Houfu Key Class

The mother and son were in harmony for a few breaths before seeing Zong Jincheng making faces at her.

If there weren't so many people present, Xu Wan would have wanted to make a face back at him and defeat the magic with magic.

But there were too many people, so she had to try to keep her idol image, and now she smiled more like a skin care product spokesperson than Baili Weihong.

Little Devil: "..." She was so fake.

After dinner, the old lady asked someone to bring two inkstones, saying that they were the most rare Duan inkstones, and gave one to Jincheng Wenxiu and one to each.

Cuizhi whispered in Xu Wan's ear: "The gold necklace just now only looks valuable, but in fact, the value of gold is less than a hundred taels. But these two inkstones are Duan inkstones produced in Duanzhou, and are the top of the four famous inkstones in our Great Chu. These two inkstones are made by famous masters, and each one is at least several thousand taels, which is more expensive than the jade pendants of the two young masters."

Xu Wan's pupils immediately enlarged to the effect of an eight-magnitude earthquake.

"Thousands of taels?"

No, those two black inkstones are not worth thousands of taels. Are they inlaid with gold?

Oh no, the gold is less than 100 taels.

Xu Wan sighed again, poverty limited her imagination, there are so many things in the world that are more expensive than gold...

Cuizhi nodded, and lowered her voice: "The price of these two inkstones is too expensive. The old lady deliberately did not mention their price, for fear that Master Cheng would sell them one day after knowing it."

Xu Wan swallowed her saliva and thought: I would sell them too.

I can also grind ink and write with two ordinary inkstones.

When Xu Wan looked over at the two children, her eyes were only on the two sky-high inkstones. She was puzzled by the outrageous price, and the two little kids who knew nothing were still confused.

Especially when Zong Jincheng picked up the inkstone with one hand and casually turned it over to look at the inscription on the back, the precious thing was shaking and about to fall off, and Xu Wan was so scared that her heart almost stopped.

My little ancestor, if this thing breaks, she will be so heartbroken that she can't sleep for several days!

"Cui Liu, go and collect all the inkstones and put them in the big study." Xu Wan couldn't help it, "Let them wait until they write to see them."

"Yes." Cui Liu was steady, took the inkstone in one hand, and took it away steadily.

Xu Wan's heart was finally put down. She thought that she would have to stick the two inkstones to the table with fish glue in the future, so that Zong Jincheng, the little bastard, would not put his feet on the table again and kick thousands of taels to death.

Without the dangerous items here, Xu Wan calmed down and listened to them. The old lady first pulled Wen Xiu to say a lot of intimate words, her eyes were full of guilt and heartache.

Wenxiu knew what his grandmother was thinking and understood her feelings, so he said very nicely that he was very happy to study with his aunt and asked her not to worry.

The old lady was so moved that tears flashed in her eyes and she praised him for being so sensible.

As for Zong Jincheng.

The old lady looked at him, as if she was sighing at his rapid changes in the past few months, and she was trying not to spoil him. She just said as if she was leaving: "Jincheng, you must study hard, listen to your mother, and grow up to be an upright and responsible child. Don't go astray..."

The little devil was just happy to have two babies. After hearing this, he smiled and said: "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely become a famous talent in the capital, and then you and grandpa will be proud!"

As for listening to Xu Wan's words...

He pretended not to hear what his grandmother said.

It's good that they didn't fight. Who would listen to that bad woman.

"Okay, okay..."

After the birthday banquet, Zong Jincheng and Zong Wenxiu went out to play.

There were only a few elders left at home, and Xu Wan discovered that the old couple had packed their bags. She was surprised and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, why are you leaving so soon? Don't you want to stay a few more days?"

The old lady stepped forward and patted her hand and said, "Wan'er, I feel relieved that you are looking after this family. Your father-in-law and I will not stay here for long. Jincheng is getting more and more spoiled. We can't stand it. If we stay for a long time, we are afraid that you will delay your education of the child."

Xu Wan laughed and said, "You are really the most reasonable mother-in-law I have ever seen. It doesn't matter. It's okay for you to stay for two more days. I can take back the things I left for him in a few days."

Anyway, this kind of thing has been done before. She and Butler Liu have long been on the blacklist of the little devil.

The old lady smiled and shook her head and said, "No, we won't trouble you. As long as you teach the child well, it doesn't matter if we only come back once a year."

Xu Wan thought for a moment and said, "I will teach him good behavior as soon as possible and take you back home as soon as possible."

The old lady's eyes gradually turned red, and she responded, "Okay, okay, thank you. We don't really want him to be a talent, we just... just don't want him to go astray. This child is too smart. If he is not taught well, he will definitely... definitely get into trouble."

Xu Wan nodded and said, "I understand, I understand."

The old lady seemed to have set a goal for her to make the child top three, but in fact she wanted the child to correct his character in learning. The purpose of reading is not just to cope with exams, but to enable people to have more correct behavioral habits through education.

The old lady reached out and wiped her tears and said, "Then we will leave. If you need us, just write a letter. The pigeon you sent will not get lost when it arrives at our place."

Xu Wan laughed.

The old lady would still joke with her.

After seeing off the old couple, the red flowers in the courtyard were gradually removed, otherwise Xu Wan would always feel that the little devil was going to get married when she looked up.

This terrible scene.

There were many servants in the house, so the house was cleaned up quickly. Xu Wan sat on the recliner and closed her eyes to take a nap for a while. Two maids beside her waved fans to avoid the heat, and incense was lit on the table to drive away mosquitoes.

Xu Wan was drowsy, but she still asked out of habit: "Where did they go to play? On the street? Did housekeeper Liu give the ten taels of silver to Jincheng?"

Cuizhi replied: "Yes, Master Cheng now has money in his hands. He must be buying delicious and fun things everywhere now."

Spending money, everyone likes it.

"Well..." Xu Wan replied in a weaker voice, and it was about to enter the nap time.

But for some reason, a message suddenly flashed through her mind, so fast that she couldn't catch it. She quickly opened her eyes and said with clear eyes: "No, Jincheng is hiding something from us."

Last night, after the little devil asked her for silver but to no avail, he went to the old lady to ask for silver again. Although the result was also a failure, it was indeed too abnormal.

He was poor, why did he suddenly want one thousand taels of silver?
