Chapter Seventy-Nine: Teacher
On this day, Jinghu did not see Ke Mingxu again. She lingered outside the courtyard of the Hejing Hall for a few more moments. I want to go, but I don't want to go, there is nothing more tangled than such a mood.
If only everything was as simple as wiping dominoes, everyone played the cards on the table, clear. She does the math, and she never knows what cards she should play.
On the morning of the second day, she went to a small courtyard called Lingxunzhai in the palace of Yongning County to attend classes. The teacher Ke Mingxu hired for her would be waiting for her there.
It's always a tiring thing to like others, usually she stays up late and wipes dominoes with the maids, and when she gets up the next day, she never feels tired. But I didn't do anything last night, just tossing and turning, and when I woke up in the morning, I felt very unrefreshed.
When she asked her mother to say goodbye, she was afraid that she would see something, and she would think that she had repented, and as soon as she let her go to school, she was unhappy again.
No matter what the future holds, even if it wasn't for Ke Mingxu, she would learn the language well, because she liked it too.
Jinghu has two older sisters, and when she was young, her sisters were not married, so they followed them to class here.
The gentleman also knew that she had been crowned the county lord in 100 days, and she was the youngest daughter of the king of Yongning County, so his thoughts were on the two older and well-behaved sisters, and let Jinghu sit in the front row and do nonsense.
Later, the two elder sisters married off one after another, and only Jinghu was left as a student in the training room. There was a stricter gentleman, who always refused to give up, dutifully managed her, and often punished her for copying books, and she really hated going to school from then on.
It wasn't until Mr. Zheng resigned from the gym to prepare for a career, and Jinghu was going to Jiangnan again, that she felt better.
Although she didn't like that Mr. Zheng, she also knew that she had caused him a lot of trouble, and she still felt a little uncomfortable, and gave him the hundreds of taels of silver she had cheated from Jing Xun in the past when she said goodbye.
Although he refused to ask for it, he thought that he had told her mother with good intentions, saying that she was sensible. As a result, her mother checked her account carefully - after all, she and the king of Yongning County almost didn't give her any silver on weekdays.
She was kind, but she got herself in trouble.
When Jinghu arrived at Lingxunzhai, the new gentleman had not yet come, which was rare, and there was a later gentleman than her. She thought so wildly, with her hands on her elbows, she became more and more sleepy, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
In winter, the days are short, and when I wake up, it is already noon. In a daze, she saw a person sitting next to her, and her consciousness gradually woke up, and she couldn't help but be startled.
When I stood up and wanted to retreat, I tripped over a stool and fell straight down.
Jinghu couldn't help but gasp, looked at the person again, still sitting in Fang Cai's position, glanced at her indifferently, and continued to read his book.
This man looked about her age, maybe a year or two older than her. Ke Mingxu once said that the teacher she invited was of this age.
The Yongning County Mansion is not just anyone who can come in, and there are only two of them in the training room. It seems that he should be her new teacher.
The teachers are all the same, annoying.
She glared at him fiercely, but the young man spoke, "You still refuse to get up, are you waiting for me to help you?" ”
Of course not! She just hadn't reacted yet. People really can't sleep for a short time, she feels that her brain is chaotic.
Jinghu stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and then sat down in his original position, although he had just lost face, now he had to make an arrogant look, "You are Meng Heting?" ”
The young man's gaze took his eyes off the book in his hand, "Maybe you should call me Mr. Meng." In the fast, I am your teacher. ”
"Okay." Jing Hu casually dusted off his clothes in his direction, "Mr. Meng, I don't think you are a very qualified teacher." Students sleep in class, and you don't say anything. ”
He was the person recommended by Ke Mingxu, and she thought that even if he was not as gentle as Ke Mingxu, he would not treat people so coldly as he did today.
He returned his gaze to his book, "The little county lord is really interesting, not to say that he is an unqualified student, he fell asleep in the first class, but instead accused the teacher of being irresponsible. ”
Jinghu snorted coldly, "In this matter, both sides are at fault, instead of thinking about it, it's better to start the class earlier." I'm looking forward to seeing how well Mr. Meng will take the class. ”
Meng Heting finally closed the book in his hand and stood in front of Jinghu. It also made her see his appearance clearly.
Although his temperament is not as good as Ke Mingxu, this pair of skins is rare in the world. He is from Eile, but he looks no different from Yanliang, except that his hair is not jet black, and it is faintly yellow in the sun.
He was sitting in the shadows, and standing in front of her at this moment, she realized that his complexion was not inferior to hers.
His nose is better than most Yanliang men, and with a pair of quiet eyes that don't belong to this age, he suddenly compares other Yanliang teenagers.
No wonder he is so arrogant. Good people always seem to have some privileges. It is not easy to be criticized by others.
However, Jinghu himself is not bad, and he will not be suppressed by his momentum.
"Before I begin, I would like to ask why the little county lord wants to learn the language of Eile."
Jinghu had a bad impression of him, and felt that everything he did that had nothing to do with the class was to find fault. "What? If I don't answer well, Mr. Meng won't teach me? ”
His tone was still cold, "If the county lord doesn't want to say it, then that's it." I also understand how the Yanliang people view the Eile people and the Eile people after living in Yanliang for so many years. ”
"I'm afraid the gentleman is wrong. I have not been to Ele, and I have not met any other Ele people before my husband. So I'm not going to judge things I don't know anything about it. ”
Standing on the position of the Yanliang people, it is indeed the Eile people who are untamed every year and invade our Yanliang border. Poverty is not an excuse for them to raise their armies. Nor can war be forever just.
Since he was exiled to Yanliang since he was a child, and he depended on his grandmother for his life, he must have lived a very hard life in the past.
Although he looks like a Yanliang person, he is not after all, and it should not be easy to integrate into the environment here and get used to the life here.
That's why you develop such an indifferent character. There wasn't much he cared about, so he naturally didn't have to smile at everyone.
