Chapter 18 Brother Ming, Let’s Go to the School
Another four seasons have passed.
Before he knew it, Xu Ming was already five years old.
Xu Ming didn’t know how much strength he had now, mainly because there was no suitable reference object in the Xu Mansion.
Xu Ming tried to move the thousand-jin stone lion at the gate of Xu Mansion, but he couldn't move it.
In Xu Ming's dantian, the small sapling has grown two centimeters taller than it was a year ago.
As for the current level of his spiritual roots, Xu Ming didn't know either.
But Xu Ming felt that his qualifications were still very poor.
But it’s not a big problem. Just take it slow. After all, I’m only five years old.
After Xu Xuenuo left, Xu Ming never saw Wang Feng, the eldest lady of the Xu family, again.
However, Xu Ming heard from Chunyan that at a family dinner, the concubine Mrs. Qian sat in the seat of the main wife. When Wang Feng came, Mrs. Qian sat up with an "ah" and said, "Look how stupid I am. I actually sat in my sister's seat."
Although this was just a small matter, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two concubines were challenging the authority of the main wife by relying on their sons to gain status.
As for whether they would be afraid of Xu Xuenuo returning from his studies.
They are not worried at all.
Xu Xuenuo has already been removed from the family tree and has no relationship with the Xu family at all. He is only focused on finding the sword.
And what’s the point even if she comes back?
Are you going to kill me just because I "accidentally" took your mother's seat? However, Madam Qian and Madam Lin could only disgust Wang Feng a little bit. They didn't dare to do anything excessive.
To be honest, Xu Ming felt that the system of Wu State was quite weird.
The status of the concubine's children is equal to that of the principal wife.
The status of a concubine's children is only slightly higher than that of a servant.
Xu Ming heard that it was not like this when the Wu State was founded, but it was only like this one hundred and fifty years ago. The etiquette system established by the previous emperor has continued to this day.
As for what happened one hundred and fifty years ago and why the late emperor established such a ritual system, Xu Ming had no idea.
Xu Ming didn't want to care about those things.
Every day Xu Ming develops himself well, practicing both physical and magical skills.
Every day Qin Qingwan would come to Xu Ming to read the "Tianxuan Heart Method" for half an hour. The rest of the time Xu Ming would start exercising whenever he had time. When his mother was around, Xu Ming would walk and jump around.
When his mother was not around, Xu Ming started doing push-ups, sit-ups, and moving stones in the yard.
Chen Suya suspected that her son had ADHD, so she asked a doctor to see Xu Ming. The doctor said that Xu Ming had excessive blood and energy with nowhere to vent it, so he prescribed a prescription for Xu Ming, which was like a herbal tea, and he should drink a cup every day.
But it didn't work.
Chen Suya felt that her child was healthy and had never been sick, so she thought, forget it, let him move around as much as he wants. "Brother Ming, let's go to school~~~"
One day, Qin Qingwan ran in happily, and immediately stopped in front of Xu Ming, looking at Xu Ming with a “Wow, wow, so cool!”
"School?"
Xu Ming, who was doing push-ups, got up from the ground, clapped his hands, and picked off the small leaf from Qin Qingwan's hair.
Although the little girl is only five years old, her chin is already slightly pointed, and her peach blossom eyes are becoming more and more like her mother's, and even clearer. She is a real beauty, the kind that would be difficult to grow ugly.
"Yes, yes~" Qin Qingwan nodded vigorously, "My mother told Qingwan yesterday that Qingwan is old enough to go to school. It just so happens that His Majesty has opened a school, and all the noble children in the imperial city can go there. I heard that the teacher is a very good teacher~"
“This matter.”
Xu Ming also heard his mother talk about this matter when she was chatting with some aunts.
It seems that a scholar from Bailu Academy has returned.
The Bailu Academy seems to be very famous. In the two hundred years since the founding of the Wu Kingdom, only five people have been admitted to the Bailu Academy, and they were all important officials in the court.
This gentleman is the sixth person.
Emperor Wu asked him with a smile what official position he wanted.
The gentleman simply said, "A school, some children, and a teacher."
Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu actually agreed and established the Zhixing Academy.
Then Emperor Wu gave a total of 45 places to all officials, and children aged five to seven could enter the school to study.
As for teaching the children of high-ranking officials, this teacher didn't say anything and never asked about it, as if he was really just responsible for teaching and didn't care who his students were.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Brother Ming, let's go to school together. It must be fun to go to school."
Qin Qingwan held Xu Ming's hand. For the little girl, "going to school" was a very new thing.
It would be more fun to try new things with Brother Ming~ Xu Ming smiled and shook his head: "I probably can't go."
Among the officials, there are many children, and forty-five places are not enough. Many officials tried to use their connections to get their children into the "Zhixing School", but were refused.
As a bastard, I have no right to enter.
"Of course, of course. Qingwan has told mother, and mother said she has already greeted the Imperial Master, so Brother Ming can go." Qin Qingwan held Xu Ming's hand tightly, "Brother Ming, you can go to school with Qingwan."
Looking at Qin Qingwan's expectant look, her peach blossom eyes seemed to be saying, "If Brother Ming refuses, I will cry in front of Brother Ming." Xu Ming didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"My mother told me to go, so I went." Xu Ming finally passed the buck to his mother.
Regardless of whether or not he would go to Zhixing Academy in the end, he would always remember what Madam Qin and Qingwan had done for him.
"Great~" Qin Qingwan jumped up happily, "Qingwan, go find mom and tell her."
Not long after, Qin Qingwan took her mother to Xiaochunyuan and talked about asking Xu Ming to go to Zhixing School to study together.
After a long struggle between Mrs. Qin and Chen Suya, Chen Suya finally gave in, and Xu Ming went to Zhixing Academy with Qin Qingwan three days later.
Hearing that Brother Ming could go to study with her, Qin Qingwan became even happier. She pulled Xu Ming around in circles in the courtyard, and then the Tianxuan Goose also joined in.
Looking at the two children happily playing with a swan in the yard, Mrs. Qin smiled gently.
But gradually, Mrs. Qin's brows furrowed, and worries were lingering on her brows.
"Madam, I have been observing the celestial phenomena at night recently. Some opportunities will appear in the Tianxuan Sect's territory, which will help Qingwan's cultivation. Maybe she won't be nine years old. I will take Qingwan away early next year."
Thinking of what the Imperial Master had said to her, Mrs. Qin looked at her daughter with more and more reluctance in her eyes.
Don't talk about yourself.
When Qingwan and Xu Ming parted, how sadly should she cry? (End of this chapter)
