"Well..." The little boy took out a book called "Common Sense of Modern Society" which was bigger than his face and turned to a certain page. He explained seriously:
"It is said that in that world, many people with square tattoos can take the civil service examination, which is equivalent to the modern imperial examination. Women can also become officials there, so this move probably ruined Lin Jiaojiao's future..."
The little boy pointed to one of the lines on the page. He involuntarily puffed out his chest, like a little nerd in a modern classroom who knows the answer when the teacher asks a question.
"So that's how it is... then the punishment is quite severe." Sheng Xice and Sheng Yichen understood clearly and looked at Gu Yuancheng in shock at the same time.
This kid has only been reading these books for a few years, right?! The book in his hand looks as thick as a few bricks stacked together. Has this kid finished reading all of them in just a few years?
Can you also accurately point out a line of text when you need to quote? !
What a little prodigy with a photographic memory!
It's so strange that even though his mother's family has no power in the court, this child can still make his brothers run around in circles and become a person that everyone in the court of Beichen is afraid of!
Not only that, but she has also grown up to be very understanding and sometimes she understands my younger sister better than we, the family members, do.
Sheng Xiao and Sheng Wu felt jealous, but they had to admire that this kid was really capable.
Now that everyone has confirmed Xiao Xier's symptoms, they know how to deal with it. Li Zhenyi immediately brought in a basin of cool water from outside, soaked a handkerchief with it, and applied it to her forehead to cool her down.
Seeing that the little girl's lips were dry and she was mumbling to herself in her sleep, he fed her some warm water with a small spoon and gently stroked her back with his hands.
Grandmother Feng Manyin discussed with her and went to the carriage to find some herbs to prepare some soup for her to replenish her qi. Sheng Jinghai even went out with a bow in his hand, saying that there were a lot of spotted deer and spotted pigeons in the area, all of which were good things for replenishing qi and blood. Now we should go out and hunt a few of them, so that when little Xier wakes up, she can drink some hot venison soup.
The whole family was busy again, but the Sheng brothers showed great interest in the books in the hands of their younger brother.
Everyone wanted to know more about the world that Xiao Xier once lived in, so that they wouldn't be at a loss what to do next time. They all gathered around and started reading.
Sheng Yichen was particularly interested in the story of Gu Beichen and Lin Wanwan, and began to take notes while reading, trying to understand his younger sister better, so as to avoid being beaten to the punch by Gu Yuancheng every time.
Actually, these books were found by Zhaocai when Gu Yuancheng asked Sheng Nanxi for them.
If she knew that a stupid online article had been mixed into some popular science books, she would have to teach Zhaocai a lesson, and then hold Brother 꺘's head and shake it more, and shake out all the dross that she had just received into her mind. But...
Of course, this is a story for later.
…
When Sheng Nancy opened her eyes dazedly, the sun was already high in the sky.
The little girl just turned over in her down quilt, and Li Zhenyi, who was packing her luggage next to her, noticed her movement and hurried over to test the temperature of her forehead.
"Xi'er, are you awake? Are you still tired? Do you want to sleep a little longer? Don't worry, the bosses have discussed several different itineraries. If you sleep until noon, we will have lunch before setting off, and rest at an inn in the county city fifty miles away at night."
"If you want to rest until the afternoon, we can stay here for one more night, and then we will set off eastward a hundred miles tomorrow and find an inn to rest."
Li Zhenyi's face was full of distress. She gently placed her hand on Sheng Nancy's wrist and felt that her pulse was indeed much more stable than in the morning, which made her feel relieved.
"Anyway, your brothers have already made arrangements, and we are in a hurry to get on the road. Xier can rest any time she wants."
I don't know how worried they were when they saw Xiao Xier had a fever this morning. Even though they knew the little girl shouldn't be in serious condition, they and the other brats still stayed by the bed and didn't dare to move even a step away.
Until Xiao Xier's body recovered a little, she sent a few children away to do their business and stayed here alone.
"Uh... honey, I just got up a little late today, why are you so anxious?" Sheng Nanxi just woke up, her baby voice was unclear, and she didn't understand the situation in front of her.
"You just woke up a little late?!" Li Zhenyi was about to burst into tears. "Did you know that you had a fever in the early morning and we woke you up no matter how hard we tried?!"
Sheng Nanxi really knew this. She felt that she had slept very deeply, and now she was still sore all over and had no strength to move after waking up.
The consequences of exhausting her superpowers are definitely more serious than exhausting her physical strength. She almost exhausted all her superpowers yesterday, so it's strange that she has a fever. As long as she has enough rest time, she will recover naturally.
"You, you!" Li Zhenyi looked unhappy.
"This morning, mother specifically asked Xiaocheng, Lao and Laowu, and they both said that it was you who unleashed your potential in two consecutive times of crisis and wiped out the entire Xirong army."
"You want to save millions of people, but my mother objects. But you could have used a more clever method to scare the Xirong people into retreating on their own. Why did you have to use this tactic of killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of your own? Why did you have to annihilate all of them?"
Although Li Zhenyi was disciplining her little daughter, there was no blame in her tone. Instead, she felt more distressed for her little daughter.
Ahem... Sheng Nanxi was only thinking about how to retaliate in a hurry at that time, and she didn't think of so many things.
Now that he had suffered a great loss, he could only bow his head and admit his fault:
"I know, Ryoku~ Next time I take action, I will definitely consider my own strength first, and I won't be so reckless again."
There was a hint of crying in her baby voice, and she sounded so aggrieved.
But I thought in my heart, hehe! I just need to consider my own strength first! As long as my own strength allows, whoever dares to cause trouble next time will be buried by me!
Sheng Nanxi's body trembled slightly with excitement, but in Li Zhenyi's eyes, she felt that the little girl was scolded too harshly by her, and she could only endure the grievance.
She just wanted to remind her little daughter, and now she was no longer angry. She quickly picked up her little glutinous rice ball and comforted her:
"Alright, alright, I know you were anxious to save people and didn't have time to think about all this."
"Besides, those Xirong were extremely brutal and cruel. Each of them had killed many people from Nanqi. What Xiao Xier did was absolutely right! I just hope you can be more careful next time and remember to protect yourself before saving others."
"Forget it. You are so old, it's normal for you to remember these things. I'll go talk to Xiao Cheng later and ask him to remind you next time he encounters a similar situation. Are you hungry, Xiao Xi'er? Your grandmother, Sister Feng, specially stewed a pot of venison and astragalus soup for you to regulate your qi and blood. I guess it's ready now."
Who gave this girl a pair of big, watery eyes that looked aggrieved? Before Li Zhenyi could say anything to her, her anger disappeared and she began to wash the little girl with a loving face.
The little girl half-closed her eyes and enjoyed her mother wiping her face with a hot towel. But at this moment, she heard someone come to report that a strong man outside was holding the Sheng family card and came to ask for an audience.
The other party first found an inn in the city with a green flag with a sun and moon totem on it. After explaining his purpose, he was brought here by Gu Yuancheng's men.
When Sheng Nanxi heard this, she immediately sat up straight.
Wow! Is this the beautiful sister and future warrior Xue Huai whom she wants to win over? !
These two people are quite enlightened. They figured it out so quickly?!
