Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 469 I am also your apprentice

Yun Qinghan was really a little surprised at this moment. He had fallen out of favor, but when he thought of his own wife who was more favored, he didn't care. After all, they were a family, there was no distinction between you and me, and the one who should be sad was his senior brother.

Thinking of this, I felt more comfortable: "Master, Junior Brother will be here in a moment. I just want to tell you something."

Master Chu touched the soft and light cotton and nodded when he heard his little apprentice coming over: "What's wrong?"

Yun Qinghan: "My disciple is married."

Principal Chu: "Well, you should have gotten married long ago at your age."

Yun Qinghan: "..............They are already married."

Only then did Chu Shanzhang become serious: "They're already married. Whose daughter is she? Why are you so anxious? I haven't heard of it before!"

Yun Qinghan: "Cough cough! Cough cough!"

Shu Xiaoxiao, who had been hiding in the back, finally came out. In the headmaster's somewhat surprised eyes, she touched the well-grown cotton with her hand and said, "This cotton is growing well and has been dried. It can be picked."

Principal Chu looked the woman up and down. It was ok that she looked somewhat similar to his little disciple, but her every move and gesture was exactly like his little disciple!

Mr. Chu narrowed his eyes and said affirmatively: "Xiaoxiao!"

Yun Qinghan waved his hand, Huo Feng checked the surroundings, and walked to the side with his men.

Hearing Mr. Chu's affirmative tone, Shu Xiaoxiao was a little bit unconvinced. Apart from anything else, she had absolute confidence in the Huan Xin Grass. Apart from anything else, if she hadn't exposed it on purpose, her senior brother wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong. How did the master see through it at a glance? She felt that she had concealed it quite well, it wouldn't have been exposed long ago.

Seeing his little disciple's disbelief, Master Chu smiled proudly and said, "Master, your eyes are very sharp. I noticed something was wrong with you a long time ago, but I wasn't sure. Later, after spending more time with you, I gradually became sure."

"Didn't you notice that I no longer asked you to take the imperial examination?"

"As for the rest, you don't have to worry. You look perfect in men's clothing without any femininity. As long as you don't spend a long time with others, no one will suspect anything. Even those guys in our academy who haven't even fully grown their hair yet are unlikely to notice anything wrong."

The young disciple's appearance is indeed impeccable. Even now, people rarely associate his attire with Marquis Yongle. After all, his usual behavior is not feminine and he shows a different kind of freedom and unrestrainedness.

Unless there is solid evidence, no one will think anything else.

But there are still big differences between men and women. For someone with his experience, he will naturally find out something is wrong after a long time.

Especially after becoming his apprentice, they communicated more and spent more time together day and night, so he naturally discovered the flaws. The various swings in the yard, the daily living habits, and the various etiquette, how could they be those of a boy?

When he first found out, he was a little overwhelmed, but then he thought that he already had two apprentices, so it would be the same to have a female apprentice. What's more, even the emperor had conferred a title on the little apprentice, so it didn't matter to him.

As for what Shu Xiaoxiao thought later, that the master was relaxing with her, it was not that simple. In this era where a teacher is a father for life, how could the master relax with her studies unless he particularly hated her or had other purposes?

It was just that Dean Chu discovered that her identity was not right, and he wanted her to stay in the courtyard so that he could teach her personally, so as to avoid her being with so many students in the academy. What if she learned bad things?

What does his young disciple want to learn that he, as the headmaster, cannot teach?

There is also the little maidservant beside the young disciple. Yun Qinghan has lived in the academy for several years, and is surrounded by guards. If it weren't for the fact that the young disciple is a girl, how could Principal Chu allow Zhenzhu to come and go freely in the academy?

Later, I gradually discovered the advantages of having a girl as my little apprentice. Girls are considerate. Ever since I accepted the little apprentice, I have taken care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and arranged everything for him. In addition, there has always been good news coming from the fields. It can be said that the years that the little apprentice has been in the academy are the best years he has ever had in the academy.

It's not that the other two disciples are unfilial, but they are men after all, and they are not as careful as women. Isn't he becoming more and more partial? As for the little disciple dressing up as a man, isn't it just a woman dressing up as a man? It's just a small matter. The little disciple likes to play like this. In the future, with him as the master, he will protect his own little disciple. Even if he can't do it, don't he still have two older disciples? The little disciple and a little girl, the three of them can always protect them well, so Shu Xiaoxiao is getting more and more relaxed.

Shu Xiaoxiao was touched, and she leaned on Chu Shanzhang's shoulder, saying, "Master, you are so kind to me!"

Chu Shan smiled lovingly: "You are Master's disciple. If Master doesn't treat you well, who can he treat well?"

