"Your Highness, the minister really can't think of an answer."

"It's a question of who asked?"

"Yes...... Xia Yan girl. ”

Xu Changping really didn't want to say this name, he was afraid that Mu Fan would know the cause and effect, and refused to let him take her as an apprentice. But at this time, I can't care so much.

"Why is she asking you that?" As soon as he heard Xia Yan's name, Mu Fan suddenly came to his senses.

"Today's minister and David Liang ......"

After listening to Xu Changping's speech, Mu Fan showed an imperceptible smile on his lips, and sure enough, everything related to her was so interesting.

"Your Highness!" Xu Changping saw that Mu Fan was silent, thinking that he was quite unhappy that he wanted to accept Xia Yan as an apprentice, so he immediately knelt down and explained, "The minister has no other intentions, just Xia Yan's qualifications."

Excellent, the minister has a heart of love. If His Highness is unwilling, the minister will extinguish this thought. ”

"No, you're doing a good job." Mu Fan got up and left, leaving a sentence leisurely, "I order you to come up with an answer as soon as possible and take her as an apprentice." ”

Xu Changping looked confused, he thought that His Royal Highness took Miss Xia Yan very seriously, and he would definitely not let her easily apprentice to someone as a teacher, how could he agree today?

His Royal Highness is really getting more and more incomprehensible.

Xu Changping, who had not slept all night being tormented by chickens or eggs, had just squinted for a while before being woken up by Xia Yan with a smile on his face.

Xu Changping saw Xia Yan standing beside his bed with a basket and a smile, thinking that he was enchanted and could see her even in a dream.

"You go away, let me be quiet and quiet, and I won't let people live in peace if I dream."

"Mr. Xu, you're not dreaming." Xia Yan looked at him with a smile, "The chicken or the egg came first, have you figured it out?" ”

"Ahhhhh......h

The people working outside the house listened to this miserable howl, and they all looked at Xu Changping's house with puzzled expressions.

Mr. Xu is afraid that he is crazy, it is really good, the prince and master back then were tortured and crazy by a question without an answer.

Yes, everyone, after thinking about it all night, agreed that there was no answer to this question at all, and they had completely given up thinking.

These irrelevant people can give up at will, but Xu Changping cannot.

Not to mention that Mu Fan gave the order, even he himself really wanted to find out the answer and accept Xia Yan as an apprentice.

"Mr. Xu, what's wrong with you, you're so haggard." Xia Yan looked at the unkempt Xu Changping with a wicked smile, "Still haven't come up with an answer?" ”

"You...... Don't push me, I'm ...... I'll figure it out. At this time, Xu Changping was completely sober, and he suddenly felt a sense of remorse in his heart, and he wanted to accept this child as vain

Okay?

I won't lose my life.

"Don't be so nervous." Xia Yan smiled demonically, "I'm here to tell you the answer." ”

Xu Changping looked at her, his heart was clear, and asked, "What are the conditions?" ”

"Sir is really a smart person, and it's not a big deal, I just hope that Sir can let my brother and Mu Gongzi take class together."

Xia Huai had already reached the age when he should go to private school, but he was delayed because the family had no money, but fortunately, Yan's literacy, at least he didn't let the two children fall illiterate.

Xia Yan found that these people who came back with Mu Fan were not ordinary, especially this Mr. Xu, who was full of bookishness, and compared with ordinary Mr. Teaching, it was like a bonfire

The stars and the moon are average, and there is a big difference.

Since you want to learn, you naturally have to find the best teacher.

In this way, Xia Yan hit Xu Changping with his idea.

"Yes, the old man agreed."

This is really not a big deal for Xu Changping.

Since Xia Huai has worshiped David Liang as his teacher, he naturally wants to practice martial arts with His Highness, so by the way, even learning Wen together can be regarded as finding a companion for His Highness.

"Thank you, sir, then."

"What's coming first, tell me quickly." Xu Changping couldn't wait to know the answer, he was already tormented by this question and was about to go crazy.

"The eggs came first."

"Who laid the eggs?"

"Quail, Duck, Goose, ......"

"Isn't it an egg?"

"I didn't say it was an egg, I said an egg."

Xu Changping was blocked and didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to ask: "Where did the chicken come from?" ”

"The eggs hatched, but the chickens were not chickens, and the eggs were not eggs."

"What's that?"

"It's evolution."

Xu Changping, who didn't understand what evolution meant, lowered his head and thought, but listened to Xia Yan take a deep breath and said: "The evolution of species is gradually changing, just like people grow taller, and the days are gone

There is a past, and the pawn can see its strengths. Eggs don't come out overnight, chickens don't fall from the world, eggs don't hatch chickens, and chickens don't lay eggs.

Chickens and eggs have existed for a long time, but at that time chickens were not called chickens, and the eggs it laid were not called eggs. ”

Xia Yan took a deep breath: "Understood? ”

Xu Changping nodded confusedly and shook his head again.

She said so much, but why didn't she understand a word.

It wouldn't be a shame to tell him that he didn't understand, but he really didn't.

Just when Xu Changping was melancholy, he saw Xia Yan pick up a steaming cup from the basket, walked up to him with a smile and knelt down and said, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice."

