"Of course, as long as Changsheng studies hard, he will definitely become a high-ranking official in the future, even more successful than your second uncle!"
Sister-in-law Chi patted her youngest son's head to encourage him.
Chang Sheng retorted, "I'm better than him."
The "he" here naturally refers to Huo Chenyi.
"Want to be better than me? With your current condition? Don't even dream about it."
Huo Chenyi sneered at Changsheng.
Changsheng couldn't stand this the most, and immediately jumped up and shouted, "I've already promised my aunt that I'm going to study! I'll definitely be better than you."
That way, everyone in the family will always be watching him!
"Oh, you think you can surpass me just by studying and casually fooling around? Don't dream about it."
When I was three, I already knew quite a few characters, and I practiced martial arts for two hours every day. You probably can't even last two hours eating now, can you?
"You're talking nonsense! I will definitely study hard and become better than you!" Changsheng's eyes darted around, and he said, "If I go to school and the teacher praises me for being good, you will teach me martial arts!"
This person is so amazing, if he teaches me, I'll definitely become amazing too!
Sister-in-law Chi hurriedly said, "Changsheng, if you want to practice martial arts, how about I find someone for you? Brother Chenyi is very busy."
Moreover, Chen Yi will be heading to the South China Sea soon, so he won't have much time to concern himself with the matter of Changsheng practicing martial arts.
Chang Sheng jumped up and down: "I don't want it! I want him!"
Huo Chenyi said coldly, "You want me to teach you, and I'm just going to? Who do you think you are?"
This kind of kid just needs to be disciplined.
Chang Sheng's eyes reddened, feeling somewhat aggrieved, but she didn't cry; she just stubbornly looked at Huo Chenyi.
“Alright then, I’ll find you an even more skilled person to teach you martial arts. If you can get him to praise you, I’ll give you a horse. Of course, you also need to get praise from your teacher for your studies.”
"A horse? Really?"
Changsheng's eyes lit up.
That would be so cool.
"certainly."
Huo Chenyi readily agreed.
Changsheng immediately ran over and, in a serious manner, stretched out his little hand and said, "Then clap your hands, so you won't cheat."
"Heh, you'd better pray you don't cheat. The master I hired for you is the number one swordsman in the world, and his standards are extremely high. Don't let him kick you out after just two days and refuse to teach you anymore."
Huo Chenyi was referring to the sword fanatic Ru Fan!
Changsheng raised his head high, his face full of defiance: "Just you wait and see, I'll buy you a horse!"
Next time, he wants Huo Chenyi's horse!
Neither of them would give in, and they talked very quickly.
No one expected that Huo Chenyi would actually pay attention to Changsheng, and even less expected that Huo Chenyi would use such a clever provocation, and Changsheng jumped down without even blinking.
"Isn't that unfair? Brother Chenyi has hired a master for you and bought you a horse. What if you can't keep it up? You'll have to lose something to Brother Chenyi, right?"
Chi Tang smiled and teased her nephew.
But to everyone's surprise, Changsheng was quite clever. He immediately puffed out his little belly and proudly said:
"I have nothing. Do you think my parents can lose to Brother Chenyi in any way?"
Make him vomit?
No way.
"That kid is really stingy," Old Man Chi said, smacking his lips.
Huo Chenyi didn't say anything, he just snorted coldly.
That cold snort must have struck a nerve with Changsheng, because it made the kid suddenly jump out and start yelling.
"I... I'll wager this jade pendant of immortality!"
Changsheng took out a jade pendant from his clothes and said arrogantly, "This jade pendant was offered to my great-grandmother at the Xiangguo Temple for a long time and was blessed by a master. It's very powerful."
Putting everything else aside, the jade pendant has a smooth texture, a warm and smooth feel, and a flawless luster that shimmers in the sunlight!
It's clearly a piece of top-quality jade.
Putting everything else aside, the things that Old Madam Yang gave to Changsheng were definitely not substandard.
"Can."
Huo Chenyi readily agreed.
Changsheng held the jade pendant, his gaze suddenly softening, and then he made another request:
"If I win, you have to let me go back! I miss my great-grandmother."
“Going back is impossible. Great-Grandma is too old, and you’re too noisy.”
Aunt Chi instinctively rejected it.
Changsheng ran over and pleaded, "I won't cause any trouble."
“No, your great-grandmother doesn’t like having children around her now.”
"...If I win, can I go back to see my great-grandmother and stay with her for a few days?"
Changsheng was smart and knew that his family wouldn't spoil him like his great-grandmother did, so he immediately changed his address and stopped dawdling.
This is actually an experience gained from many failures.
From initially throwing tantrums and making a scene to no avail, to now immediately changing her tune.
"……Can."
Aunt Chi hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
She also really wanted to see how the old lady was doing now.
Although she knew Madam Yang wouldn't make things difficult for the old lady, and she had promised her before, but...
Whenever I think about it, I can't help but worry about it.
"Alright, Changsheng, thank Brother Chenyi." Sister-in-law Chi felt a little uncomfortable seeing how much Changsheng cared about Old Madam Yang.
She was not grateful at all for the old lady's kindness to Changsheng.
If Changsheng had continued to grow up by her side, she would have treated him very well and wouldn't have mistreated him.
Just thinking about how the old lady raised Changsheng to be like this makes Sister-in-law Chi unable to forgive herself.
"Thank you, I will definitely be better than you." Changsheng first thanked him obediently, and then shouted loudly.
