Ask for advice

One morning, in the Gu family school.

The official time for class had not yet arrived, so Chen He took advantage of this gap to hand out the homework that had been marked yesterday to the students. While he was reading out the names, he also read out the grades, which made everyone's hearts beat like drums.

Extremely nervous.

"Gu Yunji - excellent; Gao Che - excellent; Xue Yue - excellent; Gu Huaishao - excellent..."

The people whose names were read came forward one by one and took away their homework from the podium. They were either excited and secretly happy, or frowning, with different expressions and postures.

"Cheng Yan - Excellent." When it was Cheng Yan's turn, Chen He nodded with satisfaction, admiration in his eyes, "Your calligraphy is very good."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Cheng Yan looked calm and did not show any pride or complacency due to Chen He's praise. After slightly nodding to him, he returned to his seat with his homework.

Half a moment later, almost everyone had received their homework, except for one person who was still waiting for Chen He to read his name. He was on pins and needles, like a prisoner about to be executed, and he was suffering from heart to body.

Scanning the name of the last assignment on the podium, Chen He's face darkened, he raised his eyelids slightly, and his sharp sword-like gaze instantly locked onto someone sitting in the corner: "Gu Ming'an, I haven't heard my name for so long.

Aren't you in a hurry?"

Gu Ming'an's body stiffened, and a bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart. After hearing this, he could only bite the bullet and walk forward, moving step by step to the edge of the podium, hesitantly said: "...Mr. Chen,

But what’s wrong with my homework?”

"What's the problem? It's a big problem!" Chen He snorted and slammed Gu Ming'an's homework on the platform. "Take a good look at it for yourself. What are you writing? It doesn't make sense!"

"There are eighteen people in the whole school, and you are the only one who gets a bad grade! The logic is confusing, confusing, and there are even typos. It is completely unreadable! I don't want to give you a grade of above, middle, or below. Anyway, you are a grade one, left or right.

No difference!”

Chen He's reprimand came down like a thunderstorm. Looking at the circles drawn with ink on his homework, Gu Ming'an's face turned red and white, then white and red again. He felt that everyone around him seemed to be looking at him.

What a joke, for a moment I wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

"'On the Changes in the Household Tax of Our Dynasty', this question is not difficult, right? Gu Ming'an, there are many elders in your family who are officials. Your father, Gu Kaili, is also in charge of the civil affairs of Songjiang Prefecture. You have been exposed to such an environment since you were a child. It stands to reason that

I know something about household tax, but I just answered like this!"

"I have read your previous articles, and your level is still good. You can barely be considered a talent. Why is it that as we get closer to the provincial examination, you are deteriorating more and more?" Chen He was so angry that his saliva flew everywhere, with a look of hatred on his face.

Bu Chenggang, "I am absent-minded and in a daze every day. I don't even know if you are listening in class!"

This is not the first time that Gu Ming'an has been so perfunctory in his homework, and it is not the first time that Chen He has gotten angry because of this. Whenever he lectured and scolded him, the other party would lower his head and obey, looking like he was heartbroken and repentant, but secretly he still went his own way, without any hesitation.

No progress is seen.

When he thought of this, the anger in Chen He's chest surged up, and his patience was completely exhausted. He threw his homework into Gu Ming'an's arms and said angrily: "Forget it, I don't want to talk to you so much.

, it’s useless to talk about it! Go back and revise it yourself, and submit a new copy to me tomorrow!”

"I really don't know how to write it, so I'll ask Cheng Yan and Gu Yunji for advice and see how they write it!"

It’s Cheng Yan again!

Gu Ming'an, who was about to turn around and go back, paused in his steps, tightened his fists on his tight side, and there was a look of resentment in his eyes. But then his eyes flashed, and his expression quickly returned to calm, without anyone noticing his gaffe, and he lowered his head.

He silently returned to his seat.

During class, looking at Cheng Yan who was sitting in his seat quietly reviewing his books, Gu Mingan narrowed his eyes slightly and his face became dim for a few moments. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he walked up to him with his homework and said maliciously.

