Chapter 85 Tianfu Academy

At this moment, Li Niyue's voice came from the corridor, "Why did you take so long?"

Li Niyue came over with two maids, and when she saw Lu Lingjun coming, she smiled widely.

When Nanny Wang saw her coming, she walked up to Li Niyue and whispered in her ear what she had just seen about Xiao Cui.

Li Niyue frowned immediately, "How can Miss Cui be so unreasonable! Sister Lu is still my mother-in-law's favorite. I have to go to my mother-in-law to explain her behavior!"

"Okay, Sister Li." Lu Lingyun walked up to her and held her, "It's nothing."

"That won't do. Little Cui is usually domineering. It's ok for her to bully us, but bullying you is really lawless. Even if your mother-in-law favors her, she has to apologize this time!" Li Niyue wanted to ask for an explanation for Lu Lingyun.

"She didn't say anything wrong. What is there to apologize for?" Lu Lingyun smiled calmly.

She did marry into a wealthy family, and it was understandable that the upper class nobles viewed her that way.

"Lingyun..."

"People should always know themselves. I should be treated according to my status. It is shameless to expect respect when you are weak."

Lu Lingyun always knows what status matches what identity. She wants to be respected by others even though she is weak. If she doesn't get respect, she will say bad things about others. That is being a hooligan and shameless.

If you are weak, then work hard to become stronger.

Anyway, there is still a long way to go.

Things will change over time, she will grow up, we will see later.

After hearing what she said, Li Niyue's eyes sparkled and she said after a while, "You said it very well!"

She pulled Lu Lingyun into her yard to chat. She was already grateful to Lu Lingyun for the charcoal fire incident last time, and after hearing her completely different attitude towards life, she only regarded Lu Lingyun as a close friend.

I talked to her about what happened after the last charcoal fire incident and all the way to the matter of Xiao Cui in the backyard.

"My sister-in-law could have entered the palace as a concubine. She entered the final round of selection. Six of the eight beauties made it, but she and the daughter of an imperial merchant failed. Guess how she failed?"

Lu Lingyun shook his head, "I can't guess."

How could she know this? A girl from Lu Lingyun's family background didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the beauty contest.

Everyone was very surprised to hear that Cui came to Beijing for the selection. They thought she had a good family background and good manners, so they didn't know why she failed the selection.

Li Niyue chuckled at this time, "It was the Queen Mother who said that her eyes were too fierce. Staring at her reminded her of the fierce gods in the Buddhist temple, so she left with a sign, gave her flowers and chased her away."

Lu Lingyun: "......"

This little Cui was from such a high family, she must have gone after the imperial concubines. In the end, she was sent down by the empress dowager because her eyes were too fierce. She must have been so angry that she died!

This is a complete humiliation!

Besides, now that the Queen Mother has said so, it will be difficult for Xiao Cui to get married in the future.

"Is she able to go back?" Lu Lingyun asked quickly.

"Of course she can't go home." Li Niyue glanced towards the Cui family's courtyard in the north, "My mother-in-law took her back to the Duke's Mansion and arranged for her to be with my brother-in-law."

Lu Lingyun understood, no wonder Xiao Cui also married into the family.

"My sister-in-law originally wanted to marry into the royal family, but in the end she married into the Duke's Mansion. She always dislikes this and that, and looks down on this and that. She just relies on my mother-in-law who loves them both, so no one likes her." Li said what was in her heart.

Lu Lingyun followed with a smile, "It's indeed a headache."

"But you said it well today. How this person wants to be viewed by others depends on his own strength. I have to fight hard and not let Xiao Cui look down on me."

"Sister, your family background is not bad." Lu Lingyun said.

Li Niyue's father was a second-rank official, the Prince's tutor and also the Left Chief of Staff.

The Zuodu Yushi was already one of the top three officials in the Yushitai, and the position of the Crown Prince's Tutor meant that he was the emperor's confidant.

Li Niyue's marriage to the Duke's Mansion was a perfect match, and she was even marrying down. It was because her mother-in-law, Cui, had a higher status and could suppress her, otherwise she would have been in charge of the whole family as soon as she entered the house.

"Now that my daughter is married, she still has to take care of herself. She can't always ask my father for everything." Li Niyue smiled.

"right."

Li Niyue then added, "My father's health is not very good this year, so he has temporarily put his position as the Prince's tutor on hold. But he is also very busy. Several uncles and aunts are planning to open a school this year and invite him to give a few classes occasionally. He agreed directly and told me that if my son Qian was older, he would be sent there to study when he is three years old."

Lu Lingyun heard this and asked, "But is it Tianfu Academy?"

"Yes, you heard that too?"

How could Lu Lingyun not know about Tianfu Academy!

That was a top-notch academy that later became famous and produced many top three scholars.

In the last life, in the later period, countless noble scholars tried their best to send their children to study there. It can be said that if one entered Tianfu Academy, he or she would have one foot in the imperial court.

Not only is the teaching quality first-rate, but the connections are top-notch.

"Of course I know about the academy that the great Confucian scholars want to establish."

In this life, Tianfu Academy had just been established and not many people knew about it. Only those who knew the Confucian masters sent their children there.

In her previous life, Lu Lingyun got some information about the imperial examinations from Tianfu Academy. She used the poor method and prepared for all the imaginable exam questions, which helped Li Wenxun pass the imperial examination. At the same time, she knew very well that it was too difficult to study in Tianfu Academy.

"If your mansion has a suitable young man, you can send him here." Li Niyue said.

When Lu Lingyun heard this, he was moved. "We don't have any children of the right age in our mansion at the moment, but my brother is fourteen this year. Can we send him to Tianfu Academy to study?"

Li Niyue did not hesitate after hearing this, "No problem, I'll just tell my father."

Lu Lingyun had helped her before, so for her, the matter of going to school was just a small favor and she didn't take it seriously at all.

For Li Niyue, it was just a casual suggestion, but for Lu Lingyun, it was a rare opportunity. If Lu Kuan entered Tianfu Academy, it would be like riding on the east wind and soaring to the top.

"Sister Li, thank you so much!"

"Why should we sisters be so polite? I will have to trouble you when I become the head of the family."

"Sister, just come to me." Lu Lingjun smiled and narrowed her eyes.

After leaving Duke Xu's mansion, Lu Lingyun was very happy. She returned to the mansion and was happy to see everyone. Even when she saw Xing Dairong, she smiled and asked proactively, "How are you these days? Do you need anything?"

Xing Dairong was puzzled by Lu Lingyun's good mood, "Madam, I'm fine."

"Take good care of the baby. If you need anything, just tell me." Lu Lingyun left.

Xing Dairong looked at her smug look, turned around and snorted, "Humph, what's there to be proud of!"
