"What's your name? How old are you?" Old Master Gu, with his white beard, was very approachable and smiled kindly.
"In reply to Master, my nickname is Xingxing, and my full name is Zhou Linglong. You can just call me Xingxing, the Xing of lucky star."
Seeing Xingxing so well-behaved, Zhao Guihua breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
She knew exactly how Xingxing had spoken to Master Song last time. That little girl was utterly arrogant and ignorant. Not only did she dare to play tricks on Master Song, but she also arrogantly put her hands on her hips and said that she would have Erfu beat the steward of the Song family to death.
Oh dear, luckily Master Song is a kind and gentle man who wouldn't stoop to the level of a child. Otherwise, if Xingxing had offended someone, his whole family would have been in deep trouble.
Therefore, before coming to see the Master, Zhao Guihua repeatedly reminded Xingxing, fearing that she might argue with the old Master because of her childish nature.
"This is my little sister, Ruru. She's my aunt's daughter. I'm six years old, and Ruru is five. Please take good care of her from now on, teacher." Xingxing looked innocent, cute, and very well-behaved.
Master Gu was quite pleased and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked at Ruru with a stern expression. Startled by the sudden look from the master, Ruru immediately began reciting, "At birth, man is inherently good; his nature changes with his habits..."
Everyone: "..."
Master Gu asked, "This child can recite the Three Character Classic?" His tone was certain, because Ruru was still reciting it.
Zhao Guizhi almost burst into tears of joy. She didn't know how Ruru suddenly remembered the Three Character Classic she used to memorize. However, she didn't plan to explain the past to Master Gu, because it was a long story and there was no need to.
She simply nodded and said, "My husband is educated, so he taught her."
Chen Shunping used to be a servant and study companion of the eldest son of the Chen family, so he was naturally literate.
"I see," Master Gu said, indicating that he understood.
After returning from Master Gu's place, Zhao Guizhi brought Ruru into the room and asked her with red eyes, "Third Miss, do you remember now? You remember, don't you?"
Chen Yueru pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes, but she raised her hand to wipe away Zhao Guizhi's tears. "Sister Guizhi, from now on you and Uncle Shunping will be my parents. I will be very good and won't throw a tantrum to make you angry."
This child is precocious. After recovering, she remembered her past and knew who her biological parents were. However, she also knew that she might not be able to return to the Chen family. But she was afraid that Zhao Guizhi and Chen Shunping would abandon her, so she never dared to say that she remembered who she was.
However, no matter how precocious she is, she is still a five-year-old child. So when she was glanced at by Teacher Gu, she became nervous and started reciting the Three Character Classic to him.
