CHAPTER XVIII

When Mrs. Su took Xiao Nan and them to leave the school, Xiao Nan felt that she was still confused, didn't she say that she could come to the school with Brother Chengzhi and Brother Cheng'an in the future? Why do you want to go to Su Fuzi's house instead?

When leaving the school, Xiao Nannan looked at Brother Chengzhi and Brother Cheng'an with some anxiety, although Xu Chengzhi was also very uneasy in his heart, and some regretted bringing Xiao Nannan out today, but so many people were here, he couldn't stop him, so he nodded to Xiao Nannan, after all, Mrs. Master was right, you can't really let a group of female students study with male students, presumably no one can study with peace of mind.

Besides, there is not much space in the school, and after these female students come, it makes the already small school even more crowded, and the academy in the entire school may not be able to learn anything, so it is better to bring the few female students to the master's house and open up another place in the master's courtyard to teach alone.

Moreover, Mrs. Confucius also said that women do not need to take the imperial examination in the same way as these men, so the content of their study is completely different from that of these male students, so there is no need to stay here.

Cheng Zhi looked at the back of Xiao Nan Nan and their departure, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, always feeling that there have always been a lot of strange things since Xiao Nan Nan appeared in Xujia Village, I don't know if he is suspicious, but Cheng Zhi can't control himself not to doubt the origin of Su Fuzi's family, is it really the new master introduced by Fang Fuzi for them?

But with the cautious character of the village chief, he should have understood it a long time ago, and there is also a letter from Master Fang, how can these be explained? Could it be that I am really worried about myself?

Cheng Zhi couldn't help but look at Cheng An, that kid couldn't help but fall asleep for a long time, he couldn't help frowning, in addition to taking the road of the imperial examination, how should they leave Xujia Village? In Chengzhi's heart, he has always wanted to leave here with his younger brother and Xu A-Niang, over the years, he has too many doubts buried in his heart, maybe only by really going out can he know the truth of those things!

But the biggest headache for Cheng Zhi is that Cheng An really can't study hard, no matter how much guidance and beating can't make him really have an epiphany, obviously he carefully taught him every bit of things taught by his master, but Cheng An always can't accept it, Cheng Zhi can't help but worry about their future again.

Suddenly, Cheng Zhi felt as if someone had been looking at him, and quickly turned his head, but saw that the student on Cheng Zhi's right was surprised for a moment when he saw Cheng Zhi looking at him, but then smiled at Cheng Zhi again, and then turned his head to listen carefully to the master's lecture.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhi couldn't help frowning again, this person was Su Qiyun, the eldest son of Su Fuzi, this time Cheng Zhi's feeling was even stronger, he felt that his family seemed to have been under Su Fuzi's constant attention, and it seemed that he would go to the village chief's house again in a while, and ask about the specific situation of this Su Fuzi, even if there was a letter of introduction, it was not necessarily reliable.

Xu Chengzhi thought about it all day, worried about Xiao Nan Nan for a while, worried about Xu Cheng'an's future for a while, doubtful about Su Fuzi's personality and their family's intentions, and thought about sending Xiao Nan away as soon as possible, so that Su Fuzi didn't listen carefully to what Cheng Zhi said for a whole day.

After Cheng Zhi and Cheng An left the school, they went to Su Fuzi's house as soon as possible to bring home the little girl who was already waiting there.

To Xu Chengzhi's surprise, Xiao Nannan now has no feeling of panic when she left, jumping up and down all the way, and even humming a song in her mouth, "Brother Azhi, Brother A'an, what you said is really right, I really made a new friend today, Sister Su is very good to me, Mrs. Su praised me for writing well when I asked us to read, in fact, I have learned those before, and I know a little more words than them, and I am very embarrassed to be praised by Mrs. Su." ”

Cheng An praised in particular, "That's also because cousin, you are great, your handwriting must be very beautiful, and the master often says that my handwriting is too ugly." ”

Saying that, Cheng An was extremely embarrassed to hide his hand behind him and rub it, because the master was not good at handwriting, he still remembered the matter of playing his own hand.

Cheng Zhi became more and more puzzled after listening to Xiao Nannan's story, looked at Xiao Nannan and asked, "What else did Mrs. Su take you to do today?" What words have they taught you? ”

"After Mrs. Su took us to her house today, let's all tell us who we are first, and teach us to write our own names."

Cheng Zhi frowned even more when he heard this, for these female students in Xujiacun who couldn't read big characters, it was not ordinary to teach them to write their names on the first day.

"You said you met a new friend today? Who is it? Cheng Zhi also knew these people in Xujia Village, but Cheng Zhi couldn't think of who took the initiative to show favor to Xiao Nannan, an outsider, on the first day.

"Sister Su Meng, there are a lot of things I don't understand, Sister Su Meng patiently explained to me, and when we went to the school this morning, only Sister Su Meng took the initiative to sit next to me and talk to me!" Thinking of the embarrassment that before Sister Su Meng went to the school this morning, she was very glad that there was such a person who was willing to accompany her.

Cheng Zhi's already frowning brows furrowed even deeper, Su Meng? A woman surnamed Su in Xujia Village is obviously inseparable from Su Fuzi, and it is likely that she is the woman who stayed with them for a day in the school yesterday through the curtain, Cheng Zhi thought that this woman should be Su Fuzi's daughter, right?

But she and Xiao Nannan are different in age and what they have learned, how did they get together? Cheng Zhi once again had to doubt the intentions of Su Fuzi's family, why did this Su Meng take the initiative to approach Xiao Nannan?

Thinking of this, Cheng Zhi asked again, "What did Su Meng learn today?" Wouldn't it be possible to learn to write your own name with you? ”

Chengzhi said this, even he felt funny, how could a woman who could debate and study with them just learn to write her own name?

Sure enough, Xiao Nannan's words confirmed Xu Chengzhi's conjecture, "Of course not, Sister Su Meng was called by Mrs. Su to teach us to write together, Sister Su Meng is very gentle, those young ladies have never been able to write, I asked Sister Su Meng over and over again, and Sister Su Meng will teach them patiently." ”

Cheng Zhi listened and wondered if he was suspicious, and now seeing that Su Fuzi's family was really doing their best to help the people of Xujia Village study, and even had no ill will towards Xiao Nannan, could it be that he really thought wrong?
