Chapter 30 – How should this ‘dog’ be handled?

Hao Lan Academy is a five-story building, which is not considered as a tall building in modern times, however in the ancient Nanyue Country, it is indeed as if its existence is of a skyscraper.

The whole building is made of wood with the original wood color, all the columns are painted red, the roof tiles are really made with golden glass tiles matched with an unique shape, the whole entire building gives off a great force of impact to people.

“Let’s go, let’s go see.” Gu Qianxue did not even think and walked towards Hao Lan Academy.

Yu Lian and Yu Cui both naturally also followed.

Hap Lan Academy’s front entrance is a very majestic and magnificent sight, the plaque board gilded with four large characters, “Hao Lan Tian Xia (Hao Lan World),” it is said that it was the founding emperor of the Nanyue Country that personally inscribed, however there are not too many people visiting.

“Miss, if you said Hao Lan Academy is so amazing, why are there so few guests?” Nearing the front entrance, Yu Cui could not help but ask.

Gu Qianxue looked back at Yu Cui and mysteriously smiled a bit, “Don’t worry, in a moment you will then know.”

The three people have not yet entered the front entrance, very quickly a book boy wearing Hao Lan Academy’s sky blue uniform came forward to greet, the book boy saw the coming Gu Qianxue and stared blankly, very quickly, his eyes then flashed disdain.

“It’s Miss Gu-ah, I don’t know why Miss Gu came, for what sort of matter?” The book boy’s tone was not very polite.

Yu Lian was very puzzled, “Miss, do they know you?”

Gu Qianxue only felt she herself is more wronged than that good hole, she bitterly smiled and nodded.

The book boy sneered and rushed to say, “Yes- ah, Miss Gu is indeed our Hao Lan Academy’s regular guest, do not know if Miss Gu came again today is to see which son?”

Yu Lian suddenly got angry, “What did you just say? Looking down upon others low of the thing, why would our Miss come to this broken academy, plus, what kind of son is worth our Miss to personally come see? Our Miss is however the future Crown Princess, this is indeed something that everyone knows.”

This is the first time Gu Qianxue witnessed Yu Lian quarrel, and had to say, it is powerful, letting her be unable to resist giving her a thumbs up giving Yu Lian a like (ref to Facebook). “Yu Lian such a good person, this kind of looking down upon others low of a thing should be precisely scolded just like that, however Yu Lian – ah, Miss, I, previously had really visited regularly, that year, you two at that time did not serve me.”

“… …” Yu Lian.

Book boy upon seeing this, rudely sneered at Yu Lian, “I say this young lady, next time when you serve someone first ask around about what sort of goods is your master that you are serving, don’t mistake a fish as a pearl.”

“You!” Yu Lian was angered to the point her whole face was reddened, however she also did not know how to refute him.

Gu Qianxue smiled coldly, gave a look to the book boy, raising her volume. “This son is indeed the boss of Hao Lan Academy?”

Gu Qianxue and her people stood at the entrance for quite some time, in addition to her just raising her voice, attracted many coming and going scholars.

Hao Lan Academy is mostly all regular visitors, in addition to the previous Gu Qianxue who indeed came often, so most people all recognize Gu Qianxue, one by one all looked at her, all of them bringing many looks of contempt and despise.

That book boy was puzzled, “Miss Gu shouldn’t be stupid now? Just look at the clothes that I am wearing, surely could not be the owner ah? Plus, our owner is what kind of person, how can I be compared?”

Gu Qianxue raised her eyebrows, “You are not the Academy’s owner? Ah, but your position can be compared as big as your owner’s. As the proverb says well, a dog that bites people will not bark, the dog that barks will not bite people. Exactly which kind are you?”

“I… …: The book boy almost got coiled in, flustered and exasperated, “You are the dog.”

Gu Qianxue’s smile suddenly vanished, coldly looking towards the inside of the place, “Where is Hao Lan’s shopkeeper? You book boys to display such atrocious behaviors, first speaking rudely to guests, and followed with unquestionably cursing the guest as a dog, are there still any customer service? Under the feet of the Emperor, the Academy unexpectedly savage in this one, don’t tell me there are no laws anymore?”

