#20 - This is quite interesting.

Only on the first day of school was Qin Qingwan so excited to find Xu Ming to go to school so early.

The next day, Xu Ming got up early and, after finishing breakfast, discovered that Qin Qingwan hadn't come yet.

Helpless, Xu Ming took the jade pendant that Madam Qin had given him and went to the Qin residence to find Qin Qingwan.

Arriving at Madam Qin's courtyard, he saw Qin Qingwan leaning against Madam Qin, half-dreaming and half-awake, as Madam Qin combed her hair.

At this moment, Madam Qin was wearing a thin inner garment, her long hair cascading down, just reaching her waist, her beautiful face radiating a faint glow in the morning sun.

Because Madam Qin's legs were together and her posture was straight, the inner garment clung to her body, outlining a perfect curve.

If some people were to see this, they would probably shout, "I actually see the remnants of Cao Wei!"

"Qingwan, look who's here," Madam Qin said, smiling as she flicked her daughter's small face.

Because Xu Ming was only five years old, Madam Qin had no defenses against him at all. Even if Xu Ming saw her wearing her inner garment, so be it.

What could a small child possibly understand?

Qin Qingwan drowsily opened her eyes and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard. Her pair of watery, bright eyes lit up instantly.

"Brother Ming~~~" Qin Qingwan jumped out of her mother's arms and ran to Xu Ming's front.

"Greetings, Madam Qin," Xu Ming bowed to Madam Qin like a little adult, then said to Qin Qingwan beside him, "Qingwan, we should go to school now."

"Oh..." Hearing that she had to go to school again, Qin Qingwan immediately drooped.

Although the little girl said yesterday that she would try to like going to school, it didn't seem like she could like it very much.

Qin Qingwan even regretted why she had to go to school. Wouldn't it be better to play with Brother Ming and the big white goose in the courtyard?

But even with such a lack of interest, Qin Qingwan still hugged Xu Ming's arm and walked out, with the maid Cai Die following the two children.

At the entrance of the school, Xu Ming saw many dignified and beautiful women.

Many children were crying and holding onto the beautiful women's legs, crying and shouting, "Mother, I don't want to go to school. School is not fun at all."

Yesterday, servants and maids brought these young masters here.

Today, their mothers came instead. The servants and maids probably couldn't persuade these young masters, so their mothers had to come.

Seeing their children crying so sadly, many ladies softened their hearts, thinking that it would be fine if they didn't go to school.

After all, their children were only five or six years old. What could they possibly learn?

But remembering what their husbands had said to them, these beautiful women still painfully pushed their children into the school's front yard, then turned and walked away.

Seeing their mothers leave, they cried even louder, but their mothers didn't even turn their heads.

They gradually realized that crying also had a time limit.

If they didn't enter the school on time, their fathers would spank them.

They could only turn around and walk listlessly towards the school.

"Brother Ming~~~" Sitting in her seat, Qin Qingwan tugged at Xu Ming's sleeve, looking at Xu Ming with blinking eyes, "They all cried when they went to school, but Qingwan didn't cry."

"Mmm," Xu Ming nodded and took out the Analects of Confucius.

Xu Ming discovered that ordinary books like the Analects of Confucius only provided attribute points when read for the first time.

But the Heavenly Profound Heart Sutra provided attribute points every time it was read.

Seeing Xu Ming's indifferent reaction, Qin Qingwan pouted her small mouth and tugged at Xu Ming's sleeve again: "Brother Ming, Qingwan didn't cry."

Xu Ming looked at Qin Qingwan again. Qin Qingwan's bright peach blossom eyes revealed pure expectation, as if saying, "Praise me, praise me~~~"

"Qingwan is really amazing," Xu Ming stroked Qin Qingwan's little head.

"Hehe," Qin Qingwan, who was now satisfied, smiled and narrowed her eyes, rubbing her small head against Xu Ming's palm.

Just as Qin Qingwan was clinging to Xu Ming, Xu Ming saw Xu Pangda walk into the classroom, and then, as yesterday, sat in the aisle seat next to Xu Ming, silently taking out his book.

It seemed that Xu Pangda also came alone today. The First Madam, Wang Feng, never sent him even once.

Especially since Xu Pangda's deskmate didn't talk to him either, which made Xu Pangda seem even more lonely.

Although Xu Pangda said he was a "son of a concubine" when he was two years old.

But Xu Ming didn't take it to heart and had very little interaction with him, let alone hate him.

After all, what did a two-year-old child know? Wasn't it just that adults taught them what to learn?

Xu Pangda turned his head and found that Xu Ming was looking at him. The little fatty scratched his head shyly, then gave Xu Ming a hearty smile.

Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded and returned the smile.

Before long, the teaching master, Xiao Mo Chi, came to the school, and everyone quieted down and sat obediently at their desks.

The reason why these young masters and young ladies were so obedient was mostly due to their fathers' warnings. They must have been repeatedly told not to offend the teacher.

Today, Xiao Mo Chi continued to lecture on the Analects, but interspersed with some content from the Book of Songs.

It was indeed very boring.

But in ancient times, it was basically impossible to have any kind of interesting teaching.

But in order to get attribute points, Xu Ming listened very carefully.

Qin Qingwan was already dozing off like a chick pecking rice, and even directly leaned her little head on Xu Ming's shoulder and fell asleep.

Not only Qin Qingwan, but basically half of the students in the class were asleep.

But this teacher was very interesting. When someone had been asleep for a quarter of an hour, he would wake them up and ask them to answer a question.

If they hadn't been asleep for a quarter of an hour, the teacher would let them continue sleeping.

What surprised Xu Ming was that Xu Pangda, who was sitting on the other side, listened very carefully in class. Even when he wanted to sleep, he secretly pinched himself.

Xu Ming remembered that the last time he worked so hard was the last time...

Teacher Xiao also noticed Xu Ming and Xu Pangda, the two most studious students, and silently remembered them in his heart.

"Quack quack quack"

Just as the class was halfway through, a goose's cry suddenly rang out outside the window.

This goose's cry injected fresh water into the boring classroom. All the elementary school students woke up and looked out the window.

"Little White~~~"

Qin Qingwan also woke up and shouted happily when she saw the swan outside the window.

Xu Ming looked at the Heavenly Profound Goose outside the window, and his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. How did this stupid goose come?

"Quack quack quack~~~ (Little brother, the big sister is here to see you.)"

The Heavenly Profound Goose saw that it had attracted Xu Ming's attention and cried a few more times.

In the study hall, Xiao Mo Chi looked at this extremely spiritual swan, and the corners of his mouth gently curved up:

"This is quite interesting..."
