Chapter 209 Waiting for a Night

Seeing that no matter how she begged, Mrs. Wei was unmoved, Zhou Wuniang became anxious and blurted out, "Are you worried that our Qian An will steal Liu Ge'er's limelight?"

Mrs. Wei was stunned, and her surprised look brought Zhou Wu's mother back to her senses.

Zhou Wu's mother knew that she had said something wrong, so she patted her own lips lightly and said, "Auntie, I was so confused just now. Qian'an and Liu'er are brothers who have a very good relationship, so there is no question of competing for the limelight...Auntie, think about it, the other three children in your family are not good at studying, but with my Qian'an here, they can support each other, and they will have a companion when they take the imperial examinations in the future..."

When Mrs. Wei heard this, she became unhappy.

What does "the other three kids are not good at studying" mean?

Although it is the truth, why is it so unpleasant to hear?

Mrs. Wei said calmly, "Whether he is a good student or not is not important. My family doesn't want our child to be blind."

Zhou Wu Niang endured it and did not refute.

She had previously thought that the Yu family was sending all four children to school because they had money to burn.

But at this moment she needed help from others, so she could only obey Grandma Wei in everything.

"Yes, yes, auntie is right. But isn't this the same thing?" Zhou Wu's mother pleaded, "Brother Liu doesn't have to do anything, he just needs to bring Qian'an to the great scholar Liu..."

However, no matter how Zhou Wu Niang begged, Mrs. Wei refused to give in.

Finally, on Friday, my mother left with the basket of eggs in disappointment.

After Zhou Wu's mother left, Mrs. Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

She always cared about the study situation of several children in the county and would often talk to her grandchildren about what was happening in school.

Wang Qianan used to be in the village school. Perhaps because there were not many children going there, he was naturally able to stand out.

But ever since Liu Ge'er and the others entered school, with Liu Ge'er, a natural born scholar, competing with them, Wang Qian'an's performance was not so impressive.

Needless to say, after arriving in the county, Wang Qianan's performance in the county school could only be described as average.

Not to mention Liu Ge'er, he can't even compare to the smart and clever Bo Ge'er.

But Zhou Wu's mother probably wouldn't believe this.

She always felt that her son was the most knowledgeable person in the world and no one could compare to him.

Even though Liu Ge'er is doing better than his own son in academics now, it is only because Liu Ge'er is a little smart.

When it comes to the scientific examination, Xiao Congming won’t care!

For so many years, Zhou Wu's mother's expectations of her son have been blind.

But Mrs. Wei, an outsider, saw it clearly.

How could Mrs. Wei bring this up with Brother Liu?

Mrs. Wei just felt a headache.

Xingxing ran in and saw Grandma Wei massaging her forehead. She felt distressed: "Grandma, where do you feel uncomfortable? Xingxing will massage it for you."

Mrs. Wei smiled and said it was okay.

Xingxing whispered, "Xingxing heard everything. Did grandma have a fight with Aunt Zhou?"

She took out the candy Zhou's mother had given her just now, "...why don't you give this candy back to Aunt Zhou?"

Mrs. Wei felt extremely sad and tender-hearted.

She hugged Xing Xing and said, "My dear grandson, you don't have to return it. Grandma is fine. Don't worry."

Xingxing asked again and again, but Mrs. Wei just said it was okay.

But Xingxing was still worried and insisted on staying with Mrs. Wei.

With such a sweet little girl by her side, Mrs. Wei was not unhappy at all. She soon forgot about Zhou Wu's mother coming to see her.

…

At this moment, many students gathered in the open space at the gate of Liu's villa, some were talking loudly, some were reciting poems and composing couplets.

I just hope that Master Liu can recognize heroes, discover their extraordinary talents, and accept them as his disciples.

With so many people gathered in front of the Liu family villa, Yu Siyang squatting not too far away did not seem out of place at all.

However, Yu Siyang waited for a long time but did not see Awu go out or return home.

Yu Siyang was extremely anxious.

He knew that Ah Wu loved to play and didn't go out. Could it be that he was really sick?

Yu Siyang squatted there until evening. Most of the talented scholars outside the Liu family's villa had left, but he was still squatting there stubbornly.

He has a simple nature like a child, and sometimes he is stubborn in doing things.

For example, right now, his obsession is to see with his own eyes that Awu is okay.

However, until the moon rose above the willows, Yu Siyang still couldn't squat down to see Awu.

Finally, it was the guard who had previously followed Ah Wu to the Yu family store. When he was taking over shifts, he went out of the house to do some things and saw Yu Siyang squatting on the side of the road in the wild.

After all, it was night and the guards were so far away that they could only see a silhouette and could not recognize who it was.

The guards had their hands on the scabbards at their waists.

It was not until he got closer and recognized Yu Siyang in the cool moonlight.

The guard was startled: "... Fourth Master Yu?"

Yu Siyang also recognized that this was the guard who had come to their store with A Wu before.

Yu Siyang was overjoyed and jumped up excitedly.

As a result, his legs were numb from squatting, and after he jumped up, he fell straight into the field.

The guard was shocked: "Master Yu!"

He quickly helped the man up.

Yu Siyang couldn't take care of his own legs, so he asked the guard, "Where is Ah Wu?"

The guard had received instructions from Old Lady Liu to just protect Miss Awu and not to worry about who she met.

The guards could more or less guess that this "Master Yu Si" was different in the eyes of Miss Awu.

So, when he asked about Ah Wu's recent situation, the guard hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "At this hour, I think the young lady should rest."

Yu Siyang asked nervously, "Brother Guard, is Ah Wu sick?"

The guard was stunned. He hadn't heard the news that Miss Awu was ill.

"This... I haven't heard of it." The guard only followed Ah Wu when she left the house, so he didn't know anything else.

Yu Siyang breathed a sigh of relief.

If you haven't heard of it, then you are definitely not sick.

"Then I'm relieved..." Yu Siyang murmured, but turned around and limped away.

The guard was startled: "Master Yu, where are you going?"

Yu Siyang smiled at the guards and said, "I'm relieved that Ah Wu is okay. I'm going home."

The guard was so shocked that he was speechless.

At this time, the doorman also came out and chatted with the guard: "Do you know that man? He seems to be an idiot. He has been squatting there for several hours."

The guards were even more shocked. Fourth Master Yu had been waiting for so long just to know if Miss Awu was okay?

He hesitated for a moment, but still chased after him: "Master Yu, wait a minute!"

Yu Siyang was a little surprised, but still stopped as he was told.

The guard said quickly, "Please wait here for a moment. I will go and ask Master Mao for instructions."

Yu Siyang didn't know who Master Mao was, but he had heard Ah Wu mention "Master Mao" and thought it was the same person.

Yu Siyang did not ask what he wanted to consult with Master Mao. The guards asked him to wait here for a while, so he stood there and waited.
