After returning home, Gu Jiangli told Jiang Huaizhi everything that had happened that day.
Without saying a word, Jiang Huai found a tutor for Yun Qing.
There were originally tutors in the manor, but Yun Qing had never been willing to learn, so the tutors felt they were not being of any use and left on their own.
With Yun Qing so eager to study, Jiang Huaizhi naturally couldn't refuse.
The next day, when the Master entered the mansion, Yunqing personally went to greet him.
He was eager to study and learn, so he respected his teacher greatly and studied very hard.
To satisfy Yun Qing's hobby, Gu Jiangli and Jiang Huaizhi personally visited him and invited two young masters, Zhao Qingyan and Fang Shiyuan, to teach Yun Qing the guqin and sheng privately.
They wouldn't live in the mansion like the teachers; they would only come over every evening and stay for an hour.
Yunqing used this one hour to practice the guqin and sheng.
To Gu Jiangli's surprise, Yun Qing also showed considerable talent in academics.
It turns out that he just didn't like studying before, not that he was bad at it.
After the teacher taught him to read, he praised him countless times for his talent and said that he was a good student.
Zhao Qingyan and Fang Shiyuan were amazed by Yun Qing's extraordinary talent.
In just two years, Yun Qing had become quite proficient in both instruments. Zhao Qingyan and Fang Shiyuan felt there was nothing more they could teach him, so they asked to leave.
The schoolteacher shared the same idea.
When the three of them bid farewell to Jiang Huaizhi, Gu Jiangli realized that it was time to go to the capital.
The family of three packed their luggage, boarded a carriage, and headed towards the capital.
They walked slowly, taking their time and enjoying themselves along the way, and it took them about a month to reach the foot of the imperial city.
The area outside the city gates was already bustling with activity.
Yun Qing peeked out of the carriage, staring at the towering city walls, the magnificent palace, and the crowds coming and going outside. She couldn't help but gape.
"Wow, is this the capital city? My brother studies here?"
His voice was filled with amazement and longing, "No wonder the people of Qingfeng City all want to come to the Imperial City, it looks so luxurious here."
Gu Jiangli also lifted the curtain from the other side, and the scene outside truly surprised her.
As expected of the imperial city, it is the most prosperous and bustling place.
She glanced at it a few times, then lowered the curtain and said to Yun Qing, "You'll be studying here from now on. Are you ready?"
Yun Qing patted her chest: "I'm ready. Mother and Father don't need to worry about me. I'll definitely be fine here. Besides, my brother is here too. He'll take good care of me."
"Don't cause your brother too much trouble. Be more sensible, okay?"
"Mother, my brother likes me very much. He won't find me troublesome. Besides, haven't I always been very sensible?"
Yun Qing's innocent and carefree expression made the atmosphere in the carriage relaxed and lively.
Before long, the carriage stopped, and the coachman outside called out, "Master, Madam, Young Master, we have arrived at Baiwen Academy."
Jiang Huaizhi got out of the car first, then helped Gu Jiangli and Yun Qing down together.
The three of them had just stood still when they noticed that there was another carriage parked opposite theirs.
The carriage was clearly expensive, and the horse was snow-white, probably the most expensive Snow Lion. Using this breed of horse to pull the carriage showed that the family had a high social status.
Not to mention the tassels hanging from the four corners of the carriage, which are made of precious stones and beads, and the carriage doors are made of valuable huanghuali wood.
Gu Jiangli clicked his tongue in amazement. The people in the capital were indeed wealthy. Those who came to study at Baiwen Academy were all from prominent families. He wondered if Yun Qing would feel pressured when he interacted with these people in the future.
Thinking this, the three of them had already arrived at the gate of the academy.
They stood under the plaque of "Baiwen Academy" but were blocked from entering.
The two men, who appeared to be young and likely scholars, spoke gently: “Gentlemen, it is currently the time for students to study. Unless there is an urgent matter, outsiders are not allowed to enter the academy. Please understand. May I explain the purpose of your visit?”
Gu Jiangli has always been very good-tempered towards polite people.
The same applies to the Jianghuai region.
He nodded and began to explain to the two doormen, "We're here to take our youngest son to school."
Jiang Huaizhi had barely finished speaking when, before the two doormen could say anything, a disdainful voice came from behind them:
"Study? This little brat? How old is he? Can he even read? He wants to study at the Hundred Books Academy? Your carriage is so shabby, you must not be from the capital, right? No wonder you don't even know the rules."
The newcomer was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a long robe with colorful shimmering gold thread, clearly the young master of a wealthy family.
The young master looked at them with disdain, walked up to them step by step, ignoring their gaze, and said to the doorman, "Announce that I am here to study. Also, don't let just anyone in. Remember, this is the Hundred Books Academy, not a place where just anyone can enter."
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Jiangli and the others with a look of utter disdain.
One of the doormen heard this and ran inside to call for help, while another waited outside.
Yun Qing was furious and about to lash out and curse, but Gu Jiangli quickly stopped him.
This action was discovered by the crown prince.
"Oh, not that old, but you've got quite the temper. You haven't even grown all your teeth yet, and you're already thinking about getting into Baiwen Academy? Don't you even know that most of the students at Baiwen Academy are between twelve and eighteen years old? You? Write your name down first before you come here!"
