Jing Qingrong sat downstairs for about a quarter of an hour and left without eating a single bite of the grass jelly honey.
Su Liuer didn't pay any attention to him either.
After selling all the grass jelly honey, she went to Captain Zhang's house to pick up Zhu Hongan and bring him to the restaurant for dinner.
"Liu'er is here. I just want to ask you something." Mrs. Zhang pulled Su Liu'er into the house to sit down and made tea for her.
Then he said, "This is what happened. Yesterday, when Hong'an was practicing calligraphy at my house, my mother happened to come over and saw him. She suggested that Hong'an go to Qingxi Academy to study with my father. What do you think?"
Su Liuer was quite surprised. She didn't expect that scholars in Dongling Kingdom would start their enlightenment so early. Hong'an's birthday was still in a few days, and he was not even four years old yet.
So I have to study with the Master?
Seeing Su Liuer's surprised expression, Mrs. Zhang explained:
"Hong'an is indeed a little young now, but he is extremely talented. My mother brought all his handwriting back to my father last night to see. He also thought Hong'an was very talented, so he wanted to make an exception and let him enter the academy."
Su Liuer nodded and asked doubtfully, "Does Qingxi Academy have students of the same age as Hongan?"
"No, the youngest is already seven years old. After all, this is a small place, and few people send their children to study at a young age. If you are willing, my father has agreed to exempt you from the tuition. You can pay it when Hong'an turns seven."
"Of course I am willing, but I still have to pay the tuition. It's fifty cents every month, right?" Zhu Dagui had studied at Qingxi Academy before, and he also had to pay the tuition every month.
Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "No need for fifty coins. They are students preparing for the exam. If you insist on paying, then you can pay the same as the seven-year-old student, ten coins a month. I won't charge less, and you don't have to pay more."
"That's great. But Hong'an has to start studying at the academy tomorrow? What's the class schedule?"
Since Su Liuer has decided to let Zhu Hongan go to school, she has to find out everything first.
Mrs. Zhang explained the situation to Su Liuer in detail, and agreed with her that they would send Hong'an to Qingxi Academy together early the next morning, and then pay the tuition fee for this month.
Su Liuer took Zhu Hongan back to the restaurant for lunch, and after the meal she told him about going to the academy to study.
She had indeed neglected this matter before. After all, she was not from this world. In her opinion, Hong'an was only of kindergarten age now, and she would never have thought that he would be able to go to the academy to study with a teacher.
Furthermore, Su Liuer really didn't realize how different Zhu Hongan was. After all, in the world she lived in, there were many children who could recite ancient poems at the age of three or four. Hongan could only write some simple words now.
But it’s not too late to find out now.
After Su Liuer and Zhu Hongan finished talking about going to the academy tomorrow, she asked him, "Do you want to go? If you don't want to go, you don't have to go."
She didn't want to force her child to make a choice that she herself couldn't judge to be absolutely correct.
Growing up as an orphan, she knew from a young age that she should make many choices by herself and bear the consequences of her choices by herself.
Zhu Hongan thought about it seriously and nodded.
My aunt said that if he could study hard and pass the imperial examination to become a scholar, her mother would be very happy, and everyone would respect the mother of a scholar.
Zhu Hongan actually didn't quite understand the word "respect", but he knew it was definitely a good thing.
He hopes that others will respect his mother, so he wants to go to the academy, study hard, and pass the exam to become a scholar in the future!
