Dahu walked to Master Wen’s side nervously. The latter’s smile became even gentler.
Master Wen had already heard from Madam Liu that Dahu was going to enroll in the school and was quite pleased with it.
However, he still had to ask the little boy some questions.
At first, the little boy would turn around to look at Shu Yu uneasily, but later on, he slowly eased up and started to answer Master Wen’s questions smoothly.
Master Wen was pleasantly surprised. The child had just started learning to read, but he was very efficient. Although he stumbled while reciting the Three-Character Classic, he had already memorized it, and his handwriting was also decent.
Teacher Wen was overjoyed and began teaching on the spot.
Dahu’s comprehension was indeed quite good. Most importantly, he liked studying.
Many studied with a purpose, either to become a scholar or because their families wanted them to have a bright future. They didn’t like studying but had no choice but to sit down and learn.
However, for active five-year-olds, sitting quietly for half a day was already very uncomfortable, let alone trying to make them interested in boring learning.
In contrast, Dahu had always been quiet since young. Furthermore, he was filled with a yearning and a love for reading. Plus, he did not have the pressure to participate in the imperial examinations.
As such, he was like a sponge instead, crazily absorbing the knowledge that Master Wen was teaching him.
Shu Yu quietly watched the two of them. In this peach blossom forest, where the breeze was gentle and fragrant, it was especially comfortable and peaceful.
She liked such scenarios.
Unfortunately, the harmonious scene was soon broken.
“Lady Lu? Is Miss Lu Shuyu here?”
An urgent shout interrupted Master Wen and the scholars who were in class. Shu Yu also frowned and turned her head to look.
The person looked familiar, and she immediately remembered.
It seemed to be the scholar who discussed knowledge with Tang Wenqian under the peach tree. Could it be that something happened to Tang Wenqian that made him come and look for her?
Shu Yu stood up and replied, “I am Lu Shuyu. What’s the matter?”
The scholar heaved a sigh of relief and ran over in a few steps. He panted slightly as he said, “Lady Lu, something has happened. Something has happened to your Third Uncle. He’s stuck in the water and the others won’t let him come up. Wenqian is negotiating with them, but your Third Uncle asked me to come here to get you.”
In fact, he did not quite understand the use of getting a teenage girl to go. It wasn’t like she could beat the others.
Shu Yu frowned, “He’s being stopped by others from getting out of the water? Wouldn’t that kill him?”
She quickly turned her head and said to Master Wen, “Teacher, I have to go over and take a look. Please take care of Dahu for the time being. I’ll come back immediately after I’m done.”
The other people present heard the scholar’s words as well. Madam Liu quickly nodded, “Go along then, we’ll keep an eye on Dahu.”
Dahu opened his mouth. He wanted to follow his sister, but he knew that it would be useless even if he went. Rather than dragging Second Sister down, it was better to stay with the teacher and let Second Sister rest assured.
Shu Yu patted his head, “Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, she lifted the hem of her dress and walked out of the pavilion, leaving with the scholar hurriedly.
When Master Wen saw Dahu’s worried expression, he knew that Dahu couldn’t sit still anymore, so he said, “Let’s go over and take a look. We’ll just follow them slowly.”
“Yes, yes,” Dahu immediately nodded.
Master Wen asked the others to pack up while he and Madam Liu brought Dahu over first..
