Chapter 46: The City
One day after the Shangsi Festival, the sky was still bright, and it was foggy in Qingcheng.
Early in the morning, Qingshuang led the maid over with a basin and cloth towel for the washroom, and almost collided with the oncoming nursing home. Fortunately, she was quick and stopped in time at an arm's length away from people.
"It's foggy."
"It's not just fog, the damp goes straight into people's bones, but it seems to have entered the rainy season in advance."
"It's not going to be a cold spring...... right?"
I don't know which maid muttered such a sentence in the back, Qingshuang's heart rippled slightly, and she frowned and looked back, "Why do you just chatter, the girl is about to wake up, and her hands and feet are neat." ā
As soon as the maid hurriedly silenced, Sister Qingshuang became more and more majestic as a big girl, and sometimes a glance at her, as if she could see through the small movements behind them.
The water is served by the water, the tea is held by the tea, and the twelve maids walk into the room in two rows side by side. Qingshuang walked in the front, instructed them to walk outside, and walked into the bedroom lightly.
"Girl, it's time to get up."
"I'll sleep for a while," a small head with messy hair was revealed in the brocade quilt on the mulberry silk face, and then a small hand stretched out next to the head, and the little hand was clenched up to reveal only one finger, "Just a stick of incense, okay?" ā
That day, I didn't say that I would sleep with another stick of incense, but after one stick of incense, there was still half a column of incense, so it kept dragging back. Thinking of the girl's bad records in the past, Qingshuang shook her head helplessly.
Just about to forcibly wake people up, she looked down and saw the little head on the pillow, the hair crossed the eye socket and crossed the corners of her lips slightly, half-covering her fair face, and her small mouth pursed slightly, as if she was complaining about the person who disturbed her sleep. It's no wonder that the old man is so petted, Master Kukai and Mo Daru are vying to take her as an apprentice, who wouldn't like such a lovely girl?
"Just a stick of incense."
A grunting sound of response came, and Qingshuang walked to the door, shook her head at the maids outside the door, and closed the door lightly. Then the window opened slightly to let in the bedroom after a dull night. Fresh air came, and in the slightly gloomy bedroom, she frowned at the bulging mass in the bed.
I'm afraid that today I will have to endure my inner struggle and fight wits and courage with the girl.
The time for a stick of incense passed quickly, and after taking a deep breath, she walked into the stepping bed again, "Girl, it's not too early to wake up." ā
Ah Yao on the bed got up with a grunt, and the brocade was sandwiched under the squeaky nest, and the group was between the curled up belly and arms.
"Where's the water?"
"Ah...... The slave and the maid will go and call someone. ā
Why did the girl wake up like this, until she opened the door and called someone in, waiting for Ah Yao to wash, Qingshuang had not recovered from the shock just now.
Not only her, but also Hu Jiuling and Song who were waiting in the hall were shocked, "A-Yao, why is it so early today." ā
Sitting on the circle chair next to Hu Jiuling across the table, Song also nodded, today A-Yao was half an hour earlier than usual.
"Yesterday, my daughter promised her father that she would go to the shop to learn from her. But the homework of the academy can't be left behind, and the two masters have to learn it, and the things promised to Daddy can't be left behind, so they can only write the fun pavilion www.biquge.info early. ā
This is her daughter, how diligent and motivated!
Looking at Ah Yao's little hand rubbing her eyes, Hu Jiuling was a little distressed, but more proud.
"It's good that A-Yao has this heart, it's time for you to grow your body, it's okay to learn less, but you can't burn your body bones."
Yes, just getting up early like this, Hu Jiuling already thought of his beloved daughter's daily three watches and five watches, and he insisted on breaking the strict prohibition and making his body weak.
Ah Yao couldn't cry or laugh, "Daddy and Aunt don't get up earlier than their daughter every day." The plan of the day lies in the morning, and Daddy is in such good health now, he will definitely be fine. Okay, let's hurry up and bring breakfast first. ā
"Breakfast."
