Originally, according to Zeng Rong's intention, she wanted to bring Zeng Hua out together, but Tian Shuilan didn't agree, she was like a mirror in her heart, and she could help her do a lot of things if she kept Zeng Hua.

There was no way, Zeng Rong had to take a step back, let Zeng Hua live with her in the academy at night, get up early in the morning and go up the mountain with her to dig herbs, the herbs dug up are counted as parents', from breakfast to dinner, Zeng Hua stayed at Zeng's house to help do some chores within his ability.

Tian Shuilan nodded at her husband when she heard that this would not delay Zeng Hua to help feed the pigs and wash the clothes, and she could also have some extra income.

Seeing this, Zeng Rong didn't want to delay for a moment and went into the house to pack his things, rummaged through the house, and didn't find anything valuable, but turned out a bunch of old and torn clothes, some of which were hers, some of which were Zeng Hua's, and some of which should have been left by her biological mother, and they were also patched.

There was no baggage, Zeng Rong found a clean basket and carried the old clothes she could wear and left, she had to strike while the iron was hot, and let the patriarch and the third uncle send her directly to the academy, firstly, to learn to identify herbs as soon as possible with Ouyang Si's time, and secondly, because she was afraid that her family would regret it.

In fact, Zeng Rong wants to live in the academy for another purpose, she wants to learn to read and write with the gentlemen and students of the academy, otherwise, when she sees Xu Jing in the future, she will not be able to explain that she can read and embroider.

Half an hour later, Zeng Rong followed her father, the patriarch and the third uncle into the academy, she herself had no impression of the academy, but fortunately, Granny Liu lived in the gatehouse by the gate of the academy, and she didn't need to go inside.

It is said to be the gatehouse, but in fact there are three bright houses, one of which is for Granny Liu, one is a stove room, and the other is a restaurant.

Therefore, she was very happy to see Zeng Rong move in, saying that she had a talking partner, and she had already heard of Zeng Rong's diligence, because of this, she also bowed a tear of sympathy for Zeng Rong's jumping into the lake.

The patriarch obviously didn't want to spread this matter, and he didn't come to listen to Granny Liu's tongue, so he left after explaining the two things that Granny Liu and Zeng Rong should pay attention to.

Zeng Youqing walked with Zeng Chengchun, not long after the two left, Zeng Fuxiang led Zeng Hua to come, they sent Zeng Rong freshly boiled medicine and bedding, and in addition, they also took four eggs for Zeng Rong.

Because there were still a lot of things to do in the farmland, Zeng Fuxiang helped Zeng Rong make the bed and left with Zeng Hua, but he didn't forget to say a few good words to Granny Liu, begging her to take care of Zeng Rong.

This meal, because Zeng Rong was still relatively weak, did not go down to the ground to eat with those students, she sat on the bed alone to eat, after the meal, she lay on the bed and slept for a long time, and when she woke up, she felt that her body was much lighter, so she got out of bed to help Granny Liu do something, nothing else, it was okay to help burn the fire.

In Zeng Rong's intentional or unintentional clichés, she knew that there were a total of nine gentlemen in the entire academy, including Ouyang Si, a temporary one, and there were about one hundred and twenty or thirty students, most of whom were villagers from nearby villages, and there were also people from other towns and towns who came to the town, these people from other towns needed to live in the academy, and naturally they also had to eat, but fortunately, there were not many such people, there were only eighteen in total, in other words, Granny Liu had to prepare two meals for these twenty-seven people every day, which was not a small workload.

Fortunately, the academy is relatively poor, and Granny Liu only needs to prepare one dish for each meal, and she can barely cope with it.

Because most of these students were the same age as Zeng Rong, Zeng Rong still avoided them during dinner, and still brought some food back to his room to eat.

After dinner, because the sky was still bright, Zeng Rong pulled Granny Liu around the academy, she was afraid that someone would show her stuffing when someone asked in the future, after all, the eldest sister had run to the academy before, and it was basically the eldest sister who had contracted to deliver food to the second brother.

This academy is built on the mountainside, the whole academy is not as big as the back garden of the Xu family, there are only four houses in total, plus a gatehouse, a zigzag building, divided into three classes of A, B and C, each class has a house, and the extra house is where gentlemen and students from other places live.

The house is relatively old at a glance, but because it is a blue brick house, it does not look dilapidated, the most eye-catching is the four osmanthus trees in the four corners of the yard, as high as five or six zhang, it takes two adults to hug it, and it has a history of hundreds of years at a glance.

In addition, there are some peach trees and plum trees planted in the middle of the yard, this will be the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the plum blossoms are basically gone, there are still a lot of Luoying on the ground, and there are also two students who hold the book and lean under the flower tree to read, seeing this, Zeng Rong pulled Granny Liu back to his hut.

That night, when it was dark, Zeng Fuxiang sent Zeng Hua over, because Granny Liu was there, Zeng Rong didn't ask much.

Early the next morning, Zeng Rong felt that his body was much better, and he originally wanted to follow Ouyang Si to the mountain to collect medicine with Zeng Hua, but Ouyang Si still let her stay in bed for two more days after Ouyang Si checked her pulse, so Zeng Rong had to give up.

An hour later, Ouyang Si led Zeng Hua back, the two of them each came back with a basket full of herbs, in front of Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua, Ouyang Si poured out the herbs in the basket, and then taught Zeng Rong to identify them one by one, and at the same time taught Zeng Rong to take the test to see if she had memorized it.

Zeng Rong had studied herbs with Ouyang Si last time, and she was an adult soul, so it was easy to remember the names of these herbs, but to her surprise, Zeng Hua was not slow to learn, and her ability to accept them was much stronger than that of a normal six-year-old child.

Linked to the shyness and admiration in Zeng Hua's eyes that could not be concealed when he looked at Ouyang Si, Zeng Rong once again believed in the fact that Zeng Hua's body lived in his eldest sister.

But despite this, at this time, she didn't mean to recognize the eldest sister, the eldest sister only lived for twelve years in the last life, and she didn't have any opinions, she was afraid that she would be in trouble if she was too excited to reveal the secrets of the two.

On this morning, Ouyang Si not only taught Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua how to identify herbal medicines, but also taught them how to simply trim and classify the medicinal materials and dry them, as well as the approximate purchase price of each medicinal material.

After dinner that day, Ouyang Si took a pen and paper by himself, and wrote down the names of these medicinal materials one by one in the restaurant to teach Zeng Rong to know.

For three days in a row, Zeng Rong did not go up the mountain with Ouyang Si, but Ouyang Si and Zeng Hua came back every morning with two baskets of herbs, some of these herbs coincided with the previous day, and some were new varieties, and Ouyang Si would still write down the names of the new herbs with a pen in addition to teaching Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua to identify the new herbs.

In addition, in the past three days, Ouyang Si also used a hundred copper plates to "teach" Zeng Rong a simple addition and subtraction within a hundred.
