784. The Little Buns Went to School(5)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad

At present, Hanling School was still in the trial operation stage. In addition to the branch in the Ling village, there was only one more in the capital. Originally, the one in the Ling village should be the head quarter, but after the branches were opened in all cities, many core orders had to be issued throughout the head quarter. So, Chu Yunhan and Ling Jingxuan both thought that the branch in the capital city should be regarded as the head quarter. Maybe from the second half of the year, Hanling School would gradually open branches throughout the whole kingdom.

Normally, Chu Yunhan and Ling Jingxuan didn't have time to manage the school. The one who was in charge was servant of Chu Yunhan when he married Yan Shengzhi. It was a man called Chu Zhong, in his forties. The ones who assisted him was his two sons, two famous tutors Hanling School hired and the two martial arts masters. The rest of the tutors were mostly civil or martial juren. Sometimes, bachelors from the imperial academy would come to give classes to the students of senior class and see if they could find some students with potentials. Generally speaking, the operation of Hanling School was quite modernized. There was no strict leader-member relation, but everyone had to obey the rules.

"Your Highness, your crown princess, Crown Princess Hua, Highness Fu."

Ling Jingxuan and others took the kids directly to the office on the second floor of the interest-oriented area. The one who was responsible for receiving them was a man in his forties and looked smart and capable. He should be Chu Zhong. The two young men behind him looked at most twenty years old, a little similar to him. It should be his sons. As for the two scholars and martial arts masters, looked like they were not around.

"Save the courtesies. I guess His Empress should have said that as long as one comes in here, they are equal, whether it's the prince of the civilians."

If there was a hierarchy in the school, then kids of those poor families would be bullied all day! Although it was impossible to avoid it completely, they should at least try their best.

"Got it. Your highness. This way, please."

Saying no, Chu Zhong and his two sons didn't dare to go too far. The three of them stepped aside and bowed to make a 'please' gesture. Some things were deeply rooted in the heart, and Ling Jingxuan didn't force them. He took the children into the office with Yan Shengrui who was pushing the stroller. The tutors' office was different from a modern one. Several tables were squeezed together, and the four walls were made into bookshelves, with a lot of books on them, the desks were placed against the bookshelves. There were two chairs in front of each desk, and a rectangular table in the middle, looking like a western table, but it was longer than that. It should be used for the tutors to have discussions.

Ling Jingxuan, Yan Shengrui and others sat down on one side of the long table. As the dean of the school, Ling Jingxuan naturally sat in the main seat, while the three of them stood on the other side. Although they were nominally the leaders of the school and on behalf of His Empress, they were just servants. How could they be really on an equal footing with his highness?

"Have a seat. Do you want me to talk to you with my head up?"

As for their strong servility, Ling Jingxuan didn't know how to complain. He just pouted to the seats next to him. Chu Zhong raised his head and saw that the little Dumpling was already taken out of the stroller, and Highness Sheng who was teasing the little Dumpling, and then Highness Fu and his wife. After hesitating for a moment, he pulled out a chair and sat down.
