Chapter 144 Decision
Although he thought so, he explained the situation of Lucheng Confucian Academy to Qin Shuang in detail. After Qin Shuang heard, she couldn’t help but be speechless. The rules of this Confucian Academy are really not small.
After entering the Confucian Academy, gold and silver are no longer the common currency. Everything in the Confucian Academy requires points. Food and clothing need points, access to the library needs points. Where do these points come from?
There are two ways to earn points, one is from rewards. That is, every time the top 30 people in the Confucian Academy assessment, will get different points based on their grades. The other is from work.
There are a lot of jobs available to students in the Confucian Academy, and all students can earn points through various jobs. At the time of admission, the Confucian Academy exempts all required points for each student for three months of accommodation. Points must be paid by the fourth month, and if they cannot be paid, they will be removed immediately.
So, in theory, a person can study in the Confucian Academy indefinitely before he or she can pass the exam, but the high points required make every student discouraged.
No matter how noble your identity is, if your family is rich, its all useless here, everything must be obtained by yourself.
It can be said that the Confucian Academy is another kind of lifestyle! Its a comprehensive lifestyle. No one can persist there for a long time, and after repeated failure in their exam, they all leave.
“And…” When Zhou Haoran explained, he added: “You are a princess, you can enter the Confucian Academy by yourself. But if you want to get my teaching in the future, you won’t be allowed to reveal your identity. So I’ll write you a letter, and you’ll take my letter to Dean Lu of the Confucian Academy, who will arrange for you.”
“But…” Qin Shuang hesitates: “I am not a talented scholar! How can I enter the Confucian Academy if I am not a princess?”
“This I’ll arrange!”
Zhou Haoran indifferently looks at Qin Shuang. He would like to see how long Qin Shuang can pretend?
At this time Qin Shuang is really a little troubled, she has a lot of things to do. First, before the Crescent Moon Kingdom Competition, she needs to continue to improve her own spirit pattern realm, and also cultivate at the same time. If she enters the Confucian Academy, will she have time in that kind of environment?
After entering the Confucian Academy, if you want to live in a separate room, or a separate courtyard, that requires more points. So it takes more time to work to earn points, so where does she have time to improve her spirit pattern realm? How can she have time to cultivate?
Now, however, she is not very concerned about the promotion of her spirit pattern realm. She originally decided to study spirit pattern art and enter the Spirit Pattern Competition because she wanted to go to the Imperial Capital of the Frost Empire. Now that Yuan Fei has come back, she has no need to rush to the Frost Empire. So she doesn’t care too much about what realm she can achieve in spirit pattern art.
If she has to work most of the time to earn points, what matters to her most is cultivation. With the remaining time she has to learn Confucianism, which is a bit of a loss. So she is hesitant at the moment. Her hesitation was seen by Zhou Haoran’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth lift up in a derisive look.
Sure enough, she is pretending!
“Can I live outside?”
Qin Shuang asks softly, if she could live outside, she would be able to eat outside. Food and clothing can be resolved outside the Confucian Academy, with money, no longer requiring points.
“No!” Zhou Haoran shakes his head: “The Confucian Academy allows only three days off every month to go out. The remaining people must stay in the Martial Arts courtyard.”
Qin Shuang slightly frowns and says: “Master Zhou, you know I will need to go to the kingdom’s Spirit Pattern Competition.”
“You can take a leave of absence!”
Qin Shuang slightly bows her head and falls into contemplation. In the end she still wants to go and see it. Get in touch with Confucianism. She thought carefully, her spirit pattern is not necessary right now, she doesn’t need it to go to the Frost Empire, so she is not very enthusiastic about it. So spirit pattern art can be put on a temporary hold.
What about martial arts?
At the thought of martial arts, her heart is bitter, even if she now devotes all her time and energy to practicing martial arts and then what?
As long as she cannot solve the problem of her blocked meridians, the highest her repair can reach is the Qi-Intake. So practicing martial arts is not an urgent matter for her. As for Daoshu, she has now practiced to the opening period, but she has only three layers of cultivation law, once she cultivates to the transformation period, there is no follow-up method. So, strictly speaking, today’s Qin Shuang is not too anxious to practice martial arts, daoshu and spirit pattern art, but rather studying Confucianism may be a chance opportunity for her.
The look on the face of Qin Shuang gradually becomes firm, and then she said: “Then trouble you Master Zhou.”
Zhou Haoran’s look is shocked, he completely did not think that Qin Shuang is really willing to go to the Lucheng Confucian Academy. But he didn’t speak, straight to the table, he spread the paper, pen and ink, wrote a letter, and then stamped his seal, the paper into an envelope, handed it over to Qin Shuang:
“Princess take this letter to the Lucheng Confucian Academy, if you graduate from the examination in the future, you can come back to the old man.”
The face of Qin Shuang reveals a bitter smile, she heard the meaning in Zhou Haoran’s words, that is, if you don’t graduate from the Confucian Academy, don’t bother me.
Qin Shuang is a proud person, so she silently took the envelope, silently bows to Zhou Haoran, and then silently turns away.
For the silent Qin Shuang, Zhou Haoran doesn’t care. He didn’t even care about the Crescent Moon Queen, would he care about a mere princess? Instead, Qin Shuang silently leaving, makes him feel relieved. A gentle sigh:
“Alas…These princes and princesses, how troublesome!”
Qin Shuang walks out of Zhou Mansion, gets into her carriage and instructs: “Back to the Princess Palace.”
“Yes, Your Highness, Princess!”
Back to the Princess Palace, Qin Shuang first inspects the Princess’s three major teams cultivation state, and then listens to Qin Ying and Yuan Ye’s report. Everything makes Qin Shuang’s heart very satisfied. Qin Ying and Yuan Ye took good care of the Princess Palace inside and outside. Qin Ying originally managed everything for Qin Shuang while in the capital, and Yuan Ye once managed a city for Yuan Fei, and now he manages a small Princess Palace in Tianqin Town.
During Qin Shuang’s leave, the warriors of the three camps were in a rapid rising period, thanks to the teachings given by Qin Shuang, the cultivation laws Qin Shuang gave them at the beginning, and the medicine containing a drop of jade liquid, and now they are still in a low state, but each person’s qualifications are pretty good, so one by one their repair can be described as a thousand miles a day.
