Everyone Knows I’m a Good Man

Chapter 308 The Concubine of the Hou Mansion (8)

The classmates in the college noticed that Ji Changze had changed. He listened carefully in class and was not as gloomy as before. He seemed to be more relaxed.

Sometimes when they meet at the door when they go home, Master Ji Jiu, who used to look gloomy and looked down on them, will take the initiative to say hello to them with a smile.

This academy is considered a place where the children of the rich and powerful in the capital go to school. Mrs. Ji also spent a lot of effort to send her youngest son in.

The original owner was not very popular in the college. His classmates didn't like him very much. The reason was that they felt that the original owner always looked down on them. Everyone was about the same age and most of them had lively personalities. If they met outside , they will greet each other cheerfully.

What about the original owner? When people greet him, he treats them as if they are nothing, and even a three-year-old child can see the perfunctory look.

As a result, the classmates gradually became unwilling to play with the original owner, feeling that he was too high-minded and looked down upon them.

In the past few days, Ji Changze had been uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, and even appeared to be in a good mood, and they were both at a loss and wondering if there was some conspiracy.

Hasn't he always looked down upon them?

Why are you so enthusiastic all of a sudden? It's like they know each other very well.

Ji Changze had been interested in the orphaned book in the hands of a gentleman for several days. After pestering him for several days, the gentleman reluctantly lent it to him. He was holding the book and wanted to go back to read it in the wind. He saw it on the way. The two teenagers, who were whispering together, freed up a hand and waved to them with a smile.

"Zizhi, Rao Ling, haven't you gone home yet?"

The two classmates who were called by their names accurately and still greeted them so enthusiastically: "..."

People greeted people with smiles, but they were too embarrassed to treat each other coldly like usual, so they could only squeeze out a dry smile and said: "Yes, you want to go back too?"

"Yes, it's such a coincidence. Why don't we go together? I remember that the three of us got along quite well."

When Ji Changze heard this, his eyes lit up, and he walked over and naturally put his hand on the shoulder of one of his classmates.

Classmate: "..."

We didn't agree.

Why do you act like we will definitely agree without asking?

We are not familiar with each other!

As if he didn't notice the frozen expressions on their faces, Ji Changze took two steps and didn't see them following him. He turned around in confusion and said, "What's wrong? Let's go."

Two people: "..."

They looked at each other, but they still couldn't help but drag their feet and followed reluctantly. From time to time, they would hear the familiar guy in front of them say: "You're really walking." Slowly, it seems I didn’t study well in my martial arts class.”

No, please understand, we are walking slowly because we don’t want to walk with you, okay?

But fortunately, everyone went home in a sedan, and they could disperse when they arrived at the entrance of the college.

Then, when they arrived at the gate of the college, they fell into silence when they faced Ji Changze who had no carriage to pick him up.

Ji Changze still smiled cheerfully: "What are you doing standing around? Let's go."

Wang Zizhi: “Where is your carriage?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on the smiling young man's face suddenly dimmed a bit, and his eyes also showed a little sadness.

Ji Changze lowered his head slightly and whispered: "My father punished me by not allowing me to take the mansion's car. I was only allowed to walk to the academy."

Of course, the truth is slightly different from what he said.

Mr. Ji was ordered by the old Marquis not to use anything in the house, including the carriage. So every time Mr. Ji went out to play, he had to go by himself in pain.

He found the right time and took the carriage out when Master Ji was leaving, with a deliberately smug and mocking expression on his face. As expected, the other party forced him to get out of the car with an angry look on his face, and scolded the servants at the gate of the Hou Mansion for a long time.

Then, Ji Changze "obeyed his father's orders" and stopped riding a carriage to school.

The two of them looked surprised: "Let's go? The Marquis Mansion is not close to the academy."

For young men who have been picked up and dropped off by cars since childhood, having to walk back to and from school is simply a fantasy.

"Um."

Ji Changze still looked sad, but soon his face showed happiness: "But it's worth it."

worth?

What's worth it?

Ji Changze: "Although I have to walk to school, in the future, I can study with peace of mind, which is good."

It does sound worthwhile.

But here's the thing.

Can't you study with peace of mind while riding a carriage? ?

When they were confused, they saw Ji Changze smiling brightly and patting both of them on the shoulders. The smile on his face was as dazzling as the sun, with happiness written all over his face: "And I can interact with you now. It's just a short walk. Not worth anything.”

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Then you can go back in the carriage. I'll just walk back by myself. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and left.

