Going to school every day is troublesome. "No, I won't go. The children of wealthy families in Beijing all study at home. When you are older, I will find a good academy for you."
Chai Shijing soothed him, "Let the teacher live at home and teach you specifically, so that you can learn more carefully. Yuanfeng, wait two years, I will recommend you to study at the Imperial College."
Kang Yuanfeng exclaimed, "Imperial College?"
Kang Yuanhao was so surprised that he blurted out, "Brother, you really can be a marquis."
Eighty percent of the students at the Imperial College were descendants of officials of the third rank or higher, with another 20 percent recommended for exceptional academic performance or specially approved by the emperor because of the meritorious service of their relatives. Entering the Imperial College was like stepping one foot into officialdom.
Ye scolded, "Stop talking nonsense!" She glanced at Chai Shijing anxiously.
Chai Shijing chuckled, "If you want to be a marquis, you must study hard and become a person who contributes to the country and benefits the people like your sister."
Kang Yuanfeng was completely embarrassed. "I...it was all just nonsense."
If Chai Shijing could become emperor, Kang Yueran's brother would be the emperor's uncle. Although he wouldn't be granted a title of nobility right away, as long as nothing went wrong, it would be a matter of time. "Study hard with the teacher, and your future will be bright."
Kang Yueran didn't have any obsession with being a marquis. "If you are truly capable, you will surely be able to stand in the court and show your strengths. If you are not capable, you can just be a wealthy and idle person. So whether you can be a marquis or not depends on you."
Kang Yuanfeng nodded, "Sister, I understand. I will work hard."
Kang Yuanhao scratched his head. "I will also work hard, but I think being rich and idle is also good. Hehe..."
Kang Yueran also laughed, "As long as you do the right thing, you can do anything."
Since her two younger brothers had to go to school, she turned her attention to Ye. Being away from home, she always felt helpless and lonely, so she had to find something for Ye to do to divert her attention.
"Mother, Aunt Wu is very good at embroidery. You can learn from her. Also, there's an old lady called Hua in the Qiuyuan who is an expert at growing flowers and farming. You can ask her to teach you."
Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "Okay, then I have something to do." She understood her daughter's thoughts, "Yueran, you go ahead and do your thing. You don't have to worry about us all the time."
Chai Shijing echoed, "I will take care of Madam and Yuanfeng Yuanhao."
After a busy day, Ye was tired. Kang Yueran asked her to have a good rest, and talked with Chai Shijing in the tea room for a while before sending him away.
In the middle of the night, Kang Yueran suddenly opened her eyes while sleeping. "Who is it?" She asked while shooting an arrow at the man at the door with her sleeve.
She slept alert at night and dressed neatly so that if someone came to assassinate her again, she could fight back immediately.
The man dodged easily, "I am Qin Yuan, the Duke of Zhenguo!"
