Everyone in the mansion was very busy today, even Ah Ling was very busy. Little Zhao Shu couldn't find anyone to play with her, so she wandered around the mansion out of boredom.

She walked quickly past the entrance of the academy. After a while, little Zhao Shu turned around and walked back. She lay down at the entrance, half of her head exposed, and looked inside.

Eh? Where are the little brother and his friends?
She poked her little head out, and there was no one in the academy. Little Zhao Shu's eyes lit up, and she looked around. Daddy said that she could only go to school when she grew up, so it should be okay for her to go and see where she would go to school in the future, right?
Thinking of this, little Zhao Shu was so excited that she took small steps and ran towards the academy.

Pushing open the half-open door, little Zhao Shu lifted her little feet and stepped in gently.

Little Zhao Shu looked at the room full of tables and chairs, feeling extremely curious. She stretched out her chubby little finger and lightly tapped the table beside her, then she grinned.

Little Zhao Shu walked around the table with her short legs to the chair, looked at the crooked stool, and suddenly sat down on the ground.

Little Zhao Shu twisted her body and faced the place where the old man often stood. She couldn't hide the happiness in her eyes.

"The teacher is right. I will definitely discipline that brat strictly when I get back!" A strange man's voice sounded outside.

Marquis Xuanping and his men arrived in front of the academy and looked at the open door with confusion in their eyes. How did the door open?
But they didn't think much about it, and they all walked in, chatting and laughing.

"This environment is excellent. My little brat is so lucky to be able to study here!"

"Master Li is right!"

"I feel the same way!"

".."

The crowd echoed and complimented in a variety of ways.

One of the officials suddenly felt something soft under his feet. He looked down and saw a small hand under his shoe.

The official was startled by the hand that appeared out of nowhere and shouted, "Who! Come out!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him in confusion, the official pointed under the table next to him and said, "There is someone under this table!"

Zhao Yao came to the table, squatted down, and met the pair of big round eyes under the table.

Zhao Yao: “.”

Zhao Yao stood up and apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry, my daughter was naughty and frightened you all."

The official who had just stepped on little Zhao Shu's hand had a flash of embarrassment in his eyes and waved his hands at Zhao Yao: "It's okay, it's okay." Then, as if he had thought of something, his face tightened: "I seem to have stepped on the little girl's hand just now, I, I didn't mean it!"

Zhao Yao smiled in understanding, bent down and waved to the little Zhao Shu inside: "Shu'er, come out."

Hearing what her father said, little Zhao Shu crawled out from under the table obediently, looking at Zhao Yao with anxious eyes: "Daddy."

Zhao Yao stroked little Zhao Shu's head with his big hand: "Go out and play first?"

Little Zhao Shu nodded obediently: "Yeah." Then she ran out with her short legs.

Zhao Yao watched little Zhao Shu run away, then turned around and said to everyone, "Excuse me."

"No, no, your daughter is very cute."

"That's right, that's right. If my brat could be half as good as your daughter, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

.

Little Zhao Shu ran a long way before stopping. She twisted her little fingers nervously. Would her daddy be angry?

She just wanted to go in and take a look, she didn't mean to scare those uncles.

Little Zhao Shu spent the whole day wondering whether her father would be angry. In the end, she didn't know whether her father was angry or not. But the next day, the servant beside her father told her that she could go to the academy and go to school with her little brother and others.

After the servant left, little Zhao Shu immediately went to the room and took out the cloth bag from the box, hung the bag diagonally on her body, and skipped to the academy.

The teacher saw little Zhao Shu standing at the door and waved to her, asking her to come in.

Marquis Xuanping had already greeted him yesterday, and his eldest daughter would also come to attend the class today, so he did not show any surprise when he saw little Zhao Shu standing outside.

Little Zhao Shu walked in obediently, and the academy, which had been bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet.

I don't know who was the first to say, "Why is she here?" There was dissatisfaction in the tone.

Little Zhao Shu raised her head and glanced carefully at the person who was speaking. Seeing that person was looking at her with displeasure, she quickly lowered her head.

With one person taking the lead, the others also looked at Xiao Zhaoshu with dissatisfaction.

"I don't want to study with her!"

"Me too!"

"Take me one!"

.

The teacher frowned as he looked at the chaotic classroom below, and slammed the ruler in his hand heavily on the table: "Quiet!"

As soon as the master spoke, the boys who had been so arrogant just now suddenly became wilted and dared not to make a sound.

The master retracted his majestic gaze, pointed to the seat next to Xie Jin and said to Xiao Zhaoshu: "Just sit there."

These children of officials came to attend classes reluctantly because of threats and intimidation from their families, so they were not willing to sit in the first row. Therefore, there was only little Xie Jin in the first row, and now there is also little Zhao Shu.

Little Zhaoshu obediently walked over and sat down. After the teacher saw that little Zhaoshu was seated, he continued with his lecture.

The teacher held the scroll and read a sentence, and the ignorant children followed him.

“When a person is born, his nature is good.”

“When a person is born, his nature is good.”

"We are similar in nature, □□."

"We are similar in nature, □□."

"If you don't teach me, I won't teach you."

