Saitama is very grateful to Autumn Frost, and these days let her recuperate with peace of mind and don't have to do anything. But Autumn Frost is an idle person, and every time Saitama goes to school, she secretly does some work. On this day, when Saitama came back from class, Autumn Frost came in with a small package. Saitama said when she saw it:

"Why don't you take a rest and come up again, what are you doing here? ”

"Miss, I'm already fine, and I'm very stuffy to sit, these are the shoes you asked me to make a few days ago, you can see if it's agreeable. Saitama took it and saw that the shoes were very exquisitely made, with blue satin and brown edging. The toe cap is embroidered with silk thread of the same color, embroidered with delicate moire, which looks simple but extraordinary. Saitama pinched the soles again, and it was indeed as thick and thin as she said, but the inside of the shoe still looked just as flat. She was satisfied, so she told Qiu Yan to wrap it up again. Qiu Yan took the shoes and looked at them

"These shoes are so strange, why are the bottoms still different?

"It's a lot of questions for you. You also want to take care of Miss's affairs?" Qiushuang said

"It's nothing, it's just that I saw that my father's shoes always grind the outside when he walks, so I thought that this side would be thicker and more comfortable to walk, but I couldn't make it myself, so I had to let Qiushuang do it. ”

"Is it for the master?" asked Qiushuang in surprise.

"Hmm. I think you have a point, I have to find someone at home who can help me. ”

"Miss, if only you could figure it out. After all, the master is your father, no matter how you say it, blood is thicker than water, as long as you are willing, Miss, he will definitely take care of the relationship between father and daughter. Qiushuang said.

"I hope so. Saitama said.

After saying goodbye in the evening, Saitama heard Zhang Hou and Wang say that there was business to be done and that they were going to the study in front, and their hearts moved. When she returned to the room, she hurriedly instructed Qiu Yan to take the shoes and go with her to the master in the front yard.

Saitama came to the door of the study, saw his father's eldest attendant Zhang Bao standing under the porch, and asked Qiuyan to come forward and talk to him after a few words. Qiu Yan walked over and blessed Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao's godmother was Qiu Yan's mother, and she was most familiar with Qiu Yan, so Saitama brought Qiu Yan to make it easier to meet Zhang Hou. That Zhang Bao also had some thoughts about Qiu Yan, and when he saw it, he was overjoyed, and immediately said:

"Sister Qiu Yan, what a rare guest, what kind of wind blew you here?" Qiu Yan hurriedly said:

"You're laughing at people again, but you're down to business. Our young lady wants to see the master, can we be accommodating. "Because Zhang Hou doesn't allow anyone to come to his study on weekdays, unless he sends a message, even the Wang family can't be an exception. Zhang Bao said with some embarrassment:

"I'm afraid this ......"

"Brother Zhang Bao, I never asked you, only this time can you help, our young lady does have something important to see the master. Okay, huh?"

Zhang Bao couldn't help Qiu Yan's soft words and pleaded, turned his heart sideways, and scolded him, so he was ready to go in and report. At this time, Saitama also came closer,

"Tired, thank you!" Although Saitama is not powerful in the mansion, Zhang Bao dares to be thanked by Saitama, and when he was in Beijing, the eldest lady was deeply loved by the old lady, and these servants in the house did not dare to slack off on Saitama, and the etiquette was also very thorough. He hurriedly gave a salute and said:

"Miss Lao, wait a minute, the villain will go in and report. It's just that it's hard to say whether you see it or not. ”

"I know that there is labor. ”

Zhang Hou just finished dealing with the matter at hand, listened to Zhang Bao's report, put down the official document in his hand and said:

"Don't you know that no one can come here?"

"The little confession, but the eldest lady said that there was something important. Zhang Hou listened, thinking that this eldest daughter had always been unknown in the house, could it be that there was something important, so he said:

"Didn't say anything"

"This, the little one didn't ask. Zhang Hou pondered for a moment and said:

"Let her in. ”

Zhang Hou has a very weak impression of this daughter, and he likes the child a little bit when he is born, but he has always been discordant with his ex-wife, and he is a little less interested in the child. After his wife died, he gave it to his mother to feed, and he never saw him for a day. Later, he was in harmony with Wang's Qinse, and soon he had Brother Xiao, and he paid less attention to Saitama. Qi Jiao saw her every day after she was born, and she was talented and intelligent, and she was lively, which she liked deeply. personally taught her to read, listened to her endorsement every day, listened to her sit in her arms and narrated her joys, sorrows and sorrows, and watched her grow from a baby waiting to be fed to a Tingting girl. Later, when he arrived in Shandong, Saitama seemed to have disappeared from his eyes. The few times they met in a limited time, they always behaved stupidly and didn't like it, so even if they knew that the Wang family used some means against their stepdaughters and concubines, they turned a blind eye and closed their eyes. That day in the school, the eye-catching performance attracted a little attention, but it was not enough after all. Is it enlightening to come today, knowing that she has a plan for herself, if she really has any ability, she won't mind giving her some opportunities. When Saitama came in, Zhang Hou knew how strange he was to this child, inadvertently, he had grown into a big girl, and the shadow of his deceased wife could be vaguely seen on her face, Zhang Hou remembered Qin's cold temperament at that time, and he hated it deeply. When Saitama entered the house, Zhang Bao immediately covered the door and went out, Saitama knelt down and said:

"Father, my daughter asks her father to punish her for her mistakes. When Zhang Hou heard this, he thought it was funny, and just wanted to lecture her, but he actually admitted his mistake, but he still said to Saitama a little coldly:

"Do you know that you can't come here without permission?" Saitama heard this, and said:

"The daughter's fault is not only this, but also deceiving her father about important things. Zhang Hou listened and snorted.

