Yu Youyao knelt respectfully and kowtowed to Ms. Ye seriously. “I’ve been taught and enlightened by you since I was young. I was mischievous and stupid but you didn’t abandon me. You taught me carefully and patiently. I feel that I’ve received benefits that have impacted my entire life. Please accept my bow.”
In the past, Yu Youyao had only treated her respectfully because Ms. Ye was her teacher. However, today, she was giving her a proper disciple’s greeting. Ms. Ye was a little surprised.
Before she could react, Yu Youyao kowtowed again. “Tomorrow, I’ll leave the capital on a merchant ship. I’m afraid I won’t be able to show my respect to you in the future. Please accept my bow again.”
Ms. Ye understood a little. It wasn’t that she hadn’t noticed the undercurrents in the Yu Residence recently.
After the side door of the First and Second Mansions was blocked, the side door of the Xiaoxiang Courtyard opened. The sisters of the Second Mansion went to school every day and came in directly from the side door of the Xiaoxiang Courtyard.
Before Old Madam Yu passed away, the Yu Residence had already prepared a generous gift and arranged for a carriage to send her home.
It wasn’t until two days ago that they arranged for someone to invite her back respectfully.
Today, Yu Youyao was bidding farewell to her. She was probably going to Quanzhou and did not know when she would return.
Yu Youyao kowtowed again. “l will be leaving but I can’t bear to part with you. I hope that you will live a long and healthy life in the future. Please accept my bow again.”
After bowing three times and thanking her teacher, Ms. Ye quickly helped her up. ‘Get up quickly. The ground is very cold. You’ve just recovered a little, so you have to be careful.”
The master and disciple sat in the room and chatted.
Yu Youyao suddenly said, “Ms. Ye, the court hasn’t been peaceful in the past two years. Mr. Xian Yun has opened Chongshan Academy in Youzhou. Mr. Hu Shan will also go to Youzhou soon.”
Back then, Mr. Hu Shan owed her grandfather a favor. When her grandmother was at her lowest, she never thought of using this favor. Instead, she used this favor to ask Mr. Hu Shan to enter the Yu Residence to teach her.
Mr. Hu Shan had been in the Yu Residence for seven to eight years.
Now that her grandmother had passed away, no matter how big a favor she owed, it was time to consider whether to stay or leave,
Ms. Ye was slightly stunned. She vaguely understood what Yu Youyao meant.
Indeed!
Yu Youyao changed the topic and said, “l also plan to start a women’s school in Youzhou. I wonder if you’re interested?”
It wasn’t a sudden interest to start a women’s school.
Instead, she had considered it for a long time.
It did not matter if a woman became an official or not. What was important was that studying more could broaden her horizons and breadth of mind. In this world, the restrictions and rules on women would be less strict. With a broader mind, there would be more paths to choose, and more ways to live.
She just hoped that a woman could use the power of knowledge to make her life better.
Ms. Ye’s hands trembled. As a woman, she had felt the inferiority of women to men and suddenly understood what Yu Youyao was thinking.
This was a kind of like-minded agreement.
They both thought the same way.
After all, she was different from Yu Youyao. Compared to her, she had more scruples. “l signed a seven-year long contract with the Yu Residence. There’s still a year left.”
Yu Youyao was a little disappointed. This was Ms. Ye’s excuse.
However, she could understand.
Ms. Ye was a divorcee. Even though she had become a female teacher, it was only limited to the inner residence. To start a women’s school, she needed to really leave the inner residence.
Ms. Ye would also be criticized.
If Ms. Ye was alone, with her personality, she would definitely dare to let go.
But she wasn’t.
She still had the huge Ye family behind her.
The largest literary family in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
To Ms. Ye, Madam Ye of Linjiang was the reason why she dared to become a female teacher after her divorce.
This was also her baggage.
Yu Youyao held Ms. Ye’s hand and placed a letter in her hand. “This is a travel pass to Youzhou. It was personally signed by King Yue Fei. In the future, if there’s a chance, Ms. Ye can use this travel pass to go to the Yue Fei’s
Residence in the capital first. At that time, they will escort you to Youzhou.” She did not want Ms. Ye to go to Youzhou just to run a female school.
Most importantly, the Great Zhou Dynasty was about to be in chaos. After all, the capital was a chaotic place. She was her teacher so she naturally did not want Ms. Ye to be in danger.
Nis. Ye took the letter and solemnly put it away. “Thank you!’
She was not a fool. This travel pass was undoubtedly her disciple’s greatest guarantee in the capital. No matter what, Youzhou would always be a way out.
In the afternoon, Nanny Xu brought some servants who were willing to leave the capital with Yu Youyao and went to the ship to settle down first.
Tao Da t s family included Chun Xiao and Old Madam Sun’s family included Dong Mei. They were all children of the family. Old Madam Yu had long taught them well. The people she had arranged for Yu Youyao were all taking care of her, so they definitely had to follow her.
Qiu Xing and Xia Tao had signed death contracts. Their lives had nothing to do with their families, so they were willing to follow her.
Liu’er couldn’t bear to part with Old Madam Ma and didn’t want to leave. However, she was had been fililal to Old Madam Ma for the past few years. Out of consideration for their relationship, she persuaded her to leave with Yu Youyao.
On the other hand, Qin Xin, who did not have much of a presence in the Jade Courtyard, did not follow her because she was worried about her family.
Most of the people from the Jade Courtyard left.
The next morning, Xie Jingliu arrived at the Yu Residence,
Yu Youyao brought Yu Shansi to bid farewell to his elders and got into the Xie family’s carriage, heading all the way to the dock.
Yin Huaixi rode his horse.
The large three- story ship stopped at the dock. Just as Yu Youyao was about to step onto the deck, she seemed to hear someone calling her.
Yu Youyao subconsciously turned around and saw QI Sinian wearing a purple cloak with a furred collar that reached her waist. She was riding a horse and chasing after the dock. When she reached the dock, she jumped off the horse and waved at Yu Youyao before striding over.
Yu Youyao quickly went up to her.
Qi Sinian hugged Yu Youyao and patted her back hard. “Take care and take care. ”
These words expressed her reluctance to part.
Yu Youyao’s eyes turned red as she nodded vigorously. “Take care too!”
Qi Sinian untied the bag on her back and stuffed it into Yu Youyao’s hand. “Hurry up and leave. I also stole a horse from the stable at home. Remember to write to me in the future.’
Yu Youyao sniffed. “Okay!’
Qi Sinian turned around elegantly and waved at Yu Youyao. Only when Qi Sinian’s back view disappeared from the dock did Yu Youyao calm dovvn and go to the deck.
Yin Huaixi stood at the bow and reached out to her.
Yu Youyao smiled and placed her hand in her cousin’s.
Yin Huaixi tightened his grip and pulled Yu Youyao onto the boat.
As soon as Yu Youyao boarded the ship, she felt the ship shake slightly. Her feet couldn’t land on solid ground, and her body swayed as she fell into Yin
Huaixi’s arms..
