When Xiao Cunyu said this, Ying Huaiji did not refute.
At first, he did look down on these playboys, but after all, they had been classmates for such a long time, and he even tutored them personally. His experience in the academy was the most peaceful and quiet in his life, so if they had some real talents and knowledge, he would definitely not be too stingy with them if he had the opportunity in the future.
Especially Zhou Jingmao.
When facing Xiao Cunyu, Zhou Jingmao was a little silly and naive, but this man actually had a very high talent for studying.
Even if his character flaws prevent him from becoming a decisive and ruthless official in the future, if he can really pass the imperial examinations, he will definitely be able to become a noble person.
Therefore, it would be a good thing if Xiao Cunyu could persuade Zhou Jingmao to study hard.
At this time, Zhou Jingmao looked at the prince with expectant and nervous eyes, like a child waiting for the expectations and praise of his elders.
"I have heard Mr. Seventh Young Master mention many times that Prince Zhou is very talented, so I really hope that you can make a career in the future." The prince's words were quite tactful.
But Zhou Jingmao already felt that the fire in his heart had been ignited.
The prince hopes he is well!
Zhou Jingmao's face flushed: "I will definitely not let you down!"
"Xiao Qi, I won't go out to play anymore. I'm going to study hard in seclusion! Remember to tell the dean that I'm willing to do anything as long as you accept me!" Zhou Jingmao's motivation increased a lot!
In the past, he just wanted to be a prince who lived a life of idleness and wait for death, inherit the title in the future, and live an easy life.
Later, he was very scared by what happened to Hang Er, so he wanted to be an honest man and read more books to avoid accidentally breaking the law and losing his life in the future.
However, since Xiao Cunyu was no longer urging him in the academy recently, he had lost some of his enthusiasm and felt that he had been very serious and that was enough.
But now!
Not enough!
As long as he is good enough, the prince will definitely use him! Moreover, his brother will be the headmaster of the school, and as a classmate, his talent cannot be too far behind!
Zhou Jingmao's appearance is even more eye-catching.
Xiao Cunyu and Ying Huaiji both turned their heads away silently, unable to bear to watch any longer.
Zhou Jingmao didn't want to play anymore and wanted to bury himself in the sea of books immediately. After saying goodbye to the two of them, he left without any reluctance.
"You have high expectations of him." Ying Huaiji couldn't explain what emotion was emerging in his heart, and he was actually a little jealous.
Every time Xiao Cunyu fooled Zhou Jingmao carelessly, his unconcealed casualness and arrogance seemed to make him seem more intimate.
"This kid is just a calculating person. He won't move unless someone pushes him. And if the old headmaster thinks he is more suitable, then I won't have to bear the burden. Isn't that better?" Xiao Cunyu said again.
Based on her understanding of the old headmaster, the old man was quite stubborn and would not easily change his successor.
But she doesn't know how long she can live, so it's a good idea to make preparations in advance and train a few backup options.
Besides, wouldn't it be a shame for someone with the potential to be a scholar to live an ordinary life? Grow up well, and in the future... he will also be the living signboard of Wanjun Academy!
Xiao Cunyu narrowed his eyes, feeling a little proud.
Not long after, Xiao Cunyu and the prince parted ways and returned to the Xiao family.
After she returned, Ying Huaiji also took off his veil and sat in the carriage, silent for a long time. After a while, he instructed his subordinates, "Send the books in my side courtyard to the mansion of Marquis Yu Yong. Keep quiet and select a servant to send him there to supervise his reading."
His title as the crown prince was somewhat useful, and Zhou Jingmao had to read the book he gave him.
