nShen Ruyue said, “Qingzhi, let’s go in.”

nChu Qingzhi nodded and the four of them walked into the school.

nAs soon as they stepped into the school, they were stopped by the gatekeeper. “Are you students of the school?”

nChu Qingzhi sized up the gatekeeper. He was a young man in his mid-twenties. He was tall and had a righteous aura. “No, I brought my two younger brothers here to sign up.”

nThe gatekeeper said in a businesslike manner, “The signing-up period for the school has passed. Come back half a year later.”

nHalf a year later? Chu Qingzhi was naturally unwilling. “How long has it been since the sign-up period ended?”

nThe gatekeeper said, “It’s been three days. The students have already begun their lesson.”

nChu Qingzhi glanced at the disappointed brothers and asked the gatekeeper, “Can’t you make an exception?”

nThe gatekeeper said matter of factly, “I’m sorry, it’s the same no matter who comes. I can’t make an exception, but you have a chance.”

nChu Qingzhi asked, “What chance?”

nThe gatekeeper pointed to a wooden notice board in front of the door. There was a piece of white paper pasted on it.

n“There’s a question on the white paper that no one in the school can answer. If you can solve the question, I can let you in to see the dean. At that time, it will be up to the dean to decide.”

nChu Qingzhi looked over. “Ruyue, Xuyuan, Xuyao, wait for me here. I’ll go take a look.”

nShen Ruyue nodded solemnly. “Okay.”

nChu Qingzhi walked towards the noticeboard. There was only a circle drawn on the white paper.

nChu Qingzhi was confused

nWhat kind of strange question was this? It would be strange if anyone could answer it correctly!!!

nAfter complaining, Chu Qingzhi thought for a while and wrote.

nWithout rules, nothing could be achieved.

nWhen the passers-by saw Chu Qingzhi writing the answer, they surrounded her and looked at the white paper. As they looked at it, they could not help but reveal looks of surprise and admiration.

n“Brilliant! Brilliant!”

n“Why didn’t we think of that?”

n“When I didn’t see the answer, I found it extremely difficult to answer it. Now that I see the answer, I feel enlightened.”

nSomeone immediately went to tell the dean that someone had answered the question, and the answer was wonderful.

nWhen the dean heard this, he actually walked out personally. The students made way for him.

nThe dean came to the notice board. “Wonderful, wonderful!”

nAfter calming down, the dean looked at Chu Qingzhi. “Miss, is this the answer you wrote?”

nChu Qingzhi placed the pen on the table and said, ”1 wrote it.”

nThe dean bowed to Chu Qingzhi. “Miss, you’re a genius.” He straightened his body. “This question has troubled me for five years. Today, it’s finally solved. Thank you for it.”

nChu Qingzhi said humbly, “Dean, you’re exaggerating it.”

nThe dean thought to himself that this girl’s knowledge and talent could not be underestimated. “Miss, may I know why you are here at our school?”

nChu Qingzhi turned around and pointed at the two younger ones. “I brought my younger brothers here to sign up.”

n“Sign up? It’s simple.” The dean waved at Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao. “Come here.”

nChu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao did not move but looked at Chu Qingzhi.

nChu Qingzhi waved at the two of them before the two children ran over.

nChu Qingzhi introduced the dean to the brothers. “He’s the dean. Greet him.”

nThe brothers said in unison, “Greetings, dean.”

nThe dean sized up the brothers. One was nine years old, and the other was seven. They were both at the best age to study. With such an outstanding sister, the younger brothers were naturally not bad.

nHence, the dean wanted to test them. “Have you learned poems?”

nThe brothers nodded together.

nThe dean said, “Then recite one for me.”

nChu Xuyuan cleared his throat and said in a clear voice, “Wind scatters all the late autumn leaves; Wind hastens blossom and bloom of February; Wind churns up thousand-feet-wide waves; Wind sways myriad bamboos west and east..”

nIt meant that the wind could make the leaves of late autumn fall, and it could accelerate the blooming of flowers in early spring and February. When it passed by the river, it could set off huge waves, and when it blew into the bamboo forest, it could make the bamboo trees dance.

nWhen everyone heard this, they were stunned on the spot, overwhelmed by deep emotions.

nThe dean slowly retracted his shocked expression and asked softly, “Xuyuan, who wrote this poem you recited?”

nChu Xuyuan turned around and looked at Chu Qingzhi in admiration. “My Fifth Sister.”

nThe dean looked at Chu Qingzhi as if she was a god of poetry. “Miss, you know how to compose poems?”

nThis was an era where the imperial court was in turmoil. Everyone fought for power and benefits, and very few people focused on study. There was a lack of poems, and it had been many years since such an outstanding poem had appeared.

nChu Qingzhi calmly accepted the dean’s admiring gaze. “I wrote it for fun.”

nThe dean suppressed his excitement and asked, “Miss, did you make any other poems?”

nChu Qingzhi patted Chu Xuyao’s shoulder gently. “Recite one.”

nChu Xuyao was a little shy. Under Chu Qingzhi’s encouraging gaze, he said softly, “This is for the moon. When I was young, I didn’t know what the moon was. And thought it to be a white jade plate. Or maybe a mirror hanging from the sky, floating in the crystal blue clouds.”

nThe dean was overwhelmed with emotions. His eyes flickered, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to have relaxed a little.

nHe said excitedly, “Good poem, good poem. When I heard it, I felt like a bright moon appeared in front of me.”

nThe students looked at the three siblings in the crowd with admiration.

nAfter everyone felt the charm of the poem, the dean personally brought the brothers to sign up and assigned them to Class A.

nEvery time the school recruited students, they would be divided into classrooms. The best classroom was Class A, and the teachers in Class A were the best.

nAfter signing up, the dean sent someone to send the three siblings to the school gate and instructed the brothers to come to the school for class tomorrow..
