The morning time flew by in a happy atmosphere.
It was lunch time. On the other side of the warm room, Nanny Wu arranged for the maids to bring in the breakfast dishes one after another.
This time, the reception for Qian Chunhua was more grand than the last time.
There were a total of forty dishes, filling up the eight-person table.
Old Madam Dong took Mother Qian's hand affectionately and sat on the first seat.
Guan Yueru took Qian Chunhua and sat down next to Old Madam Dong.
Dong Mingshan accompanied Qian Xingshan and sat down in their seats.
Even the four children were taken care of by maids... Qian Chunhua felt relieved when she saw this.
Because there were not many people and no unmarried women, the Dong family did not separate the men and women. Instead, they let everyone sit together.
During the meal, the children, unlike their parents who were noisy at home, followed the teacher's instructions and finished the meal in an orderly manner, not talking while eating or sleeping.
Even Qingfeng followed his older brothers and sisters' example and ate his meal obediently.
This also made Qian Chunhua secretly relieved.
After dinner, everyone went to the warm room.
The maids brought out snacks one after another, all of which were the cakes and pastries that children loved to eat.
Because the children ate a lot for lunch, each of them only tasted a little of the cakes and put them down. Seeing this, Madam Dong told Nanny Wu to pack up the cakes and let the children take them away later.
While drinking tea and chatting, Qian Chunhua felt a little sleepy.
"Chunhua, have you found the academy where your child goes to school?" asked Old Madam Dong.
Qian Chunhua was shocked and immediately became energetic. "I haven't found one yet. Does Auntie have any recommendations?"
Madam Dong smiled and said, "Have you heard of Yongning Academy?"
Qian Chunhua's eyes lit up. How could she not have heard of the famous Yongning Academy?
A few days ago, when Qian Chunhua took her children to say goodbye to Master Qian, she specifically asked Master Qian about it.
Master Qian was full of praise for Yongning Academy in everything he said. When he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he also wanted to study in this academy.
Unfortunately, Yongning Academy only recruits wealthy or noble students.
Not only that, you also need someone to recommend you. Only after you get a letter of recommendation will the college admit you.
"I've heard of it, I've heard of it." Qian Chunhua nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice. Could it be that the Dong family has connections to Yongning Academy?
Old Madam Dong had an expression that showed she really knew the answer. She stretched out her hand and Madam Wu put the recommendation card that she had prepared earlier in the morning into her hand.
Madam Dong handed the invitation to Qian Chunhua and said with a smile, "The academy has already contacted you. You can take the invitation to register tomorrow."
Qian Chunhua's eyes widened, and she stood up excitedly, taking the note with both hands, "Thank you, auntie, so much...thank you so much."
Qian Chunhua only felt that his mood at this moment was just like those parents of modern students, who were as happy as if they had won the lottery to get into their favorite school.
"This child is so polite." Mrs. Dong said jokingly with a smile, "It's just a small favor."
Although Mrs. Dong said it easily, Qian Chunhua knew that the Dong family must have put a lot of thought into it, and she couldn't refuse such an offer.
Qingfeng and Dongcong didn't care what the adults were doing. They dragged out two sticks from somewhere and scrambled to be Sun Wukong.
"Come, take a hit from me, Sun." Qingfeng said, raised the stick and smashed it towards Dong Cong's head. When it was about to hit, Qingfeng shifted his hand and the stick missed Dong Cong's head.
All the adults in the room tremble with fear with his actions.
Dong Cong was not bothered at all. He laughed loudly, raised his stick and shouted, "Goblin..., goblin..., show your true form quickly."
