After a brief exchange, Wen Ye also had a preliminary impression of Xu Yuxuan, the enlightenment teacher.
He is knowledgeable and humorous, and his words and actions are free and easy.
This is the first time Wen Ye has seen someone of his age with such a mentality.
Xu Yuejia actually found such an enlightenment teacher for Xu Yuxuan.
What a surprise.
Xu Baili drank the cup of tea offered by Xu Yuxuan and said with emotion: "From now on, I am your master."
Xu Yuxuan clasped her hands together and saluted him, still with a confused look and tone, "Xuan'er~Bye, sir!"
Xu Yuejia corrected him from the side: "Greetings."
Xu Yuxuan changed his tone: "Greetings!"
The internal energy is quite sufficient.
Xu Baili was not the kind of person who would calculate. He stroked Xu Yuxuan's round head and said, "You are much more interesting than your father."
Perhaps he understood a little bit of what Xu Baili meant, and Xu Yuxuan nodded seriously.
Seeing this, Xu Baili finally felt a little excited about his promise to Xu Yuejia to come to Shengjing to be his son's enlightenment teacher.
He originally thought that he would see a small replica of Xu Yuejia, but unexpectedly he was given a surprise.
And it's not small.
It’s interesting to teach children like this.
After serving tea to the gentleman, Xu Yuxuan began to truly enlighten him.
However, considering his young age, we currently only have one hour in the morning, from noon to noon. There are three days off in January, so we will do this until the end of the year. After he celebrates his third birthday, we will add two more classes in the afternoon.
One class for literature and one class for martial arts.
In the future, as you grow older, you will add more.
The son of a Duke's mansion, no matter whether he is good at literature or martial arts, cannot completely neglect the other. He does not have to be proficient in either, but he must be able to do both.
There is no need to look for another martial arts master, as there are always soldiers in the military camp who have to retire due to physical disabilities.
Duke Xu chose martial arts masters for his two sons from among these people. The kung fu does not need to be very good, as long as the basic skills are solid. It is only the enlightenment stage, and the most important thing is to lay a good foundation.
Currently, this martial arts master has only one student, Xu Jinglin. Next year, there will be another student, Xu Yuxuan.
As the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, Xu Jingrong was destined to join the army. After laying the foundation for four or five years, he was now learning the moves.
Perhaps it was because Xu Baili was really different from others, Xu Yuxuan was not too averse when he heard that he wanted to study with him.
He has been playing with the pig-faced figurine and bamboo dragonfly given to him by Xu Baili in his hands.
With the familiar Nanny Ji and He Xiang Honeysuckle around, and a new playmate, Xu Yuxuan was only slightly troubled by Wen Ye and Xu Yuejia's departure, and said, "Come and pick up Xuan'er!"
After getting the guarantee, he turned around and continued playing with the pig mask.
Back in the West Courtyard, Wen Ye was a little curious: "How did you get to know Mr. Xu?"
Xu Yuejia simply recounted: "A few years ago, I was ordered to go to Wuzhou to handle a case. On the way, I passed by Tangshui Village under the jurisdiction of Yushui County. Mr. Xu passed by this place before me. He encountered injustice and stood up for himself. He was hit on the head by a local villager. I saved him."
Wen Ye still had some questions: "What happened later? Why did he unilaterally call you his sworn brother?"
Speaking of this, Xu Yuejia was at a loss for words for a moment, and then said with an expression that was difficult to describe: "At that time, he said that he was old enough to be my elder, and that he should recognize me as his brother and raise my status as a reward for saving his life."
Wen Ye couldn't help laughing out loud. She could imagine what kind of expression Xu Yuejia would have when Xu Baili first made this request.
"Then my lord has invited him to be Xuan'er's enlightenment teacher. Aren't you afraid that he will 'corrupt' Xuan'er?" Wen Ye asked after laughing.
Xu Yuejia replied: "Master Yan is not suitable for Xuan'er's personality."
