Chapter 85 - II
“Teacher Jiang doesn’t spank you, because he teaches with kindness, but this is not the reason for you to contradict him. From now on, this whip will be given to your junior uncle, specifically to beat you all!”
Li Jiarui’s palms were hot and he lowered his head, curling his lips disdainfully.
Li Jiarui thought to himself with Jing Xingzhi’s stature not as tall as him, how could he be afraid of being beaten by Jing Xingzhi? A joke!
Li Jiading and Li Jiafu, the two younger ones, were much better behaved and nodded repeatedly.
Li Jiafu didn’t even dare to take a breath and looked at Jing Xingzhi helplessly, his expression just writing “Don’t hit me” on his face.
Jing Xingzhi winked at him and smiled.
Li Jiafu’s heart dropped, thinking that only the second brother who had angered the teacher would be beaten, and the teacher would be disappointed with him at most.
After saying a few words and telling Teacher Jiang to work hard on Jing Xingzhi’s lessons, Li Yunxi left. He was a busy man and didn’t really have much time.
As soon as Li Yunxi left, Li Jiarui returned to his old self, lying on the soft cushion and looking around.
Judging from his ungrateful appearance, Jing Xingzhi knew that the naughty boy was probably still thinking of troubling him.
To be honest, he was really afraid… afraid that the naughty kid wouldn’t cause trouble.
After all, a good person like him would not take the initiative to bully others.
Jing Xingzhi chose a seat and sat down, took out his book, and placed it on the desk.
Teacher Jiang first gave a lecture to Li Jiafu and asked Li Jiading to study by himself. After finishing the lecture to Li Jiafu, he gave a lecture to Li Jiading.
After Li Jiading’s lecture, Teacher Jiang went to look at the book Jing Xingzhi was reading with a smile and started chatting with him.
Li Yunxi had told him to work more on Jing Xingzhi’s examination, so Teacher Jiang guessed Jing Xingzhi was a disciple who would take the examination next year. He shared his views on passing examinations, explaining it in simple terms, which benefited Jing Xingzhi a lot.
Li Jiarui watched the two people talking happily. He picked up the ink stick and knocked on the desk, deliberately interrupting the two of them: “Oh! Teacher, you haven’t given me a lecture yet!”
In the past, Teacher Jiang would have ignored him. Li Jiarui was very happy. But seeing that Teacher Jiang and Jing Xingzhi were getting on well with each other today, Li Jiarui wanted to step in and make the two of them unhappy.
When Teacher Jiang was called like this, his face immediately turned sour.
His face was torn, he was going to leave soon, and the Holy Emperor even knew about His Second Highness’s naughty nature, so Teacher Jiang had a very calm attitude toward Li Jiarui, which meant that he was not expecting much from him.
Teacher Jiang said: “Second Highness, wait a minute. I’ll finish explaining to Xingzhi first. If you’re bored, why not memorize the two volumes of the book in front of you? I’ll check it later.”
“You!” Li Jiarui was so angry that he almost stood up.
He didn’t separate the two people and also caused trouble for himself. Li Jiarui could be regarded as losing his wife and losing his troops.
“How about me? I gave you each homework, but you didn’t work on it. What do you want to study now?” Teacher Jiang hated this student so much that he spoke in a bad tone.
But when he turned around and faced Jing Xingzhi, Teacher Jiang had a smile on his face again.
That smile made Li Jiarui angry like a puffer fish!
Li Jiarui didn’t read a book; he just stared at the two men who were laughing and chatting softly. Then his eyes became smaller and smaller, and he fell asleep angrily without knowing it.
.
On the other side, Teacher Jiang was very satisfied with the new student. After many years, he finally no longer had to teach those books that he had repeated many times!
There was no need to teach reading, but the basic Four Books and Five Classics. How cool! It seemed that all his knowledge had finally been put to use.
Teacher Jiang put aside his displeasure at being angry and happily talked about his exams back then.
Because of his excitement, Teacher Jiang’s voice was a little louder. When Li Jiarui woke up, he frowned and listened to the voice.
There were five people in the school, and the other three were listening carefully to Teacher Jiang’s lecture, which seemed very interesting.
Li Jiarui was not gregarious and snorted coldly: “It happened so many years ago, what’s so interesting about it?”
Teacher Jiang was choked by him and became very angry.
He looked at Li Jiarui and asked him: “Your Highness, I wonder how you memorized the second volume and the fifth volume? Since you have nothing to do, just memorize the second volume. I will check the fifth volume tomorrow.”
Li Jiarui, after sleeping all morning, didn’t know what the second volume of the old teacher was talking about.
He had a stinky face and said confidently: “I don’t remember it.”
‘It’s coming, it’s coming! This is the toughness I want. A real man should be like this!’
‘If you don’t do this, how can I have a chance to try the shiny silver whip?’
Jing Xingzhi felt happy, looked at Li Jiarui with a straight face, and said in a critical tone: “Teacher asked you to recite, why don’t you recite it?”
Li Jiarui raised his chin: “My body hurts, I fell asleep, didn’t you see it? Where did your eyes go?”
Teacher Jiang felt that the blood all over his body was rushing. Listening to this, was this what a student should say?
Still so confident! Teacher Jiang originally thought that he would just ignore Li Jiarui and get through the last days. He didn’t expect that if he ignored Li Jiarui, Li Jiarui would still find trouble on his own. This really pissed off the old man!
