They didn't alert anyone, and no one even knew they were living in the yard.
That day, Bei Yutang and Xiao Zimo were busy tidying up the house all morning.
This was a double-deep house with a central patio, providing good natural light. The yard outside was also quite spacious, making it convenient for Xiao Zi Mo to practice martial arts on a daily basis. The horse was led to the woodshed at the back of the yard, and all the racks on it were removed.
We have been running around these days and both the man and the horse are tired.
Now we can let it have a good rest.
Bei Yutang and Xiao Zimo were busy all morning cleaning the house they lived in. Because the house had many rooms, they specially cleaned out two bedrooms.
After cleaning the house, the two went out to buy some food. Bei Yutang bought a lot of food and daily necessities.
After it was done, Bei Yutang specially cooked a bowl of braised pork in the evening, and then took the bowl of braised pork and knocked on the door of the house next door.
When Aunt Xu opened the door, she immediately smelled a delicious aroma.
"Sister, are you moving in today?" Aunt Xu was a little surprised.
"Yes. Auntie, this is the meat I cooked. Please try it. Don't mind if my cooking skills are not good." Bei Yutang handed the bowl of braised pork to the auntie.
Aunt Xu hesitated for a moment, then accepted it.
After Bei Yutang left, Aunt Xu was still muttering about how sensible she was.
Bei Yutang went to the town the next day to inquire about schools. There were quite a few schools in Baiyun Town. Many of them were teachers hired by local wealthy families for their children. They would also accept children from other families to keep their own children company.
Bei Yutang inquired in the bookstore and learned that there was a teacher with good talent and learning, but the teacher was quite young, which made many parents unwilling to leave their children to him.
Bei Yutang had learned from his previous experience with the tutor and went to the tutor's house to inquire around. The neighbors all praised the tutor, saying that he was well-educated, talented, and knowledgeable, but that he had bad luck. He had taken the imperial examinations several times, but family accidents or illnesses had kept him from taking them.
Bei Yutang glanced at the teacher from afar. He looked gentle and elegant, and judging from the way he treated his students, he seemed to be a very patient teacher.
The next day, Bei Yutang brought Xiao Zimo to the house.
The master's surname was Zhang, his given name was Zixi, and he was in his thirties. He was not originally from Baiyun Town, but had moved here from a remote area. He had lived in Baiyun Town for seven or eight years and had a good relationship with his neighbors.
When Master Zhang saw the delicate and graceful little Zimo, his eyes were filled with amazement. "Zimo has been well taken care of by Madam."
Bei Yutang frowned slightly.
Master Zhang noticed her expression and asked naturally, "I wonder what Zimo has learned?"
Xiao Zimo stood there straight, reporting to Master Zhang one by one the books he had learned. After listening to him, Master Zhang's eyes were full of surprise.
"Have you read all these books?" Master Zhang was a little unconvinced.
"yes."
"Then I'll test you."
Xiao Zimo nodded.
A quarter of an hour later, Master Zhang's eyes changed several times when he looked at Xiao Zimo. This was the most talented student he had ever seen.
Seeing that he was satisfied, Bei Yutang explained their situation clearly in advance, "Master Zhang, we will only stay in Baiyun Town for a few months. Once the time is up and we have finished handling things, we will leave."
