Xiao Cunyu had already slipped out the door.
After all, Xiao Guantang was still studying in the academy, so he couldn't wait for her at home all the time. It wouldn't be too late to go home after she had dealt with the matter with the ghosts outside.
But she was afraid that the female soul didn't think clearly enough, so she didn't rush to find a man to impersonate her, but just observed outside the Tao family.
She dawdled from morning till evening.
At home, Xiao Guantang had also been waiting for so long.
After the servant came to report that Xiao Cunyu had gone out, Xiao Guantang was disappointed for a moment, but then he thought that his seventh brother must have something urgent to do and that was why he did not come as promised.
He was full of anticipation and stayed in Xiao Jingyun's yard.
Dong Qiaoxin originally thought that she could wait for Xiao Guantang at the Xiong family's place, but she sat there for so long, even drank a belly full of tea, and no one came, and her face looked not very good.
Xiong was not stupid, but she did not think too badly of Dong Qiaoxin. After all, it was normal for her to admire a handsome man at her age. She just wanted to meet him and had never done anything excessive. So Xiong did not get angry and just gave her a few gentle reminders.
"Aunt... my seventh cousin went to the academy, and my younger brother had no one to study with at home..." Dong Qiaoxin saw that it was getting late, and she felt disappointed, but also spoke with a bit of resentment.
Xiong raised her eyebrows: "I know, you want Jin Ming to go to the academy as well, right?"
"Aunt... I only have this one younger brother. There are many students in the academy. Maybe, maybe if he gets in touch with those people, he can make some progress..." Dong Qiaoxin said quickly.
"It's not that I don't love you and Jin Ming, but he is not suitable. Do you think I haven't thought about letting him go? But look at the academies in the capital, which one would accept an ordinary child with a weak foundation like him? Unless... it's those enlightenment schools, but you don't want him to go." Xiong said slowly.
When the two children first came to Beijing, she arranged a way out for Dong Jinming.
One is to hire a teacher at home to consolidate what he has learned and make him more sensible. After two years, when he has stabilized, he can be sent to school based on his ability.
The second option is to send him to a private school. There are many students or scholars out there who accept students. As long as he is willing to learn, he can also become a successful person.
But Dong Qiaoxin felt that there were too many students in the private school outside and the teacher could not concentrate on teaching Dong Jinming, so she stayed at home and invited Master Liang to come. She also thought that Dong Jinming would cherish this opportunity, but she didn't expect that this kid was really naughty. After studying for two or three months, Master Liang was completely disappointed in him and was unwilling to care about him at all!
"But my seventh cousin wasn't talented enough either, so he also went to the academy..." Dong Qiaoxin's voice became much softer.
Xiong had a smile on her face, but after hearing this, her eyes became disappointed.
"Xiao Qi is different." Xiong sighed. "Master Liang volunteered to take him there, and he meets the age requirement. Jin Ming is too young and knows nothing. If he went to the academy, he wouldn't be able to play with the other students."
In the future, the school that Xiao Cunyu attends will surely be filled with teenagers between the ages of twelve and eighteen.
The academy will not accept students who are too young, unless they are geniuses or have a strong enough background.
Does Dong Jinming have it?
Although her Xiao family is also well-known, Dong Jinming's surname is not Xiao after all. Even if her family has the ability and connections, they cannot use them on him. First, his talent is not worth it, and second, others will have opinions.
Who doesn't have relatives? Every family has a lot of direct relatives, but her Xiao family is special. She, Madam Xiao's illegitimate sister's child, a naughty ten-year-old child who knows nothing, is sent to that academy by all means?
Make people laugh.
