The manager said, “Twenty cows and twenty calves, with the cows only two to three years old and capable of bearing several more calves, are priced at one hundred taels each. The calves are thirty taels each, totaling two thousand six hundred taels. Subtracting your five hundred taels deposit, the balance is two thousand one hundred taels.”

Chu Qingzhi promptly paid the remaining silver to the manager, “Thank you for making the trip yourself.”

The manager waved it off, “No trouble at all. It’s you who’ve done me a great

favor.”

After exchanging pleasantries, the manager left with his people.

Gradually, the remaining sixty cows from other cattle farms were delivered.

The four cows bought by Wu Yaqing for her home were also taken to their new enclosure, allocated a separate pen.

At Yunfei School, there was intense discussion among the students…

“I heard Teacher Yan is coming to teach us, and only us.”

“Who told you that? Is it reliable?”

“Yes, is it? Teacher Yan only teaches those aiming for the scholarly exams. It seems unlikely he’d teach us.”

“We’ll know soon. Reliable sources say Teacher Yan will teach us today.”

“I think you’re joking…”

As the conversation continued, a scholarly figure entered the school, “I will be teaching the next lesson for everyone…”

His voice was gentle and melodious, like flowing water, very pleasant to the

ears.

Despite Teacher Yan’s soft voice, it immediately quieted the noisy schoolhouse. All students turned their attention forward, eyes filled with surprise and joy.

Teacher Yan’s reputation for teaching students who all passed the imperial exams was well known in Yunfei School. Many students sought backdoor ways to become his disciples, but he only took ten at a time, making it difficult to enter his tutelage.

The students quickly composed themselves and stood up, greeting in unison,

“Good day, Teacher.”

Everyone looked at Teacher Yan as if they were seeing a treasure, a mix of shock and happiness in their eyes.

Teacher Yan got straight to the point, “Please sit, let’s start the lesson.”

“Yes, Teacher.”

After his lesson, it was time for lunch. Students could eat in the cafeteria, go outside, or eat what they brought from home, which could be warmed up m the cafeteria.

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao chose to eat in the cafeteria. Having come from humble beginnings, they were always frugal, satisfied merely with the opportunity to study.

As the brothers headed to the cafeteria, Teacher Yan called them over, “Come with me.”

Exchanging glances, they quickly approached Teacher Yan, “Teacher, is there something you need?”

Teacher Yan said, “Let’s have lunch at my house. Xiao Fu has prepared the meal; it’s ready to eat.”

Chu Xuyuan was puzzled, “Teacher, why are you inviting us to lunch out of the blue?”

Teacher Yan didn’t answer Chu Xuyuan directly, “Don’t ask too many questions. Just do as I say.”

Chu Xuyao, after a moment’s thought, said, “Teacher, are you doing this because my fifth sister healed your leg, and you want to repay her?”

Teacher Yan thought to himself, not expecting the young boy to be so astute, but he couldn’t admit it, or they would refuse, “No, the headTeacher specifically instructed me to take care of you. It has nothing to do with your fifth sister.”

This surprised the boys, Chu Xuyuan scratching his head in confusion, “Why would the headTeacher take special care of us?”

“That’s a question for the headTeacher.” Teacher Yan internally remarked on the difficulty of diverting the topic, “It’s getting late. Let’s eat first and talk later, shall we?”

Chu Xuyuan was uncertain but looked to Chu Xuyao for a decision.

Chu Xuyao, not wanting to offend Teacher Yan by refusing, nodded after some thought, “Teacher, thankyou.”

Xiao Fu, ever more dedicated after opening up to Teacher Yan, had the meal ready when they arrived. The food was thoughtfully prepared, showing great care.

Teacher Yan invited them to sit and join him.

Xiao Fu hesitated before sitting to the side, waiting until Teacher Yan began eating before he started, very cautiously.

Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao sat beside Teacher Yan, eating slowly.

Teacher Yan mentioned, “I’ve found some books I used for my scholar exams. If you’re still energetic after eating, you can take a look.”

“Scholar?” Chu Xuyao paused, “Teacher, do you mean we can pass the child scholar exam?”

Teacher Yan internally noted Xuyao’s sharpness, “Yes, I’ve seen your papers.

As long as the examiners are fair, you’ll definitely pass.”

The brothers were overjoyed, this being the best news they’d heard in a while.

The meal was exceptionally joyful.

After eating, Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao went to the room Teacher Yan had prepared for them to study. He handed them the books, “Take a look first. I’ll explain in detail later.”

Chu Xuyao asked, “Teacher, won’t this be too much for you?”

Teacher Yan smiled, “As long as you learn well, a bit of hardship is nothing. But if you can pass the exams sooner, I can relax earlier.”

Chu Xuyao blinked, then smiled, “My brother and I will work hard.

Teacher Yan nodded with a smile, “Good.”

In Shuiyun County.

Ge Lihua walked in with a food box, “Senior Brother, why are you up?”

Ling Yanjiang stood by the window, watching the bustling street, and turned to smile at Ge Lihua, “You finally came. I was beginning to think you’d forgotten me.”

“I’ve brought you lunch. Come and eat.” Ge Lihua set out the dishes from the food box, all beneficial for recovery.

Grateful, Ling Yanjiang approached, “I’m lucky to have you, or I’d never have tasted such good food.”

Ge Lihua handed Ling Yanjiang the chopsticks, “Focus on healing, don’t worry too much.”

Ling Yanjiang casually asked, “Do you plan to stay here permanently?”

Ge Lihua nodded lightly, “I’m getting married.”

Ling Yanjiang was shocked, looking at her in disbelief, “Married?”

A soft look appeared in Ge Lihua’s eyes, “The wedding is set for the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. If you’re still around, you’re welcome to celebrate with us.”

Ling Yanjiang struggled to accept the news, “Who are you marrying?

Ge Lihua replied, “The third son of the family I’m staying with.”

Ling Yanjiang objected, “How can you, a young lady with a good background, marry a farmer’s son?”

Ge Lihua shook her head, “I was one, but not anymore.”

Ling Yanjiang didn’t know what to say.

Ge Lihua concluded, “Just eat. The wedding is decided, and I genuinely wish to stay. Let’s not discuss it further.”
