After a while, Song Zhengdu and Song Wanzhou arrived at the main hall.

Song Wanzhou ran in in small steps, and when he saw two unfamiliar faces, he was stunned at first, and then looked at Xu An and Xu Yue curiously.

Song Zhengdu followed slowly behind with a gentle smile on his face.

Song Yan looked at the twins, then at Xu An and his sister, and said, "Erya, Erlin, this is Xu An and Xu Yue."

"From now on, Xu Yue will live with Erya, and Xu An will live with Erlin."

Song Wanzhou blinked, walked up to Xu Yue, took her hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Xu Yue, let's play together in the future."

Xu Yue pursed her lips and said, "Miss."

Song Wanzhou waved her hand: "Don't call me Miss, we will be sisters from now on, just call me Erya."

Xu Yue was somewhat flattered, but still shook her head: "How can this be? You are the master, it is too rude to call you by your name."

Song Wanzhou subconsciously looked at Song Yan, and Song Yan said, "Just do as Xu Yue said, but in private, you can be more casual."

Song Wanzhou was happy then, and took Xu Yue's hand and said, "Sister Xu Yue, let's go out and play now."

Xu Yue looked at Song Yan, and seeing that he had no objection, he followed Song Wanzhou out.

Song Zhengdu was a little surprised. He looked at Xu An and couldn't help asking Song Yan, "Brother, I'm usually in private school and don't need anyone to follow me. Why do you let Xu An follow me?"

It’s because you always stay up late to study, and I’m afraid you’ll get tired of yourself.

Song Yan thought to herself, but said: "Xu An is down-to-earth. I think he is smart. It would be helpful for you to follow him. Besides, you can also teach him to read some books and let him learn more skills."

Song Zhengdu suddenly realized: "Brother, you have considered everything. I understand."

Then he looked at Xu An and said gently, "I'll have to trouble you from now on."

Xu An quickly bowed and said, "It is my honor to serve the Second Young Master."

As soon as Song Zhengdu left, Song Yan called Xu An over and quietly reminded him, "Xu An, follow Erlin, pay more attention to his daily life. He studies hard, don't let him get too tired."

Xu An nodded solemnly and answered seriously: "Don't worry, sir. I understand."

Song Yan nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then said: "Also, if you have the chance, you can also learn more knowledge from Erlin, which will be beneficial to you in the future."

A trace of gratitude flashed in Xu An's eyes, and he bowed again: "Thank you for your advice, sir."

Song Yan waved her hand, signaling him to leave: "Go ahead."

Xu An retreated respectfully.

Afterwards, Xu Yue moved into the west courtyard and lived and ate with Song Wanzhou. Although they were servants, Song Wanzhou treated her like a sister.

Xu Yue had just arrived and was a little cautious in doing things, while Song Wanzhou was a careless and carefree person and did not notice Xu Yue's restraint at all.

Every day she took Xu Yue to run around in the farm, either teasing cats and dogs or climbing trees to rob bird nests, like a tomboy, completely lacking the dignified demeanor of a young lady.

Xu Yue was nervous at first, but as time went on, she was infected by Song Wanzhou's liveliness and gradually let go of her inhibitions.

Sometimes Xu An would come to visit his sister. Only when he saw Xu Yue smiling more and more and becoming more lively and cheerful did he feel relieved.

When he returned to the north courtyard, he heard Song Zhengdu reading aloud in the study. Xu An walked over quietly and stood at the door without going in to disturb him.

After Song Zhengdu finished reading an article and took a short break, Xu An knocked on the door and went in.

"Second Young Master, I'll bring you some snacks." Xu An put the tray on the table.

Song Zhengdu put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "Xu An, thank you for your hard work."

Xu An quickly shook his head: "Second Young Master, you are too kind. This is what I should do."

Song Zhengdu picked up a slightly worn book, handed it to Xu An, and said, "This is the book I read when I was young. Take it and read it first. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me."

Xu An took it with both hands, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Second Young Master. I will study it carefully."

"Have you ever read a book before?" Song Zhengdu asked.

Xu An lowered his head slightly, and said a little embarrassedly: "My family is poor, and I have never been to school properly. I just learned a few words from the teacher in the village."

"It's okay. As long as you are willing to learn, you will make progress in the future." Song Zhengdu encouraged.

Xu An nodded heavily: "Second Young Master, rest assured, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

At this time, Song Zhengdu picked up the ink stick and was about to grind the ink. Seeing this, Xu An hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Second Young Master, let me do it."

As he spoke, he gently took the ink stick from Song Zhengdu's hand and began to grind it carefully in the inkstone.

Song Zhengdu was still not used to being served closely, especially when he was reading.

But Xu An was very considerate, never talked too much, and never disturbed him. Gradually, Song Zhengdu no longer cared.

He picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper.

Xu An served quietly at the side, his eyes occasionally falling on the words written by Song Zhengdu, his heart full of admiration.

At this moment, a servant's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Second Young Master, the Master asked me to come and tell you that he is going to town in a while and wants to ask if you want to go with him."

Song Zhengdu thought for a moment and responded, "You go and tell my elder brother, I'll go."

The servant took the order and left.

Song Zhengdu quickly said to Xu An, "Go to my room and get the calligraphy I wrote a few days ago. Remember to be careful."

Xu An nodded in agreement, turned around and hurried towards Song Zhengdu's house.

Not long after, Xu An came back holding the calligraphy in both hands.

"Second Young Master, the calligraphy has been obtained." Xu An said.

Song Zhengdu took a look, confirmed it was correct and said, "Let's go and meet up with Big Brother."

When the two arrived at the door, Song Yan was already waiting beside the carriage.

"Second brother, you're taking so long to get better." Song Wanzhou leaned his head out of the carriage and shouted.

Song Zhengdu smiled and said, "Here he comes."

"Get in the car," Song Yan urged, "If you delay any longer, it will be dark."

Song Wanzhou and Xu Yue were in one car, while Song Yan, Song Zhengdu and Xu An were in another.

Shu Changyu thought the town was too noisy and did not go along this time.

Song Yan looked at the calligraphy in Song Zhengdu's hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

"This is a piece of calligraphy I wrote a few days ago. I wanted to bring it to you for your review." Song Zhengdu said seriously.

If Song Zhengdu hadn't said it, Song Yan would have almost forgotten that Master He had fallen and was recuperating at home.

In this era of respecting teachers, Song Zhengdu's behavior is perfectly normal.

Song Yan thought about how Master He had carefully cultivated his son Erlin and taught him almost everything he knew. Song Yan felt that this was the right thing to do, so he said, "I'll go with you later."

The carriage bumped along the way and soon arrived in the town.
