Chapter 307: Spending on My Son's Idol
Xu Qiutian doesn't see it that way: "Knowledge is stored in the brain, and after understanding, it is used to serve others."

"If I fail the exam because I didn't read the Four Books and Five Classics twice, it only proves that I didn't learn them thoroughly."

"I don't think copying books will affect anything. I want to copy books."

Wei Daru secretly praised in his heart, but said nothing on his face, just nodded.

"Students who need it can go to him to sign up. Now let's take a break for a quarter of an hour..."

Chen Yangzu looked at Wei Daru, then at Xu Qiutian, and then looked out the window, his mind in a trance.

Just now when I was debating with others, it turned out that the Prince and Miss Xiao were just outside the window!

I wonder what Miss Xiao thinks of me after hearing my debate?
Would she also feel that her thoughts and ideas were just illusions and castles in the air?
After reviewing the debate, Chen Yangzu had to admit: those poor students did know more about farming than he did.

He suddenly had a strong desire for knowledge.

Perhaps I should go to the farm to experience how real farmers live and work during my break at the academy...

Seeing that Xu Qiutian had already gone to the steward to sign up for copying books, he suddenly stood up and said, "I want to sign up for copying books, too!"

As soon as he said this, the children from the noble families were stunned.

When did the youngest son of the Chen family become short of the money for copying books? !
"Yang Zu?" His companions thought he had lost his mind and hurriedly pulled his sleeves.

Chen Yangzu looked down at his companion sitting beside him and said, "I want to copy books. I don't want to take the imperial examination this year. I want to copy books."

After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned again.

Chen Yangzu's knowledge was recognized by teachers even at Hongwen Academy.

He was also one of the few who passed the imperial examination and became a scholar when he was in his teens, which was a rare feat.

If I take part in the imperial examination this year and pass, I will be the youngest candidate!
He actually wanted to give up the scientific examination? !

"Yangzu?!" The companion's voice became louder, as if he wanted to wake up the "possessed" Chen Yangzu.

Chen Yangzu was particularly determined: "I want to copy the book, I'll sign up!"

The news that Chen Yangzu would not take part in the imperial examination this year spread like wildfire among the aristocratic families in the capital.

Every family was very curious: How would the head of the Chen family view this matter? What would he decide?

Everyone knows that whether Chen Yangzu will take part in the imperial examination or not is up to the head of the Chen family.

"Of course we won't agree to his boycott this year."

"That's right, the youngest candidate! What a temptation!!"

"Yes, yes. If they don't even try, can the Chen family be willing to lose such a great opportunity to stand out?"

However, to everyone's surprise, when Chen Yangzu returned home and told his father about his decision, the head of the Chen family simply asked him why.

Chen Yangzu talked about the debate that day, the presence of the prince and Miss Xiao, and his own thoughts.

"...I really don't know much about agriculture and sericulture. I want to take advantage of the holiday from the scientific examination to go to the farm for a while."

"I want to go to the fields and farm with them and experience the lives of the people..."

The more the Chen family head listened, the more serious his expression became: "Yes."

Chen Yangzu was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "Father? You agreed?"

The Chen family's patriarch's expression softened. "It's a good thing that you can start to think for yourself, have your own opinions, and have your own rules. As a father, I will naturally support you."

After Chen Yangzu left, the Chen family patriarch slowly broke into a big smile on his face, and finally he laughed out loud.

"Haha! Hahaha..."

Children can be taught!

This youngest son, only fifteen years old, is so outstanding?!
How could such a young person be willing to take the initiative to endure such hardships? !

The future is bright!
The future is bright!

What does it matter if I don’t take part in the science exam this year?
He is only fifteen years old. If he can make great progress through his own efforts and thinking, it will not be too late for him to graduate a few years later!
In three years he will only be eighteen years old!

not late!

It’s not too late! Only by accumulating strength and then making a breakthrough can you achieve real stability!

The long-servant Jinyan saw it all and was secretly shocked: the patriarch was so happy, it was obvious that the young master's action greatly satisfied the patriarch's wishes!
Who could have imagined that the steady young master would be defeated in such a short time? !

The Chen family patriarch tapped his fingertips on the table for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "Jin Yan?"

Jin Yan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to agree: "What do you want, Master?"

"Replace the windows in the young master's study with double-sided glazed windows."

"Here!"

The windows in the young master's study are quite large. It would cost a lot of money to replace them all!
After all, double-sided glazed windows can only be reserved by the future Crown Princess’ glazed shop.

"Go to Huangshan Pen and Ink Shop and buy ten sets of the Four Treasures of the Study in the name of the Chen family. Pick the most expensive ones."

Since Yang Zu admired Miss Xiao so much, why not give face to his youngest son? !
It's just a matter of money. The Chen family doesn't lack this little money or this little matter.

"Here!"

"From now on, all expenses in his courtyard will be handled in the same way as those of the eldest son. If there is any overspending, you can handle it quietly and use my account. You don't need to let others know."

"Yes!" The long-servant Jin Yan agreed and went to instruct the manager, but his heart seemed to be filled with turbulent waves.

On the surface, it's already outrageous to be as good as the eldest son, but now there is no limit?

Can the overspending be deducted from the head of the household's account? !
Doesn't that mean they are determined to train the young master to be the future head of the family? !

What about the eldest son?
The eldest son has been careful in his words and actions over the years, but he always regards himself as the future head of the Chen family!

This... forget it. This is not something a small attendant like me can worry about.

Xiao Yingchun had no idea that she had a little fan. After returning to the palace with Fu Chenan, she got the latest news.

Miao Wangyue said that he would invite the Prince and Miss Xiao to visit their home tomorrow.

The Miao family prepared the bed to welcome them.

That's a natural thing to do.

Fu Chenan asked people to prepare things and reported the situation to his father.

After listening to this, Fu Zhonghai thought about it, dismissed his attendants, and spoke to Fu Chenan alone.

"An'er, when you go there tomorrow, if the old man from the Miao family wants you to marry Miao Wangyue, what will you do?"

Fu Chenan was stunned: "Didn't Miss Miao clearly say that she would not marry?"

Fu Zhonghai shook his head: "This is a different time. Now you are the only prince of the Tianwu Dynasty."

"That Miss Miao...if we talk about her abilities and her mindset, she is indeed someone who can be a model for the whole country."

Fu Chenan was horrified: "Dad, if you say that, I won't dare go tomorrow!"

Fu Zhonghai glared at him: "Are you stupid?"

"I am just explaining this to you in advance, so that you won't be caught off guard tomorrow and make things difficult for Miss Xiao..."

Fu Zhonghai now always keeps the feelings of Xiao Yingchun, his future daughter-in-law, in mind.

Fu Chenan calmed down a little: "As long as you don't want me to marry her, I won't panic..."

I’m afraid that the father and son will not be of one mind and will have disagreements.

Knowing that his father didn't mean that, Fu Chenan relaxed and even started to talk nonsense.

"Then what do you say? If she really wants to be queen, why don't you marry her?"

"I think General Zhan has gone to the Ao family army to avoid you. It seems that there is no hope for you..."

Before he could finish his words, Fu Zhonghai threw a note at him: "Rebellious son!"

Fu Chenan fled in panic.
