My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 92 Making a Decision
"En!" Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin nodded at the same time. Gu Chang and Wen Shangsheng also glanced at each other. They also wanted to hear what Lin Shuran had to say about the advantages and disadvantages of their respective academies?This is a new way of saying it!
Therefore, Lin Shuran simply said: "The Imperial College is in the capital, and Dongyan Academy is in Linjiang thousands of miles away. In terms of distance, you will be closer to home when you study in the Imperial College. If anything happens, the family members can help you as soon as possible." I'm going to you, but I'm going to Dongyan Academy to study, I'm afraid it will be too late when my family members get the letter!"

As soon as Lin Shuran finished talking about the "distance", Wen Shangsheng hurriedly said: "But sister, you don't have to worry about this. The Wen family is protecting Linjiang, and no one dares to bully them!"

Wen Shangsheng’s words are true. The previous headmen of Dongyan Academy were all members of the Wen family. The status of the Wen family in Linjiang and even the entire Jin Dynasty cannot be underestimated. The students of Dongyan Academy are also very popular among the locals in Linjiang. Love and respect, even in the academy, there are few students being bullied, and the school spirit has always been very good.

Lin Shuran looked at Wen Shangsheng with a slight smile, and said: "With my grandfather and third uncle here, I believe that no one would dare to bully the students of Dongyan Academy. What I want to say next is that although Dongyan Academy is far away, the academy always treats everyone equally. , no matter whether you are from a noble family or from a poor family, as long as you are talented, learned and virtuous, you will be respected and loved by everyone in the academy, and those who can enter the Imperial College must be of special status, the sons of nobles, grandchildren, civil and military officials Relatives may be among them, of course, getting to know these people will be of great help to your future career, but once you have a grudge against them, it may be more troublesome to deal with!"

Even in front of Gu Chang and Wen Shangsheng, Lin Shuran has no scruples to express her true thoughts. She hopes to help the two children realize the advantages and disadvantages of these two places. Maybe they still can't tell which is right for them. It is a better place to study, but they must realize that these two places are actually very different, so they must choose carefully.

Regarding Lin Shuran's statement, Gu Chang and Wen Shangsheng were also very surprised. They didn't expect Lin Shuran, a housewife, to point out the advantages and disadvantages of Guozijian and Dongyan Academy. I have to say that she sees things very thoroughly and meaningfully. If you are a man, you must be a rare talent.

Wen Shangsheng is very proud and happy to have such a smart niece, but Gu Chang feels very disappointed that he is not blessed to have such a daughter-in-law as Lin Shuran. If his son is still alive, it would be great!
Lin Shuran's words made Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin fall into silence again. They lowered their heads and thought for a long time, then Zhang Songlin seemed to have made a decision. He looked up at Lin Shuran and said, "Miss, I want to study in Dongyan Academy!"

Hearing Zhang Songlin's answer, Lin Shuran breathed a sigh of relief. In her opinion, Dongyan Academy is more suitable for Zhang Songlin than Guozijian. After all, this time and space pays attention to status and family status. The learning environment of Guozijian is not suitable for Zhang Songlin who was born as a slave. Said the pressure will be greater.

Wen Shangsheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhang Songlin with some relief. He has seen the bottom at such a young age, this kid is really good.

Gu Chang also just sighed lightly. Although he came here today to snatch students, even he thought that Dongyan Academy might be more suitable for Zhang Songlin than Guozijian. There is no difference between courts and courts. Intrigues between people, entanglements of interests and relationships, and conflicts and incidents caused by differences in status and family status can be said to be staged in the Imperial College all the time.

Then, everyone turned their attention to Xu Mingfan. He still hadn't made a decision until Lin Shuran reminded him: "Brother Fan, where do you want to go?"

Facing the expectant gazes of several people, Xu Mingfan finally raised his head. He looked at Gu Chang and Wen Shangsheng, and also at Zhang Songlin. Finally, he looked at Lin Shuran's gentle and encouraging eyes and said, "Mother, I want to go to the Imperial College. read!"

Xu Mingfan's answer stunned the four people present, and Gu Chang immediately showed a smile on his face, one family, and it will be easier to go back this time.

"Brother Fan, have you made up your mind?" Lin Shuran thought that Xu Mingfan would choose to go to Dongyan Academy like Zhang Songlin, but he chose Guozijian instead. She wanted to ask why, but there were outsiders around, so she endured it .

Xu Mingfan pursed his lips and nodded, indicating that he had really made up his mind. Seeing that he was determined to choose to go to the Imperial College, Lin Shuran also decided to respect his own wishes.

Both Gu Chang and Wen Shangsheng completed their "task" of coming to Xu's house, and then they got up and left. Zhang Songlin also returned to the farm. Back to Linjiang, I will take him with me when the time comes, and he has to go back to get ready, this is his first time traveling far away!
After everyone else left, Lin Shuran looked at Xu Mingfan who was standing there with his head slightly lowered and silent, and asked, "Brother Fan, can you tell me why you chose to go to the Imperial College? I really think that the Imperial College is better than Dong Is Yan Academy better? Or do you think Dongyan Academy is too far away from the capital?"

"Mother, are you disappointed that I chose Guozijian?" Xu Mingfan's face was tense, he was afraid that Lin Shuran would be disappointed.

Lin Shuran shook his head immediately, and said with a smile: "I said that I will support you no matter what decision you make. If you don't want to say the reason, don't say it. The Imperial College is in the capital, so you can come home often when you have time. These are always convenient!"

Seeing Lin Shuran say this, Xu Mingfan relaxed his expression and nodded, but he didn't tell Lin Shuran the real reason why he chose the Imperial College, except that he didn't want to be too far away from Lin Shuran and the others when he just felt at home. Now that his family is in trouble, he must strengthen himself as soon as possible so that he can better protect his family.

In his young cognition, Guozijian was the highest school in the Jin Dynasty, and there were either those who had read poetry and books, or the sons and grandsons of the dragon. In the future, it would be the place where civil and military officials came out, so he secretly made up his mind, To become the most outstanding student of the Guozijian, when he grows up, he will have an important place in the court of the Jin Dynasty, so that no one will dare to easily hurt the family he wants to protect.

At this time, Lin Shuran would never have thought that Xu Mingfan, who was only ten years old, had already made a grand vow in her heart. She thought that this child was a little bit family-loving and didn't want to go to Linjiang thousands of miles away!