Waiting for the next person's kung fu to cloth vegetables, the Song family mentioned yƬ, anyway, there are already two masters, so simply remove the class from the academy.
"Ah Niang is also reasonable, whether it is Master Kukai or Mo Daru, his knowledge is no less than that of the master of the academy. If you just learn some subsets of scriptures and history, it is enough to rely on two masters. But my daughter feels that what she lacks most now is not knowledge, but the principles of how to behave in the world. There are many classmates in the female school, and I have more contact with them, and my daughter feels that she has benefited a lot. ā
was framed by Shen Moci several times, and Ah Yao finally realized her biggest shortcoming. It is true that there is a gap between her and Shen Moci in knowledge, but the biggest gap between the two is not knowledge, but the control of people's hearts.
The belly pocket is full of twists and turns, a little thing to catch the wind and shadows, Shen Moci can use people's hearts, publicize it to the whole city, and then splash dirty water on her. Now that she is still in the boudoir, she has already had such storms. If Daddy is old in the future, she will take over the Hu family's business, and the things she will encounter will only be bigger and more complicated.
There are some things she may not do, but that doesn't stop her from understanding.
"But it's too hard." Since being stimulated by Song Qinwen to wake up, Song regrets not being at the beginning, and he will be eager to make up for all the care that has been missing in the first ten years, and he cares about Ayao's affairs even more in big and small matters.
Hu Jiuling was also worried about this, "Why don't you shorten the hours?" ā
Ah Yao thought about it and felt that this method was feasible. After all, she is only one, and her mind is not the most smart, and she is slow to learn things, so she can't split herself in half.
"But Gu Shanchang's side ......"
At the beginning, in order to apprentice Mo Daru, he tried his best to enter the academy, but he looked like he didn't want to go, which was a little bad.
Hu Jiuling and Song also thought of this, and this matter is indeed a little unreasonable. Just when the family of three was in a state of sorrow, the three of them walked in with the maid of Bucai.
"Master Kuhai, Mo Daru ......" paused, Hu Jiuling looked at the young man in Xuanyi between the two, and arched his hand, "Master Hou, you three are ......"
The three of them lived in the house temporarily, Hu Jiuling was afraid of snubbing the distinguished guests, in fact, it was also to guard against a certain wolf cub, after the apprenticeship was completed yesterday, he instructed his subordinates to clean up the largest courtyard in the front yard and the farthest away from the embroidery building where Ayao was located to place the three people. In addition, the meals they use are also made extra, and the best chefs in the city are invited to make the three of them feel at home without sparing any ingredients.
It stands to reason that this exquisite breakfast should have been served over there, why did the three of them still come over?
Looking at the young man in Xuanyi, a premonition faintly rose in his heart.
It was Master Kukai who spoke, "It's already a nuisance for the three of us to live in your mansion, so it's good to have a simple breakfast, it's too much waste to be so grand." I was ashamed, so I came to dine with my master's house. ā
The two masters came, and Ah Yao hurriedly stood up.
"Master doesn't have to think like this," rubbing her hands, her apricot eyes flickered, and her expression was a little embarrassed, "Later, when you teach Ah Yao, when you can't memorize the article after reading it twice, you won't feel ashamed to eat this meal when you see such a dull student." ā
"It's not common to read it twice but memorize it?" Mo Daru was full of doubts.
"But ......" Ah Yao looked at the young man in Xuanyi between the two, "A few days ago, Brother Jing explained to Ah Yao, and he had to memorize it directly after reading it." Ah Yao is stupid, she can't memorize it once she hears it read, but Brother Jing can memorize it backwards with a little glance. ā
What the!
Mo Daru, Master Kukai, and the Song family were shocked at the same time.
Mo Daru finally understood why on the day of discussing the apprenticeship, when he was angry and proposed to let the little marquis temporarily act as a professor, Master Kukai agreed so happily. It is true that the little marquis is a demon king in the capital, and basically no one knows that he has ever read seriously.
can have this kind of ability to never forget, how can you study hard. If you have nothing to do, you can learn better than most people who have studied hard for many years. What's more, he has such a master as Kukai, and his knowledge is definitely not far behind.
