Sure enough, when the eighth master heard this, he immediately agreed.

"It was my negligence, I should have thought of it a long time ago." The eighth master was still a little guilty, and said, "The master will tell Chen Guo tomorrow and ask him to call Xiao Xuzi over." Though you call, you need not have any scruples. ”

"I didn't want to bother him. But Wu Youcai asked around, and he really couldn't read the script in this house. Mao Tongtong said.

"It's okay, he's idle in the front yard. Just a little bit of a role. "The eighth master said.

Since the eighth master said so, Mao Tongtong was naturally no longer hypocritical, so the matter of Xiao Xuzi coming to Yile Yuan was decided.

Early in the morning of the second day, the eighth master told Chen Guo.

Chen Guo was still a little surprised, or his cognition of the eighth master's pet Mao Tongtong was refreshed again!

Xiao Xuzi is a slave in the front yard, Mao Fang Fujin actually hit Xiao Xuzi with the idea, Beile Ye didn't say that he was angry, but there was a kind of appearance of sending it to Yile Yuan on the pole, which was really unexpected.

If this is known to the main courtyard, I'm afraid I will be so angry that I will smoke again!

Chen Guo didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to talk to Xiao Xuzi.

"Master, you're not making fun of your apprentices, are you?" Xiao Xuzi didn't believe it.

"Little bunny! When your master is idle! Chen Guo slapped Xiao Xuzi on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile: "Silly boy, your chance has come!" Why don't you hurry up and go to Yile Yuan to find a report from Mao Fang Fujin? ”

"Really let me go?" Xiao Xuzi's eyes widened. As soon as his head turned, he knew it was an opportunity. But because I knew, I couldn't believe that there was a pie in the sky.

"It seems that your kid insisted on reading and reading back then, and he recognized it correctly!" Chen Guo sighed: "I originally said that I would ask you to learn to serve by Lord Belle in two years. Now there are other opportunities. You're in luck! ”

Xiao Xuzi didn't believe that such a good thing really fell on his head until this meeting.

"Master, is this the apprentice?" Xiao Xuzi asked again.

"Go ahead! Be smart, don't lose your master's face! Chen Guo said with a smile.

"Don't worry, master! I will definitely satisfy Fang Fujin! Xiao Xuzi laughed.

After Chen Guo finished speaking, he was busy with himself, Xiao Xuzi tidied up his clothes, and then went to Yile Yuan with a little apprehension and excitement.

Speaking of which, Xiao Xuzi is no stranger to Yile Garden. Although he rarely came to Yile Yuan as a slave in the front yard, he had helped Yile Yuan deliver letters to the eighth master several times.

When I arrived at the gate of Yile Garden, I saw Wu Youcai waiting at the gate of the courtyard!

"Father-in-law Xu is here." Wu Youcai smiled.

"Ouch, Gonggong Wu came to pick it up in person, I'm really flattered." Xiao Xuzi also hurriedly smiled.

Although he will only be borrowed from Yile Yuan, Wu Youcai is the eunuch supervisor of Yile Yuan, and it is necessary to have a good relationship.

"Father-in-law, don't say that, you can come to solve our urgent need." Wu Youcai welcomed Xiao Xuzi into the house, and said as he walked: "Our master looked around yesterday, and his father-in-law is competent for this." ”

"Coincidentally, coincidentally." Xiao Xuzi said with a smile.

After entering the house, Mao Tongtong leaned on the bed, and when Xiao Xuzi saluted, he said, "This matter is up to my father-in-law." Every day, half an hour each comes to read the book to me. If the front yard is busy, the father-in-law just said. I'll be fine if I don't come here for a few days. ”

"Mao side Fujin is polite. Lord Belle said that the minions are now focusing on serving the side Fujin, and someone will take over the affairs of the front yard. Side Fu Jin despite the command. Xiao Xuzi said busily.

Mao Tongtong nodded and said to Wu Youcai: "You go and pour a glass of water for Father-in-law Xu to moisten his throat." ”

"Yes, the minion will go." Wu has a way of wealth.

Xiao Xuzi hurriedly thanked him again.

After drinking water, Xiao Xuzi began.

Mao Tongtong saw that he was in no hurry to start when he got the book, but first looked through it, and then silently tried to read a short paragraph by himself, and then started, so he nodded secretly.

Although it sounds simple, it seems like you can read and write. But as I said earlier, there is no punctuation in ancient texts, and you have to break the sentence yourself, and if you don't get it right, you will read the meaning poorly. Xiao Xuzi was not in a hurry to perform, but first familiarized himself with the situation and grasped the rhythm, which shows that he is a calm person.

No wonder Chen Guo chose him as an apprentice, he is so good, he must choose a clever and careful one.

"The slave will read a paragraph to Fang Fujin first, do you think this speed is okay? If you are not satisfied, the minion will adjust again. Xiao Xu Zi said.

"Okay, father-in-law, let's get started." Mao Tongtong nodded.

Xiao Xuzi's speech speed is not fast, and he also uses different tones for different characters, which is a bit of a storytelling. After reading a short paragraph, he put down the book and said with some embarrassment: "The slave is the first time to read the book, can you still get used to listening to it?" ”

Xiao Xuzi is just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. For Mao Tongtong, the soul of the two worlds, he is a child. Now seeing that he is nervous and a little shy, he can't help but encourage: "It's good to be able to read it like this for the first time." It would be nice to speak a little faster. ”

"Okay, minion try again." Xiao Xuzi's face was slightly red.

Half an hour passed quickly. Xiao Xuzi didn't stop, Mao Tongtong also listened to it with relish, or Qingzhu reminded him whether it was time for Xiao Xuzi to take a sip of tea, and Mao Tongtong came back to his senses.

"It's really good, listening to people and seeing it yourself are really two different feelings. Father-in-law Xu has a talent for storytelling! ”

"Don't dare to praise Fujin in front of you." Although Xiao Xuzi's mouth was dry, his face was a little excited. He didn't expect to be recognized by Mao Tongtong so smoothly.

"Good is good, don't be modest." Mao Tongtong said with a smile: "In the future, if your mouth is dry when you read, drink water by yourself, don't be embarrassed." I forgot to let you rest. ”

"It's good that Fang Fujin is satisfied. The minions are fine. Xiao Xu Zi said.

"That's not going to work. If your voice is bad, how can you continue to read to me? When it's time to rest, you have to rest. Mao Tongtong said: "You can go back and rest now, and you will come according to the time in the afternoon." ”

"Yes, the minion made a note of it." Xiao Xu Zi responded, thought about it, and said, "Can the slave bring this book back?" If you can familiarize yourself with it first, the minions can read it better. ”

"Okay, you can take it back." Mao Tongtong nodded.

Xiao Xuzi took the book and retired.

"The master seems to be very satisfied with Father-in-law Xu." Qingzhu served bird's nest soup to Mao Tongtong.

"Well, pretty clever lad. I'm a talent. Mao Tongtong said.

"The slave is very happy to see Father-in-law Xu." Seedlings Road.

"When I get out of confinement, give him a heavy reward." Mao Tongtong said.

"Doesn't the master plan to keep him in Yile Garden?" Qingzhu asked.

"Stay? I'm afraid it's not quite right. I already have two in this courtyard, Xiao Wuzi and Xiao Quanzi. Mao Tongtong said.
