The two little annoying spirits were barely encouraged. They took the pendant and promised to study hard and never slack off.

As for how effective it will be, Gong Mengbi can't guarantee it.

There are still many things that these two precious lives have to go through. It doesn't matter whether they are studying or not, what is important is to live well.

Gong Mengbi couldn't see clearly which path they would take or how far they could go.

Ask for more blessings, ask for more blessings.

Gong Mengbi muttered this, and finally sighed.

Although Annoying Spirit is annoying, it was Gong Mengbi who grew up watching him. Although he has some expectations for his life, he is more worried.

I want them to grow up quickly and not be afraid of wind and rain. They are also afraid that they will grow up too fast and lose their innocence.

While waiting for Shen Shan to take the two brats out and take a boat to Yuhang, Gong Mengbi didn't see them off any more.

I can't bear it.

The yellow-bellied tit said under the eaves: "So you were waiting for these two brats."

Gong Mengbi said: "That's not entirely true. I'm going to ask a teacher to send these two brats away, so I can go see him."

The yellow-bellied tit fell on Gong Mengbi's shoulder: "Do you still want to ask the teacher?"

Gong Mengbi said: "It's not for me, it's for other foxes. I am now working as an errand in the Tianhu Academy. I have a small position and am in charge of the affairs of the foxes in Wuning County. I think it is not easy for foxes to practice, so I plan to build a fox academy." Zixue, please invite some gentlemen with real materials to give lectures to the fox."

The yellow-bellied tit said: "It's interesting to give lectures to foxes."

Gong Mengbi said: "But Huzi School has not been started yet. There is no school, no teachers, and no students. It is not easy to open Huzi School within three months."

The yellow-bellied tit said: "Then you have to hurry up. If there is anything I can do to help, you can ask me to help."

"If you didn't tell me, I would ask you for help." Gong Mengbi said with a smile.

While talking and laughing, they arrived at Ning Caichen's house.

Ning Caichen's family was relatively large, and it was the property left by his father, but his family was in decline and it was difficult to survive. There is only one mother in his family, but she does not seem to be in good health.

Gong Mengbi had seen it outside and had an idea.

The yellow-bellied tit asked: "Aren't you going to go in and invite sir?"

Gong Mengbi said: "He is not at home. At the moment, he should be copying books for the Liu family, a wealthy family in the county."

The yellow-bellied tit added: "He is a scholar. If you ask him to give lectures to the fox, won't it scare him?"

Gong Mengbi said: "So we need to give him a try."

It's getting late.

Ning Caichen was about to say goodbye, but the housekeeper of the Liu family saw that he had almost copied the book and that the master seemed to appreciate him, so he kept him for one night.

One is to finish copying the book, and the other is to provide him with a good meal and drink.

Ning Caichen looked at the scriptures that were about to be finished, thought about it and agreed, but said that he would go back and tell his mother so as not to worry her.

Liu Jiaguan said: "I'll just ask someone to make a trip to save you the trouble of going back and forth."

Ning Caichen thanked him.

The old lady of the Liu family believed in Buddhism and Taoism. The three volumes of scripture copied by Ning Caichen were borrowed by the old lady Liu from Huaguang Temple. In order to study regularly, I had to ask a scholar who could write well to help me copy scriptures.

Mr. Liu heard from the Shen family that Ning Caichen was a scholar proficient in pen and ink, so he invited him to copy scriptures.

When Ning Caichen needed money, he would not refuse it.

After dinner, Ning Caichen continued to copy the scriptures verbatim.

The candlelight flickered, illuminating the study room with light.

Ning Caichen was a little envious. When he was young, his family could afford to light lamps like this. But after his father passed away, he lost his livelihood and could only light a small oil lamp when he read at night.

It hurts and irritates my eyes, but there is nothing I can do.

He shook his head slightly, feeling that his thoughts had wandered a little, and he refocused on the scripture in front of him.

It was at this time that Ning Caichen heard someone knocking on the door.

He opened the door and saw a rather beautiful woman holding a food box in her hand.

Ning Caichen asked doubtfully: "Girl, who are you?"

The woman said: "I am a maid in the mansion. It's still a little cold at night, so I came to bring the young master a bowl of soup to warm him up."

Ning Caichen suddenly realized, "Thank you very much, girl."

He reached out to take the food box, but the woman avoided him.

The woman looked at it and smiled, her eyebrows were springy, her mouth was affectionate, and she was very charming.

She walked in head-on, and Ning Caichen had no choice but to get out of the way.

When passing by Ning Caichen, Ning Caichen smelled a light aroma.

The woman put the food box away, but did not put the soup bowl on the table. Instead, she held it in her hand and handed it to Ning Caichen, saying, "Young Master, please have some soup."

Ning Caichen was quite at a loss and carefully took the soup bowl, only to feel the woman's soft hand brushing against his.

"Girl, just put the food box here and come back to pick it up tomorrow." Ning Caichen said.

The woman said: "That's not okay. I want to take away the food box. You can just drink the soup."

Ning Caichen sat on the stool and drank the soup in a hurry. He only tasted that it was a bowl of chicken soup, and his mouth hurt from being burned.

He put the soup bowl in the food box and said, "Thank you, girl. Please give me your treat."

The woman did not leave, but closed the door and looked at him with a smile: "Why are you drinking so fast?"

She walked forward and Ning Caichen stepped back.

"Girl, men and women are not intimate," Ning Caichen said.

The woman said: "I don't care, you have nothing to be afraid of."

Seeing that she was about to come up to him, Ning Caichen quickly dodged away: "You're not a maid, are you? I've never seen such an unruly maid."

The woman snorted softly, her waist slim, and said: "You are smart, I am indeed not a maid, I am a concubine of the Liu family."

Ning Caichen's face turned even darker: "Since you are Mr. Liu's concubine, how dare you come into my foreign husband's room?"

The woman said: "What are you afraid of? Old man Liu is old and no longer useful. I have always admired scholars, especially handsome scholars like you. Don't be afraid, no one will know."

Ning Caichen's chest heaved, and he suppressed his anger and said, "Please respect yourself."

The woman's face didn't look good either: "If you can't see a beauty like me, what else can you see?"

Ning Caichen said: "Anyway, it's not like you don't love yourself."

The woman laughed angrily, even though she smiled angrily, with a blush on her face. She was very beautiful: "He is an old cow eating young grass but it is useless. How can he blame me for not loving myself?"

She said softly and gently: "I still have some property. If you stay with me, you can spend my money. When the man named Liu gets older, we can also find a way to seize his property. Isn't it better than you studying to death?" Books are useful.”

Ning Caichen opened the door and said, "Shameless and vicious-hearted, I despise a woman like you. Get out and don't delay me copying scriptures."

The woman was so angry that she burst into tears and said, "Are you still a man?"

Ning Caichen stayed away from her: "Get out."

The woman stamped her feet, picked up the food box and left. She turned around and cursed: "Poor scholar, you deserve to suffer for the rest of your life."

Ning Caichen closed the door, leaned against it, and punched the door hard.
