“Have you thought it through? You want to study with me properly?”
“Of course, sir, please teach me!”
“What do you want to learn?”
“Learn something valuable, preferably something that can earn me money back. I want to learn that.”
“Why don’t you learn how to fly?”
“Fly? Flying is great! It’s guaranteed to make money back! Sir, please teach me that?!”
Another barrage of rapid-fire dialogue!
It was fortunate that there were no outsiders in the backyard, otherwise, they might have been frightened by the frequent use of such fierce words between teacher and student.
As for the little fat boy who was obsessed with money!
Chu Yuan couldn't be bothered with him.
He simply closed his eyes and continued to rest his mind!
Looking at Chu Yuan's expression, even if he was a fool, Ye Si Zhe knew he had messed up.
He even dared to say things like learning to fly!
But he had no choice. This was a tutor who charged fifty taels of silver a day. If he really let him sleep here.
Not only could he not sleep now, but even at night...
He wouldn't be able to sleep either!
It was fifty taels a day! He wondered how his mother could sleep at all?!
Thinking about it!
Ye Si Zhe acted quickly, hugging Chu Yuan's leg, his round eyes brimming with tears:
“Sir, I was wrong!”
“Let's start class quickly, this is all money!”
Like that!
The two of them were in the backyard, pulling each other back and forth.
One was not in a hurry, slowly grinding the student's character, while the other was heartbroken, wishing he could learn all the teacher's knowledge.
In the end!
The servants of the mansion came over and were completely astonished by the scene.
They would have never thought -
Their young master actually had such a thirst for knowledge and a humble nature.
Of course!
No matter what outsiders thought, the fact was that Chu Yuan's first lesson for the little fat boy, Ye Si Zhe, had a great effect!
【Lecture Completed】
【Evaluation: A+】
【Reward: One Hundred Taels of Silver, Wan Ye Fei Hua Liu】
Seeing the lecture reward, Chu Yuan nodded silently. This was martial arts from the world of Qin Shi Huang.
A martial art that was extremely consuming of true energy but very practical.
Yin Yang Two Lives, Wan Ye Fei Hua!
Once this martial art is used, it can use true energy to transform into leaves for attack.
It can also control trees and leaves.
It can also revive plants and release them. When used, countless leaves fly out, each blade sharp and menacing. It can cut through gold and break jade, creating autumn orchids out of thin air. It has quite an impressive style!
...
...
Soon, the news reached the second wife, Liu Shi!
“Are you sure about this?”
“The servants all said so. They said they saw it with their own eyes, young master Si Zhe begged Master Chu to give him lessons.”
Next to Liu Shi!
An elderly woman smiled and said, “It seems that Master Chu is truly talented.”
He didn't quite understand, but it was good news after all.
Liu Shi's elegant face also revealed a smile that was hard to conceal: “Good, this stinky brat finally has someone who can control him!”
“It seems this tutor was worth hiring!”
Then!
For several days in a row, the servants and maids in the Duke's mansion suddenly discovered...
Their young master seemed to have opened up?
Since the tutor entered the mansion to teach, for several days in a row, their young master had almost stopped being arrogant and domineering.
He even!
Didn't even have time to bully them anymore.
Every day!
He would almost go to the tutor's place to greet him as soon as dawn broke.
Or, to be more precise!
It should be to beg for knowledge.
In the eyes of the servants, this was an incredible transformation.
However!
How could they know that the root cause of all this.
Was simply a sentence from Chu Yuan!
Well.
To be precise, it should be because of Chu Yuan's fifty taels.
Like that!
Chu Yuan added teaching Ye Si Zhe to his schedule.
And his life, which should have been a leisurely one, being unfamiliar with the capital and having nothing to do.
Slowly became -
The same situation as when he was in Nan Hai County.
Lessons continued, rewards were still received, and the Chun Wei was still waiting!
In the daytime, he gave lessons to the little fat boy, Ye Si Zhe and Ye Ruoruo. In the afternoon, he supervised the renovation of the bookstore. His schedule seemed to be full as always!
But soon.
On the fourth day after Chu Yuan arrived in the capital, the Chun Wei finally arrived as scheduled.
...
...
On this side!
Chu Yuan left the Duke's mansion without disturbing anyone.
As a result!
Ye Si Zhe, who was busy trying to get his money back by studying, couldn't help but find Chu Yuan's residence empty.
Then!
When he learned from the servants that Chu Yuan had left to participate in the Chun Wei!
He rolled his eyes directly.
Then, when he learned that the Chun Wei would last for three days.
He couldn’t handle it anymore.
He couldn't help but break down: “What kind of a broken Chun Wei is this? Why does it have to be held now? It's delaying my money-making plans!”
“Three days? How am I going to spend these three days!”
“Sir!”
“How will I live these three days without you!”
On the side!
The servants and maids in the mansion couldn't help but sigh:
The teacher-student relationship between the young master and Master Chu is truly a tear-jerking, heart-wrenching one!
There’s no doubt!
After Chu Yuan left, today's Ye Si Zhe was almost as depressed and longing for his teacher as Ye Xiao, who was far away in Nan Hai County.
One was genuine, the other was for money!
The teacher wasn’t here!
It meant there were no lessons, so he could have a holiday.
Three days!
He just wondered if his exorbitant tuition fee, which motivated him, could be refunded for these three days!
At noon, when it was time to eat.
Ye Si Zhe went directly to his mother to complain, saying that since Master Chu had gone to take the exam, these three days of one hundred and fifty taels of silver shouldn't be paid.
Immediately.
Liu Shi was stunned by her son's three days of one hundred and fifty taels.
What the hell? Only one hundred and fifty taels?
“Uh? Are you talking about Master Chu's salary? How is that possible? His salary is fifty taels a month.”
Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.
“Fifty taels?”
Ye Si Zhe looked at Liu Shi with suspicion.
“Of course it's fifty taels. Where did you hear about fifty taels a day?” Liu Shi said, speechless.
Looking at his mother's face!
Ye Si Zhe immediately knew that he, a simpleton, had been fooled by his teacher again.
“Ah! Damn it!”
With no choice!
Ye Si Zhe could only roar in his heart, then turned his grief into appetite, eating large meals, vowing that when Master Chu returned, he would make him pay...
Sure enough, these scholars are all dark these days!
They even deceive children.
