Chapter 36
It was early in the morning and Luo Chaoyan was still sleeping soundly in bed.
Shu Lan and Feng Li pushed the door open.
"Madam, it's time to get up."
The person on the bed moved a little and then fell into a deep sleep again.
Shu Lan had no choice but to walk to the edge of the bed and lift up Luo Chaoyan's quilt, "Young Madam, it's time to get up."
Luo Chaoyan had no choice but to get up. She opened her hazy eyes and saw that it was still dark outside the window. She snatched back the quilt and said unhappily, "Shulan, it's not even dawn yet!" Then she was about to lie down again.
Shu Lan pulled the quilt to prevent her from lying down, and said, "Young Madam, I forgot that you have to go to the clan school today."
"Tribe studies?"
Fengli and Shulan felt helpless when they saw that she was still confused. It seemed that their master had forgotten everything.
"Young Madam, last night the old lady asked you to study in the clan school starting today." Fengli said.
When Luo Chaoyan heard this, her sleepiness disappeared immediately. She gritted her teeth, thinking that Huo Rui might be waiting in some corner to laugh at her. Even so, she could only find opportunities to retaliate.
"Let's go now."
In the Huo Family School, Huo Rui and several other children in the school were setting up a "mechanism" in the classroom.
"Boss, are we really going to do this?" Huo Ze looked at Huo Rui, who was directing everyone, with some uneasiness.
Huo Rui said, "What are you afraid of? I'll take care of anything." Now he just had to wait for the woman to come in so that he could see her embarrassed expression. He was so happy when he thought of this.
Huo Yu sat aside, ignoring the tiring "games" of Huo Rui and the others. He was concentrating on fiddling with the Rubik's Cube in his hand. He has been playing with it for days, but he just can't get the wooden blocks of the same color to move sideways.
Huo Rui shouted at him, "Huo Yu, go and keep an eye on us to see if my stepmother is here."
"No!" Huo Yu refused bluntly, saying, "Huo Rui, be careful not to lose more than you gain."
Huo Rui glared at him unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense."
When Luo Chaoyan got off the carriage, she saw the words written on the two pillars in front of the school gate: The path to the mountain of books is made through diligence, the boat to the boundless sea of learning is made through hard work. She had black lines all over her face. She is almost 30 years old in the modern world, and she was transported back to ancient times and lived there for 16 years. Now she has to go to school again, with a bunch of little kids. Who can imagine her inner devastation?
She took a few deep breaths and said to Fengli, "Come on! Let's go in."
In order to look more scholarly, Luo Chaoyan dressed up as a man and held a folding fan in her hand. He looks like a gentleman.
When they walked in, they found that everything was quite quiet, with only a few servants cleaning the yard.
"Pineapple, are we here too early? Look, there is no student in the school." Luo Chaoyan asked puzzledly. According to Huo Rui's personality, he would probably appear in front of her and mock or ridicule her at this moment. Why is there no movement now? Could it be that the guy skipped school today?
Pineapple looked up at the rising sun and said in a firm tone: "Young Madam, I think we are late." So it is impossible for you to sleep in tomorrow, just give up.
She stopped a man who was cleaning the courtyard and asked, "Young man, I want to ask, do you not have to go to school today? Why don't I see Young Master Huo Rui and the others?"
The man saw that she looked unfamiliar and asked, "Who are you?"
Luo Chaoyan said, "I am Huo Rui's elder. My family is worried that he will not study hard in the clan school, so they asked me to supervise him."
The man nodded and said, "Young Master Rui came early in the morning. He should be in the classroom now." He pointed to the location of the classroom.
Luo Chaoyan thanked them and walked towards the classroom with Fengli.
She always felt something was wrong. Where there are children, there will be noise. How can this classroom be so quiet? If the old teacher came to teach, there would be the sound of Lang Lang reading.
wrong! Luo Chaoyan hurriedly stopped. The pineapple following behind her almost bumped into her.
"What happened to the young lady?"
Luo Chaoyan said: "Huo Rui must be planning something bad."
At this time, an old man in white clothes walked slowly towards them from not far away. He had a square face and a serious expression. He also had a ruler in his hand.
Luo Chaoyan guessed that this person might be the teacher here. She thought that if she wanted to thrive in the clan school, currying favor with powerful people was the key.
She walked up to him, saluted him and said, "Master!"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Huo Luo. I'm here on the orders of my old lady to supervise little Rui'er's studies." Luo Chaoyan said with a smile.
When Master Li saw that she was dressed in men's clothes, his resistance was slightly reduced. In his opinion, the school is a holy place for scholars and women should not set foot there. But the clan leader had promised Master Huo, so he couldn't say anything.
He said sternly, "You are a woman, you are not qualified to enter the school, but since you have entered the clan school, you should abide by the rules of the school, you must not wander around, and you must not be late or leave early."
"Master, you are right." Luo Chaoyan smiled but rolled her eyes in her heart. She didn't want to come either! It’s no wonder that Huo Rui hates coming to school here. This teacher is so strict and really annoying.
"Let's go. It's already time for class, so don't delay..."
Luo Chaoyan nodded quickly, raised her hand and stretched it forward, saying, "Master, please go first!"
Master Li straightened his clothes, shook his sleeves, then put his hands behind his back and strode towards the classroom like a proud peacock.
Luo Chaoyan and Fengli followed behind him.
Huo Rui has everything ready, except for the east wind. However, he and the other friends waited for a long time before seeing Huo Shun come back to report whether the woman had arrived.
In order to prevent outsiders from seeing the layout inside, he closed all the windows in the classroom. Just as he was wondering whether to let Huo Ze go out through the window to check, there was a knocking sound outside the window.
“Boss!”
Huo Rui opened the window and saw Huo Shun breathing unevenly: "Boss, husband..."
"That woman is coming!" Huo Rui said to his friends in the house with excitement, "Everyone, hide quickly."
"Huo Shun, I'll give you a credit today."
When Huo Shun was about to raise his hand to say that that was not what he meant, Huo Rui had already closed the window. When he wanted to knock on the window again, he saw the teacher, Luo Chaoyan and the other two walking to the classroom door. He quickly hid behind a pillar. He hesitated whether he should step forward to stop them from pushing open the classroom door.
Luo Chaoyan noticed him with her sharp eyes and saw that he looked a little uneasy and scared.
Her heart paused. Could there be some trap in this classroom? She remembered watching a movie before, which was about a group of gangster students who set up various traps in the classroom in order to intimidate the new teacher.
By the way, with Huo Rui’s temper, he would definitely do it.
Master Li frowned when he saw the classroom door was closed. Could these students be doing something bad in there? Otherwise why is it closed in broad daylight? Thinking of this, he became a little furious.
Seeing this, Luo Chaoyan hurriedly pulled Fengli aside.
“Clatter, clatter!”
