Chapter 131 No ordinary person is as clever as her. ...

Even the scholar Ming noticed it, and looked at Ming Er's handwriting with great surprise.

"Did you write this?"

“Yes, Madam,” Ming Er nodded.

Upon hearing this, Ming Xiucai picked up Ming Er's calligraphy again and examined it carefully. At such a young age, it was truly remarkable that he could write such beautiful characters.

She heard that Mingzhuo taught his younger sister Ming'er to read and write at home. She knew Mingzhuo's handwriting well, and with Mingzhuo's abilities, it was impossible for him to teach Ming'er to write so beautifully.

However, I have never heard of Ming Er learning to write with others.

"Ming Er, did you practice writing these characters yourself?"

Ming Er looked somewhat troubled, and after hesitating for a while, he finally spoke, "I suppose so."

The Ninth ...

Ming Er hesitated for a while, thinking that although Ninth Sister had taught her, it was the result of her own practice at home, so it seemed that it was okay to say that she practiced the calligraphy herself.

Looking up at the questioning gaze of the female tutor, Ming Er nodded.

This made Ming Xiucai even more curious about Ming Er, and he asked Ming Er how his studies were going at home.

Ming Er naturally remembered what her sister had taught her at home, as the nine female teachers had also taught her. After a little recollection, she remembered it all.

Ming Xiucai put down his book and asked Ming Er how far she had progressed. Hearing that she could recite several articles from memory, Ming Xiucai's expression turned serious.

He chose an article, put his hands behind his back, and said, "In that case, Ming Er, you can recite this article to me."

“Yes, Madam Tutor,” Ming Er replied respectfully.

She remembered those articles clearly and could recite the one written by the female tutor Ming Nu as soon as she opened her mouth.

Ming Xiucai nodded repeatedly as he listened, then stopped Ming Er and selected a passage from the text, asking Ming Er to continue reciting it.

While listening, Ming Xiucai closed her eyes slightly, and she recited along with Ming Er.

Not a single word is wrong.

She actually memorized all of Ming'er's words; this child is incredibly talented.

Although he was excited, Ming Xiucai calmed down and gave Ming Er a few questions to test him.

Listening to Ming Er's insights, even Ming Xiucai felt a sense of enlightenment.

The light in Ming Er's eyes grew even brighter.

After asking her a few questions, I learned that Ming'er had a good memory, so I found an article that she hadn't studied before, had her read it twice, and then asked Ming'er to memorize it.

Ming Er quickly glanced through the book, then closed it and returned it to Ming Xiucai before starting to memorize it.

Ming Xiucai could recite the contents of the book word for word, but when he heard Ming Er recite it, he was still shocked.

Ming Xiucai never expected that he would have a genius on his team who could remember everything he saw.

She believed that given time, Ming Er would definitely pass the imperial examination.

The system bounced on Xiang Bei's shoulder, "Look, look, host, these are the students I taught. They are smart and quick-witted. No one dislikes students like these."

Xiang Bei raised her hand and flicked the system off her shoulder. Ming Er is the female lead, after all. Just because she changed her name doesn't mean her identity as the female lead will disappear.

She is the absolute protagonist of this world.

Of course, we can't ignore Tongzi's efforts. Xiang Bei thinks that Tongzi is a really good teacher.

“Tong, I think you should start teaching classes. You are really suited to be a teacher. You can share your teaching experience with others.”

"Really?

The system suddenly felt embarrassed by the praise from its host.

“Of course it’s true.” Xiang Bei nodded, then changed the subject, “Of course, it was also very hard for me to discover your ability. It would be even better if you could give me some extra compensation for my hard work.”

System: "..." It knew the host wasn't being kind enough to praise it.

Ming Er's performance was so outstanding that Ming Xiucai began to look at her differently.

In Mingjia Village, almost everyone shares the same surname and is related by blood. What comes out of Ming Xiucai's mouth reaches the ears of the students in the school, who then go back and tell their families.

Ming Er's performance quickly spread throughout the entire village.

No one expected that Ming Er would actually be a child prodigy.

More people started walking around the village near Ming's house, all coming to see Ming Er, the child prodigy.

Hearing that even the scholar Ming praised Ming Er, Ming Sheng, as the grandfather, was overjoyed.

When asked how Ming Er became like this, Ming Sheng shamelessly said it was her birth, while secretly planning to apologize to the gods and ask them not to blame her for talking nonsense.

