Chapter 247 Let the Little Monkey Choose for Himself
Walk straight along the long street, past the dock, and you'll find the martial arts school.
Xue Qing's face turned pale and then red, and she looked like she was about to explode at any moment.
Even at the entrance of the martial arts gym, she remained silent, biting her lower lip tightly.
Fang Luxue looked up at the martial arts hall, a hint of disdain in her eyes. "So rudimentary!"
The smiles on the faces of the martial arts disciples who were there to greet them vanished instantly when they heard the words.
They stopped at the doorway, staring intently outside, like roadblocks standing in the way.
Xue Qing found a helper and a smug look appeared on her face, but she pretended to be embarrassed: "The martial arts school also contributed to the bandit suppression, but the credit did not go to the martial arts school, unlike Sister-in-law Qiqi, who got the plaque and Brother Yongnian's money, which also went to her."
Wan Qiqi was certain that she was disgusted by this person.
She wondered how Xue Jiang had raised his daughter to be like this.
Fang Luxue was not polite at all and said bluntly, "Go ask your father! But he personally told my father that the martial arts school should not accept any rewards or get involved in government affairs. Why is he now trying to gain merit?"
The martial arts school disciple recognized Fang Luxue, and upon hearing her words, realized who he had stopped and immediately apologized and made way.
Upon hearing the commotion, disciple Li Wei rushed over, rubbing his hands together and cheerfully calling out, "Brother Yongnian!"
Then, he bowed respectfully to Wan Qiqi and said, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
The disciples behind immediately shouted, "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Xue Qing never expected things to turn out this way. With a snort, she stomped her foot and stormed into the martial arts gym.
Even if Chen Yongnian was slow to notice, he realized that his wife and Xue Qing were both acting strangely today.
But he never thought that Xue Qing would have any ulterior motives towards him. He simply assumed that his wife disliked Xue Qing and that he would have less contact with her in the future.
The little monkey seemed frightened by the stranger who appeared and shrank back behind Chen Yongnian.
Wan Qiqi sighed, her heart filled with sorrow once more.
She had initially thought Xuejiang would be a good place, but now it seems it's not suitable for the little monkey either.
Before even entering the martial arts gym, she was already having second thoughts!
Fang Luxue glanced at the little monkey and nudged Wan Qiqi, "These are all stinky men here, we can't leave the child here. That little girl isn't much either, who knows what she might do to the little monkey!"
Wan Qiqi asked curiously, "You have such a bad impression of her?"
Fang Luxue retorted, "Aren't you the same?"
Wan Qiqi covered her mouth and smiled.
It seems Fang Luxue was absolutely right; she hit the nail on the head!
"Nonsense! Go stand on the wooden stakes in the yard. I didn't tell you to come down, so don't!"
The scolding voices inside interrupted Wan Qiqi and Fang Luxue's laughter and conversation.
The disciples gathered at the entrance immediately paled and dared not stay any longer, so they ran back immediately.
Only Li Wei remained standing at the door, scratching his head. "Sigh, in just this short time, Qing'er has angered the coach countless times!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Qiqi suddenly realized that it wasn't that they hadn't been educated well, but that they couldn't be educated.
However, martial artists are not as effective as scholars in educating people; they often use physical strength to train people, which does not address the root cause.
When it comes to education, Taoran is the best and most effective.
No wonder he was the head of the academy and the teacher who educated the students!
Just then, hurried footsteps came from the courtyard.
A moment later, Xue Jiang appeared before everyone.
A pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes swept over the crowd, finally settling on the half-exposed head.
He sighed softly and said, "I have failed to discipline my child properly, please forgive me, Miss Fang."
As he spoke, he made way for them and led the way, saying, "Please come in, everyone!"
The window in the main hall was half-open, and a fragrance of plum blossoms drifted in on the breeze.
Sitting by the window, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the courtyard.
Of course, we can also see Xue Qing being punished.
Under the sunlight, she bit her lower lip and stood on the stake in a horse stance.
The wind lifted her skirt, but she remained firmly planted on the post, demonstrating her skill.
Wan Qiqi glanced at it twice and then stopped looking. She picked up the pastry on the plate and handed another piece to the little monkey.
The little monkey shook its head, as if it was already full and didn't want to eat anymore.
Wan Qiqi didn't force herself, picked up the pastry and took a bite herself.
Although this pastry isn't as sweet as modern ones and the taste is a bit rough, it's authentic and quite palatable.
Shaped like a plum blossom, and even tasting like one, it's soft and fluffy, quite delicious.
Xue Jiang exchanged some polite words with Fang Luxue, then focused his attention on Wan Qiqi and the little monkey.
Wan Qiqi noticed the gazes directed at her, looked up, met the eyes of the three people sitting opposite her, and raised an eyebrow, "Finished talking?"
Xue Jiang sized up Wan Qiqi.
Compared to the rich young lady, she seemed unruly.
Especially when she's sitting, she'll lift one leg up and put it on the chair, which looks rather rude.
But she was also different from ordinary peasant women.
The peasant woman's eyes were clear and bright; nothing could be hidden in them.
Wan Qiqi's eyes, however, were like a bottomless, icy pool; the deeper one looked, the colder and more piercing they became.
Her lips were slightly upturned, as if she had a smile of her own, and she looked very dignified at first glance.
Xue Jiang had never met such a complex person.
Wan Qiqi smiled gently at Xue Jiang, "I've heard that Instructor Xue has a connection with the Tiger Descending the Mountain?"
Xue Jiang was taken aback and glanced at Fang Luxue unintentionally.
How could one say such a thing in front of the county magistrate's daughter?
Fang Luxue's curiosity was piqued by Wan Qiqi's words, and she urged, "What kind of relationship?"
Xue Jiang looked at the little monkey and noticed a hint of surprise in his eyes, which made him decide to tell him about his encounter with the tiger descending the mountain.
