The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Chapter 24 Studying with Brother Shen

Ji Wanran looked Yu Shen in the eyes and asked him solemnly: "Shen'er, you know that if you want to teach your sister Xin'er, it means that you have to learn from your master more seriously than before, because if you don't learn well, you can't teach Xin'er well. Not only that, if you want to teach your sister, it means that you have to give up your rest time to teach your sister Xin'er. If this is the case, will you still teach Xin'er?"

Qin Mingxuan also looked at Yu Shen seriously with a straight face, which made Xin He even more nervous. She looked at Yu Shen eagerly, "Brother Shen, I will study hard, and... and mother and father both praised Xin Er for being a smart child. I will learn quickly and won't take up too much of Brother Shen's time."

Yu Shen looked at his master and his wife, then at the nervous little girl, and nodded solemnly to Ji Wanran, "Master's wife, I have promised Sister Xin'er that I am willing to teach her."

Xin He happily rushed over and hugged Yu Shen: "Brother Shen, thank you! Xin Er will definitely study hard."

Xin He rushed over and hugged Ji Wan Ran again: "Mom! I want a beautiful little school bag, the kind with a little rabbit." Ji Wan Ran nodded Xin He's big head: "Okay, okay, mom will make you a beautiful little school bag. Embroider a beautiful little rabbit."

Xinhe jumped and danced with joy. She took Yu Shen's hand and asked, "Brother Shen, can we start classes tomorrow? What are we going to learn?" Yu Shen looked at the ecstatic Xinhe. It seemed that this little girl wanted to go to school very much and she could be so happy.

Yu Shen thought for a moment and said, "Master used the Three Character Classic to enlighten Shen'er, so Xin'er should also start with the Three Character Classic."

Xin He pulled Yu Shen and kept mumbling to him, about the time for tomorrow's class and how to attend the class. Yu Shen felt a little regretful. It didn't seem like a good idea to teach this little girl, but he had already promised his teacher's wife, so he had to do it no matter how difficult it was.

At this time, the maids came to invite everyone to the dining room for dinner. Xinhe continued to pull Yu Shen to the dining room. Ji Wanran and Qin Mingxuan followed the two children not far away. Qin Mingxuan leaned over and asked Ji Wanran in a low voice: "Madam, why did you promise your daughter to let her study with Shen'er?"

Ji Wanran smiled and looked at Yu Shen and Xin'er in front of her: "Husband, don't you think Shen'er is too cold?" She thought of the smiling sister Zhen and continued: "Husband, you know how bright and enthusiastic sister Zhen is, but beauty is envied by heaven. Unfortunately, sister Zhen died early, leaving behind a poor child like Shen'er, who has never seen her mother since childhood. Lord Yu has a hurdle in his heart. You have seen how he treats Shen'er."

Ji Wanran looked at Yu Shen. She had actually long discovered the envy and even disgust that Shen Er had for Xin He. Whenever Shen Er acted like a spoiled child around her or Ming Xuan, she could see Yu Shen silently looking at the three of them with a complicated expression.

Ji Wanran looked at Qin Mingxuan: "My husband, I am very worried. Shen'er lacks the warmth of family. He is so small, but he is always so cold and rarely smiles. He lacks the ease and joy that a child should have. I am really worried that Shen'er will grow up like this, which will be bad for him."

Ji Wanran looked at Yu Shen's daughter who was jumping and chattering beside her, and a loving smile appeared on her face: "Letting Yu Shen teach Nannan doesn't mean that Nannan must learn anything, but I want Shen'er to spend more time with Nannan. Our Nannan is passionate and sincere. I believe Nannan will gradually change Shen'er and make him like a real child. This is the most important thing."

Qin Mingxuan stretched out his hand and held Ji Wanran's slender waist: "Madam, you really love Shen'er! I have persuaded Brother Huai'an many times, but he said that he really couldn't face his son. When he saw his son, he thought of his dead wife, and he couldn't get over it."

Qin Mingxuan sighed, "I hope time can dilute the pain in Brother Huai'an's heart. Let's be nicer to Shen'er."

Yu Shen had never spoken so much to Xinhe before. He always had a cold face before, and Xinhe would be very obedient when she saw him and never dared to talk much.

But ever since I agreed to Xinhe's request and sent Mingmo to monitor Su Peiyun, the little girl felt that Yu Shen had become her own person. Now that I have promised to teach her to read, the little girl has become even more arrogant and seems to have become much closer to me.

