“Let’s go in. Steward Liu might have arrived already.”
Su Hu comforted his youngest daughter, held her soft little hand, stepped over the threshold, and entered the academy.
Steward Liu was a shrewd man. Guessing the intent of the county magistrate, he naturally did not dare to neglect the people whom the latter had personally recommended.
Upon the arrival of Su Hu and his daughter at the break room where the teachers were resting, Steward Liu’s bright little eyes gleamed with joy when they stated their purpose.
“Brother Su, you’ve indeed got a pair of good children. Both Ziqin and Zixuan are excellent students, and they are the pride of our Thatched Cottage
Academy.”
Su Qingluo grumbled internally.
Some sort of pride, turning their sister away just because she doesn’t have power or influence, and can’t give you gifts.
“Thanks for the compliments, Steward Liu. The academic success of the two kids is all due to the teachers. They teach well.”
Su Hu had interacted with merchants in recent years and learned a lot of social graces. His words were very appropriate for the situation.
Su Qingluo’s eyes sparkled. She gave her father a mental thumbs up.
Well said, Dad!
“Ha ha, Brother Su, you flatter us. It’s the children who are promising. The academy is just basking in their glory.”
Steward Liu found this pleasing to hear, his shrewd eyes squinted in laughter.
Su Qingluo agreed completely. He finally spoke the truth.
If it were not for Zixuan topping the provincial examination, how could the Thatched Cottage Academy enjoy its present reputation? How could Liu scoop up so much profits?
“May I ask, Steward Liu, which teacher will my daughter be studying under?”
After some small talk, Su Hu’s patience wore thin. He didn’t wish to engage with this sly figure any longer.
“Master Wu, who was Zixuan’s Foundation Teacher.”
Steward Liu was still very smug, deliberately putting emphasis on the name ‘Zixuan’, to indicate the distinction of Master Wu.
Brother’s Foundation Class teacher’s reputation has also soared nowadays.
The wealthy students who came to inquire were mainly attracted by him. It seemed the students gathered in the Foundation Class were exceptional indeed.
Su Qingluo gave a knowing smile, remaining poised beside Su Hu, showing no signs of feeling out of her depth.
“Brother Su, is this your little daughter?”
Steward Liu’s shrewd eyes happened to catch a flash of teasing at the corner of Su Qingluo’s lips, causing him to turn his head and take a careful look at her.
Seeing the little girl’s skin was white as snow, her features as delicate as a painting, and her upright posture conveyed cleverness and wisdom that differed from a farmer’s child, he was visibly stunned.
He couldn’t believe that such an outstanding daughter could be born to a tan and crude farmer like Su Hu.
“Hehe, yes, this is Sister Yu, Zixuan and Ziqin’s little sister.”
Mentioning his beloved youngest daughter, Su Hu’s face lit up with pride, and he stood tall.
What does my dark complexion have to do with you?
What’s wrong with being crude?
It’s much better than your belly full of cunning and greed.
Su Qingluo slightly raised her eyelids, giving Steward Liu a sideways glance. A chill flashed in her eyes.
Steward Liu suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He touched his nose awkwardly, hiding his odd thoughts, and put on a flattering smile.
“Brother Su’s daughter is also clever and intelligent. I hope that in next year’s provincial examination, she can also shine and bring glory to the academy like her brother and sister.”
“I appreciate your blessing, Steward Liu. I’ll take my daughter to the Foundation Class now. I won’t bother you anymore.”
Su Hu, having exchanged pleasantries with him for quite some time, felt somewhat annoyed and made to leave.
“Brother Su, please wait. Master Wu has arrived in the academy. I’ll inform him right away so he can take your daughter to the class.”
Steward Liu sensed Su Hu’s displeasure and didn’t dawdle. He lifted the curtain and entered the inner room, calling out a middle-aged teacher in his forties who was not very tall but had a lean and clear-cut appearance..