Wen Ye agreed with this point, and she added: "For example, Xuan'er can't adapt to someone like Langjun."
Xu Yuejia tilted her head to look at her and said, "I'm just busy with official duties and haven't studied the specific method yet."
Before he could finish his words, Wen Ye said, "I understand, my lord, you don't need to explain."
Xu Yuejia changed the subject abruptly: "...I still have some official business to attend to."
Wen Ye reminded: "Don't forget to pick up Xuan'er at 9:00 p.m."
After all, it is the child’s first day of school, and since you have promised him, it is best not to break the promise.
Just this once anyway.
Xu Yuejia, who had already walked out of the main hall, replied, "Remember."
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Wen Ye put down the storybook, straightened her clothes, and said to Tao Zhi who had just come in, "Is my husband here?"
Taozhi nodded.
Wen Ye immediately stood up and said, "It's time to pick up that kid."
Xu Yuxuan's class was held in the study room in the courtyard where Xu Baili was temporarily staying.
However, there is an attic there. Lu slightly changed the layout, so that when looking down from above, one can have a panoramic view of the spring scenery.
Moreover, the attic is in the shade, so when the weather gets hot, you can move to the attic to study and it won’t be too hot.
It’s only a quarter of an hour’s walk from the West Courtyard.
Xu Yuxuan, carrying a small satchel, had been standing in front of the door waiting for a long time.
Finally, he saw the two of them and was about to go over, but Nanny Ji stopped him and whispered, "Young Master, you haven't said goodbye to the master yet."
Xu Yuxuan pouted, no longer as close to Xu Baili as she was an hour ago.
Xu Baili sat aside, smiling, sipping tea nonchalantly.
He doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Just as Wen Ye and Xu Yuejia were approaching, Xu Yuxuan slowly moved his steps, turned sideways and saluted Xu Baili in a formal manner: "Xuan'er bids farewell, sir."
This time he didn't say 'Mr. Bye'.
Xu Baili nodded slightly and said gently, "Go back with your father and mother, and come back tomorrow."
Xu Yuxuan seemed to understand and even hummed softly.
Wen Ye walked over and happened to hear him humph. She glanced at the small bag on his body and said with a smile, "Is this the school bag that the teacher gave you?"
Xu Yuxuan touched the strap across his chest and nodded his head.
Lu also prepared a school bag for Xu Yuxuan, but it was obvious that Xu Yuxuan liked the one embroidered with a little tiger head more.
Wen Ye took a look and found that the bag was filled with a pig-faced figurine, a bamboo helicopter, and other miscellaneous things, but no books.
The one containing the books is in Nanny Ji's arms.
When Xu Baili saw Xu Yuejia, he said, "Zitan, my sworn brother."
Xu Yuejia did not respond.
Wen Ye called him, "Mr. Xu."
Xu Baili nodded and said, "Sister-in-law."
Xu Yuejia, Wen Ye: "......"
The family of three bid farewell to Xu Baili and walked out of the yard.
On the way, Wen Ye asked, "What did the teacher teach Xuan'er?"
Xu Yuxuan walked between her and Xu Yuejia and said in a childish voice, "Word search game~"
Then his eyelids drooped, "Xuan'er always loses."
Wen Ye raised an eyebrow and asked, "What happens after losing? No punishment?"
When Xu Yuxuan heard her question, he pursed his lips and said, "Yes, the master is also broken!"
He looked up at Xu Yuejia and added, "Same as my father."
Wen Ye understood that the punishment was probably to make Xu Yuxuan study with him.
She then asked, "Do you want to come tomorrow?"
Xu Yuxuan was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "I want to... learn to read!"
Then he shook his head again, "I don't want to study."
Wen Ye suppressed his smile and said, "Yes, Xuan'er needs to learn to read well. Only when you can learn all the words can you win the game. You don't need to study anymore."
Xu Yuxuan nodded heavily, "Yes!"
The little fist clenched quietly.
