Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

After the recruitment was settled, Xia Shengsheng went to Mr. Yu's house again with gifts.

First, I would like to thank Mr. Yu for his guidance, which allowed Yiyi to study with Dean Feng.

Secondly, I also need to tell Mr. Yu about Yiyi’s situation.

Thirdly, I would like to ask Mr. Yu which private school in Ning'an Prefecture teaches better. I want to send several children there so that they can take care of each other.

So this time I brought all three children with me.

When they arrived at Mr. Yu's house, Xia Shengsheng did not let the children go to disturb him. Instead, she took the gifts she brought and knocked on Mr. Yu's door herself.

The person who opened the door was the old woman from before. She knew Xia Shengsheng and did not even let her wait outside. She invited her in directly.

"Madam Xia, please come in. My husband was talking about it a few days ago! I wonder if Miss Yiyi's trip to Linyi Prefecture went smoothly. I didn't expect you to come today.

I'll take you to the small hall first. Please wait for a while. My teacher is still in class. I'll go and tell him. If I've been negligent, please forgive me, Madam Xia!"

The old woman explained as she walked and led Xia Shengsheng into the small hall.

"Don't worry, let Mr. Yu teach first! I'll sit here and wait for a while, and you can pass the message after Mr. Yu finishes the get out of class!

I didn't know Mr. Yu had already started the class. It's my fault for visiting you so suddenly. We just came back from Linyi Prefecture and wanted to bring the news that Yiyi has enrolled in school to Mr. Yu. If this mother has something to do, just go and do it. I can just sit here and wait!! "

The old woman replied a few more words respectfully, and asked the other maids to serve tea and snacks before leaving, saying that she came to see Mr. Yu, and if the get out of class was over, she would report back to Mr. Yu!

After the old woman left, Xia Shengsheng drank half a cup of tea before Mr. Yu hurried over.

"Mrs. Xia is here! Is everything going well on the journey? I heard Yiyi has already started school? Is she adapting well?"

Mr. Yu really likes Yiyi, so when he heard the news that Xia Shengsheng was coming, he couldn't wait to ask about Yiyi's situation.

"Mr. Yu, I'm sorry to bother you. We had a smooth journey. Yiyi officially enrolled on the day we left. Dean Feng's academy is very well-established, and I'm sure Yiyi will be able to adapt to it.

Before leaving, Yiyi said that she would come to visit Mr. Yu when she came back. She also wanted to thank Mr. Yu for the introduction. Otherwise, we would not have been able to enroll so smoothly!"

"What is there to thank me for? It's just a word. It doesn't mean anything. Miss Feng is a talented person. She also has ideals and ambitions. Yiyi will definitely benefit a lot from studying with Miss Feng..."

It was inevitable to say a few more polite words, and Mr. Yu also asked in detail about some of the circumstances of Dean Feng's academy, and Xia Shengsheng answered them one by one.

After Mr. Yi had almost understood everything, Xia Shengsheng told him the final purpose of this trip.

"I wonder if Mr. Yu has any good recommendations? I have three boys in my family, two of whom are older. They used to study in the town, but there are no teachers in Niutou Town now, so they want to come to Ning'an Prefecture to study, but I don't know which private school teacher is better. Please give me some advice, Mr. Yu!"

After listening to this, Mr. Yu first asked about the ages of Xia Shengsheng's children, thought about it carefully, and then introduced Xia Shengsheng to two private schools that he thought were pretty good.

"I have met Sicheng. He is only eight years old this year. According to Madam Xia, he has not been delayed in his enlightenment at home in the past two years, but he has never attended a formal private school. So it is best for him to go to Master Wei's private school for enlightenment.

Mr. Wei passed the imperial examination and became a scholar when he was a teenager, and then passed the imperial examination and became a juren when he was in his 20s. However, his family fell into poverty later, so he did not continue to take higher exams. Instead, he opened a small private school to support his family.

The children he took care of were between six and fourteen years old. Over the years, quite a few of them passed the imperial examinations and became scholars. It would be appropriate for Sicheng to study under Master Wei.

As for the two older ones, it is better to go to Huaiyuan Academy. Huaiyuan Academy is well-known, and the teachers there are either scholars or juren. It is a good place to go! !

The only problem is that neither of these two places has arranged accommodation for the child. I wonder if Madam Xia has made any arrangements?"

Xia Shengsheng naturally trusted Ms. Yu, and she thought the two academies she introduced were feasible.

So, I told Mr. Yu in detail about my plan to rent a house in Ning'an Prefecture.

"That's good. This will make it more convenient for the two children to study. I'll write down the addresses of the two academies for you. The two places are not too far away. You can check them out. If you want to rent a house, it's best to rent one in the middle of the two places so that the children won't be too far from school!!"

Xia Shengsheng thanked him again and again, and Mr. Yu helped write down the address of the academy, and Xia Shengsheng said goodbye! !

After all, the children had been waiting outside for a long time.

After leaving Mr. Yu, I went to two academies to investigate according to the addresses Mr. Yu wrote.

As for the children's enrollment, it went extremely smoothly.

We are now in a period of economic recovery, and academies and private schools are still recruiting students.

Sicheng had some basic knowledge, so it was no problem for him to go to Master Wei for enlightenment.

Ye Chao and Er Cheng may not be so serious about studying, but because Xia Shengsheng often urges them, their academic performance is not very good, but it is still acceptable. After all, neither of them is a clumsy person!

He was about to cross the threshold of Huaiyuan Academy.

After passing the interviews in both places, all you need to do is bring the gift of greeting to the teacher and complete the admission procedures at the specified time on the next day.

Renting a house was also very simple. I just found a real estate agency nearby and rented a small yard.

The location of the yard is pretty good. It’s neither in a busy city nor in a remote place. The rent is only one or two taels of silver a month, which is not expensive.

There were three main rooms, two side rooms and a kitchen. There were one or two large pieces of furniture in the room, but no other daily necessities.

Xia Shengsheng asked Xia San to stay and buy some daily necessities, buy a few new beddings, and tidy up the house simply, and let him stay there tonight.

She took Nanga and several children back to the village first.

I hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly, so I didn’t pack bags for the kids.

I have to rush back today. After packing my things, I have to rush to the city before the sun rises tomorrow, so that I can arrive at the academy at the agreed time!

Xia Shengsheng decided to ask Jin Ling and her husband to come over to help with cooking and cleaning the yard, otherwise Xia Shengsheng was worried that two grown men would not be able to take good care of the children.

Although it takes about two hours to get to Ning'an Prefecture by horse carriage, it is not too far and it is convenient to make a trip. Besides, the children are boys, so there is definitely not as much worry as when I sent Yi Yi away. Boys should have more experience, not to mention that there are so many people left to take care of them!

So there’s nothing to worry about!
