Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Yao Family Leaves Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Yao Family Leaves Qi Chan finished handling his matters and left. The next day, he met with the Imperial Decree Officer who had returned from the courier station.
The third day, Yao Tianqin and his family were ready to set off and return to the capital.
Shu Yu specifically took a day off to send them off together with her family.
At the city gate, there were quite a few people, not only the Lu family, but also other families who had frequent interactions with the Yao Family over the years, even those who previously had conflicts with the Yao Family came with smiling faces to see them off, stuffing many items into the carriage.
Shu Yu also saw the rumored Imperial Decree Officer from the Ministry of Personnel, surnamed Wan, who appeared to be around forty, thin and sallow-faced, probably due to excessive blood loss from a previous injury.
He and Qi Chan seemed to be acquaintances, chatting at the city gate for a while before heading over to see off the Yao family.
Yao Tianqin said his goodbyes to everyone and finally came in front of the Lu family.
They had said everything they needed to say before, he just patted Lu Erbai on the shoulder with a smile, âWe are leaving now, keep in touch often, you all take care as well.â
âBon voyage.â
The Lu family waved their hands, and the caravan slowly set off.
The Yao family had quite a bit of luggage as well, having lived here for five years, they took whatever they could, and most of what they couldnât take was given to Lu Erbaiâs house.
Erbai knew his familyâs situation well; they werenât going to stay here much longer, so these items were a waste for them.
But Yao Tianqin, who had a good relationship with him, thought they were just polite remarks and insisted on giving them. He also told him that he could give them to anyone he wanted if he ever left, and he wouldnât mind.
Thus, the larger furniture from the Yao Family ended up being stored in the Lu familyâs firewood shed.
Yao Tianqinâs departure didnât affect Shu Yu much, but Lu Erbai was clearly feeling a bit sad.
Luckily, Yao Tianqin left behind many drafts and diagrams, and Lu Erbai, eager as ever, had already absorbed quite a bit. He planned to try making some in a few days; he would be busy.
After seeing off the Yao Family, Shu Yu bid farewell to Qi Chan, then returned to the family courtyard with her family.
She had just entered the room and had a sip of water when Meng Yunzheng came over, holding a stack of books.
He hadnât gone to send off Yao Tianqin; they werenât close, and besides, the Imperial Decree Officer and Qi Chan were present at the scene.
It seems that he had taken this time to buy quite a few books at the bookstore.
Shu Yu took out the top book, âComprehensive Rhymes,â âWhy did you suddenly buy so many?â
âThese two are for Dahu; I tested him during the New Year, he learns quickly and has insight. Heâs already very familiar with enlightening texts like âThousand Character Classicâ and âBook of Family Namesâ and recognizes many common characters; naturally, itâs time for something else.â
Shu Yu flipped through âComprehensive Rhymes,â the lines like âone bundle, two winters, three bellsâ made her feel dizzy for a moment.
She then silently placed back the next book, âErya.â
Not easy for a six or seven-year-old childâs reading.
Sympathized with Dahu for a second, Shu Yu then looked at the remaining stack of books on the table, âThese arenât for Dahu, right?â
âOf course not, Dahu is still self-studying at home. Books like the Four Books and Five Classics are not urgent; he can wait until he goes back to school to learn them.â Of course, if he mastered these few books first, Meng Yunzheng wouldnât mind teaching him earlier.
âThese books are for my own reading.â
Shu Yu paused, then gestured with her hand, this stack of books wasnât small at all.
