This Is the Caliber of the Advanced Class!

Old Master Cui paid 200,000 taels of silver directly; in fact, the Cui Family's private treasury was just the tip of the iceberg.

Old Master Cui still owns many other businesses.

Shen Tao was happy, and so was Old Master Cui; only the rest of the Cui Family were unhappy.

Others suffered heavy losses.

Zhou Wanwan didn't care about all that and settled down in the Cui Family academy. Xie Guangyuan's lectures were really interesting and easy to understand.

Even Zhou Wanwan, who dislikes attending classes, listened with great interest.

Xie Guangyuan was speaking animatedly, and Zhou Wanwan listened with great interest.

Cui Wenyuan was completely confused. The teacher's explanation was quite good, but it was too profound.

Xie Guangyuan suddenly noticed Cui Wenyuan and said, "Tell me what this passage means?"

Cui Wenyuan stepped forward, his face flushed.

Those around Cui Wenyuan frowned and asked, "Who is this?"

"The third master of the Cui Family, Cui Wenyuan."

"Ah? It's Cui Wenyuan? What's he doing at the Cui Clan school? What qualifications does he have to be here?"

"How dare a piece of trash like him come to the clan school?"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, and Cui Wenyuan's face darkened.

Zhou Wanwan stood up and said, "I'll answer that question."

She answered Xie Guangyuan's question directly. Xie Guangyuan looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "How old is your child?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Six years old!"

Xie Guangyuan was dumbfounded. "A six-year-old child is studying in this class? This is the top class."

Zhou Wanwan almost burst out laughing; she never imagined that there were elite classes in ancient times.

She said with a smile, "I came because I thought what you said was very good."

People around him jeered, "Where did this kid come from? He really dares to come to our top class! Isn't he afraid of being kicked out?"

"Little one, this isn't a place for you to fool around. If you want milk, go back to your mother."

"Hahaha... This is hilarious! I never imagined that just anyone could come to our top class."

The people around burst into laughter. There were not only members of the Xie Family here, but also members of other prominent families and powerful figures who were on good terms with the Xie Family.

The top class has 32 students, all of whom are very academically gifted.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said:

"Is this the quality of the top students? I don't think it's anything special!"

"You're all people who judge by appearances. Is this how your teachers taught you?"

Everyone's expression froze.

Xie Guangyuan laughed and said, "You're quite an interesting kid, and your answer was very good. You can stay in the top class for now!"

Zhou Wanwan nodded, and Cui Wenyuan sat down, saying, "Master, I've embarrassed you."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:

"What's so shameful about that? Isn't it normal not to know the answer?"

Besides, you've learned far less than them, but that's a minor matter; I'll help you catch up later.

Cui Wenyuan sighed helplessly:

"I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity. That's just how the Cui Family is; they can't tolerate me."

"Later, the old lady will find out about this, and then I'll be kicked out."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Cui Wenyuan and said, "I have a way, are you willing to give it a try?"

Cui Wenyuan looked at Zhou Wanwan and asked, "What method?"

Zhou Wanwan said, "You'll find out in a moment."

Soon, Zhou Wanwan came up with a birdcage and said, "In a moment, you'll stand in that spot with the birdcage. Remember, you must stand in that spot!"

Cui Wenyuan nodded, holding a birdcage, and stood blankly under a tree.

He didn't understand what Zhou Wanwan meant either.

He did whatever his master told him to do.

He stood under the tree carrying the birdcage when he saw a group of people walking over and saying, "Isn't this Cui Wenyuan? He's being punished by standing here now?"

"That Cui Wenyuan is shameless; a son of a concubine dares to go to the top class."

"The key issue is that when the teacher asked him a question, he couldn't answer it. With his level of ability, he couldn't even pass the preliminary examination for the lowest level, yet he has the nerve to go to the top class?"

Cui Wenyuan hung his head, not daring to say a word.

Then we saw Old Master Cui walk over, or rather, he was blown over by a gust of wind.

