C355 A society of scholars (2/2)
Songyang Academy was worthy of being called a Confucian holy land. After he got off the car, Xiao Wen saw a receptionist wearing a scholarly robe walking towards him.
He looked at Xiao Wen, then looked at the children behind him, and asked: ”Are you going to send the children over?”
Looking at the five children behind Xiao Wen, he was also somewhat shocked.
Although the Songyang Academy had previously accepted many respected students, including princes and royalty, it was still a rare occurrence for him to have so many children in one go. After all, normal people would send their children over when they reached the appropriate age to study. With so many children coming out of a single family and entering the appropriate age to study at the same time, it was impossible unless the five children were born of dragons and phoenixes.
If it wasn't the birth of a dragon and a phoenix, then there was definitely a story behind all of this. As a member of the Songyang Academy, although the recipients would not feel fear, shock or happiness towards such students, they would definitely be curious about them.
”I wonder what's going on behind them all.” he thought.
But when Xiao Wen opened his mouth, his brain was interrupted. Xiao Wen took out a greeting card from his chest pocket and gave it to the man in front of him. He said, ”I am the Large Order. I did not come here today to take my child to school. Actually, these are all my students, I can't possibly let them transfer to Songyang Academy. In fact, I am here to visit the Songyang Academy today, I hope that this mister can help with the report. ”
Not in school?
Although he had heard that there would be a large man sending an official to visit today, the man was still somewhat disappointed. In addition to what Xiao Wen had just said, ”I can't possibly transfer them to the Songyang Academy either.” This kind of speech and tone also caused his disappointment to turn into dissatisfaction.
However, this dissatisfaction did not last for more than three seconds before he felt that he had abandoned them. Because after he received the name scroll, he felt that under the cover of the name scroll, a money bag touched his hand.
Subconsciously, he took the purse and lightly weighed it in his hand. He discovered that it seemed to have quite a bit of weight. When she looked at Xiao Wen again, she felt that Xiao Wen had become much more amiable.
”Sorry for troubling you, sir.” Xiao Wen said politely.
”That is to be expected. Senior envoy, please wait for a moment. I will go and report now.” With that, he turned and left, entering the Songyang Academy.
”Sir, do you need to be so polite to a receptionist?” Sun Shangxiang asked.
Although the travelling adventurer she was, was a man who respected any hero in the martial arts world, Sun Shangxiang still had respect for scholars. Xiao Wen was one of her few respected scholars, but that did not mean that she thought highly of all the scholars in the world.
However, Xiao Wen shook his head and said: ”The reason I'm doing this, is mainly to test the attitude of the Songyang Academy.”
He then explained to the other students, ”Just now, when that person heard about me, he had some strange looks in his eyes. However, after he had received the money, the look in his eyes had vanished like smoke in thin air. Obviously, there is a conflict between us and the Songyang Academy, but this conflict is very hidden and at the same time, very insignificant. If we can fix it in time, it won't take much. But if we let go of this seed of conflict, I'm afraid it will grow into a towering tree in the future. ”
Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang and the others nodded their heads as if they thought of something. The EQ of these children had not grown up yet, so they naturally did not understand the thoughts of an adult world like Xiao Wen.
Even the most sociable Sun Shangxiang was only messing around in the adventurer circle. In the adult world, the circle of Rangers was famously simple and straightforward.
As long as you have a good reputation, as long as you are famous for your loyalty, then no matter where you go, those rangers will respect you.
But scholars were different. The more they read, the more knowledge they would have. Therefore, Xiao Wen needed to come to the Songyang Academy the second day of the murder yesterday and turn their hostility into friendship.
