Chapter 599: Fate Hut
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When they walked into the archway, they could see two huge stone walls. The walls were engraved with dense names.
They were all the names of the students who had become Honorable Scholars in the past hundred years. At a glance, the names were especially shocking.
At this moment, Gu Dajiang finally felt a sense of pride that he was about to enter a famous school that had a history of a hundred years.
He never thought that one day, he would actually come to such an academy with countless scholars to study. He was about to befriend the future pillars of the country. He was extremely excited.
If the Headmaster had known in the netherworld, he would definitely be very happy. When Gu Dajiang was successful in his studies, he would definitely bring this honor and personally kowtow and offer incense to the Headmaster to thank him for his careful nurturing back then.
“Father, go in.” Gu Yundong called him softly. Seeing that he had been standing on the two walls and looking at the names as if he wanted to find the people he had heard of before, she could not help but laugh. “Father’s name will appear on this wall in the future.”
Gu Dajiang was stunned. He turned around and looked at his daughter’s sparkling eyes. He couldn’t help but laugh. “You sure have confidence in me.” “Of course. My father is the best, right?”
Gu Dajiang’s heart surged. Just for his daughter’s words, he had to pass Mountain Elder Qi’s assessment and enter Tianhai Academy. He had to participate in the imperial examination and engrave his name on it.
He raised his head slightly, turned around, and strode towards the door.
The gatekeeper guarding the entrance of the academy had already seen this family, but he did not go forward to ask. In fact, people often came to the Tianhai Academy to admire the names on the stone walls, especially those students who were about to take the examination. It was as if they could pass the exam just by looking at the names. The gatekeeper was already used to it.
It was only when Gu Dajiang’s family walked up the stairs that he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Please inform that I’m here to visit Mountain Elder Qi.”
Mountain Elder Qi? The gatekeeper was stunned when he saw Gu Dajiang take out a visitation card.
This was also given by Qin Wenzheng.
Even the gatekeeper of the Tianhai Academy was literate. Looking at the contents of the visitation card, he suddenly came to a realization. “So it’s Mr. Gu. The mountain elder had previously instructed you to welcome you. Please follow me.”
Gu Yundong and Gu Dajiang looked at each other. Indeed, Qin Wenzheng should have sent a letter to Mountain Elder Qi first.
The family followed the gatekeeper into the academy. They went around the wall of shadows in front of the door and faced a square.
The gatekeeper led them across the square and saw an ancestral hall. In the ancestral hall, there was a statue of Confucius. It looked very solemn.
After passing through the ancestral hall, there was a bridge. Beyond that was the lecture hall.
Gu Yundong could vaguely hear the students reading, but the gatekeeper did not lead them to the lecture hall. Instead, she walked around the long corridor to the right.
This should be the school dormitory. The surroundings were green and quiet, completely different from the strict atmosphere in the lecture hall.
Being in it instantly made one feel good.
“After that bridge is the Fate Hut where the Mountain Elder lives. This is my stop. Please help yourself.”
Gu Yundong looked at the Fate Hut, which was not far away, and thought to herself, “It’s really helping ourselves.”
Gu Dajiang tidied his clothes before carrying Gu Yunke onto the bridge.
Gu Yundong and Madam Yang followed. Xue Rong did not come over and guarded the carriage outside.
They had just reached the entrance of the Fate Hut and before they could say anything, a voice came from inside. “Come in.”
