Xiao Cunyu didn't feel guilty. Master Liang stared at the beautiful and childish handwriting with a frown.
"Is this written by a maid in the mansion?" Master Liang saw it at a glance.
People say that handwriting reflects the character of the person, and Master Liang also firmly believes in this.
With Xiao Cunyu's personality, the characters he wrote were either so wild and flamboyant that they were illegible, or so careless and ugly that they looked weird. It was definitely not as neat and tidy as the handwriting in front of him.
"Master, you have a good eye! This was written by a maidservant of my aunt. The girl is really talented, and her handwriting is neat and sincere! Of course, I watched it with my own eyes, and I guarantee that she didn't make a single mistake!" Xiao Cunyu grinned and spoke proudly.
The wrinkles on Master Liang's face became more complicated.
He slammed the ruler in his hand onto the table with a "smack" sound: "Ugly wood! I assigned this homework to you, but did I let you mess around like this?"
"Master, don't be angry. My aunt wanted to hear a story yesterday, and I talked till my lips were dry to please her. So I didn't have time. You see, although I can't read many words, I am a filial son, right?" Xiao Cunyu boasted. "I will definitely do the homework next time!"
"Stretch out your hand." Master Liang said.
The Xiao family said that the boy had a weak constitution and was the only son, so they did not allow him to take action.
But how can I not take action against such a naughty boy?
After all, it's for the good of the child, and he won't beat her to death. If the Xiao family gets angry later, he can just explain it in detail!
"Please hit me gently." Xiao Cunyu stretched out his hand very skillfully.
Master Liang was stunned for a moment, and looked at her suspiciously, even vaguely feeling that this child was up to something bad...
But after waiting for a while, I found that the boy was waiting with pure eyes, and he actually accepted the punishment obediently! ?
If he really was a scoundrel, he would have to put in some effort to fight him, but since he was so honest, he felt a little embarrassed.
Of course, I still had to fight, but the anger was gone and the blows didn’t hurt as much.
"hiss--"
“Ouch—”
"ah--"
“…”
Xiao Cunyu responded to the repeated hits with the ruler without forgetting to wail. After twenty hits, she stopped wail- ing and regained her fearless look, lying on the seat.
For the first time, Master Liang felt that he couldn't see through a young man...
He continued to teach, and suddenly became interested. He found an article and read it, explaining the content clearly, wanting to see Xiao Cunyu's reaction.
But I found that the child was listening quite seriously?
Master Liang's face was more tolerant. "Your elder brother, Xiao Jingyun, passed the imperial examination on his own and became an official in his teens. I think you're not stupid either. As long as you work hard, you will surely be as successful as your elder brother in the future... After all I've said just now, have you memorized this article?"
"Master, I have a suggestion!" Xiao Cunyu did not answer him, but shouted happily instead.
"You say." Master Liang was even happier.
This kid is pretty good, much better than the stubborn Dong Jinming. He became obedient immediately after being beaten, and I can even discuss and interact with him. He is a good seedling!
"Have you kept this beard all these years?" Xiao Cunyu asked.
“…” Master Liang stared at him blankly.
"I see it's not suitable for you to have a beard based on your face. Your lips are in good shape and their color is excellent. As the saying goes, lips like splashed sand mean wealth and glory, and mouth like elixir means freedom from hunger and cold. If you remove your beard, you will surely be in good luck and become wealthy and noble when you are 56 years old." Xiao Cunyu finished speaking in one breath, with a serious and sincere attitude.
