Chapter 59 Beautiful misunderstanding

Ye Shiran looked at Gongshu Tianye's handsome face over and over again, almost crumpling it into a ball, muttering, "I didn't expect Tianye to be a pig in disguise, seemingly stupid, but actually very smart."

The classmates watching around him advised, "Brother Ye, don't be angry. You were eliminated because you are not as skilled as others. Work hard and you will definitely make it in the next exam."

"Yes, Tianye's father is the Prime Minister. Maybe when he comes home from school, his father will give him some private lessons."

Everyone was trying to persuade him, but Ye Shiran pouted and angrily let go of his hand, "Hmph, Xiao Tianye, just wait for me, I will definitely surpass you next time."

Gongshu Tianye narrowed his eyes and smiled innocently, "Brother Ye, let's work hard together!"

Song Yanjin was standing in the corridor, unable to bear watching the two men confronting each other so adorably, so he walked away holding the test paper and pretending to cough.

"The headmaster is here!"

I don't know who made the announcement, but the students gathered around and dispersed, returning to their seats.

Song Yanjin walked up to the podium with satisfaction and handed the test paper in his hand to Bai Zhu.

After every exam, the papers would be reviewed the next day. Gongshu Tianye had already caught up with the progress of the Spring Examination Class, but occasionally he would miss some knowledge, and he was too embarrassed to ask his classmates or teacher, so he would go back and ask his sister.

In the afternoon, Song Yanjin and Bai Zhu each carried a stack of test papers to the administrative department. One of their jobs was to print the test papers.

Song Yanjin simply invented the most primitive printing tool. He adjusted the order of the words on the wooden cover according to the words of each question. He only needed to put ink in, press it down and lift it up to print one side of the paper.

The office space of the administrative department is as big as a school classroom, with dozens of printing tables operated by seven or eight people. The manager here greeted Song Yanjin and went to work.

Song Yanjin was also adjusting the characters, and looking for the missing characters in the character box again.

There are generators and printers in the system, but Song Yanjin doesn’t even dare to think about it because points are so expensive!
Cui Yuanchang came in with a note in his hand, "Shanzhang, Gongshu Yuanyuan wants to visit you tomorrow."

Song Yanjin found a word and put it into the cover. He couldn't help but frown when he saw the pink visiting card in Yuan Chang's hand. He hated dealing with these delicate and talented women. If he said something wrong, they would hate him for the rest of his life and would talk about him behind his back.

I have a day off tomorrow and I wanted to have a good rest. But last time someone asked my brother to send me a bottle of pear paste. Although I dare not use it, it is thoughtful of me.

Song Yanjin adjusted a question in his hand and said, "See you, Yuan Chang, go and reply."

"Yes, Chief Shan."

Cui Yuanchang agreed and turned to leave.

It was a rare day off, so Song Yanjin got up early, washed up, and went to the teacher's resting house to wait for someone to come.

At the gate of Qingyun Academy, a perfumed carriage stopped. The purple-clothed maid got off the carriage first, and then led her young lady down the stairs.

"cough~"

Gongshu Yuanyuan coughed dryly in the cold wind, and the maid gathered her cloak and said, "Miss, you have a slight cold. Why do you want to go out and meet the notorious Song Shanzhang and suffer this?"

The one who spoke was Zhique, the maid her father had given her a few days ago. Gongshu Yuanyuan smiled faintly and said nothing, but she helped the maid Xingzi, who had grown up with her, to step onto the stairs.

The gatekeeper received instructions from Manager Cui and led everyone to the Master's resting place.

The servant politely raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Master, the distinguished guest has arrived."

"Enter."

A clear word came from the inner room.

Shibazu passed the young lady and stepped in first. Xingzi rolled her eyes, but the young lady pinched her wrist as a warning.

The first person Song Yanjin saw when he looked up was the maid in purple. She raised her head proudly with her eyes rolling around.

Then a graceful lady in pink came in, with her fingers folded on her belly and her knees slightly bent, "Greetings to Mr. Song, I have heard of your great name for a long time."

The purple-robed maid then retreated behind her master and did not follow her in paying respects, but just pretended to lower her head.

"Ms. Gongshu is a talented lady from a famous family. How can I accept such a great gift?"

Song Yanjin returned the greeting.

Gongshu Yuanyuan sensed the alienation and smiled at Song Shanzhang, "These are all rumors. When it comes to talented women, I am not as good as Miss Yan Ge, the Juren, and even less as good as you, her teacher, Song Shanzhang."

This was a modest statement. Song Yanjin gestured for them to sit down at the tea table.

Baizhu had already made tea and poured two cups for the people coming over.

Gongshu Yuanyuan picked up the teacup with her white jade fingers and sniffed the refreshing tea fragrance. People outside said that she was unparalleled in beauty and the most talented woman in the capital. But when she met Song Shanzhang today, she had delicate features, tall figure, and bookish air. She was worthy of the word "unparalleled in beauty".

Gongshu Yuanyuan took a sip and put down the cup, "Zhi Que, my hand warmer fell on the carriage, go get it."

When she was called, the maid standing behind her knelt down to her mistress, "Yes!"

Song Yanjin could tell that she was sent away on purpose.

"Principal, I'm sorry to bother you today. I just want to know if my brother is used to being here? Can he keep up with the lessons?"

Gongshu Yuanyuan clenched her handkerchief and asked anxiously.

Does that kid also need someone to worry about him?

Song Yanjin smiled and comforted her, "Gongshu Tianye ranked third in the Spring Examination class in the small test the day before yesterday, so it won't be a problem for him to get the second place in the Spring Examination."

Hearing such praise from the headmaster, Xingzi looked at the young lady with joy.

Gongshu Yuanyuan's heart dropped, "To be honest, the family situation is complicated. Dad is a soft-hearted person. There are many concubines in the backyard, and a lot of brothers and sisters..."

Somehow, he was usually very patient, but in front of Director Song he couldn't control his mouth and spilled all his family secrets.

Song Yanjin was overwhelmed. It turned out that the waters in the Prime Minister's Mansion were even more complicated than those in the Song Mansion. Although he felt a little sympathetic towards the girl in front of him, the fact that such a weak girl could survive until now showed that she had some means.

Song Yanjin said, "Miss Gongshu, don't worry. The Spring Examination Class is full of children from aristocratic families. People outside say that they are spoiled, but these children are also people of true character. If they choose the right guide, they will definitely have a bright future ahead of them."

"Uncle Gong Tianye is innocent and simple. The people in the class have always treated him as a younger brother and spoiled him. They couldn't take enough time to take care of him. When the results came out yesterday, Dali Temple's younger brother Ye Shiran was always ranked third. He wanted to make trouble, but was persuaded by his classmates. It's not an exaggeration to say that Tianye is now the favorite of the Spring Examination Class."

After Song Yanjin finished speaking, she despised herself in her heart. When she was in high school, there were parent-teacher meetings and the head teacher would just praise the children when talking to the parents. She didn't expect that she felt the same way today and was afraid that the parents would think too much.

Hearing that her brother was doing well in the academy, Gongshu Yuanyuan felt relieved. When Song Shanzhang mentioned the Dali Temple Shaoqing, her face turned red, "I will talk to my brother when I get back and ask him to give in to the younger brother of the Ye family."

Seeing her blush, Song Yanjin asked Gongshu Tianye to give in to the younger brother of the Ye family...

After being confused for a while, he suddenly realized something. Could it be that the girl in front of him liked Ye Shiran, that naughty guy?

Just as he was about to ask more, the maid in purple came back with a hand warmer.
