The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

After saying that, Li Baoqin quickly packed up her books and prepared to leave.

"Nonsense!"

Master Jiang was furious and slammed the ruler on the table three or four times.

"What the teacher taught is too childish. I've been memorizing these Tang and Song poems since elementary school, so there's really no need to waste any more time on them."

Li Baoqin smiled.

"and many more!"

Master Jiang stopped Li Baoqin.

"Since you say it's child's play, then I'll test you!"

Li Baoqin confidently put down her book and gestured for him to enter: "Please, teacher."

"Black hair doesn't know the importance of studying hard in youth." Master Jiang put down his textbook.

"One only regrets not studying when one's hair turns white." Li Baoqin replied easily.

"Diligence leads to mastery, while idleness leads to ruin."

"Success comes from careful planning, failure from following blindly." Li Baoqin said this offhand.

"A peaceful home does not require a grand hall."

"There's a wealth of knowledge in books." Li Baoqin rolled her eyes.

Master Jiang was so angry that his face turned red: "Therefore, one cannot know the height of the sky without climbing the mountain!"

"Without standing by a deep ravine, one cannot know the depth of the earth. Without hearing the words of the ancient kings, one cannot know the vastness of learning."

Li Baoqin chuckled.

"Master, please don't teach me anymore, I really can't learn this."

"well!"

Master Jiang gripped the corner of the table and angrily pointed at Li Baoqin.

"Young Miss is extremely learned, while I am of limited knowledge and skills. I truly cannot teach you! There is no need for you to inform the Old Madam; I will resign myself!"

"Please do as you please, Master."

Li Baoqin smiled, picked up her books, and left excitedly.

Master Jiang slumped into a chair, holding his forehead and panting.

After thinking about it, Li Anqi felt that Master Jiang hadn't actually done anything wrong.

Moreover, if one wants to survive in this era, one must accept the knowledge and etiquette of this era, and Master Jiang actually taught very well.

Li Anqi stood up and comforted Master Jiang.

"Please, Master, do not request to resign."

“In the past few months, Anqi has broadened his horizons and gained a lot of knowledge under the guidance of the Master.”

"Our teacher was a learned scholar who taught us everything he knew. If we had been taught by another teacher, my siblings and I would probably only have known the basics and would have remained ignorant for the rest of our lives."

Upon hearing this, Master Jiang's eyes welled up with tears.

"The second young lady is sensible and has great potential. I, as her teacher, am also reluctant to let her go..."

“Master, please stay,” Li Anqi said.

Li Anshu echoed Li Anqi, saying, "Yes, yes, once the teacher leaves, we'll have to replace him, and who knows how many times stricter he'll be."

After calming down for a while, Master Jiang nodded and said.

"Alright, if I can't teach the young lady, then let her be. At worst, I'll ask the old lady to find someone more skilled to tutor the young lady privately."

Master Jiang looked at Li Anqi and said earnestly, "You guys are very smart, and you will surely stand out from the crowd in the future."

“We will certainly study diligently and think deeply, so as not to disappoint our teacher,” Li Anqi said.

Li Anshu, Li Anhua, and Li Ancai all nodded in agreement.

Three days later, Li Anqi learned from Zhilan that

The old lady heard about Li Baoqin's offense against Master Jiang.

Aunt Huang Ruo slapped Li Baoqin's palm ten times and then punished her by making her kneel in the Confucius Temple for three days.

In the end, Madam Zhao invited the same Master Qi from before to tutor Li Baoqin privately.

But Li Baoqin was not honest. During the three days she was punished to kneel, she would hide under the offering table and fall asleep whenever she saw that no one was around.

When the old lady found out, she was furious again.

Time flies, and several months have passed.

Aside from paying respects to the elders in the household every morning and afternoon, Li Anqi spent the rest of his time studying at the family school.

After school, Li Anshu often invited Li Anqi, Li Anhua, and Li Ancai to play together in various parts of the mansion.

Perhaps because Li Anshu was the original owner's younger sister whom she had grown up with, Li Anqi had a natural fondness for her and a desire to protect her.

Li Anqi doesn't mind playing with her brothers and sisters at all; on the contrary, she cherishes every moment with them.

The day before the winter solstice, Master Jiang gave Li Anqi a "Nine-Nine Cold-Dispelling Chart".

It is said that every day, one should fill in one stroke of the plum blossom petal on the picture with a red brush, and it will take eighty-one days to complete the task.

Spring has arrived.

After school that day, Li Anqi was secretly taken to the warm cellar in the mansion by Li Anshu.

Accompanying Li Anshu were Li Anhua and Li Ancai.

Inside the warm cellar of the mansion, there are cultivated fresh cucumbers and many different kinds of flowers and plants.

Li Anqi looked at it with curiosity.

"Second Miss, Third Miss, Fourth Miss, Second Young Master."

The gardener on duty at the heated cellar bowed to the group, seemingly unsurprised by their arrival.

"How is Butterfly?" Li Anshu asked in a childish voice.

"well."

"I gonna go see."

Li Anshu turned around and beckoned to the group, his face beaming with an innocent and smug smile.

"Come on, I'll show you something good."

Following Li Anshu's footsteps, Li Anqi arrived at a plant stand.

Hundreds of caterpillars were wriggling on the green plants, feasting on their meal.

"vomit……"

Li Anhua turned around and squatted down, covering his mouth with both hands, his expression not looking good.

Li Ancai stared blankly, his eyes full of curiosity.

Li Anqi remained quite calm.

Although my body is only twelve years old, the soul inside me is that of a modern college student.

She neither found the caterpillar disgusting nor was she curious about it.

On the contrary, cucumbers grown out of season are more likely to pique her interest.

Li Anshu caught a caterpillar and waved it in front of Li Ancai.

Although Li Ancai was curious, he was also afraid and quickly hid behind Li Anqi.

"An Cai, do you dare touch it? If you dare touch it, I'll let you play with the nine-linked rings my father gave me for a few days!"

Li Ancai is four years old this year and is only half the height of Li Anqi.

He peeked out from behind Li Anqi, biting the nail of his right thumb and shaking his head.

"Could it be that you're scared?!"

Li Anshu, clutching a caterpillar in his hand, chased after Li Ancai.

"No!"

"Then why are you running!"

"Haha...hahahaha..."

The two of them circled around Li Anqi, having a great time, and didn't notice a protruding stone under their feet.

Just as Li Ancai was about to trip, Li Anqi quickly grabbed his arm.

Li Anshu was not so lucky. She stumbled in the same spot, and the caterpillar in her hand flew out instantly.

Seeing that Li Ancai's expression was not right, as if he was in pain, Li Anqi lifted up his sleeve and saw a large blue bruise on his arm.

"An Cai, your arm..."

Li Ancai hurriedly brushed off his sleeve and said in a childish voice.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I tripped and fell the day before yesterday. It's nothing."

"what!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to the scream depicted in Li An's painting.

Li Anqi looked at Li Anhua, where the caterpillar from before was now wriggling on Li Anhua's shoulder.
