The good days seem to pass by so fast when we are waiting!

Before A Yuan had finished doing anything, he was taken to Zhao's house.

Ever since his parents told him about this, Yuan has been in a particularly unclear and confused period.

When he raised the tea over his head, Yuan asked stupidly as if he had just woken up from a dream:

"Where am I?"

A curious little girl squatted beside her, looking at her with her face almost touching her face and said with a smile:

"You are in Zhao's house!"

A Yuan looked in one direction in confusion:

"My parents just left like that?"

The little girl Zhao Ru comforted her:

"Oh, don't be sad, you will see him when you go back home tonight!

Maybe, you will run back crying and see him!"

Yuan looked at her stupidly, not feeling comforted at all.

Master Cen drank her tea and didn't say anything else. His face was cold as ice. He asked her to stand up and sit next to Zhao Ru.

There were only her and Zhao Ru in the room.

"Where is the school you promised me?"

Zhao Ru shrugged and said innocently:

"This is the school in the mansion.

I have a small family, and my sisters are all grown up. They have to learn a lot every day, and their schedules are different from ours. We are the only ones attending class right now!"

Yuan asked weakly, "That's it?"

Zhao Ru nodded: "Yes, it's gone.

Ah! There were a few young ladies from other families before the New Year, but they were all chased away by Master Cen and Nanny Sun. I guess they will never come back in this life."

A Yuan's face became even more bitter: "Ah?"

Zhao Ru: "What? Think positively.

Although they are no longer here, Master Cen and Madam Sun will definitely be stricter with us!"

Yuan: “Is this a good thing?”

Zhao Ru thought about it and said affirmatively: "Anyway, the adults think so, and our words don't count."

Yuan asked her quietly with a sad face:

"If I leave, can I get my tuition refunded?"

Zhao Ru also answered her quietly:

"It's impossible!"

"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Ru stretched out a finger, "That's only one or two taels! You're still thinking about asking for it back. Do you know how much my family spent to hire Master Cen and Nanny Sun~"

Yuan said honestly, "I don't know! How much?"

Zhao Ru wanted to show off:

“This… I don’t know, but I spent a lot anyway.

My parents were willing to let the young ladies from other families come to listen because of our friendship as colleagues.

Your family only has two small flag officers of the seventh rank. If it weren't for Uncle Qin's face, it would be difficult for them to get in. You actually want to go out and return the money. I'll give it to you!"

Ah Yuan shrank his neck guiltily, but still muttered:

"One ounce of silver is not a small amount of money."

Zhao Ru was speechless: "You, you really have never seen anything good! What's the difference between you and a bumpkin?"

Yuan thought about it carefully for a moment and said awkwardly, "I am not that shape, nor am I a mound of dirt."

A country bumpkin is a person who lives in a grave, and it can also be used to describe people who have never seen the world.

Yuan knew it, but he had never been told this before, so he was confused for the moment.

It took a while for him to react, and he said with a bitter face:

"Ah! That's what I mean!

There is no difference. I don’t have much experience. The more I learn, the more I feel like I don’t understand anything. Alas! ”

Yuan shook his head and sighed to himself.

However, she is a country girl from Daxi Village, not a rich lady from Daxi City, so it would be strange if she had any knowledge.

When people say that, she just feels upset and ashamed because she doesn't understand anything... No, it doesn't bother anyone that she doesn't understand.

So what if she is a bumpkin? She is learning everything she doesn't understand. She will understand it sooner or later. Even if she can't learn it, she knows much more now than before. Anyway, she is quite satisfied with herself.

Zhao Ru: …

"You, you're still quite sober."

Zhao Ru didn't know what to say.

"Yes, or if you leave, I'll give it to you secretly, so that you won't be laughed at if you ask for it again."

A Yuan scratched his head and refused:

"Forget it. It's not like we can come here for nothing. We'll just waste the time of the teacher and the nanny.

I heard they are very good, maybe the money my family gives is not enough for a day's study."

Zhao Ru still agrees with this:

"Although I don't know the exact amount, but the amount your family gave must not be enough!"

