Dongming Ziyu's family temporarily moved to Fengcheng, but they did not give up the education of Dongzhou's children.

The school hired a Jinshi to be their teacher. Of course, he was not a Jinshi who became an official. He was a Jinshi who was expelled from his title and official position and was exiled to work in the jade mines. He was almost fifty. He couldn't work in the first place and even had one of his legs broken.

, almost losing the ability to work.

Dongming Ziyu had paid attention to him when he was in the mine. He had no problem with his character. He was exiled here because his family was on the wrong team in the battle to seize the inheritance. So he begged Chu Xing to let him recover from his injuries.

He taught the children at Dongzhou's house. Dongzhou's house was fenced and he was not allowed to leave the gate.

The Shangguan Mansion at the Jade Mine has sent a doctor over, and the infirmary has been temporarily handed over to a few of Shangguan Ruoli's apprentices. They can treat external injuries with no problem. When there is an opportunity, we will hire a doctor to go back.

The shop provided by Rongchuan was very large, with two separate rooms for delicious pastries, and a separate backyard. In the smaller courtyard, there was an oven, making snacks, and accommodation.

The environment was very messy. Dongming Ziyu's family did not live here, but still rented in Chen Mingdong's small courtyard. Because the exam period had passed, only his family lived in the entire courtyard.

Early the next morning, Dongming Ziyu went to the school to report. Shangguan Ruoli took Ling Yue and Wulang to find a school for Wulang. Wulang was five years old and knew a lot of words. The writing here was similar to the writing there. Shangguan Ruoli

You can teach even if you are away from home, but children still have to be with their friends.

As soon as he went out, he saw the carriage and horse team at Gu Lingyun's door, apparently about to leave.

Seeing this, Dongming Ziyu came forward with his family members to greet him.

Walking to the door, the handsome Gu Lingyun was coming out of the door, wearing a moon-white long-sleeved robe, a sky-blue jade belt around his waist, and the hem of the robe embroidered with green bamboo swayed in the wind, making anyone secretly praise his good demeanor.

Dongming Ziyu clasped his fists, "Brother Gu Xian, are you going back to Beijing?"

Gu Lingyun cupped his fists and returned the salute, "Brother Dong! I'm going back to Beijing today. See you in autumn."

Dongming Ziyu smiled and said: "Okay. Have a safe and smooth journey."

Wulang, like a young adult, said politely: "Uncle Gu, make sure to rest on the road and drink plenty of water."

Gu Lingyun smiled like a spring flower, pinched Wulang's little face and said, "Okay, Wulang is really sensible. I'll bring you some toys next time I come back."

Wulang hurriedly protected his little face and smiled, "Uncle Gu, just come to my house for snacks. You don't need to bring me a gift."

Gu Lingyun rubbed the little knot on his head, "How sensible!"

When Dongming Ziyu saw that there were still people seeing him off, he said, "Let's take our leave first. We're going to report to Fu Xue today. It's not a good idea to be late."

Wulang raised his little face and said, "I can't be late for school today."

Ling Yue held his little hand and joked: "You haven't found the school yet, it doesn't matter if you are late."

When Gu Lingyun heard this, he asked: "Brother Dong wants to find a school for Wu Lang?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "Yes, I want to study at a government school for two years and want to find a school for him."

Gu Lingyun tapped the riding whip on the palm of his hand and said with a smile: "That's right, let's go to my Gu family's clan school. It also recruits students from outside the clan. It is much better than the Jiang family's clan school."

After finishing speaking, he said to an old man with a pale face and a slightly plump face in the farewell team: "Brother, please take care of this matter."

As soon as the old man heard that Dongming Ziyu was going to study in a mansion, he knew that he was at least a junior student and would be willing to build alliances with officials in the family. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, he looks like a smart and smart boy."

