Chu Yao stroked Lin Feng's hair with satisfaction.
Relieved again and again: "Good, good, good child."
I don’t know what I was thinking about, but the corners of my eyes turned slightly red.
Once a teacher, always a father.
Accepting students was a very serious matter for scholars of this era. Chu Yao agreed to accept Lin Feng as a female student, not only because of Shen Tang's face or the title of "the first extraordinary woman to gain the literary mind", but also because of some empathy.
Lin Feng was not very old, only eight years old. If Chu Yao had not had an accident, he would have been married and had children. He did not know whether he would have a family in the future. If not, Lin Feng would be his half-daughter, the one who would inherit his legacy.
"teacher!"
Lin Feng's eyes also turned red.
Compared to Mr. Qi, with whom she had less time to spend together, Mr. Chu was more amiable and kind, which reminded her of her grandfather. If she had not been rational, she would have called him "Grandpa".
"As for your literary talent, keep it a secret for now and don't reveal it to anyone." Chu Yao's emotions came and went quickly. Reason prevailed and he carefully reminded Lin Feng of the precautions.
Lin Feng wrote down every one of them carefully.
“Well, the students remembered it.”
Chu Yao: "To be on the safe side, I will dress in men's clothing in the future."
"But Wuhui, Xiao Linfeng's face doesn't look like a man's at all..." Shen Tang hinted wildly at the side, "Could it be that everyone she meets says that she looks like a man but not a woman?"
Chu Yao didn't think there was anything wrong.
"It's okay as it hasn't grown up yet."
Children are often androgynous in their infancy. The better the foundation, the more the facial features resemble those of the opposite sex. If Lin Feng pretends to be a boy, outsiders will only say that this child is born cute and has a boyish look. When she is older and has a literary mind, we can make plans.
Chu Yao paused and said to Qi Shan, "Yuanliang, next time you go down the mountain to buy manpower, you can see if there are any girls with good qualifications or girls from small families that have fallen on hard times. We have to find out whether Lin Feng is a special case or not, which will affect our future arrangements."
Qi Shan: "Do I need you to remind me specifically?"
He had this plan just now.
If Lin Feng is the only special case, no matter what the reason is, if Lin Feng wants to live, she can only hide her true gender for the rest of her life. If it is not a special case but a "miracle" that can be stably replicated, then - this will become Shen Xiaolangjun's trump card, greatly making up for the innate deficiencies brought by the "agricultural" prince's talent.
After all, it's not just men who are ambitious.
There aren't many women like "Poison Spider" who are ambitious and unwilling to give up, but they are definitely not few. If we can make use of them, they will be a great help in the future.
Shen Tang is a person who can't sit still.
Seeing that there was nothing else to do here, she hinted frantically again: "Yuanliang, Wuhui, do you have anything else to do?"
Qi Shan pinched his brows and said, "It's okay."
Shen Tang asked again: "Are you really alright? Are you sure you're alright? Do you want to think about it again? If you're really alright, then I'll leave."
Qi Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"
Shen Tang took a half-step forward and winked at him, signaling him to look at his face again: "Am I really withdrawing?"
Qi Shan's blood pressure, which had just dropped, was rising again. He supported Shen Tang's shoulders with both hands and pushed her out, saying, "Go away, go to bed early. There is really nothing for you to do here."
If he listened less to Shen Tang's nonsense, he could live two more years.
Shen Tang, who was pushed out of the door: "..."
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
He curled his lips and pulled Lin Feng to go together.
Just after taking two steps, she heard the slam of a wooden door closing behind her, as if they couldn't wait to kick her out. Shen Tang turned around and punched, muttering, "Don't regret it later!"
Lin Feng: "What did you want to say to the gentleman just now?"
Shen Tang tilted his head and curled his lips maliciously: "I wanted to say it just now, but now I don't want to, let's wait for them to find out by themselves. Anyway, it's not a big deal, right?"
Lin Feng was confused, but seeing the expression on his husband's face, it should be a small matter, so he was relieved and nodded, "Yes."
Shen Tang looked up at the moonlight and calculated the time: "It's getting late, you should go to bed first and get enough rest... Yinzheng is going to perform the disciple ceremony. It's crazy to think about it. Alas, it's still the luckiest thing for the nine-year compulsory education students. At least they can go to school at seven or eight o'clock."
Lin Feng gradually got used to Shen Tang's puzzling mumblings and bowed respectfully: "My dear, go to bed early too."
Shen·Night Owl·Tang: "…"
It is impossible to go to bed early.
Especially when she lay down, she heard a faint "bang bang bang" sound. She sat up straight without any sleepiness, put on her clothes and followed the sound. In the moonlight, she vaguely saw a tall black shadow in the "martial arts training ground" opened by Gong Shuwu.
I recognized this person from a distance.
"Li Li, why aren't you asleep yet?"
The banging sound suddenly stopped, and the man turned around. It was indeed Li Li. He held a long wooden stick in his hand and practiced chopping and stabbing at the wooden stake. I don't know how long he has been practicing here. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, tightly attached to his skin, and rose and fell evenly with his breathing.
At first glance, it looks like a beast ready to pounce.
As Shen Tang approached, Li Li pushed the stick into the haystack with force and replied calmly, "Of course it's because I can't sleep."
"What a coincidence. I can't sleep either." The haystack was filled with wooden sticks for practice. Shen Tang pulled one out and invited Li Li, "Hehehe, since neither of you can sleep, do you want to fight?"
Moderate exercise before bedtime helps you sleep.
Li Li turned around and said, "No, go back to sleep now."
As a person who can breathe the air at an altitude of two meters, Li Li can look down at Shen Tang's small arms and legs.
This young man's thighs were not even as thick as his arms, and he was a scholar with a literary mind. Li Li was not interested in her challenge.
Boom!
"If you are angry, you will not be able to sleep. The more you sleep, the more energetic you will feel. How about you vent your anger?"
The stick in Shen Tang's hand blocked his way, and the stick broke and sank deeply into the mud under his feet. He looked at Shen Tang along the stick, his eyelids trembling slightly, and an inexplicable desire to win surged into his heart.
He gritted his teeth and decisively pulled a stick out of the haystack. The tip of the stick created a gust of wind and swept towards Shen Tang's face.
Boom!
Shen Tang raised his stick to block.
Li Li pursued decisively.
Boom boom boom!
The shadows of the sticks were dense, and both of them attacked quickly and fiercely.
Li Li relied on his height advantage to play fast break and strength. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been unable to resist, either because they could not keep up with the rhythm or because they could not withstand the strength. However, the short young man in front of him was unexpected. Not only could he keep up, but his strength was also comparable to his.
No, thinking about the scene in the daytime, Shen Tang stopped him with just one hand, Li Li knew that this was definitely not all Shen Tang had. So, the fire in his heart became stronger, and he struck the stick faster and harder.
Snap—
The long sticks in the hands of the two men almost broke at the same time due to the force. Li Li chose to go around the haystack to get another one, while Shen Tang directly rushed forward with the half-broken stick.
