Chapter 116: Chapter 113 Poor Student’s Awareness

Xuanyuan Que looked up from his book and glanced at her before asking a question that was off the topic, "Does this dress still chafe your skin when you wear it?"

Ruo Xuan lifted her sleeve to reveal a section of her plump little arm, "No, it’s very soft and comfortable."

The clothing was very fairy-like, and the fabric was soft. Ruo Xuan casually rubbed her arms, finally free from the feeling of rough fabric chafing her skin.

Her chubby little arms no longer showed any red spots.

Xuanyuan Que silently shifted his gaze away, intending to talk to her about the propriety of male-female interactions.

Just then, the old lady of Xuanyuan’s household came in with his three siblings, all smiling. Upon seeing Ruo Xuan’s attire, her eyes lit up, "Xuanbao looks so beautiful in these clothes! Just like a little fairy."

Xuanyuan Que was about to remind Ruo Xuan not to say that he was the one who gave it to her.

Ruo Xuan cheerfully said, "Brother Xuanyuan gave it to me."

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

Sometimes, there really is no need to be so painfully honest.

The old lady looked at her grandson in surprise and then laughed.

Her grandson beginning to give presents to the children around him made her happy.

It proved that he was getting better at understanding social norms and etiquette.

The old lady joyfully said, "Beautiful! Our Xuanbao is truly beautiful."

Upon hearing this, the three siblings beside the old lady couldn’t help but take a glance at Ruo Xuan, then their gaze fell on her clothes.

Yan Huan was older and more steady, and even though he was surprised, he merely took a measured look at Ruo Xuan.

Yan Feng curiously asked, "Old lady, who is this little girl? She’s so pretty!"

Yan Jiaojiao’s eyes were filled with blatant admiration, "You’re so amazing, to be able to talk with little cousin and even get him to give you a dress!"

She had been unwilling to come and study with her little cousin today—it was too boring! But her father insisted, demanding her presence!

Her little cousin was like a stone person; he could go a whole day without uttering a single word, just holding books and reading!

Apart from turning pages, he made no other movement. If it weren’t for the occasional page-turning, someone unaware might mistake him for a stone sculpture!

Ruo Xuan smiled when she heard the praise, "My name is Ruo Xuan, and everyone calls me Xuanbao. You can call me Xuanbao too. Brother Xuanyuan is really nice. Why wouldn’t you dare to talk to him? It’s not the first time Xuanyuan has given me something, nor is it the first time he gave me clothes."

Xuanyuan Que: "..."

There really was no need to explain in such detail!

The old lady became even more surprised. She glanced at her grandson, not expecting this at all, and asked with curiosity, "Xiaojiu has given other clothes to Xuanbao before?"

"Don’t say anything that would reveal your past life." Xuanyuan Que’s heart was in his throat, fearing she would speak about the circumstances of that time; he quickly reminded her without a sound.

Ruo Xuan nodded her little head, "Right, didn’t Grandma Xuanyuan and Brother Xuanyuan give me lots of fabric and other things? My mother made me new dresses with that fabric."

The old lady: So Xuanbao was referring to the things given to her before?

Alright!

She had misunderstood her grandson!

But no matter, Xiaojiu had already started to give dresses, and there would be more to come in the future.

The old lady smiled and said, "Master Han has arrived just in time. Come with me to pay respects to the master and to find out when regular classes will start."

"Okay," Ruo Xuan said happily.

The old lady then led the children to see Master Han.

On the way to the courtyard, Yan Jiaojiao warmly latched onto Ruo Xuan’s little arm and whispered, "Did you know? Master Han use to be a teacher to the Emperor, and they say his classes are extremely strict. Poor penmanship could result in a smacked palm, he even caused the Emperor’s hand to swell! My father’s hand was almost broken because of it!"

Ruo Xuan: "...Is it really that terrifying?"

Luckily, her handwriting should be considered quite good!

Yan Jiaojiao nodded her head, "It’s exactly that terrifying!"

Yan Huan also moved closer to Ruo Xuan and said, "What’s even more terrifying is that Master Han has very strict requirements: no lateness, no leaving early, no skipping class, and all homework must be completed. Every day, he assigns students articles to memorize, and if you can’t recite it the next day, you have to copy it a hundred times. My father said he almost had his hand broken from all the copying. Scary, isn’t it?"

Ruo Xuan nodded her little head, "It is indeed terrifying, copying a hundred articles will take a very long time."

She knew it from watching her father copy books.

But she was not afraid, she wouldn’t fail to memorize the articles.

"It sure will take a long time, I could copy until dawn and still not finish," Yan Huan thought to himself, feeling indignant that his own father, who had suffered in the past, was making his son endure the same hardships!

Ruo Xuan said loyally, "Don’t worry! If you can’t finish, I’ll help you!"

Yan Huan’s eyes lit up, what a lovely and kind-hearted little sister she was!

"Xuanbao, from now on, you’re my real sister! If you get punished to copy articles, I will also help you!"

Yan Jiaojiao shook Ruo Xuan’s little arm, "Xuanbao, you must help me too, we’ll help each other out!"

"Of course, no problem!"

Yan Feng couldn’t listen anymore, "The handwriting will be different, and if Master finds out, the punishment will be even heavier!"

Ruo Xuan replied, "No worries, I can ask my third uncle to make a set of character templates based on your handwriting. That way, the printed characters will look exactly the same as if you wrote them yourself; no matter how many times you’re punished to copy, Master won’t be able to tell!"

Yan Huan and Yan Jiaojiao’s eyes shone, "Really?"

Does that mean they no longer needed to memorize the articles?

At that moment, an elderly voice sounded behind them, "Is that so? But I have already found out."

Han You walked out from behind the rockery, looking sternly at the children who were planning how to avoid their copying punishment before class had even started.

Ruo Xuan: "..."

Why hadn’t she noticed someone behind the rockery?

Ruo Xuan looked towards Xuanyuan Que.

Did the Divine Monarch not notice either?

Why didn’t he warn her!

Xuanyuan Que respectfully bowed to Master Han with an indifferent demeanor.

The two siblings from the Yan Family turned pale, they were doomed!

The Elder Madam Xuanyuan, looking at the children, felt amused but maintained a stern face, "Haven’t you greeted Master Han yet?"

The children hurriedly bowed respectfully to Master Han, "Students have met Master Han."

Master Han nodded, "You may dispense with the formalities."

Ruo Xuan straightened herself up and took a curious glance at Master Han.

Master Han, dressed in white clothes, donning a white beard, and wearing a square hat, though beyond the age of sixty, still looked handsome and elegant, surely a beautiful man in his youth.

"All of you, come with me!"

The Elder Madam Xuanyuan smiled, "Go on! Listen to Master’s words attentively."

So, the children followed behind Master Han, coming to a room the Elder Madam Xuanyuan had specially arranged for the classes.

The classroom was large but had only ten desks. The Elder Madam Xuanyuan had chosen a large room, thinking that if other children joined, they could always add more desks.

Master Han: "Take a seat wherever you like."

Xuanyuan Que immediately sat down in the first spot. He looked towards Ruo Xuan.

Ruo Xuan was thinking of sitting next to him.

Yan Jiaojiao promptly pulled Xuanbao to the last row, the furthest from the Master.

Those who sat in the first row were academically outstanding students, and they had to be conscious of being poor students.

Yan Huan hurriedly followed the two girls.

Yan Feng thought for a moment and sat down beside Xuanyuan Que.

Xuanyuan Que: "..."
