Chapter 429: Teaching the Lonely King to Read
When they were protecting the old senior, he was the one who accompanied the Pavilion Master. Only they themselves knew how difficult it was facing the pursuit and suppression from various forces in the martial arts world and the imperial court.
Now that the old senior said he wanted to come down the mountain to play, the Pavilion Master’s face couldn’t be good.
However, after a moment, Nan Xuan sat up straight from his horse and said in a neutral tone, "Anyway, my mission is complete. Tell him that he can come and play if he wants to, but if anything goes wrong, don't look for me. I'm sorry, I can't accompany him."
Ling An: ...
He knew this would happen.
However, Nan Xuan has always been tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He believes that the Pavilion Master will definitely not ignore the old senior.
…
There are still three days until the Chinese New Year, and Yun Ran's Shanhailou is still welcoming diners every day.
Yun Chengxi's academy is closed, and the little naughty kid runs to Shanhai Tower as soon as he opens his eyes every day.
Children's minds are always active, and when they get together, they love to compare strange things.
For example, whose mother cooks the best food, whose sister is beautiful, whose brother is handsome, whose kitten is the cutest and most adorable, and whose collection of treasures is the most valuable.
In the past few days, Yun Chengxi has been competing with his friends to see whose dog is the smartest and most obedient.
So these days, he has been going to Shanhai Tower frequently to train the lonely king.
Yun Ran felt helpless when he saw his brother excitedly pulling the lonely king to teach it to sit, lie down, and turn around every day.
I have told Yun Chengxi more than once that I am not a dog, and it is best not to take me to crowded places to avoid being recognized and causing panic.
But Yun Chengxi blinked and said mischievously, "I'll just show it to my classmates at the academy! They're just little kids, they won't be able to recognize it!"
This is so funny. Yun Ran poked his little head and said, "Aren't you just a little kid?"
Yun Chengxi was very smart. The first time he saw Gu Wang, he knew that he was not a dog.
However, the king was very docile and had never shown any ill will towards him, so even if Yun Chengxi knew about it, he was not afraid of it.
This morning, Yun Chengxi had breakfast and started teaching the king again.
There were not many customers today, and no distinguished guests came, so Yun Ran had some free time. He sat behind the counter, holding his chin, and watched Yun Chengxi teasing Gu Wang with dried meat to learn something.
"Three, this is three. You have to shout three times to get the dried meat." Yun Chengxi stretched out three fingers seriously and waved them in front of the lonely king.
The lonely king tilted his head and stared at his fingers for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and then he really cried "Ah Ah Ah" three times.
"Great!" Yun Chengxi's eyes lit up with excitement. He took out three pieces of dried meat from the bag beside him and threw them to Gu Wang.
I took it swiftly and swallowed it in two or three bites.
"Come again! This is seven, lonely king, you have to call seven."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..." The lonely king got the answer right again.
Yun Chengxi happily put his arms around Gu Wang's neck and kissed him. When he looked up, he saw Yun Ran sitting behind the counter, smiling at him.
He said happily: "Sister! The King is so smart, he can count!"
"You taught me well." Yun Ran supported his cheeks and smiled lazily.
"I'm going to teach it how to write poetry later! Tomorrow is the day we agreed on, and I'm sure I'll be the best!"
Looking at Yun Chengxi's excited expression and the lonely king squatting opposite Yun Chengxi and pretending to be serious, Yun Ran held back his laughter.
The poor lonely king escaped the clutches of his fourth sister, but fell into the hands of her younger brother.
"But how are we going to teach it to recite poetry? It can't speak."
Yun Chengxi found a collection of poems from somewhere and flipped through them, saying, "I'll say the first line, then a few next lines, and mix the correct ones in for it to choose. I'm so smart, I'm sure I'll be able to choose the right one!"
Yun Ran was helpless: "It's just a wolf, don't make things difficult for it."
Yun Chengxi raised the poetry collection in his hand and said, "How can you know if you don't try? Sis, just wait and see!"
Yun Ran looked up and was delighted. The boy was actually holding his elder brother's poetry collection.
"The emperor values heroes, and teaches you to write." Yun Chengxi read the poetry collection while gently patting the king's head.
Yun Ran found it amusing and continued with the second half of the sentence: "All things are inferior, only reading is superior. My Lord, please remember it quickly. The sooner you remember it, the sooner you can go play."
As she was speaking, a childish voice suddenly came from the door: "Mom, look, they are teaching the dog to read. It's so fresh!"
The clear voice of a child echoed clearly in the quiet hall. Yun Ran looked up and saw a boy of about seven or eight years old wearing a maroon jacket walking in excitedly.
Following behind the boy was a noble lady wearing a plum-dyed silk skirt and a moon-white fox fur coat.
This noble lady was dignified and beautiful, and her every move and gesture exuded the grace of a noble lady. Yun Ran looked at that gentle and considerate face and immediately thought of her.
This is her mother's sister, Yin Qianxue, her aunt.
Then this boy is her little cousin.
"Auntie, little cousin!" Yun Ran came out from behind the counter with a smile, "Why are you here?"
Yin Qianxue, holding the boy's hand, also came forward: "Ranran, you have grown up so fast."
Then he looked at Yun Chengxi, who was squatting on the ground holding a collection of poems. "Is this your little brother? His name is Chengxi? The last time I saw him, he was still in his cradle, chewing his hand! Now he's become a little adult."
Yun Chengxi blushed for a rare moment, then stood up and called out, "Auntie."
Yin Qianxue patted his head: "So good."
Yun Ran saw the boy standing quietly beside Yin Qianxue and asked, "Is this my little cousin? How old is he? What's his name?"
"Seven years old, just a few months younger than Chengxi," Yin Qianxue said with a smile, "Chen Ce, he's quite lively."
"That's perfect. Our Chengxi is also a naughty monkey. The two of them will have company."
As Yun Ran said this, he asked the two children to take the lonely king to play somewhere else, while he took Yin Qianxue upstairs to talk.
The last time we met was several years ago. It was rare that Yin Qianxue suddenly brought little Chen Ce here.
In a private room on the second floor, Yun Ran asked Jiu Yue to boil a pot of Pu'er tea and bring a few plates of snacks. He also sent some snacks to the two children downstairs.
Jiu Yue was very tactful. She agreed and turned to leave.
"How come my aunt suddenly has time to bring my cousin here?" Yun Ran asked.
Yin Qianxue's eyes were filled with smiles: "Good news, your uncle-in-law will be promoted next year and has bought a house in Kuizhou City. I'll bring Ah Ce over to take a look."
Yun Ran's eyes lit up when he heard this: "So you're moving here next year?"
"Yes, A Ce will also transfer here to study."
"Great, then I can go to the same academy with Chengxi." Yun Ran said with a smile, "I'll go talk to the teacher at the academy later. Mr. Zhao is a good person and is already very familiar with me."
Yin Qianxue looked at Yun Ran's smiling face and took her hand with relief: "You've really grown up. The restaurant is doing so well and you're so reliable. Just like when you were a child, you still have such a smart and elegant spirit."
Yun Ran smiled, her eyebrows curved: "Oh, aunt, you really know how to praise people. I feel embarrassed."
"Oh right," she suddenly remembered something, "a few days ago, Mom said the house next door to mine was sold. Could it be that it was you, my aunt?"
