Dahu walked to Master Wens side nervously. The latters smile became even gentler.

Master Wen had already heard from Madam Liu that Dahu was going to enroll in the school and was quite pleased with it.

However, he still had to ask the little boy some questions.

At first, the little boy would turn around to look at Shu Yu uneasily, but later on, he slowly eased up and started to answer Master Wens questions smoothly.

Master Wen was pleasantly surprised. The child had just started learning to read, but he was very efficient. Although he stumbled while reciting the Three-Character Cla.s.sic, he had already memorized it, and his handwriting was also decent.

Teacher Wen was overjoyed and began teaching on the spot.

Dahus comprehension was indeed quite good. Most importantly, he liked studying.

Many studied with a purpose, either to become a scholar or because their families wanted them to have a bright future. They didnt like studying but had no choice but to sit down and learn.

However, for active five-year-olds, sitting quietly for half a day was already very uncomfortable, let alone trying to make them interested in boring learning.

In contrast, Dahu had always been quiet since young. Furthermore, he was filled with a yearning and a love for reading. Plus, he did not have the pressure to partic.i.p.ate in the imperial examinations.

As such, he was like a sponge instead, crazily absorbing the knowledge that Master Wen was teaching him.

Shu Yu quietly watched the two of them. In this peach blossom forest, where the breeze was gentle and fragrant, it was especially comfortable and peaceful.

She liked such scenarios.

Unfortunately, the harmonious scene was soon broken.

Lady Lu? Is Miss Lu Shuyu here?

An urgent shout interrupted Master Wen and the scholars who were in cla.s.s. Shu Yu also frowned and turned her head to look.

The person looked familiar, and she immediately remembered.

It seemed to be the scholar who discussed knowledge with Tang Wenqian under the peach tree. Could it be that something happened to Tang Wenqian that made him come and look for her?

Shu Yu stood up and replied, I am Lu Shuyu. Whats the matter?

The scholar heaved a sigh of relief and ran over in a few steps. He panted slightly as he said, Lady Lu, something has happened. Something has happened to your Third Uncle. Hes stuck in the water and the others wont let him come up. Wenqian is negotiating with them, but your Third Uncle asked me to come here to get you.

In fact, he did not quite understand the use of getting a teenage girl to go. It wasnt like she could beat the others.

Shu Yu frowned, Hes being stopped by others from getting out of the water? Wouldnt that kill him?

She quickly turned her head and said to Master Wen, Teacher, I have to go over and take a look. Please take care of Dahu for the time being. Ill come back immediately after Im done.

The other people present heard the scholars words as well. Madam Liu quickly nodded, Go along then, well keep an eye on Dahu.

Dahu opened his mouth. He wanted to follow his sister, but he knew that it would be useless even if he went. Rather than dragging Second Sister down, it was better to stay with the teacher and let Second Sister rest a.s.sured.

Shu Yu patted his head, Dont worry. Ill be back soon.

After saying that, she lifted the hem of her dress and walked out of the pavilion, leaving with the scholar hurriedly.

When Master Wen saw Dahus worried expression, he knew that Dahu couldnt sit still anymore, so he said, Lets go over and take a look. Well just follow them slowly.

Yes, yes, Dahu immediately nodded.

Master Wen asked the others to pack up while he and Madam Liu brought Dahu over first..
