Chapter 1330: Ordinary

The group of kids played until the afternoon, and then Yun Zheng and his friends started to return to the city.

On the way back, Yun Zheng and his friends stopped by the school to pick up Shen Nianci and Qi Yan.

It just so happened that Yun Zheng also went to see what the new-style school in Shuofang looked like now.

When they arrived at the school, the class was not over yet.

Yun Zheng walked into the school and looked around.

The school is not very big, it is just like a slightly larger courtyard.

There are currently three classes in the entire school.

These classes are not divided according to the age of the children, but according to the educational level of these children.

There are not many teachers in the school. According to Ye Zi, there are only six teachers.

And Lan Hua is the only female teacher among them.

Because Lan Hua has a gentle personality, he is also the most popular teacher among these students.

Wu Qingyang and another teacher were mainly responsible for teaching mathematics and physics, the other four teachers taught Chinese studies, and Lan Hua occasionally taught these students music and painting.

There are both male and female students in the school, but male students are the majority.

Today's schools are no longer only for children of meritorious service, but also for children of common people who previously attended private schools.

However, the new-style schools will not accept illiterate children.

The main reason is that the size of the school is limited and it really cannot accommodate so many children.

Yun Zheng arrived outside the classroom of the advanced class that Ye Zi mentioned.

In the classroom, Wu Qingyang was teaching the children abacus, and the classroom was filled with crackling sounds.

Yun Zheng leaned forward slightly and saw Shen Nianci and Qi Yan through the window.

The two of them were busy fiddling with an abacus and didn't notice Yun Zheng outside the classroom at all.

Yun Zheng didn't disturb them. He just took a quick look and went to look at other classrooms.

The students in the intermediate class are okay, but the students in the beginner class don’t seem to be taking it seriously.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that some students in the junior class are relatively young.

Yun Zheng even saw two children inside who looked not much older than Yun Cang.

After watching silently for a while, Yun Zheng stepped aside, secretly wondering in his heart whether he should find some time to sort out the little knowledge of chemistry and physics in his mind.

These two pieces of knowledge are the real steps to progress.

Mathematics, on the contrary, is auxiliary.

Just as Yun Zheng was secretly thinking, Lan Hua came over on the snow.

"Greetings to the prince, Madam Zi, and Madam Miaoyin..."

Lan Hua stepped forward and bowed.

Lan Hua's cheeks were slightly red, and it was unclear whether it was because she was shy or because she was cold.

"No need to be polite."

Yun Zheng smiled at Lan Hua and asked, "You are staying in the school even though you are not in class?"

Lan Hua smiled and said, "I'm waiting to go back with my cousin."

"So this is ah!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I heard from Zi'er that your parents came to Shuobei in April. Are they used to staying in Shuobei?"

“I was a little uncomfortable at first, but now I’m used to it.”

Lan Hua replied: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Madam Zi. Madam Zi arranged a place for my parents to live when they first arrived here."

"What's this?"

Ye Zi smiled, "Your father is also a government official now, so it's only right that we arrange accommodation for them."

Lan Hua's father used to be the county magistrate of a county in Muzhou.

But her father didn't know much about how to survive in officialdom. He was almost forty years old and still a county magistrate.

Later, his father resigned from his official position and went into business.

However, his father seemed to have a good business sense. After a few years, he made some profits and losses. Although he did not accumulate a large fortune, compared with ordinary people's families, his family was still wealthy.

After learning about her father's situation, Ye Zi asked Chen Bu to have a chat with her father.

Chen Bu felt that her father was quite talented and knowledgeable.

Finally, Ye Zi asked her father to be the magistrate of Shuofang, a sixth-rank official.

Her father has handled all matters well since he took office as Tongpan.

Ye Zi estimated that, given the shortage of officials in Shuobei, her father would be able to get a promotion next year as long as he passed the cabinet's end-of-year official assessment.

Lan Hua looked at Ye Zi gratefully, and then said, "When he talks about my father being an official, he often feels emotional!"

"What are you feeling?"

Yun Zheng asked with interest.

Lan Hua: "My father said that he passed the imperial examination at the age of 28 and served as an official for more than ten years, but he was only an eighth-rank official. I didn't expect that he would become a sixth-rank official just after arriving in Shuobei. If he had known this, he should have come to Shuobei a few years earlier."

Speaking of this, Lan Hua was also quite emotional.

If she had come to Shuobei a few years earlier, perhaps she would have known Yun Zheng a few years earlier.

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in this world.

"It's not too late."

Yun Zheng laughed: "As long as she has real talent and knowledge, why should she be afraid of not being promoted? If anyone dares to deliberately suppress him because he doesn't know how to survive in the officialdom, you bring him to the palace to complain to me!"

"Okay!"

Lan Hua laughed sweetly, "If Your Majesty is free someday, you can come to our house and sit down. My father has always wanted to meet Your Majesty."

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."

"Dang Dang Dang..."

Just as they were talking, the sound of knocking on iron tiles was heard in the school.

This also means it's time to go home from school.

When the sound of knocking on the iron tiles stopped, children of all ages came out.

Yun Zheng and his friends were very conspicuous, and Shen Nianci and Qi Yan saw them as soon as they left the classroom.

"Uncle..."

"aunt……"

The two children called out as they ran towards Yun Zheng and the others.

Wu Qingyang also saw them and quickly walked over to greet them.

After chatting with them briefly, Yun Zheng and his friends took the two children and left the school.

Shen Nianci was still showing off her uncle, a prince, to her classmates, but Ye Zi tapped her lightly on the head.

Shen Nianci shrank her neck and dared not show off anymore.

After watching Yun Zheng and the others leave, Wu Qingyang curiously asked Lan Hua, "What did you talk about with the prince just now?"

"We didn't talk about anything, just chatting casually."

Lan Hua chuckled, then slapped her head in annoyance, "I was so lost in my conversation that I even forgot to ask the prince for help with the math problem that was stumping my cousin."

"You are the only one who is asking the prince for help with that math problem?"

Wu Qingyang looked at Lan Hua with a smile, "Even if the prince explained it to you, can you understand it?"

What math problems do you want to ask?

She is quite knowledgeable, but she is not cut out for mathematics or physics.

Whenever I explain math and science problems to her, she always feels drowsy.

She just wants to stay with the prince more!

Being ruthlessly exposed by Wu Qingyang, Lan Hua's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she couldn't help but glance towards the entrance of the school.

However, Yun Zheng and his companions had already boarded the carriage and left.

At the school gate, there was no sign of Yun Zheng and the others.

Looking at Lan Hua's eyes, Wu Qingyang couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart.

He wanted to persuade Lan Hua to stop focusing on Yun Zheng and find a suitable person to marry.

Unfortunately, he knew in his heart that his cousin would not listen...