Dongming Ziyu was also happy to make friends with the Gu family, cupping his fists and saying, "Thank you then."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

Today she was wearing a mountain green long coat with vertical collar and double lapels, a bamboo-colored gold-woven gauze horse-face skirt, a hosta on her head, and a red gold begonia flower walking around. She was young and dignified, and looked better.

better appearance,

Gu Lingyun's beautiful eyebrows furrowed. He was really kind, as if he had seen her often. Where had he met?

However, he couldn't keep staring at other women. No matter how confused he was, he only glanced at her and went to say goodbye to Dongming Ziyu.

Dongming Ziyu wanted to go to school and couldn't be late, so he left first. Shangguan Ruoli, Ling Yue and Wulang sent Gu Lingyun away and went to the Gu family school with the head of the Gu family.

Indeed, the Gu Clan School was much better than the Jiang Clan School in terms of scale and facilities. What surprised Shangguan Ruoli was that he saw parents giving away girls.

He asked: "Patriarch Gu, are these girls also coming to school?"

Patriarch Gu stroked his beard and said proudly: "Yes, our clan also attaches great importance to the upbringing of girls. We have invited female teachers and nuns from the palace to teach poetry, poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female celebrities' dancing.

, etiquette, and even dress.”

Shangguan Ruoli's eyes lit up and he asked, "Are you also accepting female students from outside?"

Patriarch Gu said: "Accept, however, students from outside the clan will be given two hundred taels of silver per year to practice."

This amount is not cheap, it is enough to earn an average farmer ten years of income.

Shangguan Ruoli asked Ling Yue, "Ling Yue, are you willing to come here to go to school?"

Ling Yue had studied for two years before, but she traveled with her parents all year round and learned bits and pieces, and she was always in the enlightenment stage.

Ling Yue thought for a moment and said, "Let's learn."

In the future, her father will be an official. She is not a high-ranking princess, but the daughter of a low-level official. She has to show respect to her father and cannot be ignorant of everything.

Wulang's big black eyes were filled with worry, and he asked Patriarch Gu: "Grandpa Patriarch, do male students also practice two hundred and two bunches a year?"

If it was so expensive, he would go back to the village to go to school. His husband was also a Jinshi, and he didn't even take a penny to study!

Patriarch Gu chuckled and said: "An enlightened little boy like you can earn twenty taels of silver a year to practice. After you pass the Tongsheng test, you will learn the Six Arts of the Gentleman, and then you will be able to practice more."

Twenty taels of silver is a lot, but compared with Ling Yue's two hundred taels of silver, it's acceptable.

Wu Lang was still a little distressed, and hesitantly said to Shangguan Ruoli: "Mom, let my sister read it. Why don't I go back to the village to study? Grandma will feel bad if she finds out."

The thought of leaving his parents made his little heart throb and ache, and his big eyes couldn't help but become misty.

Shangguan Ruoli put his hand on his small shoulder and said softly: "Don't worry about the money. Our dim sum shop, Qianli Ma Express, will be able to make a lot of money soon. If you have money, you can't just save it and not spend it. I will definitely let you

If you learn skills, your family will become better and better."

Wulang was a bitter boy, and he frowned in confusion, "But, I can go to school even if I go back to the village."

Shangguan Ruoli said seriously: "That's not possible, the child has to follow his parents. If Wu Lang is not around, my mother will shed tears thinking about you every day."

Ling Yue also said: "I will also cry thinking about it."

Wulang's little face was slightly red, his mouth was pursed, the corners of his lips were raised, and his big eyes were shining with joy. Between his mother and sister's tears and saving money, he made a decisive choice, "Then I will go to school here, I will definitely

I will work hard."

Patriarch Gu chuckled. This family's temperament is not like that of unsophisticated farmers. They will definitely have a bright future. No wonder Gu Lingyun takes care of them like this.

Although the Gu Clan Academy also accepts students from outside the clan, not just anyone can attend, either close relatives or officials' children. However, there is also an entrance test, and children who are too poor will not be admitted.
