Chapter 51 Contradiction
It was a perfectly normal statement, but it had a weird undertone to it.
Baili Yanqing just picked up another piece of fish, put it in the bowl to pick out the bones, and said calmly: "Chenyu is my wife, I treat her well, it's my duty."
The old lady pursed her lips and said, "Princess, my grandson is so good to you, you should help the Baili family more."
Su Chenyu put down her chopsticks and looked at the old lady: "What does the old lady mean by this?"
"Princess, Yu'er wants to enter the Imperial College. But at Yu'er's age, he is not old enough to pass the examination. I heard that if someone from the royal family recommends him, Yu'er can enter the Imperial College without passing the examination or asking about his age."
In Dayu, if you want to be an official, there are basically only two ways to go: one is to take the imperial examination, and the other is to enter the Imperial College.
The imperial examinations took a long time and were very competitive, so it was the first choice for students from poor families. Those who could enter the Imperial Academy were basically the sons of officials, and few students from poor families could enter the Imperial Academy.
However, the Imperial Academy had strict admissions examinations, and candidates must not be over 20 years old.
Baili Yu had the age to qualify before, but he had never passed the assessment. Now that he is over the age limit, the old lady still refuses to give up and has set her sights on Su Chenyu.
Seeing that Su Chenyu did not answer, the old lady continued, "Before, Yu'er was still under the age of twenty, and I did not think of this matter. When I thought of it, he was too old. There was nothing I could do. The genius came forward to ask the princess to help him."
Su Chenyu sneered, "Madam, do you think this princess is a fool? Baili Yu took the exam from his teens to his 20s, a full seven years, and he took it seven times, but he didn't pass once. If he really entered the Imperial College with such qualifications, he would be laughed at."
As soon as he finished speaking, not only the old lady, but even the Baili Ting couple looked unhappy.
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing ate as usual, as if they hadn't noticed anything.
The old lady looked at Baili Yanqing and said, "Yanqing, don't you want to say something?"
"What is there to say?" Baili Yanqing paused, "What Chenyu said is all true. Baili Yu doesn't have the qualifications, so don't go and make others laugh at you."
"Yan Qing, Yu'er is your brother after all, is that how you say that to him?" The old lady got even angrier when she saw him like this. Like Baili Yuan, she was extremely stubborn. "As long as the princess can let Yu'er enter the Imperial College this time, we will not say a word about Beiyuan's affairs in the future."
The old lady felt that she had already given in, and Baili Yanqing had no reason to disagree.
Baili Yanqing's tone was still indifferent: "Old Madam, have you forgotten? The entire Zhenguo Mansion belongs to my father. My father let the second house live in the mansion out of kindness. It's not nice to say that. Let alone Beiyuan, you don't even have the right to manage the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion."
The old lady slammed her chopsticks down on the table: "Bai Li Yanqing, have all your filial piety been fed to the dog's stomach?"
In the past, he could tolerate no matter how the old lady treated Baili Yanqing, after all, she was his elder, but he could not tolerate the old lady bossing Su Chenyu around.
Su Chenyu held Baili Yanqing's wrist, signaling him not to speak, and then looked at Baili Yu: "Baili Yu, what do you think filial piety is?"
Baili Yu said in confusion: "Filial piety means obeying elders and not disobeying them."
Su Chenyu looked at the silent Baili Qiuhong again and said, "Mr. Baili, why don't you tell me what filial piety is?"
