Chapter 1048 Hope

Chapter 1048: Hope Chapter 1048: Hope Editor: Atlas Studios His son was naturally an outstanding kid.

Although Little An attended the same class as the twins at home, his learning progress was different.

Tiger Head and Little Lion had always been somewhat idle.

Advisor Qian didn’t have strict requirements for their schoolwork, but it was different for Little An—Advisor Qian took special care of him.

It was precisely because of this that Little An could help Advisor Qian take care of the three younger children, too.

That was why they could study in harmony in the same classroom.

Clearly, it would be different if they went to the academy.

Fan Zijin could not help but put himself in Little An’s shoes.

If his mother had asked him to study separately from Haoran on the grounds that it would not delay his studies, his answer would naturally be no.

Speaking of which, his son wasn’t even seven years old yet, right?

Why was there such a hurry for him to enter a more senior class?

If he was bullied there, who would help him beat him up?

Kids in the most junior class were of the same age.

With Tiger Head and Little Lion around, who would dare to bully his son?

However, becoming the top scorer in the Imperial Examination was also important.

Now that his son could study in the same class as a 13 or 14-year-old child, wouldn’t he be able to become the top scorer at the age of 15 or 16?

Fan Zijin was conflicted.

Qi Haoran patted his chest and rejoiced.

“How big of a matter is it for you to quarrel like this?” He’d thought that something big had happened.

“Just do whatever makes Little An happy.

If he wants to pass the Imperial Examination at a young age, then he’ll focus on it.

However, I don’t think there’s a need since he hails from such a family and will inherit the duke title in the future.

If he can become a jinshi at a young age, great.

But if he can’t, it doesn’t matter.” Qi Haoran said seriously, “If he wants to excel at the Imperial Examination, he’ll just have to read a few more books on poems, books, and literature.

Since he’s smarter than Tiger Head and Little Lion, he can afford to learn more things that he’s interested in.

He can just read more books.

Why must he skip grades?” Qi Haoran was very open-minded about such things.

“To ask a six or seven-year-old child to study with a group of 13 or 14-year-old teenagers.

Not to mention being bullied, just the psychological pressure alone is already a lot.

Look at how mischievous he is with Tiger Head and Little Lion.

Even though he’s a genius, he’s still a child at heart.

If we really throw him into the middle of a group of older children, I’m afraid he won’t be used to it.” Fan Zijin clapped his hands happily.

“That settles it.” Qi Haoran said enviously, “It’s a great thing to be so academically inclined.

Why do we have to make him study so hard?” Recalling back then when he was studying, he could not even catch up to Zijin even if he stayed up late.

His homework was copied from Zijin’s, and when he was reciting content from books, Zijin had to remind him softly from the side.

During the examinations, he had to get Zijin to pass him slips of papers.

If Zijin had worked hard, it would have been fine, but when he was stutteringly reciting from books, Zijin had already thrown away his textbook to practice calligraphy.

While he was working hard to understand the lecture notes, Zijin was looking at music scores.

When he was copying Zijin’s homework, Zijin was studying a chess game.

And when he went out to play, Zijin was also playing.

When he was practicing martial arts, Zijin was sleeping.

To be honest, if Zijin was not his good brother, he would definitely torture him to death when he was studying.

Studying was too easy for him, huh?

Meanwhile, Qi Haoran studied so hard and still paled greatly in comparison with him.

Little An was even more absurd than Zijin.

If Zijin wanted to memorize a book, he had to read it at least four to five times.

Meanwhile, Little An only had to read it twice before committing the contents to memory.

If Zijin wanted to understand a textbook, he had to look through the teacher’s lecture notes or check the book ‘Shuowen Jiezi1′.

On the other hand, Little An had finished memorizing Shuowen Jiezi and would simply ponder on his own when reading a textbook.

Then, he would flip through the relevant books.

The questions he raised could stump Advisor Qian, who had a juren background.

Why would he destroy such a breezy student life?

He might not even have such a good brain even if he reincarnated ten times.

Since he had such a good brain, he ought to cherish it and needn’t be in a hurry to seek abuse.

Initially, Fan Zijin nodded in agreement.

However, after hearing this, he turned around and left.

How could his son be so unambitious?

Since those classes were not a problem for him, he could revise and learn new things.

He could also study the Seven Arts in depth.

The courses arranged by the academy for the students were based on the six arts.

Medical skills had long been eliminated because of the changes in the times.

However, Little Bear and the others were going to the battlefield in the future, so there was no harm in knowing a little medical knowledge.

Little An could learn more about this aspect alongside them.

As the Imperial Examination became more and more popular, although the academy still offered six arts courses, the degree of importance was much lower than before.

They only taught some superficial stuff.

Whether the students could study in depth depended on the students’ choice and family background.

The six arts were not something that could be learned just because one wanted to.

It required a lot of time, energy, and money.

Even though Little Bear was nurtured as a Prince, Qi Haoran did not plan to let him study the arts in depth.

Other than etiquette and shooting, it was fine as long as he knew a little about the rest.

He would leave it up to Little Bear’s interest.

Meanwhile, Little An was obviously a person with a lot of time, energy, and money.

Qi Haoran rubbed his chin and thought that if he really let Little An spend time in the junior class with Tiger Head, Little Lion, and the others, he might really be able to master all six arts.

After all, the learning speed of those two boys was really not flattering.

Mu Yangling had obviously thought of this as well.

Looking up to see that Fan Zijin was about to leave, she hurriedly shouted, “Zijin, why don’t we hire a teacher to teach Little An medicine and see if he’s interested?

If he is, he might as well learn all seven arts.” Fan Zijin turned around and looked at Mu Yangling in disdain with Qi Haoran.

Mu Yangling asked in a daze, “What’s wrong?

Did I say something wrong?” Qi Haoran shook his head and sighed.

“I heard from Spring that pregnancy makes one stupid for three years.

I never believed it, but now I do.

If Little An wanted to learn medicine, would he need to hire someone?

Don’t we have an imperial physician right at home?” Mu Yangling was embarrassed.

She indeed hadn’t thought of Imperial Physician Wang.

After Fan Zijin left, Qi Haoran went up to Mu Yangling and looked at her seriously.

After a while, he nodded.

“You do look a little silly.” Mu Yangling reached out and pushed him away.

Qi Haoran laughed out loud and said to her, “Alright, don’t worry about this matter.

If the children are unwilling to be separated, leave them be.

At least no one can bully them when they’re together.

At least, there’s Little for the ‘brains’ of the group and Tiger Head and Little Lion to be the ‘muscle’.

Also, in two years’ time, Wensu will be a good fighter…” The more Qi Haoran spoke, the more he felt that it was true.

He couldn’t help but smack his lips.

“The four of them are simply unbeatable when together.

In the future, we don’t have to worry about them being bullied in the academy.” Mu Yangling said, “Even if they don’t team up, no one will dare to bully them with their status.” “That’s not necessarily true.” Qi Haoran said, “There are always schemes.

No matter how high they stand, they can’t avoid it.

And there are always a few hotheads in the world who don’t act based on the other party’s status.

What if Little An gets beaten up?

His body is weak.

Even if Little Bear can help him get back at the other party subsequently, he’d still have been bullied.” Back then, Qi Haoran was such an existence in the academy, so he was quite experienced.
