After crossing, I was forced to hold on to my thighs and build a kingdom

Huizhen's room is decorated very neatly, with a bed, a cabinet, a dressing table, a chair, and light blue cotton curtains on the windows.

When Jinchu was hesitating about where to sit, Huizhen pulled out a chair and pushed Jinchu onto it.

"Jin'er, let me show you the good things I have accumulated over the years." While speaking, Huizhen excitedly opened the drawer of the dressing table and showed Jinchu her dressing box.

Jin Chu smiled as she looked at the dressing box in front of her. It was made of ordinary peach wood. Although it had no gorgeous carvings, it had been polished smooth and warm by time.

The items in the box are simple yet full of the breath of life.

Several hairpins were placed diagonally in the corner. There were polished, simple and smooth wooden hairpins, lustrous and white pearl hairpins, two plain silver hairpins, a small bronze mirror with slightly mottled edges, several necklaces, bracelets and a few pairs of earrings lying quietly in the corner.

Jinchu immediately noticed the pair of blue jade earrings that resembled fish playing in the water, and Huizhen's eyes also fell on them. Thinking of the ups and downs of the farce caused by these earrings, the two girls looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Glancing at the pearl earrings on Huizhen's ears, Jinchu suddenly remembered the earrings that resembled fish playing in the water. He had never seen Huizhen wearing them before, so he became curious and asked, "Huizhen, do you dislike these earrings?"

"How is that possible? This is my favorite pair of earrings now!" Huizhen replied subconsciously. She reached out and picked up an earring, holding it in front of her and looking at it carefully, with a happy light in her eyes.

It doesn't look like he doesn't like it!

"If you like these earrings so much, why have I never seen you wear them?"

Huizhen explained shyly, "Because these earrings were hard to come by, I can't bear to wear them casually. I want to keep them for my coming-of-age ceremony next year."

"I see! Then when you come of age next year, I will definitely come to watch the ceremony."

Jinchu smiled and leaned on Huizhen's shoulder, teasing: "Don't worry, I won't watch your coming-of-age ceremony for nothing. You can also think about what kind of hairpins and rings you like first, so that I can buy them for you as a gift."

Huizhen had already gotten used to Jinchu's teasing, so she smiled bluntly and said, "Jin'er, I've taken note of what you said. I'll have to carefully choose a piece of jewelry and make a killing from you."

"Okay, go ahead and kill me. After all, this is the only coming-of-age ceremony I'll ever have. I can handle it." Jin Chu wasn't afraid at all. He waved his long sleeves and agreed readily.

Huizhen seems to be outspoken, but she is actually a kind and honest girl. She said that she was going to rip Jinchu off harshly, but she was just talking.

The two chatted about girls' gossip for a while, and then they heard Huizhen's mother, Aunt Zhao, call Huizhen: "Zhen'er, come here."

Huizhen let out an "Oh" and said to Jinchu, "You can do whatever you want, I'll be back soon," then got up and went to the kitchen.

After a while, she came back and said to Jinchu, "My mother stewed the piece of meat you brought. You can't go back at noon!"

Jin Chu disagreed in her heart but did not say anything. After all, there was no movement in the main room, and Wang Weiyuan was teaching Zhao'er his lessons. Even if she said she didn't want to stay here, she couldn't leave immediately. She simply smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

When she smiled like that, Huizhen thought she was going to stay, so she went to tell her mother happily. Then her mother added a few more dishes, making the meal as sumptuous as if it was New Year's Day.

Jinchu suddenly felt embarrassed. It was too late to leave now. Just as she was hesitating, she heard Zhao'er shout, "Sister, Brother Wang has finished guiding Brother Weiyue and me on our studies!"

Jin Chu turned her head and was about to speak, but she saw Wang Weiyuan following behind Zhao'er. She then smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the kitchen, and she swallowed the words she was about to say.

Wouldn't it seem too distant and rude to talk about going home now?

"Zhao'er, come here quickly, my mother has stewed meat for us!" Wei Yue, who was a little further away, waved at Zhao'er.

"Sister?" Although Zhao'er didn't move, her eyes were full of expectations.

It’s just that Aunt Zhao stewed the meat so deliciously that the kids were almost drooling.

Jin Chu sighed helplessly and told Zhao Er, "Go ahead! Don't eat too much, or you'll get indigestion."

Zhao'er nodded and ran towards Wei Yue happily.

Jin Chu turned around and gave Wang Weiyuan a self-deprecating smile: "Looks like I'm going to take advantage of Brother Wang's family again today!"

"Sister Jin'er, you're too polite!" Wang Weiyuan smiled faintly. "My family's meals were never this sumptuous in the past. It's thanks to you two that we can enjoy this delicious meal today."

"In that case, for the sake of Big Brother Wang's enjoyment, I might as well bring Zhao'er here to eat for free every day, right?"

Jin Chu knew that this was an excuse Wang Weiyuan made up to avoid feeling uncomfortable, so he cooperated and took over the conversation.

"welcome any time!"

Thinking of Zhao'er's ability to memorize everything he saw today, Wang Weiyuan's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

He thought for a moment and added, "Zhao'er's intelligence has exceeded my expectations. I originally wanted you to bring him here every three days, but now it seems that it's better to bring him every other day!"

After hearing this, Jin Chu smiled relaxedly.

She knew that Zhao'er had a good memory, but that was just her idea. After all, she had never come into contact with other children, and without comparison, she didn't know whether her own child was good or excellent.

Now that Wang Weiyuan had given such a satisfactory affirmative answer, Jin Chu's uneasy heart was finally put at ease.

She nodded and smiled, "Okay, then we'll come every other day."

Thinking that Wang Weiyuan also needed to study, Jin Chu hesitated and said, "Will this affect your own academic progress too much?"

Wang Weiyuan shook his head slightly and said lightly: "It's okay!"

He spoke with confidence as he spoke aloud, "I've already passed the stage of diligent study for my own studies. Currently, I'm focusing more on developing my policy papers. Tutoring Yuedi and Zhao'er with their studies will allow me to relax a bit. Zhao'er is also a very intelligent child. He can grasp everything with just a little guidance, making teaching him much more effective. As a teacher, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. Therefore, students like him are deeply favored by me."

"Okay, now I don't have to worry about anything anymore!" Jin Chu felt relieved and asked with a smile, "But I also took him to study haphazardly for a while a few days ago. I wonder if Zhao'er will continue with his current studies or start over from scratch?"

"I asked Zhao'er, and you've taught him well. Just continue with your studies as you did before. I'll make adjustments based on his individual situation. If he still has room for improvement, you might as well continue according to the plan you gave him. With both of us working together, Zhao'er will surely achieve even greater success."

Jin Chu laughed and said, "I originally thought that with Brother Wang's example, I, a piece of rubble, could just back off, but I never expected to be parading before Guan Gong – continuing to show off my skills before an expert!"

The girl's face was fair and rosy, with the corners of her lips slightly raised. Her big watery eyes looked at him with a smile, making her look both playful and bright.

This girl was somewhat similar to Huizhen, but she had a certain smoothness and clarity that Huizhen lacked. Wang Weiyuan couldn't help but feel moved. He was about to think deeply when he heard Wei Yue's voice: "Sister Jin'er, big brother, it's time for dinner!"
