Chapter 157 Little Childhood

Sweetheart "Okay, I'm also worried that you can't take care of yourself if you live alone, so you can live in Chengxin Garden, but you have to get up a quarter of an hour earlier every day." Mingxi was happy to be held and rocked by Minglan. "

Don't worry, mother. Sister Zhuli and Sister Yingwu have already moved to the Princess's Mansion. They will take care of everything for me. If I come back late from the palace that day, I can go to the Princess's Mansion to rest for a night."

"Okay, I'm always at ease when Zhuli and Yingwu take care of things." After worrying about Minglan's affairs, Mingxi thought about Gu Tingye's move to a new house. "Your second brother Gu will move to a new house tomorrow, so you're going to have a big banquet, right? Have you prepared the gifts?"

"Everything is ready. I'm sure that second brother Gu and sister Yan will like it." Minglan was confident.

During these two days, Minglan had some rare leisure time, and she remembered that she hadn't seen Changzhang for some time.

"Mother, I haven't seen Changzhang for some time. I didn't even see him when I paid my respects to my grandmother yesterday." Minglan asked Mingxi curiously.

Mingxi didn't know what she was thinking of, and she burst out laughing.

Minglan thought Mingxi was laughing inexplicably, and couldn't help asking her, "Mother, what are you laughing at?"

Mingxi tried hard to calm the urge to laugh, suppressed the corners of her mouth, and then said to Minglan: "You don't know, your brothers have all participated in this year's Spring Examination, and they won't go to school after the Spring Examination; you, you have been busy these days, and you haven't been to school; your fourth sister often has poetry meetings and literary meetings to participate in, and your fifth sister is not fond of learning, and if you don't go, she won't go either. Now, there is only one person left in the school. Chang Zhang is the only one left. It just so happens that Mr. Zhuang has taken a fancy to him and said that he is a promising talent. He is very concerned about his studies and wants to swim in the ocean of knowledge every day. "

Thinking of Chang Zhang's bitter face, Mingxi laughed again. Chang Zhang is a talented player. He has a photographic memory and excellent comprehension. Mr. Zhuang wants to take him as his closed disciple, but Chang Zhang is lively by nature. Because of his good talent, he learns everything very quickly, so he is a little impetuous in doing things. Mr. Zhuang wants to temper his temper. During this time, Mr. Zhuang almost lived in Sheng Mansion. He kept Chang Zhang practicing calligraphy, playing chess, and painting all day long, just to cure Chang Zhang's impetuous problem.

Minglan also laughed, "So this naughty boy is studying hard, no wonder he is not seen anymore? He is so hardworking! I will go out and find him some good ink tomorrow!"

Mingxi tapped Minglan's forehead, "If you give him this ink, he will cry for sure. He said a few days ago that his brothers and sisters don't give him interesting things as gifts now, but only ink, inkstone, books, paper, etc., which must be boring. He also said that studying is tiring enough, and he is happy to receive a gift, but all of them are secretly urging him to study hard, which makes him very upset."

As they spoke, the laughter of the mother and daughter intertwined again.

Mingxi stopped laughing, looked like he had a secret, and raised an eyebrow at Minglan. "The reason you haven't seen Chang Zhang these days is not entirely because of your heavy schoolwork, there are other reasons as well."

Minglan smelled something unusual and shook Mingxi's arm, begging her to speak quickly, "Good mother, if you know anything else, tell me quickly."

Mingxi still wanted to tease Minglan to whet her appetite. Chengzi at the side suddenly spoke up, "Miss, if you want to know, you can ask me. I know everything I know."

Mingxi didn't want to stop Chengzi from speaking, and saw Minglan turned to that side, "Ming'er, are you sure you want to listen to Chengzi? She finished talking to you in one sentence, what's the fun? Come on, let me tell you."

Mingxi turned Minglan's face back, and no longer kept her in suspense, and said directly: "Your brother has a childhood sweetheart!"

Minglan stood up excitedly, "Ah? Which family is it? Do I know her?"

Mingxi pulled Minglan back and sat down. "It's the girl from the Wen family next door!"

"The girl from Wen Hanlin's family? Wen Hanlin has never had much contact with our family?" Minglan was puzzled.

"Wen Hanlin is devoted to learning and has always been a loner. He doesn't associate with our family, nor with other Hanlin scholars."

"How did Chang Zhang get to know their daughter?"

Mingxi smiled mysteriously again, and then told the story. "Didn't I tell you before that after you all stopped going to school, Chang Zhang was left alone. He was bored after class, so he wandered around the yard. As he was wandering, he saw a little girl's head sticking out from the wall next to the school."

"Isn't that side of the school the Wen family's courtyard wall?"

"Yes, it's the Wen family's courtyard wall, and the girl on the wall is the Wen family's daughter, Wen Shuyu."

That day, the brothers and sisters at home were not studying in the school, and Chang Zhang was stared at by Mr. Zhuang for an hour. Mr. Zhuang also emphasized the combination of work and rest, so he let him go out for a walk.

Chang Zhang strolled along the courtyard of the school. It was a sunny day, and the sunlight gently filled every corner of the school courtyard. The golden light and the mottled shadows of the trees intertwined to form a peaceful picture. Chang Zhang was alone, wandering aimlessly in the courtyard.

As he walked, his eyes inadvertently fell on the shadows on the ground. There was a furry and moving shadow above the shadows on the wall that attracted his attention. Chang Zhang raised his head curiously and met a pair of eyes as bright as stars. It was a little girl about the same age as Chang Zhang. She was lying on the wall, and the sunlight sprinkled on her, giving her a layer of soft gold. The girl's skin was as delicate and fair as a newly blossomed petal, and her cheeks were slightly flushed due to the sunlight, just like shy peach blossoms in the morning light. Her hair naturally fell on her shoulders, swaying gently with her gentle movements, adding a bit of agility and loveliness.

Seeing Chang Zhang looking over, the girl was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked back at Chang Zhang in surprise. Chang Zhang was stunned when he saw such a girl with star-like eyes and innocence for the first time.

The little girl felt a little embarrassed when being stared at by Chang Zhang. She thought that Chang Zhang's daze was because of her rude stealing, so she explained with shame: "Young Master, I didn't mean to peek. It's just that every day when I was in the mansion, I could always hear the voice of Mr. Zhuang teaching. I was yearning, so I... climbed the wall to watch."

Chang Zhang finally came to his senses after hearing what the little girl said, "Climbing the wall is dangerous. My grandmother and mother don't allow me to climb the wall. Since you like to listen to the teacher's lectures, I think you are studious. Then you can come to my house to study. I am the only student left in my school now. If there is one more studious student, the teacher will be happy."

Chang Zhang was excited about his proposal and felt that his proposal was brilliant.
