Chapter 504 Why would I scold a woman?
Because of the incident of disobeying the imperial order, the relationship between the emperor and his minister became estranged. He was a commoner and was not allowed to enter the palace without the imperial order, so there was nothing he could do.
Dabao continued, "After a few days, when the Emperor Uncle lifts the ban on my entry into the palace, I will go to the palace to ask for an audience and comfort the Emperor Uncle. I'll see if our Prince Xiang's Mansion can help. What do you think, Dad?"
Liao Jiu nodded, "Of course, I'm willing to help if you need me."
Dabao acted like a little adult and just said "hmm".
Then he added, "Also, we misunderstood Madam Zhou before. We didn't know about the talisman on her body, and we behaved rudely. When Madam Zhou recovers and returns to the capital, I will also need to apologize to her."
"That's not necessary. I plan to go to the farm outside the city with your mother tomorrow, riding on a golden eagle, to visit her. I'll inform her of the outcome and have your mother check on her recovery."
Dabao quickly agreed, "It's what you deserve. Dad, you're so thoughtful."

The next day, Liao Jiu took his three happy children to Tianya Academy.
Found the dean of Tianya Academy.
As soon as the old dean saw him, he scolded him severely, saying that he had lost all his sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. He even disobeyed the emperor's order for a woman and became a son-in-law. It was really outrageous and beyond description.
Liao Jiu did not refute and accepted it all.
Finally, Liao Jiu introduced Dabao and the other three children. The old dean gave them a simple assessment and accepted them all.
A teacher was arranged for Dabao and the others to take the three children to join the class.
Leaving Liao Jiu alone, he continued to scold him, and did not stop for a whole incense stick of time.
Finally, the old dean, his nose not a nose, his eyes not eyes, angrily said, "Bring that Jiang to me one day and let me see what kind of woman she is. She has harmed you to this point and made me a laughing stock. The student I personally taught has become the son-in-law of a divorced village woman!"
Liao Jiu said, "I can bring her here for you to see, but please don't scold her. If you want to scold her, scold me first today, okay?"
The old dean was so angry that his teeth itched. "How could I scold a woman? I am the dean of Tianya Academy. Do you have any misunderstanding about me?"
Liao Jiu said in a tone of disbelief, "Teacher, you are the most famous person in Da'an Country who can curse people, regardless of gender, age or status. You have even cursed the queen and the princess. Aren't there enough women you have cursed?"
In the eyes of the old dean, there is no such thing as gender.
As long as someone makes a mistake, he will scold them if he doesn't like it.
Tianya Academy is famous for two things. One is that it is the first institution of learning in Da'an State. The teachers are all talented and knowledgeable. The students of Tianya Academy are all good in both moral character and academic performance, smart and studious. There are also female teachers, and women's enlightenment classes are opened. There is no discrimination against women and full inclusion.
Secondly, the old dean of Tianya Academy was known for his verbal exchanges, but that's not quite right. Officially, he was known for his debate skills and eloquence, often hosting large-scale debates, inviting a wide range of learned people. The old dean could outwit ten scholars, engaging them in debates. As scholars, with their vast knowledge, they traveled extensively, lecturing, making friends, and spreading their knowledge. The old dean traveled extensively, and if he dared to claim second place, no one would dare claim first place.
In addition, the old dean's personality is such that he will fight if he is not satisfied and scold if he is unhappy. People who have been scolded by him cannot be angry with him. Being angry is useless. He is an old scholar. It is your honor to scold you. Scolding you is not a death sentence. It is to make you mend your ways. It is a good intention.
Some servile people take pride in being scolded by the old dean of Tianya Academy.
After being scolded by the old dean, he became complacent and went out to brag about it to others.
The old dean coughed, "Nonsense! Just bring her here for me to see. I want to see what she's capable of. I won't scold someone who's capable. I'll even praise her!"
"Okay, let's talk about it next time, teacher. I'm leaving first. Those are my three kids, please take good care of them." After saying this, Liao Jiu stepped on the ground and wanted to run away.
The old dean sighed, "How does it feel to be someone's stepfather?"
Liao Jiu thought about it, "It's good for the poor governor to marry and become a son-in-law, and be supported by his offspring..."
The old dean couldn't help but burst out laughing.
I can't keep a straight face anymore.
"Get lost! I'll just pretend you're not even a student like this..."
Liao Jiu just walked away.
A dog is a dog. It has been a dog for a long time. Now it is a student. It’s nothing. You just need to get used to it.

Liao Jiu and Dabao were sent to school and returned home.
Jiang Lianzhu had already packed and prepared everything. She brought some medicinal herbs and prepared some soothing decoctions. She would look at the prescription later and see if it needed to be improved.
Seeing Liao Jiu coming back alone, he asked, "Are you done? Did the academy accept them?"
"I accepted it. My teacher is a man of good words but soft heart. He agreed as soon as I asked him. Besides, Dabao is a good boy who loves reading. He is the most favored by an old teacher like my teacher. There is no reason not to accept him." Liao Jiu jumped down from Chengfeng's back.
It was half a meter above the ground, and Jiang Lianzhu frowned when he jumped down from such a high place.
"Be careful, you're still injured." Seeing that Liao Jiu was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief. "How could you say that about your own teacher? What do you mean by having a blessed mouth?"
Liao Jiu replied, "Well, you'll understand when you meet him later. I was just praising him. He's a remarkable man who relies on his mouth to conquer the world. You know, he can debate with scholars. The words our ancestors created were tailor-made for him. When we went out to study, my teacher always won first place in every academic debate. No one could defeat him. Not only that, one time when we were on a study tour, we encountered bandits on the road, and the old dean used his mouth to curse the bandits' ancestors for three generations, and scolded them away. Then, as he said himself, his mouth was blessed..."
Jiang Lianzhu burst out laughing.
"Your teacher is a strong man! I'll pay him a visit when I get a chance."
Liao Jiu said, "Let's not do that for now. If you scold my wife and she cries when we meet, I'll be heartbroken."
You can scold him, but you can’t scold his wife, even if she is a teacher.
Jiang Lianzhu glared at him coquettishly, "You're just a joker. Come on, I'm ready, let's go."
In the morning, Liao Jiu rode the wind to take his children to school.
Yes, Liao Jiu rode the wind and took his three children to school, and it was not crowded at all.
Chengfeng didn't let Xiangyou and the others ride, but he was familiar with the three little ones, Dabao, Erbao, and Nianbao, and knew that they were their master's cubs. His tolerance increased, and when the master gave the order, they would not refuse to let them ride.
Three kids together are not as important as one adult, so there is nothing wrong with one adult taking three kids to school except that it is more lively and cool.
