Chapter 102
"Then I'll trouble Qingshi to accompany Mother to choose a gift that suits Young Master Wei's taste." Li Zhiwei had no doubt about Xu Qingshi's words.
He felt that Xu Qingshi was about the same age as Wei Herui and should understand better what children of this age liked.
The two agreed and then went out together with Qinghua and Qingyue.
As for Tianci, the guards arranged by the Prince's Mansion had already taken him away.
Although Qinghua and Qingyue were worried, they couldn't keep her locked up in the mansion all the time.
Xu Qingshi enthusiastically led the person to the largest bookstore in the capital.
“Mother, do you know that Wei Herui doesn’t have many other hobbies? He just likes reading and writing!” Xu Qingshi said, holding Li Zhiwei’s hand. He spoke with great enthusiasm.
However, a calculating smile crept onto Xu Qingshi's lips.
"I never expected that Young Master Wei would be so studious." Li Zhiwei, however, did not notice Xu Qingshi's malicious smile.
I really thought that Wei Herui was so studious at such a young age.
“Of course, just look who Wei Herui’s grandfather is. He’s Grand Tutor Wei. Although Wei Herui is young, he can already read very advanced books.” Xu Qingshi nodded repeatedly as he spoke.
"Is he reading the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic?" Li Zhiwei asked after thinking for a moment.
"It should be more than that; he can definitely see even more difficult ones now," Xu Qingshi said after thinking for a moment.
In fact, he didn't even know what the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic contained.
Li Zhiwei was surprised; she hadn't expected Wei Herui to be so capable.
However, considering what Xu Qingshi just said, it's not unreasonable that he has a very accomplished grandfather and a family with a long history of learning.
"Waiter, could you please prepare a set of the finest writing implements for me?" Li Zhiwei said to the waiter.
"Alright!" The waiter deftly took out a set of writing implements from the counter behind him, which Li Zhiwei thought looked pretty good.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingshi pulled Li Zhiwei to a bookshelf and pointed to a thick book, "Youxue Qionglin" and "Guwen Guanzhi," saying, "Mother, let's bring some books for Wei Herui too. He'll surely be very happy!"
Xu Qingshi chuckled inwardly, knowing that Wei Herui would surely break down and cry when he saw these things.
The thought of seeing Wei Herui cry soon made Xu Qingshi grin from ear to ear.
"Can he really understand this book?" Li Zhiwei asked Xu Qingshi with some suspicion.
"Yes, he definitely can, he's incredibly capable!" Xu Qingshi told a little lie without batting an eye.
"Madam has excellent taste. The young master is so young, yet he can already read this book. Madam, we also have the Four Books and Five Classics here, which are suitable for the young master. They are all illustrated versions, which are unique to our bookstore. Why don't you take a couple of copies for the young master as well?" The waiter's eyes lit up when he saw the books in Li Zhiwei's hands.
He quickly stepped forward and took out two books from the bookshelf next to him that were slightly different from the ordinary Four Books and Five Classics, and handed them to Li Zhiwei.
Li Zhiwei was taken aback at first, but then she realized that Wei Herui, who was the same age as Xu Qingshi, was already reading the "Elementary Learning Classics," so Xu Qingshi naturally couldn't fall behind.
"Waiter, I'll have another one, please wrap them up for me!" Li Zhiwei decided, and she bought one for Xu Qingshi as well.
"Mother, one serving for Wei and Rui is enough." Xu Qingshi was puzzled; why did his mother need two servings?
Isn't one serving enough?
“Give him one, and you get one!” Li Zhi said with a smile.
Xu Qingshi stared at Li Zhiwei in shock.