The villagers didn't believe it. They knew exactly what Ming Er was like before, and they never thought anyone could be so smart.

But you can't get anything out of Mingsheng at all.

They then asked other members of the Ming family, and the answer they received was that Ming Er was born that smart.

The villagers had no choice but to return home with regret. If Ming'er had really suddenly become smarter, perhaps they could have their children learn from him.

In the school, Scholar Ming also attached great importance to Ming Er.

Scholar Ming wanted to give Ming Er a formal name, but the nickname Ming Er would suffice.

Ming Xiucai didn't find the Ming family's naming method strange. Everyone in the village named themselves this way, and they would only think of giving themselves a formal name when they got married and started a family.

“Madam, I have a formal name, my name is Mingyang.”

Ming Er was often called Ming Er, and almost forgot her real name. Even when her grandfather sent her to school, he didn't remember her real name.

She only remembered when the female tutor mentioned choosing a formal name.

She doesn't mind being called Mingyang or Minger; it's her name no matter what, and she's content as long as she knows it's her name.

Ming Xiucai looked at Ming Er and immediately smiled, nodding, "Ming Yang, that's a really good name."

Ming Er laughed sheepishly. The name was chosen by the female tutor herself, meaning she had given herself a nice-sounding name.

However, these are things that are not easy for the female tutor to say clearly.

After learning about Ming Er's abilities, Ming Xiucai clearly started paying more attention to him.

After several tests, she finally confirmed that Ming Er truly had a photographic memory.

Moreover, their understanding of the issues raised in the article is much deeper than that of other students.

This discovery was a wonderful surprise to her.

They were all children of the same family, and Ming Xiucai was very happy that the Ming children were so successful. Naturally, she was not stingy in imparting her knowledge to Ming Yang.

If she, Riming, were to become the top scholar in the imperial examination, she, as the female tutor, would also benefit from the honor.

Ming Er attended school during the day and received lessons from the system at night. After practicing horse stance for a period of time, her physical foundation met the system's requirements, and the system began to teach her martial arts.

Learning too much is also not good, as Xiang Bei is afraid that Ming Er will exhaust herself, so she has to help her take care of her health regularly.

Ming Er can read now, and she can recognize all the comments when Xiang Bei sends them.

Ming Er herself was also very happy, feeling that she could see Ms. Xiang at any time.

Xiang Bei would also ask Ming Er if he was having a hard time, and Ming Er's eyes would always sparkle.

She didn't feel tired at all and actually liked the feeling.

The more books Ming'er read, the more he longed to see the world outside.

She knew in her heart that a frail student couldn't accomplish much on his own. So she worked extremely hard in learning martial arts.

As long as you have enough ability to protect yourself, you can let her see more different places.

Just like when I went to the county town last time, it was really big and beautiful.

There were also many, many things she had never seen before.

Now, Azu goes to town to sell cold noodles, and every time she comes back, she brings back roast chicken for herself. All of this is thanks to the female cook; Azu always tells her to listen to the gods.

During this period, Ming Er grew very fast, almost catching up with his older sister Ming Zhuo's height.

Although the eldest sister also ate chicken legs, she didn't grow as fast as I did because Ming Er also had a large appetite.

Ming Sheng saw this and knew that the immortal had taught Ming Er martial arts again. He asked a few questions about the situation, then turned around and went up the mountain. When he returned, he handed Ming Er a small wooden sword.

"Once you've mastered your skills, your grandfather will forge you a real sword. After that, you can choose to take the civil service exam or the martial arts exam, whichever you prefer."

"Really? Then I want to take both exams." Ming Er said with a grin.

Old Man Ming was quite pleased to hear this, thinking his granddaughter was promising and ambitious. In the entire Ming family village, there wasn't a child more capable than his granddaughter.

"Then you'd better practice hard. Becoming the top scholar in both the civil and military examinations isn't easy," Mingsheng also advised.

Mingsheng thought that her second son and his wife's cold noodles business had been quite stable recently. After a few days, some familiar people would come to buy them, so she didn't need to keep an eye on it.

The townspeople do indeed prefer savory food, though some like sweet food, so they tend to stock less sweet items.

When she went with them, she had already established good relationships with the surrounding vendors. The second son and his wife were honest and simple people, and with someone helping them, she didn't have to worry.

I occasionally go to town and give some things to the people around me, and they are still willing to help me.

Anyway, from what she could see, business was really good.

