Strong dication?
Bai Zhi’er pouted, a hint of confusion in her eyes as clear as glass.
Could it be that Third Aunt is pregnant?
But why would she drink dicine to prevent pregnancy?
The little one temporarily put the question aside.
"Little Uncle, rest well, I’ll go to the bank to get the things and then tell you about it!"
Xu Lianzhou nodded slowly.
After Bai Zhi’er left the room,
she saw Bai Yaoyu standing not far away, talking with Jun Kuang.
As she walked closer, she heard Bai Yaoyu say discontentedly—
"A Kuang, stop persuading . It’s impossible for to go to the academy. I don’t get along with that brat from the Wang Family, and currently, the academy administrators are all under his father’s command. Why bother causing myself trouble?"
Bai Yaoyu furrowed his brows coldly, "Besides, I want to take the military examination and beco a General; what good does going to the academy do?"
Jun Kuang pursed his lips, earnestly advising, "Young Master, this is not the right approach."
"Not to ntion that Mingyang Academy, which has nurtured official talents through two dynasties."
"At present, every reputable noble family sends their children there. Once you go and make friends, they could beco your influence in the future!"
"This is also why the Prince insists that the Young Master should go to the academy."
"Moreover, even if we take a step back, if the Young Master wants to take the military examination, it must be through the scholarly exams."
"Even for the military exams, the first test is a basic assessnt of literary skills."
"Otherwise, how can a dignified General lead troops into battle if he can’t understand books and principles? How can he command soldiers?"
Bai Yaoyu listened silently.
In the end, he still felt sowhat unconvinced.
"Mingyang Academy is just a hollow reputation; I once saw with my own eyes a poor family’s son wanting to seek education, only to have the teacher throw his books out!"
Jun Kuang couldn’t help but sigh.
"Such is the world, with the powerful oppressing others."
He recalled the days when the Jun Family hadn’t fallen from grace.
He was once a promising student in the academy himself.
Back then, he witnessed a wealthy and influential classmate taking poems from a poor student.
Claiming them as his own, he received praise from the teacher for his outstanding literary talents.
When the poor student complained to the teacher, he was instead t with accusations and insults for lying!
Later, not only did the student not receive justice,
he was expelled from Mingyang Academy.
At that ti, Jun Kuang believed poverty and sha were far from him.
But now...
He regained his focus and advised again, "Young Master, as the Prince’s eldest son, you are certain to inherit the Prince’s title in the future."
"Getting to know so noble families who can help you consolidate power is wholly beneficial for you."
"I am able to speak these heartfelt words thanks to your help. Please don’t bla for being presumptuous."
Bai Yaoyu waved his hand dismissively, not taking it to heart at all.
"I know you an well, but about studying, let’s talk about it later!"
He inadvertently turned back and noticed Bai Zhi’er not far behind, hugging a pillar and tilting her head as she listened for a long ti.
She blinked her big glittering eyes, her face soft and cute.
This adorable appearance made Bai Yaoyu chuckle.
He quickly walked over and picked up his sister.
"Zhi’er, why didn’t you make any noise when you ca?"
Bai Zhi’er fluttered her long eyelashes and asked in her childish voice, "Third Brother, don’t you know how to read?"
Jun Kuang couldn’t help but smile at her words.
Bai Yaoyu was montarily stunned, "Sister, Brother just doesn’t want to go to the academy; of course, I can read!"
