After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

In this way, Luo Shuiyao was carving there with great concentration, while Ye Yunxing squatted beside her, watching her movements without blinking.

Soon, the shape of the pony was roughly completed and now needed to be polished. Before she could speak, Ye Yunxing handed the sandpaper to her again.

After careful polishing, the surface of the wood carving was as smooth as a mirror. The pony carved from Huanghuali wood shone with golden light in the sun, like a fine work of art. Luo Shuiyao picked up the pony, shook it, and said with a smile:

"Here! Here you go."

Ye Yunxing took the wooden pony almost obsessively, his eyes filled with joy. He stroked it carefully, looked at it again and again, and then reluctantly put it in his arms.

He raised his head slightly, looked at Luo Shuiyao suspiciously, and asked, "The wood carving you gave me last time, was it made by you yourself?" There was a hint of surprise and curiosity in his eyes. He couldn't believe that Luo Shuiyao had such exquisite craftsmanship.

Where on earth did a girl from the boudoir learn the art of carving? Carving is considered a craft, and any craft requires instruction from a master. While the current dynasty is less strict with women than the previous, crafts are generally passed down through the generations. If he doesn't teach his own daughter, how could he teach others? Even he carved on his own, so the pieces he created are hard to describe. He was naturally curious about how a girl could carve so well!

He didn't say it, but Luo Shuiyao could tell from his eyes what he wanted to express. She raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and said playfully, "You saw it."

She was not surprised that Ye Yunxing could guess it, and she had no intention of hiding it from him.

She continued, "When I was young, I met an old beggar. He was grateful to me for giving him a meal, so he taught me the art of carving. Do you want to learn?"

Ye Yunxing was originally envious of her good luck, and when he heard her ask him if he wanted to learn, his eyes immediately lit up and he nodded quickly.

"Yes, I need to learn. Can you teach me?"

Looking at the handsome and sunny boy in front of her, Luo Shuiyao suddenly felt her hands itching. She really wanted to touch his head. What should she do?!

"Isn't it possible?" Ye Yunxing saw that Luo Shuiyao was just looking at him and didn't answer, so he thought she was unwilling and asked her with some disappointment.

"Ah! Oh!" Hearing his lost voice, Luo Shuiyao immediately came back to her senses, "Okay!"

"Really!" Ye Yunxing's disappointed expression suddenly disappeared and he asked her happily.

"Of course it's true, but I have a request. I can only teach you if you do it." Looking at his expression like a big dog, Luo Shuiyao forced herself to suppress her restless hands and replied.

"What do you want? Tell me." No matter if it was gold, silver, jewellery, clothes or jewellery, he was not afraid. It didn't matter if he didn't have it, his mother did!

If the Marquis knew what her son was thinking at this moment, she would definitely jump up and slap him, "You unfilial son, why do you have to target your mother when there are so many people to target? Your mother deserves you." Unfortunately, the Marquis didn't know at this moment.

Luo Shuiyao looked into his eyes and said, "I want you not to tell others that I taught you this."

"Ah! Is this okay?"

Ye Yunxing was thinking about how to please his mother and how to coax her into giving him some jewelry when he heard Luo Shuiyao say this. He was so surprised that his voice even changed a little.

"That's it," Luo Shuiyao answered affirmatively in response to his incredulous look.

"But why? No one will say anything to you." Ye Yunxing scratched his head, really not understanding why.

He couldn't let anyone know because his father didn't allow him to learn, but sister Yao had no parents and no one to take care of her, so why should she hide it?

Luo Shuiyao: Why else could it be? She just wants to lie low, let others think she's just a vase, a vase with nothing to offer except her looks. The heroine is all that matters; she just needs to be a backdrop. She's known since she was a child that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and... playing the pig to eat the tiger is the best way to go.

Of course, this was just her inner thoughts, and there was no need to tell anyone else.

She thought for a moment and made up a reason. "No reason. I'm a woman and will get married in the future. If my future husband's family knew I was a craftsman, they would definitely look down on me."

You have to know that in this dynasty, among the four social classes of "scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants", the status of "artisans" was only slightly higher than that of "merchants". In this case, it is reasonable to say that she wanted to marry into a good family and looked down on ordinary artisans.

Ye Yunxing nodded, not quite understanding.

Luo Shuiyao didn't care whether he understood it or not. He was protected too well by his father and brothers at home and could not understand the difference in level at all. It was normal that he didn't understand.

Luo Shuiyao looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, let's get started. You're leaving tonight, and if you don't study now, you'll be out of time."

Ye Yunxing nodded quickly and took out the wood at hand and handed it to Luo Shuiyao.

In the following time, one was talking and the other was listening, and before they knew it, it was noon.

"Miss, where are you, miss?"

It was not until Dujuan and Chunxing called her that they ended the teaching session with reluctance.

"I'm here," Luo Shuiyao responded loudly to them.

Then she turned around and looked at Ye Yunzhou, "You must remember what I said, don't tell anyone else."

"Okay," Ye Yunxing nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else." Then he looked at Luo Shuiyao again, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Luo Shuiyao pulled his sleeve and walked towards Dujuan and the others. She felt his pause and turned around to see that he seemed to want to say something.

"What else do you want to say?" Luo Shuiyao stopped and asked him.

Ye Yunxing glanced at the little maid who was getting closer and closer to them, moved closer to her, and said in a low voice: "I haven't performed the apprenticeship ceremony for you yet!"

Lu Shuiyao... So you're hesitating like a grown woman just for this? "Pour me a cup of tea during dinner later. That'll be your gift to your disciple. We'll still be brother and sister from now on."

"Isn't this a bit bad?" Ye Yunxing hesitated.

"What's wrong? Let's go quickly, Dujuan and the others are coming."

Luo Shuiyao waved to Du Juan and the other man who were running over. When she heard that he was still struggling with this, she replied to him helplessly.

"Hoohoo, Miss."

Du Juan gasped for breath and shouted at Luo Shuiyao. But Chun Xing, who was following behind her, didn't blush or gasp, as if nothing had happened.

Dujuan ran to her side and took a few deep breaths before she calmed down. She looked at Luo Shuiyao worriedly and said: Miss, why did you run so far alone? Chun Xing and I were almost worried to death because we couldn't find you.

Luo Shuiyao touched her nose and said with some shame: "I'm sorry! I just wanted to take a walk, but I took the wrong road. I will definitely tell you where I'm going next time.

Ye Yunxing stood behind her, staring at her back with a strange look in his eyes. He was surprised that she, as a young lady, actually apologized to a maid. It was really unbelievable.
