The ugly daughter-in-law will have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later. Chen Cui, who had foreseen this situation, stayed outside on purpose.
Suddenly there was no sound in the room, so Shen Cui knocked on the door and went in to explain, "Master, this is the case. My second fat man was detained by me before. He only started studying before the New Year. It has not even been a month since then. So he has only read 300,000 words and learned some common words in these three books."
Lao Buyu took three steps back, still with a look of disbelief on his face, "But he...he..."
Isn’t he Mu Yunchuan’s biological brother? Isn't this the kind of talent that even his senior brothers are vying to recruit?
When the words came to his lips, Lao Buyu looked towards Mu Erpang who was sitting at the desk.
He stood in front of the desk, which had a curve that just fit his fat belly. Because he didn't understand the situation yet, he took a half step back from the desk, carefully moved his belly out, and held his book helplessly. He looked at him blankly, and then looked at his mother blankly.
The child is a good and well-behaved child. When we were having dinner today, he even knew to serve the food and ladle the soup for him.
Mr. Lao ate the dishes he had picked up happily, and later he realized there was a small bowl of steamed pumpkin with red dates and white fungus on the table. It was his favorite dessert, which Zheng ordered specially for him.
But Mu Erpang didn't eat a single bite himself and scooped it all to him. If the old teacher had not happened to hear Zheng asking him why he didn't eat today, he would not have known that he was secretly showing his filial piety.
Lao Buyu has been in this world for decades and has met all kinds of people, but this is the first time he has encountered eyes as clear as Mu Erpang's.
When people meet a slippery and cunning person, they just want to compete with him in wits and courage. But when they meet a truly kind person, they are reluctant to destroy his beauty.
So when those words came to his lips, Lao Buyu was reluctant to say them out loud. He suppressed his surprised expression and said to him in a gentle voice: "I want to discuss something with your mother. You should review your lessons first."
When they got to the outer room, Lao Buyu carefully asked Shen Cui about the situation.
"If your second fat man is just beginning to learn, why did my senior brother rush over to stop him?"
This was Shen Cui's arrangement. Of course, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. She touched her nose and said, "Didn't the headmaster say that he was afraid that you had no teaching experience and would mislead... mislead the students and affect his elder brother in the future."
She felt a little guilty when she said this.
With Mu Erpang's current progress, if the system did not require him to find a famous teacher with a qualification of 85 or above, even finding an old student to teach him would be more than enough.
Even if Lao Buyu closed his eyes and taught, there was no way he would mislead him.
Seeing Lao Buyu unconsciously covering his chest and imagining himself stripping naked and crawling around in the county town, Chen Cui couldn't bear it and said to him seriously, "Master, don't be discouraged. Our Erpang started late, but he learned very quickly. Half a month ago, he couldn't read a single word, but now he has memorized the three hundred and thousand by heart. We have a long way to go, and there is still a long way to go before your ten-year agreement. Really, please believe me once, our Erpang will not let you down."
What can I do if Lao Buyu doesn't believe it?
The big talk was spread outside during the day, and it should have spread throughout the city in due time.
Moreover, he could ignore everything else he said, but he could not go back on what he said in front of the headmaster.
I can only do as Chen Cui said and think that the ten-year agreement still has a long time.
For Lao Buyu, it was a little difficult to become a Jinshi, but it was easier to pass the exams for Xiucai and Juren. Ten years later, if Mu Erpang could be trained to become a juren, maybe he could at least wear pants when he walks around the county?
Thinking of this, Lao Buyu suddenly felt that the pressure was not so great.
"In that case, Hanshan will have to get up earlier and go to bed later than others. He will have to study a few more hours every day than others to catch up." There was no need to hide the above matters from Mu Erpang, the person involved. Lao Buyu said as he went back into the house, "This will naturally be more difficult, but..."
"Sir, I'm not afraid of hard work." Although Mu Erpang still didn't understand what Lao Buyu had misunderstood before, he probably knew that he was not satisfied with his current learning progress, so he immediately said, "I'm really not afraid of hard work. If I back down or regret it, I will also take off my clothes and crawl around the county town!"
Lao Buyu: ...
He had just finally forgotten about this incident.
After a while, Lao Buyu smiled and shook his head, waved his hand and said, "At worst, we can climb together!"
After talking for a while, it was already dark outside.
