Chapter 203 Mr. Zhuang

"What's his name?" Zhou Laosan thought carefully.

"Oh, I remembered, his name is Zhuang, Zhuang Zhe!"

"Let's go, dad will take you there."

Zhou Laosan took Fat Miao'er's hand and stepped forward, knocking on the door.

"Who is it?"

A slightly sad voice came from the courtyard, and then the door was opened, and a man appeared in front of Zhou Laosan and Fat Miao'er.

He has long shawl hair, stubble all over his face, stern eyebrows, baggy clothes, a little... unkempt.

He doesn't look like a literati, but rather... a bandit!
"Who are you looking for?"

Zhuang Zhe looked at Zhou Laosan vigilantly, impatiently.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhuang, for the trouble, my name is Zhou Chunsheng."

As Zhou Lao San said, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the direction of Zhou Lao's family: "That grocery store is opened by my elder brother's family."

Hearing this, Zhuang Zhe's face softened a little. He understood that this is a neighbor, so he asked, "What do you want to see me for?"

"Appreciate teacher, Mr. Zhuang, I want to apprentice."

Before Zhou Laosan could answer, Fat Miao'er took the initiative to take a step forward, raised the gift in his hand, raised his head, and looked expectantly at Zhuang Zhe.

"Ok?"

Zhuang Zhe was taken aback.

Zhou Laosan quickly explained: "We heard that Mr. Zhuang is good, so we came to pay a special visit, hoping that Mr. Zhuang can accept the little girl."

Learn well?
Zhuang Zhe smiled lowly, half mocking.

"Who did you hear?"

"He, He Wenchang."

Zhou Laosan told the truth.

Zhuang Zhe frowned when he heard this, doubts flashed in his eyes.

He Wenchang?
Apparently no memory of the name.

"never mind!"

He shook his head and moved to the left.

"Come in first!"

Zhou Laosan and Fat Miao'er were overjoyed after hearing this, and walked in behind him, silently looking at the small courtyard.

The small courtyard is not big, boxy, and overall it is even smaller than the current residence of Fat Miao'er and the others.

Two living rooms, a living room, a study, a utility room, and a small kitchen.

"Ziling, make a pot of tea and entertain the guests."

Zhuang Zhe shouted towards the study.

As soon as the words fell, the door of the study was pushed open, and a young man came out.

He is fair and clean, wearing a sky blue dress, and his whole body is carved with jade, very handsome.

Huh?this person...

Zhou Laosan frowned, feeling like he had seen this face somewhere before.

"Xu Ziling!"

Before he could figure it out, Fat Miao'er by the side had already yelled, waving his little hands excitedly to make a move.

"Fat Meow!"

Xu Ziling paused, surprise flashed in his eyes, he never expected that the guests who came to the dealer were Fat Miaoer and her father.

Putting aside his doubts, Xu Ziling nodded slightly, made a pot of tea and brought it into the living room as Zhuang Zhe ordered.

Inside the living room.

Fat Miao'er and Zhou Lao San took their seats one by one. Xu Ziling came over and poured tea, but he didn't back out, but stood beside Zhuang Zhe. This move made Fat Miao'er thoughtful.

She had heard a little about Xu Ziling's identity, and knew that he was the son of a wealthy family, and he had quite a strong background.

Now that he appeared in the banker, this posture again strengthened Fat Miao'er's determination to become a teacher.

She stood up and walked in front of Zhuang Zhe, following Wei Shu's example, she saluted solemnly.

"Mr. Zhuang, I want to learn, so please accept me as an apprentice."

The fair face, soft voice, and firm eyebrows represent Fat Miao'er's determination to study.

"I don't accept disciples."

After hearing this, Zhuang Zhe shook his head, without even thinking about it, he refused directly.

Fat Miao'er didn't speak, and her big watery eyes fell on Xu Ziling.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Zhuang Zhe glanced at her and added, "Except for Ziling."

Zhuang Zhe shook his head secretly in his heart, it wasn't that he wanted to accept Xu Ziling, but that he had to accept Xu Ziling because of the great favor of the Xu family.

"Sir, can you give me a chance?"

Fat Miao'er raised her head and looked over beggingly.

Zhuang Zhe didn't say yes or no, but asked: "Why do you want to study?"

The reason why men want to study is very simple, either for fame and fortune, or because they have great ambitions and want to do practical things for the people, nothing more than these two points.

What about women?
Zhuang Zhe wanted to hear Fat Meow'er's reason.

Fat Miao'er scratched her head when she heard this. There are many reasons for wanting to study, the biggest reason being that she likes it.

"Reading can make sense, reading can solve puzzles, and reading can broaden horizons. Sir, I don't want to be a white man."

Fat Meower thinks she is a smart cat, and the more she learns, the smarter she will become.

Reading can change destiny, this sentence has never been empty talk.

"You do have an idea."

Zhuang Zhe nodded. Children are innocent and romantic, but he never thought that Fat Miaoer would tell lies.

"Women cannot take the imperial examination." Zhuang Zhe suddenly said.

Fat Miao'er's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and his big eyes were wide open.

Dissatisfied: "It turns out that Mr. is also a common man, and he has prejudice against women."

"Besides, I didn't study for the imperial examination." Fat Miao'er pouted.

As soon as this remark came out, Zhuang Zhe was startled, and then laughed loudly, and the laughter resounded throughout the room.

Enough of laughing, Zhuang Zhe closed his voice, and said with a bit of carefreeness: "You little girl, you are really interesting."

"Have you ever heard a saying that the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Who is not a layman in life?"

Zhuang Zhe thought of himself. Wasn't he the same before? He was full of ambition and wanted to do a great cause for the country and the people, but ended up with this disability.

Zhuang Zhe didn't point to Fat Miao'er to answer, but said to himself: "Since you want to study, come here. As for how much you can learn, it depends on your own ability."

"Thank you, sir!"

Fat Miao'er was overjoyed and handed over the gift.

Zhuang Zhe turned to look at Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling understood, took a step forward, and accepted it.

"Mr. Zhuang, what about Shu Xiu?"

Zhou Laosan asked.

Zhuang Zhe waved his hand: "The gift has been received, just forget about the money."

He taught children to read out of sheer interest and never thought of making a living out of it.

"what's your name?"

Zhuang Zhe asked.

"Mr. Hui, my name is Fat Miaoer."

Fat Meow replied.

"Fat Meow..."

Zhuang Zhe stretched out his voice.

Zhou Laosan answered immediately and explained: "The little girl's name is Zheng Miao, and her nickname is Fat Miao'er."

"I see."

Zhuang Zhe nodded, and said to Xu Ziling: "Take this, this little chubby cat to the study first, and explain to her what you should prepare."

"Yes, teacher."

After Xu Ziling got the order, he waved to Fat Miao'er, and the two walked out of the living room one after the other.

As soon as he went out, Fat Miao'er heaved a sigh of relief, and pulled up Xu Ziling's sleeves with a smile.

"Xu Ziling, we will be classmates from now on."

"classmate?"

Xu Ziling was slightly puzzled.

Fat Miao'er thought for a while: "It's a classmate."

Xu Ziling smiled: "I didn't expect you to find this place."

"Acquaintance introduction!"
