Chapter 145 Applause for the Second Aunt

Xu Wan recalled the last time the little devil left the Cuju field in anger and was so poor that he couldn't even afford a bowl of pear juice. At that time, even she was considering whether to give him some money, but after the boy came back, he didn't mention asking for money at all.

The little devil seems to be eating and drinking recklessly, but once he gets used to a lifestyle, he will not change it easily.

She turned her head to Cui Liu and said, "Go find someone to find out where they went, who they met, and what they did."

"yes."

After Cui Liu left, Xu Wan lost all desire to sleep.

She began to wonder what the little devil was going to do, but without any specific clues, she couldn't figure it out, so she had to go to Bailiweihong to discuss the etiquette class starting tomorrow.

the other side.

As soon as the two brothers went out, they headed straight for the slums.

Because Zong Wenxiu said he didn't want money to buy a house, the little devil gave up asking Xu Wan for the one thousand taels of silver. The two now wanted to find the young man who asked for brown rice porridge.

According to the time calculation, the boy should be sixteen years old.

Zong Wenxiu actually felt that it was difficult to find it, but his brother insisted on looking for it and wanted to help the boy, so he had no choice but to follow him.

The slums have remained dark, damp, dirty and messy for years. The place where the boy once lived has long since become a ruin. Zong Wenxiu went to ask the old lady next to him if she knew where the boy had gone.

The old woman’s voice was distant and tired: “He’s crazy, gone, dead, and can’t be found any more.”

…

After the little devil returned home, he was still in a heavy mood. He asked, "Brother, I remember Jing Jing once said that people in the slums would not live to adulthood. Is it really so cruel?"

Zong Wenxiu was silent for a while, then said, "Yes, there are only a few. So it is normal that the young man is not alive."

"Normal?" Zong Jincheng frowned.

Why is it that something so easy for outsiders is so difficult for the people there?

The little devil asked in confusion: "The court, why don't you help the people there?"

The book says that all officials receive a salary from the emperor, so they should relieve the emperor's worries and work for the people.

But the slums are right under the emperor's feet, and all kinds of tragedies are happening there every day. Why doesn't anyone come out to rescue them?

Zong Wenxiu said: "Maybe no one noticed this place, maybe the rescue was not available, or maybe no officials were willing to help."

Zong Jincheng tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Then we can help them when we become officials in the future."

Since no one else is doing it, they will do it.

Zong Wenxiu smiled and agreed, "Okay, then we'll help them when we become officials."

The little devil raised his head and said with determination: "Then I must study hard. As long as I pass the imperial examination, I can become a sixth-rank official!"

"Yes, the starting point for a sixth-rank official is the highest, and we must do well in the exam!" Zong Wenxiu echoed.

The two brothers hit it off immediately and quickly returned to the study to start reading.

At this time, there are still eight hours before the teachers return.

The person sent by Cui Liu came back and ended the mission after reporting the whereabouts of the two people. Xu Wan was confused.

Go find a crazy teenager?

Didn’t find it and came back to study again?

He didn't spend any money, let alone ask for another 1,000 taels of silver...

What are these two little devils doing secretly?

During dinner, the little devil suddenly realized: "Where is my grandmother? Where is my grandfather?"

Today was his birthday, and he hadn't even finished his birthday party yet, so why did he just leave? Without even saying hello?

My grandmother said that we would talk about setting goals after my birthday...how could she be gone so suddenly?

The little devil immediately glared at Xu Wan and guessed, "You must have said something to your grandparents, which is why they left in such a hurry!"

Xu Wan said nonchalantly, "Your grandparents left on their own initiative, for the same reason they left last time. Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm too lazy to make up a reason to lie to you."

The little devil continued to glare at her: "You must be talking nonsense. They left last time because I made trouble at your wedding. But this time I didn't do anything bad, and they kept praising me for my great progress, being well-behaved and obedient!"

Xu Wan said, "Then why did you go to see them last night? Did you go to show your filial piety by pouring water for grandparents to wash their feet?"

Little Devil: “…”

The young man blushed instantly. What was he doing talking about bringing foot-washing water to show his filial piety? He was clearly going to ask his grandparents for money.

Zong Jincheng argued: "But they didn't give me any money!"

"It's hard to say if we stay for another day." Xu Wan glanced at him, "Isn't that right, our confident Young Master Jin Cheng?"

Zong Jincheng's face turned even redder, and his sides felt like they were on fire, and even the bases of his ears were red.

Abominable.

How come this woman can grasp him so accurately?

He was just like a naked butt in front of her. Whatever he did or thought could be discovered by her. It was totally unreasonable!

"snort!"

The little devil snorted heavily, buried his head in eating his meal, and ignored her again.

Just wait, Xu Wan.

I ate a lot, grew taller and bigger quickly, read a lot of books, and became more and more powerful.

By then, I will make you speechless and so angry that you will jump up and down!

Xu Wan rolled her eyes at his angry head and muttered, "Little fool."

After the person concerned heard this, he glared at her fiercely again.

Xu Wan: “…”

You have really good ears.

Early the next morning, the teachers returned to work. Encouraged by the high monthly salary, they were full of energy and ready to face the next stage of challenges.

After Xu Wan introduced Baili Weihong, the new etiquette teacher, to everyone, the little devil took the lead in applauding, and it was obvious that he liked her very much.

As the most difficult No. 1 seed player in the key class, he will definitely make life easy for the new teacher. The three private coaches quickly applauded and cast envious glances at him.

Baili Xi smiled and nodded at her, then gave the podium to her.

"Hello, students. I am the new etiquette teacher, Baili Weihong. I will teach you the most basic etiquette lessons from now on."

As soon as Bailiweihong finished speaking, the little devil started clapping again.

Zong Wenxiu was amused by him, and while clapping, he pushed his shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, calm down."

The little devil said, "I'm just cheering for the second aunt."

Zong Wenxiu said helplessly: "Okay, then you continue to help."

The little devil happily started quacking again.

"Knocking on the door also has its own etiquette. When we knock on the door, we should knock once, pause, and then knock twice in succession. This is so that the person inside can hear us and show respect and courtesy, and it gives the host time to tidy up his appearance." Baili Weihong added, "Don't knock too many times, as it can easily startle others."

Zong Wenxiu nodded, and the little devil also nodded vigorously.

Although it was obvious that the example given by the second aunt seemed to be referring to him.

But it must be a coincidence...
