This name... was chosen quite casually.
Jiang Ruohua pursed her lips. She remembered that when the vassal states of the Daqi Dynasty paid tribute, they could also eat a kind of foreign radish called carrot...
As for the taste, she didn't like it very much. She always felt that it tasted a bit strange. However, her uncle who liked to run around all day liked it very much. He often went to various countries to eat and drink because he could run around.
Carrot looked a little silly. Hu Xingxing herself was still a child. How could she know how to teach a child? At most, the little girl was kind and couldn't bear to let the child wander the streets, so she brought him with her.
"There's nothing wrong with us." Hu Xingxing put her hands on her hips and changed the subject. "Master comes here every night. If there's nothing else, it's best for him to come every night."
"Okay." Jiang Ruhua nodded. She did have some time at night. Fortunately, she didn't have to go to class with her younger sisters at home, so she had enough time to rest.
Seeing her quick agreement, Hu Xingxing opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She was stunned for a while before saying, "He is really strict, especially after you said that before, he will only be stricter to you."
But seeing Jiang Ruohua nod calmly, Hu Xingxing couldn't help but frown and complain in her heart. This young lady really has a strange temper. She usually looks at the rich young ladies coming and going on the prosperous streets from a distance. They are all very beautiful and precious. Not only do they never touch women, but they are also thin-skinned and want to save face. They will kill themselves if they are insulted.
Before hitting me, not to mention other places, just in this small unattended place in the capital, there are girls who come to learn from their master in order to make a living, but they all end up being scolded by their master.
Hu Xingxing was somewhat proud. She was shameless at the time. After all, she was about to die of hunger. Xu Weiqing was holding food in his hand. No matter how badly he scolded her, she accepted the meal. Everything in this world has a price. If you steal, you might be beaten and sent to the authorities. And Xu Weiqing would just scold you all day long.
"Have you really thought it through?" Hu Xingxing asked Jiang Ruohua tentatively. She just couldn't figure it out and was a little unconvinced. From her point of view, why did Jiang Ruohua have to suffer this?
Those rich ladies, who had no worries about food and clothing, looked down on the vulgar people who practiced martial arts. As a descendant of a general, it made sense for Jiang Ruohua to practice martial arts as a hobby. It was not like her, which was related to life and death. Where in the world would there be a girl who would fight so hard?
Even more cruel than her, Hu Xingxing felt a little unwilling.
Obviously, there was a decent upper-class life waiting for Jiang Ruohua, but she came here to find a master who everyone avoided to become his disciple.
"Well, I will come on time tomorrow." Jiang Ruohua saw the unwillingness in Hu Xingxing's eyes, but she didn't intend to explain anything. It was her own business, how could she let outsiders know easily?
Hu Xingxing muttered softly, and no one heard what she said clearly. Seeing this, Jiang Ruohua couldn't help but smile: "Senior Sister Hu, don't you want me to become your disciple?"
Just tease her.
As soon as the words fell, Hu Xingxing's expression tensed up. She pretended to be nonchalant, but in fact, her expression was fully revealed on her face. She looked away slightly and said, "No, when did I say these things? Please, miss, what are you thinking?"
"Then we will be together every day from now on." Jiang Ruohua smiled at her, "Senior sister will definitely welcome me, right?"
Hu Xingxing choked. She didn't like Jiang Ruohua very much, but she didn't seem to hate her either. She was just a little unwilling to be bothered by Jiang Ruohua's strength, but she seemed a little unhappy to welcome Jiang Ruohua with a smile.
All her worries were written on her face. Jiang Ruohua was looking at Hu Xingxing's tangled little look with satisfaction, thinking about what gift to bring to this little senior sister tomorrow?
"It's late at night, Junior Sister Jiang, please go home early." Ah Yao suddenly spoke up, and relieved Hu Xingxing's embarrassment, "Since Junior Sister Jiang has passed the master's assessment, Junior Sister Hu and I will naturally not refuse to welcome her. See you tomorrow."
Jiang Ruhua was not annoyed. She was just joking with Hu Xingxing on purpose. Ah Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll take my leave. Senior Brother Ah Yao, Senior Sister Hu, see you tomorrow." After
she left, Hu Xingxing realized belatedly and said, "Senior Brother, is she teasing me? She has clearly made up her mind to come, and she has to ask me these questions?"
Ah Yao was wearing a mask so no expression could be seen, but his eyes clearly revealed his helplessness of why he only realized it now.
"Master will definitely test your martial arts tomorrow." Ah Yao didn't say anything, "If you are always outdone by Miss Jiang, you should think about this carefully in the future."
This hit Hu Xingxing's sore spot, and she immediately became very angry. If she was outdone by Jiang Ruohua every day, Master would definitely punish her!
Damn it! Hu Xingxing was very reluctant to strengthen her training, and she complained with tears in her eyes. It turned out that the young ladies of rich families were very cunning. After beating her up, they still wanted to tease her. She had to surpass Jiang Ruohua!
Wuwuwu, I'm so tired!
Jiang Ruohua was in a good mood when she returned. She had dealt with Xu Weiqing, and the two fellow students were not difficult to get along with. Hu Xingxing was simple and innocent. Although Ah Yao looked mysterious, he had no ill will towards her. They were both people she could make friends with.
With the dream as a warning, Jiang Ruohua took it as a warning and naturally would not let herself be trapped in loneliness again. Making friends from all walks of life was also part of her goal. As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths, and more paths mean more solutions.
At this time, if she acted self-righteously and put herself on a high pedestal, everyone would stay away from her. Jiang Ruohua did not intend to do that.
On the way back, she touched her chin and looked at Hu Xingxing. Should she bring some delicious food to feed her tomorrow?
It seemed like it would be fun.
Grandpa Gao remained silent all the way and returned to Grandpa Gao's house first. Jiang Ruohua bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for accompanying me on this trip today, Grandpa Gao."
"You are too polite, Miss. This is my duty." Grandpa Gao hurriedly said, "As long as Miss has considered it, I am willing to do anything."
But he raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Ruohua again, and Grandpa Gao couldn't help sighing.
"What is Master Gao worried about?" Seeing him like this, Jiang Ruohua roughly guessed something in her heart, "I won't delve into Master's affairs."
Master Gao heard her say this and immediately understood what Jiang Ruohua had guessed. He sighed and said, "In fact, I don't know everything about that matter. Miss, it's best if you can understand it. I just want to say that since the matter is deliberately kept secret, the fewer people who know about it, the better. I'm sorry that I can't say anything more."
