Mrs Xue immediately thought of two things that Boyun had done for the first time today. One was to say something that was more than four words, and the other was to voluntarily give Du Weizhao a string of beads.

Thinking of the pearl, Mrs Xue straightened her body and said to Ju Xiang, "Go and summon one of Brother Yun's servants over."

The Mrs Xue asked about his son's activities these past few days in detail. She heard the wet nurse say, "After young master finishes studying in the past few days, he likes to flip through the pearls in the box, and when he sees something shining, he will pinch it and play for a while. After a short while, the servant will accompany the young master to sleep."

"There was a string of obsidian beads, remember?"

"I remember, the young master only took it and looked, and didn't wear it, because it was given by a noble. I put it in a box alone, and this morning the young master asked for it, and the servant put it in his purse."

"En, I'll give that pearl to someone else today. I'll rush him to come over and pick a string of beads to make up for it."

After shooing away Boyun's wet nurse, Mrs Xue was dazed for a while. A child who was not even five years old, what kind of thoughts could he have? Mrs Xue felt that this was impossible, she had seen too many children of the same age in the capital, one that was better looking than Weizhao, one with a gentle personality, grabbing a bunch of them. Then, where did Weizhao attract Boyun's attention, to actually be able to take the initiative to gift something to him, and even find a reason to do so?

Weizhao was not bad, but it was just not bad, it was not right for the two families, and there was only one son of Weizhao in the Du Family, so it seemed that he would have to rely on her in the future to age, even if she and Madame Du Su were cousins, for a sect like the Du Family, Xue Family would definitely not be able to marry Du Family.

But Boyun did treat Weizhao differently, how could Weizhao be any different from others?

Yes, what's the difference?

Weizhao was only a little girl, at most, she was a little more sensible. She had seen a lot of children in the, the poor people's children taking charge early, and the Du Family was not very poor either, just the clothes she was wearing, although they were sewn at an average level, but the materials were good, according to this, Du Family was still considered a rich family.

Mrs Xue didn't have any intention of fawning over her. She only treated them like relatives in the past. Let's put it this way, they were completely sincere and were very passionate.

Furthermore, Weizhao was older than Boyun ?

Mrs Xue sat up straight. Luckily, Lanxiang never had long nails, otherwise she might have been able to cut her skin.

However, she did not notice all of this right now. Her mind was only filled with the words that came from the Madame Du Su, "She is the ninth day of the ninth month ?"

Nine is the number of the Yang, and the Sun and the Moon should be united.

Unexpectedly, Weizhao actually had such a good birthday.

The Mrs Xue was thinking about Weizhao, while the Spring Flower was asking about her guests at Du Family.

The Madame Du Su gave a handful of fruits to the Spring Flower. At first, the Spring Flower was embarrassed to accept, but Weizhao pulled her hand and brought it over.

The Spring Flower was talking with Weizhao as they ate their fruits. Weizhao was not willing to eat the sweet fruit, holding a handful of locust flowers and chewing on them one by one.

"That little brother of today is so handsome ?"

Weizhao, "Wu. The elm should be here by now, right? "

Spring Flower said, "Uh, this one is still too tender. Once it is steamed, it will become water. I'll need at least two more days."

"If you don't steamed it, it would be good to eat it raw, no? Shall we go and pick some tomorrow? "

Spring Flower nodded her head in agreement. Weizhao turned around and asked her mother, "Mother, where is the hook that you pulled for the Sophora Flower?"

Madame Du Su came out of her room and pointed to the corner of the wall, "Tomorrow, when your father comes back, he will bring you guys along."

It's so painful to take a day off and start school again!

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The morning breeze was slightly chilly, and Weizhao was hiding in her bed, unwilling to come out.

Madame Du Su prepared a meal and carried it to the brick bed, "You should eat first before getting up, right?"

Weizhao hurriedly got up, "Wash first."

As usual, she was the last one to enter the academy. Mr Qian had arranged for the hours, so Madame Du Su only thought that as long as they entered the classroom at this hour, they would not be late.

After eating so much in the morning, the Madame Du Su didn't want to add any salt to her bowl, nor did she want to reward her with any extra dishes. Weizhao just ate a small bowl gloomily and was full.

He was full when he left the house. After an hour and a half, he started to get hungry ?

After Mr Qian heard her reciting a part of the book, she was about to explain it to her junior disciple when Weizhao's stomach started to growl.

"Follow me."

Weizhao was so ashamed that she followed him out of the classroom. Below, Ji Ming was so worried that he almost couldn't sit still, but actually he had brought some snacks with him, because he heard that Weizhao treated Xue Boyun at home yesterday, he was a little jealous, so he did not give them to her in time.

