Chapter 21 Misunderstanding



"Thank you, my husband. My eldest and second sisters-in-law have already thanked me." Liu Tangxi said with a smile.

Looking at Liu Tangxi's beautiful smile, Wei Hanzhou pursed his lips, looking a little uncomfortable.

After responding softly, Wei Hanzhou turned around and walked out.

Not long after Wei Hanzhou left, Liu Tangxi also packed up and left. After leaving, she saw Li in the yard, and Li looked at her with a smile in her eyes.

Liu Tangxi didn't understand and was a little frightened by Li's enthusiasm.

"Third son's wife, you don't have to cook today. Your eldest sister-in-law and I can do it." Li said with a smile.

"Ah? Why?" Liu Tangxi asked in confusion.

"Go back to your room and rest." Li said with a smile.

Liu Tangxi was even more surprised.

Why did she want to go back to rest? Didn't she just take a nap? She was in high spirits and couldn't fall asleep even if she wanted to.

"No need, Mom. I slept well last night." Liu Tangxi explained seriously.

She thought, although it was hot and uncomfortable to sit on the stove, it was not too tiring. It was just cooking, two quarters of an hour would be enough, just bear with it. It was almost time to harvest the crops, and Li was also very busy. She could not help as much as Zhang, but she could not do nothing.

Li was still smiling.

Liu Tangxi was even more confused.

One night passed, and she had no idea what happened.

At this moment, a light cough was heard beside him.

"cough!"

Liu Tangxi looked over.

I saw Wei Hanzhou standing at the door of the study with a book in his hand, looking a little uncomfortable.

Liu Tangxi thought, what's that expression? Li wasn't talking to him, so why should he be embarrassed?

"Just take a rest if your mother tells you to." Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi and said.

Some things become more suspicious the more you explain them, so it is better to just go with the flow, which will save you a lot of trouble.

Liu Tangxi slightly widened her eyes and looked at Wei Hanzhou in surprise. Was this man taking the wrong medicine to speak for her? Could it be that because she taught Fu Yao and Shu Lan, he suddenly felt guilty and started to treat her well?

Li smiled even more happily, pulled Liu Tangxi's arm, and said, "That's right, the third brother said so, why don't you go and rest quickly."

Liu Tangxi didn't find the answer from Wei Hanzhou's face, so she turned around and rejected Li's kindness again: "Mom, it's really not necessary."

Li patted her gently and said, "You kid, you are not willing to take a rest. You should give me a big fat grandson as soon as possible."

Even though Liu Tangxi was a thick-skinned person, a slight blush appeared on her face when she heard this.

Looking at Wei Hanzhou who was standing at the door of the study just now, a trace of arrogance appeared on his usually calm face. Seeing that she was looking at him, he frowned slightly, glanced at her, turned around and walked out.

Liu Tangxi understood that Wei Hanzhou must have guessed what Li meant just now.

"Mom, there's really no need. I'm not tired." Liu Tangxi said.

After refusing several times, Li finally gave up.

While the fire was burning, Liu Tangxi was still silently blaming Wei Hanzhou in his heart.

What a bastard! He understood but didn't tell her. Instead, he continued to talk along with what Li said, causing people to misunderstand!

Wei Hanzhou, who was exercising on the mountain, suddenly sneezed. He looked back at his home at the foot of the mountain, then at the road to the top of the mountain, and felt more resolute.

After dinner, Wei Daniu and Wei Erhu went to the fields, Zhang went to the mountain to look after the fruit trees, and Li took care of Wei Lao San.

Liu Tangxi thought about what he had promised them yesterday and planned to teach a few children to read.

She didn't have a book in her hand, and she didn't bother to be polite with Wei Hanzhou. She ran straight to him and asked him for the book.

"Do you have the Three Character Classic? Lend it to me."

Wei Hanzhou thought of what Liu Tangxi said yesterday, took out a copy of "Three Character Classic" from the bookshelf and handed it to her.

Liu Tangxi opened it and looked at the words on it. It was good, and she basically recognized them all. However, to be cautious, she decided to confirm it.

"Well, I'm going to teach Bosheng and the others later. Let me read it first, and you listen."

Wei Hanzhou looked at her with confusion, as if he didn't quite understand what Liu Tangxi meant.