Yu Shen never knew that this girl could talk so much. There was no rule in the master's family that people should not talk while eating or sleeping, unlike his own family where gossip was not allowed during meals. At the master's family's dinner table, the family always talked about a lot of interesting things, especially the little girl, who talked a lot. Even if she found an interesting little ant in the garden, the little girl would talk about it for a long time with great interest.

When Yu Shen went to bed at night, he could still hear the chattering of the little girl in his ears, and he couldn't help but worry about his days as a teacher.

The next morning, Yu Shen finished his class with Qin Mingxuan, packed up his books and brushes, and bowed to the teacher: "Teacher, Shen'er will take his leave and go back."

Qin Mingxuan smiled at Yu Shen and said, "Shen'er, my daughter will come to you for class soon. Are you ready as a little teacher?"

Yu Shen blushed a little, lowered his head and said softly: "Teacher laughed at me, Shen'er shouldn't...?" Qin Mingxuan immediately interrupted Yu Shen, "Shen'er, the teacher is not laughing at you. Your teacher's wife and I are very happy that you can take the initiative to help Nannan. We both believe that you can do a good job."

Hearing the teacher's words, Yu Shen raised his head and looked at the teacher. Qin Mingxuan reached out and stroked Shen'er's head, "Shen'er, you are a good child. It's just that Nannan is too naughty. Shen'er will have to work hard!"

Yu Shen shook his head, "Sister Xin'er is very good, Shen'er is not afraid of hard work!" Qin Mingxuan nodded with a smile: "Go, Shen'er."

Yu Shen left Qin Mingxuan's study and walked towards Shensi Garden. As he walked, he thought about what his master had said, "Shen'er, you are a good child." These words actually made him tear up. Yu Shen had heard very few such words of praise.

He was sad when his grandmother saw his disgusted look and his father and son saw his complicated and painful expression. He didn't understand why his closest people treated him like this. Later, he knew that he was the calamity that killed his mother. He gradually became silent. His home was terribly quiet. No one talked to him and no one praised him. Fortunately, his father later asked him to recognize Qin as his teacher. His father often went out to work, and every time he went out, he entrusted him to the teacher's wife to take care of him.

In this family, no one despised him as a disaster star. He received the love and appreciation he had longed for. It turned out that there were still people in this world who cared about him, praised him, and treated him sincerely.

In this family, he felt that he was not alone. He had the teacher and his wife who cared for him and loved him, as well as the little girl.

The little girl was greedy and playful, but she would secretly bring snacks to the teacher's study, would follow behind her and nag her to take more rest, and would tell her in a long-winded way how she and Mingmo teased cats and dogs in the garden, but in fact, it was just to make her happy.

Yu Shen knew that the little girl was very sensitive. She knew his bad feelings towards her and she had an inexplicable fear of him. Yu Shen could see the little girl's grievance and fear very clearly.

But the little girl couldn't help but move closer to him. She was not afraid of his cold words and still moved closer to him tenaciously.

Yu Shen found that he no longer hated the little girl. Such a sincere little girl was like a little sun, warm and dazzling. Yu Shen was too lonely, and he liked this little sun.

"Brother Shen, Daddy finally let you back. Xin'er has been waiting for a long time." The little girl's voice rang beside his ear. Yu Shen raised his head and saw the little girl standing at the gate of the garden with a sweet smile under the bright sunshine.

The little girl still had her hair in a bun as usual, and the silver bells on her head were replaced by two pearl flowers. She wore a pink long skirt, a butterfly jade pendant hung around her waist, and a light blue small schoolbag slung across her body. There was indeed a chubby little white rabbit embroidered on it, which looked very cute.

When Xin He saw Yu Shen looking at her bunny, she immediately showed off by holding up her schoolbag so that Yu Shen could see it more clearly. She asked proudly, "Brother Shen, isn't this schoolbag beautiful? Mother made it for Xin He, and this cute bunny was embroidered by her herself."

Yu Shen raised the corner of his mouth. Why did he feel that the master's wife had deliberately embroidered the little rabbit to be fat, just like the fat and silly little owner of the schoolbag.

Yu Shen looked at the smug little girl, then at the chubby little rabbit, and replied calmly: "Yes, Master's wife embroidered it very much like it." The little girl didn't hear the hidden meaning of Yu Shen's words, but Liu Niang beside her did. Liu Niang held back her laughter and bowed to Yu Shen: "Master Shen, I have sent the young lady here. I will come to take her back in an hour."

Yu Shen nodded to indicate that he understood. Then he walked to his study. Xin He pouted and looked at Liu Niang, "Nanny, Brother Shen never praises Xin Er, but only praises mother for her good embroidery. Xin Er looks so beautiful today!"

