Only then did Su Zhi realize what had happened. However, she still didn't understand why Shen Zhu was so astonished just now.

”Sir, please take a seat. My family does have a child of appropriate age who should be attending school. I haven't been able to find a suitable academy for you. It just so happens that you're here so that we can get to know each other better.”

Su Zhi politely invited him to sit down and personally poured hot tea for him. She said respectfully, ”I don't mean to offend you, sir. It's just that you're still young and your bearing is extraordinary. You shouldn't be worried about not being able to pass the examinations.”

With Shen Zhu's recovery and talk, it shouldn't be a difficult task for him to become a student under the rank of a high ranking official. Besides, the Imperial examinations involved ten thousand students trying to get to the top, so how many people had failed to pass the examinations for most of their lives? This wasn't the only thing he should do to get back at them.

Hearing her question, Shen Zhu calmly smiled without a trace of regret, ”My ambition is not to become an official. Furthermore, the current imperial court has the Zhao Family …”

He didn't continue speaking. He looked at the woman before him with a complicated expression and kept silent.

Since it was a matter of personal preferences, there was really nothing much to explain.

Su Zhi nodded and smiled, ”That's alright. Tao You doesn't like to be an official. He prefers to waste his time in the morning.”

Shen Zhu smiled indifferently, silently looking at the round words of the girl. His heart ached, and when he caught a glimpse of her scabbed hands from the corner of his eye, he frowned, and sorrowfully turned his face away.

”I wonder where mister is currently living. I'll go back and discuss it in detail with my child. If he is willing, I'll bring him here tomorrow to pay my respects to mister.”

”I've always been in Moon Residence. I've never left.”

Su Zhi understood and silently memorized the name. She could not help but look at Shen Zhu twice more, and she was also satisfied from the bottom of her heart.

For such a man to have such a good time, he must have an extremely good temper. He must have been very patient with his children, so he could be at ease when he told A Jin to go over to his side.

”That's good. In that case, I'll go back and discuss it with my child. Although his talent isn't the best, he is still intelligent and quick-witted. I'm afraid that you will have to put some effort into it.”

Shen Zhu nodded his head and said, ”It is my duty to be a teacher. To impart knowledge and dispel doubts is naturally to do my best.”

Such a righteous attitude made Su Zhi overjoyed. No matter what, the teachers who came to the door had to be firmly captured.

”I only came today because my life was forced. Let's see if I can recruit a few students to disturb Lady Su.”

Shen Zhu got up and was about to leave, but Su Zhi hurriedly got up and sent him downstairs.

At the same time, the lady who had just walked out of the corridor looked at the situation downstairs with disdain. She glanced at the servants beside her and then left.

After sending Shen Zhu off, Li Yi put down the account book in his hand and came over. He asked Su Zhi, ”Who is this? He didn't buy anything and specifically came to find you.”

Su Zhi smiled and replied, ”My name is Shen Zhu, and I'm a teacher. It looks like my A Jin has a chance to go to the academy.

Most of the people in Xuancheng have power, and many of them have their own private schools. It is almost impossible for ordinary citizens to enter.

Even the few prestigious institutions in the city were filled with students. Su Zhi had a lot of headaches over this matter, so it could be considered as having been solved today.

Li Yi was astounded when he heard this. ”Who did you say?” Shen Zhu? The one from old mister Shen's house? ”

Su Zhi blinked in confusion and asked, ”You know him?”

”Tch ~”
