Li Hanyao still remembers the scene when she first saw Huang Xiu: she was wearing a tacky flower dress and pants, and ran to the courtyard of the Huang family to watch Huang Xiu tending to flowers and plants.

She called Huang Xiu "uncle".

This is the habit she developed when she walks outside: anyone older than Li Zhuohang is called "uncle", and younger than Li Zhuohang is called "uncle".

Her little appearance is too cute, no matter how perverse Huang Xiu is, he can't hate it in front of that white smiling face and dark and pure eyes. Moreover, she can speak well, is not afraid of life at all, although she approaches with a purpose, she does not pretend, and asks a thousand strange questions with her strong curiosity.

Huang Xiu's days of seclusion were very dull, and when he saw her cute, he chatted with her. Huang Xiu's attitude was not good, he looked disgusted and impatient, but Li Hanyao was not afraid of him, and still pestered him to ask this and that.

Huang Xiu liked this not squeamish temperament very much, and after some questions and answers, he was surprised to find that this little girl was unusually smart.

That's all, though.

He didn't ask Li Hanyao who her surname was or where she came from, let alone reveal her identity, just as if she was a naughty boy in the village. In fact, he has lived in Banqiao Village for several years and has never seen such a little girl.

Li Hanyao tried her best to show her intelligence, well-behaved, diligent and other advantages, hoping to arouse Huang Xiu's interest and accept her as a disciple. However, his mouth was dry, his face was sour, and Huang Xiu was still very cold.

Li Hanyao was feeling very tired.

At this time, Huang Xiu finished work, washed his hands and sat down under the laurel tree to drink tea, play chess, well, and eat snacks, Li Hanyao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Huang Xiu saw her staring at her hand, and thought she was greedy.

Li Hanyao said: "I can play chess!" ”

A little look that I want to show.

Huang Xiu said disapprerovantly: "Oh, then you can show me." Just hold the white son. If you can take three steps under my hand, this snack will be eaten for you. ”

He still felt that Li Hanyao was hungry for his dim sum, but the little girl was thin-skinned, embarrassed to say it directly, and reluctant to go, so she excused herself by saying that she could play chess; Otherwise, when I saw him eating, I left early with a little eyes.

Li Hanyao didn't know that she was regarded as a little gluttonous cat by Huang Xiu, so she happily walked opposite Huang Xiu, touched a white piece from the chess box and put it on the chessboard.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Hanyao lost.

However, three steps ahead of schedule.

Huang Xiu's eyes flashed with a different color, and he asked, "Who taught you to play chess?" ”

Li Hanyao said: "I did business with my father and watched people go to school on the street." ”

Huang Xiu: "Oh! ”

It turned out to be a merchant.

Li Hanyao urged him to play a second set.

If nothing happened, Huang Xiu allowed her, and then played another game.

On this day, they played four sets.

Li Hanyao has been supported for longer than one time.

Huang Xiu was shocked.

In the evening, Li Hanyao jumped away and said to go home.

After breakfast the next day, she came out of nowhere, followed Huang Xiu and watched him play with the flowers and plants, and then play chess. In the middle, Huang Xiu suddenly became impatient, put the chess pieces away, stopped playing, and went to the study to find a book to read.

While reading, Huang Xiu squinted at Li Hanyao and quietly paid attention to her movements.

Li Hanyao tilted her little head, looked at the rows of books on the shelves, and said enviously: "Uncle, can I borrow books to read?" ”

Huang Xiu was stunned and asked, "Do you recognize words?" ”

Li Hanyao said, "Hey." ”

Huang Xiu asked again: "Have you ever been to school?" ”

Li Hanyao said: "No. When I was doing business with my father, I met a private school, and I listened outside, learned a lot of words, and could read. ”

Huang Xiu said in disbelief: "Just listen to it outside the private school for a few days, and you will be able to read?" Can you read the words in the book? ”

Li Hanyao said: "If you don't know it, ask someone." "She's not lying, of course she has to ask if she doesn't recognize the words, but she's asking her father and mother.

