Min Yueqing could barely keep her smile going until she had enjoyed the little one's affection before she reluctantly agreed.
Pei Ji was as innocent as the Xuan paper he used for practicing calligraphy. Upon hearing that Min Yueqing had finally agreed, he excitedly thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Mother! Mother is the best!"
Min Yueqing accepted the compliments without any shame.
Pei Han sat directly opposite the two, and he was utterly amazed by their intimate scene.
Pei Han thought to himself, thankfully his son was completely unguarded only with his wife and son, and was quite composed in front of outsiders. Otherwise, if he entered officialdom with this naive and innocent appearance, he would surely be devoured alive.
While sighing, Pei Han checked Pei Ji's homework and explained the shortcomings to Pei Ji.
Pei Ji had only been formally studying for a little over a month, but his learning progress had already far surpassed Shi Tou's.
Even Pei Han was often amazed by Pei Ji's memory and comprehension. Moreover, this child not only had extremely high comprehension, but was also extremely studious, a natural-born scholar.
To avoid overburdening Shi Tou, Pei Han, despite having only two students, opted for separate instruction. This way, both Pei Ji and Shi Tou could receive instruction at a pace and with content that suited them.
Before they knew it, it was lunchtime, and the three of them and the little tiger got up and headed to the dining room.
Xiao Wei didn't take the height of the bed seriously at all, and jumped down directly, faster than Min Yueqing and the others.
Looking at Xiao Wei, who had turned back to wait for her, Min Yueqing felt a surge of accomplishment. From a tiny, trembling, pitiful creature, to the healthy and agile child he was now, how could she not be overjoyed?
When the group arrived at the dining hall, Shi Tou was still nowhere to be seen. Min Yueqing teased A Zhu, "It seems our Shi Tou is quite fond of reading, he's almost forgotten to eat and sleep. Let's go call him."
A-Zhu smiled and went to the study to call for someone.
As soon as she entered the study, she saw Shitou sitting on a stool, engrossed in chewing on his pen. Azhu said, both amused and exasperated, "Shitou, it's time to eat. If you haven't finished writing, you can continue writing after you finish eating!"
When Shi Tou heard that it was time to eat, he felt both relieved and annoyed. He struggled for a moment while sitting there, but finally stood up and followed A Zhu. After all, he couldn't keep his master and the others waiting for him.
Today's lunch menu still mainly featured wild boar meat; after all, we got so much meat yesterday, we couldn't possibly eat it all in one day.
The braised pork, braised spare ribs, and wild vegetable meatball soup that received rave reviews the day before are back again. In addition, today, besides a small basket of peaches, a small basket of wild mushrooms was also delivered, which was just right to make a mushroom stew with pork.
The wild mushrooms absorbed the juices from the wild boar meat, making them incredibly delicious and naturally becoming one of the most popular dishes on the dinner table today.
Pei Ji ate several mushrooms in a row, still wanting more. He couldn't help but ask Min Yueqing, "Mother, do these mushrooms also grow in the mountains?"
“Yes.” Min Yueqing had already vaguely guessed what he was going to say next.
Sure enough, Pei Ji immediately replied, "Then we can not only pick fruit in the mountains, but also gather mushrooms!"
Min Yueqing first affirmed his idea, but then had to pour some cold water on it, "It's possible, but there's a lot to know about picking mushrooms. Some mushrooms are poisonous and can't be eaten."
Pei Ji's eyes widened in disbelief. "Mushrooms can be poisonous?"
Min Yueqing and Pei Han both gave affirmative answers.
Pei Ji was greatly shocked, and immediately thought of the mushrooms he had just eaten. He asked nervously, "How do we know if the mushrooms we are eating now are poisonous?"
Min Yueqing subconsciously teased, "We'll know once we see if anything happens to us in the next couple of days."
Pei Ji was completely unaware that Min Yueqing was teasing him, and his little face unconsciously scrunched up. "What would happen if I got poisoned? Would I die?"
Seeing Pei Ji's worried expression, Pei Han couldn't help but lend him a helping hand, "Lele, your mother is just joking with you. These mushrooms were picked by the local mountain people themselves. They've been eating them since they were little, so it's proven that they're non-toxic."
Pei Ji's worry and tension immediately vanished, replaced by a complaint against Min Yueqing. He said aggrievedly, "Mother!"
Min Yueqing gently ruffled Pei Ji's hair and said with a smile, "I did this to reinforce your memory. See, now you certainly won't forget that not all mushrooms are edible, right?"
Pei Ji thought about it and felt that it seemed to be true, but he still felt that he was being questioned, so he immediately emphasized, "Mother, I will remember everything you say!"
Min Yueqing couldn't help but feel ashamed. Needless to say, what six-year-old child could be like you? Not only do you have a photographic memory, but you also have a memory that you hear. It's truly heaven-defying.
To make up for the upset little one, Min Yueqing put two pieces of braised pork ribs into his small bowl. "Lele, eat quickly, pork ribs taste better when they're hot!"
Pei Ji pouted slightly, reluctantly accepting this wave of concern, and obediently lowered her head to gnaw on the ribs.
After dinner, Pei Ji and Shi Tou took a nap. When they woke up, they immediately noticed that the rain had stopped, so they went out to the courtyard to practice martial arts at their usual spot.
Min Yueqing had already spoken to them, and if anyone asked who taught them this, they should say that they were taught by an old man they met by chance in the mountains.
Since this excuse has already been used on Min's parents once, it's not inappropriate to use it again.
Otherwise, even Min Yueqing couldn't bear to see the two children, who had traveled thousands of miles to practice martial arts, having to hide from people.
Although Pei Han wasn't on duty in the afternoon, he still had to handle some official business brought in by his subordinates, so he wasn't as relaxed as he was in the morning.
However, to Min Yueqing's surprise, Pei Han did not go to the study to work, but continued to sit opposite her on the couch, making do by placing the official documents on the small table on the couch for review.
It has to be said that Min Yueqing quite liked this feeling. As usual, she would recline on the soft pillows, flip through books, drink tea, and take a nap while holding Xiao Wei when she got tired.
Little Wei often takes short naps during the day, sometimes only for an hour at a time, but several times a day. Therefore, its most common posture is to lie lazily and take a nap.
Of course, sometimes she would lie on her back without any regard for her image, and whenever this happened, Min Yueqing couldn't help but smile like a loving mother.
Unlike usual, today Min Yueqing could see a handsome man as soon as she looked up. This handsome man was of the classic type, and every move he made was extremely elegant. He was a real feast for the eyes.
Perhaps Min Yueqing's gaze was too blatant, making it difficult for Pei Han to pretend nothing was wrong. He looked up and chuckled, "Why is Madam staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
Min Yueqing almost blurted out a cheesy pickup line. She quickly bit her tongue and managed to hold it in, but then she couldn't stop coughing.
