Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

In front of the desk, Mu Tangxi, who was a little taller than Gu Shiyin, stood behind her, holding Gu Shiyin's hand and controlling the speed and heaviness of her writing.

Gu Shiyin's ears couldn't help but turn red. She felt a little shy about being so close to someone on their first meeting.

But not long after, Gu Shiyin opened her eyes wide and watched the words appear from her hands onto the paper one by one. The first word Mu Tangxi taught Gu Shiyin to write was her name.

When you first practice calligraphy, don’t you always learn how to write your own name?

After writing these three words, Mu Tangxi let go of Gu Shiyin's hand and asked her to copy it next to him.

By the way, let Mu Tangxi see how her handwriting is.

Gu Shiyin felt a little nervous. If her handwriting was ugly, would Sister Mu hate her?

The hand holding the brush began to tremble slightly, but she never put pen to paper. The more afraid she became, the more hesitant she became, and the more she hesitated, the more her hand trembled.

Mu Tangxi looked at the child in front of him who never put pen to paper, wondering what he was thinking.

She tilted her head from the side of Gu Shiyin and observed her expression. Was she... scared?

Mu Tangxi was a little confused for a moment, and the smile on her lips froze. Was she a little fierce just now?

She sighed and stroked the little girl's hair soothingly, "What's wrong? Don't be afraid, we will practice little by little."

Gu Shiyin was stunned, and her first reaction was that Sister Mu was so gentle.

As far as she could remember, apart from her brother and mother, the other people she met were either respectful servants or other brothers and sisters with strange expressions.

They never approached her, but just looked her up and down from a distance with a very strange look.

Her mother told her not to play with her brothers and sisters and not to go out to play alone.

The most important thing is to stay away from those concubines when you meet them.

Gu Shiyin didn’t understand why, but she listened to her mother very much, which also led to her not interacting with many people.

I don’t have any friends of my age to play with because I’m a little weak and I get a fever as soon as I go out.

So when Sister Mu appeared in front of her, she couldn't help but look at her.

Sister Mu is beautiful, unique and knows many things.

So after being touched on the head by Sister Mu, she turned her head and looked straight into Sister Mu's light-colored eyes, which reflected her sincere expression, "Sister, can you be friends with me?"

Mu Tangxi paused while stroking the little girl's hair. What a child that is easily deceived. No wonder the lady protected her so well.

She seemed to be joking, "What if my sister is a bad person?"

Gu Shiyin shook her head firmly, "Sister is not a bad person!"

"I have seen bad people, and I can feel their ill will towards me, but not with my sister. I am a good person!"

Mu Tangxi looked at her steadily for a while, then smiled, his eyes curved and golden sparks glittering in his pupils.

How adorable! Of course she wouldn't harbor any ill will towards a little girl who was destined to have no future.

She is not a good person. She is an evil person who climbed out of the vortex of death for revenge!

It's just that her revenge hasn't begun yet.

Injuring the big brother is just an appetizer, the real main course is still to come.

"Is that so? Then I'm glad to be your friend."

Mu Tangxi said with a smile.

After hearing Sister Mu’s answer, Gu Shiyin hugged her excitedly.

When Mu Tangxi was hugged unexpectedly, the smile on her lips disappeared for a moment, and her body stiffened. She had never been hugged by anyone before!

Before teaching Gu Shiyin how to write, she also made mental preparations in advance.

Gu Shiyin instantly felt full of motivation, picked up the brush and began to splash ink confidently.

When Mu Tangxi came to her senses, what she saw were indescribable words on the paper, and her face went blank for a moment.

Mu Tangxi once again looked at Gu Shiyin's handwriting in disbelief. It could be said that it was completely different from the words she had helped write. She couldn't even recognize which word it was!

But she quickly restrained her expression. She had just comforted the little girl and couldn't let her lose confidence again!

"You write...ok." This was the first time that Mu Tangxi found it difficult to say this.

"Really?" Gu Shiyin smiled foolishly.

Mu Tangxi nodded hesitantly.

"Let's take it slow. First, you've dipped too much ink. You need to scrape some off. Second, start practicing with the strokes."

Mu Tangxi patiently held Gu Shiyin's hand again, scraped off the excess ink on the brush, then slowed down his movements and wrote a horizontal stroke for Shiyin to demonstrate.

Then he let go of her hand and let her try it herself. He repeated this over and over again. Gu Shiyin's hand became more and more stable, and she could write a horizontal stroke smoothly.

This horizontal line is finally visible.

Mu Tangxi looked at the words on the paper with some relief. It can be seen that Gu Shiyin has worked very hard to make the words that were unbearable to look at at the beginning become pleasing to the eye now.

Mu Tangxi signaled Gu Shiyin to put down the brush. They had been practicing for a while, and Gu Shiyin must have been practicing before coming to the study. She had practiced enough today.

Anyway, Gu Shiyin is still young, and she can still...

Ah, she forgot that Gu Shiyin might not live to see her coming of age.

Before, Mu Tangxi and Gu Shiyin were not very familiar with each other, but now she was very confused. How could the little girl who was so well protected by her mother and brother die?

She looked closely at Gu Shiyin's pale complexion, which came from not going out often. Could it be because he had a serious illness?

Or... was he harmed by someone else in the mansion?

Those concubines, illegitimate sons and daughters? Marquis Jingyang? Or that woman?

It’s a pity that I may not see such a simple girl again next time I meet her.

"Sister, what do you usually do?" Suddenly a voice came to her ears.

Mu Tangxi came back to her senses and said, "I usually..." What did she usually do?

She just returned to her childhood not long ago, so how could she remember what she usually did as a child?

But her daily routine these days, "I usually practice etiquette, play chess, calligraphy and painting, read books, and eat cakes."

"Reading? What kind of books do you like to read?" Gu Shiyin looked at her curiously.

Mu Tangxi's lips curled slightly, "It's a very popular poetry collection recently. Many people bought it, so I bought it to take a look. It's really good."

"Ah! That poetry collection, my brother also bought it!" Gu Shiyin was very happy to be sharing the same book with her sister, which meant they could continue talking about the book.

Mu Tangxi was not surprised, after all, even Prime Minister Mu bought it.

"What kind of person do you think wrote this collection of poems?"

"He should have been a top scholar? I remember there was a line in a poem: The spring breeze is blowing and the horse's hooves are galloping... I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day?"

“It’s a collection of poems written by different people.”
