The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 277

The next morning, a luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance of Beishan Hongwen Academy. The steward happened to be out purchasing stationery for the students when he encountered the couple.

"We have come to pay our respects to Master Xu."

The woman chuckled and said, "We are from Chen County."

"My lady, are you afraid people won't know we're from Chen County? Sir, we just happened to be passing by and came in to take a look. We heard that Master Xu's school even has a student canteen."

We'd never seen this before, so we wanted to go in and find out." The butler then asked, "Are you two parents of a student?"

The couple exchanged a glance, then smiled and nodded. The man walked ahead, and the woman immediately waved and said, "Unload everything from the car."

He then walked ahead alone, while the steward watched as the maids and servants behind him carried boxes of gifts and food into the academy, and was speechless.

It seems they've been preparing for a long time, and this includes not only food and supplies, but also items for adult men!

But this school is full of children, so why prepare all this?

The steward shook his head and saw these people carrying the items into the mansion in a row.

The couple came out of the student cafeteria. The woman said, "My lord, although it's only March or April, the weather is getting warmer."

The man nodded and said, "If it weren't for seeing that brat Yuan Lishu, why would we have made this trip? It must have been quite tiring for us to come all this way."

This woman was the first wife of the Yuan family of Chen County. When she turned her head, a light flashed in her eyes.

"Isn't this Master Xu?"

The man turned his head and saw Xu Tian preparing to move some sports equipment on the training ground. The two walked over together.

Xu Tian turned his head and saw the couple of parents looking somewhat surprised. He then smiled and said, "Gentlemen, what brings you here today?"

The couple exchanged a glance, then nodded and said, "We heard the other day that these children were causing quite a ruckus. If it weren't for Master Xu's hard work in disciplining them, we would have been in for a lot of trouble too."

Xu Tian smiled slightly, and then heard the man from Chen County say, "Let me introduce myself. I am from the eldest branch of the Yuan family in Chen County, that is, the direct descendant of the Yuan family in Chen County. My name is Yuan Wenzhu."

"There is indeed something going on. A few days ago, Lu Mingyi of the Lu family said something about experiencing the rise and fall of dynasties. Master Xu then asked to invite the head of the family, but the Lu family is still in Wujun. Now that a major event has occurred in the clan, I'm afraid they can't come."

Upon hearing this, Madam Yuan immediately nodded and said, "Master Xu, we from Chen County have come here specifically on behalf of the Lu family of Wu County to receive your instruction."

Then the couple stood on either side of Xu Tian.

"Master Xu is strict in his scholarship; we truly admire this young boy. Sometimes he speaks..."

Meanwhile, the students in Jidi Building were making a ruckus. Lu Mingyi immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for this, Brother Yuan!"

Yuan Lishu immediately waved his hand and said, "It's just a small favor. Anyway, Master Xu will be one of our Wu County people in the future. The fact that the eldest son's family came to pay their respects to Master Xu just solves your urgent problem, Brother Lu."

Lu Mingyi nodded and said, "If it weren't for Brother Yuan, I'm afraid my legs would have been broken by my parents by now. I didn't dare mention this to my parents at all."

"If you ask me, there's no need to bring up such a trivial matter with your father. Judging from Mr. Xu's expression, he doesn't seem to be seriously going to call your parents. He's probably just trying to scare you a little in class."
