Xiao Liulang took the note and looked at it, only to see several big words written with a charcoal pen on it—— YOUR, BOOK, IS, UPSIDE, DOWN!
He then remembered the meaningful look in her eyes when she left the note, making his cheeks turn hot again...
During dinner, the perceptive Yao shi and Gu Yan both noticed that Xiao Liulang was feigning calmness. Only the simpleton Gu Xiaoshun opened his mouth after staring at Xiao Liulang foolishly for a long time, asking, "Brother-in-law, why is your face red?"
Talked about touching a sore spot.
Xiao Liulang said unflinchingly, "It’s hot."
"Oh." Gu Xiaoshun nodded. "It's quite hot indeed."
Yao shi pursed her lips and sniggered.
Gu Xiaoshun wanted to ask something else, but Gu Yan shoved a drumstick into his mouth, "Eat your food!"
"Oomph~" Gu Xiaoshun's mouth suddenly got occupied and he forgot what he was going to ask.
After dinner, under the strong oppression of his bad brother-in-law, Little Jing Kong had no choice but to confess his great feat of shaving half of his class.
"The first one he shaved was Chu Yu." Xiao Liulang’s amazing follow up.
Little Jing Kong didn’t know that Chu Yu's surname was Qin, and that he was an imperial prince, but Gu Jiao did.
Gu Jiao: Oh, he even dared to shave an imperial prince?
Xiao Liulang: ...What's with that expression? How come you still seem to appreciate it! Someone must have contributed a lot to the bold upbringing of this child.
Receiving a death stare from Xiao Liulang, Gu Jiao blinked her eyes and silently swallowed the praise that their family’s child was really capable, daring, and have strong hands-on ability, and solemnly said to Little Jing Kong, "Don't bring a razor to Imperial Academy in the future. We can't shave people's heads for free."
Xiao Liulang：“…”
Little Jing Kong's giving tonsure to half of the class caused an uproar in the Imperial Academy, but what about at the palace?
When Qin Chuyu walked out of the Imperial Academy with a round, peeled boiled egg of a head, the eunuch who came to pick him up was scared silly on the spot.
Unaware that he had done something earth-shattering, he got into the carriage to return to the palace and waited with great anticipation for himself to wake up smart.
To be honest, according to Qin Chuyu's ability alone, it was impossible for him to get into the elite class. It was all thanks to the Crown Princess who got him in through the backdoor. It was just that it led to a very awkward situation for Qin Chuyu—— he was the worst student in class and was at the bottom of every exam.
The teacher knew his identity, and though he dared not speak ill of him, Qin Chuyu was an eight year old, mature little man, who also wanted to save face.
His desire to be smart was stronger than anyone else's, so he decisively grabbed the first spot for receiving tonsure.
He headed to Empress Xiao's Kunning Palace with a little bald head.
"Imperial mother!"
Empress Xiao was selecting materials from among the newly arrived tribute. When she heard his call, she turned around with a smile only to faint on the spot.
Immediately after that, the Emperor was alarmed.
After a while, the whole harem learned of Qin Chuyu's tonsure.
Imperial Consort Zhuang even sent someone to ask whether the Seventh Prince was going to become a monk.
The Emperor’s face was full of fury as he asked Qin Chuyu, "Who shaved it?!”
Shaving an imperial prince’s head, utterly outrageous!
Qin Chuyu thought it was a good thing since he was about to get smart soon, hence he didn't hide anything, "Jing Kong shaved it!"
"Who?" The Emperor was taken aback.
"Jing Kong." Qin Chuyu said, "Father, you've met him before, have you forgotten?"
Little miracle physician's little brother?
In an instant, the rage filling the Emperor’s heart just now failed to come out, "He, why did he shave your hair?"
Qin Chuyu answered, "I told him to shave it. I want to be as smart as him!"
Then Qin Chuyu told the Emperor the ins and outs of the incident. His tone was so confident, believing that he would soon become smart!
The Emperor clenched his fists as the corner of his mouth twitched.
This stupid boy!
Would the cow know how to read by swallowing books? Was that how it worked?
In the end, Qin Chuyu had the privilege of eating his father's wrath.
It hurts, wu~!
The Emperor punished Qin Chuyu behind closed doors, but the reason the Emperor used wasn’t at all connected to his head being shaved, but that when the Emperor did a spot check on his homework, he wasn’t able to answer.
The parents of the other little peeled boiled eggs, especially those who were court officials, waited for the Emperor's statement. As a result, they never heard the Emperor say anything, so they also had to give up asking for an explanation.
Strictly speaking, it was true that the little guy couldn’t be blamed. After all, it did not seem he did it deliberately.
Besides, even if they say he really did it on purpose, it was a bunch of six to eight-year-olds that were fooled by a 4-year-old. Could they still have the face to find trouble with the other party?
Wasn’t it all due to their own stupidness?
From the initial shock, anger, humiliation, everyone gradually calmed down later, and then they found one thing——
That was, their child's head was shaved really clean!
Not even an extra stubble could be seen!
This was the work of a professional!
"My youngest son is going to be a month old soon, and I’ve been planning to find someone to shave my baby’s hair."
"I have a two-year-old nephew who wants to have his head shaved as well, but I can't find a suitable person to do it. The work of the previous one wasn’t clean at all."
"Same with the one my family invited before, he even injured my family’s child!"
One after another, people brought their children to the Imperial Academy, looking at one another with understanding.
However, in the end, it was still better for this kind of thing to just remain a thought. After all, how could they really invite a little doll to their home to shave someone's head?
"I don't think this is appropriate."
"I think so too."
"Then... Shall we leave?"
"Let’s go!"
Let's go your ass!
Don't crouch down and wait for that boy here if you could!
Early the next morning, Little Jing Kong valiantly came to the Imperial Academy to attend school, as a result, he received a wave of fervent and greedy gazes.
He had no idea what was going on.
Xiao Liulang let Little Jing Kong go in first.
The crowd rushed up and surrounded Xiao Liulang.
Xiao Liulang thought that this crowd was here to demand an explanation from him. He was ready to be denounced by thousands of people, but when everyone opened their mouths, he heard them say instead, "Is it convenient for your little brother to make a trip to my house to shave someone’s head?"
Xiao Liulang：“…”
Of course Xiao Liulang wouldn’t agree.
What a joke? This boy already owned three big courtyard houses in the capital, and he was earning thirty taels of silver a month from renting the house in Bishui Alley. If he allowed him to develop a shaving business on top of that, would he, as his brother-in-law, still have a financial status to speak of in the family?
Therefore, Little Jing Kong didn't know that his shaving career was ruthlessly strangled by his bad brother-in-law.Raz P.'s Thoughts
