Chapter 268: Madam Wen
Chapter 268: Madam Wen
"Madam, we are here to find Master Wen. My surname is Lu, and this is my younger brother. He has come specifically to study," Shu Yu explained with a smile. The woman remained silent for a moment and nodded slightly. "Please wait." She closed the door again and walked away. Before long, she returned and opened the door, partially stepping aside. "Please come in. Madam is waiting for you inside." Madam? Could it be that Master Wen is not here? Shu Yu pondered as she walked inside and indeed saw a graceful and serene woman sitting in the main hall. When Madam Wen saw them enter, she greeted them and said with a smile, "Are you Master Lu and Miss Lu? Please have a seat." Lu Sanzhu felt delighted. He had never been called Master Lu before. Moreover, the other party was a learned scholar's wife. This feeling of being addressed like this was so comfortable. Shu Yu gestured with her eyes for him to behave and then sat down on the side. Madam Wen was very amiable, speaking softly and gently, making people feel at ease. She glanced at Dahui and said, "I heard that you have come here to study? This must be the little gentleman." Da Hu quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed. Madam Wen waved her hand. "No need for so much courtesy." Then she looked at Lu Sanzhu, paused for a moment, quickly redirected her gaze, and accurately locked onto the person who could make decisions. She spoke to Shu Yu, "I apologize, but my husband happens to be away today. I was also afraid that you would come here in vain, so I invited you in for tea. By the way, there are some things I can tell you in advance." "Thank you, Madam, for your hospitality. Please speak your mind," Shu Yu replied. Madam Wen took a sip of tea, placed her hands in front of her, and smiled. "You see, my husband indeed likes diligent and studious students, and he is willing to accept such students. However, there was a recent incident, which I believe you have heard about. Our Shuxian Academy has suspended classes for a few days." Shu Yu nodded, "Yes, we have heard about it." Madam Wen was surprised. "If that's the case, why are you still coming here to study? Aren't you afraid... that my husband's situation might affect you?" Shu Yu smiled, "Madam Wen, even if Master Wen is currently facing some trouble, to put it bluntly, even if he were to be questioned due to some slight connection with the former county magistrate, it wouldn't necessarily affect his students, right?" After all, there was still a layer of separation between the students and the teacher. This is just Jiangyuan County, and the one accused of the crime is just a county magistrate. This county magistrate is not close to Master Wen. If it were to involve Master Wen's students, then the snowball effect would spread, and half of Jiangyuan County would be in chaos. "Moreover, these students are all under ten years old, still in the early stages of learning." Madam Wen was stunned for a moment but couldn't help but laugh. She had been somewhat reserved before, but now she relaxed completely. She shook her head and smiled. "I didn't expect you to think so clearly." Why did the families of those students rush to take their children back as soon as they heard that their family was connected to the county magistrate? In the end, it's because of their limited perspective. When she looked at Dahui again, there was a touch of familiarity. "You're right, no matter what, it won't affect the young students who are just starting out. But have you ever considered that if my husband does encounter trouble, those students will have to find another school to continue their studies. At that time, it's not just about whether they can adapt, but other schools may not necessarily accept them." Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!Beginner Tier

ReplyDeleteThe next button links to chapter 267 instead of 269.
ReplyDeleteI guess the main reason for that is the 168 was posted first instead of 167
DeleteA nice lady, and welp peasants were very narrow minded, just like today.
