Chapter 9: Childish Little Devil

Xu Wan looked at the little guy's back as he ran like a monkey, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey, was he this funny before?"

Cuizhi shook her head in fear: "The young master is never funny."

Just kidding, he is the most spoiled child in the entire mansion, who dares to tease him like a joke!

Only my wife is brave enough to throw down the hat and fight with others...

Xu Wan said quietly, "Then he will have more funny days in the future."

Cuizhi: “…”

I don't know why, but I wanted the old lady to come back and take a look.

At lunch time.

As soon as Xu Wan entered the restaurant, she saw the little devil's eyes were spitting fire, as if he had already said all the harsh words in the morning and now he could only glare at her madly.

Trying to... kill her with your eyes.

Xu Wan: “…”

What a childish approach.

However, she had seen cruel and cold eyes when she was a child, so the tricks of this child were nothing.

She sat down calmly and said lightly, "You are not so naive as to think that your eyes can kill people, are you?"

"..."The exposed little devil blushed instantly.

But he soon regained his composure.

"That won't make it easy for you!"

Zong Jincheng was ready to confront her, as if no one could break his pride, which made Xu Wan sneer.

Childish, childish...

The maids on the side were busy serving the food. Dishes were placed one after another, and they were all delicious and tasty.

Xu Wan reached out, picked up her chopsticks, and tasted a piece of smoked duck in lotus leaf.

Um……

The food in the Marquis’ Mansion is delicious.

Zong Jincheng also felt hungry when he saw the table full of food.

He didn't even care about what Xu Wan said about her not observing rules and eating without waiting for him to sit down... She was the boss in the mansion now and everyone listened to her, so it was useless for him to say anything.

Humph, grandma will definitely regret this decision!

After the young man figured it out, he sat down to eat angrily. He grabbed a bowl of rice with one hand and tried to snatch food from Xu Wan's chopsticks with the other.

He would pinch whatever part of her flesh she pinched;

He would grab whatever piece of food she ate;

When she wanted to drink soup, he asked someone to serve it to her before she did.

Anyway, I have to suppress her in every way, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart.

The green branches and willows on the side were stunned!

Is this still the little ancestor in her family who is a very picky eater?

Although the table was filled with abundant food, there weren't many of his favorite dishes on it!

Now, just to show off to his wife, he even ate two big bowls of rice!

Oh my God!

Old lady!

Please come back and have a look!

The little boy has changed!!

Xu Wan didn't notice the little devil's pretending to grab food. She had a small appetite to begin with, so it wouldn't be a big deal if she ate a little less.

But the boy's cheeks were puffy from eating so much, which diluted the anger in his eyes. His eyes became more beautiful, like stars in the deep sky.

She moved slightly and asked, "Are you full?"

Zong Jincheng looked at the mess on the table, then saw that only half a bowl of rice in front of her had been touched, and he felt very satisfied.

I'll wait and starve you for a month, and see if you still have the strength to fight me!

Zong Jingcheng ignored her and left after eating.

Only a back figure pretending to be cool was left behind.

Xu Wan: “…”

You are a childish ghost reborn!

After she walked away, she heard Cuizhi and Cuiliu's laughter. Xu Wan turned around to look at them.

Cui Liu immediately pretended nothing happened.

Only Cuizhi smiled and said, "If Madam continues to stimulate him like this, the young master will gain three pounds in a month."

Cui Liu also said: "But it's a good thing. The old lady always said that he was too thin."

"Let's write a letter to the old lady as soon as possible. If she knew about this, she would be very happy for several days."

"Then let Madam work hard to make the young master fatter."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

The two of them were chatting animatedly, one sentence at a time.

Xu Wan suddenly interrupted: "Then tell me, if I feed him to gain 30 kilograms, will the old lady give me a little more reward?"

If an old lady wants her grandson to be successful, she can’t just look at his academic performance; his health is also a very important part!

Green branches and green willows: “…”

Forget about the thirty kilograms. The picture is so beautiful that they dare not think about it.

Xu Wan thought this was a good idea: "I think it's feasible, Cuizhi, mention it when you write to the old lady, I think she will agree."

The old lady's generous look yesterday was still very impressive, and the money-loving Xu Wan had great confidence in her.

Cuizhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and replied, "Yes, I'll go right away."

The new lady is really strange.

She seemed to like money very much and tried hard to make a lot of it. After taking over the troublesome young master, she tried her best to compete with him in wits and courage.

But she didn't care about the power of being the head of the Marquis's Mansion at all, and she handed it over to the housekeeper with complete confidence. The Marquis's Mansion was large and powerful, and if she really became the mistress of the house, how much money would she have to spend?

I really don’t understand…

Cuizhi was busy writing letters, so Cuiliu accompanied Xu Wan in the study to see what Zong Jincheng should learn at his age.

As soon as you enter the room, the fragrance of books fills the air.

Xu Wan walked in and saw various kinds of books arranged in order on the bookshelf, arranged according to the level of difficulty.

She asked casually, "What's the progress of Zong Jincheng?"

Cui Liu replied, "The young master doesn't like to study, and he hasn't memorized the Three Character Classic yet."

Xu Wan: “…”

I guessed he was illiterate, but I didn't expect he was so thoroughly illiterate.

She picked up a book and opened a brand new page, saying, "Normally, children are enlightened at the age of seven, and children of officials are enlightened even earlier, at the age of three or four. Zong Jincheng is really spoiled to the core."

Cuiliu thinks so too.

But she didn't dare to comment on her master's affairs.

"By the way, what's the name of the child brought back by the second wife? How is his academic progress?"

Cui Liu said, "The young master is called Zong Wenxiu. He has lived in a slum since he was a child. He was brought back to the palace a few years ago and had the opportunity to receive enlightenment. However, Master Xiu is extremely intelligent and studies very hard. Now, in just half a year, he has caught up with the progress of the children of the noble families."

Xu Wan sighed silently in her heart.

This is a vivid contrast!

If the little devil is so reassuring, she would have to get up early every day and burn three sticks of incense for him!

During this afternoon, Xu Wan spent the entire afternoon in the study room getting familiar with the learning knowledge of ancient children. The difference between the knowledge and that of modern children is not that big, but not that small either.

In the end, we still have to find a way to get Zong Jincheng into the study to study.

Cuizhi was outside constantly receiving news and reporting to her on Zong Jincheng's progress:

"After returning to his room, the young master sat on the doorstep in a daze. During this time, he hammered the door eight times, kicked the doorstep twelve times, and kicked the stone at the door thirty-three times."

"Why are there so many stones at his door?"

Although Xu Wan stole the valuable things from his yard, she did not give him anything else.

"It's a stone in the flower bed."

"One? Thirty-three kicks?"

"The young master asked the servants to pick it up thirty-three times."

Xu Wan: “…”

What a troublesome ancestor.
