Chapter 123 The Prince Arrives at School
The little prince Xuanyuan Ruize also arrived at the school gate, and saw a beautifully decorated carriage slowly stopping at the school gate.
"Your Highness, we're here." Xiao Dezi jumped off the carriage and said respectfully to the people inside.
After hearing the sound, Xuanyuan Ruize poked his head out of the carriage and looked around curiously.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the school. Let me tell you, Xiao Dezi, you should also come to study for a year." Xuanyuan Ruize said as he jumped off the carriage.
"Your Highness, Xiao Dezi just wants to stay by your side." Xiao Dezi hurriedly followed behind with a flattering smile on his face, and said in a flattering manner.
Xiao Dezi had no interest in studying since he was young. Although he had studied hard for several years in order to stay with the little prince, it is now harder than climbing to the sky for him to return to school.
"Look at you, you are such a loser." Xuanyuan Ruize shook his head helplessly and sighed inwardly. He sincerely hoped that Xiao Dezi could pursue what he really loved, but this silly boy was unwilling to leave his side.
"Hehe... Your Highness, please don't say that! How can this be called a failure? Some people struggle their whole lives but cannot reach my current position!" Xiao Dezi really thought so in his heart. Being able to serve His Highness the Crown Prince is not something that anyone can do. It was only thanks to the appreciation of the Queen when he was a child that he had the opportunity to serve the Crown Prince. As long as he did not make a big mistake and followed the Crown Prince loyally, he could spend the rest of his life in peace, honor and dignity.
"Stop! Outsiders are not allowed to enter the school at will during class time." Just as the prince and Xiao Dezi were about to enter the school, they were stopped by the gatekeeper.
"Grandpa, let's go in and find Teacher Qi Xian." Xiao Dezi had been to the school before, so he naturally knew the rules set by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he didn't expect that the guard didn't even know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"That won't work either. Let's talk about it after class." The gatekeeper firmly rejected their request.
Xiao Dezi glanced at Xuanyuan Ruize, who seemed to be smiling, and immediately felt confident, so he said arrogantly: "I say, old man, what's the matter with you? Don't you know who is in front of you? He is..."
However, before Xiao Dezi could finish his words, Xuanyuan Ruize interrupted him.
"Xiao Dezi." Xuanyuan Ruize's voice was calm and powerful.
"Sir, look at him..." Xiao Dezi said aggrievedly, feeling very aggrieved. He was a man close to the Crown Prince, how could he have ever been blocked and wronged like this? Even in the palace, everyone was polite to him, but he was rejected by this stubborn old man.
"Hmph... Look how polite that young master is, and then look at you!" The old man snorted unhappily.
"No outsiders are allowed to enter during class, but you insisted on breaking in."
Xuanyuan Ruize also saw the old man's serious attitude and knew that he couldn't get in now. So he quickly comforted Xiao Dezi: "Okay, Xiao Dezi, don't be angry, let's wait here."
The old man nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "Young Master, you are sensible. Come on, come on, come in and sit for a while. There is still half an hour before the get out of class ends!"
After that, the old man warmly invited Xuanyuan Ruize to rest in the guardhouse for a while. The little prince followed him in, leaving Xiao Dezi standing there alone, sulking.
Although Xiao Dezi was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to follow in. After sitting down, Xuanyuan Ruize started chatting with the old man. He found that the old man was not as serious as he seemed, but very amiable.
"My dear young master, it's not that I'm unreasonable. This is the school rule. It was stipulated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Students are not allowed to be disturbed by outsiders during class. No one is allowed to come," the old man explained to Xuanyuan Ruize. He liked the young man in front of him very much. He looked about the same age as his own grandson.
Thinking of his grandson, the old man works harder. His grandson is also attending school now. He never thought that even though several generations of his family had not been able to do it, he could still do something for his children when he is old.
The thing is, the little prince happened to think of a security guard at his school, so he planned to set up a security guard room in his own school.
Originally, Situ Junwen was planning to find several strong and martial arts-skilled people to serve as the school's gatekeepers, but this idea was rejected by Xuanyuan Ruize. In addition to restoring the atmosphere of a modern school, the more important reason was to make the school closer to people's lives.
The gate guards need to be down-to-earth so that ordinary families who want to send their children to school dare to approach them. If the school gate is guarded by a group of strong men, I am afraid that ordinary families will be deterred.
However, it is not easy to find the right person. Previously, they posted a recruitment notice at the school gate, but most people were illiterate and could not understand the content; and those who could understand it often did not meet the recruitment requirements.
By chance, Mr. Zhang passed by the school and became interested in the lively scene here. When he heard two scholars discussing the content of the notice, he paid special attention to the information about the recruitment of security guards. Although they mainly talked about the school's course schedule, the topic of finding a security guard was only mentioned casually.
Mr. Zhang took this matter to heart and found Situ Junwen with the mentality of giving it a try. He was even prepared to be laughed at, but he never expected that he would be hired directly.
What surprised him the most was that since he became a school staff member, he not only received a considerable salary every month, but his grandson also received a free admission! This unexpected surprise made him feel grateful and proud of this job, and he became more serious and responsible about his work as a security guard.
Now, he has become the most envied person in the village. Every time he goes home on vacation, the villagers will surround him enthusiastically and eagerly ask about various information about the school, including when it will recruit students, what conditions need to be met for admission, etc.
Whenever there is new news, he will always find a reliable person to pass the information back to the village and tell the village chief. He sincerely hopes that the children in the village can have the opportunity to receive education, because only by changing their destiny through knowledge can they have a better future.
This period of time can be said to be the most glorious moment in Mr. Zhang’s life.
After learning the whole story, Xuanyuan Ruize smiled and nodded, expressing his understanding and agreement. After all, the original intention of establishing this school was to give children from poor families a chance to succeed.
The two chatted happily and time passed by unknowingly.
Soon, the bell for the end of get out of class rang, clear and pleasant. Xuanyuan Ruize thanked Mr. Zhang and walked into the school with Xiao Dezi. They went straight to the teacher's office and found the seat of the fifth prince.
Looking at the Fifth Prince who was preparing for class seriously, Xuanyuan Ruize's mouth curled up slightly: "Fifth brother, it seems that you are very happy with your work! You are reluctant to go back to the palace."
When the Fifth Prince heard the voice, he looked up at Xuanyuan Ruize and said with a smile, "I think it's interesting to teach here. It's a pleasure to pass on what I've learned to students and let them gain something. Besides, I don't want to go back to the palace now. The atmosphere there is too depressing."
