Ah Tao looked at her mother's smile and groaning, as if she was really a little prodigy, so she lowered her eyes, very proud.

He Chengzhi felt that although her daughter was lazy, she was very smart and learned things quickly, so she was naturally very happy.

He Tangtong touched his daughter's head and said, "Today, my Ah Tao is also tired, so let's practice here." We're practicing tomorrow. ”

Because Ah Tao's handwriting has made great progress, He Tangyu asked Song Huainan to invite Mr. Wei to come back to teach Ah Tao, this time Mr. Son and Daughter have come to the house, but Ah Tao is eating pastries in the room.

Mama Lan walked in and said, "The lady you invited has arrived. ”

What kind of female gentleman? Ah Tao didn't know anything about it.

The female gentleman's name is Ban Yu, Ban Wu is a famous goddess prodigy in Chang'an City, since she was a child, her talent is far better than those big talents, Ban Wu has now become a parent, her husband is the son of the nobles of Chang'an City, Rong Xuan, and he is also the same talented person, but compared to her wife, his talent is still weaker.

Before going out, Ah Tao also deliberately looked at herself in the mirror, this female gentleman is notoriously strict, and she is not allowed to bring any beaded jewelry in her class, so Ah Tao had to take off all the jewelry on her head.

In order to facilitate Ah Tao's schooling, Song Huainan deliberately set up a school in the house, and all the women of school age in the house can live here, and Ah Tao is tantamount to having the best relationship with her cousin Sister Ping.

Because the school is located in the house, there are naturally not many students, so the female gentleman has to put a lot of energy into rectifying the students who are not serious, Ah Tao is tantamount to one of them, during class, as long as she dozes off, the female gentleman will pull her up to answer questions.

Ah Tao didn't listen carefully, so naturally he couldn't answer, so angry that the female gentleman directly asked Ah Tao to simply stand and listen to the class.

On this day, the female gentleman left his homework and asked them to recite the "Three Character Sutra", and when they came to class another day, the female gentleman named Ah Tao to recite it to her, and Ah Tao took it seriously, and even if he memorized it, after memorizing it, he also said to the female gentleman: "Sir, I have finished reciting, do you think this is okay?" ”

Ah Tao's back was very smooth, and even Sister Ping cast envious eyes, but He Tangzhi himself was a little weak-hearted.

The female gentleman bowed slightly, without any praise, and only said, "You can sit down." ”

After that, I asked Sister Ping to get up and recite, Sister Ping has always been serious about learning, outside of class, but also returned to her room, and read the book seriously, the "Learning and Chapter" in the Three Character Classic, she is naturally familiar with the melon, but she has always been timid, especially in the face of Mr., she is even more timid, and it is also pimple to memorize.

Seeing this, the female gentleman hurriedly comforted her: "Don't panic, take your time." ”

Back to the back, Sister Ping'er was finally in a better state, and all the remaining sentences were memorized, and then she looked at the female gentleman in a daze, a little anxious and uneasy.

The female gentleman smiled and praised: "It's a good back, I think you have memorized it seriously in private, and you can sit down." ”

After receiving the praise from the female gentleman, Sister Ping'er's little face suddenly became stained with a smile and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Then she sat down happily, intending to tell her mother that she had been praised by her husband after class.

The female gentleman glanced sideways at Ah Tao, and saw that there was no sense of loss on her face, so she continued to teach.

After class, the two sisters went out of class, Sister Pingping looked at Ah Tao, saw that she didn't speak, and estimated that she was unhappy about what she had just done, so she said, "Ah Tao, you ...... Aren't you happy? ”

Ah Tao said, "Why does my cousin ask that?" ”

Sister Ping bit her lip and said with some uneasiness: "Just now, cousin, your sister carried it better than me, but Mr. only praised me, not you." If it were you, I wouldn't be happy. ”

She knows that she is smart, but Ah Tao's cousin is smarter than her, and on weekdays in class, her husband will only praise her, but he will turn a blind eye to her cousin.

What does Tao think is going on? said: "Mr.'s praise is not uncommon for me, but in my eyes, my cousin is indeed the most powerful, not to me will always be clever, fooling others is okay, but not fooling Mr." ”

Seeing that Ah Tao's cousin was not unhappy because of this, Sister Ping was relieved and went to Ah Tao's room to eat snacks together.

At night, Mama Lan waited for Ah Tao to bathe, and after finishing putting on a moon-white collared bedgown, she was carried to the bed barefoot.

Ah Tao spread her hair and said to Mama Lan: "Mama, haven't I become heavier?" ”

Mama Lan took the clean handkerchief from the other maid's hand, wiped Ah Tao's little feet, raised her eyes and said, "The girl is when she grows her body, so she is naturally heavier." ”

Is it?

Tao stretched out her hand and rubbed her face.

……

After class on this day, Ah Tao wanted to go to the street to buy a gift for Brother Zhou, and Brother Zhou's birthday was approaching.

He Chengtong remembered that her girl was serious about class during this time, so she took thirty taels out of the treasury and asked Mama Lan to take her to the street to buy gifts. At least fifty taels. ”

He Chengtong thought to himself that thirty taels was enough for ordinary people, and besides, a small doll couldn't buy anything expensive, so why did he spend so much money?

He Chengtong asked: "Then you tell your mother, what do you want, you need so much fifty taels?" ”

Ah Tao said: "Mother, you forgot, a few days will be Cousin Zhou's birthday, and in previous years, you gave Cousin Zhou every time." ”

was reminded by Ah Tao like this, and He Tangtong suddenly reacted, and he actually forgot such an important matter.

But how can I remember my daughter better than her.

Thinking that Ah Tao was celebrating her cousin's birthday, He Tangyu took out thirty taels from the treasury and gave Ah Tao fifty taels.

"Now you should be satisfied. Okay, now that the hour is still there, you have to go early and come back early, don't play too long, otherwise your father will be angry if he knows that I am used to you. ”

Ah Tao smiled and kissed her mother's face, and said happily: "I know, my mother is so good, Ah Tao loves her mother the most." ”

When he came out of the Song Mansion, he went to the study shop first and bought a good brush to celebrate his cousin's birthday.

The owner of the study shop is a middle-aged man with a big belly, and he is a little surprised to see the little girl in the shop who is choosing a brush on her toes.

But looking at her unusual dress and the slaves who followed her, the boss knew that her identity was not ordinary.
