The Farm Girl’s Charismatic Fortune
Chapter 127 - 124 Gone

Chapter 127: Chapter 124 Gone

Xue Family

Lady Xue also received the invitation from Shopkeeper Gu.

Inviting her own son to go study at the villa with his young master?

As soon as Xue Hai returned, Lady Xue immediately brought the matter up, "My dear, shall we send Jie’er?"

She had heard from her husband that Shopkeeper Gu of Bogu Pavilion has an extraordinary status, related to the Zhenguo Duke Residence in the Capital City.

Shopkeeper Gu’s young master, wouldn’t that be the son of the Zhenguo Duke Residence?

Xue Hai looked at the invitation, turning it over and over, and said with joy, "Of course, he goes. That’s our son’s good fortune. Our son has indeed turned misfortune into a blessing this time!"

Lady Xue laughed, "Isn’t that the case? We are indeed fortunate because of Xuanbao. I heard from Jie’er after he returned that Xuanbao wanted to come study at our clan school, complaining that the Master was too strict and always punishing with copying texts. Now, Xuanbao is studying with that young master from Bogu Pavilion! It must be that the old lady of Bogu Pavilion didn’t want Xuanbao to leave and simply invited our son to study with them instead. Fortunate that our family has started interactions with the Ruo Family, otherwise our son might not have had this opportunity."

Xue Hai nodded, "That must be it, strict teachers train great students, and that Master is a renowed scholar of our time! Of course, he’s strict."

The Master of the clan school is good too, but he can’t compare to a renowned scholar of our time.

They were merchants; it was very difficult to invite a teacher of such scholarly status.

Lady Xue felt a shiver inside, "We must remind Jie’er to study diligently."

Xue Hai, however, felt his son wasn’t cut out for studying, but even if he wasn’t, it was still good to have studied under a renowned scholar and to make friends with those few children. He didn’t demand his child become a Top Scholar to honor his ancestors.

All he wished for was his child to understand and be sensible, and not squander the wealth accumulated by generations of the Xue Family.

Xue Hai then asked, "Do you know if the children from other families have received invitations?"

Lady Xue shook her head, "The invitation mentioned the child from County Magistrate Zhang’s family, but others were not mentioned. Should I send someone to investigate?"

"No need, we will find out tomorrow. To investigate now, if they didn’t receive invitations, they’ll learn of it and likely come to the Ruo Family with inquiries. That would just cause trouble for the Ruo Family, wouldn’t it?"

"True, then I’ll prepare the things our child needs for school, and also prepare a gift for the Master."

Xue Hai: "Isn’t there a unique book in the storeroom? Our family isn’t one known for scholarly tradition; it’s no use keeping it. Let Jie’er give it to the Master! And don’t forget to prepare a gift for the Ruo Family too, not too expensive, the thought is what counts."

"Alright! Didn’t you get a shipment of premium silk quilts yesterday? The weather is getting colder, I’ll send them a few."

"Good idea."

So the next day, Yan Jiaojiao eagerly awaited Ruo Xuan’s arrival for class, planning to tell her that her father had agreed to let her attend the Xue Family’s clan school.

Instead, she waited only for Ruo Xuan to come up the mountain to attend class with her elder brother Zhang Jie and Xue Hai!

Zhang Jie thought: Excellent, the ranks of those punished with writing assignments have grown by three! Our army is expanding.

However, today was martial arts class, and since the Dengfeng Academy had entrance trials today, the master who was supposed to teach them hadn’t arrived yet. Yan Shan said to the children, "Today I’ll take you to the Dengfeng Martial Arts Academy to watch the new students’ martial arts trials."

Yan Huan and Yan Jiaojiao were so delighted they almost jumped for joy.

Yan Jiaojiao: "Uncle Yan Shan, really?"

Yan Huan: "Uncle Yan Shan, you’re the best! I begged my dad for half the night, and he wouldn’t let me go."

