"What a person who knows courtesy and shame, respects virtue and pursues kindness!" A voice came from behind. Lin Arsen walked in from the gate of the courtyard. After seeing that the woman who was talking in the courtyard was Yu Jiao, Lin Arsen smiled and said, "It turned out to be Miss Yu. No wonder she could say such words."

Yu Jiao bowed back to him.

Master Zhang, who was standing by, didn't expect that the two of them actually knew each other. When he heard Lin Arsen call Yu Jiao "Miss Yu", he couldn't help but think of the Yu family in Qingyu Village who had offended Zhang Xiangui, and his face became even uglier.

"Miss Yu, why did you come to the academy...?" Lin Arsen was invited by the old man guarding the gate. He said that Master Zhang and Master Zhong had an argument over accepting a student.

Yu Jiao replied, "I'm here to send my younger brother to school."

Lin Arsen looked at Meng Fei and said with some surprise, "Is this also the young master of the Yu family? I remember that Qi Zhe seemed to be the youngest among all the brothers of the Yu family."

Yu Jiao nodded. "This is my younger brother from my mother's family. He is eight years old this year and has reached the age to start elementary school."

Lin Arsen suddenly realized, "Qi Zhe mentioned to me last time that his wife's younger brother had reached the age of enlightenment and he wanted to send him to the academy. It turns out that he is your younger brother."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jiao showed a faint smile on her face. She didn't expect that Yu Qizhe was also concerned about his younger brother's studies.

"At his age, it's just right for him to join Master Zhong's Dingmao class." Lin Arsen said, and then looked at Master Zhong, "Would Master Zhong be willing to accept this student? Miss Yu's husband is Yu Qizhe, the champion of the provincial examination some time ago. It's a pity that he didn't graduate from our academy."

Master Zhong had never expected that there was such a connection. He had read the answer paper of the top scorer in this autumn's imperial examination. The article criticizing current affairs was very well written, but it was a pity that he had never had the chance to see it.

Master Zhong smiled and said, "So there is a brother-in-law who is a top scholar. No wonder Meng Fei can recite the Thousand Character Classic at such a young age. How can I refuse such a student?"

Lin Arsen smiled and said to Meng Fei, "After the ceremony of becoming a disciple, you can come to the academy to study on a chosen day."

Master Zhang heard it carefully. It turned out that these people were really related to the Yu family of Qingyu Village. He was driven from Class A to Class D because of the Yu family. He was also furious when he saw that these people treated him as invisible.

He said in a cold voice, "Lin Arsenic, this kid has no respect for his elders and is immoral. How can he be admitted to our county school? Although you are the son of Lin Shanzhang, you should not abuse your power for personal gain and recruit anyone into the academy just based on your connections. This has ruined the reputation of the county school and disrupted the atmosphere of the school. Can you bear the consequences?"

Lin Arsen's expression faded. "I heard that Master Zhang just had a quarrel with Miss Yu. He wanted to expel her from the academy. This behavior is too narrow-minded. The academy opened its doors for students to study. You turned her away for your own selfish desires."

Master Zhang's nose was almost crooked with anger. Although the Zhang family donated a lot of silver to the county school, the principal of the county school was from the Lin family after all. He did not dare to offend Lin Arsen too much. After all, he could not lose his job at the county school.

Zhang Mao had no choice but to suppress his anger and left.

Lin Arsen glanced indifferently in the direction where Zhang Mao left. If it weren't for the Zhang family, with Zhang Mao's character and talent, there was no way he could teach in the county school.

However, the academy spends a lot every year and is inevitably constrained by these people.

He turned around and said to Yu Jiao, "It's settled that your brother will be enrolled in school. Don't worry."

"Thank you." Yu Jiao knew that Lin Arsen stood up for her because she had helped Miss Lin give birth.

"I still have things to do in the school, so I can't stay long. I'll take my leave first." Lin Arsen bowed and went to the main courtyard school.

Master Zhong invited a few people to the hall. After drinking the tea offered by Meng Fei as a disciple, Yu Jiao paid the tuition fee and gave Master Zhong ten taels of silver as a gift of discipleship. Meng Fei's admission to school was then settled.
