After the class, Su Li was called away directly by the elder teacher, which made everyone in the classroom envy her.
They came to a four-sided ventilated teahouse. The approachable elder teacher just let Su Li sit down then he laughed and said, “Little girl, you’re Su Li, aren’t you?”
“Yes, teacher.” Su Li sat in a respectful manner and said gently, “It was my sister who was expelled by you. She was spoiled by my mother since she was a baby. Please don’t mind her.”
“Hahahaha...”
Su Li was so frank that the elder teacher did not want to ask about the book basket any more. Instead, he picked up another topic and asked, “I saw the annotations you made on the Dictionary of Dahan. Every word you wrote was meaningful. And some insights even I cannot understand. So, you must have a good teacher before. Can you tell me who he is?”
“My teacher’s first name is Xianqing, and his last name is Qi. He is the doctor of the Baicao Tan
The Mei Family prepared a good deal of stuff for Mei Ruohan, of which there were several bedclothes. Guo came and helped Su Li after she cleaned up her miss’s room. The three finally cleaned up the yard before dark.“Li, I didn’t expect that you are so deft in housekeeping.” After getting along with each other for one day, Mei Ruohan called Su Li casually and she wiped the sweat on her face and said encouragingly, “It seems that I need to be more independent.” “Ah, Miss!” Guo hurriedly said, “You can’t do such dirty and tiring work. Just let me do it. It is the only thing that I am capable of. I will be thrown out of your home once you learn it!”Guo said so seriously that Su Li and Mei Ruohan laughed. Su Li thought if there were a quick-witted little girl like Guo around her, maybe her life would be more interesting.Guo giggled immediately after hearing the two laughed. All of a sudden, she seemed to recall something and said my
The sudden shout instantly plunged the whole classroom into silence. Many people looked at Su Li who was sitting in the third seat from right of the teacher’s desk.Su Li slowly got up and stood respectfully, then she answered, “I am here.”“You’re Su Li from the Dasu Town?”Madam Yang looked at Su Li up and down. There was a hint of jealousy in her eyes. Then she nodded ostensibly, “You actually have certain attractions. No wonder men in the Dasu Town scrambled for you when you showed yourself in public.”Madam Yang’s words seemed normal, but they were misunderstood right away by other people. They looked at Su Li abhorrently and even Mei Ruohan felt strange.However, she believed in Su Li. Although they got along with each other for only one day, she was deeply impressed by Su Li’s indifferent disposition. How could she be that kind of girl as Madam Yang said?“Su Li…turns out to be wanton and she likes
“Lecturer Cui!”Su Li slightly rose her intonation, and said, “Do not think everyone is as ignorant as you. However, Lecturer Cui is complacent and conservative, so we can understand that she is shallow.”“What are you talking about? You think I am ignorant?!”Madam Yang screamed. She wanted to tear Su Li’s face!“I am the embroiderer artificer of the embroidery workshop in the Muyang Town!”“Even the workshop owner praised me so much that I was expected to inherit her workmanship in this life and become the next workshop owner.”“My level of skipping stitch is only under the workshop owner!”“You are only fifteen years old. The salt I have eaten is more than the food you have. How dare you say that I am ignorant?!”Madam Yang said all this in one breath. Then, the expressions of all the misses in the room slightly changed. It was not easy to work in the embroidery workshop. There
Madam Yang’s second question surprised everyone.It was because the answer was too easy. Mrs Gu was a heroine of the Dahan Country. Therefore, her words and deeds on battlegrounds were recorded and then described in books. As long as people had studied a few years, they all knew the answer.Did Madam Yang deliberately ask this in order to give herself a step?Many people had the idea in their hearts, except Su Li. She clearly understood that Mam. Yang-Cui would not give up so easily!“The war was more than 30 years ago.”Su Li thought of it but said according to Madam Yang’s intention, “General Ling was plotted against by his enemies. The whole war relied on Mrs Gu’s full support. Mrs Gu never failed. She even had time to send a letter home in which she asked whether the Ling Family’s eldest grandson, whose mother had been pregnant for ten months, was born safely. After the war, what this letter said was spread through
“The competition between Su Li and Lecturer Cui has disrupted the school’s environment. Now Su Li and Lecturer Cui are ordered to go home for introspection and wait for the results.”Just going home for introspection?!Mei Ruohan and Guo felt relieved at the same time and said, “It seems that the headmaster is still strong. Otherwise, based on the power of the Yang Family, you would have been driven out!”After Su Li read it, the manservant immediately said, “The headmaster ordered that in order to prevent the Yang Family from troubling you, he had arranged a carriage to escort you home tonight.”Su Li gently nodded and said with a smile, “The headmaster is really nice. I feel so grateful.”The manservant’s cheeks were red and he scratched his head. Miss Su was so beautiful when she smiled... Unfortunately, such a beautiful and talented girl was hated by a villain.That night, Su Li said goodbye to Mei Ruo
Suddenly, a hand firmly grabbed Nanny Li’s clothes from behind. She struggled for a long time but couldn’t move. She turned back and was surprised to see that the miss was pointing to a nearby valley. The miss said, “We can sleep in that valley.”...In the valley, Nanny Li followed Su Li and observed curiously. She did not expect that the valley was barren outside but the inside was actually amazing. How did the miss know this place?Thinking of this, Nanny Li was worried. The bamboo building was as exquisite as the Jinyuan Court. The owner of this place must be impressive. Would they be allowed to live here?At this time, Fang Yuan came out from the bamboo building. When he saw Su Li, his expression was suddenly changed. He walked quickly to Su Li and asked with a low voice, “What happened? Why did you become so dirty?”When Nanny Li saw Fang Yuan, she was confused. Was not he the waiter of the Baiwei Building? What
New transaction?Su Huanli looked wary and said, “What are my choices?”Su Li laughed recklessly and said, “Well I’ve decided to raise the price!”“Raise the price again?” Su Huanli screamed uncontrollably. “When I met him for the first time, he raised the price from 800 taels to 1,000 taels per jin. How much would he raise it this time?” he thought.“1,200 taels?”“2,000 taels per jin.” Su Li spoke easily, but Su Huanli was so frightened that his heart stopped instantly and his face turned pale. He said, “Impossible! I don’t have 100,000 taels. I have respected you. Don’t go too far!”“Respect me?”Leaning forward, Su Li looked sarcastic and mocked, “The head of the Su Family, sometimes you have to think carefully before you speak. I took things of the Su Family and sell them back. If you had the ability, you would have killed me earlier! Do you think I’ll lower the price after
After a whole day, no one came to even ask the price. Su huanli was so worried that he almost pulled out all his hair. It was the twilight of the day and the Qinghe Province was still bustling. But there were less people on the street where Su Huanli’s shops was located. Occasionally one or two people could be seen passing by.The moon climbed up the sky gradually. The entire Qinghe Province was quiet, and people went to sleep while the oil lamps of the shop were still on.“Master, it’s late.”Li Yin arranged the temporary bed and couldn’t help but remind him.Su Huanli, sitting at the door, still didn’t move.Another day passed. When the sun gradually rose on the third day, Su Huanli, with his bloodshot eyes, stared at the pedestrians outside the door like a ghost who was about to choose people to eat.“Butler Li, cut the price! Cut the price to 40,000 or 50,000 taels. I don’t believe that no one wants to