He said to him, "Mr. Cheng, are you serious?"

Feeling the shadow cast from above, Cheng Yan frowned imperceptibly and asked without raising his head: "What do you want to do?"

"What can I do?" Hearing the defensiveness in Cheng Yan's words, Gu Mingan raised his eyebrows and said in a nonchalant tone, "Mr. Chen said that I didn't do well in my homework. Let me see how you did it. I won't do it right now."

I followed my master's instructions and came to ask Mr. Cheng for advice, have you asked for advice?"

Gu Ming'an emphasized the word "asking for advice" very hard and spoke in a shady manner, which did not sound like he was sincerely asking for advice.

In view of Gu Ming'an's previous behavior, Cheng Yan would not think that his purpose was really so simple. Hearing this, he did not want to get involved with him, so he casually found an excuse and said, "I'm busy now, let's talk about it later."

"Mr. Chen didn't assign any new homework, so what can you do?" Gu Ming'an refused and took the book from Cheng Yan's hand when he wasn't paying attention, ""Songjiang Prefecture's Provincial Examination Questions in the Past Ten Years"

...It turns out to be an exam question set. It looks the same no matter what time you look at it. Why don’t you tell me about your homework first?”

Seeing that Cheng Yan still wanted to shirk, Gu Ming'an immediately raised his voice and said loudly on purpose: "I see others coming to ask for advice, and you are very happy to answer, why can't I do it? After all, you are really too busy to do anything, even

You can't spare any time; or is it because of the holiday between you and me that day that you have a grudge against me?"

The people around him were immediately attracted by Gu Ming'an's words. After hearing this, they all looked at Cheng Yan, as if they were exploring whether he was really as narrow-minded as Gu Ming'an said.

Cheng Yan's eyelids twitched, and a sigh of relief filled his chest. He couldn't get angry at Gu Ming'an in public, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "If you really want to ask for advice, then I'll tell you now!" With that, he handed over Gu Ming'an's words.

The homework was spread out on the table and explained from the beginning.

After a while, Cheng Yan's mouth went dry as he spoke. He turned around and saw that Gu Ming'an's eyes were wandering, and it seemed that he was not paying attention. So he paused, holding back his breath and said, "Do you understand?"

Gu Mingan shook his head simply: "Not at all."

Then, without waiting for Cheng Yan to answer, he sighed to himself and pretended to be very sorry: "He said he wanted to explain it to me, but in fact he went around and around without getting to the point. It was just a fool.

I. It seems that you still have a grudge against me——"

Gu Yunji on the side became angry after hearing this, and couldn't help but said: "Cheng Yanzi told you carefully three times, but you didn't listen carefully, so why did he fool you? Who has a grudge against whom?"

"Forget it, I'd better figure it out on my own." Gu Ming'an avoided Gu Yunji's question in a natural tone, his voice pretending to be pitiful, which made people's teeth itch, "I'm stupid and can't learn anything, and now I've wasted Master Cheng.

It's been a long time, and I really don't dare to delay your reading anymore, but I still thank you for explaining your homework to me."

With that said, he picked up his homework and returned to his seat with a lonely look on his face.

I have to say that Gu Ming'an was very talented in acting when he was lying down. Everyone was far away and could not hear clearly what Cheng Yan was explaining to him, but looking at his sad expression and self-deprecating tone, it seemed that he was really devoted.

When he asked for advice, he was fooled and refused. For a moment, he unconsciously tilted towards him, which inevitably led him to have some opinions about Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan sighed silently when he saw this, and stopped Gu Yunji who wanted to ask for an explanation: "Forget it, let him say whatever he wants, anyway, I won't lose any meat."

Cheng Yan comforted himself like this, but he was still confused in his heart.

What did Gu Mingan want to do here today? Is it just to damage his image and make him appear narrow-minded and intolerant?

Really unable to figure it out, Cheng Yan stopped thinking about it. Putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, he calmed down and continued reading his book.
