Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 225 Today is the right time

The busyness of the Cheng family is no secret, and Cheng Xiaosi is not embarrassed because he is idle. "Everyone is busy, but I am idle alone. I thought about Sister Sijin saying that my grandmother misses me, so I came here specially." On a trip, I wanted to see if there is any husband I know in the Yuan family. My second uncle’s brother has not found a husband yet. Now he is studying at home. The adults are busy and cannot take care of him. He is at the age of studying, so he cannot give him Abandoned.”

Mrs. Yuan said that the Yuan family's clan school was not in the capital, "How old are you?"

"I'm nine years old. I used to study in my hometown."

Mrs. Yuan said that it would be better to send her to a school, and her husband could only do tutoring at home. "This school is also very particular. The schools outside are naturally not as good as those of aristocratic families, but the schools of aristocratic families are more complicated." Some are not as pure as outside."

Cheng Xiaosi still understood this, so he quickly asked which ethnic groups had better academic performance and whether they should accept children from outside.

Mrs. Yuan smiled and said, "I have to accept it. I will ask Wulang to get you a list later. You can take it back and discuss with your family to see which one is suitable."

Mrs. Yuan couldn't give her direct advice on this point. On the surface, she just looked for a place to study, but she also joined the team and went to study in someone else's family school. The two families had to have more contacts. If one day there was a name in the imperial examination , it is necessary to put the mark learned from other people's clan.

Cheng Xiaosi understood, "We should discuss this carefully. Thank you madam for your advice."

Mrs. Yuan was very happy, "If you don't understand anything in the future, just come and ask me. There is no need to be so polite to me."

"Grandma Grandma."

There was a sound of a baby's voice, and Cheng Xiaosi turned around. The two children of the eldest brother of the Yuan family came hand in hand. Behind them was a woman who told her to "slow down." The little girl named Xuan'er was holding hands with her younger brother Wen Sheng. After entering, he politely greeted Mrs. Yuan, and then looked at Cheng Xiaosi curiously.

Cheng Xiaosi smiled and bent down, "I remember you, you are Xuan'er, and you are Wen Sheng, right?"

Little girl Xuan'er nodded with a smile, "I remember you too, you are the fourth girl and will be our fifth aunt in the future."

Cheng Xiaosi laughed out loud, "We only met once and you remembered me. Then I'm happy. I also brought you the gadgets I promised to bring you last time."

He raised his eyes and called Huahua, "Bring the box."

Huahua came forward with a box in her hands. Inside were the gadgets that Cheng Xiaosi had recently acquired, including a small butterfly that could move without wind, a doll that could not be pushed over, a small statue with a wooden wheel, a spinning top and a jigsaw puzzle. She was shocked when she saw the jigsaw puzzle for the first time at a grocery stall. After asking, she found out that it was a common table among high-ranking families. Seven small tables of different shapes could be put together to form a big table when needed. It's practical.

"I don't know if you like it or not, so I'll give it to you."

Little girl Xuan'er took a fancy to the pair of windless automatic butterflies at a glance, and played with them in her hands, "This is beautiful, I like it."

Mrs. Yuan smiled on the side and said: "Since you like it, you should say thank you."

Little girl Xuan'er raised her smile and said, "Thank you, Aunt Five."

Three-year-old Vincent also raised his face and smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Five." Cheng Xiaosi had an inexplicable feeling that he was getting old. He couldn't help it, because his seniority suddenly came up.

Yuan Sijin led Cheng Xiaosi and a pair of nephews to meet the elder lady, and there was a lot of excitement when they saw her. Cheng Xiaosi knew how to make the old lady happy, and made the old lady laugh very happily and with a few words. After arriving, he also told the old lady a story about the Baihua Fairy and the Twelve Flower Fairies. The old lady listened with great interest. When Yuan Su came, he was talking about the Baihua Fairy arriving in Lilliput. When the old lady appeared, she made a move. Ask him to be silent and find a place to sit down. It is the first time for her to hear such a bizarre story and she cannot be interrupted.
"The Baihua Fairy finally succeeded in finding the Twelve Flower Fairies. The Twelve Flower Fairies reunited to cast their spells, and order was restored in the world. Then the Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Twelve Flower Fairies also successfully returned to heaven."

The story was relatively long. By the time Cheng Xiaosi finished telling it, two sticks of incense had passed. You could call the story childish. The old lady was very happy to hear it. The children also found it very novel. In the end, the old lady sighed with satisfaction. "She showed off her beauty at the wrong time, causing the time sequence to be reversed. This is such a good story. I don't know who wrote it."

Cheng Xiaosi said she didn't know either, "I prefer all kinds of strange stories. I often listen to a little bit here and read a little bit there, but I don't pay attention to who wrote it."

The senator's wife took her hand and told her to come often in the future. Yuan Sijin looked spoiled and resentful, "As soon as Xiaosi came, grandma lost sight of me as a serious granddaughter. Grandma is just partial."

The senator's wife also smiled and gave her an angry look, and said with fondness in her eyes: "It's not enough for grandma to pamper you all day long. She even has a mouth that begs for beatings. Xiaosi is your sister-in-law. Grandma loves her more, so she is I won’t run away, otherwise your fifth brother will cry to death.”

Everyone in the room laughed. Yuan Su didn't expect that the fire would burn him just because he was sitting there. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes, which made Yuan Sijin tease him, and then he stood up and faced him. The senator's wife handed over her hand and said, "Thank you, grandma, for thinking about your grandson."

That serious look caused another burst of laughter, and the elder lady laughed with tears. Cheng Xiaosi didn't leave until the old lady felt tired. On the way, he told Yuan Su about his desire to choose a clan to study.

"That boy from your second uncle's family? How did you learn before?"

Cheng Xiaosi said she didn't know, she couldn't judge.

"Do we still need to look at qualifications?"

Yuan Su told her that in addition to the complex relationships involved, the reason why clan studies are so popular is that they invite gentlemen who cannot be hired from outside. Those gentlemen have their own temperaments, and even if they enjoy the support of any family, they will bring up many things. Requested, "As a teacher, I naturally want to teach outstanding disciples."

Cheng Xiaosi stopped and said, "It's just that money is far less important than reputation, right?"

No wonder her father and second uncle haven't found a good gentleman these days. Maybe they are famous people who look down on Shunyi's family background.

Yuan Su suggested, "Instead of going to the clan school, it is better to go to Qianyang Academy, which has a dedicated boy to pick you up. There are many students there and the teachers are not bad. The main thing is that there are not so many troubles."

"If you need anything, you can come to me. I'm familiar with the headmaster of the college and can make a recommendation on your behalf."

Cheng Xiaosi felt that today was the right time to come, "I'll ask my second uncle tonight and I'll come see you again if I can."

Yuan Su nodded and said that it was still early today and the weather was not bad. He asked her if she wanted to go to the outskirts of Beijing to see the maple leaves. As she had said before, she had been too busy and couldn't go. Yuan Su suggested, "It's better to choose a different day than to hit it today." Just go for it.”
