387 You’ve Misunderstood
The Royal Academy, as its name suggested, was for the children of the royal family.
Of course, there were many types of royal families. The children of princes, princes of the second ranks, marquesses, earls, and important court ministers from the six ministries could enter this school.
On the other hand, the children of the real royal family, the Emperor’s sons, do not attend the Royal Academy.
“I want to visit another place.”
!!
“You want to go to Ding Nuo Academy?” Qian Jiyun asked.
Ding Nuo Academy was a small school that did not even occupy a corner of the capital.
However, this did not mean that Ding Nuo Academy had insufficient teachers. As far as he knew, there were five elders in their 60s at Ding Nuo Academy. They were extremely knowledgeable, even surpa.s.sing the Royal Academy’s teachers.
However, they had always been unknown and only accepted a few students every year.
“How do you know that?”
An Jiuyue was surprised. He knew she wanted to visit Ding Nuo Academy, even though she did not show it.
“I heard from Yan Qin last night that Ding Nuo Academy can’t make ends meet. There’s a high chance they’ll close down,” Qian Jiyun said.
Setting up a new academy would definitely attract unnecessary trouble since An Jiuyue was now a.s.sociated with the Prince Zhan Yun Residence.
Those with ulterior motives might think of ways to stop An Jiuyue from opening the academy. After all, students were merely students. Who knew what would happen to them in the future?
Having the credentials to open a school could be considered simple, but it could also be difficult.
Meanwhile, acquiring an existing academy was much simpler. As long as they had everything prepared after the acquisition, they could spread the word that Ding Nuo Academy was connected to the Prince Zhan Yun Residence. There would be plenty of students coming to enroll.
An Jiuyue had overheard Yan Qin mention Ding Nuo Academy.
She knew Qian Jiyun had misunderstood. She lowered her head and chuckled.
“Jiyun, you’ve misunderstood. Ding Nuo Academy will not close down even after a few decades or even longer,” she said.
“Hm?” Qian Jiyun did not understand her.
The situation at Ding Nuo Academy was terrible. He had actually considered buying out a school himself last night, so he asked Yan Qin to check it out.
“You mean…”
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. His expression relaxed and he shook his head.
“It seems like Yan Qin is very good at exaggerating. He needs to improve his intelligence network.”
To think he believed Yan Qin’s words and felt there was nothing in the capital that Yan Qin didn’t know. He had no idea he wouldn’t understand a simple Ding Nuo Academy!
An Jiuyue smiled and nodded. “I’m going to Ding Nuo Academy tomorrow.”
Yan Nuo and Yan Qin arrived together. Qian Jiyun’s expression darkened when he saw Yan Qin.
“Greetings, Master and Mistress.” Yan Qin bowed to them and looked at his master seriously.
“Master, I’ve heard from Yan Nuo about De Yuan Academy. It’s my fault for not investigating thoroughly in advance—”
“Let’s not talk about this for now.” Qian Jiyun raised his hand to stop Yan Qin. “Yan Qin, did you inquire about Ding Nuo Academy yesterday?”
“Yes, Master. It’s located on the outskirts, some distance from the capital. Although it’s called an academy, it’s actually no more than a st.u.r.dy straw hut. It’s already very dilapidated.”
