The night before coming to Pei’s house.

Cui Zhongyuan once worried that Xian'er had a bad sleeping posture and he didn't know whether the Pei family's bed was wide enough.

But in fact, he was completely overthinking it.

Compared with the Cui family’s cramped and stuffy adobe bedroom, the Pei family’s wing rooms are spacious and elegant.

The oil lamp is bright and the bedding is soft.

The maid also thoughtfully lit some sleep-aid incense for Cui Xian.

Have a good night.

At the hour of Mao, the morning light breaks.

The servants and maids of Pei Mansion got up early and started to work.

The young master was still sleeping soundly.

Cui Xian got up early, washed up simply, and then exercised in the yard.

Living his life over again, he deeply understands the importance of having a good body.

Therefore, I maintained the daily morning exercise habit I had when I was at Cui's house.

By the time Cui Xian finished his exercise and had breakfast, it was already bright outside, so the maid went to wake the young master up.

As expected, Pei Jian said he was "sick".

Old Madam Pei rushed over in a rage, and as soon as she entered Pei Jian's courtyard, she couldn't help but start scolding.

You said that I would go to school after I took him over, but you went back on your word. What an idiot!

As a result, before Mrs. Pei could open her mouth.

In the small courtyard, Cui Xian, who already knew the reason, gestured to the old lady to keep quiet.

Madam Pei swallowed her curse and looked at Cui Xian hopefully.

Could this child have a solution?

Under the watchful eyes of Madam Pei and a group of servants.

Cui Xian knocked on the young master's door, his voice full of worry: "Brother, I heard that you are sick?"

In the bedroom.

Pei Jian replied with a guilty conscience: "Yes... yes."

Cui Xian's words came through the door: "Is it serious? Do we need to see a doctor? I've seen a book boy behind a scholar in the county before. He carried a book box and held an umbrella for the scholar. He looked very majestic."

"Today is my first day as a book boy in Pei's house. I have prepared the book box and umbrella for my brother in advance."

"…I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night. I was looking forward to going to school with my brother today."

Hearing this, the maid who lit incense for Cui Xian last night looked strange.

Didn't sleep all night?

If she had not seen with her own eyes that Brother Cui Xian was sleeping soundly, she would have been deceived.

But Pei was convinced.

Although I can't understand what's so majestic about carrying a book box or holding an umbrella for someone.

But hearing the expectation in his younger brother's voice, he couldn't really say no. After a while, he gritted his teeth and got up!

Forget it, even though I’m not outstanding, I’m still a big brother after all.

After a moment.

Crunch——

The bedroom door was pushed open, under the stunned gaze of Madam Pei and all the servants in the courtyard.

Pei Jian came out dressed neatly and said, "I just felt a little uncomfortable when I woke up this morning, but I'm fine now. Where are the bookcase and umbrella you prepared? Take them out and let's go to the school."

This... is it so easy to agree?

Cui Xian cheered and hurriedly prepared: "Okay, big brother!"

Pei Jian couldn't help but smile again.

For the first time in his life, he went to school in a good mood, instead of feeling like "going to school is like going to a grave" every day.

After Cui Xian picked up the small bookcase, held up an oil-paper umbrella, and went out with Pei Jian, chatting and laughing.

Mrs. Pei, who had been stunned for a long time, finally reacted.

She trembled as she used her handkerchief to wipe away the tears in the corners of her eyes, and said, "Quick, write a letter to the master and the uncle, and tell them that our brother Jian is finally willing to study! This child, Xian, is truly a noble person in our Pei Mansion!"

The 'master' and 'uncle' mentioned by the old lady are Pei Jian's grandfather and father respectively.

This father and son were both juren.

The master of the Pei family worked as an aide to the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture.

The eldest master of the Pei family was studying in the prefectural school in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Counting three generations back, the Pei family had an ancestor who was an assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, holding the rank of third grade, a high-ranking official in a red robe.

The joint efforts of seven or eight generations have built the Pei family into a wealthy and well-known family.

Therefore, the Pei family opened their own clan school.

The Pei Clan School is located at the deepest part of Funiu Lane. It is built with its back against the Baihe River and is surrounded by a lush bamboo forest.

Outside the bamboo forest, along the Bai River, is a lush willow tree.

The scenery is elegant and quiet in the bustling city.

Why are the houses in Funiu Lane the most expensive in Nanyang?

The answer is: school district housing!

All male members of the Pei family, when they reach a certain age, can come to the family school for free to receive their first education.

In addition, wealthy gentry in the city can also spend a high price to send their children to the Pei clan school to study.

Being able to send one’s own child to the Pei clan school is a happy event that is enough for parents to brag about for three to five years!

But now, outside Pei’s School.

Pei Jian, however, had a strange look on his face and hesitated to go in.

Behind him, Cui Xian pretended to be puzzled: "Brother?"

Pei Jian coughed lightly, turned his head to look at Cui Xian, and said, "I suddenly feel that I..."

But he had not yet finished saying that he felt he was still sick and not fit to go to school.

A prim middle-aged man who looked to be about forty years old and dressed in a scholar's gown just walked out of the school.

Seeing Pei Jian, the old-fashioned man sneered and said in a sarcastic tone: "Strange, isn't this our great talent Pei? What a rare guest."

Under normal circumstances, Pei Jian would have rolled up his sleeves and had a good fight with this old-fashioned man.

But today...

The younger brother was right behind him, he took a deep breath and endured it!

Cui Xian didn't understand what was going on, and said in a silly voice, "Brother, he praised you as a great talent! You are indeed the most outstanding child prodigy in the school."

The voice was quite loud.
