127 This Child Is Really Transparent

Mo Ruyue didn’t think that she would be defeated by Da Bao and couldn’t help but retort.

That’s why they say that sometimes children aren’t cute at all, especially smart children!

Mo Ruyue secretly rolled her eyes before telling him why she had come to find Da Bao.

“Tell me, do you really not want to take the path of imperial examinations?”

She had learned her lesson this time and said it directly. Even if she didn’t say it, this smart person would have guessed it.

“I did think about it, but after thinking about it, I realized it wasn’t necessary.”

Da Bao answered without hesitation.

He had now learned to be direct with Mo Ruyue, and this way of getting along made him feel very comfortable.

She wasn’t a narrow-minded person. As long as it was within a reasonable range, she would completely encourage her babies to try and leave no regrets.

“Not necessary?”

Mo Ruyue didn’t understand what Da Bao meant when he said it was unnecessary.

“I used to think that if I could pass the imperial examinations and become the top scholar, I would be able to become a high-ranking official. In the future, no one would dare to slander you and bully my siblings. But after thinking about it, if I don’t sit in the highest position, I will still be stepped on by others. What’s the use of that? ”

“So, I gave up. Either I don’t do it, or I do it, I’ll do it to the best of my ability.”

Da Bao’s reply was resolute and decisive. Mo Ruyue suddenly had a feeling that she had unintentionally… really cultivated a big villain who wanted to be the emperor.

When Mo Ruyue thought of that conjecture, three black lines appeared on her forehead. Now, she felt that it was not bad that Da Bao did not take the imperial examination as an official. Otherwise, if he really had any disloyal thoughts in the future, that would not be good.

However, a soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier. A soldier who did not want to be an official of the emperor…

Forget it, what’s the matter!

She first shook her head, then nodded. “Alright, if that’s the case, I’ll pay that gentleman a visit tomorrow. If he’s suitable and gets along with you, then it’ll be him.”

Da Bao also nodded and said, “Mother is right, but you’ve overlooked one point.” In order to not let our nature be bound by etiquette, you invited such an initiate teacher for us, but when we go to the private school, we still have to follow the rules of etiquette, then what we did before would be useless, right?”

Mo Ruyue thought that Da Bao was going to say something and couldn’t help but laugh when she heard this.

This child was really perceptive. He had already thought of this problem.

“That’s why that person will be your teacher of enlightenment. Although it’s only for a few months, he will shape your outlook on life from now on. In other words, the foundation he has laid now will affect your entire life, just like what I’m doing now.”

Da Bao hesitated for a moment. His eyes were a little confused as he said, “But he’s only going to teach us for a few months. In autumn, my younger brothers and I will definitely pass the teacher’s test. By then, we’ll have to accept years of learning.”

“Mother, aren’t you worried that our hearts will change because of this, and that the things we originally learned from the teacher will eventually be left with nothing?”

“If you guys don’t live with me, that’s possible. But the problem is, aren’t we living together?”

Mo Ruyue smiled again. “If you have any questions while you study, you can ask me. With my personality, it’s hard for you to become old-fashioned.”

She was just making fun of herself. In fact, the real answer involved the acquired influence and cultivation of one’s character. It could not be explained clearly in a few words, so Mo Ruyue only used the simplest and most clear way to dispel Da Bao’s doubts.

“I understand, Mother. You must have considered these problems.”

Da Bao nodded and bent down to wet the brush with water. He then splashed half a bucket of water on the big young mule and started to wash it.

Mo Ruyue didn’t know if he really understood, but with his brain, even if he didn’t understand for the time being, he would slowly figure out the correct meaning later.

After that, the mother and son worked together to wash the big young mule. Da Bao went back to continue studying while Mo Ruyue also started a new round of lesson preparation.

Even if there was a new teacher who would initiate them in the future, or if her babies went to a private school, she was afraid that she would not be able to change this habit.

There were many interesting things in the ancient books in the past. Even if she didn’t have to teach her babies in the future, she would still continue to read. This was much more interesting than killing people.

The next day, Mo Ruyue set off again before dawn. Her purpose today was to visit the young man called Du Zhongheng.

Now that it had been confirmed that the babies would not participate in the scientific examination, there was nothing to worry about. If Du Zhongheng was willing to be the babies’ teacher and get along with them, then this matter could be settled.

When Mo Ruyue arrived at the county, the city gate had not yet opened. However, she only waited for a short while before she successfully entered the city after the city gate opened.

According to the address given by the old imperial doctor, the person called Du Zhongheng lived in the Chengbei District of the county. This was the slums of the city. Those low shacks were squeezed together, and the poor people living inside didn’t even look as decent as an ordinary family in the Qin Village.

Mo Ruyue’s appearance was like the arrival of a well-dressed noble. Even if she was driving a carriage, in the eyes of those people, she had a lot of wealth.

Mo Ruyue only took a glance at the urban area entrance and decisively turned the carriage around.

It wasn’t that she was afraid of the gazes of greed that were cast on her. Even if she could easily walk around the northern district of the city without any damage, it didn’t mean that she could take the imperial carriage away completely.

Every alley here was pitifully narrow, as if they were trying to build as many shacks as possible to accommodate as many poor people as possible. The width of the alley was not even wide enough for an imperial carriage to pass through.

Mo Ruyue was very sure that as soon as she left, the imperial carriage would be completely divided, and not even a small piece of wood would be left behind.

Therefore, she decided to leave her carriage at the carriage store and walk back.

Going back and forth like this, she spent the time it took for an incense stick to burn. This time, when Mo Ruyue appeared in the Chengbei District of the city again, she was already out of carriage.

The entire Chengbei District of the city was a shack area, so there was no house number at all. However, Du Zhongheng’s residence was very obvious. It was actually a complete small courtyard.

It was a small house with green bricks and black tiles. It looked like the most common small houses in other parts of the city, but in this place where shacks were everywhere, it was so eye-catching.

“No wonder there was no house number in the address that Elder Tian gave me. He even said that I could see it at a glance without the house number. It’s indeed the case.”

Mo Ruyue suddenly smiled after seeing it. If she couldn’t see such an obvious small courtyard, she would really be blind.
