"This person can't always act so casually, can he?" Prince Yi stood outside the restaurant, watching the three adults and six children leave, and said.
“My second daughter says she’s decisive and never hesitates,” Zhong Zhizhou muttered to himself.
The Imperial Censor Luo, who was standing to the side, said, “I don’t know whether she is capricious or not. I only believe what I see with my own eyes. I have never met Minister Wei’s grandson, but honestly, are the children we personally raised by our side more outstanding than these six children?”
Furthermore, she was able to receive foreign delegations in the imperial court with a seven-year-old child, effectively thwarting their usual arrogance and saving face for our dynasty.
The fact that she could logically and convincingly point out that the opium sold to us at exorbitant prices by foreign powers was a scourge to the nation and its people, and that she could persuade our dynasty to stop buying it, is enough to show that she is no ordinary person.
"Yes, at such a young age, he is already capable of fighting on the battlefield, and his literary skills are so good that even I, as his father, am ashamed of my own. His handwriting is amazing. Moreover, my second son says he also knows foreign languages, and his level is no worse than that of Minister Wei's grandson," Prefect Zhong exclaimed.
After recognizing each other yesterday, Zhong Zhizhou was talking with his son in his room before dinner. When he remembered that he wanted to write a letter home to tell his family the good news, his son said he would write it for him. When he saw his son's handwriting, Zhong Zhizhou was really surprised.
Although I had heard before coming that this young lady Hong had taught her seven children very well, making them both literate and skilled in martial arts, I never expected them to be this good!
To be precise, it can no longer be described simply as good.
You should know that he, as the father, started his education at the age of four and entered the academy at the age of seven.
Before her son was rescued by Lady Hong, he suffered abuse at the hands of the Black Impermanence for the past six years.
After being rescued and taken in by Hong Xiaoniangzi, in just over two years, his handwriting improved to a level that made his father feel ashamed.
At the time, he thought his son had a talent for writing, but his son said no, all seven of them wrote at about the same level.
Well, we can only say that it was taught by Miss Hong.
The three fathers suddenly fell into deep thought. It wasn't a bad thing that their child could continue to stay with this young lady Hong; on the contrary, it was a stroke of luck that others couldn't even dream of!
The three of them couldn't help but feel ashamed of themselves for having reluctantly agreed to continue following the child's wishes in order to please her, thinking that no matter what, the child was still alive and had finally been found, which was already a great relief.
When Hong Xiaoduo and the others returned to their courtyard, they overheard Tianquan asking one of her mother's guards, and learned that her parents had not yet returned.
"The general and his wife asked me to tell you, Third Young Master, that they will come back to see you off tomorrow morning." After saying this, the female soldier hurriedly left, seemingly having to rush back.
"Tianquan, are you really not considering staying?" Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Tianquan said very seriously, "No, I can't help them if I stay here now. On the contrary, I will only distract them."
I'm not following you and Master to travel and enjoy myself. I want to grow stronger and better, so that I can be of help to my parents when they need me in the future.
"Wow, this is incredible! Our Tianquan has really grown up!" Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but praise.
Praised by her and seeing the approving look in his master's eyes, Tianquan straightened up and looked at Hong Xiaoduo, saying, "Mother, I didn't say I was doing it for the country and the people. I only said that I would help when Father and Mother need me in the future. You don't think I'm selfish and don't have a patriotic heart or the will to serve the country, do you?"
"Of course not. Patriotism begins with loving one's family. For every man to love his country, he must first love his family. If you don't love your family and don't care about your relatives, how can you talk about loving your country so shamelessly? Right?"
"Alright, you all go back to your rooms and get some rest. I have to go out for a bit," Hong Xiaoduo said to everyone after reassuring Tianquan.
"Oh, Mother, are you going to be gone for a long time again?" Yao Guang asked anxiously.
The other children also looked at her with tense expressions.
Quan Jinghuai and Fei Yan didn't think that way. They looked at Hong Xiaoduo with amusement, thinking to themselves, "See? They've made the children so easily frightened."
Hong Xiaoduo herself did not expect that the last incident would leave several children with psychological trauma.
"Ahem, why are you little rascals making wild guesses? Do you think I'm such an unreliable person?" Hong Xiaoduo said helplessly.
"You are," the six children replied in unison, their little faces serious.
Oh, this is a bit awkward: "I promise it won't happen again this time, how about I swear?"
"No need for that. Anyway, if you lie to us again and leave us for many days, I'll just... I'll slack off and not study anymore," Tianji said.
“Well, we don’t practice martial arts diligently anymore, so it’s no use for Master to beat us,” Yuheng said.
Tian Shu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, even though he thought the threat was childish.
Hong Xiaoduo was both amused and exasperated. Pointing at Yao Guang, who was about to speak, she said, "Don't threaten me by saying you're going to wet the bed."
Yao Guang was actually about to say that she didn't eat properly, but when she heard Hong Xiaoduo ask her that, she casually replied, "Yeah, I wet the bed, I wet your bed, hmph."
Distracted by Yao Guang, Tian Shu held back and didn't join in.
"Alright, alright, I'm scared of you all. I promise I'll be back in an hour at most. If I'm lying, I'll be punished by not being able to sleep in anymore. Is that alright?" Hong Xiaoduo promised helplessly.
The children are so adorable, she doesn't want to return them to their parents and just wants to keep them with her. How wonderful!