Ruo Xuan was also very happy, "Uncle Yan is so nice, my elder brother is taking part in the entrance trials today. I wanted to go watch, but my parents didn’t allow it."

It wasn’t just her elder brother participating in the entrance trials today, but also the day they had to deliver the five thousand volumes of the Four Books and Five Classics. She had wanted to go with them to deliver the books and then watch the trials.

Yan Shan finally understood why the young master had suddenly mentioned wanting to go see the competition at Dengfeng Martial Arts Academy.

Previously, when the Princely Heir asked if he was interested in watching, he had said he had no interest, but last night Shopkeeper Gu said the young master wanted to watch the Dengfeng Academy competition, and tomorrow’s martial arts lesson was arranged to go to Dengfeng Martial Arts Academy to observe the competition.

It turned out it wasn’t the young master who wanted to watch, it was Lady Xuanbao who wanted to.

Yan Shan said to the children, "Let’s hurry and set off! Otherwise, by the time we get to the academy, the competition will have already started."

The carriages were already prepared, a total of three carriages, with Xuanyuan Que in one by himself, then one for the girls, and one for the boys.

Traveling by carriage into the city was much faster than by ox cart, it took about fifteen minutes to enter the city.

Ruo Xuan decided to buy a carriage, so that delivering books to the bookstore wouldn’t require the hard work of pushing a cart, and it would save a lot of time.

After entering the city, the three carriages soon arrived outside the gates of Dengfeng Martial Arts Academy.

Today was the big day for the competition at Dengfeng Martial Arts Academy, and both sides of the street outside the academy gates were filled with parked carriages.

Yan Shan drove the carriage, holding a token, and drove directly into the academy, parking in a designated spot.

Then, Yan Shan led the children to a high platform, told them to sit properly, and not to climb around carelessly.

The position of the high platform was excellent, allowing a view of the entire competition arena.

Ruo Xuan sat down and took a glance around.

By that time, the area around the arena was already filled with spectators, and many people were walking around looking for a place to sit.

Dengfeng Martial Arts Academy had a very large competition arena.

Many big and small competitions were held there every year.

Therefore, the arena was built very large, able to accommodate ten teams of students competing at the same time.

Ruo Xuan looked around and saw her eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, fifth uncle and youngest uncle, along with several of her brothers sitting in the spectators’ seats, but she did not see her own eldest brother. She couldn’t help but ask, "Uncle Yan Shan, where do the competitors sit? I want to go find my elder brother."

Yan Shan pointed towards the entrance of the arena, "The competitors are all waiting in that room. Lady Xuanbao, you cannot go there now. Don’t worry, the time is almost upon us, and the competition will start soon. Then, you will be able to see Young Master Ruo Zhou."

Ruo Xuan looked in the direction Yan Shan pointed to and tried to sense, then she shook her head, "That’s not right, my elder brother isn’t there, I’ll go look for him."

There were too many people and the atmosphere was too chaotic, Ruo Xuan couldn’t sense where Ruo Zhou was, and she felt a bit uneasy.

The competition was about to start, and if her elder brother wasn’t with the other competitors in the room waiting for the contest, where had he gone?

Xuanyuan Que stood up, "I’ll go with you to check."

The other children also stood up when they heard this.

Xue Jiajie said, "Xuanbao, I’ll go with you to find your elder brother."

Yan Huan said, "I’ll go too, Uncle Yan Shan, please arrange for more people to help us look."

Yan Jiaojiao and Zhang Jie said, "I’m going too."

Xuanyuan Que said indifferently, "No need, stay seated, don’t cause more trouble!"

Yan Shan added, "Indeed, there are too many people around, you could easily get lost, and it wouldn’t be good if someone took you away. Just sit here, I’ll go with Xuanbao and the others to look."

So, Yan Shan called two people to watch over the children, and he took Xuanyuan Que and Ruo Xuan to look for the missing person.