He didn't know what was wrong with him today; his legs wouldn't obey him.

"Why are my legs so uncooperative today? I clearly wanted to go to the teahouse, how did I end up here?"

Then they saw a group of people pointing and whispering about Cui Wenyuan.

Old Master Cui asked, "Who's that with their head down?"

The butler standing nearby said, "That's Cui Wenyuan, your illegitimate son."

Old Master Cui frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"

The butler sighed and said, "Those people have been preventing the Third Young Master from attending classes at the clan school. Today, he went to the honors class, and they can't tolerate him."

Old Master Cui walked up to Cui Wenyuan and said, "Your name is Cui Wenyuan?"

Cui Wenyuan raised his head, paused for a moment, and said, "Yes..."

Steward Cui said from the side, "Third Young Master, this is your father, quickly greet him!"

Suddenly, the birdcage in Cui Wenyuan's hand was lifted, revealing the bird inside.

Old Master Cui looked down and exclaimed with delight:

"Red-throated chin, wow, it really is a red-throated chin, and a top-quality one at that!"

What's your name again?

Cui Wenyuan said, "My name is Cui Wenyuan."

Old Master Cui looked at him with a smile and said, "Wenyuan! What a fine name! Where did you come from, bird?"

Zhou Wanwan walked over and said, "This bird was caught by Cui Wenyuan. He said he wanted to give it to you."

Old Master Cui laughed heartily and said, "Good child, truly a good child! Where do you live now?"

Cui Wenyuan replied softly, "I am currently living in a side courtyard."

Old Master Cui frowned and said, "No matter what, you are still a young master of the Cui Family. How can you live in a place like that? Move back immediately."

Steward Cui said, "Then I'll arrange for him to stay in the east wing!"

Old Master Cui said:

"Let's put him in the west wing! It's closer to the clan school."

This is the Cui Clan family's clan school. If the young master of the Cui Family wants to go to school, does he have to depend on other people's opinions?

Cui Wenyuan handed the birdcage to Old Master Cui and said, "Father, I will definitely study hard."

That "Father" made Old Master Cui happy. "Good boy, go and get him some clothes, some writing brushes, ink, paper, and some silver."

The butler nodded and quickly sent someone to make the arrangements.

Only after Old Master Cui left did Cui Wenyuan breathe a sigh of relief and follow the steward to the west wing.

The west wing has its own courtyard, and Cui Wenyuan was assigned a courtyard, which was much larger than the side courtyard.

Chief Steward Cui said with a smile:

"Young master, you will be staying here from now on. I have brought more than 20 servants with me."

"Take a look and decide which ones to keep by your side to serve you."

Zhou Wanwan said, "Keep these three, take the rest."

Chief Steward Cui's eyes sharpened. "Very well, then I'll take my leave."

Cui Wenyuan looked at the large courtyard and said:

"Master, I'm very flustered."

If that old hag knew I lived in such a big yard, she would definitely make my life miserable.

Zhou Wanwan said:

"Now that Old Master Cui wants you to live in this courtyard, she doesn't dare to do anything to you."

At most, they'll leave you without food and stop paying your wages. What else can they do?

Cui Wenyuan said, "That's true, but I really don't have the money."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Cui Wenyuan and said, "How about this? You can learn to write books, or you can copy books. I think your handwriting is pretty good."

"Write a book? What kind of book?"

Zhou Wanwan said, "Of course, it's writing storybooks. I think you can make money writing storybooks."

Cui Wenyuan quickly waved his hand and said:

"No, no, storytelling isn't my forte, but I can do embroidery."

But I don't know if my skills are actually enough to make money?

The previous embroidered items were all sold through people in the household.

Cui Wenyuan quickly found some embroidery pieces.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the embroidery and said:

"Wow, this is even better than what the embroiderers in our embroidery shop do."

I'll ask around and see if these embroidered items can be sold."

Cui Wenyuan said, "Thank you, Master."
