After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

The three brothers looked at Fang Nanzhi curiously. Is this the girl Grandpa accepted as his apprentice? The one who would study with them in the future!

What a talent this girl has for studying!

Although they were surprised, they were still very polite. The oldest one, Zheng Dalang, took the lead and greeted them politely.

"I'm Zheng Xiyun, I'm eleven years old. If you have any questions here, you can come to me."

Fang Nanzhi also responded politely, and then, not surprisingly, she took out a small gift from the backpack with another jingle.

"I know you, this is a gift I specially prepared for you! It's just a small token of my appreciation, take it!"

She had made preparations before coming. Fang Nanzhi felt that, after all, she was their grandfather's apprentice, and was older than these people in terms of generation. As an elder, it was natural to prepare gifts when meeting a younger person.

Zheng Xiyun was a little surprised and unexpectedly happy, and he thanked him happily.

This person is so polite. They haven't even met each other, but she actually prepared a gift for him?

Is this gift exclusive to him, or to everyone?

Next, the two younger brothers came forward one by one to introduce themselves——

Fang Nanzhi: "Xi Ri, I know you, this is a gift I specially prepared for you! It's just a small token of my appreciation, take it!"

When it came to the last one, Fang Nanzhi took out the last gift: "Xijin, I know..."

Zheng Xijin laughed and interrupted: "You know me, so you specially prepared a gift for me. It's a small token of your appreciation, right?"

Next to her, Zheng Dalang, the first person to be deceived, teased her: "Didn't you say you prepared this specially?"

Fang Nanzhi scratched his head and smiled shyly: "It's intentional. Sir, it's a big gift prepared specially for you. Senior brother, it's a small gift prepared specially for you. And you all, it's a small gift prepared specially for you."

Several people: ...You know what, that’s quite reasonable.

Master Zheng found this amusing and said, "Alright, stop messing around. It's time for the exam."

Several children lined up in front of Mr. Zheng according to their seniority.

Fang Nanzhi is young, but has the highest seniority, so he is ranked first.

"If you continue to improve yourself, you will continue to improve yourself day by day. From that book, recite this entire chapter."

After he finished speaking, not only Fang Nanzhi who was being tested, but the rest of the children also started thinking about it.

Before they could figure out what was going on, Fang Nanzhi had already started answering.

"From the Great Learning, the Kanggao says, 'To be clear and bright... one must use all means to the utmost.'"

I memorized the entire article smoothly.

"This sentence, inscribed by King Tang of Shang on the bathtub, means: 'If you can improve yourself for a single day, you should persist in improving yourself every day, constantly improving yourself.' The Kanggao also encourages people to discard the old and embrace the new." The Book of Songs says that although the Zhou Dynasty was an ancient nation, it received a mandate from heaven to reform itself. Therefore, people of noble character strive for perfection in every aspect."

Master Zheng continued without looking up, "Recite the entire Great Learning and translate it."

The brothers thought, this is not easy, can she memorize it?

Fang Nanzhi didn't think too much about it and just started to recite it.

"The Way of the University...is the Shortest Way."

It took Fang Nanzhi half an incense stick of time to recite it, with only occasional pauses in the middle, but he would soon be able to remember it again.

The brothers nearby were surprised, and the other party, Nanzhi, thought even more highly of him, as he actually memorized it all.

Next comes the full text translation.

The three brothers looked at Fang Nanzhi secretly. Could she really translate the entire article?

Facts have proved that Fang Nanzhi can.

Although some parts are different from the explanations marked in the book, she said it in plain words, but the meaning is almost the same and they are all correct.

After this incident, the three of them no longer dared to underestimate Fang Nanzhi.

Master Zheng, however, did not offer any compliments, and immediately continued the test: "Recite the entire Analects and translate it."

This time, Fang Nanzhi was not so smooth. He only memorized two-thirds of the Analects, and the same was true for the translation.

She looked at Master Zheng nervously, but Master Zheng's stern face showed a gentle smile: "You can recite this well, it's good."

The content of the exams was similar for several people. They would first pick out a few sentences and then ask them to recite the next poem or translation. After this round, they would recite the entire article.

After the last half hour, Master Zheng came to a conclusion.

Fang Nanzhi's memorization was better than his two younger grandsons, but not as good as his eldest grandson. His eldest grandson memorized and translated the entire "Great Learning" and "The Analects of Confucius" smoothly. Even so, Zheng Dalang was stunned and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Fang Nanzhi has only been studying for a short time, while I have been studying for many years. I usually think of myself as smart, but now, I am only a little better than this little girl.