Because all those present were children, the teacher only taught for one hour in the morning, leaving them two breaks in between. When the time was up, the teacher said to the children who had been unable to sit still: "Dismiss." As soon as the teacher left, the servants and maids who had been waiting outside the door for a long time swarmed in with food boxes in their hands.

The food in the food boxes were what they had just picked up from the kitchen of the Marquis' Mansion. At this time every day, the Marquis' Mansion would first prepare the meals for these young masters, then pack them in food boxes one by one, waiting for the servants and maids to come and take them.

The servants and maids came before their respective masters, knelt down and placed the warm meals in the food boxes.

There was a plate of grilled shrimp, beef, a dish of green vegetables and a bowl of rice on each little master's table.

It's not that the servants were lazy and prepared the same meals for these young masters, but Zhang Lanyin had specifically instructed that their meals must be prepared the same way, with no exceptions.

Little Zhao Shu looked at the scene awkwardly, then put on her cloth bag and prepared to go back to the yard to eat.

Little Xie Jin looked up and wanted to call out to Little Zhao Shu, but he didn't call out her name until she walked out.

Little Zhao Shu walked back slowly. Ah Ling had already brought back the meal, which included three big, white and plump steamed buns, a plate of green vegetables and a small plate of pickles.

Little Zhao Shu climbed onto the stool, swung her short legs, and started eating.

The two of them ate very quickly. After all, they were still young. One of them had been listening to classes for the whole morning, and the other had been working for the whole morning. They were already very hungry.

There was only one steamed bun left. Xiao Zhaoshu cut the bun into two and handed half to Ah Ling. They both lowered their heads and continued to eat.

After they finished eating, Ah Ling continued to work, and little Zhao Shu also returned to the academy.

When little Zhao Shu returned to the academy, the people inside had already finished their meals and were now sitting together in groups of three or four playing.

As soon as Xiao Zhaoshu stepped in, the noise inside suddenly quieted down for a moment, and everyone looked at her nervously.

Then someone pushed the shoulder of the person next to him, and everyone immediately reacted and continued to play, and the academy instantly returned to its previous liveliness.

"That." Little Xie Jin spoke hesitantly.

Little Zhao Shu sat down on the chair, holding her chin and looking at him: "Little brother, what's wrong?"

Little Xie Jin glanced at the stool under her buttocks, then looked away as if nothing had happened: "It's okay."

"Oh." Little Zhao Shu held her cheek and turned back.

The laughter behind her became louder and louder. Little Zhao Shu had no idea what they were laughing at. She was bored and lay down on the table with her face facing outward, waiting for the teacher to come and teach her.

Little Zhao Shu took a nap, and when she woke up again, she was awakened by a burst of uniform voices.

Little Zhao Shu opened her eyes in a daze, and saw the little brother standing up and bowing respectfully towards the front.

Little Zhao Shu dozed off and exposed herself, and she leaned forward to stand up.

As soon as she moved, she was pulled back to the chair. When she moved again, her body was half-standing up. Little Zhao Shu lowered her head in confusion. Why did she feel a little sticky?
But she didn't care much about it. She pulled her body upwards with force, stood up, and bowed to the teacher.

The teacher looked at them and nodded, and little Zhao Shu sat down with everyone else.

Little Zhao Shu followed the teacher and talked about all sorts of things for the whole afternoon. Soon it was time to end the school. After the teacher said "school is over", everyone ran out happily like wild horses.

The servants and maids quickly packed up their young master's things and hurriedly chased after him.

Little Zhao Shu stood up and looked at Little Xie Jin: "Little brother, I'm leaving."

After saying this, little Zhao Shu grabbed the cloth bag on her body and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Little Zhao Shu turned around and asked, "Little brother?"

"Next time you sit on a chair, look down at it before you sit on it, okay?"

"Why?" Little Zhao Shu was puzzled.

Little Xie Jin said immediately: "This is the rule that everyone who comes to the academy to attend classes must abide by."

Xiao Zhaoshu nodded quickly: "Okay."

Xiao Xie Jin: "Also, remember to change this outfit when you go back."

Little Zhao Shu didn't ask why and nodded obediently. What the little brother said made sense and she had to listen.

Seeing that she responded obediently, Xiao Xie Jin nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go."

"Oh." Little Zhao Shu followed him and walked out of the academy with him.

The two walked together. When they were halfway along the road, Xiao Zhaoshu pointed to the road behind them and said, "Little brother, the gate is over there."

Xiao Xie Jin: "I know."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhaoshu looked up at him in confusion: "Oh."

Soon the two of them arrived in front of Xiao Zhaoshu's yard. Xiao Zhaoshu pointed to her yard and said, "Little brother, let's play together."

Little Xie Jin shook his head: "No, my mother is still waiting for me at home." After that, he turned around and walked back the way he came.

Little Zhao Shu waved vigorously at his back: "Goodbye, little brother!"

At night, little Zhao Shu happily changed out of her clothes, frowned, and looked at the sugar stains that had stuck to her skirt at some point. After thinking for a while, she couldn't figure out when they had stuck to her skirt, so she put them in the corner, took out a dress from the closet and put it at the head of the bed. When everything was done, she blew out the candle, ran to the bed, and rolled into the quilt.