"I don't see that you have such sharp teeth, but you have grown. Say, what's the matter. ”

"It's for this. He handed over the small package. And said:

"Father, the daughter has not done anything for her father since she learned to be a female red, it is really unfilial, and the daughter is ashamed, so she sewed a pair of shoes and gave it to her father, the handiwork is rude, but it is a piece of the daughter's heart. Zhang Hou took the shoes and looked at them, the appearance was nothing special, and the upper was average, but the embroidery on the upper was more exquisite, and the Seiko and meticulous shoes he wore on weekdays were not the same, knowing that Saitama didn't have anything too good, but this intention always had to be praised, so he said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, a father can wear a pair of shoes made by his daughter. Saitama was also a little sorry in her heart, but this apology was for Autumn Frost, because this shoe was the credit of Autumn Frost from beginning to end, but she couldn't help it, so she had to do it as a last resort in order to get her father's attention. Seeing his father put his shoes aside, Saitama knew that his father didn't care about a pair of shoes, so he hurriedly said:

"Ask my father to try on the shoes first and see if they are good. ”

"Let's try again another day. ”

"The shoe was a little different, and my father probably didn't know the benefits until he tried it. ”

"Oh, that's the Father's time to try. As he spoke, Zhang Hou picked up the shoes and put them on.

"Father took two steps and tried. Zhang Hou walked a few steps according to his words, and felt that compared with ordinary shoes, walking was extremely comfortable, and he suddenly felt that he didn't want to take them off.

"I don't see it, your ability is not small, it looks inconspicuous, it's really comfortable to wear, I don't see that you still have such craftsmanship. ”

"Actually, it's nothing special. However, I made some articles on the soles, and the daughter saw that her father's old shoes were high and low, so she padded the easily worn side thicker, and the soles were also covered with several more layers, and a thick flannel cloth was added in the middle, so that it was much more comfortable to wear. ”

"Well, to a little bit of thought. I'm here today to deliver shoes?"

"Yes, Father. But there's one more thing. ”

"I knew there was something going on, so let's talk about it. "Zhang Hou is in a very good mood today, showing his fatherly side in front of Saitama.

"I want my father to write a picture for his daughter, hang it in the room, and never forget my father's teachings. ”

"Oh, that's it, okay!" Zhang Hou likes calligraphy the most, especially when others ask him for words, he is even more excited.

"Come on, grind the ink. Zhang Bao agreed outside.

"It's better for my daughter to sharpen the ink. Saitama said as she picked up the ink and grinded it. Zhang Hou suddenly remembered something and asked Saitama:

"Why was my father ignorant when I saw you in Mr. Mei's class before, and Mr. stammered when he asked you questions, but last time he talked eloquently. ”

"Back to her father, my daughter feels that she is the eldest sister, and she always opens her mouth in class, and she is really unbearable compared to her younger sisters. So I decided to study hard and set an example for my sisters. Live up to your father's expectations. ”

"Oh, tell me how you worked so hard to get so fast. As soon as Zhang Hou heard Saitama's words, he knew that what she said was not true, and he hoped that his daughter would have the means and strategy, but she must be honest with herself. Saitama replied while grinding ink:

"My daughter's solution is to read history books. ”

"Why?"

Mr. Mei once said, "If we take history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, and if we learn from people, we can know the gains and losses." This sentence, so if you read more history books, you can understand the truth. ”

"I see, then you read those history books?"

"My daughter is now reading the New Tang Dynasty book, and I think it's very interesting. ”

"What's the interest, I read the story of Tang Xuanzong yesterday. pretended to be crazy and stupid and deceived Empress Dowager Guo into ascending the throne, secretly recruited troops and horses, accumulated talents, and took over power. ”

"Well, good, good. Zhang Hou said a few good words in a row, and looked at Saitama with a meaningful smile, and Saitama did not flinch.

"I thought you were following Tang Xuanzong's example. ”

"Where the father speaks, how can the daughter have that ability. What's more, it's good for a mother to take care of her daughter, and her daughter doesn't need to be like this. ”

Here, Zhang Bao had already laid the paper on the bookcase, and when the Saitama ink was polished, Zhang Hou walked to the bookcase and wrote a few hearty big characters "big and clumsy".

"Dad said I made shoes?"

"The same should be true for being a human being, and you are truly a smart person. ”

"My daughter was taught. ”

"If you can do this, it will not only be a blessing for you, but also a blessing for me. ”

"My daughter did her best. ”

Zhang Bao took out this pair of words and framed it and sent it to the eldest lady. Zhang Bao hurriedly agreed and withdrew.

"It's getting late, let's go back. ”

"Yes, father and daughter retired. ”

"Wait, let's play with this jade pendant. As he spoke, he handed over a piece of jade pendant. Saitama took it and saw that it was a beautifully carved fish-shaped jade pendant, thanked his father, and immediately put it away.

"Thank you, father. Saitama retreated to the door and turned and walked out of the study. Zhang Hou looked at Saitama's back and fell into deep thought. Saitama's intention, he is now clear, happy that this daughter is deeply hidden, and it will be of great use in the future. Now that the situation in the court is unclear, using children to achieve marriage is the simplest political strategy. If the two daughters can come in handy, the future of themselves and their families will be a little more secure. On the other hand, what worries him is that his stepwife Wang may not want to see the changes in his eldest daughter, and he doesn't know what kind of incident will happen.
