153 Doubts
The waiter was stunned. “Your younger brother? You look so young, doesn’t that mean your younger brother is even younger? He can already go to the Prefectural Academy?”
Jian Qingqing nodded and proudly pointed at Little Ye. “This is my younger brother. He received the invitation letter from the Prefectural Academy yesterday and came today.”
The waiter looked at Xiao Ye in surprise. After a long while, he laughed and said, “Miss, don’t tease me anymore. How can such a young child go to the Prefectural Academy? The Prefectural Academy only recruits youths who are 13 years old and above! Besides, the school has already started. Why would they only come to report now?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe waiter was born and raised in Cairo, so he was quite clear about these things.

Jian Qingqing was also stunned. “But we only received the notice yesterday. Xiao Ye, don’t you think so?”
Xiao ye nodded and said seriously, “Brother, I didn’t lie to you. I went to the prefectural school to study.”
The waiter was also stunned when he saw how serious they were, he said in shock, “Are you sure it’s the Prefectural Academy? Not another academy? I can tell you with certainty that your brother will not be able to go to the Prefectural Academy. Everyone in Cairo City knows what conditions are required to go to the prefectural academy. Even the children of the old officials can not make an exception.”
Jian Qingqing could not help but get angry. “That’s just what you think. My Brother is extremely talented. How do you know that they will not make an exception to accept my brother?”
Seeing her attitude, the waiter was also angry. He could not help but mock, “What kind of toad thinks that they are beautiful? He looks so well-dressed. So he is a liar who only knows how to brag.”
After saying that, he threw the towel away and left.
Jian Qingqing was so angry that she wanted to leave, but she still had some doubts in her heart. Could there be something wrong? But who would go to the trouble of making fun of them? Moreover, the people from the united government or the Detian Academy had to do this show. It was definitely not an ordinary person.
Xiao Ye was a sensitive child. After being said that, he lowered his head and his eyes turned red.

There’s no need to care. Furthermore, if a dog bites you, do you still want to bite it back? Xiao Ye, remember this. If you want to become an examiner, the difficulties you will face in the future will be much greater than this. When that time comes, there will definitely be many people who will say that you are not good. Do you want to change yourself because of their thoughts? Xiao Ye, be firm in your own path. No matter what others say, outstanding people will not back down because of other people’s opinions.”
Xiao Ye was, after all, a smart child. He understood everything at a single point. After listening to these words, he nodded his head in embarrassment. “I understand, Sister. I just couldn’t hold it in just now.”
Jian Qingqing picked up a piece of meat and placed it into his bowl. “Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, let’s go and ask before it gets dark.”
Looking at Xiao Ye’s anxious expression, it seemed like he would not be able to sleep if he did not go and take a look today. Furthermore, Jian Qingqing was a little doubtful as well. She would feel better if she asked him earlier.
After eating, the two of them asked for directions all the way to the Prefectural Academy. In order to train Xiao Ye’s courage, Jian Qingqing told him to ask him himself.
Although Xiao Ye was very scared and his face was flushed red, he still walked forward and asked the guard, “Hello, I’m a student who came to the Prefectural Academy to report today. May I go in and report now?”
Xiao Ye’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s and the latter half of the sentence was barely audible. The guard exclaimed, “What did you say?”
Xiao Ye timidly turned his head to look at Jian Qingqing. His eyes were so red that they were about to cry. Jian Qingqing used her eyes to encourage him to continue asking.
