After sending Su Ergou to the Imperial College, Su MO went to the military camp.

He had a mission today and had to go to the west city gate to welcome the officials who had returned from West Jin.

After receiving him, he escorted the officials into the palace.

The palace of the Great Zhou was divided into the previous dynasty and the harem. The harem was the residence of Emperor Jing Xuan and his concubines. Outsiders could not easily enter.

The previous dynasty was huge. The Grand Council, the Inspectorate, the six departments, and other important offices of the Imperial Court were all there. Emperor Jing Xuan met a few officials who had returned from the imperial study trip. Su MO was also there.

Su MO was the filial eldest grandson and eldest son at home. He was a loyal minister in the court. Emperor Jing Xuan thought highly of him and asked him to listen.

In the past few years, West Jin had been cultivating and resting. They no longer fought with various countries. Peace was the most important. They also reduced taxes among the people and rewarded farming. The people lived well and handed in more taxes. The deficient treasury gradually filled up in the past two years.

In addition, West Jin had also mined a few mineral veins.

Emperor Jing Xuan sighed.

The Great Zhou was originally a rich country, but the borders were continuously burned…

It was hard for the people to fight and waste their money, but if they did not fight, it would be difficult to rule the world.

After discussing the heavy topic, the official who returned also talked about the local customs of West Jin.

“The women of West Jin are good at reading. Along the way, I saw several private schools for women.”

“Oh?” Emperor Jing Xuan was very curious.

There was no lack of talented women in the Great Zhou. For example, the daughter of the Leng family and Qin Yanran from the Protectorate were all talented women who were famous in the capital.

However, they were not going to a private school to study. Instead, they were inviting a teacher home or finding an expert to acknowledge him as their master.

It was unknown if Emperor Jing Xuan had been provoked by Wei Ting recently, but he actually decided to set up a “private school for women”.

Although it was called a private school, it was actually more like a palace school. Lessons were taught in the Supreme Harmony Hall. The main students were the royal princesses, and the accompanying students were the daughters of ministers.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Su Mo. “Su MO, what’s your cousin’s name?”

Su Daya’s name appeared on the name list.

Su Xiaoxiao paused in her chopping. She lifted the lid of the pot and looked at the chicken soup that was boiling. Then, she closed the lid. “Why do I have to go too?”

“I’m also very puzzled.” Su MO sat in front of the stove and added a handful of firewood to the stove. He imitated Wei Ting’s actions and used the fire tongs.

As a person, he was honest. He remembered it from the last time.

Logically speaking, Su Xiaoxiao had grown up in the countryside. Only those who were familiar with her knew if she was capable. In the eyes of ordinary people, she was illiterate and unpresentable. Was Emperor Jing Xuan making things difficult for her or the princess?

However, on second thought, Emperor Jing Xuan would not go against a little girl.

Then, there were only two possibilities.

Firstly, it was a formality to show his deep love for Qin Canglan. As for whether she would be selected, Emperor Jing Xuan did not care.

Secondly, Emperor Jing Xuan had not given up on Qin Canglan’s lineage. He had made two preparations.

The Qin family’s military power had to return to the royal family no matter what.

If Qin Jiang won a month later and Qin Yanran married into the royal family, everyone would be happy.

However, if Su Cheng won, it would not be a bad thing for Su Cheng’s daughter to marry the Third Prince with military power.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “No way. Did they even want someone who has been married? Are your royals so not picky?”

Su MO pondered and said, “Emperor Taizu’s empress is a woman from the commoners. ”

Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened. “So there’s a precedent.”

Su MO paused and said, “That’s just my personal guess. It might not be accurate. If you don’t want to go, I’ll think of a way to reject it for you.”

After Su Xiaoxiao finished cutting the garlic sprouts, she said calmly, “No need.

I’ll go.”

At noon, the three little ones finished their first lesson in music. The three of them greeted Ling Yun and the others extremely politely.

“Goodbye, Teacher!” “Brother Deng An, goodbye!”

“Goodbye, Grandma Zhou!”

Madam Zhou was the chef in the courtyard.

The three of them clattered to the door and stuck their heads out to take a look. Indeed, they saw Su Xiaoxiao waiting outside.

The three of them were so happy that they pounced at Su Xiaoxiao.

“Mother!”

The three of them called her mother.

Su Xiaoxiao touched their heads one by one and asked, “Did you learn well and happily today?”

The three of them said in unison, “Happy!”

That was true. The three of them spent a pleasant morning.

In comparison, Ling Yun was very unhappy.

When Dahu was alone, he was very quiet. He could sit obediently on the cus.h.i.+on and listen to him play the zither for an hour.

The moment his two younger brothers arrived, Dahu’s style instantly changed.

The three of them played like cats and dogs. Ling Yun did nothing for the entire morning and ran around catching his little disciples.

It was not easy for him to hold his three disciples down and teach them a finger technique.

With a flick, Xiaohu caused blood to rush to the top of Ling Yun’s head!

Heavens!

The three little monkeys could cause trouble!

After half a day, Ling Yun was crippled.

Master Zhang had just finished cla.s.s. When he came to Ling Yun’s side, he saw Ling Yun sitting cross-legged at the door. His eyes were empty, his clothes were messy, and his hair was in all directions. His face was filled with despair.

Zhang Qins.h.i.+ said, “Uh… have you been ruined?”

Ling Yun was in a daze and did not say anything.

“It’s bad. The three children broke me…” Master Zhang shook his head, bowed, and began to pack the things on the ground.

Suddenly, Ling Yun said, “I’m hungry.”

Zhang Qins.h.i.+ was shocked and suspected that he had heard wrongly. “What… did you just say?”

Ling Yun wasn’t sure either.

He looked down at his stomach and felt it carefully. He said, “I think… I’m hungry.”

Ling Yun couldn’t eat normally. However, when it was time to eat, he would force himself to stuff a few mouthfuls of food.

He had long forgotten what hunger felt like.

Even when he ate the snacks that Su Xiaoxiao sent, it was not because he was hungry, but because he could eat them and wouldn’t spit out so much.

Su Ergou also spent a happy and fulfilling day in the Directorate.

Su Qi and Su Yu also went to school in the Imperial College and were not in the same cla.s.s as him.

At first, the two of them were worried that he would not be used to it.

After cla.s.s, they went to Su Ergou’s cla.s.s.

Good lord, Su Ergou did not seem like an outsider.

He was always at ease.

He sat in his seat and ate the snacks Su Xiaoxiao had brought him.

The soufflé was fragrant and soft. It was tender and soft. After taking a bite, it was so crispy that it fell to the ground.

His cla.s.smates were almost dying of hunger…

A cla.s.smate swallowed and mustered his courage to pat him on the shoulder.

“Where did you buy your snacks?”

“Oh, my sister made it. 100 copper coins for one and 200 copper coins for three. Do you want a few? You can reserve it today and receive it tomorrow. There’s a limited number. First come, first served!”

Su Qi and his brother felt their lips twitch.

So he was not here for cla.s.s. He was here to do business in the Directorate!

On the first day of school, Su Ergou successfully received an order of ten taels of silver for his family.

It was good to study.

Su Ergou liked to study!
