The old lady was stunned. “Didn’t Scholar Tang say that there’s no suitable school?”
“Yes.” Shu Yu smiled and said, “It’s the third school that Scholar Tang mentioned last time. I’ve investigated it. The teacher of that school is indeed not bad. Although classes are temporarily suspended, it definitely won’t be for long. Lees register first. We can go directly when school starts.”
The old lady didn’t know anything about such things. If Shu Yu said there was no problem, then there definitely wouldn’t be a problem.
“0-0kay. Bring Dahu over to take a look first.”
Shu Yu then packed her things and prepared to leave. Lu Sanzhu had nothing to do, and he loved to join in the fun. He had never seen such a “high-class” thing in his life, so he hurriedly followed her.
Shu Yu did not stop him. Her father’s legs were inconvenient, so it was good to have an elder around.
The two of them quickly went to the shop. Dahu was lying on the counter, reading with Lu Sanzhu.
When he saw Shu Yu coming over, he quickly ran over and said, “Shu Yu, I recognized a few words today. Help me take a look and see if I wrote it correctly.”
As Dahu spoke, he pulled Shu Yu over, but Shu Yu did not reciprocate. “Shu Yu?”
“I’m going to take you to see the teacher.”
Dahu’s eyes widened and he was slightly excited. “I-I’m going to start studying?
“More or less. We’ll talk about it after we meet the headmaster.”
Dahu nodded vigorously. “I’ll go in and change my clothes.”
Lu Sanzhu’s eyes lit up as well. “Have you chosen a school?”
Shu Yu nodded and stood by the counter. She said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Father, I’ve asked around. The headmaster of Shuxian Academy is indeed familially related to the former county magistrate, but they are distant relatives. Moreover, the headmaster has a grudge against the former county magistrate. The former county magistrate could not be caught so easily without the headmaster’s contribution.”
Ever since Shu Yu learned about the fact that Meng Yunzheng and Lord Xiang knew each other, she simply asked him about the situation of the school to see if there would be any trouble entering the school.
Meng Yunzheng had told her that although Xiang Weinan had made a contribution to the former county magistrate’s incrimination, in order to reduce unnecessary danger, Xiang Weinan had used the alias “Master Wen” and did not reveal his true identity to the public.
Meng Yunzheng also said that Xiang Weinan had a good character, and there was no harm for Dahu to study at his place.
He obviously had a good understanding of Xiang Weinan’s character.
Shu Yu trusted Meng Yunzheng’s judgment, so she chose Shuxian Academy without hesitation.
Shu Yu couldn’t tell the old lady about those things, but she still had to tell Lu Sanzhu so that he would know what to do.
“Father, these are all government secrets. It’s fine as long as we know it in our hearts.”
“I understand. Since Shuxian Academy is a good place, then tell Teacher Wen properly. I’m just worried because Dahu hasn’t read for a few days. He might not be accepted by Master Wen.”
“It’s fine. The School of Books and Virtues is meant to enlighten students. Even if they don’t know a word, as long as Teacher Wen thinks it’s okay, then there’s no problem.”
As they spoke, Dahu also came out from inside.
Not only did the little fellow change into a clean and tidy scholar robe, but he also had a bag slung over his shoulder.
This bag was made for him by Daya. Not only did he have it, but Sanya also had it.
The two children liked it very much. Now, in Dahu’s bag, there was a notebook and a textbook. He came over excitedly and held Shu Yu’s hand.
“Shu Yu, I’m ready.. A-Are we leaving?
