Before Qi Jinxing could breathe a sigh of relief, Qi Chengxu slapped the stone table with a bang.
"Idiot! Is this how you learned it in the academy? What kind of bullshit are these annotations!"
His face was blue and red, and his words were almost squeezed out from his teeth.
Li's smile suddenly froze, "What's wrong? Brother Xing's annotation is wrong?"
Qi Chengxu explained the correct annotations. There was silence in the flower hall, and a sense of embarrassment spread silently.
Ms. Li, who had laughed the most just now, was undoubtedly the most embarrassed now. It was Qi Jinxing who was originally embarrassed, but her quick talk revealed her true nature.
Li Shi gasped for breath and glared at Ji Shu:
"It's all your fault! Why are you a mother? You still praise Brother Xing when he said something wrong! Did you do it on purpose?"
"He is only seven years old. It is good if he dares to open his mouth. Naturally, he must be encouraged first. But with such a talent, it is difficult to compete with others for the spot of supervisor of the Guozixue."
Qi Jinxing's eyes turned red, "I, I'm just not good at this article! I'm always top-notch in the homework assigned by Master, including commentaries on classics and meanings, and arithmetic! Master said I will definitely be able to go to Guozixue!"
"Then let me ask you, the guests who listen across the wall divide the silver. I don't know the number of people, but I don't know the silver. Seven taels is more than four taels, and nine taels is less than half a catty. In this arithmetic problem, how many guests are there, and how many taels of silver are there?"
"..."
Qi Chengxu raised his eyebrows. He was not good at arithmetic and his listening was confused.
Li said angrily: "Your question is too difficult! You are clearly making things difficult for me."
"This topic is a question given by Master when my brother was taking the Chinese Academy of Sciences exam."
Ji Shu looked at Qi Jinxing with a confused face, shook his head and said, "The answer is six people and forty-six taels of silver."
Her white onion-like fingertips touched the stone table, tracing out the calculation method, and her voice was as gentle as the cry of an oriole.
Qi Chengxu looked at her profile and was lost in thought.
Putting aside everything else, Ji Shu is indeed a lady with both ability and political integrity.
"With a foundation like Brother Xing's, it would be difficult even to take the exam at the nearest academy, let alone the Imperial College entrance examination." Ji Shu commented.
Li immediately jumped to his feet: "You are talking nonsense! You said that Brother Xing can go to Guozi School, but Master Zhu from Qingyun Academy! He has countless students under his knees! How can his words be false!"
Ji Shu smiled, "I didn't say he must not be good. Maybe he can only write but not speak, right?"
Qi Jinxing buried himself in Mrs. Li's arms, no longer looking into Ji Shu's eyes, and burst into tears out of panic and fear of being wronged.
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, I'll take my brother back for a lunch break!"
Li took Jin Sun and left angrily. Ji Shushi stood up and walked out of the flower hall. Not far away, he heard someone following behind him.
"Shu'er..."
Ji Shu's right eyelid twitched, secretly thinking it was bad luck.
Qi Chengxu saw that Ji Shu's steps were not stopping, so he thought she didn't hear him, so he quickly caught up with her and stopped in front of her.
Ji Shu took a step back and said coldly:
"Second Master left so quickly and left my sister alone in the flower hall?"
"Since you're not here, she and I naturally have to avoid suspicion." Qi Chengxu waved to Chen Chen and took a small box from his hand.
"Shu'er, you and I have been married for many years, and I have never given you anything as a gift. I carefully selected this thing in the store. I hope you will like it."
Ji Shu lowered his eyes and looked at the small box in front of him, then raised his hand and opened it.
There was a white marble hairpin inside. She chuckled and motioned for Xitao to take it.
"Thank you, Master."
"How do you like it?"
Qi Chengxu took a step across, blocking Ji Shu's way, pretending to be fond of asking.
Ji Shupi smiled but said, "Second Master has time to go shopping and have fun, so why not read more to prepare for the entrance exam. I just gave Brother Xing the arithmetic question, and Second Master can't do it, right?"
Qi Chengxu suddenly turned pale.
"I begged my brother to get this entrance quota. Second Master, please don't embarrass me."
"you……"
Ji Shu walked away in a hurry, while Qi Chengxu stayed where he was, trembling with anger.
He kindly gave her a hosta in an attempt to make peace with her, but this is her attitude? What a shame!
Seeing this, Chen Chen tentatively said: "Second Master wants to rekindle the old relationship with the young lady, why not move to Changle Yuan first? Under the same roof, if you are more considerate of the young lady, the young lady will naturally calm down."
Qi Chengxu was originally forced to please Ji Shu because of the old lady's instructions.
But people's hearts are so mean, Ji Shu avoided him like a snake and a scorpion, which aroused his desire to conquer.
If Ji Shu was really playing hard to get, then she had succeeded.
It was still noon, so he turned around and walked towards his residence, "Tell the servants in the courtyard to pack up my things and move them to Changle Yuan."
After the people left, Ji Feifei walked out from behind the forest and murmured: "Ji Shu, I didn't expect you to do this trick, but I underestimated you!"
Isn't it just playing hard to get, assuming she doesn't know how to do it?
She was determined not to let Ji Shu succeed. Even if her brother-in-law moved to Changle Yuan, she would be the first to succeed!
The sun was setting and lanterns were hung on the porch. As soon as Ji Shu finished his dinner, a servant came to inform him.
"Young Madam! The chief attendant next to the second master asked you to clean out the study and come out, and also ordered you to decorate your upper room. The second master is moving back!"
Changle Yuan was formerly the couple's wedding room. After Qi Chengxu left, Ji Shu was too lazy to move so he continued to live there.
She raised her eyebrows and secretly wondered why Qi Chengxu was so crazy.
He waved his hand and sent the servants out without making it clear whether the arrangements were arranged or not.
The servant was wondering when he saw Qi Chengxu walking from the hall as soon as he went out.
"Young madam! The second master is here!"
Xitao was a little anxious, and her palms were wet as she held Ji Shu.
Ji Shu patted her shoulder calmly and walked out.
"Does Shu'er know everything? I made a hasty decision and didn't have time to discuss it with you. But Shu'er and I are husband and wife, so it's appropriate to move back."
He raised his eyebrows, as if he was waiting for Ji Shu to be moved to tears.
Ji Shu chuckled, "Indeed, the courtyard of Wudinghou Mansion belongs to the Qi family. The second master can live wherever he wants. I will make room for the second master."
"Xitao, pack your things and move them to the upper wing on the west side."
"yes!"
"Ji Shu! What do you mean!"
Qi Chengxu grabbed Xitao and looked at Ji Shu with gloomy eyes, "You and I are husband and wife, why can't I live in the same room with my wife?"
"Husband and wife? Can you and I be husband and wife?"
Why not!
Qi Chengxu opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly remembered what he had said before, and it suddenly felt like a lump in his throat.
His expression became even more difficult to look at, "If we can't be husband and wife, then we can't live in the same room?"
"Of course it won't affect the second master, but it would be too unappetizing for me to face my inhumane husband all day long."
"It's just that the second master doesn't hang out in front of me often. He always comes to me to remind me that I will only be a widow for the rest of my life and will not raise my own children. I'm afraid that one day I will be driven crazy and talk nonsense everywhere and lose myself. Second Master’s face.”
