Chapter 683: Another Option on the Ambition List

No one should be able to refuse such a beautiful big sister. Qin Yao thought enviously in her heart.

If she hadn't been in her twenties now, she would have wanted to enter this women's academy and study more.

The Women's Academy is adjacent to the Imperial College, and its area is equivalent to that of the Imperial College.

Entering from the gate, there is a small square first, and behind the square there is a lotus pond. The lotus flowers in the pond have not yet bloomed, just small buds, with a little pink tip exposed.

Passing through the long corridor next to the lotus pond, you can see a group of nine classrooms.

Five of the north-facing classrooms were half-open, two classrooms were empty, and three classrooms contained female students ranging in age from six or seven to twelve or thirteen years old.

There are about thirty students in one class.

Students are taught separately according to age groups, and are divided into three classes: young room, middle room, and green room.

The two empty classrooms belong to Qingshi.

Caiwei explained: "Qingshi are children over twelve years old. They have physical training in the morning, and they are all over there in the martial arts field."

"And there are physical skills?" Siniang couldn't help but asked curiously.

Caiwei nodded, "If you want to study well, a healthy body is essential. The younger junior and middle rooms also have ten riding and shooting classes every month for the girls to run around."

Having said this, Caiwei looked back at Qin Yao and asked tentatively: "Do you mind, Madam, about these lessons?"

Qin Yao was a little confused, "Why should you mind? Isn't this good?"

"Sister Caiwei, my grandma is very good at riding and shooting!" Siniang said proudly.

Caiwei looked at Siniang in surprise, "Madam, has she also learned riding and shooting?"

Si Niang nodded wildly and corrected: "It's not like I've learned it before, but my grandma is very good at it."

Caiwei looked back at Qin Yao again, and Qin Yao raised her brows openly at her.

Mother and daughter look exactly the same, but their energetic expressions are exactly the same.

In fact, the ages of mother and daughter were displayed in front of her, and there was no similarity in appearance. Caiwei knew at a glance that they could not be her biological mother and daughter.

But the exact same sullen expression now made her suspicious - this was really not her biological child?

"But it's fine, Madam, if you don't mind. As you know, there are many noble people in Kyoto and there are many rules."

There are always people who are worried that their children will get hurt or bumped, especially girls, who will have scars and dirty faces, and will be rejected when they get engaged.

So it is best to sit still.

Caiwei nodded and continued to lead them towards the other four closed classrooms.

As he walked, he introduced: "This is the library. Students can go inside to read during their lunch break. However, the books in the library cannot be borrowed and can only be read inside."

"This is the piano room. Every day a violinist comes to give lessons to the students."

Si Niang pulled A Niang's sleeve excitedly, and the piano at home could be played again.

Qin Yao touched the child's head and reminded her silently: Calm down.

The dean hasn’t seen him yet, so he won’t be excited until he is successfully admitted.

However, children like this place so much that parents must find a way to successfully register their children no matter what!

"Caiwei, you said there are luthiers coming every day, do you mean the luthiers coming every day are not the same?" Qin Yao asked politely.

Caiwei didn't expect that she would discover this blind spot. She coughed twice and said a little guiltily: "Yes, the piano players here are all from the workshop."

Qin Yao understood, "That's it." There was no special reaction.

Caiwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really scared of being questioned by the hostages. It was rare that she didn't have to explain, which was great.

Siniang raised her head and asked in a low voice: "Aniang, what is the Jiaofang?"

Qin Yao thought for a while and explained: "It is a place that specializes in the teaching, rehearsal and performance of music, dance, and opera. It is a government agency, with people in charge of the inner court, and people in charge of dignitaries in the community."

When Si Niang heard this, she exclaimed, "That's not very impressive."

Qin Yao: "Yeah, it's awesome."

Caiwei pointed to the second room upright and said, "This is the place for lunch. Our women's garden will have a free soup and porridge at noon. The children are not always hungry, so they have to add another meal at noon."

Finally arriving at the last room, Caiwei motioned mother and daughter to wait outside while she went in first to inform them.

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you." Qin Yao led Siniang and stood under the eaves. The sun had risen and the temperature was so high that it even felt hot on her arms.

Siniang asked quietly: "Aniang, has Sister Caiwei gone to see the dean?"

"Probably." Qin Yao wasn't too sure. Caiwei closed the door as soon as she entered. She only heard the sound of someone talking inside, but she didn't hear Caiwei calling the dean.

Si Niang exclaimed, looked at the large pond in front of her, and then poked her head out to look at the students in the surrounding classrooms who were listening to the Master's lectures. She was surprised to find that the Master seemed to be all women.

This is something I have never encountered before. It turns out there are so many female wives~

In Siniang's small ambition list, the career options she can have when she grows up include the option of being a wife.

After waiting for a long time, the door did not open.

Si Niang was a little bored. Seeing that A Niang had no intention of stopping her, she moved a few steps outside and looked at the large martial arts arena behind the house.

There are students practicing horse riding on the field, and they are all big sisters to Siniang.

There is always someone who likes to wander off during class, looking around, catching a glimpse of a curious little head poking out from behind the room, and making a face at her.

Si Niang couldn't help but laugh, but soon realized that it was school time and suppressed her voice again.

The horse riding masters were also women. One was tall and the other was petite, but they were very good at horse riding and could even run on the back of a horse.

Si Niang couldn't bear to move her eyes and held her breath subconsciously, fearing that the horseman would fall off.

Qin Yao noticed her daughter's nervousness and also looked at her. It was just a show of skill, nothing interesting.

She retreated back to the wall and pricked up her ears to listen to the situation in the room.

Caiwei had not spoken since she entered. It was the other two voices who had been talking. Maybe the dean had other guests.

After waiting for another half a quarter of an hour, perhaps because she was afraid that they would wait too long, the door was gently opened. Caiwei came out quietly and said to the mother and daughter:

"You came at a bad time. The dean has important guests today. You may have to wait for a long time. Why don't you go back first?"

As she said that, seeing that the mother and daughter both showed that they wanted to continue waiting, Caiwei waved her hand to signal them to go to another room with her.

"Madam, can you write?" Caiwei took out a pen and paper, "We can leave the information first, and I will give it to the dean later."

The mother and daughter looked at each other, a little regretful, but the timing was not right, so they could only do it this way.

After all, it was unexpectedly smooth to get to this point today, and judging from Caiwei's attitude, it shouldn't be difficult for Si Niang to enroll.

Qin Yao nodded, took the pen and paper, "How should I write?" (End of this chapter)
