Chapter 34: The City

"But A-Yao, can you learn it?"

Hu Jiuling didn't mean anything else, only a loving father who was innocently worried about his beloved daughter's excessive academic pressure.

But when these words reached Ah Yao's ears, it was tantamount to pouring a basin of cold water on her fiery heart. Pouting, she complained: "Daddy doesn't believe in his daughter? ”

"How is it possible, it's just that you didn't like to read much since you were a child......"

These words evoked the memories of Ah Yao's previous life, and before Daddy had an accident, she really didn't want to make progress. When a girl from another family was five or six years old, she was like a college enlightenment, and she ran blindly in the courtyard; A little older, other girls began to learn female red needles, such as Shen Moci has even been in the 123 side of the shed to give porridge and accumulate fame, and at that time she was still lazy nested in the back house, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days in front of the female master invited by Daddy, and when she was bored, she went to live in other courtyards of the Hu family.

It wasn't until Daddy passed away unexpectedly that the Hu family fell into an embattled situation and was helpless. Previously, she relied too much on her father, and when the big tree above her head was knocked down by lightning, she became useless without shelter.

This is the difference between her and Shen Moci.

And this difference has not been eliminated with rebirth, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and the way of dealing with the world, these many things need to be studied and figured out. In the first thirteen years, when she was playing wantonly, Shen Moci worked diligently day and night, and she had already been left behind in many aspects.

What made her feel at ease a little was that she read those books in the last three years of her previous life to relieve boredom, and she could always recover some more in the last three years.

But the matter of Huashou Temple overturned her thoughts, judging from Mo Daru's surprise reaction at that time, the equation that Shen Moci said must be a whimsical idea that she had never heard before. Although she was broken in the end, no one knows better than her that she solved the problem by chance.

It's her luck this time, but what about next time? When luck is not on her side, how should she deal with herself?

After being reborn, this question has been haunting her mind, and there is only one way to think about it. As long as she gets rid of her laziness and learns what she should understand, she is strong enough to respond to all changes with the same.

But some things are easier said than done. Before entering the academy, she was anxious about Mo Daru's affairs, and she got up every day at dawn to study hard. In Daddy's surprised gaze, she persevered for nearly a decade with one breath. But on the first day of entering the academy, she found out that it was Master Kukai, and she was relieved that she couldn't get up in bed the next day.

When she was first reborn, she was still full of momentum, but she returned to the familiar environment for more than half a month, and was pampered by her father, and gradually she regained the state of leisurely life in the past thirteen years, and her fighting spirit was even more grinding.

When my heart was struggling, God sent such a good opportunity.

"With such two good masters, if my daughter doesn't study seriously, won't she be poked in the backbone by the whole world." Since you are not motivated, you can use the outside world to exert some pressure.

Ah Yao thought helplessly, and said: "Today, it's just that the people of Qingcheng are gathered in front of the door, and my daughter is scared. The people of Daxia are thousands, so many people laugh at them together, just thinking about their daughter is so scared, they will definitely study seriously. ”

Although these words are a bit exaggerated, with her sweet and glutinous voice and round eyes, there is a bit of innocence and coquettishness.

The two old men on the left and right both had smiles on their faces. Standing next to her, the young man in Xuanyi whispered, "Silly girl." ”

Everyone was immersed in a pleasant atmosphere, only Hu Jiuling was so anxious, "Just now Daddy felt that he had forgotten something, this morning a crowd of people gathered in front of the door, isn't it still the girl of the Shen family who made a ghost." The girl followed Shen Jinshan, and her whole body was full of heart. If Ah Yao really worships under the name of Mo Daru and becomes her junior sister, I am afraid that three more hearts and eyes will not be enough in the future. ”

After speaking, he turned to the left, "Hu mentioned the Great Confucian disciple in a hurry, if there is anything wrong, I hope you don't take it to heart." ”

Fellow sisters...... Smacking these four words, when we meet in the future, we will respectfully call Shen Moci as my senior sister...... Just thinking about her makes her feel uncomfortable. can be considered deeper, those senior brothers of Shen Moci who were from good backgrounds in the previous life will also become her senior brothers in the future. It doesn't seem intolerable to exchange a disgusting title for so many benefits.

After thinking about it, she also looked to the left, which made Mo Daru's expression a little stiff.

"It's really old...... Ill-conceived. ”

Thinking of the grace of the Emperor Taishang's former acquaintance, Mo Daru swallowed the "forced helplessness" on the side of his mouth, and then took the matter to himself. However, he was by no means a reckless man, and when he was promised to be the king yesterday, he had already thought it through in his heart.

"But ......"

"Mo Daru doesn't have to be like this, Ayao is stupid by nature, you are willing to condescend to accept me as an apprentice, this is already a great honor. As for the girl of the Shen family, you have already spoken fairly in front of the mansion just now; Second, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and those who also read the books of sages, some people are gentlemen and capable ministers, but there are still many people who become traitorous villains, well-dressed birds and beasts, it is difficult to blame the book for such a difference. This is true of the books of the sages, and even more so of the teachers who teach the books of the sages. ”

Searching the intestines and scraping the belly finally expressed the meaning clearly, Ah Yao struck while the iron was hot, and gave up her hands left and right, she tried her best to make her expression solemn, "Master Kukai, Mo Daru, if you don't dislike it, Ah Yao is willing to worship you as a teacher at the same time." ”

Master Kukai was happy to see it, and looked at the cold-faced young man in Xuanyi behind him, and he only felt that the big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.

Mo Daru was more emotional at the moment.

