The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134: 105 Local Tycoon (Second Update)

Gu Jiao worked through the night to make a book bag for Gu Yan.

At the crack of dawn the next day, Gu Yan was bundled up by his own sister and sent off on Luo Dazhuang’s ox cart.

Xiao Liulang asked Gu Xiaoshun to ask for two hours off from the academy for him, and he himself accompanied Gu Jiao in sending Gu Yan and Xiao Jingkong to the private school.

Xiao Liulang paid the silver for the admission procedures.

Xiao Jingkong asked Gu Yan, who was waiting in the corridor, “Which class do you think you will be in?”

Gu Yan grumbled, his face cold: “Just not in the same class as you!”

Xiao Jingkong was studying basic education, and Gu Yan, who was already fourteen, of course, cannot join the same class.

He was assigned to a class taught by Teacher Chang, where all of his classmates were about the same age as him and had a basic understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Gu Yan was somewhat satisfied with this class arrangement.

However, before he could get settled, Teacher Chang brought in another new student.

There happened to be an empty seat next to Gu Yan, and Teacher Chang had the new student sit there.

Gu Yan, seeing the little monk sitting next to him, his eyes widening: “How…how did you end up in this class?”

Xiao Jingkong spread his hands: “I skipped a grade!”

Gu Yan: “….”

Is that even possible?!

—

A life of trials and tribulations began for Gu Yan. He wouldn’t lose to a little monk, especially a monk who competed for favor against him. If the monk could skip grades, so could he!

Humph! _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

Gu Yan, who had always been just muddling through, started to take things seriously for the first time.

The two bodyguards were mystified.

Assigned to the young master years ago by Old Lord Gu, they had a clear understanding of the young master’s personality. But why had the young master changed so much since he acknowledged his sister?

Can you believe that he even started studying?

Following the completion of her topographic map, Gu Jiao started planning the open-field cultivation work. Where to plant medicinal herbs, where to farm crops, where to construct a little pond – everything was marked on the map.

The mountain could be accessed from behind Uncle Luo’s house. It’s shaped like a small undulating mountain range consisting of a large peak and four smaller peaks. There’s an empty plot of land conveniently located halfway up the slope of the first minor peak.

What to do with this empty plot?
