The boy hitched the carriage, and Xiang Mingli, his wife and children hurriedly got into the carriage.
Xiang Minghou walked out from behind the stone lion at the door with Ye Qianning in his arms. He snorted coldly as he looked at the car driving away.
"Dad, aren't we going to Loushan Academy?" Ye Qianning asked, staring at the car running away.
"There is no one in Loushan Academy today."
"kindness?"
"On the second day of school every year at Loushan Academy, all the teachers and students will go to the top of the mountain to pay homage to their ancestors, burn incense and fast for a day, and then go down the mountain at night," said Marquis Xiang Ming.
Ye Qianning nodded in understanding, and this is such a broken rule.
"Second uncle went to Loushan Academy and couldn't find anyone. Will there be trouble again when he comes back?"
"Let him make trouble. I didn't run Loushan Academy. The rules were set by the late emperor. If you have the ability, go to the royal family and make trouble." Xiang Minghou didn't take them seriously.
"What if I fail the exam?" Ye Qianning asked.
"Don't worry, you will definitely pass the exam. Dad believes in you."
Ye Qianning didn't know where his confidence came from, but she really wanted to learn, and it was important to understand traditional Chinese characters first.
Xiang Mingli's family was bound to have another fuss that night if they couldn't find anyone. That night, Xiang Minghou took her to the capital and left a separate courtyard, but did not return to the General's Mansion to rest.
Early the next morning, Xiang Minghou took her to Xianrenzui for breakfast, and then went straight to Loushan Academy.
Loushan Academy is located on the westernmost mountain range of Kyoto City. The mountain road is rugged and difficult for horse-drawn carriages to navigate. You have to walk up the mountain to enter the mountain gate. The distance between the mountain gate and the academy is quite different.
Generally speaking, for young men and young ladies from aristocratic families who have never experienced hardship, the first major difficulty in enrolling in school is climbing mountains.
Xiang Minghou carried Ye Qianning all the way up. The scenery in Loushan was surprisingly good. In early spring, peach blossoms were in full bloom on both sides of the mountain, and the spring breeze filled the air with the fragrance of flowers.
Spring is the season for sleepiness, and Ye Qianning felt her eyelids twitching as soon as she reached the halfway point of the mountain.
"I'm tired, just take a nap. It will be a while before we get to the academy." He noticed that the villain was yawning, so Xiang Minghou covered her head with a nightshade.
Ye Qianning's body was indeed sleepy, so she sighed and closed her eyes.
About an hour later, Ye Qianning woke up from the noise in her ears, raised her hands to rub her eyes, and lifted the clothes covering her head.
In front of me, many students wearing blue and white school uniforms were queuing up to receive meals. It was already noon.
"General Xiang, you're here." A young man in his early twenties came forward.
"Well, Master Song, are you here?" Xiang Minghou nodded and asked.
"Master is meeting with guests right now. If it's for your wife's sake, General Xiang, please come back. The academy has its own rules that cannot be broken." The young man said and glanced at Ye Qianning secretly.
"The rule is that the dead are alive. I must finish my daughter's studies today." Xiang Minghou said confidently.
The young man was in a dilemma: "General Xiang, our academy has no precedent of temporarily adding students."
"It's just that I missed the start of school. If it's something serious, I'll go find Mr. Song." Xiang Minghou didn't bother to talk to the young man and walked past him towards the backyard.
"General, Master, I'll see you again... General..." The young man chased after him.
Ye Qianning listened for a long time and understood. If she misses the opening day of the academy, she will have no chance to enroll. Her father is here to open the back door for her today.
"Dad, if it really doesn't work, I won't do it."
Although she really wanted to get close to Xiaogupan, she couldn't embarrass her father. Xiaogupan's affairs were only a matter of time, so there was no rush.
"Don't worry, there is nothing that dad can't do." Xiang Minghou was full of confidence.