This is the situation nowadays. Willpower alone is not enough, people are also affected by external conditions.
If one really studies like in the legend, where one drills a hole in the wall to steal light or uses a firefly to reflect the snow, then one really does not need eyes.
Like Lao Buyu and Shanzhang's husband, he lived in a difficult environment when he was young, but he was still very studious and damaged his eyesight due to looking at night.
In the end, although he had learned a lot, his daily life was greatly affected, let alone realizing any grand ambitions. He could only accept some students, pass on his lifelong learning and let his disciples learn from it.
Lao Buyu shook his head with some regret and said: "It seems that today..."
Chen Cui said, "Don't worry, sir. I bought some candles for Er Pang, which are perfect for nighttime use."
After completing the monthly exam task, Shen Cui still had 130 shopping points left in her account. Today she spent 30 shopping points on making stinky tofu, and after completing the cross-level task she was given another 300 points, now totaling 400 points.
This is the most lucrative asset that Shen Cui has ever obtained since she started the mission.
She had promised to buy this for Mu Erpang before so that he could read and practice calligraphy at night. So she did not hesitate to spend her shopping points and immediately spent 200 shopping points to buy the special candle.
Mu Erpang's desk is a system product and can act as a medium. As Shen Cui spoke, she went to the desk and took out the candle from a drawer, pretending that it was prepared in advance.
As the system introduction said, the special candle looked no different from the most common candles nowadays. The only difference was probably that it was as thick as a child's arm, like the wedding candles used at weddings.
Of course, it is not in line with the laws of this world for a candle to be used for several years, so it can only burn for several hours at a time, just like an ordinary candle.
After a few hours, it will be returned to the system package and you can use it next time.
Lao Buyu glanced at the ordinary-looking candle. If one reads under such a candle, his eyes will become sore and swollen, or even tearful in no time.
But after all, Chen Cui was very concerned about her child, so Lao Buyu didn't say much. He thought about teaching Mu Erpang to learn for a while and stop when his eyes felt uncomfortable.
After the candle was lit, the light was neither dazzling nor dim, just in a perfect comfortable range.
Lao Buyu was slightly surprised, but didn't think much about it. He picked up Mu Erpang's book and prepared to start teaching.
Of the three books, the Hundred Family Surnames is of course a must as it is for children to distinguish surnames. As for the other two books, it is not enough to just memorize them, but one needs to understand the principles behind them.
Although these things may not be necessarily used in scientific examinations, they have been used as enlightenment reading materials since ancient times for a reason. They talk about common sense and the principles of life.
Although Lao Buyu was anxious for Mu Erpang to become successful, he also knew that he had to let him start learning step by step.
"Today, let's talk about the Three Character Classic. It says 'When a person is born, his nature is good; natures are close, but habits make them different.' This means that when a person is born, his nature is good, but as he grows up, his environment changes, and his nature becomes different, some good, some bad..."
Under the comfortable candlelight, Lao Buyu and Mu Erpang were teaching and learning at the same time, and they unconsciously forgot about everything else.
Chen Cui stood by for a while, and when she saw that they had started the class, she quietly left.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lao Buyu said, "Madam, please prepare a copy of 'You Xue Qiong Lin' so that I can help Han Shan learn new characters during the day and then teach him books at night."
This is a necessary teaching book, Shen Cui naturally nodded and helped them close the door.
After coming out of the old house, Shen Cui returned home.
Zhou, who came back earlier than her, had already lit the stove and warmed the kang.
Seeing her come back, Zhou asked her what she wanted to eat in the evening.
"Er Pang is staying with Master Lao and needs to learn for a while, so he will probably eat with him. It's just the two of us, so we can just make some."
All the delicious dishes on the table during the day were packed up by the Shen family and given to Lao Buyu.
But Zheng did not forget to take care of her own daughter, and brought all the extra sesame cakes and steamed buns on the dinner table to Chen Cui.
Zhou would reheat the sesame cakes, add some pickles, and make some hot cabbage soup, and it would be a simple meal.
After dinner, Zhou quickly washed the pots and bowls, went to boil some hot water, and brought in a basin of hot water for Chen Cui to wash her feet.
However, Shen Cui was not in the house. She was cleaning the room that originally belonged to Mu Yunchuan and Zhou.
Before, she had been busy all day and must have had a laziness attack, so she refused to move if she could.
