When Li Yu and Lin He came, Qu Xiangbai had just returned from the provincial capital.
"Sister Li, you're here. Are you here to look for Ah Xiang? Coincidentally, he just came back from the capital yesterday."
Chen Zongwen said as he led them to the study.
Li Yu guessed that Qu Xiangbai should be back soon, but he didn't expect that he had already returned yesterday. It seemed that his work was going smoothly.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Is Mr. Qu done with his work?"
Li Yu teased him as soon as he entered the door.
"Look at what Madam said. I am just an idle person. However, a friend of mine recently accidentally saw the printing technique, and I reported it to Your Majesty according to his suggestion. Will Madam blame me?"
Qu Xiangbai said.
.......
Li Yu thought, look at what I wrote for you, what kind of friend is this? If it’s not someone you found, I lose.
But she wouldn't expose him either.
"Why blame me? Since I have given the printing technology to our library, it belongs to the library. Mr. Qu can do with it as he pleases.
Of course, I believe Mr. Qu will also give my second son a suitable job."
Li Yu secretly reminded Qu Xiangbai not to forget Lin Jiang.
Qu Xiangbai, who understood what Li Yu meant, laughed secretly. This old lady was not greedy, but she was definitely not someone who would suffer any loss.
"No, don't worry. I'll bring him to the capital with me in a few days. The emperor said he wants to meet this kind of talent."
Speaking of going to Beijing, Li Yu was a little scared, not because he was afraid that Lin Jiang's skills were not up to standard.
She was afraid that the Qu family's mortal enemy would make trouble for Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang was very different from Lin He. He was a completely stubborn fool.
How could I understand so many twists and turns?
"Well...Mr. Qu, do you think my son, A Jiang, can't go to Beijing? I'm afraid he can't handle it. You know his personality, he's such a naive kid."
Qu Xiangbai understood Li Yu's concerns.
"Don't worry, ma'am. The emperor is not a fool."
"But..." Li Yu was still worried.
"Madam, if you want your sons to succeed, you have to let them go out and explore. You say your son is too naive, but if you keep him around, he will only become more and more stupid."
Qu Xiangbai interrupted what Li Yu was about to say.
Then he continued, "Besides, you also want your son to have his own job because of printing. What job can be compared with being personally appointed by the emperor?
I know what you're worried about, but don't be afraid. This is a matter of great importance to the nation's scholars, and His Majesty takes it very seriously. Don't worry, His Majesty will not let anyone off lightly if they dare to plot against it."
Since Qu Xiangbai said so, Li Yu was no longer stubborn.
She also knew that it was impossible to keep her children with her forever, and that if she wanted them to succeed, she had to let them make their own way.
I'm just the one who brings people in.
After figuring this out, she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Before, she always felt that she had to carry the entire family.
Now it seems that it is not she who carries the burden of the family, but the children, who all have their own paths to follow.
You just need to look in the direction behind you.
It’s better for them to walk the road themselves.
"In that case, I'll leave him to Mr. Qu. I hope Mr. Qu will take good care of him when we go to the capital. This child has never been far away."
"Look at what Madam said. Since I'm the one taking him with me, his safety will definitely be my responsibility. Don't worry."
Seeing his mother's worried look, Lin He hesitated and said:
"Mom, why don't I go with my third brother?"
"Need not!"
"Need not!"
Qu Xiangbai and Li Yu's opinions were surprisingly consistent.
......
"You should concentrate on studying at the academy. Your brother just lacks knowledge and experience, but he's not a fool."
These are the words of Qu Xiangbai.
Li Yu's words were more direct.
"You have your own path to walk, and your brother has his own path to walk. Let him walk his own path. It's okay to walk slowly, and you can't rely on others for everything.
Don’t put all the burden on yourself.”
"I understand, mother."
"By the way, the purpose of your coming here today is to help Lin He choose a college, right?"
Qu Xiangbai thought that apart from this matter, the Lin family had nothing important to deal with recently.
"Mr. Qu is indeed very foresighted. We would like to ask you which academy do you think is best for Ah He to attend?"
"For me, Qingcang Academy is definitely better. The teacher's ability is also OK. After all, I have a special feeling for that place.
The Mingyue Academy in the provincial capital is also very good. The teachers are all famous scholars, but the students there are basically children of wealthy families. They are not very friendly to those from farming families and are easily isolated.
As for Yuhua Academy, I don't know much about it, but I heard the teacher is very strict."
After Qu Xiangbai finished speaking, he spread his hands, and his meaning was very clear: there are three academies, you choose.
Li Yu still respected Lin He's opinion, so she didn't say anything and just turned to look at him.
Obviously waiting for his choice.
Lin He lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Qingcang Academy."
Qu Xiangbai was surprised. He thought Lin He would choose Mingyue. After all, Mingyue's teacher was very capable.
For Lin He, who only wants to study, he may not care about his classmates' attitudes at all. He only cares about whether he can learn more.
