255 Chess Piece

In the end, he was just a chess piece in his past life. Thinking of this, Xue Yan’s eyes darkened. Fortunately, he was eating with his head down, and no one saw him.

Although Jiang Yue didn’t see the change in Xue Yan’s expression, she saw that Xue Yan paused for a moment before returning to normal.

However, she didn’t ask anything and just ate her own food.

“Xue Yan, hehe, let me tell you,” Xue Dagui came over excitedly and squatted beside Xue Yan, one arm wrapped around Xue Yan’s thin shoulder. “You’re really dense aren’t you? You can’t even go back to school now. I heard that many people have already been in a private school for a few years, but they can’t even get into the initiation class. Why did you come back to the farm? If you had continued to study in that academy, you would have had a great future.”

“Why are you asking Xue Yan about silly things?” Xue Dafu said unhappily, subconsciously protecting his son.

Xue Yan’s heart naturally felt warm.

“I was just saying. Xue Dagui chuckled. “Isn’t this a pity for Xue Yan? Fine, fine, fine, I won’t talk about him anymore. I’ll talk about Gouzi. I think he isn’t cut out for the academy. He’s studied in a private school for a few years and knows a handful of words, but he still can’t get it. If Gouzi doesn’t know a single character, he definitely can’t get in. I also heard that the Hanlin Academy is more expensive than before. I thought about it and decided to let Gouzi study in a private school instead.”

“Will the private school work?” Yu Hongyan asked immediately.

“Hehe, it’s not like he’s going to be an academic, and I don’t expect him to be a scholar. What’s wrong with a private school?” Xue Dagui said. “I found a private school opened by a scholar who always failed to pass the imperial examination. He specializes in teaching illiterate people to read and write. I was hoping that Gouzi could learn to read so that he could find a job in town. If Gouzi had Xue Yan’s brain, I would definitely think of a way to get him into the Hanlin Academy, but he doesn’t. It’s useless to get him in. Moreover, this private school only costs two silver a year, but food and drinks are calculated separately. In short, it’s much less than the Hanlin Academy. I’ve already paid the money, and in two days, Gouzi will be going to that private school to study and learn how to read.”

Liu Guixia didn’t agree with this method. “He hasn’t even tried, and you already think that he’s not cut out for studying? Isn’t it a little bad to send him to a private school with this assumption?”

Xue Dagui chuckled. “A private school has its benefits. If he’s really cut out to study, then he’ll do better than others in the private school. It won’t be too late to let him try to get into Hanlin Academy after that.

“That’s true.” Liu Guixia smiled and nodded.

“Oh right, where are Erfu, Sifu, and Wufu? Why haven’t I seen them yet?” Only then did Xue Dagui realize that the three of them weren’t there.

“They went to town.”

“They went to town too? If I had known, I would have gone with them. Alright, alright, I’ll be leaving then. Hehe, I’m going back to see if Gouzi is back. That d*mn kid didn’t even eat breakfast before he went to see Zhang Meili. Zhang Meili is already dead and she didn’t treat him well at all, but he still insisted on going. Don’t you think he’s too softhearted?”

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Xue Dagui walked away while cursing.

Seeing that he had left, Li Hehua opened her eyes wide and whispered with a strange look, “Looks like he really wants to send Gouzi to study.”

Liu Guixia sighed. “Sometimes, I don’t understand that man. He considers whether Gouzi should study in a private school or in the Hanlin Academy yet he’s cursing that kid. Strange.”
