Chapter 24 Third Brother, I Want to Go to the Countryside

"Even if you are not the third brother's daughter, you still have to learn the rules, etiquette and knowledge." Sang Zhi said seriously.

"Who has as much free time as you?"

"I'm very busy and have to study until very late every day."

“…”

"I heard that you are already six years old. You can't be so lazy." Sang Zhi said.

"What's wrong with being six years old? Why should a little country girl like me learn any rules?" Ye Qianning rolled her eyes. Good and evil are determined by people, and rules cannot teach people's hearts.

Especially some princes and nobles, and royal descendants, who all rely on their status to treat the common people as not human beings.

They are all righteous in public, but evil in secret.

"Learning is for practical use, and has nothing to do with status."

"Have you ever been to the countryside? I'm learning how to greet people and learn etiquette. Who will I show myself to when I get home? I'll be surprised if people don't laugh at me for being crazy."

"you……"

"What do you mean by 'you'? You learn etiquette and rules because you are a noble and have everything you want. Common people learn the ways of survival." Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, Ye Qianning continued, "You don't understand them, and they don't understand your knowledge. We are all in different environments. Just do your best, but there is no reason for you to expect others to be like you."

Sang Zhi stared at her in silence for a while, then lowered his eyes for a while as if thinking about her words.

"Anyway, everyone has their own aspirations. Kids should stop worrying about it, otherwise you will easily become an old man." Ye Qianning sighed.

A ten-year-old child has no innocence at all, and he will undoubtedly become an old man in a few years.

"You are a rotten tree that cannot be carved." Sang Zhi looked up, his little face puffed up with anger.

Ye Qianning was immediately happy when she saw it. She thought the old-fashioned boy was in deep thought, but she didn't expect that he was angry.

This is the expression a child should have.

"Rotten wood can be carved into flowers. Would you like me to carve one for you someday?"

"You... hum." Sang Zhi snorted heavily, put his sleeves behind his back, and turned to leave.

Ye Qianning raised her hand and touched her little nose. The old-fashioned boy still wanted to lecture him. If he did it a few more times, she would eventually lead this old-fashioned boy astray.

Sang Zhi walked all the way back to the yard, thinking about the fat boy's words in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was some truth in it.

"Eighth brother." Sang Yan happened to see him at the gate of the courtyard.

Sang Zhi looked up: "Third brother, why are you here?"

"I heard that you didn't return to the palace, so I came to see you."

"Master Fanghua will stay in the palace for four days. I think it is too troublesome to go out of the palace every day, so I asked my uncle to report to my father. I will return to the palace after Master Fanghua leaves." Sang Zhi said.

"If you are not used to living in the Emperor's uncle's house, you can come to the Third Brother's house."

"Thank you, Third Brother. However, the Emperor's uncle's residence is also very good, Third Brother, you don't have to worry about it. But Third Brother, have you dealt with your affairs?"

Sang Yan thought of the four people and sighed, "I guess so."

"That's good." Sang Zhi nodded.

"You should get some rest early. Third brother will come again tomorrow."

"kindness."

Sang Yan turned around with a heavy heart. When Marquis Xiang Ming returned to the capital, there would be some trouble regarding the child.

After all, whether it is Gu Shuo, Xiang Minghou, or Qian Fanji, they are all influential figures in the imperial capital. If such things were to get out, it would definitely cause a big disaster.

"Third brother."

Zhiyou's steady voice interrupted Sang Yan's thoughts.

Sang Yan had already walked quite far. When he heard the shout, he turned back and looked at the vague black figure: "What's wrong, Eighth Brother?"

In the darkness, Sang Zhi's little face was extremely serious, and his childish voice was very earnest.

"Third brother, I want to go to the countryside."

“…”
