Chapter 19: The Weird Way of Endorsement

Zong Wenxiu subconsciously grabbed the table beside him and suddenly felt an urge to run in this tense atmosphere.

Brother, you're not going to hit him, are you?

The little devil leaned over and flexed his wrist. In front of his half-brother's slightly horrified gaze, he threatened fiercely: "From today on, you don't have to memorize the lessons. Wait until I surpass you, then you can study again!"

Zong Wenxiu: “…”

Very good, just as overbearing and unreasonable as the rumors say.

but……

"Then when can you catch up with me?" He started studying later than other children. If he waited for Zong Jincheng for a while, he would probably be left behind again.

Zong Jincheng glanced at the bowl-high books on the table again and gave an uncertain time: "About a month."

It would take Zong Wenxiu, a concubine's son, several months to learn something, but as a smart and clever legitimate son, he would definitely be able to memorize it in just one month.

Zong Wenxiu hesitated for a few seconds, then remembered the kindness he had shown to his mother. He finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you for a month. During this month, in addition to learning what Master Baili taught me, I will only review the old knowledge and not learn anything new."

The little devil originally wanted him to stop listening to what the teacher taught him, but he was afraid that it would be too obvious and be discovered by that bad woman Xu Wan, so he agreed reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll keep you as my brother for now."

Zong Wenxiu smiled and said, "Take a look at these books first. There are some unfamiliar characters in them that are difficult to understand. I can explain them to you one by one."

Zong Jincheng felt overwhelmed when he heard this.

He waved his hand and refused: "No, I just need to memorize these things and pass the teacher's test smoothly."

The specific meaning is, whoever wants to understand can understand, he doesn’t want to understand anyway!

The little devil's learning journey was very smooth.

Although he was a mean person, he had a smart mind. He could open a book and read a sentence, then close his eyes and recite it word for word.

Read a sentence, recite a sentence;

Open your eyes, close your eyes;

Remember, remember again...

Zong Wenxiu was amazed!

He thought he was a very smart person and studied very hard, so he caught up with others' records that took several years in just a few months.

But, how can anyone remember something just by reciting a sentence?

Is my younger brother a genius?

Zong Jincheng's mouth was dry from memorizing the text. After just a few pages, he felt tired in his eyes, mouth, and heart.

Shunzi was particularly attentive and poured tea for him.

While the little devil was drinking tea, Zong Wenxiu finally came to his senses and exclaimed, "You are amazing! I have never seen anyone memorize so quickly!"

At this rate, let alone one month, as long as he works harder, he can catch up with his progress in half a month.

Zong Wenxiu felt the pressure all of a sudden!

However, the little devil did not feel complacent about it. Instead, he slumped down on a chair, closed his eyes, and said like a master: "I don't want to watch it anymore. My eyes are so tired."

Zong Wenxiu: “…”

If he remembered correctly, you had only read the book for less than a quarter of an hour.

This is already tiring. How can he bear it when he has to read for six hours every day?

Shunzi was a man with a particularly keen eye. He stepped forward and began to massage the little devil's shoulders and back, helping the little ancestor, who became tired after just a quarter of an hour of studying, to relieve his fatigue.

Zong Jincheng hummed with comfort as he thought about the books he hadn't memorized. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he came up with a wonderful way to memorize the books!

"Shunzi, you come to study, I won't watch anymore."

Anyway, you will remember it after reading it once. There is no difference between listening to someone else reading it and reading it yourself!

Shunzi: “?!”

Is it still possible? ?

Shunzi was the only educated servant that Xu Wan left for him, and he was just the right person to help the little devil with his evil tricks.

Thus, Zong Wenxiu, whose door to a new world was opened, saw the master and servant begin to endorse each other in an evil way.

I read one sentence in order and my younger brother recites it.

He is like this...

I actually memorized it!

Zong Wenxiu felt that he needed some quiet time.

This made him, who always believed that hard work can make up for his shortcomings, fall into deep doubt...

Main courtyard.

Xu Wan listened to Cui Liu's real-time report and spat out the tea she was drinking. "This bastard has been thinking of some evil tricks every day. He only knows how to post on Facebook. When he sits in the examination room during the exam, he will be very lucky if he can write his own name!"

Cui Liu said, "But now he has made great progress. The young master never even memorized a book before, and even the old marquis didn't know that his memory was so good."

Cuizhi also covered her mouth and laughed, "With the young master's intelligence and energy, if he can study hard, he will definitely bring honor to our Marquis' Mansion. And Master Baili's face will not be so ugly."

She and Cui Liu were both family-born. They had watched how Zong Zhao was praised by Master Baili since they were young. Now, seeing the old master's attitude towards the young master, they suddenly felt that there was a world of difference.

Xu Wan nodded and expressed her approval of Zong Jincheng's talent. However, the way he looked lazy while memorizing made it hard to believe how long he could work hard. She estimated that he would only be unwilling to memorize for half an hour at most.

However, the people around the little devil can be used.

Xu Wan arranged for Cuizhi, "Later, go and tell Shunzi privately that I saw that he was working hard to accompany the young master to study, so I will double his monthly salary so that he can study hard. If the young master catches up with Master Xiu's progress, I will triple his monthly salary."

Cuizhi was a little moved when she heard this.

Although Shunzi's tripled salary is not as high as their eldest girl's, but who would not be moved by this kind of increase of doubling the original monthly salary!

Cuizhi asked, "Madam, do you want to persuade Shunzi to join us?"

If they can pull Shunzi smoothly, then everyone around the young master will be surrounded by Xu Wan. In Go, this will become a dead end. Isn't it better to control the young guy?

But Xu Wan frowned and said, "Don't worry. Although that little bastard is a jerk, Shunzi is the one who grew up with him. And Jincheng and I are not enemies. All my plans are to let him study well, not to make him have no one to use and no one to trust. The world of children cannot be so dark."

Cuizhi and Cuiliu looked at each other and admired their new master's actions even more.

He has scheming and means, but he also has a bottom line.

However, having said that, Xu Wan still needs to think carefully about the pros and cons of the little devil's evil trick.

Although I can only recite, I don’t know the words, let alone what they mean;

But at least I can get the things in first and digest them slowly later.

It’s Wen Xiu…but we can’t just sit here and wait for the little devil to catch up because of his unreasonable demands.

"Bring the newly bought cakes from the mansion, and I'll go see them."
