Chapter 120: Too Disappointed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Yunshu, Eldest Sister approves of you not attending this school not because you are too willful, but because Eldest Sister feels that this teacher is too pedantic and completely contradicts Eldest Sister’s views.”
Gu Yunshu tilted his head. “Huh??”
“In the past, Father said that one has to pass many examinations to become a Preparation Scholar, an Elementary Scholar, a High Scholar, and an Honorable Scholar. Every time they take an examination, they have to stay in a narrow shed for a day or even a few days. In such an environment, not to mention a weak scholar, even a strong man might not be able to last.”
“Look at that teacher. Isn’t he so fair and thin that he looks like he would collapse at the slightest breeze? His thoughts are simply misleading. The Imperial Court even sets up a field leave every May to encourage students to go home and cut wheat. Why is it that in the eyes of that teacher, field work is something that students shouldn’t do?”
She even suspected that the teacher was still a scholar because he was not feeling well in the examination hall.
Moreover, the expression on the Master’s face when he was with a woman was as if she had tainted his innocence. It was simply blinding. Did he think that he was in high demand?
She did not think that the teacher was a bad person. From what he said, if the student’s family was in trouble, he would help. It was just that she did not agree with the teacher’s views. It was better to find a suitable teacher.
Gu Yunshu felt that what Eldest Sister said made sense. “So that teacher is wrong.”
Gu Yundong pinched his face. “Let’s not think about Wen Mo Hall. Let’s go to another school.”
Gu Yunshu was about to leave when he heard this and immediately stopped in his tracks. “But didn’t you say that the school fees are very expensive?”
“This is all hearsay. Eldest Sister thinks that it’s impossible to judge a school without taking a look personally?” For example, Wen Mo Hall. Previously, she had heard the village chief brag about it. It was good in every aspect. Now that she saw the teacher, she felt that rumors were indeed terrifying.
Gu Yunshu nodded and followed her obediently.
But the result was not satisfactory. Gu Yundong had just spoken a few words with the concierge when the other party asked for a tael of silver first.
Later on, they happened to see a teacher who came out. His disdainful expression made people want to hit him. When the teacher saw that they were dressed averagely, he even asked the gatekeeper to chase them away.
She would not come to such a lousy school even if it was free.
Gu Yundong tried her best to restrain herself from beating him up and left with the three of them.
Gu Yunshu sighed faintly and slowly shook his head. “I’m simply too disappointed in them.”
Gu Yundong, who had been holding his breath, was amused by his words. “You’re so worried at such a young age. It’s not like there are only those teachers in this world. If there’s no one in town, let’s go to the county city. Why are you disappointed?”
“To the county?”
“Yes.” Gu Yundong’s first choice was the town because it was close and convenient for transportation. Gu Yunshu was young, so it was not a problem for him to be enlightened in the town. He could also go to the county when he was a little older.
From the looks of it, she should know more about the schools in the county.
Gu Yunshu was extremely distressed. The tuition fees in the county must be very expensive.
Both of them were deep in thought. After taking a few steps, they realized that there seemed to be two people missing behind them.
Where were her mother and sister???
