Xiaoguo chuckled and said, "Sit still."

"Um!"

Zhuangzhuang nodded with a smile and obediently held the donkey cart with his little hands.

I haven't seen Qin Anming for a long time, and Zhuangzhuang seems very excited.

When she saw Qin Anming, she didn't care whether he was busy or not. She threw herself at him as soon as she saw him. She kept chattering for a long time and no one could get a word in.

"Strong..."

"Uncle, do you know that all the clothes I'm wearing today were made by my mother..."

"...Strong..."

"By the way, uncle, yesterday Fatty Benben from our family had a fight with Heizi from next door..."

"Strong..."

"Also, mom is making slippers. One pair for you, one pair for me, and one pair for dad..."

"So strong..."

"I want to become your disciple."

"Hmm?!"

Qin Anming's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhuangzhuang in disbelief. After confirming that he was not talking nonsense, he looked at Xiaoguo in surprise, "Zhuangzhuang wants to become his disciple?!"

As soon as she said this, everyone's eyes were focused here. Ruyi put down the teapot and sat beside her in disbelief, "Sister Xiaoguo, is this true?"

"Really?" Xiaoguo nodded, not understanding why they reacted so strongly.

"You are too young to be strong."

Ruyi sees other children going to school and finds that they are all much older than Zhuangzhuang.

Qin Anming also nodded with a look of approval. Zhuangzhuang was only four years old, so why was he in such a hurry?

"You are not young anymore. You should start learning from childhood."

Xiaoguo didn't think he was too young. Going to school is about knowledge reserves. Besides, her literacy and brain development are many times faster than those of her peers.

"After all, I'm too old. Other children go to school at the age of eight. I'm afraid I won't fit in with the group."

Uncle Xu took over the conversation at the counter. He was familiar with going to school. It was said that it was several decades ago. He went to school when he was eight years old.

"That's right, Sister Xiaoguo. What will we do if those older kids bully Zhuangzhuang again?"

Ruyi touched the strong little head pitifully.

"Hey, it's okay. Haha, I didn't explain it to you clearly." Xiaoguo smiled. She asked why they reacted so strongly. It turned out that they thought they were going to school. "It's not a college or school where a group of people go. It's a one-on-one apprenticeship."

“Oh~”

As soon as this was said, everyone understood that it was fine to say so. There was no strict age requirement for students to become apprentices, and there was no need to worry about being bullied because of being too strong.

"Which gentleman are you visiting?"

Qin Anming came over holding Zhuangzhuang and sat down beside them. Looking at Xiaoguo's mysterious expression, he asked curiously.

Xiao Guo held back her smile, and looked at their curious eyes. She laughed in her heart but didn't say anything. Instead, she kept everyone in suspense before saying, "Kong..."

"Confucius?!"

As soon as Xiaoguo said the word "Kong", Uncle Xu was so excited that he almost jumped out of the counter.

As soon as the name came out, before Xiaoguo could confirm it, the others took a deep breath and looked at Xiaoguo, asking her for confirmation.

Xiao Guo smiled and nodded calmly, "Yes, Confucius."

"Wow!!"

Several people shouted in surprise at the same time. Xiaoguo was right in front of them and his ears were almost ringing from the shock.

He rubbed his ears and looked at them helplessly, "It's just a chance to visit Confucius. Whether it succeeds depends on others."

"How could it be impossible? We are so smart!"

When Gu Xi Zhuangzhuang heard his name, he nodded in agreement. Yes, he was quite smart.

"That's hard to say. You better stop praising him, or he will become arrogant. It's better for him to be humble."

As Xiaoguo spoke, she pressed down on one of the straight little shoulders, pressing down a few times before stopping.

Although she also likes to praise Zhuangzhuang and likes to hear others praise her, this kind of praise is a little too much for Zhuangzhuang at her current age. There are always people better than you, and there are many outstanding people. Such words are neither too much nor too little, so just use moderation.

Xiaoguo also sounded a warning to herself. She usually likes to boast about her sexual prowess mindlessly. This is not good. She should learn to do it in moderation.

"By the way, Xiaoguo, is Confucius here with us? Why haven't I heard of him?"

Qin Anming asked doubtfully, if the great sage Confucius was here, it was impossible that no one knew about it. Besides, since he was of such a high status, was it possible that he would live in their small county?

Ruyi and the others nodded repeatedly, expressing their curiosity.

"Confucius's hometown is Yonghai County. Now he has retired with honors and has returned with his wife to enjoy his leisure time."

After Xiaoguo finished speaking, they all understood. So that was the case. It was the first time they knew that Confucius’ hometown was actually here.

"Okay, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I have to take Zhuangzhuang to see if Confucius has arrived."

"Then why are you in such a hurry?"

Ruyi was a little confused. Since Confucius had not arrived yet, why did she come so early?

"They are probably just an old couple. I just want to help and see if there is anything they can do for me. After all, it's not easy for someone to give Zhuangzhuang a chance to interview."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

When they heard this, they realized that this was the case. They secretly sighed that Xiaoguo was really capable and quickly told her to go quickly so as not to miss the time.

Xiao Guo picked up Zhuang Zhuang, got on the donkey cart, and drove towards Confucius' residence.

From a distance, I found that it was still very deserted, and the lock on the door was still hanging in its original place.

Xiaoguo stopped the donkey cart and didn't move forward. It seemed that the donkey hadn't arrived yet. That was perfect. He could take some time to change the carriage of the donkey cart.

She had wanted to replace it a long time ago. Now the donkey cart is just a piece of board, which can neither protect her from wind nor rain. In the summer, when it is exposed to the sun, she feels dry all over. In the winter, when the cold wind blows, it makes her bones ache. It should have been replaced a long time ago.

If Zhuangzhuang can really succeed in becoming a disciple, it would be better to have a carriage to pick him up.

On the way to change carriages, they happened to pass by a noodle shop. Xiaoguo put Zhuangzhuang down and let him follow Qin Anming while she went to change carriages.

I came to the place where I could change carriages alone. Xiaoguo had inquired about the prices a long time ago and had also selected a carriage. The price was medium and the smaller one was just right, otherwise the donkey would not be able to pull it.

Xiaoguo had tried it before and she was able to lift it easily by herself, so she wasn't worried about the donkey having a hard time pulling it, as the weight was acceptable.

"Madam is here."

The boss recognized Xiaoguo at a glance and greeted her.

Xiaoguo nodded in shock. She didn't expect that he would remember her.

"Switching carriages today?"

The boss came over to greet her with a smile. How could he not remember her? She had passed by here many times but never came in. Today she finally came in.

"Change, just change to the one you liked last time."

Xiaoguo stopped the donkey cart. She thought he didn't remember it and wanted to show it to him, but the boss nodded immediately, stopped Xiaoguo from entering the house, and said it was no problem.

"Here's your change."

After the boss finished speaking, he told his staff to pull the carriage out. Xiaoguo didn't even need to say anything, the carriage she chose was pulled out.

Seeing his speed, Xiaoguo felt a little confused. Why was he so fast? It was as if he was afraid that she would change her mind.

Watching them busy changing it, Xiao Guo was cautious and went forward to carefully check the carriage for any defects.

When the boss saw Xiaoguo approaching the carriage, his heart rose to his throat and cold sweat broke out on his face, for he was afraid that she would notice something unusual.

At this moment, Xiao Guo seemed to sense something and turned around, glancing in his direction. The boss was so frightened that his breathing stopped immediately. Then he looked around as if nothing had happened, and no one knew what he was avoiding.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Guo became even more certain that there was definitely something wrong with this carriage. He must have installed a defective product in it!