There were only two classmates left who were becoming more and more confused as they listened, staring blankly at Ji Changze's back full of joy.

"Rao Ling, do you understand what he said?"

Zhou Raoling shook his head in confusion: "What about you?"

Wang Zizhi also shook his head.

"I understand every word of what he said, how come I don't understand when they are put together?"

What does it mean to be able to travel with them without taking a carriage?

Doesn't this mean that you can't communicate with them by carriage?

They are all descendants of powerful people. Is it possible that someone can threaten the grandson of the Marquis?

The two of them couldn't figure it out.

But one thing is certain.

"Could it be that Ji Changze didn't interact with us before because someone didn't let him?"

Wang Zizhi was stunned for a while.

"Isn't that why he looks down on us?"

Zhou Raoling raised a soul question: "Why does he look down on us? Although he is from the Hou Mansion, he is just a concubine, and we are the legitimate sons. I heard that there are more than ten concubines in the Hou Mansion, so we should be better than him. "

In the past, classmates were unhappy that Ji Changze was so unwilling to get close to them even though he was just a bastard.

It would be fine if this was really some kind of prince or noble.

But the Hou Mansion is no longer what it used to be, Ji Changze is just a concubine, he himself is not very strong, and his mother's family is not an official family.

Why does he look down on them?

The resentment I once felt has now become evidence.

"Yes, he had no reason to look down on us before. We are much better than him."

so……

Ji Changze had never interacted with them before. Could it be that someone really forced him?

But even if he is a bastard, he is still a bastard of the Hou Mansion. Who can force him?

When the two of them followed the clues given by Ji Changze, Ji Changze was walking back with the book.

The original owner really looked down upon his classmates in school. The reason he looked down on his classmates was not because he was so good, but because he wanted to be classmates with better people.

The powerful are also divided into different levels. Those who are truly capable and well-connected are all in the Imperial College.

For example, Ji Changyan, as the eldest grandson of the Hou family, was admitted to the Imperial Academy at that time. He was a gentle man and made many friends. Although those friends had not yet entered the court, their families were either rich or noble.

The original owner was very covetous of his eldest brother's connections, and he looked forward to the stars and the moon and wanted to imitate him. As a result, there was only one quota for the Imperial College per family. If his eldest brother left, he would not be able to go.

If the old marquis or Mr. Ji thought of ways to open up the door, it would not be impossible to find a way to send him in, but Mr. Ji has a lot of bastards, and even if he is raised by Mrs. Ji, he is not worth such a large proportion to the two of them. Go to the trouble of paving the way for him.

As a result, the original owner felt a lot more unwilling to accept it.

He didn't want to associate with these "unpopular" classmates, and felt that they didn't count as well-connected. After all, no matter where he was, the only ones who could speak were the eldest sons, and these students who were sent to the academy were not the legitimate eldest sons.

Otherwise, there would be no place for him in the Imperial College.

As time passed, he became the most disliked person in the Imperial College.

Everyone is a noble young master at home, who is willing to have a hot face but a cold butt.

After recalling the confused expressions on Wang Zizhi's and Wang Zizhi's faces just now, Ji Changze estimated that within three days, the fact that he had hidden agenda for not communicating with his classmates would spread throughout the college.

After all, these two are famous gossip kings in the academy.

Sure enough, when Ji Changze came to the academy the next day, many students looked at him overtly and covertly, and some came over to say hello to him. After receiving his enthusiastic response, his face first showed a look of seeing a ghost, and then... He looked like, "So what they said is true."

Throughout the morning, at least a dozen students came to greet Ji Changze.

Ji Changze communicated with them very intimately, as if his previous depressive and unsociable appearance was their delusion.

Even the most outrageous thing is that after the test, Ji Changze was directly at the top of the list.

You must know that he was barely in the middle class before.

These classmates were all shameless. No one directly said that they suspected Ji Changze of cheating. Instead, they approached him tentatively and asked about the content of the test. As a result, Ji Changze answered fluently and even caught the other party talking about classics and meanings for a long time. .

The poor student felt dizzy and dizzy when he came back. He took a long time to calm down before saying, "He is definitely not cheating. What he just told me is much more difficult than the previous exams."

"That's strange. Isn't he always bad at studying?"

"It doesn't matter. Didn't he reach the top of the list before? He suddenly fell down. The main thing is to understand why he has changed so much. He smiled at me before, and I almost thought I hadn't woken up yet."

"What's going on? I heard that he was threatened and refused to join us, so he avoided us before."

"Who is so arrogant under the emperor's feet that he dares to control even the students of our academy?"