Huang Xiu: "......"

He looked at Li Hanyao fixedly for a long time before he said, "Just say whatever book you want to read, and I'll help you get it." ”

So, Li Hanyao picked a copy of "Dajing Fengyunlu". She likes to listen to stories, and she can learn history by the way by watching "Dajing Fengyunlu", how convenient it is. Daddy had told her about this book, and she loved it. Although my father is not here at the moment, there is no uncle here. She looked at Huang Xiu and smiled.

Huang Xiu helped her take it out and said in surprise: "Can you understand this?" ”

Li Hanyao said calmly: "Look slowly." I heard the story of the four spirits of Dajing, but it sounded good, they were all recorded in this book. ”

Huang Xiu: "......"

Can you understand it by looking at it slowly?

Soon, he knew what was going on.

Li Hanyao asked him how to pronounce this word for a while, asked him what this passage meant, and asked questions for a while......

Huang Xiu should have been impatient, he was indeed impatient and disgusted, but he didn't drive Li Hanyao out, because Li Hanyao's question was not shallow and ridiculous, it was either to the point, or unbelievable...... Huang Xiu saw Li Hanyao's qualifications against the sky, and watched the little girl steal knowledge from him like a thief, or blatantly steal. What is incommensurate with this anti-heaven qualification is that the little girl writes ugly words, which is really ugly.

Huang Xiu thought: It's a pity, you can ask people at any time to recognize words, how can you write well without anyone to teach you how to write well?

He asked Li Hanyao why he loved reading so much.

He thought that Li Hanyao would say a big truth, but who knew that Li Hanyao said seriously: "I can recognize words, I can write and calculate, and I will be a shopkeeper in the future." ”

She wasn't lying.

The Li family has a lot of family business waiting for her to inherit.

Huang Xiu: "......"

Eight days later, Li Hanyao left Banqiao Village.

Because she saw that it was impossible for this Huang Xiu to accept her as a disciple, and it would be in vain to spend any more time, so let's withdraw first.

That's not to say she's giving up halfway.

She won't give up on what she believes.

Isn't there an idiom called "want to get away with it"? She is now using "Desire to Capture and Indulge", withdraw this year first, and come back next year! After studying for three or five years, he has no name of master and apprentice, and he has the reality of master and apprentice, and he can't rely on it if he wants to.

Huang Xiu was a little disappointed when he saw the little girl leave without warning, but he soon returned to his usual peaceful secluded life.

Accept disciples?

Didn't think about it.

No matter how smart he was, he would not accept a woman as a disciple.

In the spring of the second year, Li Hanyao came again.

This time she stayed in Banqiao Village for 10 days.

In the summer of the third year, Li Hanyao came to Banqiao Village again.

This time I stayed for fifteen days.

In the fall of the fourth year, come again......

Huang Xiu saw the terrifying growth speed of the little girl and the qualifications of the demon, from the beginning of being idle and having nothing to pass the time, to finally looking forward to the little girl every year, from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, experienced inhuman psychological suffering, and finally did not make up his mind to accept the apprentice.

He comforted himself: "Why stick to the position of master and apprentice? After teaching for so many years, there is no name of master and apprentice, and there is also the reality of master and apprentice. That's good. If you really accept her, but you can't change her fate, it will make her sad. After all, she can't enter the imperial examination like a man, and she will get married in two years. ”

Li Hanyao has worked hard all these years and has not impressed Huang Xiu, and she has given up in her heart. She thought, "Why do you have to apprentice? He has taught me all these years, and I don't have the name of master and apprentice, but I have the reality of master and apprentice. I should be satisfied. I apprenticed to a teacher for the sake of learning, and since he was willing to teach me, I learned. If you are obsessed with the status of master and apprentice, it seems that you are coming for his fame and status, and your intentions are not pure. ”

When I think about it, I am relieved.