Perhaps it was because she had completed a cross-level task today and had advanced the progress of the original task by a large margin, she felt indescribably relaxed, as if she had broken free from some shackles. She didn't feel lazy at all, but she was a little restless.
Zhou followed the noise and found her, and hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, just let me clean up by myself. You've been tired all day, go and rest."
Chen Cui did not argue with her, thinking that the house had not been moved (she was too lazy to move it), and there was just a little dust, which Zhou could clean up by herself.
She returned to the main house, and Zhou followed in with a conflicted look on her face.
Mu Yunchuan and Zhou didn't spend much time together, and when Zhou was with him, her heart and eyes were full of him and she didn't think of anything else.
So Mu Yunchuan didn't know that although Zhou was thoughtful, she was actually not very good at hiding her thoughts.
Just like now, Chen Cui could easily read from her expression - she wanted to find out how Mu Erpang was doing while studying with Lao Buyu today, but she also felt that snooping into every detail was a very bad behavior, like a spy.
But fortunately, there was nothing to hide from others, so Chen Cui took off her shoes and socks and soaked her feet in the basin while casually saying, "Master Lao is teaching our Erpang the Three Character Classic today, and tomorrow he will start reading "Youxue Qionglin". I know you actually like reading, so if you have time, you can go over and listen."
A look of shame suddenly appeared on Zhou's face, and the words "I don't deserve to hear it" were on the tip of her tongue, but when she thought of Mu Yunchuan's instructions, she nodded in agreement.
Later, Zhou became more and more restless. She added hot water to Shen Cui's foot bath, made her bedding, and filled the hot water bottle.
Chen Cui watched her busying around and probably figured out something was going on. Today, Mu Yunchuan probably wanted Zhou to keep a closer eye on her? This will prevent us from causing an unexpected big noise like today if we are not paying attention.
But they will definitely be disappointed. The movements of her and the system are all done in her mind, and even the most careful person will not be able to detect this.
Oh, no, she has such a huge system in her head? How come you haven't said a word till now?
It’s strange to say, in the past, whenever she had any idea, the system would have impatiently popped up a window for her, but today it has been so quiet until now.
Chen Cui, who was used to systematic companionship, was really a little uncomfortable at this time.
[System, 962464, are you there? 】
Immediately, the system's dull voice sounded: [I'm here. 】
[That's good. I have a lot of questions to ask you. Why are you so generous in this mission, giving me 300 shopping points at once? Also, how is Mr. Lao’s data generated so that I can see it? 】
[As the difficulty of system tasks increases, the number of task points the host can obtain will also increase. Lao Buyu officially became the teacher of the training objects and a member of the teaching system, and naturally became an object that can be monitored by this system. 】Here he came, becoming a little more listless. 【Actually, the host doesn't need to ask. I should have told the host about this in advance. It's just that I didn't expect the host to be able to complete this task. 】
Chen Cui was surprised and said: [Isn’t this the task you assigned to me? What do you mean I didn’t expect that I could actually complete this task? 】
【According to data analysis, there are five people in this city who meet the 85-point qualification and are suitable for teaching and training targets. They are all teachers of Qingzhu Academy. The admission standards of Qingzhu Academy are very strict and the dean is ruthless. The object of cultivation was far from meeting their standards, so I didn't know from the beginning whether the host would be able to complete this task. 】
[That’s not right, why didn’t you include Master Lao in it? 】
[According to data analysis, Lao Buyu's charm is gradually decreasing with his actions. As long as the host finds him one day later, his overall qualifications will fall below the system requirements. Moreover, the system has already analyzed the host and Lao Buyu's various numerical values in advance, and believes that the host has no possibility of defeating him in any aspect. 】
Shen Cui nodded slightly guilty.
Indeed, if it weren't for the system's reverse support, she would have no chance of winning the competition.
It seemed that when she thought of the competition method and was preparing to compete with Lao Buyu, the system started to pretend to be dead... no, it started to work overtime secretly.
But even though I feel guilty, I still have to ask the right question, [What about your next money-making task...]
[I will continue to adjust for the host. I will definitely do what I promised the host. 】
How should I put it? The tone of the system's speech is really like that of a corporate slave who has been troubled by the client and has to work overtime for three days and three nights.
Chen Cui felt a little bit sorry for it.
[No rush, just like yesterday, you can release it to me the next day. 】
[It must be a day later. What does the host think of me?! 】