Liu Tangxi didn't care about him and lowered his head to read. After reading about twenty sentences, he stopped and thought that this should take a long time to teach. After stopping, he looked at Wei Hanzhou, whose expression had not changed, and asked: "How is it, did I read well?"

Wei Hanzhou: ...

Wei Hanzhou knew that she was going to teach Bosheng, and since she didn't say anything, it meant that she had read it correctly. If she had read it incorrectly, he would have pointed it out to prevent her from teaching them badly.

"You seem so engrossed in it. What a pity! You won't have a chance to listen to it today. Maybe tomorrow!"

Seeing that Wei Hanzhou had remained silent, Liu Tangxi deliberately distorted his meaning to anger him, and then walked out with a smug smile.

Wei Hanzhou pursed his lips, frowned, and watched Liu Tangxi run out like the wind. He sighed slightly and focused his eyes on the book in front of him.

Liu Tangxi took the book and went under the grape trellis. At this moment, the three little kids were already waiting there.

Looking at the book in Liu Tangxi's hand, Wei Bosheng showed a look of fear on his face.

"Auntie San, are you really going to teach us...how to read?"

Liu Tangxi nodded and said, "Of course. Your uncle is not available to teach you right now, so I will teach you. Why, are you unhappy?"

Wei Bosheng glanced in the direction of the study, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Liu Tangxi stroked his hair and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I am definitely different from your Third Uncle. Your Third Aunt is not that strict."

"Really? Really?" Wei Bosheng asked cautiously.

"Of course it's true." Liu Tangxi assured.

Then, Liu Tangxi took out the Three Character Classic.

Liu Tangxi did not teach them to recognize words right away, but told them a short story or a truth, and then led them to read the sentence.

Although Wei Bosheng had learned some from Wei Hanzhou, Wei Hanzhou was very busy and had no time to explain to him, so even though he had learned, he didn't know much.

I did review what I had learned before with Liu Tangxi.

Children generally have better memory. In just half an hour, Liu Tangxi had already spoken about ten sentences.

Liu Tangxi didn’t teach in too much detail. She just accompanied the children to kill time and taught them some simple principles.

She thought that if Wei Hanzhou took the provincial examination next year, he would take the metropolitan examination the year after, and he would be the top scorer by then. By then, Wei Bosheng would definitely go to school. As the nieces of the top scorer, Fu Yao and Shu Lan would probably be able to go to school with him.

However, to her surprise, the smartest one among the three children was Fu Yao.

Seeing Fu Yao so smart, Liu Tangxi rubbed her head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your little brain is quite useful, much better than your embroidery."

Wei Fuyao's embroidery skills cannot compare with those of her peers, and are not even as good as those of Wei Shulan, who was only three years old.

But once you know how to read, you'll be far ahead.

"I don't know if we have any female officials here. You can take the exam to become one when the time comes."

"Auntie, what is a female official?" Shu Lan asked with her big eyes.

Fu Yao also smoothed his hair that was messed up by Liu Tangxi and looked at her curiously.

"A female official is a woman who serves as an official," Liu Tangxi explained.

"Ah? Can women also be officials?" Wei Bosheng asked in surprise.

After all, Liu Tangxi didn't know much about this dynasty. After thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "Every dynasty is different. Some dynasties allow it, and some don't."

"Then can we do it here?" Fu Yao asked.

Liu Tangxi rubbed her newly done hair again and said with a smile: "You will know the answer to this question if you read more books."

Fu Yao curled his lips, fixed his hair reluctantly, and moved his butt a little further away from Liu Tangxi.

Liu Tangxi laughed and continued speaking.

Although Wei Hanzhou was reading in the study, he could hear the noises outside. Hearing the occasional laughter coming from outside, Wei Hanzhou frowned.

He had been sitting here for a while and it was a good opportunity for him to stand up and rest his eyes.

Then, Wei Hanzhou's feet seemed to have become conscious and he walked towards the grape trellis outside.

Liu Tangxi was telling them a story when Wei Bosheng, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly stood up with a look of fear on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Tangxi turned around and saw Wei Hanzhou, who had been reading in the study, coming in at some point.

Liu Tangxi was startled, and quickly patted his chest, saying in a gloomy tone: "Oh, a scholar also came to eavesdrop on my lecture? It's such an honor!"

Wei Hanzhou raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Tangxi.

She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't say something to him, right?

The author has something to say: Liu Tangxi: Yes. ,,
