Shu Yus clear voice came from the carriage shaft, Our family wants to send Dahu to school. We dont know as much as you do in this aspect. I wonder if Scholar Tang knows any teachers or suitable schools for us to refer to?

The old ladys eyes lit up and she agreed, Yes, yes, yes. Scholar Tang, do tell us about this.

Tang Wenqian was quite surprised, Send Dahu to school?

Yes, Yu said that we wont ask him to take the exam and become an official, only that he can read and understand the ways of the world. This way, it will be easier for him to make a life in the future.

Tang Wenqian looked at the figure outside through the gap in the curtain in surprise. They wouldnt ask the child to take the exam and an official, only that he could read and understand the ways of the world.

He didnt expect these words to come out of her mouth.

Tang Wenqian paused for a moment before he came back to his senses and said in a low voice, There are three elementary schools in the county, but one of them is particularly expensive and another one has a bad reputation. The remaining one is suitable, but the teacher of that school is related to the original county magistrate. Now that something has happened to the original county magistrate, the students of that school stopped going in fear of being implicated. As such, the school teacher simply suspended cla.s.ses temporarily. Its estimated that the school will only reopen after this matter is over.

The old lady frowned, Are there any others?

The teacher who taught me was knowledgeable and suitable. Unfortunately, he went to the prefecture to teach last year, Tang Wenqian said, There are also a few private schools in town, Jiang Village, and other places. However, those places are far away and inconvenient for Dahu to travel.

The Lu family didnt have many members, and Lu Erbai had injured his leg. He heard that they had even opened a shop, so they presumably didnt have enough manpower.

Going to school so far away would only be plausible if Dahu lived in the school. After all, it was unrealistic to pick him up every day.

The old lady was in a dilemma. In the past, she was troubled about not having money to study. Now, she had money but could not find a suitable school, which was troubling as well.

Shu Yu was already thanking Tang Wenqian, With Scholar Tangs a.n.a.lysis, we have a grasp of the situation. Well discuss it at home and see which school is suitable.

Alright. If you have any doubts, you can ask me.

As they spoke, the mule carriage arrived at Shangs.h.i.+ Village.

The Tang family was not far from the entrance of Shangs.h.i.+ Village, so Shu Yu drove the mule carriage straight to the entrance of the Tang familys house.

Tang Wenqian got out of the carriage and thanked the two of them.

The old lady handed him some meat and candy, This is a thank you gift for everyones help last time. You have to accept it. Everyone else has a portion. That being said, Scholar Tangs meat was obviously more than the others.

Hearing this, Tang Wenqian did not refuse, Thank you.

The mule carriage started moving again, but Tang Wenqian still stood there, watching the carriage go further and further away.

When Madam Tang came out, she saw her son staring at the road, lost in thought.

Surprised, she waved her hand in front of him. The next moment, she saw the meat in his hand and was instantly shocked, You, you bought meat? Didnt I tell you to buy some good food for yourself instead of bringing things home? Your father and I wont starve ourselves.

Tang Wenqian returned to his senses and walked inside with a smile, I didnt buy this. Its a thank-you gift from the Lu family. I came back in the Lu familys mule carriage just now.

The Lu family? Madam Tang frowned and sighed, The Lu family is rich now. To think their gift is such a big piece of meat. The second daughter of the Lu family is not bad, but shes quite fierce and does not have a good reputation.

Youd better not get too close to the Lu family in the future..
