After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

The next day, Yingge got up at dawn, and Xue kept nagging her. "Is it really okay for you to go alone? Or I should go with you."

"Mom, don't treat me like a child. I'm an adult now. You don't have to worry about me. I can do it myself."

"But, originally the Liu Mansion would have offered you a carriage to take you there, but you refused because you were afraid of the trouble. Now you have to walk to school every day, and your body won't be able to handle it after a while."

"It depends on how you look at this matter. You have to think about it from another perspective. I have also been exercising over time, and my body will definitely be stronger by then."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I can't beat you."

Yingge carried the lunch she was going to eat at school at noon and walked leisurely to Xiaolin Hall alone.

When I entered the school, Zhixing was not there. I just saw him writing a line of words on the table, "Little kid, I'm going out to find something to eat. When you come, prepare for the class by yourself. It doesn't have to be anything special. Let's learn "Ode to the Humble Dwelling" in the first class. It's quite appropriate. You can recite it first. I'll be back soon."

Zhixing really came back soon as he said he would. When he came back, he was carrying a green basket. Judging from the weight, it was quite heavy. Yingge guessed that he might have bought some strong-tasting food, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to smell the smell from such a distance. She couldn't even look directly at it.

Yingge covered her nose and said in a muffled voice, "Master, what did you buy? It smells so special. Do you have any special hobbies?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I, your teacher, went down the mountain early in the morning to buy pig offal from Butcher Zhang. Although it smells ugly, it tastes delicious. Do you know how to cook it?"

"Master, just give up on this idea. I would rather not eat it than get involved."

"Hey, this is so delicious, how come you don't want to eat it? I even asked someone to save some for you."

"Master, this is the time you mentioned. Look at the sky. It's already noon. I'm going to go home from school and eat."

"You even brought food with you. Hehe, hehe, look, this was originally prepared for you, but you prepared the food yourself. Look, don't you have to compensate me a little? Yeah, right?"

"Hmph, you've been waiting for me here for quite some time, right? You feel it's not appropriate to ask me on the first day, so I'll prepare lunch for you tomorrow."

"No way, I just want to have that bite, you know."

"It's not impossible to give it to you, but..."

"But what? But you have to promise me one thing."

"What do you say first?"

"The question is very simple. I don't need you to teach me anything. I just want you to teach me your understanding, the purpose of doing something, and the effect you want to achieve."

"Hey, you are my apprentice, right? How come the situation is reversed?"

"Then just tell me whether you agree or not."

While asking Zhixing, Yingge slowly opened her rice basket. The basket contained the meal that Yingge's mother, Xue, had prepared early in the morning. The portions were large and the dishes were delicious, especially the bowl of braised pork, which was cooked to perfection.

Before Yingge completely lifted the cloth covering her, Zhixing, like a child, directly grabbed a pot of wine and started drinking.

“That’s really rude.”

"Why should I be polite to you?"

“Have you ever studied at university? Have you ever studied The Doctrine of the Mean?” Zhixing clapped his hands, and the only shaky table collapsed.

At this moment, Yingge was truly convinced that this master who had appeared out of nowhere had real skills.

"Humph, since you can't win the argument, you use your status to pressure me. I don't have much education, so I want to be your disciple. Master, please teach me slowly. There's no need to rush."

"Yes, you are right."

On a chair in Xiaolin Hall, there were some yellowed books that Yingge had bought from outside. The covers read "Zizhi Tongjian", "Spring and Autumn Annals", "Jianlue" and "Shiji".

"You're not that old, but you have great ambitions. You bought so many books at once. Can you finish reading them?"

"Master, do you know what your behavior is called?"

"What? This behavior is called PUA. But I tell you, I don't accept your criticism. I have my own rhythm."

"Stop talking nonsense, read quickly and loudly."

"Is now okay?"

"It's too loud."

"now what?"

"The sound is too quiet."

"Master, don't you think there's something wrong?"

"You are deliberately making things difficult for me."

"Humph, you figured this out. Fine, you can teach me."

Yingge adapted quickly to the daily jokes like this, and Zhixing taught her a wide variety of things every day.

It never hurts to focus on one thing and learn more.

"Is it time for dinner?"

"Master, are you sure you want to eat at this time? I'm done with school."

When Zhixing heard her say this, he looked up at the weather outside and saw that it was already getting dark.

"Go back and write down what you learned today 10 times. I will check it tomorrow."

"What's the difference between what you're doing and the boss saying we need to hold a meeting right before the end of the day?"

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, ten times is too much. Remember to tell me in advance when you arrange your homework tomorrow."

Zhixing beat his chest and stamped his feet, wailing, "It's so easy for me to be this teacher, it's too humble. If you don't finish it today, I will punish you twice as much tomorrow."

"Huh, chameleon, your face changes so quickly."

"I am your master after all, and I still have to respect my teacher."

