Chu Heng glanced at him and saw that his gaze had fallen on the Xiang family’s house. He understood what was going on, but he did not interfere. He just grunted and entered the Xiang family’s house.

He called Xiang Laoda, Xiang Laoer, and Xiang Zhifu into the house to talk to them alone.

Du Heng always felt that Brother Heng’s gaze was reminding him not to act rashly. However, thinking about it, even his sister-in-law could see through his thoughts. Brother Heng probably knew even earlier.

However, Chu Heng did not say anything. Did it mean that Chu Heng did not want to stop him?

Du Heng’s eyes lit up.

He raised his hand and instructed the coachman to fetch some water. He glanced at the kitchen and immediately got into the carriage, taking out paper, ink, brush, and inkstone.

After a while, the sound of children reading could be heard in the courtyard.

Ye Muyu had just finished explaining the things to take note of in the kitchen and confirmed the baking progress. When she heard the sound, she looked out of the window.

It turned out that Du Heng was teaching the children how to read.

She thought of the other party’s intentions and could not help but chuckle.

The eldest daughter-in-law’s eyes lit up when she saw her child sitting there. “Can Huzi study even though he’s already that old? I’m afraid that he’ll just mess around.”

“Who would complain about being late in learning to read? In the future, when the wood-ear business starts, wouldn’t you be scammed if you can’t read?” Ye Muyu knew that they understood this principle, but they just did not have the money to study.

She suggested, “There’s no need to use paper, ink, brush, and inkstone. You can take a tree branch and write on the sand table first. You can get to learn some words first. As for writing, you can practice it later. There’s no hurry.”

“What’s a sandbox?”

“It’s the sand from the river bank. Put it into a wooden box and smooth it after writing. First Cousin-in-law, I’ll let Young Master Du talk to you.” Ye Muyu looked at Du Heng and smiled.

“That won’t do. It’ll disturb him too much.” The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiang family waved her hand subconsciously.

“I think he’s quite happy about it.” Ye Muyu smiled.

As she spoke, she walked out and told Du Heng about it.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiang family, who followed behind her, was a little nervous, afraid that she would make Du Heng angry.

Du Heng saw this and understood that his sister-in-law was creating an opportunity for him. He immediately smiled warmly. “Sister-in-law, this is simple. Although writing with a branch will affect the use of a brush in the future, you should first learn how to write and recognize words. When your conditions are better, you can slowly practice writing. It’s not difficult.”

“However, if you want to take the imperial examination, you need to practice early. I will teach the children how to hold the brush. As long as they are willing to learn, even a branch will not affect their writing.”

Du Heng spoke frankly because he felt that the Xiang family had a simple personality. They were more willing to listen to the truth than to say those empty words.

As expected, Xiang Zhifu, who had just walked out of the house next door, heard his words and immediately nodded. “Young Master Du is right. We poor people don’t have the money to study. It’s good if we can read. As for the imperial examination, if one really wants to study, one can study hard no matter how hard it is. If one doesn’t want to study, no matter how good the conditions are, they can’t force themselves.”

“Huzi, Dazhuang, Xiaogao, Daniu, Hua’er, if you want to learn, even if you only know your own names, that’s good.”

“Your uncle gave me a book about learning some words. During this period of time, you should learn with this book. In the future, even if your uncle and the others go home, you can continue to study.”

“Ah Heng, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you guys for this period of time.”