Yuan clenched his fist to encourage himself:

"I have to stay! It's such a great opportunity, and I have such a great person to teach me. It won't be a pity if I leave!"

Mr. Chen knows so many words, and the tuition for a child is only one or two taels. Mr. Cen and Madam Sun can earn more than one or two taels a day. It would be such a pity if she didn't stay!

Zhao Ru: "Yes! It's such a pity that she's gone! Master Cen was the only female disciple of the Imperial College's chief priest, and Nanny Sun also taught the princess. If it weren't for my grandmother's trick, such a person wouldn't be invited.

Those who left in the past have suffered a great loss, so you have to work hard and hold on. From now on, when there are only two of us, if they are distracted, I can at least get beaten less than half as much!"

Yuan was instantly deflated: "Huh?"

Master Cen and Madam Sun circled around and hid behind the screen: …

The two of them quietly retreated and sat in the next room for a while.

Master Cen asked first:

"What do you think of this little girl?"

Nanny Sun held the tea and used the lid to skim the tea leaves while thinking for a while:

“He has a good character. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have much experience. It’s just that his mind is a little too simple.

What do you think? "

Master Cen frowned a little:

“My memory is good, but I haven’t learned it well, and my handwriting is too ugly.

It is a bit spiritual, but too impetuous, and has a lot of small movements. Does the family treat it like a monkey?"

Nanny Sun was happy for a while:

"Lan Qing, you, if you like someone, just say you like him, but you have to praise him and scold him at the same time."

Master Cen said with a straight face:

“But in such a short time, whether you like it or not, I can teach you.

If she can't bear the hardship, can't stand the fatigue, and behaves in a way that is not worthy of being on the stage, I will still let her go."

Nanny Sun took a sip of tea:

"I think she can definitely stay, she is a determined person.

I asked around and found out that her family was very poor when they first came here. In order to make money she would get up at 4:35 pm every day and walk for two hours to get cheap snacks to sell in the East Market.

It is said that she brought it up on her own initiative, and even dragged her grandfather and cousin along with her, persisting in it for several months, with almost no interruption for a single day.

It was only recently that it was no longer sold.”

Master Cen is still like a piece of wood:

"No wonder she's short."

Nanny Sun pointed at her helplessly:

"What a mouth you have! Come on, go now. It's no good keeping them waiting."

"They are chatting so happily, how can they wait obediently?"

Master Cen didn't believe it at all, but he still took the ruler and went back. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the two children were about to stick together.

Yuan tried to stand up straight against the pillar:

"Almost?"

Zhao Ru held the pen, put one hand on her face to hold her, and raised the other hand twice and put it down:

"If you were a little straighter, you'd be as tall as I was when I was five."

Yuan tried to stretch himself: "Is it almost done?"

Zhao Ru quickly drew a line: "It's okay, just a little bit short."

Yuan looked back and said with satisfaction: "Almost!"

Zhao Ru put her arm around her shoulders and sighed:

"Yeah, it's not easy. Why are you so short?"

Yuan said confidently: "It will be fine when I grow up!"

"You just grew taller?" Zhao Ru asked with some disbelief.

Yuan shook his head: "That's not necessarily true, but you will definitely come to terms with it when I grow up."

"Too!"

Zhao Ru, who was the same age as her, was a head taller than her, and when she hugged her, she looked particularly small.

Master Cen stood behind them and said quietly:

"Do you want to bring another scale to see how much weight you are short of?"

Zhao Ru: It’s over…

A Yuan hesitated and said, "That's not good. Will the Master and Madam be angry if they see it?"

Zhao Ru: "Sister! Turn back! I didn't say those words!"

A Yuan turned around slowly: It’s over!

"Husband, Master!!"

Master Cen showed a very scary smile:

"Yes, it's me!"

A Yuan was horrified:...Grandma, I want to go home!

Chunmei! No... Mom! Save me!

"Both of you, put your hands out!"

On the first day in the Zhao residence, A Yuan was beaten because he did not sit properly in his seat when the master did not tell him to rest!
