Chapter 259 Homework
The gossip team hasn't gathered together for a long time. Everyone missed each other very much after not seeing each other for many days.
However, there are also several people who have become less lively than before, and are not even keen on gossip anymore.
Of course, this does not include Liu Zhenying, she also pulled Xiao Yining aside to ask questions.
Yanjing is very lively, and little Yining has seen half of it.
"I heard that on the day that the beloved but unrequited Lord Leng was buried, there was a strong wind and several funeral processions collided with each other. If the coffins were not different, they might have carried the wrong one. Sister Yining, I heard that your family is related to Lord Leng's family. Was that the case that day?" Liu Zhenying asked curiously.
Little Yining shook her head, unable to help with this issue. "Sister Liu, my father didn't let me go out, saying that I was young and would bump into me, and he didn't tell me these things when he came back."
Liu Zhenying was extremely disappointed and felt like she had lost hundreds of taels of silver.
At this moment, Shi Wanwan's concerned voice rang out from the side. She asked Lu Jiayi, "Sister Lu, why are you so sad? Is your father's injury still not healed?"
Xiao Yining and Liu Zhenying stopped talking immediately and looked at Lu Jiayi. She shook her head slowly and said with a depressed look, "I don't know why my father's hair turned white overnight. The doctor said he was overthinking."
Xiao Yining: No wonder dad and uncle both said we should conquer her heart.
Liu Zhenying: My dad is really awesome.
Lu Jiayi looked up at Xiao Yining and the others, and smiled, "I heard that after Xiao Yining left that day, she came to see me with Sister Liu in the afternoon. It's a pity that Ruyi and I went out to buy things and didn't run into them."
The two of them smiled guiltily at the same time.
Liu Zhenying waved her hands and lied, "We left after a short while. Did you receive the tea set I gave you, Sister Lu? I gave it to Lord Lu."
Lu Jiayi nodded, her smile growing. "I really like the tea set that Sister Liu gave me. My father even apologized to me for it, saying that he forgot to give it to me as a replacement."
These words made the two people who knew about it feel uncomfortable.
But sometimes, keeping a secret is also a kind gesture.
Xiao Yining looked at Lu Jiayi's clueless face, sighed inwardly, and took out a stack of large characters from her homework bag and put them on the table. She had been to the girls' school for a few days, so she had a few large characters.
This action left her classmates dumbfounded.
Yu Ke, who was closest to her, asked in a trembling voice, "Sister Yining, did the teacher give you any homework?"
"No! But my father said that I was punished too much, so he asked me to write big characters at home, in case the teacher asks me what I did when I return to the girls' school and I can't answer." Little Yining answered truthfully.
Everyone: Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Zhenying hurried forward and took away the "horrible" characters written by little Yining. "Sister Yining is so diligent, we just need to know that. The girls' school was in a hurry to go on holiday this time, and the teacher didn't leave any homework for us, and I don't think he will ask us. I'll leave these characters here for now."
"We will return it to you after we meet the Master." Others also said.
As long as I can return it to her.
Little Yining nodded nonchalantly, these big characters were specially prepared by her father and uncle, there were more than one hundred of them in total, to prevent her from being punished with big characters again. Each one could reduce her sentence, so she couldn't throw them away.
At this time, Mr. Wu, who taught Class B, finally arrived, and the children hurriedly sat down in their seats.
Master Wu glanced around calmly, took out his ruler and said, "As the saying goes, one day of study makes one day of progress. This girls' school has been closed for many days. I wonder if the girls have been slacking off."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent, leaving only a few nervous and hurried breathing sounds.
Master Wu used the ruler to knock on each person's desk in turn, and finally stopped beside Liu Zhenying. She glanced at the rice paper sticking out from under the table and asked, "I wonder what Miss Liu did when she was at home?"
"Master, I'm reading." Liu Zhenying was so scared that she stood up immediately and replied, and the rice paper that she had not hidden in the first place fell to the ground.
"Oh? Then Miss Liu, can you tell us what books you have read?" Mr. Wu bent down to pick up a piece of paper. He took a look and saw the crooked words "Lin Yining" written in the corner of the rice paper.
At this moment, Liu Zhenying was so obsessed with it that she thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was.
Mrs. Wu didn't want to listen anymore. She turned to look at Xiao Yining and asked, "Why is Miss Lin's calligraphy here with Miss Liu?"
Everyone looked at Xiao Yining nervously again, only to hear her reply, "Master, this is for me to keep by Sister Liu."
Master Wu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked again, "What did Miss Lin do when she was at home?"
A trace of resentment instantly appeared in little Yining's eyes. He hung his head and his mouth pursed. He replied in a weak voice, "Master, I'm reciting the Great Zhou Calendar. I haven't finished half of it yet."
Mr. Wu: ...
"I am also reading the Great Zhou Calendar, Master." Liu Zhenying's eyes lit up instantly and she quickly replied.
"Well, good kids, sit down."
Mr. Wu walked towards the next one with a wooden face.
Lu Jiayi also said shyly, "Reading the Calendar of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Master Wu came to several female students in a row, and the first thing he heard was the four words "Da Zhou Calendar" without exception.
She immediately asked impatiently, "Besides the Great Zhou Calendar, have the girls read no other books?"
At this time, Cui Zhiyao timidly said, "Master, you haven't asked me yet."
Mrs. Wu looked at her and recognized that she was the most diligent student in Class B. She never put down her book wherever she went. She relaxed her expression and asked gently, "What did Miss Cui do when she was at home?"
Cui Zhiyao stood up with a smile on his face. In front of everyone, he took out a small wooden man covered with meridians in his left hand, picked up a long silver needle in his right hand and inserted it fiercely, then replied, "Master, I am practicing acupuncture."
Everyone:...
Master Wu was speechless for a long time, and it took him a long time to find his voice. "There is no class today, girls, please go back to your rooms!"
After saying that, she left in silence.
Cui Zhiyao was a little dazed, and there was a hint of disappointment in her tired eyes. "Master, why didn't you praise me and just left?"
Unfortunately, no one cared about her grievances. Because Master Wu had no choice but to let her go, the children and sisters felt as if they had been pardoned and they packed up their things and left.
