A life of clearness

Chapter 166: Is it a dream? Or not? Transformed into a butterfly (Part )

The other middle-aged man said with satisfaction, "In that case, we won't disturb Mr. Yu Le's class."

He raised his hand and pointed to a room on the right side of the corridor. "The young ladies of the Zhou family and their sisters are waiting for you there."

Rong Qing bowed to the two of them, then walked towards the house calmly, pretending not to notice the covetous gazes of the two middle-aged men behind her.

Even though Mr. Yu Le was only wearing the academy's simple uniform, his fair neck, decorated with a black cross-collar, was still stared at maliciously.

They had been invited by the Zhou family to teach their children for several years. This time, a female teacher suddenly came to teach the Zhou family's daughter, which naturally surprised them. Moreover, they also found out the origin of this female teacher, who was actually taught by Master Guo. The nobles of Jing State all liked to invite the female teacher taught by Master Guo to teach their own ladies.

Although the Zhou family was rich, they were not truly powerful. I didn't know why Mr. Yu Le came here to teach.

They were a little uneasy at first, and even thought of making some sarcastic remarks. Unexpectedly, when they met him in person today, Mr. Yu Le was actually very young, just at the prime age of a young girl.

Although her expression was solemn and her clothes were old-fashioned, it couldn't hide her good looks. There was even a different kind of temptation that immediately aroused the lust of the two men, making them unable to resist teasing her.

On the other hand, even if Rong Qing guessed what the two middle-aged men were thinking, she was too lazy to pay attention. Because, this familiar scene in front of her...

"How could it be!" Rong Qing was extremely shocked, "This is not my memory."

She was sure.

This is the Zhou family in Yuxiang Town. To her left is where the men of the Zhou family take classes, while to her right is where the women take classes.

"I can confirm that the time I came with Ah Xiu was my first time to the Zhou family."

"The first thirty-five levels of illusion are all my memories. Why did the thirty-sixth level change?"

"Whose memory is this?"

Rong Qing raised her hand and looked at it carefully. Her small hand was soft and boneless with a bit of baby fat, and there were a few calluses on the sides of her fingers from years of holding pens.

Rong Qing's own hands were slender with distinct joints, and beneath the seemingly soft skin was an extremely powerful force that could burst out at any time. It didn't seem gentle, but it was very powerful.

"Mr. Yule... could it be the female teacher that Ah Xiu mentioned?"

Rong Qing's mind raced. She was a student of Master Guo, but at that time, Master Guo had already semi-retired in Suicheng. Apart from knowing a few of the Master's close students, Rong Qing actually had no idea which female teachers had listened to the Master's lectures in the past. At least, she had never heard Master Guo mention any Mr. Yu Le.

Moreover, Rong Qing found it a bit strange that the female teacher under Master Guo came to such a small town to teach... But as she gradually took control of this body, she had no way of exploring the memory of this body and could only act according to circumstances and take one step at a time.

Rong Qing was thinking about something, but she walked slowly and calmly into the classroom under the gaze of the two middle-aged men.

……

As the sun rose, the room that Rong Qing had thought was a little dark was now illuminated. The desks, shelves, low cabinets, and other items were cleaned by maids every day, so they were dust-free and exuded the warm luster of wood. The room was full of girls, the youngest was only seven or eight years old, and the oldest was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Some had maids to accompany them to study, while others sat alone behind the desk. But no matter what, they were all spoiled girls, and their faces were pink and tender. The dresses they wore were made of good materials, even if they were not extremely expensive. There were fine patterns embroidered on them, and it was obvious that it took a lot of effort to embroider them like this.

Rong Qing took over the teaching position temporarily. She was not embarrassed and walked to the desk at the front for the teacher. She put down the bookcase hanging on her shoulder and took out books and a brush and inkstone.

She had followed Master Guo to teach Princess Yunnong. Princess Yunnong was also about the same age at that time. So Rong Qing was not worried that she would not teach well and be discovered by others.

The girls who were originally whispering to each other looked at Rong Qing slowly arranging the stationery, felt her aura, and now they all quieted down.

Children are simple-minded and sensitive. Even though Rong Qing didn't look angry, they could sense that the new female teacher was unusual... They had an intuition similar to that of a small animal. So they didn't dare to act rashly.

"Since I have accepted your tuition fees, I will do my best for you." Rong Qing knelt behind the desk and went straight to the point without any polite talk.

"I know that you all have different purposes for learning, but for me, there is only one purpose. That is to learn, master, and thoroughly understand what I teach you."

"You are still young, but when it comes to learning, both old and young have a lot of homework. What you need to do now is: first, recite, and second, practice calligraphy. Each one is not easy, but since I am your teacher, I will do my best to help each of you complete it."

"Today is my first class with you. According to the rules, I want to test your knowledge. I know that some of you can only recognize a few characters, while some of you have learned a hundred characters. It would be unfair to test all of you with ordinary enlightenment books."

"Therefore, in the next quarter of an hour, I will teach you five words that you have never seen before. After the quarter of an hour, write out from memory all the five words you remember. You can write as many as you can. Only when you are completely correct will it be considered as writing a word correctly."

"After this, I will spend another 25 minutes teaching you an article to memorize. When the time is up, you must recite it to me one by one."

"This is the entire assessment content. Depending on the results, your position will also change. Do you understand?"

Rong Qing stopped writing and placed it on the pen stand. With the words just now, she had already written the five words she wanted to teach.

"Students understand." A clear and childish voice sounded. These girls who had learned rules since childhood were not completely ignorant.

However, these delicate voices were completely silenced when Rong Qing hung those five words behind her.

There was no other reason. It was just that these five words were terribly complicated and far beyond their understanding.

Rong Qing was not surprised to see the girls' expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

She thought to herself, "The structure is different and there are more strokes, so of course it's difficult. But if it's a little harder, beyond their upper limit, then we can see where the limit of their ability to recognize and remember words is."

"Later, in order to test their recitation ability, I also selected an article of about 200 words, almost all of which were allusions, to see how much they could memorize."

"This way, we can see the difference in their levels. Then...teaching children of different abilities separately will make things easier for both of them."

Rong Qing thought about this and glanced at the window at the left rear of the classroom. It was open, letting in bright sunlight and a faint scent of flowers. But what she saw was indeed empty, without the figure of Ah Xiu when she was little.