This jelly isn't a secret. If you're really good at it, you can figure it out while eating it. Just these past two days, someone has started selling the same thing as them.

However, because the second son's husband is a good cook, quite a few customers are still willing to eat at their restaurant.

Mingsheng often went to town to sell things. When he was young, he would even go to the county town to earn more money. He was a very knowledgeable person.

She plans to have her second son figure out how to make liangpi (cold skin noodles) in the next couple of days. They'll sell it for a while longer until they've made enough to cover their costs, then they'll go sell it in the county town.

There are a lot of people over there, so I can make some money.

Looking at Ming Er, who had changed the most in the family, Ming Sheng thought it would be best to move to the county town.

It's not that Ming Xiucai taught poorly; Ming Er was taught by a god, and Ming Xiucai simply can't compare.

Now their family is quite famous in the village. Mingsheng is worried that the fact that they were chosen by the gods will be exposed, so he thinks that moving to the county town would be the best option.

If all else fails, moving to the town would be fine too.

However, Ming Sheng doesn't plan to reveal it yet; she'll wait until her plans are realized before saying anything.

It just so happens that the eldest sister recently found a job as an accountant in town. The shopkeeper thought her unique bookkeeping method was very good, but he could only hire one person. Both of them demonstrated their skills, and the shopkeeper kept the eldest sister.

In the future, when the eldest and second eldest are in town, the sisters can look after each other.

As for the third sister, she's doing quite well in her studies, but the eldest sister is a bit better than her.

Mingsheng glanced at his dejected third daughter and said a few words of comfort, "Alright, don't be so downcast. Go back to the county town and take a look. It's much bigger than the town. You'll definitely be able to find it there."

Upon hearing this, Mingli immediately perked up. She also felt that someone as smart as her might be more suited to developing her career in the county town.

Most people aren't as smart as her.

Mingsheng didn't say much. It was true that she could find someone in the county, but whether or not they would accept the third child depended on her own abilities.

As her mother, she couldn't offer much help in this kind of situation.

Mingsheng is very satisfied with the fact that his family's life is getting better and better.

When Ming Er was practicing martial arts, she used too much force when swinging her sword, and the small wooden sword would often break. So Ming Sheng made her more than a dozen swords at once so she could play with them to her heart's content.

The Ming family suddenly grew so big. First, a child prodigy named Ming Er emerged, and now the eldest son of the Ming family has gone to town to work as an accountant. The second son and his wife have also gone to town to sell something called liangfen (cold jelly).

These kinds of behaviors are naturally very eye-catching in the village. During this period, many people have "passed by" Ming's door and stood at the door looking inside.

Even the village head came over. Going to the town wasn't too complicated, but going to the county seat required her to clear the way.

At first, she thought Mingsheng was going to the county to sell his game, but these past few days, the third son of the Ming family has been going to the county town so frequently that she couldn't help but have some doubts.

Let's not even talk about the couple from the second son of the Ming family. The husband of Ming Yi, the second son of the Ming family, is truly skilled.

It's normal for men to do laundry and cook, but Mingyi is one of the few men in the village who can cook food that people remember fondly.

When someone is holding an event, they specifically invite him to come over. It's normal for him to think about doing business with them. A skill is something that not just anyone can learn.

I once ate the pickled vegetables made by Ming Lao Er's husband. I must say, they tasted better than those made by other men. I tried to make them by following the steps, but I couldn't replicate the flavor.

Now that the eldest son of the Ming family has suddenly become the accountant in town, it's really making everyone envious. Even when the third son of the Ming family goes to the county town again, the village head is getting a little restless.

Speaking of which, she and Mingsheng are actually cousins ​​from different branches of the family. Their mothers are biological cousins, and their grandmothers are sisters.

If you have any connections, don't forget about her.

Even though she was the village head, she still wanted her children to be successful.

"Big sister, if anything good happens, you have to think of us." The village head stuffed the eggs he had brought over into Mingsheng's hand.

Mingsheng naturally knew that the village head had helped her family a lot on a regular basis. Although the people in the village sometimes quarreled, they were decisive when it came to important matters.

I will definitely help her if I can. We share the same surname and even have the same ancestor. I certainly won't let them go unattended.

We just need to think about how to help.

Mingsheng doesn't have the habit of taking on everything, and she won't force herself to help those who are hopeless.

Moreover, since their own family is not yet settled, they naturally can't boast about certain things.

So Mingsheng only gave a slight hint and didn't say much else.
