Chapter 263: Uncle Fox
Old Man Su said admiringly: "Master Yu is still amazing."
"Dad, when the academy is built, you will be used to managing it and will definitely be more powerful than Master Yu."
Little Tangbao was generous in cheering up his dad.
"My daughter, why is it Dad who is in charge of the academy?" Old Man Su asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that Master Yu would be the headmaster of the academy?"
"Dad, the principal is the principal. Master Yu has the final say on teaching matters, but Dad is still in charge of other matters in the academy. Master Yu will definitely not take care of those trivial matters."
After all, a school has a principal, vice principal, dean of studies, finance officer, etc.
Everyone has his or her own job!
What's more, this top scholar might just walk away one day.
Xiao Tangbao doesn't think that his small academy can keep people here.
The yard became quiet and the adults retreated to the back.
Yu Zhilan looked at the group of children and ordered, "Line up!"
Out of their natural reverence for the teacher and the top scholar, these children, no matter how naughty they were in normal times, now all behaved like quails and lined up obediently.
Yu Zhilan looked at Xiao Tangbao.
"Little girl, please serve me with pen and ink."
"Yes, Uncle Zhuangyuan."
Little Tangbao agreed with a smile, ran to his room happily, and brought out pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
When Yu Zhilan saw the small Duan inkstone that Xiao Tangbao placed on the table, her eyes couldn't help but flash.
Then, his eyes fell on the ink stick again.
Authentic pine ink has a natural pine scent.
It doesn't have the unpleasant smell of ordinary ink sticks.
Yu Zhilan's gaze continued to move.
Paper, the best Xuan paper.
Pen, a specially made Hu pen.
Yu Zhilan's eyes lingered on the pen for a moment.
The small and slender pen holder is especially suitable for children who are just learning to write.
You can tell at first glance that it is custom-made.
A hint of interest flashed in Yu Zhilan's eyes.
Finally, his gaze fell back on the small Duan inkstone.
It is hard to imagine how much this Duan inkstone alone is worth.
Even young ladies from wealthy families probably did not receive such treatment when they first learned to write.
This little girl is really being pampered.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhilan looked at Xiao Tangbao again.
The little girl was wearing a light red embroidered jacket, twin buns, and a blue pearl flower.
The little face is white and tender, and the big eyes are clear and transparent.
Red lips and white teeth, innocent and cute.
When people see it, it is as if they see the little fairy child in the New Year picture walking down.
I like it for no reason.
"I'll grind the ink."
Old Man Su hurried forward.
My daughter is too young to do the job of grinding ink.
Yu Zhilan glanced at Old Man Su and nodded slightly.
But I thought to myself: I wonder if the head of the Su family knows how precious these things used by his precious daughter are?
After Old Man Su ground the ink stick, Yu Zhilan looked at Little Tangbao and said, "Now, it's up to Village Master Fude."
After saying that, he actually bent down and carried little Tangbao to a chair beside him.
Then he gestured to Xiao Tangbao to stand on the chair and take over Old Man Su's job.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Well, she can’t grind ink, but can’t she pretend to do it?
Although, she didn't know why this top scholar wanted her to act like this.
Is it just for appearances?
After all, even though he is young, he is still a village chief, right?
"Dad, let me do it."
As Xiao Tangbao said this, he took the ink stick from Old Man Su's hand.
Yu Zhilan spread out the rice paper, picked up the brush, and looked at the crowd of people in the yard.
"How fortunate you are today, to have this top scholar writing and the village head, Fude, grinding ink..."
Before Yu Zhilan finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in the yard, both adults and children, lit up.
What's more, some were shaking with excitement and rubbing their hands.
"The names of my Wang family descendants were actually written by the top scholar, and the Fude Township Master ground the ink... I, I want to tell my ancestors about this. When I return, I will burn incense for them..."
"Oh my god! Is there something going on in the Zhang family's ancestral graves? To think we could have such an honor..."
"With the blessing of both Wenquxing and the Village Lord Fude, our Lin family's children may even be able to pass the imperial examination in the future..."
"That's right, our Zhao family might be able to..."
"Ours can also..."
"Thank goodness I'm here today. I'm so lucky..."
Everyone was excited and relieved.
He looked at Yu Zhilan and Xiao Tangbao with his bright eyes.
Judging from his appearance, he was almost kneeling down and bowing.
The corners of Xiao Tangbao's mouth twitched.
Then he looked at Yu Zhilan, Yu Zhuangyuan, with admiration.
I have learned the essence of self-promotion!
See, this is what we call seizing every opportunity to advertise.
What happened today will soon spread throughout the surrounding villages.
After these people go back, they will probably run around spreading the news and showing off without even touching the ground.
If anyone tells her that scholars are pedantic, old-fashioned and inflexible, she will get angry!
This top scholar is really good at advertising.
I am willing to admit defeat.
After all, I, the "Fu Ya" as everyone calls her, am embarrassed to use my identity to advertise.
This top scholar, on the other hand, directly uses his status as the top scholar as his trademark.
Originally, I used someone else's status as the top scholar as a gimmick, and I felt a little apologetic, thinking about making amends later.
Now it seems that it is free.
"Uncle Zhuangyuan, awesome!"
Xiao Tangbao gave Yu Zhilan a thumbs up.
Yu Zhilan smiled slightly.
"Little girl, learn a little."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
This identity of "number one scholar" has delayed you. If you had gone into business, you would have become a wealthy man long ago.
"Were you really the top scorer in high school?" Little Tangbao asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it look like it? It's absolutely the same."
Little Sugar Baby, "...not like it."
"Hehehe, little girl, what do you think he looks like? A man who talks a lot of nonsense, has a noble character, and never smiles?" Yu Zhilan said with a smile.
Little Tangbao nodded seriously, "Well, people like you look like charlatans and fakes."
Yu Zhilan, “…”
"You don't look like a little girl of your age. A little girl of your age wouldn't say such things." Yu Zhilan counterattacked meaningfully.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
My heart skipped a beat.
Why do I feel like the vest is not strong enough again?
Blinking his big eyes, he looked very happy.
"Uncle Zhuangyuan, are you praising me? My parents, brother, and sister-in-law have always praised me for being smart, and I think I'm smart too..."
Little Tangbao said this in a baby voice, raising his little chin proudly.
This baby is just too smart, so he doesn't talk like a child of a few years old.
"Hehehe..." Yu Zhilan laughed.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
Some goosebumps.
She decided to call Master Yu "Uncle Fox" from now on.
"Uncle Zhuangyuan, when you smile like this and squint your eyes, you look like a fox my father caught a while ago. How about I call you Uncle Fox from now on?" Little Tangbao blinked his innocent big eyes and asked seriously.
He looked completely innocent and naive.
Yu Zhilan, “…”
"Hahaha..." The old general's hearty laughter rang out.
Little Sugar Baby looked back.
It turned out that the old general and Xuanyuan Jin had walked behind her at some point.
