Actually, she noticed the problem yesterday, but seeing that the two young teachers and students were both quite focused on teaching and learning, and wanting to see how things would develop, she kept quiet.
Seeing that the two were locked in a stalemate, he finally put down his brush and walked over to them.
Seeing Min Yueqing approach, both of them quickly jumped off their chairs. Pei Ji called out "Mother" first, but his voice wasn't as clear as it used to be; it seemed the little one was also a bit dejected.
Stone barely managed to raise his head and called out "Master," but before he could even look at his master's expression, he lowered his head again.
Min Yueqing patted each of their fluffy little heads, told them to sit down, and then sat down on a chair next to them herself.
Min Yueqing first asked Shi Tou gently, "Did you feel that you read too much yesterday, and that you forgot the earlier parts as you read the later parts, which is why you can't remember them?"
Shi Tou suddenly looked up, wondering if his master could read minds. How could his master know everything he was thinking?
Min Yueqing looked at Shi Tou with an expression that was tantamount to acquiescence, without any surprise.
After all, geniuses are a minority in this world, and ordinary people make up the vast majority. And ordinary people probably can't accept Pei Ji's teaching methods.
Min Yueqing turned to Pei Ji and coaxed, "Lele, what do you think Shi Tou likes the most?"
Without hesitation, Pei Ji replied, "It's delicious."
Although Shi Tou also loves learning martial arts, it still falls short compared to enjoying delicious food.
Min Yueqing chuckled softly and glanced at Shi Tou with a teasing look.
Stone touched his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed under his master's gaze.
Although Shi Tou felt that there was nothing strange about liking to eat delicious food, if the children in his village were asked to answer this question, eight or nine out of ten would give the same answer.
After all, they used to often go hungry. If they were hungry during the day, they would go to the fields, the land, or even the riverbank in groups to find something to eat. Sometimes when they were hungry at night, they would dream about eating.
Min Yueqing looked at Pei Ji and continued, "If you let Shi Tou eat a whole fat pig in one sitting, do you think he would still like to eat it?"
When Shi Tou first heard about a whole fat pig, he was a little happy, but when he realized that it would be eaten in one meal, even though he really loved pork, he couldn't help but shudder.
Pei Ji replied, "Then I definitely won't be able to eat it."
After saying that, Pei Ji thoughtfully continued, "Mother, are you saying that learning too many characters at once will also cause this?"
Min Yueqing sighed inwardly, thinking how easy it was to talk to a smart person. She patted the little one's head with satisfaction.
"That's the point, so we shouldn't rush it. We should teach him a little bit every day. You see, if Shitou only learns ten characters a day, he can learn three hundred in a month, not to mention a year or two, right?"
Pei Ji thought about it and agreed that his mother was right. If he calculated it that way, it wouldn't be long before Shi Tou would be able to recognize the characters he knew now.
Shi Tou was extremely excited. He was stunned when he heard that if he learned ten characters a day, he could recognize three hundred characters in a month. In that month, he could become the person in his village who knew the most characters.
And you only need to learn ten characters a day, it's so easy!
Yesterday he read so many words, he couldn't even count them all, and then he learned the later ones but forgot the earlier ones. Now that he hears he only needs to learn ten, he immediately feels full of confidence.
Seeing that the two children had cheered up again, Min Yueqing returned to the inner room. She hadn't been sitting down for long when Azhu walked in quickly.
Azhu said, "Miss, the master of the house has sent another message. He said that he found out that quack doctor named Wu Mingjing rented two carriages from the carriage shop a few months ago and left the capital with his whole family. He hasn't returned since."
Min Yueqing couldn't help but think to herself that these people all had the same tricks: committing evil deeds and then running away. No wonder she had scared Liu Shi so much when she casually made up a few lines in the main courtyard that day.
"The old man continued his investigation along the carriage route and discovered that this quack doctor was quite shrewd. Perhaps he had gained experience from running away, as he changed his carriage as soon as he arrived in a new area, so the people at the carriage company in the capital did not know where he had gone. The old man said that he had already sent a few clever servants to continue investigating along this route, but he estimated that it would take a while, and told Miss not to worry."
Min Yueqing nodded.
She secretly pondered that the main hospital must have lost a lot of money this time. If it weren't for having enough money to keep him afloat, this quack doctor might not have been so obedient, even willing to leave his hometown.
Since that's the case, there's no need to waste any more time here on this quack doctor. It seems we should make arrangements for the trip to the estate outside the city.
When they first made this plan, Amei and the others packed a lot of things. However, the plan was temporarily shelved due to Liu's obstruction. But Min Yueqing did not ask them to take out the things that had already been packed. Instead, she found an empty storeroom and put them in.
It seems it's time for these things to come in handy.
The main purpose of this trip was to find a suitable place where there wouldn't be too many people watching, so that the two children could exercise properly and improve their physical fitness.
In addition, they need to learn some essential survival skills in the wild, otherwise, once they arrive in the southwest, the two children will probably experience the feeling of never leaving the house.
Min Yueqing pondered for a moment and asked Azhu, "Are there any horse farms in the capital?"
Azhu thought for a moment and replied, "I don't think there are any horse farms in the capital, only carriage and horse shops. But there is a fairly large horse farm outside the city, where many young masters like to go to choose horses."
Min Yueqing immediately made a decision: "Tell the coachman in the manor that we will go to the horse farm outside the city first thing tomorrow morning."
A-Zhu asked in confusion, "Does Miss want to buy a horse? Why not send someone to buy one?"
Min Yueqing thought to herself that it was better to choose the ones she liked herself than to have someone buy them. She said, "I want to choose them myself this time. I'll also be bringing Lele and Shitou tomorrow. Go and make the preparations."
The next morning, Min Yueqing called out to the two kids who were about to go for a run, saying, "Let's not run today, let's go to the horse farm outside the city."
Pei Ji and Shi Tou were both amused upon hearing this, and spontaneously transformed into curious little children.
"Mother, are we going horseback riding?" Pei Ji ran over quickly, grabbing Min Yueqing's hands and shaking them anxiously.
Shi Tou was faster, reaching Min Yueqing even before Pei Ji. However, he couldn't speak as quickly as Pei Ji, so he could only look at his master expectantly, waiting for Min Yueqing's answer.
It's true that children have a natural interest in horseback riding.
Min Yueqing looked at the two anxious children and said with a smile, "I think you've been doing very well lately, so today we'll go to the horse farm and see if there are any good foals. We'll reward each of you with one."
Pei Ji was so happy that he immediately grabbed Min Yueqing's hand and jumped up and down twice, then laughed and buried his face in Min Yueqing's chest, rubbing against her.
