Chapter 518: Chapter 517 This woman is really arrogant!_1
Su Pan’er chuckled lightly, turning her head towards Qin Yi: "Do you believe what he said?"
"I do."
Qin Yi solemnly answered: "Because, he speaks impeccable official language."
Official language, that is, the language that officials in this era must learn. It’s similar to the common language in later eras, and it’s the common language of officials.
"The local dialects are different everywhere, only the Capital has it right."
After all, officials come from all over the country, speaking various local languages. Naturally, the emperor sitting on top cannot cater to his subjects, hence the official language was introduced, allowing the emperor to communicate smoothly with his subjects.
Su Pan’er was stunned, a boy in his early teens could actually speak the official language?
What did this indicate?
Qin Yi scooped another helping of green vegetables into Su Pan’er’s bowl: "You know that I have been rigorously practicing the official language for some time now. Little Feng speaks it very standardly. You will also need to use it in the future, why not learn it from him with us?"
In fact, what Qin Yi didn’t say was, he believed Little Feng must have been a child who grew up in Shengjing.
Otherwise, when foreigners learn the official language, they would usually still carry a hint of their local dialect, but Little Feng’s official language is so standard that not even a single mistake could be detected. When this situation appears on a child in his early teens, Little Feng’s background becomes highly dubious.
"Learn from him?"
Su Pan’er glanced at Little Feng, and in the end, she did not insist on driving him out, instead, she ate her food in silence.
Seeing this, Little Feng let out a sigh of relief, relaxing his tense facial expression.
After having dinner, Su Pan’er took a good hard look at him.
This boy was quite handsome, and there was something familiar about his eyes, but she couldn’t remember who he resembled.
She wondered what he had gone through before that made him a little beggar?
This was originally just a thought, but somehow she ended up verbalizing it.
Little Fang was clearly taken aback, after some thought, he said: "Because... because... my family suffered a calamity, and I’m the only one left. So, I wanted to go to Shengjing to find my sister. But, I didn’t have any money, so I had to resort to begging to survive..."
"Really?"
At least make up a decent story! Su Pan’er squinted her eyes, but in the end, she didn’t call out his lie.
"In that case, since you’re here, let it be. Whenever you’re free, you can teach me to speak the official language."
"Okay!" Little Feng agreed, his face filled with joy.
With one teaching and one learning, slowly, Su Pan’er discovered that the so-called official language of this era was similar to the dialect of Luoyang.
Later, Su Pan’er discovered that Little Feng could even read!
Despite his efforts to hide this secret from Su Pan’er, she still detected it. Heh, who would have thought, even the street urchins know how to read nowadays!
However, she didn’t expose him, instead, she wholeheartedly started learning the official language.
In her previous life, she was someone who’s been to all parts of the world, hence she didn’t find learning a new language challenging.
Unknowingly, an afternoon had passed.
In the evening, having eaten her fill, Su Pan’er went to the deck to aid digestion, following her habit.
Although the blood on the deck had been cleaned, there was still a faint smell of blood in the air. Su Pan’er felt unusually uncomfortable. She only stayed for a little while before she lost interest in watching the sea, and turned around intending to return to her room.
To her surprise, an unexpected figure blocked her way.
Mrs. Zhang was standing in front of her with a look of curiosity, her scrutinizing gaze was making Su Pan’er impatient. Just as she began to walk around Mrs. Zhang to leave, Mrs. Zhang finally spoke.
"Hey! Thanks for saving my life yesterday."
"I’m not called ’hey’."
Su Pan’er kept walking without turning her head: "Also, I didn’t intentionally save you. It was simply my reflexes being quicker than my mind." Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t have saved her.
Having said that, she walked far away.
Huh!
This woman is truly arrogant!
Su Pan’er’s attitude immediately sparked the woman’s curiosity.
Most people initially didn’t hold her in high regard, but after learning she was Mrs. Zhang, there wasn’t one who didn’t try to flatter her!
This woman, however, was the exception!
She could tell that the other woman was genuine. Her clear, transparent, clean, and pure eyes were too captivating to blink.
Even as a woman herself, she couldn’t help but feel a bit of affinity towards her.
For that reason, being a woman herself, she hated not being able to ruin Su Pan’er’s clear, pure eyes, so she wouldn’t have to feel inferior in her presence, unable to lift her head.
"Have you found out who this woman is and where she lives?"
A servant woman behind Mrs. Zhang came forward hurriedly: "The people we sent have replied. This couple seems to be from the mountains near Deicide Mountain, who travelled to Yongzhou City with a business team, and then took the ship to the north. Due to lack of time, nothing else was found out."
"Hmm, continue to look into it for me."
How could such a person just be an average mountain dweller!
Mrs. Zhang certainly did not believe it. She kept her gaze fixed in the direction where Su Pan’er disappeared, her face filled with contemplation.
When Su Pan’er returned to the cabin, she found that as soon as Little Feng heard the door creak, he darted back into the inner room, which made her frown.
"Come out! Without my permission, you’re not allowed to enter the inner room at will, or else I’ll break your dog legs!"
There is a saying here that boys and girls should not be seated together after they turn seven. Since this person is a literate person, she absolutely did not believe that he was unaware of this custom.
"I... I understand."
Little Feng came out of the inner room with his head bowed in disappointment, obediently retreated to the small bed in the outer room. This temporarily added bed was small, but very suitable for him.
When Su Pan’er entered the room and didn’t see Qin Yi, she was slightly taken aback, that’s when Little Feng spoke.
"The big brother was called away by an old man, who said he wanted to thank him for saving their lives."
Oh, so that’s how it is!
"Saving someone’s life, at least they know to express their gratitude."
Su Pan’er leisurely picked up a half-finished drawing by Qin Yi and began to admire it: "It’s a pity that when I save certain people, they act like ingrates. Instead of being thankful, they lie and shamelessly stay here. What should I do with such a person?"
Little Feng clenched his lower lip stubbornly and said nothing.
Su Pan’er didn’t care, she stared at the drawing in her hand, unwilling to put it down.
The drawing depicted the attack from the other day. There were a lot of people in the picture and the scene seemed chaotic. She was also in the crowd, but had been given a large white space all around her, it seemed as if she stood out from the crowd, it was impressive.
She admired the scene for a long time, then slowly rolled up the drawing, fearing that she might accidentally ruin the half-finished piece.
Turning around, she noticed that Little Feng still had a stubborn look on his face. He remained silent and kept watching her, this instantly made her feel a little frustrated.