He made up his mind to work harder, and then quietly retreated. Behind him, his other two younger brothers also lowered their heads and followed their eldest brother's pace.

I am about the same age as Fang Nanzhi, but I am not as good as a little girl!

This realization makes them feel very stressed.

Mr. Zheng saw it all and said to Fang Nanzhi with a pleasant face, "Okay, that's all for today's exam. Go and rest."

Fang Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the table nearby. Zheng Wanru quickly poured her a glass of warm water.

Fang Nanzhi didn't bother to be polite with her and drank the water in one gulp with a very heroic movement.

Beside her, Zheng Wanru looked at her with sparkling eyes full of admiration.

She had always thought that her brothers were smart, but who would have thought that her best friend could surpass both of her brothers in one go!

Her friend is amazing! Her two brothers are so smart! And the way she was reciting the lesson just now was so charming.

Fang Nanzhi didn't know that her friend was about to become her little fan girl. After drinking the water, she thanked Zheng Wanru, took out today's homework from her backpack, and handed it to Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng felt that the course load was a bit too little.

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Fang Nanzhi quickly explained, "Sir, I've been learning a lot lately. I study for a day, and the next day I have to go to Jishitang to take people's pulses. I also spend the rest of the day learning medical skills from my master, and every night I have to memorize medical books. It's really hard work."

Mr. Zheng nodded after hearing this.

“It’s really busy…”

Seeing this, Fang Nanzhi secretly looked up at Mr. Zheng, feeling a little lucky. Could it be that Mr. Zheng felt sorry for her and wanted to reduce her schoolwork or something?

"However, you only went to Jishitang for half a day in two days. The time is too short. This is not good. So, I will also give you half a day to go to Jishitang."

Fang Nanzhi was so happy that she almost jumped up. At least she could talk to people at Jishidiang, which was more fun than studying!

"But..." Master Zheng looked at her like that, a smile in his eyes, and then changed the subject: "Then you can come to class every afternoon from now on, and make up for it by leaving school two hours later."

Fang Nanzhi:?

Wouldn't she be even busier then?

"No, sir!" Fang Nanzhi wanted to cry but couldn't. "I'm really too busy as a student. Besides, if I go home too late, my parents will worry about me!"

"Really?" Master Zheng said deliberately, "Then when your parents come to pick you up tonight, I'll ask them if they're willing."

Fang Nanzhi was anxious. Not to mention studying for two more hours, her parents would have loved for her to stay here and study. If they knew, they would definitely not be happy.

"It's not that my parents don't want to, it's that the master said that children my age need to go to bed early. If they stay up late, they won't grow tall. If they don't grow tall, they will become dwarfs and be bullied!"

"Oh? Let's see who dares to bully my apprentice?" Master Zheng did not cooperate at all.

Fang Nanzhi was so anxious that she almost jumped up: "If I don't get enough sleep, I'll become stupid the next day. Sir, we really can't arrange it like this!"

"That's true." Master Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Then it will only take an extra hour and a half."

"Sir! Alas! An hour and a half is too late..."

Fang Nanzhi argued and tried to reduce the time, but Master Zheng refused to give in and even said that if she continued to ask for more, he would have to give her two more hours of lessons.

Fang Nanzhi ended up discouraged and failed.

Next to her, Zheng Wanru was giggling as she watched the fun. It was the first time she saw her sharp-tongued friend being humiliated.

Mr. Zheng turned to look at her.

Zheng Wanru's smile froze: "My teeth are a little hot, let them cool down..."

"Well, then you can study with Fang Nanzhi from now on. It's cool at night, and it's just convenient to dry your teeth after reading."

Now, it was Zheng Wanru's turn to cry: "Grandpa, you can't arrange it like this!"

Fang Nanzhi looked at Zheng Wanru's expression and the corners of her lips unconsciously rose.

I don't know why, but she seems to be in a much better mood.

The two little girls here depend on each other for survival, but there is some unrest in the provincial school.

Fang Yin was sitting on the big rock at the door of the classroom, playing with the Nine Rings game with a clanging sound in his hands, and he looked a little anxious.

This nine-ring chain was given to him by his nephew to entertain him, but he had been trying to solve it for a long time and just couldn't. However, when he saw his nephew solving it, he could clearly solve it in just a few seconds!

Fang Yin was about to cry with anger. Just as he was about to forcibly pull the Nine-Linked Rings apart, a teenager came over with a sneaky look on his face: "Hey, don't pull it! This thing can't be opened by force!"