Gu Qianxue’s voice was very loud, more and more people were attracted over.

Not a moment later, the Academy’s shopkeeper came out, the shopkeeper is the owner’s family slave, following the owner’s last name Su, he is below fifty years old, his height isn’t too tall, slightly fat, his appearance looks kind.

As soon as the Shopkeeper Sucame out, the book boys hurriedly saluted and paid respects.

When Shopkeeper Su saw Gu Qianxue, the bottom of his eyes were full of disdain, however he indeed is experienced and knowledgeable, definitely has experience, with a kind smile, very cleverly covered up his disdain.

“It’s Miss Gu ah, today is it to come see… … books?” Su Shopkeeper implied.

Gu Qianxue knew Shopkeeper Su also looked down on her, but also bitterly did not have any other way, who let her pick up after benzun’s mess? That’s all, anyways she also did not care about these false reputations.

Thinking till here, Gu Qianxue spoke, “Yes, today I came thinking of finding medical books, Qianxue understands Shopkeeper Su is a person with great erudition and scholar, in a moment I would also like to trouble shopkeeper help pick one or two.”

Shopkeeper Su stared blankly, don’t say Shopkeeper Su, now all the book boys also found today’s Gu Qianxue is different.

In the past, Elder Young Miss Gu, her eyes were higher than the top, her stomach had no ink not to say, still pretended she was smart, when she spoke it was incoherent and disorderly, clearly was ignored by everyone, and lastly she believed everyone should all fawn over her to get favors. Everytime she comes to the Academy, her intentions are all for seducing men, she would gorgeously dress herself, her entire body is sprayed with perfume that is able to fumigate the entire floor, assailing the nostrils of everyone’s to death.

For this reason, don’t say Hao Lan Academy’s bookboys, just even guests also were very disgusted with her.

Of course, everyone all thought benzun came to seduce men, however did not know her previous intention was to fool around with the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince would wear plain clothes to go incognito to come to Hao Lan Academy, naturally also will not reveal his own identity.

Today’s Gu Qianxue is wearing an orange petal-patterned leaning on the lapels, the veined patterns on the open slits of the light overwear, a curved full length and jeweled silk dress traced with a green butterfly, dressed with a white red-crowned crane lined with cotton. On her hands with such-like creamy skin she wore a gold-encrusted jewel silk bracelet, on her waist tied a dark blue girdle, slender and elegant, a sweet, fair and graceful figure.

Matched with clear eyes, an exquisite nose, a small mouth like a cherry, as well as her soft black hair that was like a waterfall, drawing people to look at her.

Shopkeeper Su looked at the smiling Gu Qianxue, listening to her soft and modest words, has already forgotten the former Gu Qianxue’s appearance.

“Medical books? Why did Miss Gu suddenly want to look at medical books?” Shopkeeper Su just finished speaking, but then felt he himself was too rude, as a businessman, how can one meddle with the likings of their guests?

Gu Qianxue however did not yet show the slightest anger, her sweet voice instead was even more gentler, “Yes it is like this, a friend’s mother is sick, I wanted to flip through some books and understand the next symptom of the illness.”

Shopkeeper Su knew he should not have asked, however still could not resist being curious, “Miss Gu is really warm-hearted, however there are many famous doctors in the capital, to invite a Great Doctor to treat is that not good enough?”

Gu Qianxue, still a tolerating character explained, “Famous doctors naturally will be invited, however to understand the illness of the elder, is that not more sincere?”

Shopkeeper Su was surprised, why the former famous idiot Miss has now suddenly changed like the sky and earth turned upside down? Although in his heart there is more curiosity, however he naturally knows he could not continue to ask again, or else the one who does not understand the rules is then not Miss Gu but instead him, this old man.

“Okay, Miss Gu, this way please.” Shopkeeper Su smiled and extended his hand.

Unexpectedly, just before the Gu Qianxue that was gentle as water however changed her face expression, the bright face was full of fierceness. “Wait a moment, Qianxue still has a matter to trouble Shopkeeper Su, this bookboy little brother called that I am a dog, how should this matter be handled?”