Xue Boyun looked at Weizhao's empty seat, and lowered his head and started to read.

Mr Qian lived in a small courtyard in the back of the academy. As an old man, he wasn't good at cooking, so he usually hired a servant woman to cook three meals for him. The Mr Qian led Weizhao to a stone table in the back of the courtyard.

The food box was very exquisite, and it looked very high-end! It definitely wasn't a street stall.

Mr Qian brought out a plate of dim sum. Weizhao looked down and saw, there were actually three types!

Weizhao looked carefully, one of them should be peanut kernel, the other was jujube, and she did not recognize the last one.

Mr Qian pushed the plate towards her and poured a cup of water. Unlike his usual seriousness, he looked at her "lovingly" and said, "Eat, eat."

Weizhao stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Sir."

Unlike most of her peers, she had never been interested in sweets since she was young. However, since she was hungry, and since it was a high-end dish that her teacher brought her, Weizhao pinched a piece of peanut kernel and slowly ate it. The taste was not bad, after eating three pieces in a row, her plate became empty with only two dishes left.

When night came, Mr Qian wrote home with tears flowing down his face. He asked Emperor QingHee if he still remembered the day when he was still studying, when he was hungry.

Emperor QingHee quickly replied. Actually, he did not like either of them, but because he was hungry, he had to force himself to eat a few mouthfuls. The other two did not even move.

The Mr Qian wrote another letter. With just one sentence, Weizhao was undoubtedly the next Emperor. Even the taste was the same as His Majesty's.

When I received Mr Qian's letter, he was overjoyed for half a day. In reply, he said that it's not good for her to eat too much salt in her child's house. I'll find an imperial physician to take a look at your pulse later, and let Weizhao take a look as well.

Mr Qian curled his lips. Is it for Weizhao to take a look and for him to take a look at his pulse?

He liked to eat salty things and almost never touched dessert. However, if he didn't like fruit, he would eat sugar, but he liked to nibble on sugar cane. Recently, he fell in love with sophora flower and elm money ?

The eunuch in the royal kitchen was on the verge of tears. Your Majesty, what are you eating? It's something poor people eat when they can't even afford to eat! Besides, where did he go to pick up the locust flowers?

Of course, Weizhao did not know about the things that the Emperor did. She only felt that Mister had been too nice to her recently.

She left her at school yesterday and told her mother that she had to eat more in the morning. Otherwise, she would get hungry before noon.

She sat down and asked: "Zhao, I asked you for the truth, did you act naughtily in the academy?"

Weizhao puffed her cheeks and shook her head.

"Mother knows that you don't like to learn this, and Mother doesn't care about that labor, but in this world, there are benefits to having more knowledge. Mother only hopes that you don't turn a blind eye, in case the sun rises and people start counting the money."

knew that Weizhao did not like to learn, even though she knew her daughter like a mother.

Weizhao was more sensible and more stable than she was in the past. In the past, she would follow Spring Flower to catch loaches, find tadpoles, or play with the mud, turning herself into a clay figurine and returning everyday. Even under her watch, she still had the ability to turn herself into ashes.

Even if others saw her, they would be happy with her in their hearts. Furthermore, for those essays that Weizhao had written, regardless of what she said, they would all be very reasonable, so the husband and wife naturally knew that her teacher was truly capable.

The day quickly turned to April and the weather gradually became hot. The Madame Du Su only wore it once before and then put it away, she could no longer keep it, so she gave it to Weizhao to wear.

"Today is your grandmother's anniversary celebration, what about you, little girl? There are a lot of lonely ghosts in the cemetery, so you can only bow to your mother a few times in the yard. Your father and I are going to school for one day, and once we release the school, we will see if we follow the teacher or go to your aunt's house." The Mrs Xue had finally settled down in a mansion a while ago. It was not too far away from the Du Family, so Weizhao decided to follow the Madame Du Su once, to stay as a guest with more rules.

"I'm following Teacher. Mother, you can go say a few words to Teacher." Weizhao held her mother's hand, eyes squinting in the warm sun.

"Of course." The Madame Du Su knew that Weizhao was not a child of Du Family, so she was naturally unwilling to bring her to her mother-in-law's grave.

Originally, Madame Du Su was worried that Mr Qian would be too stubborn, so she forced him to go to the grave. Unexpectedly, when Mr Qian heard that she came to pick Weizhao up later, he immediately nodded his head and agreed.

Unfortunately, she thought about the reason why she came here.

After getting off the school, Weizhao sat at the table and did not move. Just as Ji Ming was about to call her, Mister came in and said, "Weizhao has left behind her endorsement."

Weizhao waved her hand towards Ji Ming, signalling him to look at Ji Quan, who was standing outside the door.
