But when Xinzhai was just at the window, he saw a scene that was not very comfortable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

What he saw was a group of children, with one of them surrounded by them.

The child who was surrounded in the middle didn't know him, so he certainly wasn't his own student.

But his own students, who had surrounded him in the middle, and were holding the wooden knives they had used for morning exercises, seemed to be happy, as if they had found a new toy in the midst of boring study.

This made Wei Xinzhai feel very uncomfortable subconsciously. So he put down the books he was still sorting out and walked out.

"You guys! It's still in the morning exercise! What are you doing!! ”

Wei Xinzhai walked slowly out of the mansion, getting closer and closer to the crowd where the children gathered.

When a dozen or so children who were more afraid of Wei Xinzhai heard his coming, they immediately shuddered a few times, then left the center of the crowd, picked up wooden knives and continued their morning exercises.

Of course, there are also many children who not only did not panic, but also became more and more excited after seeing their teacher Wei Xinzhai coming.

Especially the children in the lead, they even stepped forward directly, and said to Wei Xinzhai with some excitement:

"But Lord Shinsai! Look! We've caught the guy who sneaked into your home! ”

This tone and eyes are like asking for merit and reward.

When he heard this, he did not speak, nor did he rebuke the children. He walked straight forward and came to the center of the children's crowd, which was Chojiro's location. Seeing that Wei Xinzhai was coming, the children flashed to the side, and the air suddenly became silent.

“……”

Chojiro was still panicking just now, and suddenly the person he wanted to see the most appeared in front of his eyes. He could only keep his eyes open at this time, and his surprise temporarily blocked the words he wanted to speak.

Chojiro was surprised, so he couldn't speak. But it certainly won't. He stepped forward, glanced at the dirty boy he didn't know, and asked:

"Whose child are you?"

But Xinzhai's voice was loud and hoarse. This gave Chojiro a thrill, recovered from his surprise, and replied:

"Yes, yes, yes! I, I, I'm a child of the Togo family! Yes、It's from the Togo family line that lives in Kajiki! I、I'm called Chojiro! ”

Chojiro was nervous and somewhat incoherent.

After hearing this, Wei Xinzhai thought about it, nodded silently, and then continued to ask:

"Do you know what this place is? I don't think you're going to be able to get in here. ”

He raised his head and casually glanced at his surroundings, then his gaze stopped at the tree where Chojiro had jumped.

"That's where you jumped in. It's courageous. ”

Pointing his finger at the tree, Shinsai nodded again.

Xiuguang and Xiuzong immediately held their breath and stayed motionless among the dense leaves, in case they were seen by Wei Xinzhai.

"Yes, yes! I—I know! ”

Although I don't know whether Wei Xinsai's words just now were praising himself for daring to jump from such a high tree, or whether he was sarcastic that he actually had the courage to casually break into the residence, but anyway, Chojiro answered yes first, and then raised his head with some trepidation to look at this old man, who was countless times taller and stronger than himself, and asked with a hint of longing:

"W-That...... Are you Shimazu-sama? ”

"Yes, I am."

At this time, the surrounding children seem to be waiting to see Chojiro's joke and see how he was expelled. But instead of driving Chojiro away, he calmly answered Chojiro's question, and then continued to ask:

"Now that you know that the owner of this house is me, and you know that you can't break in at will. So why did you climb such a tall tree and jump in? ”

But this question of Xinzhai hits the center point at once. Chojiro swallowed, looked at the children who were watching, and then plucked up the courage to tell Wei Xinsai the reason why he had come in:

"It's, actually! I broke into your house to study! ”

The words spoken in one breath made Wei Xinzhai's eyes narrow slightly, and he was silent for a while.

Of course, this has also become the laughing stock of onlookers.

"You scumbag!"

"How could I possibly let you come in and study with us!"

"A rude person who will only break into the mansion of Lord Shinsai!"

"You can't come to study with us! It's so beautiful! Hum! ”

With the exception of a few sane children, most of them let out such laughter.

There was a commotion. There are teasing voices, and there are also voices of communication.

Chojiro stiffened, always hinting that he couldn't hear the voices, but he finally frowned slightly, feeling a little sad.

Of course, for these noises, but Xinsai's solution is also very simple.

“…… Did I let you speak casually? ”

It only takes one turn, one word, one look, and the crowd of children suddenly quiets down again.

After seeing the children quiet, Yushisai turned his head and looked at Chojiro in front of him again.

"You want to come and study with me?"

"Yes, yes! But because of my identity, I can't ......."

"Hmm. It seems that you know that too. The children who were able to receive my education on my side were all members of my Shimazu family and the heirs of the Shigetomi lineage. ”

But Shinsai glanced around at the children around him, and then his gaze returned to Chojiro,

"If a kid like you comes in, then my side will be endless. Because there are too many children like you to count. And it's not in line with the rules. ”

This is a stark reality. Wei Xinzhai said very calmly.

This is clearly a refusal. Chojiro was disappointed when he heard it. He hung his head, feeling as if he had been stuffed with all sorts of strange things, a little mixed, and even a feeling that he was about to cry.

Xiuguang and Xiuzong who were in the tree also heard this. Although they also feel sorry for Chojiro, there is nothing they can do to help Chojiro.

After saying this, Wei Shinsai stared at Chojiro for a long time, and then spoke:

"If you want to come to study with me, it's not impossible."

This sentence was dramatic and rekindled the flame of hope in Chojiro's heart.

However, the next sentence of Wei Xinzhai is still very grim and realistic.

"But, the premise is that you have to show me that you have the capital that allows me to break the rules and let you come in and learn."

But Shinsai is also very serious, and he doesn't mean to joke with Chojiro.

"If you can't do it, then leave."
