Xue Dafu sat at the side and looked at the invitation that Pei Dongyu had written for Xue Yan. He chuckled. “People who went to school are really different. Your friend actually invited you to dinner through a letter. If you give this to me, I wouldn’t know what to do with it at all.”
“That’s why you’ve never gotten one.” Liu Guixia smiled.
“Haha.” Not only did Xue Erfu and the others laugh, but Xue Dafu himself also laughed.
“If I had known earlier, I would have made you two better clothes.” Liu Guixia
looked around. In the end, she was still dissatisfied with Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s best clothes.
In a farmer’s village, this was definitely a good fabric that farmers might not even be able to wear even in their dreams.
However, for the rich families in the town, the quality was much worse than what they usually wore.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other. They had been standing here for a long time. He knew that he had to wear clean and appropriate clothes for the banquet. He was not fussed about wearing quality clothes, as long as they were appropriate, that would be enough for him.
“Mother,” Xue Erfu also felt helpless. “His friend is not that kind of person.
Those who are going will be his teachers and cla.s.smates. It doesn’t matter if Xue Yan’s clothes are of poor quality. No one in the academy has ever laughed at Xue Yan. Don’t make it so that you can’t sleep at night.”
“He’s right,” laughed Xue Dafu. “Alright, let’s just leave them to it. I don’t care anymore. I’m going to wash up and sleep.”
However, Liu Guixia said, “How can this be the same as before? In the past, we had no choice. Our family was poor, but now we can at least afford two sets of good clothes, right? It’s also my fault for being careless. I didn’t expect this. Otherwise, I would have made two sets of better clothes for them. No, no matter if there will be a next time, I have to make two sets of better clothes for
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan in two days.”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Xue Erfu had no objections. “Can we forget about this for tonight? Jiang Yue and Xue Yan should be sleeping soon. They still have to go to town tomorrow, don’t make them stay up, they’ll feel tired.”
“That’s true.” Liu Guixia was no longer bothered by the matter of clothes.
The next day, after eating breakfast and staying at home for a while, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan got into the carriage that Erfu drove and were sent to Pei Dongyu’s house in town.
The family even helped to prepare some things for the Pei family.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the entrance of the Pei residence, a servant quickly came down the steps. Xue Erfu handed the things he had prepared to the servant and asked him to bring them in.
The servant also invited Xue Erfu in. Xue Erfu smiled and said that he still had something to do, so he would not go in. Then, he drove the carriage away.
He also told the two children that he would pick them up in the afternoon.
When Xue Yan and Jiang Yue saw Erfu leave, they prepared to go up the steps and follow that servant in.
Unexpectedly, another carriage arrived at this time.
There were still five others waiting behind.
They came one by one.
Xue Yan recognized the carriage the moment he saw it. He felt a lot of emotions in his heart, but he still subconsciously said to his Jiang Yue, “Those must be the teachers.”
On the way here, Jiang Yue had heard from Xue Yan that when Xue Yan was in the academy, five teachers had taught him. One was the Dean of Shengming Academy, Mister Zhang. The others were the Four Sages of Shengming
Academy. They were Mister Ji, Mister Qi, Mister Yan, and Mister Lu. Each of these four had their own unique skills. Mister Ji was good at playing the zither, Mister Qi was good at playing chess, Mister Yan was good at calligraphy, and Mister Lu was good at painting.
As long as one studied in Shengming Academy, they would definitely be taught by these five teachers.
When another servant saw that the gentlemen’s carriage had arrived, he hurriedly went in to report the situation. Pei Dongyu quickly strode out, and his cla.s.smates and friends who had already arrived also rushed out..
