As soon as the children saw Chen Jie, they all perked up and recited even more enthusiastically.
The parents of these children were all subordinates of Chen Jie. Many were told before they came, to study well and get chosen by the Hall Master, for a bright future awaited them.
Because of this, they shouted their recitations with the exuberance of being high on adrenaline.
Seeing the children like this, Su Yunjin was taken aback as if she thought of something, then turned to see Chen Jie with a helpless smile. Every time the children saw Chen Jie, they acted this way.
Even Ruirui was affected, now shouting his recitations loudly, afraid his brother-in-law wouldn't know about his ability to recite the Analects.
Only two people were unaffected: Sun Yong and Yin Hongmei. Both were reciting unhurriedly.
Chen Jie looked and nodded secretly; these two were quite promising.
