Chapter 18

On the sixth day of April, Mrs. Su, Su Yinyin, who had just returned from the countryside, finally entered the house.

After being away for nearly twenty days, Deputy Envoy Su took a special leave and waited at home.

"Is everything okay at home?"

"All is well." Deputy Envoy Su replied, "Xian'er is still in school and will be back soon."

Deputy Envoy Su said, picking up his daughter and saying, "After being in my hometown for so long, you have lost some weight, haven't you?"

Su Yinyin didn't feel anything.

She ate snacks every day in her hometown, played after waking up, and had eggs from time to time. In the last few days before she left, she even ate wild boar meat. How could she lose weight?

Madam Su came back and the store reopened.

The Cheng and Zhang families can continue to make dim sum, and many old customers come to ask when the restaurant will reopen, as they are looking forward to having dim sum.

When the store reopened, the original three kinds of dim sum were increased to six.

In particular, the newly launched glutinous rice jelly is not only beautiful in color but also tastes good. Once it is displayed, it attracts the attention of countless passers-by.

Glutinous rice jelly comes in five colors, all made from fresh fruit and vegetable juice.

Five different colors of cold cakes are put on display, and everyone passing by will take a second look.

The hawthorn cloud roll cake has a beautiful color.

The open-mouthed pastry looks exquisite.

With three new products on the market, the reopened Hui Nu Dim Sum is even busier than before.

When Yuan Rui came over, he couldn't even reach the front row. Fortunately, Su Yinyin at the counter was standing on a stool and happened to see his friend.

"Yuan Rui!"

Li Ruiyuan's eyes lit up.

He knew that the baby missed him too.

After entering the counter, Li Ruiyuan discovered that the baby seemed to have grown a little taller.

Li Ruiyuan was silent.

He felt sad because he didn't get to see the baby grow taller.

"How have you been recently? Have you been eating well?" Su Yinyin brought the new snacks from the store over, "Try them and see if you like them."

Glutinous rice is difficult to digest, so Su Yinyin cut it into small pieces and let her friends taste it.

It’s still the same as before. I can barely eat a little, but if I eat more I’ll vomit.

Su Yinyin was a little worried.

She always felt that Yuan Rui had grown taller, but he was actually thinner.

How can this be possible?

The look in the baby's eyes made Li Ruiyuan reluctantly eat one more crispy pastry. When he couldn't eat any more, he said, "It's delicious."

Su Yinyin nodded slightly: "I will definitely find the food you like."

This sentence made Li Ruiyuan pause and he hummed in a low voice.

"That's not right. Shouldn't you be in class today?" Su Yinyin suddenly thought.

Li Ruiyuan nodded: "So I'm going back."

The Master is still waiting for him.

"Go now! Come back when you have a day off."

Opportunities to learn are rare.

After her brother went to the new private school, he not only had to go out early and come back late, but also had to do his homework until late at night every day. It was too difficult.

Li Ruiyuan looked back every few steps, and when he saw her waving her hand, he prepared to leave.

He also needs to study hard and help people make more money.

The baby doesn’t have to go to the countryside to learn a craft, and he won’t grow taller without even noticing it.

Before Li Ruiyuan left, the baby's brother came back with red eyes.

What's going on?

Su Yinyin obviously saw it too, and ran over to hug her brother: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Su Xian rubbed his eyes and lowered his head and said, "It's okay."

It can't be okay.

My brother came back crying before school was over yet.

The eleven-year-old tried hard not to cry, but as soon as his sister came over, he couldn't stop crying.

He doesn't want to go to school anymore.

Don't study in this private school.

Madam Su had many guests at her place, so she hadn't noticed her eldest son's abnormality. She just asked curiously, "School is over so early today? Mother hasn't made lunch yet."

Su Xian nodded and took his sister home.

Li Ruiyuan was silent for a moment, and decided to follow him and asked the tutor to wait a little longer. He would definitely make up for the lessons tonight.

The servants hurriedly followed, fearing that something might happen to the little kids.

After returning home, Su Xian was reluctant to say anything at first, but facing his sister's nervous eyes, he said, "It's just a small matter in the private school, no problem."

Private school?

Su Yinyin doesn't know much about her brother's new private school.

I only know that the tuition is very expensive and the teacher is a Jinshi.

What could possibly happen?

Su Yinyin opened her eyes wide. Could it be school bullying?

My brother is a new transfer student, so he was bullied by his classmates!

In fact, it’s almost the same.

Everything was fine when Su Xian first arrived. He wrote good articles and naturally won the teacher's praise.

