The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Three days passed in a flash.

Early in the morning, Ru Yue rechecked the six pre-prepared apprenticeship rituals and placed two cans of shredded chicken and chili sauce securely before settling down. She attached great importance to this day. With a good teacher, she believed Chu Ning'an would achieve twice the result with half the effort. Although she always said that only if he passed the imperial examination could he safeguard her business empire, she actually hoped Chu Ning'an could forge his own path, rather than exile himself to help her. Only if he passed could he rise to a high position and investigate who was behind his assassination.

Everyone is an independent individual and should walk his or her own path instead of sacrificing himself or herself for someone else. In her previous life, she had seen many secular men and women give up themselves for each other, and then the other party was despised or even abandoned after becoming successful. So she always knew that people must first fulfill themselves before they can fulfill others, and no one is obligated to bear the burden of another person's life.

They set off early. Zhang Erqiang drove a mule cart to deliver a jar of chili sauce to Tianxianglou first and settled the bill before taking them to Xingzhi Bookstore.

It was still half an hour before Ji Shang arrived, but many guests had already arrived. They were said to be all well-known people in the town. Ru Yue and her friends hardly knew any of them. Occasionally they would run into someone they had heard of but did not recognize.

Chu Ning'an took Anping to stay in the front hall of the academy with Mr. Wu to recognize people and entertain guests. Ru Yue took Ru Xue to the backyard to play with Mrs. Wu and Wu Yueli. When Ru Yue accepted her as a disciple that day, she owed Wu Yueli a gift, and she brought it to her this time.

"Sister Li, I didn't prepare a gift for you that day because I was in a hurry. I'm sending you one today. I hope you don't mind." Ru Yue gave Wu Yueli a white handmade "Hello Kitty" the size of a baby wearing a pink modern dress. This thing is definitely the only one of its kind in the world, and no girl can refuse it.

"Oh my God, Sister Yue, this doll is so cute, I like it so much." Wu Yueli accepted the gift with surprise and was extremely happy. "Sister Yue, wait for me, I want to show it to my mother and friends." Then she ran to show off the big cat in her arms.

After a while, a group of young ladies came with Wu Yueli, chattering and asking Ruyue where she bought this thing, and they all wanted to buy one to put in their boudoir.

Ru Yue didn't want to make this her livelihood, but was afraid of offending others if she refused hastily, so she said that she asked someone to bring it back, but she wasn't sure where she bought it. The hot girl was disappointed, and Ru Yue was scared to death, thinking that she had nothing better to do than to cause herself such trouble.

"Ruyue, this gift is really thoughtful." Mrs. Wu came over and patted her arm with a meaningful smile. Ruyue knew that Mrs. Wu had already seen through her excuse, and smiled awkwardly.

The auspicious time was almost here, and everyone went to the front hall to watch the ceremony. Lou Yue finally saw two familiar faces, his two business partners - Mr. Lou Er and Manager Tao. Because men and women were seated separately, Ru Yue couldn't squeeze in to sit with them, so she could only nod slightly to the two of them as a greeting.

The ceremony of paying homage to the teacher officially began. The series of procedures were quite cumbersome, including straightening clothes, washing hands, and kowtow three times... As Ru Yue watched this set of rituals, it reminded her of the entrance ceremony of her previous life. It was definitely lacking the sense of ritual of this era. No wonder it was forgotten by everyone after it was over. No wonder the father-son relationship between teachers and students that lasted a lifetime was missing.

"Present the six rituals, teach the right way with painstaking efforts, and be self-disciplined and diligent in learning," the master of ceremonies said loudly.

Chu Ning'an was about to present six things, including celery tied with red ropes, lotus seeds, dried meat, etc., to Mr. Wu when he heard a commotion at the door.

"Mr. Wu, I came to you a few days ago to become your disciple. Didn't you say you wouldn't accept disciples? Why did you accept such a poor fellow today? Our Jia family can't afford to pay your tuition." As the voice came, a fat man with a big belly who looked like he was about to give birth came pushing and shoving from the door.
