Chapter 643 Just Call Him Xiaowu

Bai Yunxi looked at Dean Zhang and said, "Thank you very much, Dean Zhang. I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have never seen you. I thank you all today."

She only knew that children and students were all registered students, and they could register for the exam with their household registration stickers.

It was because of this that she asked Xiao Wu to visit Chang Xiucai with a souvenir and let him familiarize himself with the examination regulations. I didn't think of asking about the masters of Qingyu Academy who were responsible for leading the team.

Sure enough, she still hadn't thoroughly studied the rules of this era, nor had she fully adapted to them.

Dean Zhang looked at Bai Yunxi and narrowed his eyes. This is Brother Yunhui's wife. She doesn't look as delicate as he said.

Listening to Dean Zhang's thoughts, Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth almost imperceptibly, and couldn't help but complain, could the word "delicate" be applied to her?

She has been a tomboy since she appeared, she is now, and she will definitely not run away in the future.

Dean Zhang looked at their loving mother and filial son, raised his hand to stroke his gray beard, and smiled gently,

"No need to say thank you, this is my job. Speaking of which, I have known Brother Yunhui for many years, but I have never met my brothers and sisters. Today I am lucky enough to invite my family to talk. My wife rarely goes out, so you should be able to chat. Gotta come.”

Listening to Dean Zhang's tone, Bai Yunxi smiled gently,

"Thank you for your invitation. I am a woman who grew up in the countryside. I don't have much knowledge. I am afraid that I will not be able to catch the eye of the dean. I once heard my husband mention that the dean and his wife have a deep love for each other and they are enviable gods. "

"Oh? Brother Yunhui mentioned me to his siblings?"

Dean Zhang raised his eyebrows. There were some discrepancies between the descriptions of this eldest lady of the Bai family and brother Yunhui? It's not surprising when you think about it. A woman who has lost the protection of a man really has to support her children. Some changes are common sense.

It was difficult for her to change from a delicate lady to a strong woman.

Listening to Dean Zhang's thoughts, Bai Yunxi suppressed the emotion in his eyes and smiled helplessly.

"My late husband often lamented, saying that President Zhang was a learned scholar who resigned from office and founded this academy to find another way for young talents who could not enter official schools. There is a place to study. You are one of the students from a poor family. Master, an admirable great scholar.”

She didn't know anything else, but private schools in this period couldn't be run without some ability, especially such a macro-scale college.

Those who serve as deans are jointly recommended by local officials and country gentry. Those who are knowledgeable and have high status must also be Confucian scholars with Jinshi background. The person in front of me has such a low status that he can't even take the position of dean, let alone start a college.

As soon as Bai Yunxi said this, both Dean Zhang and Xiao Wu next to him looked at their mother in surprise. It turns out that my mother also knew about this dean, but unfortunately she never mentioned it to herself.

"Haha...Bai's younger sister, Liao Zan, brother Yunhui also mentioned your younger sister to me before, saying that you are a gentle and virtuous lady. When we meet today, you are really good."

Dean Zhang said, looking up at the sky,

"Brother Yunhui and I met very late. Every time we met, we had to have a long talk... Alas, it was also my negligence. I didn't know that he had the intention to become an official. If I had noticed it earlier, I might have been able to help him a little bit. As for the stars that will fall.”

Dean Zhang said, letting out a long sigh, shaking his head and sighing.

Listening to Dean Zhang's pityful tone, Bai Yunxi choked up. She had somewhat guessed in this regard. The dean in front of her was very talented, but he did not want to be an official in the government. He resigned to run a school and recruit apprentices. To the world, This is an honest, honest and noble person.

Scholars are naturally arrogant and arrogant, and will not bow to others unless absolutely necessary. For the sake of the future of their children, the old juren also disagrees with the dean's thoughts, so how can he open his mouth to him?

Once a gentleman's friendship is tainted with the secular world, he will lose his arrogance. It is common sense not to speak to him based on his temperament.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be angry to death.

Information during this period is underdeveloped, and it is normal for even close friends to not contact each other for a year and a half. After all, it's your choice, so there's really nothing to complain about.

"Dean Zhang doesn't have to be like this. This may be his personal fate. Now Xiao Wu is still working hard, and he can be regarded as a spirit in heaven that comforts his father."

There is indeed no information about this dean in my memory. Some of them were mentioned to her last time by her third uncle, when Bai Yunhui brought his third uncle to see the dean.

She didn't think much about it at the time, but now that she thought about it, it was understandable. Bai Yunhui should have a good relationship with the dean. Otherwise, he would not have brought his third uncle over to meet a college dean.

On the other hand, the dean's ability not to shy away from an old country man shows that the relationship between the two is very close.

Alas, people say that scholars are pedantic, but she felt a little emotional at the moment. The old Juren didn't hug this shining golden thigh, but wanted to take risks on his own. I really don't know what to say?

Thinking of the deceased, everyone was a little silent, and for a while, the atmosphere was a little gloomy.

Bai Yunxi cleared her throat, and before she could speak, Zhang Yishan beside her broke the awkwardness.

"Dad, it's a happy event that this young scholar from the fifth class got the case. Why are you still sad? Don't you always teach me to look forward? What has happened cannot be changed. It's better to think about this young scholar. The next step for the Five Scholars is what matters.”

"Ahem... Yishan, don't be rude."

What Xiaowu scholar? Where did you come up with the title?

Dean Zhang glared at her, looked at Xiao Wu's embarrassed face, turned to look at Baiyun Xi, and smiled coquettishly.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. This is my daughter Yishan. My wife and I have only one daughter. We are used to pampering her and she has become a little spoiled. Yishan, according to my friendship with An Sheng's father, you should call him brother."

"Okay, then I'll call him brother Xiaowu?" As she said that, the little girl winked at Xiaowu and called him in a pretentious manner, making Xiaowu blush.

"You girl, you really should let your mother discipline you. It's too irritating." Dean Zhang was so angry that he almost pulled out a few of his beards.

"Miss Zhang has a lively personality, is cute and lovely, and is very likable."

It is said that women from scholarly families have always been well-educated and well-mannered, and their words and deeds all follow rules and dogmas. I didn't expect this Miss Zhang to be so free and lively. It was just as the dean said. Both husband and wife spoiled their daughter, so it was like this.

Dean Zhang looked about fifty years old, and Miss Zhang was estimated to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. No matter how you look at it, she was a daughter born in old age, so naturally she was raised as a treasure.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi chuckled. This was the same as the original owner, both of them were daughters born in old age.

"Dean Zhang, please don't blame Miss Zhang. I told her that Xiaowu was the fifth child in the family and the youngest one, so it was not wrong to call him Xiaowu."
