Wang Xiuhe introduced An'an with a smile: "An'an, this is Fu Linqing, who studies at the academy in the city."
"Lin Qing, this is An An. She got lost and has amnesia. She'll be staying with us for a while."
Fu Linqing was only ten years old and looked very young, but she was clearly a head taller than eight-year-old An'an.
He had a handsome face, slender eyebrows and eyes, a focused gaze, and a constant smile at the corners of his eyes.
The slightly rounded nose tip breaks through the coldness of the face, making people feel close.
Fu Linqing looked at An'an with the same kind eyes she would give a younger brother next door: "Oh, An'an? You can come to me if you need any help."
Thank you.
An'an lowered her head, not wanting to speak.
Tian Yexiang muttered, "He acts all high and mighty every day."
If it weren't for him, this undeserved disaster wouldn't have happened today!
How dare you be so arrogant?!
If she were the head of her husband's family, she'd kick him out in a heartbeat! qqxδnew
"No, it's not that! An'an just doesn't like Qing-gege being taller than her! Hahaha!"
The chubby little Liu Liu happily revealed the truth.
An An said proudly, "I'm younger than him. If I were the same age as him, I definitely wouldn't be shorter than him."
“Yes, An’an is right.” Fu Linqing’s gentleness was like the first spring breeze.
His smiling, agreeable expression only made An An even angrier.
Shen Liuliu shook her head and said, "Haha, An'an, you little dwarf."
"You're shorter!"
An'an retorted angrily like a child.
Then she added, "Short and chubby."
Shen Liuliu yelled and charged over, muttering, "You actually called me fat! I'll beat you to a pulp!"
An'an stopped her with one hand, and calmly pulled off the hair accessory from Liu Liu's head with the other. The little bun on Shen Liu Liu's head still stood upright in the wind! It was clear how stiff her hair was.
An'an said mischievously, "Oh, short and chubby with little hair."
"Wow!"
Shen Liuliu was so angry she almost cried. Without hesitation, she lowered her head and bit the other person's hand!
"Oh dear, why is it biting me!" Wang Xiuhe, who was closest, quickly stopped it.
Fu Linqing tried even harder to separate the two: "Liu Liu, don't bite your brother."
For some reason, An'an actually laughed when she saw Shen Liuliu, who was furious and acting like a little beast.
It was a very happy feeling.
Fireworks seemed to explode in his usually indifferent eyes.
Forced to let go, Shen Liuliu childishly shouted, "I never want to play with you again!"
An'an calmly pulled out the remaining silver: "Sigh, I was planning to buy candy, new clothes, and so on to whoever plays with me tomorrow..."
"You can't fight me for it tomorrow either! I love playing with An'an the most!"
After saying that, she cupped her chubby little face and smiled sweetly.
Everyone: ...
Fu Linqing smiled and shook her head.
Xiao Lou shouted, "I want to play with An An too!"
In the blink of an eye, Shen Liuliu was fighting with her nephew Xiaolou again!
Watching the children playing together, Shen Erming's eyes were filled with longing and envy.
His eyes involuntarily glanced at Tian Yexiang, who was making dumplings.
The latter followed his gaze, then playfully bumped into him with a shy expression, whispering with a laugh, "You rascal, where are you looking?"
Shen Erming: ...
While they were making dumplings, Fu Linqing gathered the little ones together and used a twig to write words on the ground to teach them.
Every child studied very diligently, and An'an listened attentively as well.
Later, seeing Liu Liu looking at Fu Linqing with admiration, he also said a few words.
And then—
“An’an, your explanation is novel. Although it is different from what the gentleman said, I think you are right.”
"An'an, how should this sentence be said?"
“An’an, you say…”
The situation was getting increasingly out of control. An'an didn't understand; he clearly wanted to show off and make Liu Liu admire him.
How did it turn into Fu Linqing asking him for academic advice?
"An'an, your knowledge is truly outstanding. If you were to participate in the imperial examinations, you would surely pass!"
Fu Linqing looked at An An with starry eyes, extremely excited.
An An modestly replied, "Your knowledge is also quite good."
His knowledge was taught by the best scholars of the time. If it still couldn't amaze a country boy, then wouldn't all his learning have been in vain?
However, this child is quite knowledgeable, especially in attitude; he is eager to learn, which is very admirable.
"Wow, is An'an really that amazing?" Wu Tiao and his two nephews were all surprised.
An An slightly curved her lips.
Before he could answer, Fu Linqing said excitedly and proudly, "Of course! I've studied for six years, and I'm still not as good as An'an!"
What's with that arrogant tone?
Only Shen Liuliu looked at An'an with suspicion.
Brother Qing is a well-known child prodigy, with great talent and a willingness to work hard.
Moreover, Aunt Fu was willing to spend money, so she sent Fu Linqing to a private school in town when he was three years old.
When Fu Linqing turned seven, everyone praised him for being smart and promising. Fu's parents gritted their teeth and sent their son to the prestigious school in the city.
How could someone like Fu Linqing actually worship An An's scholarship?
What kind of background does An'an have?
And today's dramatic scene at the yamen, was it because Lord Zheng was so discerning, or because... someone did something wrong?
Shen Liuliu's thoughts drifted far away.
After eating dumplings, she secretly ran out and instructed the sparrows and other animals to find out where An'an came from on the day he was found!
And what about today's events? Do they have anything to do with An An?
I had just finished giving the instructions when I heard a question from behind me.
"Liu Liu, what are you doing?"
It's Shen Tiantian.
It was a rare occasion to have dumplings today, so Shen Wanli delivered a bowl of dumplings to the old man and woman, and also called Shen Tiantian over.
Recently, whenever there's something delicious at home, Shen Wanli calls Shen Tiantian over.
At first, Madam Zhou shamelessly brought her grandson over, but after being chased away by Shen Wanli, she simply stopped caring.
This way, we can save on food at home.
But after Shen Tiantian returned home, she was always secretly beaten and scolded by Da Zhou Shi.
No one knew this. Shen Tiantian didn't want to cause trouble for her kind-hearted uncle and aunt, so she never mentioned it.
"Huh? It's nothing, hehe." Shen Liuli made a face and ran back into the house.
Shen Tiantian smiled as she watched Liu Liu running around like a gust of wind.
Then he looked up at the spot where Shen Liuliu had just been standing, lost in thought.
——
Ouch!
Shen Liuliu crashed headfirst into a wall of flesh and fell flat on her backside!
It landed on its back with its four feet in the air.
It flailed its short arms and legs a few times, but still couldn't get up!
"Pfft, haha. Mom and Dad, look! My little sister looks like a little turtle!"
Wu Tiao mocked them without any restraint.
"If your sister is a little bastard, then aren't you one too? You idiot!"
Shen Wanli kicked his youngest son and scolded him, "Try bullying your sister again!"
He jumped five times, shouting that he was wronged.
Shen Wanli picked up his daughter, then looked at the uninvited guests, feeling annoyed, and immediately put on a sullen face.