He had to sigh again how the old turtle could be so good. has accepted such an apprentice for most of his life, and the talent is breathtaking.
Master Kukai was shocked by the way the little marquis did things, he tried his best to find a reason to talk about the scriptures and Taoism in Huashou Temple, and walked around the pagoda every day, so idle that he almost counted how many trees there were in the forest behind the East Mountain. Why are you working so hard, isn't it just to let the two cultivate a relationship!
That's how he trained him?
For a moment, he only felt that the apprentice still had a long way to go if he wanted to get rid of the lonely old man's lifelong road.
"Is this unforgettable?" Hu Jiuling was more direct, and even he would be a little gloating, "Master Hou's talent is so high, my family's Ayao is dull, I'm afraid you can't teach it." I think in the future, I will be exempted from teaching on my behalf. ā
Although the three-person guest house was placed in the farthest place from the main courtyard, it couldn't prevent the wolf cub from coming into contact with Ah Yao during the lesson. Fortunately, he is smart, how can such a smart person teach his family A-Yao.
"This ......"
Master Kukai looked at the little marquis's face.
was looked at by several people, but Lu Jingyuan only paid attention to the father and goddess of the Hu family. The girl's expression was as stunned as ever, but he could see Hu Jiuling's hostility clearly.
Is this guarding against him?
It just so happens that he is going to be busy these days, so it is better to push the boat down the river and let him lower his vigilance.
"It's fine."
Ah Yao pouted, was she disgusted by Brother Jing? In fact, she also knows that not everyone can be as smart as Brother Jing. Not to mention others, there are many classmates in the female school, such as Su Xiaoqiao, who has the best relationship with her, and the endorsement speed is not as fast as her. But it is Shen Moci who wants to catch up, not Shen Moci herself, but if she wants to take on the family business, she must at least achieve Shen Moci's level. If her goals are set high, she naturally has to look up to people in higher places.
She has worked hard these days, but she is still disliked. She bowed her head and lowered her shoulders, looking a little depressed.
Yu Guang saw his daughter like this, and Hu Jiuling became more and more satisfied.
Three people are invited to sit down, and six people are seated around the table. Before breakfast, Hu Jiuling mentioned the college homework that had just been discussed.
He thought that he was embarrassed to say it, and if these two people mentioned it casually, Gu Shanchang's side would definitely agree.
Who would have thought that as soon as he said it, Mo Daru had already spoken, "After the apprenticeship ceremony yesterday, I chatted with Gu Shanchang for a few words. He took the initiative to mention that Ah Yao now has my two masters, and there must be no problem with schoolwork, and if it is busy at the academy, you can study it as appropriate. ā
Gu Shanchang's meaning is very clear, you already have two such good masters, and the academy can not be used. Even so, Ah Yao felt that she still had to go. After putting the ideas everywhere, the two masters also agreed. In the end, the three masters and apprentices agreed that the academy would go to the academy for two days every ten days, and the rest of the morning would follow one of the masters.
In this way, Ah Yao's reading was decided.
Eating without saying a word, when the breakfast was finished, in Hu Jiuling's satisfied eyes, Lu Jingyuan said goodbye and left the Hu family. Yesterday he said that he would send invitations to various merchants, and today he will write these things. Although he doesn't need to write it himself, there are some contents that he still has to check and decide one by one.
Ah Yao followed Mo Daru back to read and write.
After reading in the morning, I will go to my own shop in the afternoon. The lunch was extraordinarily rich, and even Lu Jingyuan, who was busy outside, rushed back to use it.
After Ah Yao ran out, he also stopped his chopsticks, "It just so happens that I am also going out to send you to the silk village together." ā
Hu Jiuling's face, which had been happy all morning, instantly darkened.
