Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 317 - 229: Shopping in Town
It was still early, so after sitting at the Liu family’s place for a while, Uncle Liu had the steward take a few children out.
Today, besides visiting Uncle Liu, Jiang Hu also wanted to find a school for Jiang Wei and Wei Ziang, as they needed to continue their studies.
Uncle Liu had something to discuss with Jiang Hu’s second aunt, so he had the steward arrange this matter.
The two children were still a bit young, not suitable for the academy where Jiang Yu and Liu Ze were currently studying, so there was no need for Uncle Liu to personally step in.
Uncle Liu also instructed the steward that after handling the affair, he could take the children to stroll around the streets.
Liu Ze had said that Cheng County was not very prosperous, but in Xiaomi and the others’ eyes, this Cheng County was far more bustling than Xiangma Town.
People wandered the streets and alleys, vendors shouted loudly, and there was a dazzling array of goods, many of which they had never seen in Xiangma Town.
The children sat in the same carriage, with the steward at the door, introducing them to some of the more famous places on the street.
For instance, a well-known inn with good business and affordable prices, a particular tea garden, bookshop, cloth shop, and so on.
He also told them about the four markets in the southeast, selling high-quality goods in some places, and affordable ones in others.
Although Liu Ze and Jiang Yu had been studying in the city for a year, they were usually at the academy and were not familiar with these things, so they listened attentively.
The academy recommended by Uncle Liu was not far, reportedly only a street away from the academy where Jiang Yu and Liu Ze attended school.
Classes had not officially started yet, the professors and the dean were absent, and there was only a steward guarding the academy.
Uncle Liu left a message, introducing the situation of Jiang Wei and Wei Ziang, so the steward took it upon himself to accept the two’s tuition, telling them to come back for classes in a few days.
While others were busy with this, Xiaomi was observing the academy’s surroundings.
In Xiaomi’s view, the academy was not much different from an ordinary residence, only the interior setup was different, it was simply larger and the rooms more spacious,
The rooms were not filled with ordinary household items; instead, there were neatly arranged rows of desks and chairs, a podium for the teacher, and even a blackboard.
However, this blackboard was made of slate, and they used charcoal pencils for writing, which could be used to write or draw on the slate, but cleaning it was a bit troublesome, requiring a damp cloth to wipe it off.
The steward at the academy clearly knew the steward, realizing these were relatives of the Liu family, and was very warm and attentive.
He took them on a tour around, familiarizing them with the environment, and emphasized introducing each place within the academy, and stated that when the school starts, they can come directly.
Knowing that Jiang Yu and Liu Ze were studying at Evergreen Academy, he praised them repeatedly, complimenting the two young men for their exceptional intelligence and so on.
It seems this Evergreen Academy is truly a good place; otherwise, this steward wouldn’t start praising just from hearing a name.
After leaving the academy, the steward asked, "It’s still early, do the young masters and misses have any other places they’d like to visit?"
Liu Ze immediately said, "Why don’t we go to the embroidery house first? Didn’t we just pass by one on our way to the academy earlier?"
Xiaomi: "..."
Clearly, there’s more to his intentions than meets the eye. Isn’t he just interested because the second sister asked a few more questions earlier? It seems Liu Ze genuinely wants to become his sister’s brother-in-law.
However, the steward seemed a bit hesitant, "Young master, the embroidery house is full of ladies. It might not be appropriate for so many of us to go together."
After all, it’s still a large group of young men, and not exactly young anymore. If so many of them rush to the embroidery house, they might become a laughing stock, and the steward at the embroidery house wouldn’t allow it, right?
But Liu Ze had obviously thought it through, "Then how about Xiaoxue and I go? Anyway, it’s not far. You take the others for a walk nearby to see if there’s anything they want to buy."
Speaking of which, except for Jiang Yu, it was the first time others had entered the city, so how could they not be curious?
Especially Jiang Wei, upon hearing Liu Ze’s suggestion, was immediately overjoyed.
Xiaomi rolled her eyes secretly, Liu Ze’s objective was all too obvious.
I bet he already had a plan before they went out.
There was a soft chuckle from the side, and Xiaomi turned to see it was Wei Ziang.
Xiaomi’s eyebrows twitched.
What’s up? Why are you laughing?
Wei Ziang suppressed his laughter, shaking his head to indicate it was nothing.
"Xiaomi, Ziang, why are you still standing there? Hurry up, let’s go check out the market first."
It was Jiang Yu urging them; they had already taken a few steps when they noticed the two hadn’t caught up.
