Chapter 1840: To the Xuanhe Prefecture TogetherEditor: Henyee Translations
"Forget it, let’s not talk about them. In any case, we agreed to sever ties back then." Yang Zhifu waved his hand and turned to Gu Dajiang. "Dajiang, can I ask you for a favor?"
Gu Dajiang refilled his glass. "Father, feel free to tell me what you need. It’s too polite to ask for help."
Yang Zhifu said, "I heard you say just now that you are already an Elementary Scholar, and a Subsidized Elementary Scholar at that?"
"Yes."
"Then can you stay in Anyi County for a few more days? Firstly, we haven’t seen Liu’er for many years and really can’t bear to be separated from her. Secondly, I want you to guide He’er in his studies. That child, He’er, has a hard life. He studies very hard, but it’s a pity that his reputation has been ruined since he was young. He was also ostracized by his classmates when he went to the academy. He also has a stepmother at home who doesn’t like him. All these years, he has been stumbling in his studies and hasn’t taken the exam. You’re good at learning. Teach him."
Gu Dajiang lowered his eyes and fell silent.
He didn’t say anything, so Yang Zhifu thought that he didn’t agree. He hurriedly said, "If you’re in a difficult position, pretend that I didn’t say anything. I also know that you have to prepare for the village examination. It’s already not easy for you to take the time to come to Anyi County. We really shouldn’t have too many requests."
Gu Dajiang was stunned. He immediately smiled and said, "Father, Mother, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not disagreeing. I’m just thinking that instead of staying here, why don’t you go to the Xuanhe Prefecture together with us?"
"To the Xuanhe Prefecture?" The two elders were surprised.
Gu Dajiang nodded. "Yes, just as you said, Liu’er has just reunited with you. She definitely can’t bear to part with you. Even if we stay here for a year and a half and go back, you will still miss her. I thought that why don’t you go to the Xuanhe Prefecture together? Yang He’s situation is indeed not good. It’s better to change the environment and study in another academy."
The Xuanhe Prefecture had the Tianhai Academy. Although Yang He might not be able to enter with his qualifications, the other academies were not a problem.
At that time, not to mention half a month, they would have plenty of opportunities to discuss knowledge when they lived together.
Yang Zhifu looked at each other. Go... to the Xuanhe Prefecture?
Yang Liu’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She nodded repeatedly and said, "That’s right. Father, Mother, come with us. You raised your daughter up. Now is naturally the time for me to do my filial duty. In Anyi County, Yang Wenli and the others often come to find trouble with you. Just look at Yang He. There’s no peace at all."
"B-but..." Yang Zhifu hesitated. After all, Yang Liu was a married daughter. How could parents live with a married daughter? If word got out, what would others say?
Yang Liu held their hands. "Father, Mother, come with me to the Xuanhe Prefecture. I can’t bear to part with you."
Moreover, with her current ability, she could completely support her parents.
Although her flower shop was not big, there were a few precious pots of flowers that could be sold for a high price.
Although Gu Dajiang was still an Elementary Scholar and wanted to participate in the imperial examination, he wasn’t idle.
When he was free, he would help others copy books and draw some calligraphy and paintings. It was not a problem for him to earn some money. Furthermore, Tianhai Academy had a small examination every ten days. The students who entered the top three would be rewarded. Gu Dajiang was knowledgeable and could obtain it almost every time.
He was also a Subsidized Elementary Scholar. When he passed the examination to become an Elementary Scholar, the officials had also given him money.
Yang Zhifu couldn’t make a decision. After a long time, he said, "I, your mother and I will think about it."
"Okay."
