Early in the morning, after having breakfast in Old Madam Yan’s courtyard, Daohua followed Ping Tong toward the Virtue and Art Court where the young ladies usually had their lessons.

Since Wang Manman was newly purchased and understood many rules and etiquettes, Madam Li had Ping Tong accompany Daohua and bring Wang Manman along in passing.

The Virtue and Art Court, though called a courtyard, actually consisted of only a few rooms; the main room was used as the parlor for the ladies’ classes, and the wing room was Master Qin’s residence.

By the time Daohua arrived, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile had already gotten there.

Apart from them, there were three other young girls in the parlor.

The three girls were around eight or nine years old, one being the daughter of the Deputy County Magistrate Xu Keke, one being the daughter of the instructor Zhu Xiuyun, and one being the daughter of Xian Wei’s daughter, Fan Siran.

These three families, whether to curry favor with the Yan County Magistrate or to freeload on education, had sent their daughters here.

The moment Daohua entered the room, the chatting crowd immediately fell silent, gave her a collective glance, and then as if by agreement, ignored her.

To this, Daohua did not even bat an eyelid; she scanned the parlor and spotted a guest table at the far corner, clearly farther back than the others. Without saying a word, she walked over to sit down and took the book chest from Ping Tong, saying, “You can go now!”

Ping Tong, worriedly glancing at the untroubled Daohua and then at the others flagrantly isolating her, frowned and quickly stepped out of the parlor.

Once outside, Ping Tong took Wang Manman, who was waiting by the house, aside and instructed, “Watch over the young lady carefully. It’s her first day of class, and if she feels any discomfort whatsoever, immediately report to Madam in the main courtyard.”

Wang Manman, unaware of the underlying tensions within the parlor, nevertheless nodded solemnly.

Inside, Yan Yihuan looked at the silent Yan Yishuang and the others who were ignoring Daohua and felt that it was somewhat improper to act this way. She turned to Daohua, who was setting up her textbooks and writing materials, and hesitantly said, “Big sister, the light is not good there. Come sit by me!”

Daohua looked up at Yan Yihuan, who was about to stand, and smiled, “No need, I’m quite content sitting here.”

Yan Yile immediately interjected, “Exactly, second sister, big sister is the oldest among us and also taller. It’s most fitting for her to sit in the last row.”

Hearing this, the others bowed their heads to hide their smiles.

At that moment, a woman in her thirties who looked somewhat stern walked in.

Upon her entrance, Yan Yihuan and the others immediately straightened up and rose to pay their respects, “Greetings to Master.”

When Daohua saw this, she followed suit.

Master Qin glanced at Yan Yihuan and the others, her gaze pausing on Daohua, “Sit down.”

Daohua had just sat down when she heard Master Qin call out, “Yan Yiyi.”

Startled, Daohua soon realized she was being addressed; Yan Yiyi was her formal name.

“Student greets Master!”

Daohua stood up gracefully and bowed to Master Qin.
