After reading the account book, Chu Yin took Bai Zhi and Mu Xiang to the courtyard.

He walked to the nearest classroom.

Due to the warm weather, the classroom windows were open, and the sound of reading could be heard intermittently. Chu Yin stopped and listened for a while, reciting "The Book of Songs, Xiaoya, and Caiwei".

When I got close to the window, I found that there were girls in their early teens, wearing uniform clothes and the same double-ring bun. They were only decorated with red satin ribbons. The sleeves, collars and belts were embroidered with golden ginkgo leaf patterns.

Mu Xiang whispered behind her: "Students are divided into eight levels according to different levels. The colors of the clothes range from light to dark, but they are all cyan, only the embroidery and the belt are different."

From lowest to highest, the embroidery on clothes and belts are: Gardenia, Begonia, Ginkgo, Hollandaise, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.

Three people stood outside the window, which quickly attracted the attention of the master in the classroom.

The lecturer was a female lady in her early 30s, with simple clothes, elegant demeanor and a clear voice.

He glanced out the window, then withdrew his gaze and continued teaching.

She first corrected the students' pronunciation, then demonstrated how to write rare words, and briefly explained the meaning of the poem.

Then he told a few allusions about "Plucking Wei" from later generations, and then asked the students to figure out the meaning of the poem, copy new characters, and then quietly walked out of the classroom.

Chu Yin was able to retreat to a flower tree outside the classroom first. When the female teacher came out, he bowed and said apologetically: "I disturbed the teacher's lecture."

The lady was startled for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "But there is a girl in the girl's family who wants to go to school?"

Chu Yin blinked.

"In the past, family members often came over to see how the academy was teaching," the wife explained. "After all, if you send your children here, you will have to spend several years here, so you really need to be extra cautious."

Chu Yin nodded, "That's right. I just listened to Master's lectures and they were very lively. I think the students also liked Master's classes."

The lady's face was gentle. She turned to look at the window and saw that the girls were reading and writing seriously. Fang said, "We both cherish this opportunity."

Chu Yin was blessed again, "I haven't asked Master about your surname yet."

"No need to pay," the lady returned the gift, "My surname is Fu and my given name is Zhuqing."

"Mr. Fu," Chu Yin also introduced himself, "The little girl's surname is Chu, and she is the 14th in the family, so everyone calls me the Fourteenth Mother."

Fu Zhuqing opened his eyes slightly, "It turns out to be Miss Chu."

"Master, do you know me?" Chu Yin was slightly surprised.

Fu Zhuqing smiled lightly: "How can we who are hired here not know who our boss is?"

She looked inside the classroom again and said, "It's not too long since we've been out. It's too late to delay the children's studies. I'm sorry."

After saying that, he bowed and turned back to the classroom.

Mu Xiang came over and said softly: "Miss, there is something wrong with this Master Fu!" As soon as she learned Chu Yin's identity, she became indifferent and distant.It was clear that he was quite enthusiastic before.

Chu Yin couldn't figure it out either and shook his head, "Let's go look elsewhere."

The next classroom is learning arithmetic. The master first teaches it with abacus, then with abacus, and then teaches mental arithmetic.

The students knew how difficult it was and didn't dare to slack off. Even though they noticed someone outside the window, no one paid attention.

The teacher who taught the class was a man in his forties, with a white face, short beard, and clear eyes. To facilitate the demonstration, a huge abacus was nailed to the wall behind him. (End of chapter)
