Xiao Yueye is now nine years old. He bit the pen and sighed while looking at the thick pile of rice paper under his hand.
Xiao Yueye put down her pen, jumped down from the stool, hugged Liu'er's waist and said pitifully: "Aunt Liu, can you please beg me for mercy? I promise that I will be obedient in class from now on!" He grabbed the corner of Liu'er's clothes. Constantly swaying.
Liu Er said with a smile: "Master, if the lady is really angry this time, please behave. I tell you, as long as you practice these words honestly in the past two days, the lady will definitely relent."
Speaking of which, Xiao Yueye also knew her mother's temperament and could only frown and practice calligraphy while holding the brush.
"How is Ye'er?" Mrs. Xiao sat at the table and gently blew the tea leaves in the tea bowl.
Liu Er chuckled and said, "As soon as I told you that Miss, you were angry, the young master immediately became honest. But the expression on his face was so pitiful that he felt like tears were about to fall."
Mrs. Xiao sighed softly and smelled the fragrance of tea and said, "Don't let him fool you. Ye'er is full of sperm! The ruthlessness he showed in the Song Mansion last year was not something a poor kid would do."
Liu Er took a step forward and walked behind Mrs. Xiao and gently rubbed her shoulders: "Is it possible that the young master has such a cruel temper..."
"It doesn't matter, Ye'er has a good grasp of things. Don't worry. And which one of our hands is not full of bones? Liu'er, you are lucky to be working hard these days and pay attention to his homework. I have already sent someone to ask Gu Yao." Mrs. Xiao narrowed her eyes. With eyes closed, she still held the cup of tea in her hands and shook it gently with a comfortable expression.
Liu'er stopped talking and continued to knead Mrs. Xiao with a smile.
Xiao Yueye's daily painful days finally ended when Gu Yao came. Gu Yao is a very thin and frail young man. He wears a scholar's unique Confucian robe, which is light blue and gives a very elegant feeling. He wore a student hat on his head, a pair of bright red eyes, fair skin, and the corners of his mouth were always raised, as if he was a person without any worries. Xiao Yueye's first impression of him was very good.
"Ye'er, this is the gentleman I invited for you to come and say hello."
"Hello, sir." Xiao Yueye said respectfully with sufficient etiquette.
Gu Yao bent down to support him, touched his head and said softly: "I don't dare to bear such a big gift from the young master. You have grown so big so fast. I hugged you when you were one month old!"
"Miss, don't worry, Gu Yao will definitely use what he has learned in his heart to teach the young master well." He turned around and bowed deeply to Mrs. Xiao and said loudly.
Xiao Yueye's mind became more and more blurry. This gentleman seemed to be an acquaintance. His attitude toward her and her mother was not like a gentleman but like a domestic servant.
"Gu Yao, I feel confident in your work. As long as you can learn a little bit of what Mr. Ye'er Gu has learned from you, Fur Girl will be very happy."
Suppressing the disbelief and doubts in her heart, Xiao Yueye said obediently: "I understand, mother. By the way, mother, I wonder if Mr. Gu can go to the Song Mansion to give lessons to the three of us? I want to talk to Su Jing, Song Hu and the others together."
Mrs. Xiao gestured towards Gu Yao and said with a smile: "You kid, Gu Yao has done a lot for you."
"Miss, you're welcome. Master, how about we start the class again tomorrow?" Gu Yao smiled and said gently.
Xiao Yueye nodded and left the room smartly, knowing that they must have something to say.
"How are Gu Yao Jing'er and the others?" Liu'er grabbed Xiao Yueye's shoulders and asked eagerly after he left.
Gu Yao smiled helplessly and glanced at the equally eager wife and said, "They are all so nice. When Jing'er knew I was coming, she had the same reaction as you, grabbing my shoulders and wanting to eat me."
Only then did Liu Er realize what she was doing and hurriedly took back her hand, her face turned red and she spat at Gu Yao.
Mrs. Xiao's face calmed down and she said with a smile: "Come sit down. We haven't chatted together for a long time. Liu'er went to pour some 'Qiyoucao' to make tea. I remember Gu Yao's favorite drink."
Liu'er responded and trotted out with a smile.
"Miss, I see that the young master is feeling refreshed now. There is a cunning look between his eyebrows. It seems that he has really become smarter now, and you can feel at ease a lot." Gu Yao sat down on Mrs. Xiao's lower body and took it freely. Pick up a white sugar cake and put it in your mouth.
Mrs. Xiao squinted her eyes and smiled happily: "Yes, God has mercy on you at last. But Gu Yao, you will be troubled in the future. My son is enough to have a headache. His two friends are not well-behaved masters. You If you want to catch them, you really have to show some skills." After saying that, she took out a brocade handkerchief and laughed.
Gu Yao's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth were raised high and he said with a smile: "I'm afraid they are antiques?! Haha!"
. . . . . .
"Mr. Gu, how old are you this year?"
The study room in the west wing of the "Song Mansion" has been rearranged: a huge portrait of Saint Kong is hung in the middle of the room with a fruit-flavored offering underneath. The husband's desk is placed in the center facing the door. There are many books and the four treasures of the study neatly placed on the table. Opposite the gentleman, there are three smaller desks for Xiao Yueye and the others. On the left side of this bookstore is a huge bookcase filled with a variety of books.
The green smoke curling up from the incense burner on Mr.'s desk filled the room with the delicious fragrance of plum blossoms.
It was Su Jing who asked. He held his chin in his hands, his white and tender face was filled with curiosity, and his eyes blinked at Gu Yao.
Gu Yao stood in front of the three people's desk and said with a smile: "Twenty and seven years have been wasted."
There was an incredible gasping sound, and the three of them couldn't believe that Gu Yao was twenty-seven years old. Judging from his appearance and dress, as well as the scholar's unique greenness that appeared on his face from time to time, Xiao Yueye thought he was no more than ten years old when he first saw him.
Su Jing's eyes flashed with surprise. The expression on his face remained unchanged and he continued sweetly: "Xiaoye said that Mr. Gu is very powerful, so I immediately dismissed the teacher who was a Jinshi in the first year of Tianli. I didn't know that Gu What kind of fame do you have, sir?”
The expression on his face was very innocent, as if he was just asking a curious question from an ignorant child. But people who know him well know that he is making things difficult or considering the level of Mr. Gu in front of him.
The imperial examinations held every three years in the Murong Dynasty only admitted twenty or thirty candidates. Jinshi origin refers to the second-class, first-class Jinshi title and the third-class Jinshi title. Even so, in a small place like Hui County, a teacher with a second-class Jinshi background can already be regarded as a very powerful teacher.
There was no trace of embarrassment on Gu Yao's face. He said nothing and just stared at Su Jing, who the young lady nicknamed the "Smiling Tiger". Su Jing was stared at by his clear eyes, Wei Wei Mao couldn't bear it any longer, when Gu Yao said calmly: "I feel ashamed that I have never participated in an imperial examination and have no merit."
