Chapter 395 - 395 Flowery Path
395 Flowery Path
If Little Ah Yu wanted to return to Hu Family Village, she had to go to the Yang Family Private School to apply for leave from the teacher first.
Teacher Yang had long treated Little Ah Yu as a real student, so he took the opportunity to teach her seriously.
Originally, the content of the three-year-old child’s studies was simple. She only needed to memorize some random books.
However, Little Ah Yu usually displayed great intelligence. Not only did Teacher Yang ask her to memorize books, but he also asked her to memorize a few poems and even write two large words.
Before leaving, the Teacher held the large words written by Little Ah Yu and said, “Your writing is still not good. It doesn’t have any style. When you return to your hometown this time, don’t forget your studies. Practice two large words every day. When you return on leave, I’ll give you a test and teach you again.”
Little Ah Yu nodded vigorously and bowed to Teacher Yang. “Teacher, I understand.”
Of course, she had to learn how to write well. Every word of the letter that Big Brother Ah You had written was beautiful.
And the words she wrote were said by her family to be like little buns, each rounder than the last.
When Little Ah Yu returned, Ouyang Changjing and the others were stunned.
Ouyang Pei said, “I remember when Ruan Ruan was this old, not to mention memorizing books, she only knew how to draw randomly when she picked up a pen. At that time, your father’s books were often—”
Not only that, as the only princess of the Ouyang Family, she was really doted on by the entire royal family.
Naturally, she was especially pampered.
She liked to follow the old emperor and draw randomly on memorials. Later on, they coaxed her and made a princess seal for Ruan Ruan.
Hence, on the memorials received by the ministers, other than the emperor’s personal approval, there was also a small princess seal. On it were the words “Ruan Ruan knows.”
“Now, I suspect that this child might be the child of another royal family member. Our Ruan Ruan was not so smart when she was young.” Ouyang Changjing was also suspicious.
Ouyang Changjing knew his little sister the best. As soon as she picked up a book, she would complain that she had a headache and when they told her to write, she’d be hungry.
Every time Royal Father gave her a test, she would act shamelessly.
It was obvious that she was not cut out for studies.
“Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to that kid that Ruan Ruan could calm down in the end.” At this point, Ouyang Pei suddenly trembled. “Did that kid go to the barbarians tribe and not return after half a year? If he comes back and finds out that we have news of Ruan Ruan, he’ll probably hate us too.”
Ouyang Changjing had also thought of this.
“That kid has become more and more unreasonable in recent years. It’s better that he doesn’t know.” If that person had followed them, they wouldn’t have been so gentle. Perhaps they would have kidnapped the child back to West Wind Nation on the day they arrived.
Ye Yuncang smiled faintly and did not say anything.
Previously, when he returned to West Wind Nation, he wanted to look for that “crazy person”. Unfortunately, he was not around.
Otherwise, there would really be a lot of fun to watch.
Other than Wang Sanlang, three others followed Old Madam Wang back to Hu Family Village.
Old man Wang was originally going to be left behind. He really could not help but want to see what the village was like now. He wanted to follow them back.
Old Madam Wang did not agree at first, so Old man Wang pursed his lips and looked at her, looking stubborn.
“Dalang, don’t follow us back first. When your brothers are on farming leave, bring them back to the village.” Old Madam Wang looked at the confused Wang Dalang and said to him, “Your Second Uncle is going to the academy outside to study soon. Your Second Aunt has to follow him. Chuanfu’s family has to look after the bun shop. Your Fourth Uncle isn’t at home, and your Fourth Aunt has to go to the private school. We’ll have to rely on you to support the family.”
Wang Dalang’s mouth widened. “Ah? Grandma, I’m not married yet—”
“Your marriage has already been decided. Coincidentally, you’ll be staying at home during this period of time to prepare for the wedding. Don’t neglect your future in-laws.” Old Madam Wang smiled faintly. “If you can’t grasp this marriage, I’ll go to Big River Village later and bring Liang Yue back for you.”
Wang Dalang: “…”
This was too ruthless!
Speaking of the young lady from the registrar’s family, when Wang Dalang went with his mother and grandmother, he did not even sit for ten minutes.
The girl was actually wearing a veil. After sitting for a while, she was ordered away by her mother.
To be honest, Wang Dalang did not even see what the girl looked like, let alone know her personality.
Later on, Grandma went to talk to Lord Zhang about something. After that, they did not even have the time to stroll around the county city and he returned home in a daze.
Until now, Wang Dalang was still not confident.
How could it be considered settled?
Seeing that Wang Dalang was hesitating, Wang Chuanfu slapped his shoulder. “Dalang, your Grandma is training you. You’re about to get married. Shouldn’t you be dignified and steady? You’re the eldest grandson of our Wang Family. You can’t embarrass the Wang Family.”
His words made Wang Dalang’s shoulders feel heavy.
Wang Dalang asked, “Father, before you and Mother got married, did Grandma also let you take charge?”
“If your father could be in charge, half of the white hair on my head would be gone.” Old Madam Wang did not show Wang Chuanfu any mercy at all. “Your family has to have someone who can take charge. Otherwise, don’t be the eldest branch. Step down the rankings and be a younger brother!”
Wang Chuanfu: “…”
Wang Dalang: “…”
The West Wind Nation secret guard hiding in the dark: “…” Were all the old ladies in town so valiant now?
Chi She, who happened to be on duty, smiled at them.
There are still many things you don’t know.
Just like that, Wang Dalang was left behind.
Old Madam Wang brought the eldest branch couple and Little Ah Yu to the mule cart that Old man Wang had bought and slowly walked towards Hu Family Village.
Not long after they walked out of the town, they met a few officials sent by Zhang Zhan. They said that they had heard that their village school had been built and asked a few officials to go over and patrol to see if there were any concerning matters.
Ouyang Changjing and the others, who were following behind, also heard the report from their subordinates in the carriage.
Ouyang Changjing: “The patrol is fake. They’re just here to ensure that the village’s name is clear.”
Although there were not many private schools in the villages under the county city, it was not few. Not every village could obtain the opportunity to be patrolled like this.
“This county magistrate of Yongding County was previously the Imperial Envoy for disaster relief. The people of Hu Family Village once saved him.” This was not a secret in Yongding County, so Ye Yuncang had naturally heard of it.
Ouyang Changjing nodded. “Since he knows how to repay kindness, I think this county magistrate is not too bad.”
There were a few paths from Nanhe Town to Hu Family Village. Other than an official path, there were also a few small paths.
Old man Wang drove the mule cart, but he did not take the spacious official road. Instead, he drove on a road that was only wide enough for one and a half mule carts.
The subordinates driving the carriage for Ouyang Changjing were vigilant and thought that they wanted to bring them to some remote place.
In the end, they realized that although the path was not as spacious, the path was very smooth. There was even a long stretch of stone path paved over some relatively rugged areas.
There was a close connection between the stones. Be it the mule cart or the carriage, the bumpiness was not as strong.
What surprised them the most was that this path that led to an unknown destination was actually filled with wildflowers on both sides.
All kinds of wildflowers surrounded the path. Although they were not precious, they looked especially lively, as if they were welcoming something.
Just as they were puzzled, Little Ah Yu’s happy voice sounded. “Wow, the flowers everyone planted are blooming. They’re so beautiful!”
