Chapter 92: Making a Decision
"Hmm!" 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 said, the advantages and disadvantages of their respective academies? That's a new way of saying it!
So, Lin Shuran said simply: "Guozijian is in the capital, Dongyan Academy is thousands of miles away in Linjiang, in terms of distance, you will be closer to home when you enter Guozijian to study, if something really happens, your family can help you as soon as possible, and go to Dongyan Academy to study, I'm afraid that when the family gets the letter, it will be a little late!" ”
As soon as Lin Shuran finished talking about the "distance", Wen Shangsheng hurriedly said: "Sister Ran, you don't have to worry about this, there is the Wen family protecting Linjiang, no one dares to bully them!" ”
Wen Shangsheng's words are true, the successive chiefs of Dongyan Academy are all members of the Wen family, and the status of the Wen family in Linjiang and even the entire Jin Dynasty cannot be underestimated, and the students of Dongyan Academy are also very loved and respected by the locals in Linjiang, even in the academy, there are few students who are bullied, and its school spirit has always been very good.
Lin Shuran looked at Wen Shangsheng and smiled lightly, and said, "With my grandfather and third uncle here, I believe that no one dares to bully the students of Dongyan Academy." The next thing I want to say is that although the Dongyan Academy is far away, the academy has always treated everyone equally, whether you are from a high family or from a poor person, as long as you are talented and virtuous, you can be respected and loved by everyone in the academy, and the identity of being able to enter the country to study must be unusual, the children of the nobles of the kings and grandsons, the relatives of civil and military officials, may be among them, of course, getting to know these people will also be of great help to your future career, but once you have a grudge with them, things may be more troublesome to deal with! ”
Lin Shuran didn't have any scruples to say her true thoughts even in front of Gu Chang and Wen Shangsheng, she hoped to help the two children realize the advantages and disadvantages of these two places, maybe they still couldn't tell which was the better place for them to study, but they must be made aware that these two places are actually very different, and they should choose carefully.
For Lin Shuran's statement, Gu Chang and Wen Shangsheng were also very surprised, they didn't expect Lin Shuran, a woman in the house, to be able to point out the advantages and disadvantages of Guozijian and Dongyan Academy, I have to say that she sees things very thoroughly and insightfully, if she is a man, she must also be a rare talent.
Wen Shangsheng was very proud and happy to have such a smart niece, and Gu Chang felt very disappointed that he was not blessed to have such a daughter-in-law as Lin Shuran, if his son was still alive, how good it would be!
Lin Shuran's words also made Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin fall silent again, they lowered their heads and thought for a long time, and then Zhang Songlin seemed to have made a decision, he raised his head and looked at Lin Shuran and said, "Miss, I want to go to Dongyan Academy to study!" ”
Hearing Zhang Songlin's answer, Lin Shuran breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, in her opinion, Dongyan Academy is more suitable for Zhang Songlin than Guozijian, after all, this time and space is about identity, and the learning environment of Guozijian will be more stressful for Zhang Songlin, who was born as a domestic slave.
Wen Shangsheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhang Songlin with some relief, he had such a bottom at a young age, this kid is really good.
Gu Chang only sighed lightly, although he came to rob the students today, but even he thought that maybe Dongyan Academy was more suitable for Zhang Songlin than Guozijian, no one knew better than him that there was no difference between this Guozijian and the bloody court, the intrigue between people, the entanglement of interests and relationships, and the contradictions and incidents caused by the difference between identity and family status, it can be said that they are staged in Guozijian all the time.
Then, everyone turned their eyes to Xu Mingfan, who was still hesitant to make a decision, until Lin Shuran reminded him loudly: "Brother Fan, where do you want to go?" ”
Facing the expectant eyes of several people, Xu Mingfan finally raised his head, he looked at Gu Chang and Wen Shangsheng, and also glanced at Zhang Songlin, and finally looked at Lin Shuran's gentle and encouraging eyes and said, "Mother, I want to go to Guozijian to study!" ”
Xu Mingfan's answer made the four people present stunned, and Gu Chang immediately showed a smile on his face, one family, this time it's easy to make a difference.
"Brother Fan, have you thought about it?" Lin Shuran thought that Xu Mingfan would also choose to go to Dongyan Academy like Zhang Songlin, but he chose Guozijian instead, she wanted to ask the reason, but there were still outsiders, so she endured it.
Xu Mingfan pursed his lips and nodded, indicating that he had really made up his mind, and seeing that he was determined to choose to go to Guozijian, Lin Shuran also decided to respect his own wishes.
Gu Chang and Wen Shangsheng both completed their "task" to come to Xu's house, and then the two got up and left, Zhang Songlin also went back to the Grange, he wanted to tell his parents about it, and Wen Shangsheng will return to Linjiang in a few days, and he will take him with him when the time comes, and he will also have to go back to prepare, this is the first time he has gone far away!
After everyone else left, Lin Shuran looked at Xu Mingfan, who was standing there with his head bowed slightly and was silent, and asked, "Brother Fan, can you tell me why you chose to go to Guozijian?" Do you really think that Guozijian is better than Dongyan Academy? Or do you think Dongyan Academy is too far away from the capital? ”
"Mother, are you disappointed that I chose Guozijian?" Xu Mingfan's little face was tense, he was afraid that Lin Shuran would feel disappointed.
Lin Shuran immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "I said that I will support you whatever decision you make, if you don't want to say the reason, don't say it, Guozijian is in the capital, so that you can often go home when you have time in the future, and it is always convenient to get closer!" ”
When Xu Mingfan saw Lin Shuran say this, his expression relaxed a little and nodded, but he didn't tell Lin Shuran the real reason why he chose Guozijian, except because he didn't want to be too far away from Lin Shuran and them just because he just felt at home, the most important thing is that the Xu family is in trouble now, and he must make himself strong 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 it was either full of poetry and books, or dragon sons and dragon grandsons, and it was a place for civil and military officials to go out in the future, so he secretly made up his mind in his heart that he wanted to become the most outstanding student of Guozijian, and when he grew up, he would have an important place in the court of the Jin Dynasty, so that no one would dare to easily hurt the family he wanted to protect.
At this time, Lin Shuran would have thought that Xu Mingfan, who was only ten years old, had made a grand vow in her heart, she thought that this child was a little homesick and didn't want to go to Linjiang, thousands of miles away!
