"As heaven moves forward, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement..."
As soon as Qin Nan returned home, he heard bursts of reading coming from inside the house.
Qin Nan couldn't help but smile and walked into the room. He saw Qin Yun holding a book and reading it loudly, looking like a great scholar.
When Qin Zhentian saw Qin Nan, he couldn't help but look happy and said, "Qin Nan, you're back? Today is the day for you and Song Changqing to compete. Have you finished the competition? Are you injured?"
Qin Zhentian circled around Qin Nan, with a worried look in his eyes.
Qin Nan felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, don't you think I'm doing well?"
At this moment, Qin Nan had already changed into a blue gown. Seeing that Qin Nan seemed to be fine, Qin Zhentian felt relieved and said, "So, you really defeated Song Changqing?"
Qin Nan smiled slightly, nodded, took out the one thousand taels of silver in his arms, and said, "Not only that, I also won a thousand taels of silver. Father, you and your brother will never have to suffer again!"
"One thousand taels?"
Qin Zhentian couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. One thousand taels of silver was not a small amount of money. Even if Qin Nan's family could live and eat every day in the future and buy a nice house, it would be enough.
Qin Nan put a thousand taels of silver notes into Qin Zhentian's hand and said with a smile: "Father, just use it casually. The head of the Ximen family has promised me that he will take good care of you in the future. Moreover, the head of the Ximen family has also promised me that he will give me
My younger brother is going to school at Fengyun Academy!"
"Fengyun Academy?"
Although Qin Zhentian is a commoner, he is very familiar with this name. I wonder which parent does not want their children to enter Fengyun College for further study. But let me ask, how many children in the world are qualified to enter Fengyun College.
Qin Yun, who was reading at the side, heard this and immediately put down his book and ran over excitedly, "Brother, is this true?"
Qin Nan touched Qin Yun's head and said with a smile: "Of course it's true. You can go to Fengyun College in the future. Isn't Qin Yungao happy?"
Qin Yun scratched his head and said with a smile: "Of course I am happy, but this means I will be separated from my father and eldest brother, and I can't bear to leave you."
When Qin Zhentian heard this, he touched Qin Yun's head and said with a smile: "Silly boy."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Zhentian showed a look of hesitation on his face and said to Qin Nan: "Qin Nan, it stands to reason that although the Ximen Mansion is extremely powerful in the Chu Kingdom, Fengyun College is one of the three major dynasties in our Tianxuan Continent.
In the capital of the Fengyun Dynasty, where should the power of the Ximen family not be able to extend?"
Qin Nan nodded when he heard this and said: "I had doubts like this at the beginning, but the head of the Ximen family said this to me personally in front of everyone. If he actually said it, then there would definitely be no
Fake. I estimate that the Ximen family may still have hidden power secretly, or perhaps the Ximen family has a relationship with the top management of Fengyun College."
Qin Zhentian nodded when he heard this. This is the only explanation he has at the moment.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Zhentian's expression changed again and he said: "That's not right. Why did the head of the Ximen family suddenly treat you so well? Is it because you defeated Song Changqing?"
Qin Nan pondered for a moment, then said: "The head of the Ximen family asked me to go to Chudu tomorrow to assist the young master of the Ximen family, and I agreed."
Qin Zhentian couldn't help but fell silent after hearing the words. After a long time, he nodded and said: "You are right to do this. Our Yunmeng County is just a small place. Although my father does not know how powerful you are now, the head of the Ximen family values it so much."
You, it shows that you have lived up to my father's expectations. You have brought glory to our ancestors, and my father is proud to have you as his son!"
"Father."
Qin Nan couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes when he heard this.
Qin Zhentian smiled and continued: "Although my father is a little reluctant to let you go, my father is happy to see you have such a promising future! You will leave tomorrow, and my father will prepare delicious food for you!"
Qin Zhentian said and walked towards the kitchen, but Qin Nan could see that the corners of his father's eyes were already filled with tears.
At this time, Qin Yun took Qin Nan's right hand, opened his eyes and said, "Brother, are you leaving tomorrow? I can't bear to leave you!"
Qin Nan smiled slightly, touched Qin Yun's head, and said: "Brother, I can't bear to leave you. You have to take good care of your father after he leaves. When you get to Fengyun College, I will take your father to see you when you have time!"
After hearing this, Qin Yun nodded obediently.
Soon, the food was ready, and before it was brought out, a fragrant smell came out.
Qin Nan and Qin Yun helped bring out the food. Although it was not luxurious, it was still very rich. It was many times better than what Qin Nan had eaten before entering Ximen Mansion. The family laughed and ate happily.
Qin Nan couldn't help but secretly think, how wonderful it would be if his family could stay like this forever, but Qin Nan knew very well that he needed to protect all of this with his own strength.
On the second day, rays of light shone on Qin Nan's face, making Qin Nan look more energetic.
His father and younger brother also got up early and insisted on sending Qin Nan out of the city gate. Seeing this, Qin Nan had no choice but to agree.
"Brother Qin Nan!"
At this moment, a sweet voice like an oriole came from Qin Nan's ears. Qin Nan turned around and saw a girl running towards him quickly, it was Zhou Yuling.
Qin Nan smiled slightly and said, "Yu Ling, you are here too!"
Zhou Yuling glanced at Qin Nan angrily and said, "You didn't tell anyone that you were leaving. If you, Qin Yun, hadn't told me, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."
Qin Nan chuckled and glanced at Qin Yun. Qin Yun shrank his neck and did not dare to look at Qin Nan.
Qin Yun smiled at Zhou Yuling and said: "What a lifelong regret. I just went to the capital for a while, and I will come back when I have time. I left in such a hurry this time, so I didn't have time to inform you.
Yu Ling, don’t be angry with brother Qin Nan!”
After hearing this, Zhou Yuling's expression softened, she took out a string of pendants and said softly, "Lower your head and I'll help you put it on."
Hearing this, Qin Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "No, I'm a grown man, and wearing a pendant doesn't look good!"
Zhou Yuling turned up her nose, turned around, and pretended to be angry.
Seeing this, Qin Nan had no choice but to smile helplessly, stretched out his hand to scratch Zhou Yuling's nose, and said with a smile: "Okay! It's from sister Yuling. Brother Qinnan can just wear it."
Qin Nan said and lowered his head.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuling smiled and said sweetly: "This is right."
After saying that, he put the pendant around Qin Nan's neck and smiled playfully at Qin Nan.
Qin Nan scratched Zhou Yuling's nose and said with a smile: "Okay, it's getting late, I should go."
Zhou Yuling insisted on sending Qin Nan off, but Qin Nan had no choice but to let his father, younger brother, Zhou Yuling, and Zhou Fu send him off.
Qin Nan and others came to the city gate, and at this time, a young man walked towards Qin Nan and said respectfully: "Master Qin, I am Hong Ren. I have been ordered by the head of the Ximen family to go to the capital of Chu with you."
Qin Nan nodded when he heard this, then turned around and smiled at Qin Zhentian and others: "Father, brother, Yu Ling, Uncle Fu, I'm leaving, take care of yourself!"
Qin Zhentian and others nodded, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Qin Nan immediately gritted his teeth, turned around, and left with Hong Ren. There were sounds of farewell behind him. But Qin Nan waved his hands without looking back, because Qin Nan was afraid that he would never be able to leave again if he looked back.
