Chiu Chiu now feels full of energy, and she's about to float away after being showered with compliments.
[Magic mirror on the wall, tell me who is the prettiest little fish in the world?]
Chiu Chiu's inner thoughts became low and somewhat muffled as she deliberately spoke, which drew the attention of the people who were talking with Dean Jian.
【She's such a beautiful, kind, generous, gentle, virtuous, approachable, and gorgeous little chiu chiu!】 Her sweet voice suddenly perked up again.
No one knows where Qiuqiu got her hands on an eight-treasure exquisite mirror, but she was pressing her round little face against it, repeating the words the group of scholars had just used to praise her.
When she got excited, she even kissed the mirror twice.
I am the best in the world!
That's it, they've completely gotten carried away.
Dong Xiao, unfazed, whispered to Yun Jinglan, "Madam, the young lady requested to bring the mirror before leaving the house."
Yun Jinglan understood; it turned out that the other party had been prepared all along!
"Understood. Keep an eye on her and be careful at the academy."
"Yes, ma'am."
The innermost part of Qingyang Academy is the introductory hall, which caters to children from five to ten years old. Su Jingwen and Su Xiucheng were there. However, upon hearing that their parents were coming, they were afraid of being singled out and lectured by the headmaster, so they hid early on.
No matter how hard you try to hide, you can't escape the dean's betrayal.
"Su Jingwen! Su Xiucheng! The dean has come to see you with your family!"
This is like Dean Jian bringing a ghost to arrest you!
Su Xiucheng pulled the note stuck to his face and looked around frantically: "Where am I?"
"We've arrived at Lotus Residence. Just walk through the long corridor and you'll be here."
The people around them started jeering, "Oh, Su Xiucheng, you're finished!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm doomed!"
Su Jingwen: "..."
"The teacher will be back soon. If he sees you take the punishment slip off, you're definitely doomed."
For students who couldn't memorize the texts, the academy would stick white strips on their faces, which could only be removed when they could recite the texts. If the white strips were still on their faces at night, they would be punished by cleaning the classroom.
Su Jingwen glanced at his younger brother's face, which was covered in white discharge; Qiuqiu would definitely laugh at him.
Su Xiucheng hurriedly wet the white strip he had just peeled off and stuck it back on his face. Suddenly, he heard Xue Zheng beside him ask in confusion, "Your face is covered in white strips, won't your parents beat you?"
Xue Zheng looked on with envy, "That's really great!"
His uncle and aunt usually treated him very well, but he would get beaten if he didn't study.
I really envy you!
Su Xiucheng was caught in a dilemma: whether to stick the receipts on or not.
What do you envy about him?
Are you envious that he's about to be mocked by the baby, then beaten by his dad, and then sent to the border as a cook by his mom?
【Hey, it's Fourth Brother!】
She's here, she's here, she's here with a mocking laugh!
[Mother! It's my brother!]
From afar, you could see Chiu Chiu waving her arms. Her figure was a little blurry, but it was easy to tell that she was very excited!
How did she recognize me from such a distance?!
"Brother! Save me!"
Before Su Xiucheng could hide properly, Dean Jian had already arrived with the Su family.
Dean Jian spoke in a loud voice, expressing his sincere gratitude to the family: "Yunyi is exceptionally talented, and his two younger brothers are no less so. Today, with Master Chen on duty, I will introduce you to him."
Su Junyao, his face ashen, forced a stiff smile. He too had attended Qingyang Academy. He knew the rules of the academy; did this pale-faced look make him seem like a good student?
Chuchu: [Fourth Brother is amazing! Everyone else doesn't have anything on their face, but he has so many stripes on his!]
Su Xiucheng: "..."
This compliment only made matters worse!
Dean Jian also noticed Su Xiucheng's pale face. After all, he had been the dean for many years and was very experienced. He simply looked away and pretended not to see him.
The prince just said that the Enlightenment Institute needs to be renovated!
At this time, the brothers came to the rescue. Several children surrounded Su Xiucheng and blocked him firmly. "Hello, Dean!"
Dean Jian chuckled, though his smile was a little stiff.
The topic turned directly to Jiujiu. The big one was not good, but the small one was good.
"Jiujiu is very smart. You can enroll directly in Qingyang Girls' School when it starts recruiting students."
"Qingyang Girls' School?" Su Junyao was a little surprised when Dean Jian mentioned it before he heard the news.
Dean Jian spoke frankly: "His Majesty intends to open a girls' school and is preparing to select some young ladies to enroll. Once Miss Qiuqiu begins her education, she can be admitted directly without taking an exam."
Dean Jian felt he had opened a door of convenience for Qiuqiu, but Qiuqiu felt like her world was about to collapse.
[This white-bearded old man looks so kind and gentle, how could he be so unkind!]
[I gave your student some money, and you actually tried to murder me!]
Is this school so easy to get into? I'm not going! I'll make Chuchu's brother repeat a grade!
Just moments ago, Chiu Chiu was all smiles, but now she wilted instantly, looking at Dean Jian with a pitiful expression. [Anyway, Chiu Chiu's brother isn't good at studying either!]
Su Xiucheng: I felt like a knife was stuck in my heart!
Faced with Jiujiu who was so unwilling to study, Su Junyao and Yun Jinglan naturally accepted Dean Jian's invitation.
"Thank you, Dean Jian. When Qiuqiu reaches the age for early education... mmm!"
At this point, Qiuqiu didn't care about anything else. She pounced on him and hugged his head tightly, refusing to let go.
You can shut up now!
Yun Jinglan quietly moved aside and continued her husband's unfinished words, "We will definitely send Jiujiu here!"
Chirp: "!!!"
At such a young age, she already knew who was at the top of the family food chain.
Her father was the heir to a marquis's mansion, and he listened to her mother, but her mother would never listen to her. Therefore, her mother was the eldest, and she was the second eldest. Now that the eldest had spoken up, the second eldest could only whine and cry.
I don't want to go to school!
Dean Jian had been observing Jiujiu's behavior. Such a young child seemed to understand their conversation. However, this thought only flashed through his mind. Such a complex meaning, this little kid probably couldn't understand.
To ease the tension, Dean Jian joked, "Miss Qiuqiu is clever. If you can understand what Grandpa is saying, how about you come to the academy to study when you're three years old?"
Chirp was shocked; she definitely couldn't understand what he was saying!
She blinked and shook her head under Dean Jian's gaze.
Sorry, I don't understand!
I'm so smart, I just refused!
Dean Jian's smile froze. He couldn't have seen wrong, could he?
Shaking his head?!
Can you understand?
Dean Jian looked at Jiujiu with a strange look for a moment. Su Junyao was about to laugh it off when he heard Dean Jian say meaningfully, "Young lady is precocious. Why not send her to the girls' school sooner rather than later? It just so happens that His Majesty is interested in having Princess Funing audit her classes."
The two little babies will have a companion while they listen to the lessons, which makes it not seem too strange for the babies to go to school.
It's outrageous enough that he simply ignored this matter!
Jiujiu was completely upset. This old man was so mean. She clearly shook her head to show that she didn’t understand, so why did she have to go to school!
[No martial ethics!]
Facing Jiujiu's accusing eyes, Dean Jian said with a hint of malice, "Send it to the academy. I, the old man, will teach it myself."
ChiuChiu: [Take a break from all the chaos, I might need to go to school first...]
