After following Madam Dong to the river a few times, Madam Yang could go alone now.
This was at the foot of the mountain. The laundry place was a little far from the other women in the village, so she would not meet many people. Madam Yang was also at ease.
After drying her clothes, Madam Yang immediately went to change her clothes happily.
The family set up the carriage. Gu Yundong asked Yunshu to inform Zeng Hu next door so that Madam Dong would not be anxious if she could not find them.
Then, she got into the carriage and set off for town.
Although they had all taken a carriage before, the carriage from before was rented. Now that it was their own, the feeling was definitely different.
Along the way, other than Gu Yundong, who was driving the carriage outside, the other three were all excited.
It took two hours to walk to town. It was much faster to take a carriage. They arrived in less than an hour.
Although Gu Yundong had been to the county city a few times, it was her first time in town. This place was naturally not as prosperous as the county city, but it was also very lively.
Gu Yundong first inquired about the place where the carriage could be stored. When she came out of the carriage, she also asked about the school in town.
There were a total of two schools in town. One of them was where Niu Dan was.
The teachers were a scholar in his forties and his son. His son usually enlightened students who had just entered the school. The students of the scholar were slightly older.
There was another school that was bigger than this first school. There were two scholars teaching. However, the difference was that this school accepted students based on money. Not to mention the problem of tuition, even the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone had to be bought by the school.
Anyone who had brains would know that there would definitely be a lot of commission in between.
Therefore, ordinary people could not afford to attend this school. Most of them were from families with good backgrounds in town.
Gu Yundong had never considered a second school from the beginning. Even the teachers in this school were like this. The atmosphere was too bad.
Hence, after asking for the address of the first school, she brought the three of them to the door.
Yunshu didn’t know at first. He just followed his sister and took a look at the town’s environment.
He only turned to look at Gu Yundong in surprise when he stood in front of a school called Wen Mo Hall. “Elder Sister, why are we here?”
He remembered that Niu Dan went to school here.
Gu Yundong squeezed his small hand. “1 brought you here to take a look. Why? You don’t want to come?”
Gu Yunshu was stunned, but his watery eyes seemed to glow.
He wanted to come, of course he wanted to come. Niu Dan had told him a lot about the school. He didn’t know how much he yearned for it, but his family was poor. He heard that all the money was spent on the house and the carriage.
Studying cost a lot of money. He didn’t want to add to his sister’s burden.
Gu Yunshu pursed his lips and made up his mind. Just as he was about to say that he did not want to come, he looked up and realized that his eldest sister had already gone forward to speak to the concierge.
After a while, she came back and led them through the door.
This place was not big. According to Niu Dan, they had two classes. One was a preparation class, and they were all children of his age. The other class was on the other side. Those students were all above the age of ten and were prepared for the scientific examination.
Gu Yundong led the three of them all the way there. They could hear the students from the preparation class reading. They could vaguely hear Niu Dan’s voice mixed in.
When they were about to reach the central room, they suddenly heard a stern voice coming from the corner.
“What did 1 tell you? Look at what you did.. Did you listen to the Master?”
