"Stone, you will continue your studies here in the future, do you understand?"
In the Hundred Herbs Hall, there is a dedicated school to cultivate young apprentices in reading and writing. Based on their performance, they are then allocated to study medicine, alchemy, or join the guard team.
Actually, given Zhong Lin's current status, hiring a private tutor to teach little Stone wouldn't be impossible. However, Zhong Lin prefers for little Stone to experience this kind of collective environment, as children need more companions.
Moreover, this school is specifically for the offspring of managerial personnel within the Hundred Herbs Hall. Apart from teaching reading and writing, it also imparts some herbal and pathological knowledge.
Little Stone wore a bitter expression and said, "Second brother, can I not go to school?"
"No."
Zhong Lin sternly refused. While other requests might be accommodated, not attending school was out of the question.
"Oh!"