Different from the joyous day here, the famous Chungui tutor in Qingfeng Academy, after school, instructed the servants that if anyone came to see him, they should not refuse but go directly to see him.

The servant was puzzled. This was different from what was said a few days ago. Could it be that some important person came to see me?

But, Mr. Chungui said that even the prime minister of the current dynasty, who brought the former little prince here, was required to wait outside the door until he was done with get out of class!

Yingge left Xiaolinyuan and walked along the official road. Passersby on the road only saw a small shadow that flashed by, and they couldn't even make out the color of the person's clothes before she disappeared.

It was just time to get out of school, and Su Qinghe ordered his servants to drive the slow train to Doctor Li's pharmacy. He wanted to ask again where the prescription that treated his grandfather came from.

From a distance, he saw a thin figure running towards him. When he got closer, he found that it was Yingge. The servants around him were still reminding him of the Cuju game he had agreed to play with Liu Ziheng tomorrow. When he saw Yingge, he thought that it would be more interesting if she was included. Before he could say anything, he only saw her back.

Su Qinghe muttered, "When did this guy run so fast? He's in such a hurry. He wants to find his mother later!"

"Master, what did you say? Do you want to order something?"

"No, stop talking nonsense and let's go."

In the side alley in front of the Liu Mansion, a group of little kids gather here every day to fly kites, play football, and play hide-and-seek.

It was their turn to play football today. As soon as Yingge arrived at the door, he was surrounded by a group of children.

"Brother Yingge, you're back. Want to play football? Come play with us."

Yingge reached out and rubbed the head of the child who was speaking, and with some malicious interest, messed up their hair.

The older children said angrily, "Brother Yingge, you are so mean. You messed up my hair. I won't play with you anymore."

After saying that, he ran away.

Before entering the mixed residence, I met the eldest son of the second branch of the Liu family on the road. Liu Ziheng, who was fifteen years old this year, was dressed like a nouveau riche. He said sarcastically: "Hey, let's take a look. This is the future top scholar who has returned!"

"Why don't you understand the lessons taught by the teacher in the academy? It's right that you don't understand. Hurry up and leave, so as not to embarrass yourself in the end. If it were me, I would hit my head against a stone pillar and die."

"That's it. You just wanted to play football. Why don't you participate in the Cuju competition next month? Humph, you overestimate your abilities."

Yingge didn't want to bother with this group of brainless people and waste her time. She just wanted to go back quickly because the medicine she was taking that could change the pitch of her voice was almost finished.

But just because she doesn't want to doesn't mean others will let her go.

"Hey, hey, don't go. Why are you scared, you coward."

"How about this, if you participate, I'll give you money as compensation, how about that?"

"can."

"What did you say?"

Yingge repeated: "I said yes."

"Hey, everyone, come and take a look. How did she win? The second young master of the Liu family. Aren't you curious? Don't you want to see it again?"

"Oh, okay, you are right. Let me confirm that you really want to compete with the Second Young Master, right?"

"Yes, absolutely true."

"Oh, there's something exciting to watch. The future number one scholar is going to compete with Mr. Liu II."

"After what they did, Yingge immediately became a topic of conversation again."

The Liu family originally had military commanders as their successors, so there was a courtyard in the backyard of the Liu family that was large enough to accommodate

A huge training ground for 200 people.

"Hey, this is our Liu family's martial arts training ground. Choose a weapon for yourself. Hmph, you can choose anything."

The servant next to him saw this and reminded: "Second Master, aren't you being too kind to her by letting her choose for herself?"

"What if the choice is..."

"If I remember correctly, you are a martial artist, right? Are you afraid of me, a person who has never received any martial arts training?" Liu Ziheng heard this and waved his hand to fend off the servant who came forward to persuade him: "Well, I don't think you dare. With your small body, it would be strange if you could beat me."

"That's true. I did agree to compete with you, but I didn't say I'd compete with you right now, right?"

"Why, do you still want to cheat?"

"I'm not cheating, but look, I've never learned martial arts. Isn't it unfair for you to fight me like this?"

"So how do you want to set an example?"

"How about this, after I learn martial arts, we can have a fair fight?"

"Master, Master, if Master Yingge fails to learn, then this competition and bet will be nothing but empty talk."

"Yes, how can I believe that you can learn it? What if you can't learn it? Wouldn't I have to wait for you forever?"

"Well, let's set a deadline, how about three months?"

"What do you mean?"

"What this means is that in three months, whether I have learned it or not, I will compete with you."

As soon as Yingge finished speaking, the other onlookers around exclaimed.

"Is Ying Ge Po crazy? How can she compete with the Second Young Master? The Second Young Master has been practicing martial arts since he was a child!"

"Master Yingge is small, so don't let anything happen to him. While they haven't made up their minds yet, why don't you go and call the master over? This matter is going to get out of hand."
