Logically speaking, Master Yu had also seen Lu Sanzhu in the pavilion in the Peach Blossom Forest.
However, at that time, Master Yu, Master Wen, and the others were all focused on their studies and did not pay attention to them. As for Lu Sanzhu, he left after getting impatient.
When Lu Sanzhu got into trouble, the only ones who went to the lotus pond were Master Wen and his wife. Master Yu didn’t have much of an impression of Lu Sanzhu.
As a result, when Lu Sanzhu brought Dabao to register a few days ago, neither of them recognized each other.
The two of them did not expect that they had already met once before.
Shu Yu was very polite to Master Yu. “The child at home is naughty. Thank you for your trouble.”
Master Yu smiled gently. “Dabao is a very smart child. Moreover, after listening to Shu Yu’s words just now, he suddenly found a way to fool, no, to teach Dabao.
Madam Liang, who was standing at the side, immediately had an expression that said, “See, I didn’t say anything wrong just now, right? That’s what the Headmaster said about Dabao.”
Master Yu was also very humble. “Your children are all pretty good. This is my first time taking in a student. I’m quite happy to have someone like Dabao. If he set his mind on studying, not only would he be able to pa.s.s the scholarly examination in the future, but he would also be able to pa.s.s the imperial examination. At that time, my dream will be fulfilled.”
Madam Liang was even happier when she heard this.
Shu Yu remembered that Madam Liang had said that Master Yu had always planned to take the examination. She didn’t know why he suddenly thought it through. Now, he didn’t take the examination and only planned to open a private school to live in.
“Perhaps, after changing one’s state of mind and relaxing, one would have a different feeling instead. When the time comes to partic.i.p.ate in the imperial examinations, perhaps there would be unexpected gains?”
Master Yu was stunned and smiled. “Then I’ll take your good words.”
He was still a little regretful. The Fall Quarter Examinations would begin in a few days. It must have been very lively in the prefecture by now. He wondered how many people would be in high school this time and how many would fail the examination.
In any case, he could not see that scene now.
Master Yu brought Dabao back to the private school. Shu Yu and the others also planned to go back.
Madam Liang sent them out. When she saw that they had walked far away, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
She was scared to death. She thought that it was already so late and that they would be freeloading at home. Fortunately, it was still very good.
If the old lady knew what she was thinking, she would spit on her face and make it seem like everyone was as shameless as her.
There were still a few children at home. How could they not go back?
After settling the house, Yuan Shanchuan and the others stayed in the backyard of Yiren Pavilion for one night. They moved over the next morning.
They still had some things left at the Lu family’s residence. When Daniu sent them over, the ox cart was not very big. They had to take a family of four, and the journey was still far. It was inconvenient to bring too much luggage.
Therefore, they only brought the daily necessities that were currently useful.
There weren’t many things. After Shu Yu drove the mule carriage to send them there, she didn’t stay to help. Since it was still early, she took the gla.s.s mirror that she had made and left the city for the black market.
Shu Yu went alone and did not call Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi.
She could see that Meng Yunzheng had become busy since Madam Chang came and was often not at home.
Shu Yu guessed that it might not be just Madam Chang. Even if the official of the central judicial office didn’t come, he should have sent a right-hand man or something.
Shu Yu drove the rented carriage to the manor they had gone to earlier. Soon, she arrived at the bamboo forest.