Liu Niang smiled and coaxed Xin He: "Young lady, you know that Master Shen is just so quiet. Our young lady is so beautiful, Master has seen it."

"Okay, goodbye, Niang Liu. Xin'er is going to class." Xinhe was cheered up by Niang Liu's words. She waved her little hand and said goodbye to her nanny, then happily followed Yu Shen to the study.

Liu Niang watched Xin He and Shen Er enter the study before she turned and left. These two children had very different personalities. Master Shen acted like a little adult all day long, with no expression on his face, unlike her own daughter, whose emotions were clearly written on her face.

However, Liu Niang could also see that Master Shen's attitude towards her young lady had changed. In the past, there was always a hint of resistance and rejection, and she was always worried that Master Shen would do something bad to her young lady.

The young lady was unaware of this and followed Master Shen to please him, offering him food and drinks, and being very attentive. Master Shen used to be cold and indifferent to the young lady, but now he was much more friendly.

Just like before, although Master Shen didn't smile or praise the young lady, Lady Liu could tell that Master Shen was happy to see the young lady, as evidenced by the slightly raised corners of his mouth.

My daughter is pretty and cute, and she is also so well-behaved and considerate. How could anyone not like her daughter? The two children will definitely get along well.

Liu Niang walked towards the kitchen with confidence. Her daughter had to study hard at such a young age, so she must have a good meal at noon! She had to ask the cook to make some dishes that the daughter liked.

Yu Shen led Xin He into his study. Yesterday, Qin Mingxuan had asked Yu Shen to buy a small desk for Xin He in his study, and prepare writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

Xin He sat beside his small desk and touched the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, feeling extremely curious. These were not available to Xin He in his previous life.

In her previous life, Xinhe grew up with her wet nurse until she was eight or nine years old. Her daily life was already very difficult, and the wet nurse did not have the energy to send Xinhe to school. Later, she joined the Dark Guard Camp, where she practiced more martial arts, and her literacy was limited to being able to deliver messages.

In her previous life, Xinhe was just chosen as the wife's substitute. Yu Shen asked a teacher to give Xinhe some urgent cram lessons. The little things she learned were only for Xinhe to be able to cope with some big scenes and not lose face for the wife of the Prime Minister. After all, no one dared to compete with the wife of the Prime Minister in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Today, I am able to sit here and study calligraphy, and I am learning from the future Prime Minister. Xin He couldn't help but secretly sigh, if I hadn't been reborn, how could I have such an adventure?

Xin He stood up straight and looked at her teacher: "Brother Shen, what are we learning today?" Yu Shen suddenly wanted to tease her: "You can't call me Brother Shen in class."

Xin He was stunned. If she was not allowed to call him Brother Shen, then what could she call him? She stared at Yu Shen with her big dark eyes, questioning him. Yu Shen felt a little guilty when she looked at him, and coughed softly with his hands covering his mouth: "In class, you have to call me teacher."

Xin He tilted his head and thought for a while, then opened his mouth and shouted, "Master Brother, can we start the class now?"

What master brother? That's nonsensical. Yu Shen didn't bother to argue with the little girl anymore. Just call her whatever you want.

Yu Shen took out a piece of paper, wrote the six words "When a man is born, his nature is good", then gave it to Xinhe, asked Xinhe to read it with him, and then practice accordingly.

When Xin He saw these words, he couldn't help but secretly complained: "Humph, you look down on me. Even if I was an uneducated secret guard in my previous life, I can still recognize a lot of simple words like this. Do you really think that I am a little kid who knows nothing?"

Xinhe reached out to take the brush, and when she saw her chubby little hands, she couldn't help but sigh again. Wasn't she just a little kid? She was clamoring to learn skills because she was afraid that she would do something inappropriate for her age in the future and it would be difficult to explain. Forget it, she had to learn it no matter how simple it was.

Xin He followed Yu Shen and read several times, and then began to practice calligraphy. Yu Shen found that the fat girl was very serious about learning, and she was really smart. After he read a few times, the little girl could read.

Yu Shen asked Xinhe to spread out the paper and start practicing calligraphy. He then read quietly on the side and looked at the calligraphy Xinhe had practiced every once in a while.

Xin He found that he had overestimated himself, always thinking that he was reborn, and writing a few words was a piece of cake. But the fact was that he was indeed reborn, but he did not bring any martial arts or writing skills from his previous life.

It seemed like a few simple words, but her little hands could never write well with the brush. The more she wrote, the more flustered she became. Xinhe looked at the crooked words she had written and felt like crying, it was too difficult!
