Chu Jin tugged at Chu Ziluo’s sleeve and did not say anything immediately.
Chu Ziluo raised her head and asked softly, “Mother, I want to go to the school to talk to Brother Zhongjin. Xiao Jin came back and said that Brother Zhongjin is very knowledgeable. Can I go and listen?”
Chu Jin also said, “Mother, Brother Zhongjin is really knowledgeable. He can actually study as a monk in a temple. If Ah Hu and the others in the village can’t study, why don’t they go to the temple?”
Ye Muyu did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw her son asking so seriously. She smiled and glanced at him. “You child, Ah Hu has parents. Is he going to abandon them and go to the temple?”
“Besides, if they really want to learn how to read, they can play with you or even your classmates in school. They can learn some words by writing on the ground with a wooden stick. One would only go to the temple because their family’s conditions are not good. But if one really wants to learn, this method is not impossible.”
Chu Jin scratched his head. He was still young, so his thoughts were not too complicated. There were limitations to his scattered thoughts, so he was convinced by Ye Muyu. “That’s true. I don’t want to leave my parents, and neither do Ah Hu and the others.”
“Then in the future, if Ah Hu asks me to teach him read, I’ll teach him.” Chu Jin felt pity for Ah Hu. After all, he had seen Ah Hu standing outside the classroom with a basket on his back. He had even thrown stones at Tiger with his classmates.
After that, Tiger stopped coming.
At that time, he had thought that throwing the stone was just a joke. Now, it seemed that he had done something wrong.
“If you are willing to teach him, mother will naturally support you.” Ye Muyu gently rubbed his head with a faint smile on her face.
Chu Jin was used to his mother’s gentleness, so he also felt a sense of accomplishment. He grinned in satisfaction for a while.
“Mother, then I’ll go to school with sister.” He did not even want to take a nap.
Ye Muyu was afraid that since he get gotten used to napping, if he did not rest, he would doze off in class in the afternoon. ‘When you go to the teacher’s house later, remember to sleep for a while, okay?”
“I know, Mother.”
Chu Jin pulled Chu Ziluo away.
Ye Muyu stopped him. “You two go to the study room and pack your books. I’ll talk to Zhang Cong and Nenya.”
“Okay, Mom. Hurry up.” Chu Jin did not forget to urge her and quickly followed Chu Ziluo to the study room next door.
Zhang Cong and Nenya were called in. The two of them quickly bowed politely. They did not know what Madam wanted to instruct them, so the two of them did not dare to say anything. They even felt a little restrained.
“Zhang Cong,” Ye Muyu said gently. “Bring a small cloak over later. Tell the Chu
Jin to sleep a little so that he doesn’t fall asleep in class.”
“Nenya, follow Ziluo later. She can’t be alone with men.”
Ye Muyu also wanted her daughter to have some freedom. However, in this era, women still needed to be on guard. At least, they had to have a reason on the surface. Last time, someone wanted to propose marriage to Ziluo.
The village was not that particular. If they went to the county or even the prefecture, there would probably be more taboos.
In order to be safe, Ye Muyu tried her best to take care of the children at home. Because of her intuition, Chu Heng might really become a high scholar this time, or even an advanced scholar.
At that time…
She was afraid that everything in her life would change.
Ye Muyu muttered to herself. The Zhang siblings saw that their madam was only instructing them to take care of the young master and young miss. They could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief and quickly responded obediently.
Previously, as soon as they finished speaking, they saw Madam’s serious expression. Their hearts skipped a beat, not knowing if they had done something wrong..