One bow. ”

"Huh?" Xu Changping didn't react for a while, looking at the cup in front of him and not knowing what to do.

"Doesn't Master want to take me as an apprentice?"

"Yes, of course, but I don't think I can teach you anything anymore."

"Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, hidden weapons, light skills, archery, and the art of war, Master, you can learn whatever you teach."

"Is that true?" Xu Changping looked at Xia Yan's sly smile, a little incredulous, how to think that this apprentice was not easy to deal with.

"Of course, Master, please have tea."

In Xia Yan's expectant gaze, Xu Changping drank the cup of apprenticeship tea, and many years later, when he recalled today, he regretted it, this was simply the stupidest decision he had ever made in his life

Decide.

But at this time, he was still immersed in the warmth brought to him by that cup of tea, sweet and sour, and he was comfortable when he drank it, as if he had driven away all the fatigue of his sleepless night.

"What kind of tea is this?"

"The orange tea made by Yan'er herself, how about it, it's delicious."

"So this is tangerine tea, only this one cup?"

"Of course not, Yan'er made a pot for you, Master." Xia Yan took out a beautiful teapot from the basket and put it on the table, "Master, you drink slowly, Yan'er will go and give the wheat first."

Watered and come back tomorrow. ”

Xu Changping looked at the pot of tea on the table, thoughtful.

Immediately, he freshened up, picked up the teapot and walked towards Mu Fan's house.

"Your Highness, Miss Xia Yan has just worshipped her ministers as a teacher."

"Oh? Have you figured out the answer? ”

"No, it was Miss Xia Yan who took the initiative to tell the minister."

"Tell me about it."

"She said this is evolutionary ......" Xu Changping retold Xia Yan's words as they were, and stared at Mu Fan's face tightly, wanting to see how he reacted.

But Mu Fan lived up to his expectations.

After listening to the answer, Mu Fan hummed expressionlessly, looked at the teapot in Xu Changping's hand and asked, "What are you doing with a teapot in your arms?" ”

"This is the orange tea made by Miss Xia Yan herself." Xu Changping put the teapot next to Mu Fan, "Didn't Your Highness say that you only drink what she brewed?" ”

"She soaked it for me?"

"This ......" Xu Changping is really entangled, what should he say, if he says that this is the apprenticeship tea made for him, His Royal Highness will definitely be angry, forget it, just hide it from him this time, "Yes."

, specially brewed for you, said to let you try it. ”

Mu Fan's face was still unwavering, and he waved his hand and said, "Well, stand down." ”

When Xu Changping went out, Mu Fan hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured a cup, and took a sip.

Well, it's so delicious, it's worthy of Ayanpao.

Ah Yan is so smart, and even I can't understand the answer.

Mu Fan laughed happily, only such a woman can be worthy of me Mu Bufan, I really want to accompany her all the time, but it's a pity......

When Xia Yan was watering in the wheat field, he saw a small figure wandering around the edge of the field from a distance, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Xia Ling'er, Xia Xinchao's youngest daughter.

What is this kid doing here?

She put down the kettle in her hand and walked towards Xia Ling'er suspiciously.

Xia Ling'er combed a pair of pigtails, a pair of clear and translucent big eyes, long eyelashes flickering, against the background of snow-white skin, extremely cute.

Seeing Xia Yan coming, Xia Ling'er hurriedly hid behind a big tree, only quietly revealing one eye, looking at Xia Yan innocently.

"Yan'er, what's wrong?"

was asked by Xia Yan, Xia Ling'er seemed to be about to cry, and said aggrievedly: "My sister hasn't come to play with Ling'er for a long time, Ling'er wants to play with her sister, but her mother and grandmother won't let her."

。 They said that my sister had become a madman and would eat Ling'er. Woo woo woo woo ~ "

As she spoke, the little girl burst into tears.

Xia Yan was at a loss, she had no experience in coaxing children at all, not to mention that Xia Ling'er was only three years old and still a milk doll, what could I do.

"Ling'er don't cry, my sister will take you to eat something delicious, okay?" She learned the method of coaxing children that she had seen on TV before, and beckoned to Xia Ling'er, "Come on, sister's house."

There's a lot of good food in it. ”

"Sister, are you really not going to eat Ling'er?" The little girl grabbed the trunk of the tree and hesitated.

"Really, come, sister will hook up with you."

Xia Ling'er cautiously came to Xia Yan's side, stretched out her little finger and hooked it to Xia Yan's hand: "The hook is not allowed to change for a hundred years." ”

As if a sacred ritual had been carried out, Xia Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, regained her cute smiling face, and took Xia Yan's hand and walked towards Xia Yan's house.

"Second aunt is good." Seeing Yan's, Xia Ling'er said hello sweetly.

She took a look in the courtyard and asked curiously, "Why did my sister move here, Ling'er went to my sister's previous house, but no one was there." Ling'er doesn't like her sister right now

It's a home, it's so broken. ”

Xia Ling'er's words hit Xia Yan and Yan's hearts, but they couldn't care about it.

And Xia Yan didn't want to involve a three-year-old child in the grievances of the two families, so she could only answer with a smile: "The previous courtyard sister is tired of living and wants to change the environment." ”
