Yang Hua felt great admiration and gratitude toward Su Binglan. He was also ecstatic to see his family’s benefactor again. She would kindly ask him questions, and he would answer them thoughtfully.

Yang Hua had heard about her legendary stories from the townsfolk. Also, the hotpot restaurants and cured meats restaurants here belonged to the Su family. He heard that Su Binglan had developed their delicacies.

Her businesses were exceptional, and each restaurant had many workers. Yang Hua discovered that their wages were excellent, and the shopkeeper treated his employees well.

However, other restaurants and shops treated their workers poorly because the owners were influential figures.

Yang Hua’s uncle had trouble selling his livestock, but Su’s Hotpot Restaurant would buy them at a fair price. They even hired a few people from his village to deliver the goods.

Yang Hua’s uncle planned to raise a few more pigs and sheep, as Su Wenwu had said that he would buy all the pigs and sheep he raised. Su Wenwu even hired people from the surrounding villages to work at his restaurants.

Yang Hua’s parents spoke highly of the Su family. Although the people the family hired were not the most capable, they needed the job most to support their families.

With this job, these families would not have to worry about food and clothes, especially during winter. Of course, Su Wenwu only hired those who were of good character. He would not hire those who were undeserving, either.

Yang Hua admired Su Binglan even more after hearing about these things. He only wanted to become a person of significance in the future.

Su Binglan could tell that he had a clear mind and a healthy body. She softly asked, “Are you interested in studying?”

Yang Hua was stunned. He had never considered such a thing because his family’s conditions were less than fortunate. He never dreamed he would one day attend school.

His family’s living conditions only improved after Su Binglan treated his father’s illness and helped them with the dumpling restaurant. Yang Hua only wanted to help his parents with their business and never intended to study.

After all, the cost of attending school was too high, especially regarding school supplies. Yang Hua did not want to burden his family, either. Although his family could now afford his school fees, he did not want to be selfish.

Even if his parents could afford to send someone to school, Yang Hua wanted to give that opportunity to his younger siblings.

Su Binglan noticed his silence and expression, understanding his hesitance. She asked, “If you could attend school for free and even contribute to the country, would you?”

“Of course I would!” Yang Hua’s eyes lit up.

Naturally, he would want to attend a private school for free instead of spending his parents’ money. After all, he wanted to make as many achievements as possible and become a helpful member of society like Su Binglan.

Su Binglan felt his spirit was commendable. She looked at Su Yi, thinking, ‘Su Yi is a man of sacrifice. Now, he specializes in helping to nurture various capable people. His judgment in individuals is extraordinary.’

Su Yi knew his master’s thoughts and nodded at her.

During the meal, Su Binglan would occasionally talk to Yang Hua, “Your siblings are at a mischievous age, aren’t they?”

Yang Hua’s expression softened when she asked about his siblings. “My younger siblings are obedient. They won’t cry or make a fuss if they have toys to play with.

“My brother is quiet, and my sister likes when I carry her around…” Yang Hua had endless things to say regarding his siblings. He remembered every detail. Those who liked their younger siblings had a soft side and were not selfish.

A responsible person with love in their heart was suitable to become a commander. Yang Hua was honest and answered whatever Su Binglan asked.

After finishing her meal, Su Binglan took out an admission invitation and detailed information. She then stamped and signed the back before handing them to Yang Hua.

She said, “The prefecture will set up a military academy called the Fiery Blue Academy. It specializes in training soldiers. There will be no fees when you enroll. They will offer bonuses for outstanding performance, too. If you decide to go, take these and show it to them. Someone will receive you.”

Yang Hua was astounded.

Su Binglan added smilingly, “Carefully consider it. I have high hopes for you, regardless of what choice you make.”

Her words made Yang Hua’s heart surge and his blood boil. Of course, he wanted to attend Fiery Blue Academy. He knew it was not a place that he could go whenever he wanted. However, he wanted to discuss it with his parents first.

Su Binglan understood Yang Hua’s thoughts without needing him to say anything. She smiled and said, “Discuss it with your parents and family. You’ll feel better with your family’s support.”

Yang Hua nodded vigorously and hurried to the kitchen to tell his parents about the incredible opportunity he had just received.

After the meal, Su Binglan, Su Yi, and Su Chun left. Although Yang Hua’s parents offered them a free meal, Su Binglan left the money for the food on the table.

Yang Hua’s parents were astounded when he showed them the admission invitation. His mother asked, “You said Mss Su gave this to you?”

“Yes, Mother. She said the academy is free of charge and called it the Fiery Blue Academy.” Yang Hua then told his parents everything Su Binglan said in detail.

Mrs. Yangs eyes reddened as she said, “We’ve met a noble person in Miss Su. Rumor has it she’s a princess. Prince Ruozhu must be the one running the academy.

“Of course, we’ll let you go, not to mention all the benefits of attending such an academy. Moreover, it’s Miss Su who recommended you personally.”

Mr. Yang added, “You must go. I’ll ask around for more information about the prefecture. Some of our customers are from there. As soon as the academy is ready, pack your things and go.”

“But what about the restaurant?” Although Yang Hua wanted to go, he worried about his parents.

“Your uncle and his wife can help us handle the restaurant. Besides, we’ll be proud of your success. You’ll bring honor to us and your ancestors,” Mr. Yang said.

Mrs. Yang added, “We must always remember Miss Su’s kindness. You must study hard to repay the prince and princess.”

The family was ecstatic and could not stop looking at the admission invitation, wanting to confirm that they were not hallucinating..
