Chapter 63 Minglan and Yuanruo meet for the first time
"Are you okay?" The young man spoke first, pointing at Minglan's forehead, and finally added, "Does it hurt?"
Minglan did not answer, rubbing her forehead and staring at the young man.
Seeing that the little girl was rubbing her forehead without saying anything, just staring at him, the young man thought it was his fault, and hurriedly bowed to Minglan, "I am rude, because it is my first time to come to Sheng Mansion, I don't know the way, and my sight is blocked by this stone, so I didn't see the lady, I offended the lady, it's my fault."
The young man bowed to apologize, his voice woke Minglan, Minglan hurriedly waved her hands, "It's not your fault, I walked too fast and bumped into you, I should apologize to you." Minglan also bowed to apologize.
"Sixth sister, brother Yuanruo, what are you doing?" Changfeng's voice suddenly appeared, interrupting the two. Changbai Changfeng walked over and saw the two bowing to each other. It turned out that both of them bowed to apologize and begged for forgiveness from each other. Both of them were honest and didn't hear the other party say forgiveness. They just bowed without raising their heads.
Hearing Changfeng's call, Minglan and the young man raised their heads together. The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed. Minglan spoke first, "I don't feel pain anymore!" When the young man heard her speak, his smile became even deeper.
"Second brother, third brother, I was walking too fast just now and bumped into this young master. I am apologizing to him." Minglan explained to Changbai Changfeng.
When the young man at the side heard Minglan putting all the blame on herself, he also spoke up quickly, "No, it's not this sister's fault, I didn't see the road clearly and bumped into her." As he spoke, he pointed to Minglan's red forehead and continued to explain, "I also hurt this sister."
Minglan was about to explain further, but Changbai spoke up. He asked Minglan first, "Is the sixth sister seriously hurt?"
Minglan smiled brightly at him, "Second brother, it's not serious, it just hurt a little when I bumped into her, but it doesn't hurt anymore, I'm fine." As he spoke, he turned around.
Changbai saw that Minglan was fine, and turned to the young man, "Is Yuanruo injured?"
The young man shook his head, "I'm fine, I just hurt my sister."
Changbai laughed, "Since both of you are fine, don't bother about who bumped into whom. In the final analysis, it's my and my third brother's fault. It was Yuanruo's first time to come to our house, and we should have taken good care of you to the school, but you had something and left in the middle of the class, so this happened."
"Brother Changbai, don't say that, it's me..."
"Oh, okay, okay, isn't Sixth Sister okay? It's not a big deal. We should hurry to school. We can't be late for the first day of class." Chang Feng interrupted the young man, stepped forward to hug him, and pushed him forward, then turned back and called Chang Bai and Ming Lan, "Second brother, Sixth Sister, follow me."
The young man was pushed forward. He looked back and saw Chang Bai touching the little girl's head and coaxing her with a gentle smile.
"Sixth Sister, have you eaten breakfast?"
"Don't worry, Second Brother, I will never forget to eat even if I forget anything. Let me tell you secretly, Xiao Tao and I packed a few pieces of lotus cakes. If you are hungry, you can take them." The two followed Chang Feng and the others in front of them while talking.
"By the way, I haven't introduced her to Brother Yuanruo yet. This is our sixth sister, Minglan. She is the youngest in the family and will attend classes with us in the future." Changfeng suddenly remembered and introduced the young man.
The young man turned his head and looked at the lovely girl, and he understood in his heart that it was Miss Liu from the Sheng family. "How is the sixth lady!"
Changbai also introduced the young man to Minglan, "Sixth sister, this young man was born in the Duke of Qi's Mansion. His father is the Duke of Qi and also the operator of the Salt Administration. His mother is the Princess Pingning. His name is Qi Heng, and his courtesy name is Yuanruo. My mother said that our two families are somewhat related, so the sixth sister can call him brother."
Minglan stared at the young man in front of her again and thought he was really handsome, even more handsome than her third brother. Changbai quietly patted Minglan on the shoulder, and Minglan replied. God, "Brother Yuanruo, how is it!"
After a delay, when the four arrived at the school, Mr. Zhuang had already arrived. The three of them greeted the teacher in unison, "How is it, Mr. Zhuang!"
Mr. Zhuang stood in front of the podium with his hands behind his back. When he saw the four students come in and greet him, he recognized Qi Heng among them at a glance, "Yuanruo is here too?" Qi Heng had been taught by Mr. Zhuang before, and he admired his talent very much. Therefore, the princess sent Qi Heng to the Sheng Mansion so that he could continue to receive Mr. Zhuang's teachings.
"In reply to your words, Yuan Ruo admires your profound knowledge. Every time I hear your teachings, I feel enlightened and benefit a lot. So I want to continue to be your disciple, take you as a role model, study diligently, cultivate myself and establish virtues. I sincerely ask you to teach me and give me more guidance." Qi Heng replied respectfully.
Mr. Zhuang felt comforted by Qi Heng's subtle compliments, but he still waved to several students and said, "Find a seat and sit down!"
Minglan looked around and saw that Molan was already sitting upright. Minglan looked at the empty seat behind Molan and thought of leaving it for Rulan, so she sat down at the back. After sitting down, Minglan had time to observe the internal environment of the school.
Inside the school, the wooden structure is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and the doors and windows are carved with delicate patterns, showing an elegant atmosphere. In the early morning, the light is soft, penetrating through the half-open window lattices, and candles are lit in the room. There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the fragrance of ink is overflowing, inspiring students to study hard. Mr. Zhuang's desk is placed in front, and the four treasures of the study are neatly placed on the desk. Below Mr. Zhuang's desk are six desks, placed side by side in pairs, with an aisle in the middle, so that Mr. Zhuang can easily inspect the students' academic situation.
In this place full of literary and bookish atmosphere, Minglan's eyes were accurately locked on the ruler on Mr. Zhuang's desk. Minglan couldn't help but worry about her academic career! Minglan
was looking at the desk in front of her (actually looking at the ruler), Qi Heng was looking at Minglan, he sat in front of Minglan, and as soon as he sat down, he went to see where the sixth sister sat. He happened to see Minglan's face turned bitter, Qi Heng couldn't help but laughed out loud.
This laugh attracted everyone's attention.
"Yuan Ruo, why are you laughing?" Mr. Zhuang asked.
Qi Heng immediately stood up and bowed to answer, "I just saw two birds fighting outside the window. I was not paying enough attention. Please punish me, sir."
Mr. Zhuang hesitated for a moment, probably because he had not thought of this answer. He felt a headache about the next teaching, but did not punish me. "Although the class has not officially started yet, you have to start preparing for the class. Learning requires getting rid of distractions. Concentration is the most important thing. Considering that this is your first offense, I will punish you if you are distracted by external things next time." "
Thank you, sir! I will take note!"
"Okay, sit down and prepare for the class!"
