Chapter 523 Dr. Zhou Has a Bold Request

There's simply no other reason. The entire yard is filled with flowers, so beautiful that you can't tear your eyes away, and your feet seem to be rooted to the spot...

Out of the city, almost no distance at all was Shatin Gold, and the Li family wasn't in a hurry to rush back.

Li Laoer, seeing the two children's curiosity, introduced them to all the flowers and plants in the courtyard. The children were intrigued and followed along, listening attentively to the lively explanations.

Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng were so enamored with the garden that they wished they could move it back to the academy!

At last, after a whole circuit, Dr. Zhou and Mr. Peng reluctantly entered the house for tea.

Li La Er saw that their eyes were still fixed on the outside, it was truly delightful and amusing. He said: "In seven or eight days, Baihuayuan will open its doors to welcome guests. At that time, if the Dean and Master are willing to come over and admire the flowers, they are most welcome."

"In the eastern garden, a greenhouse should still be built. During winter, the director and sir could enjoy basking in the sun, admiring flowers, and sipping tea together in the greenhouse, wouldn't that be delightful"

Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng nodded in agreement, their faces beaming with smiles. Only when they saw the Jia Ren brothers standing nearby did they remember the business at hand.

President Zhou didn't beat around the bush. He asked straightforwardly, "Master, I heard that our family has a fleet going to Quanzhou, and both Ji An and Ji Xi are also going out with the ship to study abroad"

Li Lao Er nodded, this matter the family didn't want to hide, and couldn't hide it either.

Because Jia An and Jia Xi's departure will last for two or three months, the academy needs to apply for leave. The reason for the leave must be clearly stated, otherwise, the academy cannot allow students to leave at will.

I just don't know what the director is thinking by asking that...

"The dean said that my elder brother's restaurant specializes in seafood. Since our family always travels between Xindu and Quanzhou, we have a fleet of three or five small boats to make it convenient."

"Both Jia An and Jia Xi, those two boys, aren't the quiet type. They probably won't amount to much if they just stick to studying. I'm thinking of letting them go on a trip at sea, broaden their horizons. If they can find a line of work they enjoy and that will support them, all the better!"

What was said was indeed true. Both President Zhou and Mr. Peng nodded in agreement.

Many people send their children to academies as if all their worries are gone, wishing they could send in a blank slate who comes out as a successful scholar!

Actually, learning isn't that easy. There's a big difference between students and students.

Some people are naturally gifted and find it easy to pass the civil service exams. They only need to put in seven points of effort to succeed.

But some lack insight and have too much of a playful spirit. They are not really suited for serious study, so even after four or five years at the academy, it would be difficult to pass the examination and become a student.

This kind of family, it's truly rare to find such understanding people!

Don't rely solely on the academy and understand your child's temperament. Anticipate their needs and pave the way for them in advance.

Dean Zhou had mixed feelings in his heart, but when he spoke, he made a request, "To be frank with you, sir, there are some students at our academy who have studied for three to five years and possess good knowledge. However, their horizons are narrow, and they have always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to go out and see the world. However, due to safety concerns, we haven't been able to arrange it."

The other day, I received a letter from an old friend. He's a teacher at the Hanhai Academy in Quanzhou and invited our students to visit and exchange ideas, furthering our knowledge.

"It so happens that I heard your fleet is sailing to Quanzhou. I wonder if you could possibly take some of our academy's teachers and students aboard Of course, all their food and lodging expenses would be covered by our academy."

Li Laoer had a vague guess in his heart. Hearing this, he felt a little embarrassed.

First, the fleet doesn't belong to him; it belongs to his big brother, so he can't call the shots.

Furthermore, students from the academy are valuable. Although the academy will send teachers to accompany them, what if there's an accident on the road The Li family would be held responsible in any case.

But the headmaster, in order to save face, put forth a request. If he were to be flatly refused, it would also damage their mutual reputation. Moreover, several of their children were still studying at the academy, and this would certainly lead to some awkwardness in the future.

He quickly thought about it in his mind and said, “Dean, according to reason, the students of the academy should go abroad for study, and our family should try our best to support them. But this time, I'm afraid I will disappoint the Dean!

"

The head knows, our family's fleet of boats is mainly tasked with transporting fish, and there are deadlines for both coming and going. This time we have to set sail immediately and it’s unlikely that we can wait for the students to make arrangements.

And such fishing boats are generally large in the hold, with only one or two cabins above. The smell is very fishy. The fishermen are used to it, and our Li family also came from humble beginnings. Our children are tough and not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid students and scholars wouldn't be able to stand it.

The Dean felt a bit disappointed, but he also knew what Lao Er said made sense.

He suddenly received a letter, and overjoyed, he didn't think things through.

I thought that boarding a ship was all it took, but in reality, accommodation, food, and safety along the way all need to be carefully arranged.

"Well, then I guess that's it. I'll have to think of another way!" Dean Zhou frowned, clearly unwilling to give up on this opportunity, and the Li family wasn't much help either.

Li Lao'er smiled and said, "The Dean isn't someone who spends their time walking on water all the time. It's understandable that they wouldn't understand the difficulties involved."

Dr. Zhou nodded and bowed, "Thank you, sir, for your reminder. I'm truly grateful for your visit today."

After sitting for a while, Dr. Zhou and Mr. Peng got up to say goodbye. After all, the Li family still had to return to Suijintan.

Two scholars emerged from our family, this deserves celebration!

Li Lao'er invited them to a feast, Zhou Zhangyuan smiled and said: "This is not urgent, wait until the two children pass the examination as juren, and have a celebratory drink together!"

Everyone laughed and sent the two of them to the door.

Not until the carriage carrying the students drove away did the Li family, young and old, hurry onto their own carriage to return home.

As expected, they hadn't gone far outside the city when they met Liu, the鏢頭, coming out to greet them.

"Haha, you're back!" Liu Daibiao laughed. "Everyone has been waiting anxiously. The village has already started preparing the banquet. Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen, as well as the five members of the Liu family, are all here."

The village headmen of Dafui**un and Dawanzhuang, along with hundreds of villagers, arrived. The village was crowded with people!

The village head decided to kill two fat pigs, and each household scrambled to contribute silver to celebrate with the two scholar sons.

Hearing this, the old and young of the Li family were overjoyed and hurried back to the village on horseback.

As soon as the carriage entered the village, it was surrounded by villagers. When Jia Ren and Li Ge'er got out of the carriage, the villagers cheered.

Even some young lads carried Jiaren and Lig'er up, directly into Li's courtyard.

Jia Ren and Li Ge'er blushed, worried about falling down, and clasped their hands together to bow to the villagers.

The villagers were delighted, such a young scholar!

It's another double success! Counting the entire Tianshu, there are probably not many such occasions of double good fortune!

The village head and Uncle Zhao were chatting with Old Master Liu, Liu Ziheng, and Mr. Wen in the house when they heard the commotion outside. They went to the doorway and all burst into laughter upon seeing what was happening.

Liuzhiheng was envious, he patted the heads of his two sons, "See that, you two better study hard and be as impressive as Jiaren and Li Ge."

As a result, before he could finish his words, Old Master Liu slapped him. “You have the brain of an elm tree! You can't study, and now you blame the child!”ing asleep.When the sun rises in the morning, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives.The academy had a two-day holiday, but they still had evening classes last night. So when Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru returned...
