Chapter 144: The martial arts school refuses to accept female disciples, Si Miao receives her salary

"Excuse me, how old are your daughters?" Yang Wuming asked.

"fourteen."

"sixteen."

"fifteen."

...several aunties answered.

"Sorry, it's really inconvenient." Yang Wuming bowed.

Ah Fu stretched out his hand and motioned for the aunties to go out.

Ding Xirui and An Yumo looked at each other, and the excitement they had just felt disappeared.

"Master, why not?" An Yumo asked.

Yang Wuming began to explain, but he omitted the last part.

"Master, there are only a few of us. There is room in the yard." An Yumo asked, but Ding Xirui pulled her sleeve.

"No more words, you two continue your practice." Yang Wuming stood up and walked into the front hall.

"Xi Rui, why don't you let me continue?"

"Master, there must be other reasons why he doesn't accept more female disciples. What I just said is not the key."

"Why exactly?"

"You just heard that Master specifically asked about age. This is the reason. If several young ladies with different personalities suddenly came to the martial arts school, Master would find it difficult to discipline them and it would be easy for something to go wrong, which would be detrimental to the reputation of the martial arts school."

"So that's how it is. If I were your master, I would also be worried." An Yumo nodded.

"Alas. Accepting female disciples may cause problems, but if we don't accept them, some things will be unshakable." Ding Xirui shook his head.

"what?"

"There is probably nothing in this world that men cannot do, except giving birth to children. But there are limits to what women can do. For example, there are no female detectives in the government offices, and there are no female officials in the officialdom," Ding Xirui paused and lowered his voice, "Only men can be emperors."

An Yumo was stunned.

"If women are given opportunities in all kinds of things, they will be no worse than men. Just like you, are your cooking skills worse than the chef in the restaurant?"

"Well, if it's a competition, I won't lose." An Yumo nodded, "So, if a martial arts school accepts female disciples, a private school may accept female students, a medical clinic will accept female apprentices, the government office can have female detectives, and a restaurant can have female owners..." she continued.

"Yeah, that's exactly the point." Ding Xirui applauded.

"What should we do now?" An Yumo asked, pointing at the wooden stakes in the martial arts field.

"I don't know." Ding Xirui spread out his hands.

"Are you two slacking off?"

At some point, Qin Xiaofeng walked behind them.

"Senior Brother Qin." The two of them saluted quickly.

"Is there anything troubling you? Do you need my help?" Qin Xiaofeng said.

"I'm afraid, senior brother can't help." An Yumo's eyes were dull and he shook his head.

"You speak up first. One more person means one more idea. As the saying goes, 'three heads are better than one.'"

"Senior Brother, Master refuses to accept more female disciples. Do you have any solution?" An Yumo pouted and said.

"This..." Qin Xiaofeng touched the hilt of the knife at his waist and his eyes began to avoid.

"Well, it seems I can't really help you with this. However, I know someone who might be able to."

"Really?" An Yumo took a step forward, and Qin Xiaofeng quickly walked a few steps to the side.

"Junior Sister An, don't get excited. The person I'm talking about is Master's daughter. This year is Master's 70th birthday, and Senior Sister will definitely come back to visit. Then, I will introduce you two to her. If you can convince her, it will be easy to pass Master's test."

"Senior Brother Qin, Master's 70th birthday? When is it?" Ding Xirui asked.

"There are still two months. However, Senior Sister should be back early, and then you will see her."

"Okay." The two nodded.

An Yumo thought of another question:

"Brother, can you let me take care of Master's birthday banquet?"

"Go find Senior Brother Ah Fu. As long as he agrees, it will be fine."

"Well."

A smile spread across An Yumo's face, even her eyebrows and eyes were filled with smiles.

A hint of panic appeared in Qin Xiaofeng's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. However, it was caught by Ding Xirui.

"You two, hurry up and practice. I...I'll take my leave now."

Qin Xiaofeng pinched the handle of the knife, turned and left.

"Thank you, senior brother. Goodbye!" An Yumo shouted.

Ding Xirui narrowed her eyes, she looked at An Yumo, then at Qin Xiaofeng, and smelled a scent of gossip.

"What's wrong with your eyes? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" An Yumo asked.

"I'm fine." Ding Xirui returned to normal. The silly girl in front of him didn't notice anything yet, and he was really worried about her. Ding Xirui patted his face and held back his laughter.

"Come on, Master An, let's practice martial arts!"

The two men rolled up their sleeves and got ready.

When they returned home that evening, Ding Xirui and Lin Mingxuan met Ren Simiao at the gate of the courtyard.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you're back." Ren Simiao's voice trembled slightly, but his eyes were steady, just like when he first arrived at the Lin Mansion.

"Let's go in and talk." Ding Xirui held her back, while Lin Mingxuan paused and distanced himself from the two of them.

Several people walked towards the main house.

"Si Miao, is there anything I can help you with?" Ding Xirui asked.

Si Miao turned her head and took a package from Xiao Lian's hand.

"Today, my mother and I received our wages from the embroidery workshop, so we bought gifts for everyone in the family. These are two outer coats. I hope my second sister-in-law and second brother like them."

"Thank you, Si Miao. It just so happens that your second brother is going to Lan County. Let him wear it on the way."

"Okay." Ren Simiao looked at Lin Mingxuan and nodded.

"Si Miao has grown up and is now a person who can make money. I want to give you a gift."

Ding Xirui took her and walked towards the study.

Opening the box that Mr. Zheng had given him, Ding Xirui said:

"If you make money, you must learn to keep accounts. Write down how much you earn and how much you spend. Here are some blank books. You can pick and use as many as you want."

"Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Ren Simiao bowed slightly, then squatted down and took two books.

"How is Auntie? I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to visit you."

"Mother is doing well now. She has become friends with the sisters-in-law in the embroidery workshop. They chat and laugh every day and even have lunch with them."

"That's good."

It seems that the "social approach" worked.

After dinner, Ding Xirui helped Lin Mingxuan pack his luggage in the study.

"The coats that Si Miao and Aunt bought are nice. Let's wash them tomorrow and put them in the package."

"Row."

He took two sets of spare clothes, put some change and copper coins in his purse, and picked up his umbrella, putting it aside.

"Is there any tooth powder in the study? I'll fill some for you."

When Ding Xirui turned around, he ran into someone's arms.

Lin Mingxuan stretched out his arms and hugged her.

Someone's face suddenly felt hot.

"Take a break."

"Ah."

She stretched out her hand, put her arm around the waist of the person opposite her, turned her head, and found a comfortable position.

The sound of his heartbeat came over.
