After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Chapter 45 Preparing for the Academy

Gu Nanxi didn't buy the book, and she had to cheer up two groups of people in a row. She was exhausted both physically and mentally. She secretly swore that the next time someone called her out, she would definitely not leave the house!

While Gu Nanxi was lying on the bed, Su Yunyan was busy taking care of household affairs and supervising the small kitchen to make some delicious food for Gu Nanxi.

"Little sister, is mother asleep?" Su Xuanming peeked in at the kitchen door.

Su Yunyan instructed the cook: "This ginkgo and apricot crucian carp soup should be cooked over low heat until the fish soup turns milky white, then turn off the heat."

Su Yunyan washed her hands in the basin, then dried them carefully with a towel before walking out of the kitchen: "Brother, mother hasn't slept yet, but she was tired today, so she went to bed early."

Su Xuanming felt guilty and waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't bother you, mother. Little sister, I decided to open my own academy."

Su Yunyan paused, then looked around. Seeing that no one heard it, she grabbed Su Xuanming by the collar and pulled him to the corner.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you have a high fever? Or were you beaten by Li Shaoyan?"

After saying that, Su Yunyan touched Su Xuanming's forehead with the back of her hand.

Su Xuanming couldn't break free, and didn't want anyone to see this embarrassing scene, so he had to explain patiently: "Little sister, I don't have a fever, and I didn't get beaten. I thought it over carefully."

"Last time, when you wanted to drop out of school, you said you had thought it over carefully and would never regret it."

Su Xuanming choked up: "I swear, I'm serious this time!"

Su Yunyan didn't believe it: "You haven't sworn enough?"

"Don't say that, or I'll cry in front of you!"

Hiss! What a vicious threat!

Su Yunyan quickly let go of her hand, fearing that if she was a second late, she would be greeted by a torrential flood.

Su Xuanming was delighted to be free and wanted to run away, but when he remembered that he still needed help from others, he had to continue pestering: "Little sister, it was my mother who agreed to open the academy."

Su Yunyan looked Su Xuanming up and down, and said suspiciously, "Don't try to trick me just because I'm not smart."

Su Xuanming bowed repeatedly: "How can I comfort you? Do you still remember what my mother said today? My mother said that she believes in Taoism! What is Taoism? Taoism follows nature, everything is up to the heart! My heart tells me that I don't want to go to that useless private school, I want to open my own academy!"

Su Yunyan was worried that the cook wouldn't be able to make the crucian carp soup well, so she kept looking into the kitchen: "If you want to open it, open it. Why are you looking for me?"

Su Xuanming hesitated, his face flushed like the sunset: "Well, little sister, big brother is a little short of money. Can you see if..."

"No!" Su Yunyan refused categorically, "Public money cannot be touched. My private money has other uses."

Su Xuanming was too embarrassed to continue pestering his sister, so he walked dejectedly into the night step by step.

"Wait!" Su Yunyan caught up with Su Xuanming and stuffed a purse into Su Xuanming's palm, "I forgot to give it to you. Mother has already prepared the silver and money, let me give it to you."

After saying that, Su Yunyan hurried back to the small kitchen and stared at the crucian carp soup.

Su Yunting stood there in a daze.

The bright red embroidered purse with the Three Friends of Winter, bulging with stuff, lay quietly in the palm of her hand...

The next day, ten sworn brothers gathered at Chen Yixuan's house.

On the big round table, there was a purse with the words "Three Friends of Winter" and a stack of silver bills.

Jiang Guanghai's tone was full of envy: "Brother, godmother is telling you that without going through the bitter cold, how can you smell the fragrance of plum blossoms? She has confidence in you!"

Chen Yixuan counted the banknotes and couldn't help but exclaimed: "A full 1000 taels! Big brother, godmother is so good to you! You didn't even ask for it, and godmother gave you 1000 taels directly!"

Chen Yixuan was too embarrassed to say it out loud. What's the difference between using silver bills to open a private school and throwing the silver bills into the water?

Su Yunting said sourly: "Humph, mother is really biased! I had a hard time asking her for 100 taels, but she didn't even blink an eye and gave you 1000 taels directly!"

Li Mingde put his arm around Su Yunting's shoulders and said with a smile, "Don't be angry, fourth brother. We can also recruit martial arts teachers for our private school. The Imperial College has martial arts schools, so we can't be too bad!"

"Haha, that's right! We will beat up Songshan Academy with our fists and kick Imperial College with our feet. We will run the academy well and strive to be the best. Then, we will impress Li Shaoyan and the others!"

"Should we give the academy a name?"

"Brotherhood Hall?"

Su Yunting strongly objected: "It sounds like an escort agency, not a college."

"What if it's called Nanxi Academy? After all, it was funded by my godmother."

Su Xuanming firmly disagreed: "If this is done well, it will bring honor to my mother. If it is not done well, won't it cause trouble for my mother?"

Jiang Guanghai suggested: "Why not call it Baichuan Academy? The sea embraces all rivers! We are ten brothers with different personalities. Isn't it because of the sea that we can gather together?"

"Good! This name is great!" Chen Yixuan clapped his hands in praise. "A hundred rivers rush and eventually converge into the sea. First, it shows the academy's tolerance. Second, there are thousands of students, and each has his own ladder to success!"

……

Gu Nanxi slept all night, and when she woke up again, she saw Su Yunyan guarding her bedside, holding the second part of "The Marquis and the Men Behind Her" in her hand, reading it with great interest.

Huh? Part 2?!

"Yunyan! Where did your notebook come from?!" Gu Nanxi instantly became alert.

Su Yunyan frowned, and recalled as she read: "Early this morning, a servant came to my door and said that it was sent by Wen Yu. Mother, you and Wen Yu both said that there is a strong spirit of pride in this book, why didn't I see it?"

Gu Nanxi hurriedly leaned over to take a look, and saw that Su Yunyan's eyes were still on the first page!

Fortunately, The Incense Collector did not continue from the previous episode, but instead wrote about an assassin breaking into the tavern and breaking the ambiguity in the room.

"She never expressed her resistance, nor did she dare to express it." Gu Nanxi took back the notebook and hid it under the quilt carefully.

In order to avoid Su Yunyan's further questioning, Gu Nanxi changed the subject: "What are your elder and second brothers doing? If your elder brother does not plan to study abroad, then you should take the banknote back."

Su Yunyan blinked her eyes and said honestly, "I gave the banknote to my elder brother yesterday. He wants to build his own academy. Mother, you don't have to bring up the matter of other places just to urge my elder brother. I see that my elder brother is very determined this time! He will definitely not let you down!"

For the first time, Gu Nanxi didn’t understand what Su Yunyan was saying.

Yunyan meant that she supported Xuanming in building the academy? !

"Have they started preparing?" Gu Nanxi said in a heavy tone.

Su Yunyan helped Gu Nanxi stand up: "Well, the eldest and second brothers went out early, saying that they were going to find a place to build a college."

"Can you hire a teacher?"

Su Yunyan shook her head: "No."

"Are students available for recruitment?"

Su Yunyan nodded heavily: "At present, there is only my eldest brother! He said that if my second brother and I are willing, we can enroll for free."

Gu Nanxi looked up at the sky. Only in this way could she suppress her tears. It was so unfair for him to lose 1000 taels of silver!