Then, as if he remembered something, he asked Yun Qinghan, "By the way, you just said that you are married. Who did you marry?"

Yun Qinghan:.............

He silently looked towards Shu Xiaoxiao, feeling that his master would be angry if he said what he was about to say.

Shu Xiaoxiao touched her nose and said embarrassedly: "Master, I am the one who married Senior Brother."

"What, you got married?" Director Chu suddenly stood up and asked in surprise.

Yun Qinghan raised his eyelids when he saw his master like this, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded somewhat guiltily: "Yes, my senior brother and I got married. We got married the day before yesterday."

Principal Chu's expression immediately changed. He pointed at Yun Qinghan and said angrily, "You married my apprentice, why didn't you inform me?"

Yun Qinghan:..............

Well, I'm out now. It seems that the master is really angry. Fortunately, he didn't say anything just now. Although he didn't say anything, the master still blames him.

"Tell me, why didn't you tell me that you got married? Do you still take me, your master, seriously?" Master Chu stared at her with anger. His little disciple, whom he treated like a daughter, got married just like that! She got married secretly without his knowledge. Which master could tolerate this?

The way he looked at Yun Qinghan at this moment was as if he was looking at a pig that had eaten his cabbages.

Yun Qinghan:............

The master just remembered that his second disciple was married! But it's better not to mention this reason.

"Tell me, why didn't you inform me when you went to be my apprentice?"

Yun Qinghan: "..............Master, I am also your disciple!"

Principal Chu: ".............. Well, why didn't you inform me when you got married?"

Yun Qinghan:..............

Shu Xiaoxiao was watching from the side and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She was touched by the love her master showed her, but also felt a little sympathy for her senior brother who was obviously wronged.

He quickly explained, "Master, please don't be angry. We are in a hurry to get married for a reason. Listen to me. My brother did it for my own good. We... that's why he said it was an emergency. My brother did it for my sake. Look, my brother is carrying a cane and asking for forgiveness with you. Don't be angry."

After hearing this, Shanzhang Chu no longer cared about Yun Qinghan. He looked at Shu Xiaoxiao with a worried look on his face and asked, "Are you okay now? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Master, don't worry, I'm fine now. I'm healthy now. Taoist Qingzhu also said that this kind of formation that harms people is very demanding to succeed. This time I can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. In the future, even if others want to harm me, it won't be so easy."

It's also time to listen to Taoist Qingzhu saying that after this incident, her luck has become even stronger, and it won't be so easy for anyone to use this vicious method to harm others in the future.

Only then did Chu Shanzhang feel relieved. He looked at Yun Qinghan and said, "Xiaoxiao was your junior apprentice before, and now she is your wife. You must protect her well at all times. She is the only little apprentice that the master has. Do you understand?"

Yun Qinghan: "............I know, Master. Don't worry, I will take good care of you, Junior Brother."

But I silently complained in my heart, Master, you not only have only one little disciple, but also only one second disciple and one eldest disciple. Even if you accept more disciples, you have to rank them, and there is only one in each sequence.

But he could only think of this in his mind and definitely not say it out loud, otherwise the vine behind him would come in handy immediately.

"Well, that's good. Master will naturally believe you. Oh, by the way, why are you carrying a bundle of firewood? It doesn't seem to suit you!" Principal Chu was a little confused.

Shu Xiaoxiao immediately explained: "Master, Senior Brother is here to apologize for you, and he is worried that you will be sad."

Headmaster Chu waved his hands and said, "What crime are you asking for? As long as you are doing well, I will be happy. Since you can bring good luck to your junior brother, I will forgive you this time. Throw away this firewood... this cane."

Shu Xiaoxiao quickly smiled and helped to remove the cane from Yun Qinghan's back, and said with a grin, "Brother, I told you it's okay! You look handsome even with the cane on your back."

Yun Qinghan smiled helplessly, took off the cane on his back, and looked at the soft cotton.

Shu Xiaoxiao stood in front of the cotton and said, "Master, it's OK. Just find someone to pick the cotton. After picking, take out the seeds. The cotton can be made into clothes directly."

After hearing what Shu Xiaoxiao said, Principal Chu ordered people to start picking cotton. He had been waiting for his apprentice to say this. The cotton was growing very well. One flower could be used to pick a large handful of cotton. It was so fluffy that one hand could not hold it all.

After picking a basket, Director Chu and others came back with the cotton first, and the rest of the people picked it first because Director Chu couldn't wait to see the results.

The yard where Shu Xiaoxiao lived before has basically been restored to its original state. The swing, grape trellis and stone table in the yard are all arranged as they were originally, and Yu Xing'er is responsible for the daily cleaning work.
