Chapter 163
On the second floor of the inn, Xiao Yanqing was carefully counting the oil-paper umbrellas.
"33, 34, 35..."
As he counted, his gaze was drawn to an oil-paper umbrella. The umbrella was no different from the others. He heard someone downstairs call out to the man, "Master Shen."
The scholar stopped and exchanged a few pleasantries with the person next to him before heading towards the pastry shop across the street.
Xiao Yanqing was very curious about Master Shen, so he followed his gaze. Because Master Shen was holding an umbrella, he could not see the other person's appearance, but could only see the green hem of the other person's clothes and his thin figure.
"He really is a teacher, yet he's not even wearing a traditional Chinese dress. He's quite an extraordinary person..." Xiao Yanqing murmured, her words tinged with anticipation.
Women wearing long gowns is already somewhat unconventional, and Xiao Yanqing had been taught palace etiquette since childhood. He should have frowned and felt uncomfortable about such an impolite thing, but he did not feel that way about this Master Shen.
Xiao Yanqing craned his neck, trying very hard to see what the praised Master Shen looked like, but unfortunately the other party was holding an umbrella, and apart from his green robe, he couldn't see anything.
Just as Xiao Yanqing was about to give up, a gust of wind suddenly rose from the sky, which had been drizzling.
The wind came suddenly and strongly, catching Ms. Chen, who was holding an umbrella, off guard. The oil-paper umbrella tilted to the right, revealing half of her face.
With delicate features and skin as white as the moon, she exudes a cool and aloof aura, making her difficult to approach.
Xiao Yanqing's eyes were wide open. He leaned against the windowsill, trying to see more clearly, but Madam Shen had already straightened the oil-paper umbrella and walked further and further away.
A fleeting glimpse. Those four words flashed through his little mind.
Then he felt that Master Shen's appearance was somewhat familiar, like an old friend, but unfortunately he had not seen his full face.
The next moment, Song Xuan, with a stern face, grabbed him by the back of the neck, and a cold voice rang out behind him: "If you fall headfirst and become crippled, then this dynasty will have to change the crown prince."
The central government stipulated that disabled persons could not succeed to the throne.
Xiao Yanqing shrank back, feeling somewhat guilty, and said, "Father, please forgive me, I was wrong."
He only now realized that his actions were too dangerous; a slight misstep could have caused him to fall down the stairs.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yanqing felt a bit scared. He had never met his mother yet, so he had to live well!
"What were you looking at just now?" Song Xuan's dark eyes showed a hint of doubt. Yan Qing's personality was always steady, and such reckless behavior was not like what he would do.
Xiao Yanqing replied obediently, "Father, I think I just saw that Ms. Shen, so I leaned out of the window to look. I have never seen a female teacher before, so I was a little curious. Please don't blame me, Father."
Recalling the appearance of that teacher, he thought she was very beautiful, but she looked very cold. No wonder the students in the school were afraid of her.
"So what if she's a female teacher? If she can teach her students well, then she's a good teacher," Song Xuan said indifferently and casually.
He wasn't curious about the female teacher, nor did he have any opinion about her; she was just a stranger.
Xiao Yanqing agreed with this, saying, "Father is right. I have learned a lot."
After saying this, he bowed respectfully to Song Xuan.
The exquisitely crafted little baby is very endearing and also exudes a dignified and noble air.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yanqing, who was sitting in a chair reading a book, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and felt a surge of excitement. He remembered who Master Shen resembled!