"One rice raises a hundred kinds of people, that's right."

has been in Vanity Fair for half his life, in addition to Shen Moci, he has many apprentices who also can't wipe their faces. Although there are many young talents among them, more of them are cockfighting lackeys, and these people are not less committed as rapists and criminals on weekdays.

After solving Ah Shu's riddle in the past two days and waking up, what he regretted the most was this incident. When he was in the prime of life, instead of sinking down to study, he became an umbrella for these moths.

Regret came flooding back, gnawing at his heart day and night. And now the words of the Hu family girl made him suddenly enlightened again. The same master teaches the same coursework, why do some people become young talents, while others become gentlemen? Although his remorse could not be completely erased, he had realized that he should no longer dwell on such idle things.

In his heart, he was grateful to Ayao for three points, and he was calm, and when he spoke again, he looked at Hu Jiuling.

"Master Hu has a loving heart, how can he blame the old man. It's also strange that the old man didn't make it clear, there are some things that Master Hu really doesn't have to worry about. The one who wants to take the girl of the Hu family as an apprentice is an old wife. It's just that she died three years ago, and some things need to be taught by the old man, and nominally Miss Hu has nothing to do with Miss Shen. ”

It turned out that this was the case, and Hu Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief.

And such a good thing? She was already mentally prepared to call Senior Sister Shen Moci, and after hearing this, her psychological pressure dropped sharply, and even her whole little face brightened.

The big trouble in my heart was solved, and A-Yao's apprenticeship was finally finalized.

Hu Jiuling also completely changed his attitude, and in the face of his beloved daughter, the two masters who were not light, he made enough of the respectful posture that a father should have. Ordered the maid to put on refreshments, and sat down at the bottom of the head, chatting with the two. As a businessman, it has long become instinct to observe words and feelings, and he has seen a lot of knowledge in the north and south over the years, and the combination of the two will talk to the two old men, and he will not fall behind at all.

The Three Musketeers, who were still miserable a moment ago, chatted more and more speculatively, and sat down closer to the door, Yu Guang skimmed the little girl with bright eyes, and Lu Jingyuan twisted his eyebrows.

At first, he had a preconceived idea, thinking that the girl's targeting of Shen Moci in the academy was just jealousy born of her love and possessiveness for Song Qinwen. But after several temptations, whether it was the belly pocket of the academy or the conversation on the mountain road, she didn't seem to be as interested in Song Qinwen as he had seen in her previous life.

If this is the case, why did she target Shen Moci like this?

A thought flashed through his mind, so fast that he couldn't grasp it at all. But he had a hunch, and that was the truth.

After several attempts to recall, he couldn't remember, so he put the matter aside for the time being. That girl's feelings for Song Qinwen are not deep enough, knowing this is enough for him. Thinking of this, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he listened intently to Hu Jiuling talking about A-Yao's childhood.

With his words, he sketched such a picture in his mind: two fat dolls with little chirps holding rabbit rag dolls of equal height, running on the wooden bridge of the nine-curved cloister on their short legs. She fell because she ran too fast, and her round body rolled with the rag doll.

Stupid girl, really stupid since childhood. In his heart, his temperament gradually calmed down.

The atmosphere in the hall was harmonious, and it didn't take long for even the Song family to rush over.

Yesterday, when she worshiped the Buddha, she suffered a little wind, and she was a little dizzy in the morning, coupled with her weakness for many years, she heard that Yang's mother and daughter were coming to make trouble, and tried her best to smear Ayao's reputation. When she woke up, she recalled how she felt when she was resented and dragged behind by someone she had always trusted, and finally realized how it felt when Ah Yao came back from the academy on the first day and was questioned by her when she told about her grievances.

Empathetic to her, she finally came to her senses, and her heart to make up for it was unprecedentedly strong, regardless of her physical weakness, she called her subordinates to ask about things outside the house.

Knowing that the turmoil had passed, she was glad but also a little regretful. When A-Yao needed her, she didn't show up with her again, and she was a mother in vain.

"Serve me to make up and change my clothes."

Forcefully got up, adjusted her face to a normal face with fat powder, and changed into the grand clothes that she wore during the New Year's holidays, and she was helped into the front yard by her subordinates.

was able to be selected by the Hu family to marry back then, and the Song family was not useless. The Song family has been cultivating and reading heirlooms for a hundred years, and they know more about the etiquette and preferences of scholars than Hu Jiuling.

In Ah Yao's surprised gaze, she swallowed the bitterness that rose slightly in her heart, and sat under Hu Jiuling to listen to him talk with the two old men.

While listening to her, she thought about it, A-Yao had suffered such a big grievance, and she had to find a way to make up for it. But what should be done and what should not be done, the master has done almost the same, and for a while she really didn't know where to start.

was anxious, still maintaining a decent smile on his face, and occasionally used eye gestures to order his subordinates to serve tea and pour water. In this way, the sun gradually turned westward, and just as she was about to retire and prepare for dinner, she happened to hear them talk about the auspicious day of apprenticeship.

Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration in front of her eyes. Aren't those people outside all spreading the word that Ah Yao is bad, and even her sister-in-law and niece also came to the door to make trouble and poured dirty water on her?

Seeing that the hurt person is not successful, he will slip and smear oil on the soles of his feet, hide for two days and wait for the limelight to pass, and then come out and continue to live a peaceful life? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!

"Heaven and earth are the masters, and the master-apprentice relationship is ranked above the parents. Master Kukai and Mo Daru are both famous people in the world, and your willingness to accept Ayao is the creation of my Hu family, and this apprenticeship ceremony cannot be shabby no matter what. According to my woman's short-term opinion, we have to do a great job, at least for three days. ”

She just wants to make this matter known to everyone, so that the initiators can look at Ayao's scenery for a long time, and let them be poked in the backbone for a few more days!
