Chapter 242 Pei the Big Bun (6)_1
-----
People in Taiping Town were all puzzled. Old Scholar Fang could have taught his grandson himself, yet he sent the boy to the town’s school. That was not so unusual, but why did the young master from Landlord Chang’s house also go to a town school for his studies? Was Teacher Sun that excellent in scholarship? And had they been unaware of this before?
Even Teacher Sun doubted whether his scholarship had recently improved a lot.
However, since the young master from the Chang’s house was now living at Pei Qin’s place, it seemed clear that the Chang’s house had become a solid backing for Sister Peiqin and her brother. So, even if Old Pei’s House opened another silk and satin shop, could it possibly compare to the Chang’s house in Yuanyang County?
Landlord Zhao even made a point of sending over watermelons, honeydews, and other foods.
Feng Bo came over to deliver vegetables again. Knowing that Pei Qin and her family set up their stall at noon only on market days, he chose those times to make the delivery.
To his surprise, not only was his cousin’s family there, but even the young master from Chang’s house was living at their place.
"Cousin! You... why have you moved here too?" Feng Bo’s smile was somewhat forced.
Fang Liuming explained, "I’m studying at the town’s school, and cousin invited me over for meals."
Feng Bo nodded and scrutinized Pei Qin’s expression.
Pei Qin was picking through mung bean sprouts; she enjoyed stir-fried sprouts but disliked the roots. With a few wisps of hair falling around her ears and neck, her fair and clean skin, and her serious demeanor as she sat, it was hard for anyone to look away.