"You can't rely on brute force for this, you need brainpower! Let me help you solve it!"

Fang Yin turned his head to look at him, then shook his head and continued to play.

The young man's eyes flashed with impatience for a moment, but he quickly hid it and revealed a bright smile: "After all, we know each other, so I'll treat you to a meal, right?"

Fang Yin finally looked up at him, then asked skeptically, "You have money?"

The young man was stunned, and then couldn't believe it: "Young master, do I look like I have no money?"

As he spoke, he took out a bulging embroidered purse and weighed it up and down, making a clanging sound of silver coins.

This bag is full of small change?

The young man smiled proudly: "So, do I have money?"

Fang Yin was interested this time, his eyes lit up, but his nephew told him that apart from family members, no one would be nice to you for no reason, there must be a purpose behind it, so he had to ask him before making a decision.

He is obedient!

However, my nephew is busy now, so he can still make a decision on a small matter, right?

So Fang Yin asked cautiously, "So, you invited me to dinner just to borrow the Nine Links?"

The young man sneered in his heart, what a fool, of course not!

But he nodded!

Now, Fang Yin felt relieved. His brother said again, there is no free lunch in the world, but if the other party has a purpose, then it is not free!

It just so happened that he could save some of the money given to him by his third brother as his own pocket money. Fang Yin was calculating in his mind and was very happy. His brother and niece both had their own pocket money, so he wanted some too!

He was very happy. His brother and niece both had their own private money, and he wanted some too!

"I want to eat roast suckling pig!"

The young man's mouth twitched, and he looked down on the big fool in front of him. He was indeed from a poor family. He was not polite at all when someone invited him to dinner. He ordered things that he could not afford and became more and more demanding.

Fortunately, he didn't lack these hundreds of copper coins, but he didn't want to spend them on this poor man. He would try to get the man to tell him something on the way. If he could get the answer, he would turn around and run away instead of treating him to a meal!

Thinking of this, he said, "Let's go...Hey, why are you running?"

Before he could even start running, Fang Yin had already taken the lead and ran away, turning back and shouting, "Run faster, I'm hungry!"

When the young man arrived at the cafeteria, breathless, Fang Yin had already ordered a roast suckling pig. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly pulled it over to him and said anxiously, "Little brother, pay quickly, or we won't serve it!"

The young man gave the money with a gloomy face, and was still catching his breath when Fang Yin laughed beside him: "You run so slowly, it took me half a day to get here!"

The veins on the boyish forehead were throbbing.

If he hadn't been trying to get the point across, he would have slapped the guy long ago. Does he know how to speak?

The two of them found a seat and began to wait for the roast suckling pig to be served. The young man was about to start chatting: "Little brother..."

At this time, two waiters came up with a long plate of roast suckling pig.

"Your Majesty, please use it with ease!"

The roast suckling pigs here are roasted in advance at noon to avoid being too busy. They came early, so they came directly after paying.

Without saying a word, Fang Yin tore off a piece of pork thigh, blew on it twice, stuffed it into his mouth, and then chewed it with satisfaction.

The pork skin is crispy and fragrant, and the pork is tender and juicy, so delicious!

"Little brother, what's your name? I'm a classmate of Brother Qin Yan's. I see you often and have wanted to make friends with you for a long time."

Fang Yin was chewing his meat and thought this person was a bit tactless. Didn't he see he was eating? And yet he asked.

But after thinking about it, he realized that he was being treated to a roast suckling pig, and it would be impolite to do so. So he took a moment out of his busy schedule to give him a vague answer.

Because there was meat in his mouth, his answer changed his tone: "Huang Yin."

The young man was shocked. Lewd?

Are poor people so casual in naming? Qin Yan didn't care, no matter what, who cares what his name is, he came to inquire about Qin Yan's affairs.

"Then who are you?"

In just a few seconds, Fang Yin had finished eating the pig's leg and started eating the pig's body. His mouth was full of meat and his brows were frowning.

Why are you still asking? Can you let me eat in peace? My nephew's get out of class is almost over, and he has to rush back to pick him up! It's a waste of his time!

Because of dissatisfaction, Fang Yin chewed for a while and ignored him.

The boy could barely contain himself before he finally found the time to reply.

"I'm his second wave."

"I'm Brother Qin's second uncle. I have a good relationship with Brother Qin, but I see him in a wheelchair every day. You are his second uncle, so you must know the reason, right?"
