Chapter 205 The Person You Should Not Offend
Seeing Peng and Yao being taken away, no one dared to stop them. The entire Xie Mansion was as quiet as a chicken.
What happened today made the maids and old women realize that the person they must not offend the most in the Xie Mansion was not the eldest master Xie Changting, nor the most senior old lady.
But the eldest daughter in their house!
Whoever provokes it will be in trouble and no one can escape.
As for how unlucky they are, that depends on the mood of their eldest girl.
Being beaten and scolded, losing money to avoid disasters were the least of his problems. Even the old lady had her hands broken. Yu Yuanli was almost poisoned to death, and his hands were crippled. In the future, let alone being a thief, it will be difficult for him to take care of himself.
The second wife and Aunt Yao were even worse off, they were arrested and imprisoned, and their lives were ruined. Not only would the brothers Xie Donghai and Xie Dahe be affected by them, but even the children of the two wives would be implicated.
Those maids and old women were like quails, looking at Xie Lan with deep fear in their eyes.
But Xie Lan didn't care.
After eating the melon and watching the fun, I slowly arrived at the Royal Academy in a carriage, just as other students were finishing their classes.
Xie Lan didn't care at all that she missed the previous classes, because her purpose of coming to the academy was not to study anyway.
Xie Lan turned her head to ask the girl next to her and learned that the next class was mathematics. She just took the books out of her bag.
The lady next to her kindly reminded her, "Master Qiu, who teaches mathematics, just came to inform us to go to Confucius Hall for class."
Xie Lan looked confused, "Why do we have to go to Confucius Hall?"
"Master Qiu said that all eight classes in Hanmeiyuan will take today's math class together. Confucius Hall is the largest place, and only there can accommodate so many people."
Xie Lan was a little surprised, "So our Hanmei Academy has eight classes?"
Liu Xinning was a gentle person. Seeing that she seemed to know nothing about the Royal Academy, she briefly told her about the situation in the academy.
In the Royal Academy, the male students were divided into Xuelin Academy, Xiuzhu Academy, Jingyuan Academy, Hongtu Academy, and Zhegui Academy according to their social status. The girls were divided into Juhua Academy, Furong Academy, Lanxiang Academy, Hanmei Academy, and Shaoyao Academy.
In these ten colleges, each college is divided into eight classes: Qiankun, Riyue, Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding.
Originally, according to Xie Changting's official position, Xie Lan could only enter the Chrysanthemum Courtyard. However, perhaps because she revealed her photographic memory during the assessment test, she was actually arranged to go to the Plum Courtyard.
It is still the best team in Hanmeiyuan.
In Liu Xinning's opinion, this was the greatest favor the academy could give to Xie Lan.
But Xie Lan didn't feel anything about this. After all, she came to the academy just to kill time and have fun. It made no difference to her which class she was assigned to.
Liu Xinning was a very enthusiastic person. She was afraid that Xie Lan didn't know where the Confucius Hall was, so she took her with her.
Master Qiu was famous for his strictness in the academy, and no student dared to be late for his mathematics class. When they arrived, they saw that many students had already come to the Confucius Hall.
Liu Xinning looked around and saw that there were a few empty seats in front, so she immediately wanted to take Xie Lan over there.
But when Xie Lan saw the position, he refused without a second thought.
Liu Xinning chose a seat that was relatively close to the front, so it was difficult to hide any noise in class from the teacher. Xie Lan didn't want to be caught and scolded by the teacher when he dozed off.
After looking around, Xie Lan pointed to the right corner and said to Liu Xinning, "Thank you for bringing me here, but I want to sit over there, not with you." Liu Xinning looked in the direction of her finger and frowned, "That's not a good position, it's too far away. I'm afraid I can't see the teacher's writing clearly, and it's hard to listen to the teacher's lectures."
"It's okay, I like sitting there." Xie Lan knew everything Liu Xinning said.
But what she wanted was to stay away from the Master's eyes, so that she wouldn't be easily discovered by the Master whether she was daydreaming or sleeping while sitting there.
Liu Xinning tried to persuade her for a few words, but seeing that Xie Lan insisted on sitting in that corner, she had no choice but to let her go.
Although Shouguang County Princess was also in the Royal Academy, she was naturally in the best-ranked Peony Garden given her status. As for Xie Yan, she was in the worst Class C in the Chrysanthemum Courtyard.
Xie Lan was a new student, and she didn't know anyone in Hanmei Courtyard. She sat down in a corner and arranged her mathematics books and study supplies. Not long after, she saw a stern-looking teacher with half-white hair walk into the Confucius Hall.
Xie Lan guessed that this person was probably Master Qiu.
As expected, when they saw Master Qiu coming, all the students stood up and saluted him respectfully. Everyone else stood up, and Xie Lan couldn't sit still, so he stood up and saluted as well.
Only after Master Qiu returned the gift did everyone sit down again.
This Master Qiu was not only strict, but also seemed to be a man of efficiency. He did not say any more nonsense, and immediately began to lecture after all the students were seated.
Xie Lan was taking a math class for the first time, so she inevitably felt a little new. However, she soon discovered that what Master Qiu was talking about was very simple. Her second senior brother had already explained it to her at Sanqing Temple.
The novelty wore off, and Xie Lan gradually felt that time was becoming unbearable.
Not long after, she felt that the sound of the teacher's lectures, like her master's sermons, had a hypnotic effect.
Glancing at the teacher in front of him, Xie Lan saw that he was concentrating on explaining the problem, so he immediately put the math book upright in front of him. Then he lowered his head and lay down on the table.
As the saying goes, spring is not a good time to study, and the hot summer is a good time to sleep. There are mosquitoes in autumn and snow in winter. If you want to study, wait until next year.
The teacher's voice was the best lullaby, and Xie Lan fell asleep quickly.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Xie Lan, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound of angry slamming on the table.
When she looked up, she saw Master Qiu staring at her sternly.
"This is a college, not a dormitory. Since you have no intention of studying, why bother wasting your time here? Go back to your house if you want to sleep."
Xie Lan didn't expect that this teacher, at his age, still had such good eyesight. She had deliberately chosen the most inconspicuous position, but she was still discovered.
But she was upset that her sweet dream was interrupted, so she said without thinking, "Okay, I'll leave now."
Master Qiu was so angry that he almost pulled out the little remaining beard.
Whose family is this girl from? She was caught dozing off in class. Shouldn't she be terrified and admit her mistake to him? Why is she acting like a dandy? When he told her to go back to sleep, she really left?
Huang Ziyan had been feeling angry ever since he lost the bet to Xie Lan. When he saw that she was about to be driven away by the teacher, he immediately gloated and laughed at her.
"Miss Xie, even if you have a photographic memory, you are still no better than ordinary students like us. It's only the second day of school, and you are being chased away by the teacher. It's really embarrassing."
"What? You are actually the Miss Xie who has a photographic memory?"
Looking at Mr. Qiu's surprised and fanatical eyes, Xie Lan suddenly felt something was wrong, and she subconsciously wanted to deny it.