Wang Zizhi squeezed into the middle of the discussion students and looked around to see that no one was paying attention to them (in fact, they were all secretly eavesdropping). She lowered her voice and said to them with an attitude of "I have a big gossip":

"I found out from my third aunt's mother-in-law's nephew's father-in-law and grandson that every time Ji Changze did well in the exam, his father would find excuses to reprimand him. If things go on like this, Ji Changze will slowly get worse. "

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The teenagers who were pretending to eavesdrop stopped pretending and crowded forward one after another: "Really or not? Why did his father do this? If Ji Changze becomes successful, it will be a blessing on his face."

"Maybe it's for the legitimate son? If the bastard is better than the legitimate son, it doesn't make sense."

Wang Zizhi looked like "you are all too outdated": "It's not for the legitimate son. I heard that the eldest grandson of the Hou family is like this, and he is often reprimanded."

"Zizhi, where did you get this information? Is it unreliable? Why does this sound so mysterious to me?"

Wang Zizhi curled his lips: "You still don't believe me? That was revealed by the servants serving in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion. If I hadn't been well-connected, these crooks wouldn't have been able to find out."

"And Ji Changze said before that his father wouldn't let him ride in the car. If he really cared about his son, why wouldn't he be allowed to ride in the weather like this?"

Everyone looked in a daze.

When he went back, he looked at Ji Changze who was reading a book seriously, and was surprised and confused.

Could it be that they really misunderstood Ji Changze?

Isn't it that Ji Changze is arrogant and has poor knowledge, but is he forced to do this out of filial piety?

But... why?

Ji Changze listened quietly, pretending not to feel that the people around him were peeking at him, and worked diligently to be a good student and copy notes.

When they went back, the students who did well in the exam took their test scores and planned to go back to claim credit, while the students who did not do well in the exam secretly hid and tried to pretend that the incident never happened.

Zhou Raoling was burying his head in hiding when Huan suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Ji Changze was also hiding.

He is at the top of the list!

"Ji Changze, why don't you take these back and show them to your family?"

After saying that, I saw the expression on the face of the young boy next to me flustered for a moment, and he smiled awkwardly: "No need, I'll take it back. It feels like showing off."

how could be?

Who doesn't know that the eldest brother of Ji Changze's family was famous as a talented person when he was in the Imperial College. Among the concubine brothers, all of them had very good grades after entering school. How could it be considered as showing off?

Zhou Raoling asked his question.

The smile on Ji Changze's face became more and more forced, and he lowered his head as if he was disappointed, and whispered: "My father... was not very knowledgeable when he entered school. If he saw it, he would feel uncomfortable."

Zhou Raoling: "..."

Ji Changze looked around and begged Zhou Raoling in a low voice: "Don't tell anyone else about this. My father wants to lose face."

Zhou Raoling: "..."

He forced his voice out of his throat with difficulty: "So before... your father also didn't let you associate with us??"

Ji Changze sighed: "When my father entered school... his relationship with his classmates was not very good."

"My grandfather found out about this a while ago, so I can breathe a sigh of relief, but I still can't keep it too high-profile."

Zhou Raoling: "..."

No wonder.

No wonder.

When the father disciplines the son, can the son still refute it?

Everything that was unreasonable became reasonable with such a father.

Ji Changze saw the expression on Zhou Raoling's face changing and whispered: "Anyway, you must not tell others. After all, that is my father, and I can't say anything about him."

Zhou Raoling immediately raised his head and looked at Ji Changze with a look filled with sympathy and hesitation.

He patted the poor classmate on the shoulder who was actually envied by his biological father, with sympathy written all over his face: "Don't worry, I promise to keep it secret. This is a secret between the two of us."

Seeing Ji Changze smile gratefully at him, he sympathized with this classmate even more.

Why didn't I realize that Ji Changze was so pitiful before?

"Brother, if anything happens in the future, you can tell me."

Ji Changze nodded and warned again: "You must never tell others, I don't want them to sympathize with me."

"Don't worry." Zhou Raoling patted his mouth: "I will never tell others the little secret between us."

Ji Changze, who carefully selected a loudmouth, left humming a song in a good mood.

At this moment, Zhou Raoling really wanted to keep the secret for this poor classmate.

But after holding in the incense for about a while, he couldn't help it anymore.

"Zizhi, let me tell you something, but you must never tell anyone else."

Zhou Raoling smacked his lips.

Zizhi's surname is Wang, and he doesn't have any other surname or name.
