230 A Full Sense Of Accomplishment
He had thought that the children would be infected by his rebellion and become arrogant and rude, but he didn’t expect them to be so well-educated and polite at such a young age. They weren’t arrogant or self-abased, and they maintained their own distinct personalities. They were much better than the disciples of many great teachers.
“I’m not as good as you say, Mr. Lin. I just want my babies to grow up healthy and happy. Mr. Lin, are you willing to accept my babies into the academy at the beginning of autumn?”
Mo Ruyue was not here to listen to Lin Zhiyuan praise her. The purpose of this trip was to prove her babies’ abilities and finally achieve the goal of being admitted to the school.
“If Lady Qin doesn’t mind this one’s shallow knowledge, it is this one’s fortune to be able to take in your children as students.”
Lin Zhiyuan cupped his hands slightly at Mo Ruyue, having already agreed to this.
“Then, Mr. Lin, how are you planning to treat Tang Tang?”
Mo Ruyue asked again. In fact, she also felt that she was asking too much. There was only one girl in this mountain village’s private school, and it was indeed too inconvenient.
However, she could make a house call at any time now. After the successful surgery of the prefect’s daughter, there would be more surgery cases coming to her door in the future. It was destined that she could not bring Tang Tang with her.
Sending her to a women’s college in another city was not in her plan. At least, she would not consider it before she was ten years old.
“I’ve thought about this just now. My wife is also from a scholar’s family. Although she’s not a shockingly talented woman, she’s also well-read and knows music and painting. If Lady Qin doesn’t mind, I’ll let my wife take care of Tang Tang on her behalf.”
“She’ll also teach her the same as other students, so Lady Qin can rest assured.”
Mo Ruyue felt that this was a good arrangement. Although she had not met Lin Zhiyuan’s wife yet, from his description, she should be a very beautiful woman.
A man with an upright character like him would not look at that kind of vulgar and rude woman. On this point, Mo Ruyue felt that she had some insight into people.
“Then, I’ll see you again when the private school opens for lessons in early autumn.”
Mo Ruyue then briefly discussed some matters related to admission. Looking at the excited looks of her babies, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
Mo Ruyue left the private school with the five babies. The Liu couple followed behind. Everyone’s face was full of smiles. Even Mo Ruyue’s smile had not faded.
When Du Zhongheng saw the expressions on everyone’s faces, he knew that he had succeeded. He also revealed a big smile.
In fact, he was not worried at all in terms of knowledge. The five babies were all smart, and he had taught them well. They were no worse than anyone else.
He was still worried that the babies would be affected by his reputation of being young and frivolous. Now that he saw that the thing he was worried about did not happen, he was naturally greatly relieved.
The five babies walked to Du Zhongheng’s side and suddenly, as if they had made an appointment in advance, stood in a row and bowed deeply to him in unison. They said respectfully, “Thank you for your careful cultivation, Mr. Du!”
Du Zhongheng didn’t expect to see this scene and was stunned. His heart ached, and he suddenly realized that he was going to be separated from this group of lovely children.
The time they had spent together wasn’t long nor short, it had been two months. The various things that had happened in these two months flashed in front of his eyes one by one, actually making him feel a sense of reluctance.
“Good, good!”
Du Zhongheng patted the babies’ shoulders one by one. When it was Qin Qingwan’s turn, he patted his head affectionately.
At the thought that he would not be able to teach these babies any more knowledge in the future, Du Zhongheng could not help but feel a burst of regret. If only he could teach them more when they were together all the time.
“There are still seven or eight days before the start of the school term. If Mr. Du doesn’t mind, please take care of the babies for a few more days.”
It was as if Mo Ruyue did not see Du Zhongheng’s reluctance and very naturally made a request to him.
“Why would I mind? Of course I’m happy to!”
Du Zhongheng didn’t expect Mo Ruyue to say this. If he could spend a few more days with the babies, he would be willing to spend even a day or two, let alone a few days!
“I came back temporarily today. I can’t completely let go of the patient in the clinic, but I’ll be fine in five or six days.”
Mo Ruyue’s words were meant for Du Zhongheng and also for the babies. She had been away from home for too long, so she had to give them something to look forward to.
“Alright, Lady Qin, you can rest assured! I’ll take care of them during the day, and Uncle Liu and aunt Liu will also take care of them at night, so you don’t have to worry!”
Du Zhongheng was in an extremely good mood, and even his voice was filled with laughter.
“Lady Qin, please come with me.”
Aunt Liu suddenly tugged at Mo Ruyue and whispered to her.
Mo Ruyue followed Aunt Liu to the side. After making sure that the babies were joking with Du Zhongheng and couldn’t hear them, Aunt Liu asked in a low voice, “Madam Qin, when we left today, we happened to see the second branch of the Qin family entering the city. I heard that they were going to pay the fine. At that time, I asked them to help bring you a message.”
“Qin Qingyuan agreed to it, but did he bring the news?”
When Mo Ruyue heard this, she immediately understood why Qin Qingyuan had said those words earlier. It turned out that he really knew where the babies were, but he had deliberately used it as a condition in exchange for some benefits.
“No, he didn’t say anything.”
Mo Ruyue immediately said without hesitation.
She didn’t want Qin Qingyuan to leave a good impression on Aunt Liu.
“He didn’t tell you? How could that be? Even if you’ve split up, Qingyan and the others are still his blood brothers. Why didn’t he tell you about this when he saw you?”
Aunt Liu asked in surprise.
Qin Qingyuan had a very good reputation in the village. It was said that the Qin family had produced a good bamboo shoot, and he was the only boy that people could not stop praising.
Obviously, the villagers did not take the four boys of the Qin family’s eldest branch seriously. It was no wonder. At that time, the five babies did not have enough food, clothes, or warmth. It was difficult for them to survive, not to mention learning and writing.
“He couldn’t keep it a secret, but when I couldn’t find the babies at home, he thought of using their information to exchange for some benefits. For example, he asked me to pretend that I didn’t see him take an extra tael of silver from the Qin family’s money box. ”
Mo Ruyue disdained to gossip behind people’s backs, especially when Qin Qingyuan was still a child. However, his character was too bad and he was very scheming. He was much more difficult to deal with than Qin Xu, who was bad on the surface.
Of course, she wouldn’t fall for it, but people like Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, who were kind by nature, could be easily deceived.
“What? How is that possible?”
As expected, Aunt Liu looked at Mo Ruyue in shock. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
But she also knew that Mo Ruyue wasn’t someone who would gossip. If she didn’t really dislike him, she wouldn’t have told her about this.
