Chapter 147.1
Little Jing Kong's attitude was very firm, and Xiao Liulang couldn't persuade him at all, so he had to go to the Imperial Academy by himself first.
Little Jing Kong shut the door tightly.
Gu Jiao came knocking on the door, asking, "Are you ready to go to school?"
Little Jing Kong replied from behind the door, "Are they all gone?"
Gu Jiao answered in a small voice, "Gone."
Little Jing Kong grunted, "I know bad brother-in-law has left, what about big brother Yan and big brother Xiaoshun?"
Gu Jiao nodded her head, saying, "En, they have left too."
It was only then did Little Jing Kong open a tiny gap in the door, but he didn't come out immediately. Instead, he poked his little head out of the door and looked around.
When he was sure no one else was there, he came out with the book bag on his back.
Probably still feeling shy, his face was a bit flushed.
In order to hide his embarrassment, he tried his best to look serious and mature as much as possible, and walked ahead with a mighty swagger, looking fierce but adorable.
The path was slippery all the way. In order to prevent the little guy from tumbling down again, Gu Jiao picked him up directly and headed to the Imperial Academy while carrying him.
Oh, dear.
Little Jing Kong's little face was very red.
He was a mature child. Being held like this at home was fine, but not outside.
However, he really liked JiaoJiao’s hug very much, and he couldn’t bear to part with it.
Gu Jiao carried the little guy all the way to the gate of the Imperial Academy before putting him down.
Little Jing Kong was so drowned in happiness, very, very much so.
Although three ignorant adults angered him to death early in the morning, he was still very happy to have been able to go to school with JiaoJiao!
"Here we are." Gu Jiao stroked his little cheek.
"En!" Little Jing Kong nodded reluctantly and said, "Then I'm going in!"
Gu Jiao bent down and looked him in the eye, straightened the lapel of his clothes and said, "Listen well to the teacher."
Little Jing Kong patted his chest and promised, "I will!"
He wasn’t just saying this.
The teachers of the Imperial Academy were much more knowledgeable than those of the private schools in the county town, especially those of the elite class, who were all fairly talented.
In fact, most of the contents of their lectures were new knowledge that Little Jing Kong hadn’t learned yet, so Little Jing Kong was seriously paying attention to class.
"Go in." Gu Jiao patted him on his small shoulder.
"Goodbye, JiaoJiao!" Little Jing Kong waved his hand at Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao watched him enter the Imperial Academy with a smile. He was the youngest student in the Imperial Academy. If not for the Imperial Academy uniform he was wearing, no one would believe that he belonged to the elite class of the elementary division.
Gu Jiao didn’t turn to leave until he was out of sight.
Imperial Academy was divided into two major courtyard areas. The main courtyard area was where the six halls of the Imperial Academy were located, while the subordinate courtyard area was where the private elementary division was. One was to the left and one to the right after entering the gate.
The elite class was in the innermost part of the Imperial Academy’s private elementary division.
Little Jing Kong lost his temper in the morning and was delayed for a bit. It was getting late now, so he quickened his pace a little.
Unexpectedly, just as he passed by a rockery, a child suddenly appeared from behind the rockery.
It was unknown who bumped into whom first, but both of them fell down.
Little Jing Kong slumped to the ground. He was short so it didn’t hurt much, but the other party let out a loud and painful cry.
Little Jing Kong was simply stunned by the other party’s howl.
He forgot to get up and remained sitting on the ground, staring at the opposite person for a while.
It was a little boy who was about the same height as his deskmate, who was seven years of age. Little Jing Kong guessed that he might also be seven years old.
However, while his deskmate was thin, this one before him was fat, even fatter than big brother Lin Chengye.
The little boy howled so much that it attracted the attention of the group of people following behind the little boy.
Little Jing Kong watched those people swarm around the little boy, asking him what was wrong. They looked nervous and scared, as though the little boy was going to die soon.
Little Jing Kong tilted his head sideways and looked at him. Did he really fall that badly?
Little Jing Kong was wondering if he should ask how he was too, when he saw the little boy suddenly pointing to him with a crying face, "He bumped into me! He bumped into me! He bumped into me! Hurry up and arrest him for me!"
The group of servants around the little boy shifted their gazes to Little Jing Kong.
Among them was an old servant... Um, Little Jing Kong didn’t think he looked like a man, but he was clearly not a woman either.
He was extremely confused.
That old servant smiled and gently spoke to Little Jing Kong, asking, "Did you bump into my young master?"
He was clearly smiling, but Little Jing Kong did not feel any kindness from his smile.
Little Jing Kong got up by himself, pondered carefully, and corrected, "It’s true I didn’t pay much attention to where I was going, but the same goes for him too. Otherwise, he would’ve avoided me! And I can't walk fast either! Therefore it can’t be said I bump into him, but rather the two of us bumped into each other!"
The old servant smiled faintly and said, "Exactly, you bumped into my young master. Don't be afraid. My young master is not an unreasonable person. You only have to apologize to my young master, and the matter will be over."
Children, they were all easy to coax.
If he apologized, the young master would retrieve his lost face, and this matter would be forgotten.
However, Little Jing Kong didn't do it. He looked at the other party with a stunned face and said, "He also bumped into me. Why do you want me to apologize to him? Will he apologize to me as well after I apologize to him?"
The old servant choked up.
The little boy kicked his legs about on the ground and cried, "I'm not going to apologize to him! Arrest him for me! Arrest him! Arrest him! I want to see him punished for his crime!"
Little Jing Kong's ears had nearly gone deaf by his clamoring. How could there be such a child who howled this much?
There was so much noise at this side that it attracted a lot of onlookers.
Several teachers also heard the commotion.
The teachers called their students back to their respective classes, leaving only Teacher Jiang from the elite class.
Just last night, Teacher Jiang received the news saying that another student would be transferred into his elite class.
This student had not passed the entrance examination, but his status was apparently extraordinary so much so that the Imperial Academy could not refuse him.
Teacher Jiang learned about the situation from the two small parties.
The little boy shouted, "He bumped into me!"
Little Jing Kong said firmly, "No, we bumped into each other!"
Teacher Jiang wasn’t quick to side with the little boy and indiscriminately asked Little Jing Kong to apologize.
According to Teacher Jiang’s understanding of Little Jing Kong, if it was really an unilateral collision, he would not deny it.
In fact, this was a very minor thing. It was enough to reason with the two students and have them shake hands in reconciliation.
Little Jing Kong was a reasonable child. If the other party was willing to make peace, he wouldn’t hold on to this matter.
But the little boy wasn’t so agreeable.
He had never suffered this injustice all his life!
"I don't care, I don't care! He won't kowtow to me and plead guilty! I'll have him arrested! "
The little fatty irascibly jumped about , and Little Jing Kong felt the ground shake!
"What happened?"
Just then, Director Zheng came up with a dignified look.
Teacher Jiang gave him a salute, "Lord Zheng."
The Junior Chief died while the Old Chief resigned. Director Zheng became the highest official of the Imperial Academy. It was a few days ago that he temporarily took the post of Imperial Academy Chief with the help of Grand Preceptor Zhuang.
