Chapter 26 The First Student of the Academy

Xia Lianyi changed into a green middle-length dress, and her jet-black hair was tied up high with a jade hairpin, revealing a slender, snow-white neck and a pair of flushed cheeks that were unique to after a bath.

She walked to the dressing table with jade steps, picked up the round fan with her white jade fingers, fanning herself intermittently while admiring the beautiful face in the mirror, "Did Miss Song buy the dying academy opposite the Imperial College?"

General Chen nodded outside the screen, "Your Highness, yes. General Chen from the Inspection Department found out that the former headmaster of the academy was a spy from the Dongli Kingdom. Later, Miss Song took over the academy. I'm afraid she didn't know about it."

He was well aware of the relationship between the Song Mansion and the eldest princess. His Highness had taken Miss Song back a few days ago. Since his elder brother mentioned this to him, it seemed that he was also aware of the ins and outs of it. Today, he also wanted to find out what His Highness meant.

Xia Lianyi put down the round fan in her hand and raised a beautiful arc at the corner of her mouth. This girl is so courageous that she dared to buy the dying academy. By the way, where did she get the money before she returned to the Song family?
Wu Zi took the frost gel and smeared it on the back of his hand, slowly smudged it in circles, and said, "Reply to your elder brother, if you have ten dog heads to chop off, try to touch Song girl."

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This involves spies from other countries, and I just want to get to the bottom of it." General Chen prostrated himself on the ground in fear, trying to excuse his elder brother.

I'm really worried about my brother. Now that His Highness is protecting Miss Song, there's no need to investigate.

Xia Lianyi was worried before going to bed, so she sent for the guard who was looking after the prince, and asked him to transfer her dissolute son from the Imperial College to her eldest niece's Qingyun Academy across the street the next day.

The incident at Zuixianlou a few days ago and the letter from the secret guard placed next to her son made her furious. She really wanted to kill the young master from the noble family next to that boy with one blow, for he had led her son astray.

That kid is a born rebel and even dares to defy me, his mother. He is helping the evildoers far away in the capital, but there is someone he is afraid of. So let his eldest cousin take care of him!
Today is the fifth day since Qingyun Academy was established, and the deserted school is empty.
At Wangxin Pavilion on Shuyuan Street, Song Yanjin took off his sunshade hat while holding a flyer and fanning himself with the cool breeze.

Bai Zhu took off the dozens of satchels embroidered with the words Qingyun Academy from Xu's shoulders and placed them on the stone table. He took the flyers from the young lady's hand and comforted her, "Young lady, you are busy making a living because of the drought now. It's not surprising that we can't recruit students. When the disaster is over, people will come to us naturally."

Song Yanjin smiled bitterly. The students who gathered by the lake to compete in literary talent and compose poems were dressed in brocade clothes and looked elegant, but they did not look embarrassed by their lives at all.

The rich live in luxury while the poor freeze to death on the streets. The city and the outside world are two completely different worlds. The thing that the capital lacks the least is money.

Da da da.
Shuyuan Street is an elegant place, and a carriage is rushing down the street.

"Xu~"

Aoki reined in his horse in front of the pavilion.

Bai Zhu frowned and walked out of the pavilion with his hands on his hips, looking at his own carriage which was so familiar to him. He was about to scold Qingmu, the blockhead, "What kind of place is this? How dare you drive like that!"
Xiao Ruan poked her head out of the window and said, "Sister Song, there's a gentleman coming to the academy. You should go and take a look."

There has been a drought recently and all the money people have is used to buy food. No one is buying a house. Xiao Ruan, who has nothing to do, is busy in the academy with Sister Song, and today he is the one staying at home.

Is it such an urgent matter? Song Yanjin stood up, picked up the bag and flyers on the table and left the pavilion.

Baizhu quickly took it and got into the car.

Song Yanjin and Bai Zhu have been distributing flyers and handbags on Shuyuan Street recently to recruit students.

When making shoulder bags, I would ask Aunt Su next door to embroider the words on them. She would charge me ten cents for each bag.

Bai Zhu said that giving out shoulder bags for promotion was not cost-effective at all. She felt pain every time she gave one out. The flyers in her hand were written and drawn by a young lady who stayed up late at night, but those who took them didn't even look at them and just sat on them, or used them as draft paper or toilet paper.
Back at Qingyun Academy, Song Yanjin jumped off the carriage. Halfway up the stairs, books from the attic flew out.

A small head popped out of the second-floor window. Xia Yunheng shrank back and shouted, "Cousin, my mother asked me to study in your academy. Please bear with me in the future!" Song Yanjin felt a headache. The eldest princess really thought highly of her.

clang clang clang.
The bell for the end of school rang at the Imperial College opposite. Recently, a Qingyun Academy opened opposite, and everyone would come to the door to take a look after class.

It has been unable to recruit any students for the past few days. I heard this morning that the eldest princess transferred her son from the Imperial Academy here, which shows that the background of this academy is not ordinary.

The first student recruited by Qingyun Academy is Prince Yunheng, a playboy in the capital. It will be exciting to watch in the future.

I saw the maids and servants at the door picking up books and cleaning up the battlefield, which showed that there must be a huge commotion inside.

Everyone wanted to break in but was afraid that the princess would chop them down, so they could only stand at the door and watch.

"You want me to study only when it rains!"

A group of eunuchs and guards were chasing the prince in the backyard. Song Yanjin, who was taking a small path from the side to block them, knocked him down with a sweeping kick, stepped on his back, and whipped him hard with a small willow branch.

"If I didn't run and exercise regularly, I wouldn't be able to handle you today," Song Yanjin lifted her neck and led her to the school.

The eunuchs and guards behind her were ashamed, Miss Song was so mighty!
Song Yan randomly found an empty classroom on the first floor, exchanged a rope from the system in his brocade shirt, tied the person up, and threw him onto the straw mat without any courtesy.

"Ouch~ I'm hurt from the fall. My eldest cousin is abusing me. I'm going to tell my mother." Xia Yunheng groaned and shouted.

Song Yanjin took a ruler and tapped his face in the classroom, "You are in my hands now. If you want to be safe, how about we make a deal?"

That's not right. Isn't this my catchphrase? Xia Yunheng stared at his cousin's fierce face and immediately became timid. "Just say it."

He is now a piece of meat on the chopping block, at the mercy of others. What can he do...

Seeing that he had accepted his fate, Song Yanjin continued, "First, you are not allowed to make trouble in my academy and affect other people's studies. Otherwise, I will beat you up!"

"Second, there are no students in the academy right now. You either stay in the academy or go out with me to recruit students. Otherwise, I will beat you up!"

"Cousin, this is a forced sale. It won't benefit me at all."

Xia Yunheng turned his face away angrily and said, "I don't care, I'm going to make a big fuss!"
Song Yanjin cupped his fist and pretended to cough, "Don't interrupt me, I'm going to tell you what you can gain next."

"First, if you can follow the rules, I will give you 10% of the academy's shares, and I will share the profits with you."

Xia Yunheng opened his eyes wide. Is there really such a good thing? If I obey the instructions, I will get money?
The open mouth closed again, waiting for the next words.

"Second, with your appeal, if you can recruit a student, I will give you fifty taels of silver." Song Yanjin was like the Big Bad Wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood, showing a palm in front of him.

Xia Yunheng looked disgusted, "Cut it out! A meal at Zuixianlou costs at least five hundred taels of silver. Who are you looking down on, cousin? You wouldn't even give a beggar fifty taels of silver."

"." The stingy Song Yanjin really wanted to beat this damn kid to death!