But when he learned what Su Xian's parents were doing, the teacher's face changed.

A snack vendor.

A small deputy envoy.

Can a family like this study under him?

The teacher received a tuition fee of seven taels of silver this month, but was reluctant to return the money, and only wanted Su Xian to drop out of school voluntarily.

From then on, Su Xian became a thorn in the teacher's side, and the students followed suit and started bullying others.

Su Xian has a calm personality, which is not obvious on weekdays.

Recently, my mother and sister have not been at home, and Deputy Envoy Su also goes out early and comes back late, so I didn't notice it for a while.

I persisted like this for more than 20 days.

To this day, the teacher still criticizes Su Xian's writing and says that he is not suitable for studying at all, let alone taking the imperial examinations.

A good article was changed into a mess by him.

He said a lot of sour words, and also criticized the Su family as being useless.

Su Xian was so angry that he grabbed the book box and left.

He will never come again!

What a shitty private school!

Only when he got near his home did Su Xian calm down. Apart from the slightly red eyes, he showed nothing.

Su Xian only gave a general idea.

But Su Yinyin, Li Ruiyuan, and the servants around them could easily guess the whole process from just a few words.

Su Yinyin was so angry that her eyes turned red: "What kind of teacher is this? A teacher who misleads students! We won't go."

When Su Yinyin thought of the injustice her brother had suffered for more than twenty days, tears instantly fell from her eyes.

When Su Yinyin started crying, Li Ruiyuan, who had been expressionless before, panicked. While wiping her tears, he said in a cold voice, "He is just a Jinshi. Ask him which subject and which list he was in. Don't tell him that he is a top three Jinshi who has never even been an official in his life."

Are there many types of Jinshi?

Su Yinyin knew nothing about this.

Although Su Xian knew a little bit, he only understood that above the scholar was the juren, and above the juren was the jinshi, but he did not understand how to subdivide them.

Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Li Ruiyuan said again: "Give me your homework. I want someone to see how he graded it."

Without waiting for Su Xian to react, Su Yinyin found out all of her brother's recent homework.

She is not stupid!

She can tell that Yuan Rui is definitely rich or noble! She can help look after her brother's homework.

She said that her brother was not suitable for the imperial examinations or for studying.

Doesn’t this undermine people’s self-confidence?

Su Yinyin's eyes were full of trust, which made Li Ruiyuan's ears red. He took the homework solemnly and said, "I'll send it over this afternoon."

After that, Li Ruiyuan wiped the baby's tears again: "Don't be sad, I will help you get revenge."

No one can make a baby cry.

Imperial Palace, Prince's Pavilion.

The tutor drank three cups of tea but still did not see the prince.

"How strange! You're usually diligent, but you haven't gotten up yet today?"

The white-bearded tutor, who was in his sixties, had a very good temper and was especially tolerant towards his only student.

Anyone who teaches such a trouble-free student will be more tolerant.

As he was speaking, the prince came hurriedly over in civilian clothes, and a stack of children's homework was placed in front of the cabinet scholar of the Hanlin Academy, a veteran of three dynasties.

"Master Taifu, please help me see if this homework can be saved."

"Can the person who made the annotation still be saved?"

???

What is this for?

Su Yinyin had no idea to whom her friend showed her brother's homework.

If she knew, she would definitely shout, "A doctoral supervisor is correcting elementary school students' homework?"

Isn’t this a waste of talent?

That afternoon, the servant brought the corrected homework.

It’s just that this time, there is another level of grading in the homework.

The servant said seriously, "Master Su Xian, you can give this lesson to your teacher. He will not say no, so don't worry."

Why?

Su Yinyin leaned over to take a look.

I saw the Jinshi teacher making comments on my brother's homework, but he didn't understand anything.

Another big, vigorous character is written on the comment, and you understand?

The text is irrelevant to the topic.

What a weird title, just trying to show off.

Don’t listen to the saints!

That’s not what the saints say.

The child is ridiculous.

It is not funny to be a fellow Jinshi! It is funny to mislead students!

Su Yinyin's hands were shaking a little, and the difference was obvious when comparing the handwriting above.

My brother is young, so just need to write neatly.

Although the Master's handwriting is good, it is far inferior to the last level of annotations.

My brother's teacher is a narrow-minded person. If he reads these comments, he will probably faint from anger.

That scene must be very interesting.

Li Ruiyuan, who was still studying in the Prince's Pavilion, thought to himself.

He will make anyone who makes Yin Yin cry.
