Chapter 131 Famous
Perhaps sensing the awkward feeling of his adoptive mother, Mu Mu ran forward and hugged her legs, shaking hard while pleading, “Mom, I beg you, let’s keep Dalang!”

The little monkey seemed to have received special training. First, he sniffed the smell on Guan Suyi’s body, after making sure that he was not looking for the wrong person, he then climbed to a peach tree, picked up a peach blossom, and handed it over with a grin, looking very attentive.

Jinzi and Minglan were greatly surprised, and exclaimed “This monkey is really divine! Miss, you might as well keep it, and it can accompany the young master to play. He is the only child in the house, it’s indeed a bit lonely.”

Guan Suyi was still hesitating, just because when she saw this monkey, she would think of Hunnar, if she keep it, it would seem that there were shadows of that person everywhere in the mansion. However, she was even more reluctant to disappoint Mu Mu. After all, this was the first time he asked her for something.

Seeing that his adoptive mother’s expression was slightly soften, Mu Mu quickly wrapped his short legs around her, pleading with a milky voice. The little monkey was even smarter, picked a lot of peach blossoms and sprinkled it on her head, making it full of colorful falls. Guan Suyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry by these two’s antics, so she had to agree.

While  the Emperor Teacher Mansion was full of laughter and joy, the Zhao Mansion was still gloomy and depressed. The door between the East and West Mansions was completely locked. If people between the two mansions wanted to communicate with each other, they had to go outside the mansion and knock on the gate. Zhao Luli was always go out for business, rarely returned home, and when he finally came back once in a while, he would stay in the tea house opposite the Emperor Teacher Mansion for a whole day. If he could occasionally saw Guan Suyi while she went out, and look at her from a distance, he would be able to pull himself up.

The old madam had been wore down by the toxins, and fell ill every three days, and now she could only lie in bed. Zhao Chunxi wanted to take care of the matter both outside and inside, and also take care of her grandmother and Zhao Huai’en. Because of that she grew up rapidly, and her face has been covered with a layer of twilight before she even reach marriageable age.

Knowing that Lu Fengming hurriedly packed up and left Yanjing without stopping, she guessed that something had happened, and immediately sent someone to inquire. Just after receiving the exact news, Zhao Wangshu actually returned to the mansion and rushed to Penglai Garden to talk to Ye Zhen. She sneered while looking forward to it, stood in the corridor listening.

There was a buzzing sound inside, it should be Zhao Wangshu reporting Lu Fengming’s scandal, and then she heard Ye Zhen’s hoarse voice, “Am I not doing it for your own good? No matter how talented Qi Yu is, does anyone in Wei Kingdom know his name? If you think Guan Suyi have your best interest, why didn’t she just take you back to the Guan’s family and let you worship her grandfather or father as your teacher? As long as the two of them pull you along, you won’t be what you are now!”

Become closed disciple*? You wish! In Wei Kingdom who doesn’t know that Old Master Guan and Guan Father never accepted mediocre talents. If people cannot not pass the initial test of the two of them, they would even be kicked out. First send to the Guan clan’s first disciple to lay the foundation, and in the future when his talents were more profound, then enter the Emperor Teacher or Chief of Ceremonies’ place, this is the way to fight steadily. Do you think that everyone is like you Ye Zhen, with a mind to climb high branches while taking shortcuts? Zhao Chunxi mused sarcastically.

Perhaps Zhao Wangshu also said the same, causing Ye Zhen to smashed a lot of things, and repeatedly scolded him for repaying kindness by stabbing people in the back. Vaguely, Zhao Wangshu’s bitter voice came intermittently, to the effect that at this literary gathering, the students had different performances, the good and the bad were mixed. The Emperor Teacher was deeply aware of this big problem, and had decided to submit report to the emperor, dividing the triennial imperial examination into regional and hierarchical and progressive style, from easy to difficult, step by step, first pass the preliminary exam, then pass the second test, and then the third exam, finally select the best group of students, who would be selected by the emperor himself. This was the same way the Guan clan selected their students, only on a larger scale.
