Captain Chen is a good master. In addition to the affairs of the government, he also teaches other things. The couple of the first wife of the Gu family did not teach Gu Yun the ways of the world, but Captain Chen taught him everything.

As for Gu Yun's going to the Luo family to learn martial arts, Captain Chen even agreed with him.

"You are still young. Learn more so that you can have a wider road in the future. Your second uncle is a capable person. Who knows, he may find a way for you to reach the sky." Captain Chen said so.

Gu Yun didn't know anything, but he was willing to listen to others' advice. He was serious when learning martial arts in the Luo family, and he forced himself to learn reading and calligraphy, which he didn't like, and even took the initiative to take care of Gu Zhao.

Gu Yan, the eldest brother, didn't need to invest too much energy in Gu Zhao, so he devoted himself to studying.

Although the Luo family invited a juren to sit in the school, the juren master was aloof and not willing to teach everyone. Among the several people in the Gu family, only Gu Yan caught his eye, so he only taught Luo Zhang and Gu Yan.

The others were all at the level of children in the kindergarten, and were taught by another old scholar.

The old scholar was pedantic. If it weren't for the money, he would never teach girls. When it came to the real class, the old scholar also preferred a few boys. He didn't make it difficult for Niuniu, but just ignored her most of the time.

If it were Gu Zhao, without the teacher's supervision, she would have slacked off in her studies.

Niuniu came to Luo's house to study with her parents' great expectations. She didn't get discouraged when she asked the teacher for help but he ignored her. She turned to ask her brother.

The scholar taught in another place, and Niuniu and Luo Zhang became more and more familiar with each other as they interacted more.

"Niuniu, you have accumulated a lot of questions every time you come back. Doesn't your teacher help you solve your doubts? I wonder if you want to see your brother more often." Luo Zhang said with a smile.

When they first met, Luo Zhang was still a little boy who spoke very aggressively. After being saved, Luo Zhang's mentality changed quickly, and now the two of them are more like serious friends.

"The teacher won't teach." Niu Niu told the truth.

Luo Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Why won't the teacher teach? Mr. Zhang is well-educated, why won't he teach?"

Because except for Niu Niu, no one else in the small classroom had so many questions. Niu Niu still thought that the teacher didn't like to answer questions, and didn't know that the teacher didn't like her.

"The teacher seems to like quietness and doesn't like to be disturbed." Niu Niu said casually.

Luo Zhang frowned slightly.

Gu Yan remembered his identity. After all, their family came to the Luo family's annex, not the host and the guest. He said to his sister in a gentle tone: "Niu Niu, if there is anything you don't understand, just come and ask me. While I am solving Niu Niu's doubts, I can also review the old and learn new things."

Luo Zhang also said: "You can also ask me. You are so studious that you may surpass me in a few days."

As the only grandson of the Luo family, Luo Zhang was loved by Mr. Luo like an eyeball, but he did not develop a dandy appearance of extravagance and debauchery. Instead, he showed his talent for reading early.

"Brother Luo Zhang, you are only seven years old and you are going to take the exam for Tongsheng. It will probably take me a long time to surpass you." Niu Niu said naively.

In ten days or so, Luo Zhang and Gu Yan will have their first imperial examination. They will take the county exam. If they pass, they will go to the prefectural city to take the prefectural exam. Only after passing the prefectural exam can they become Tongsheng.

Luo Zhang said: "Good Niu Niu, you actually want to surpass me!"

Niu Niu didn't think there was anything wrong, and no one taught her to be humble. Instead, she said: "Daddy hopes that I will be a talented woman, so of course I want to be more than you!"

Luo Zhang didn't know whether to say that Niu Niu looked up to him or that Niu Niu looked down on him.

If she looked up to him, she didn't seem to think it was difficult to surpass herself.

If she looked down on him, Niu Niu took him as a goal to strive for.

"If you really want to surpass me, you'd better wait another hundred or eighty years." Luo Zhang was a child after all, and was provoked by Niu Niu to talk big.

Niu Niu was still not defeated by any words, but said: "Okay, I will try to live to be a hundred years old."

Luo Zhang couldn't help laughing and said: "You really don't want to suffer any loss."

Niu Niu smiled lightly and said: "My mother taught me to say auspicious words, so that people can be happy."

Niu Niu's special physique, Gu Mingda and his wife are also afraid that she will say something unlucky one day and cause backlash, so they repeatedly warned Niu Niu not to make wishes casually or speak negatively.

Luo Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder everyone likes you, my grandfather likes to talk about you every day, hoping that Aunt Fang in Beijing will give birth to a little granddaughter like you."

The Luo family has few descendants, and it is reasonable to hope that there will be more boys, but during this period, Mr. Luo is looking forward to girls.

When the Luo family learned about this, some people were tempted to send their own girls to be with them, but they were all rejected by Mr. Luo.

As they were talking, it was time for dinner.

Although the children of the Gu family studied here, they usually did not eat here, but were brought to them by Old Lady Gu.

But because Mr. Luo had specifically mentioned yesterday that he wanted to save some food for today, Old Lady Gu did not bring any food.

However, the Gu family was of ordinary status, and there were quite a few people in the Luo family who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak. They took advantage of the children's young age and were thin-skinned, so they could not help but say some unpleasant things.

Before Mr. Luo finished reading a page of the book in the room, the food in the flower hall had already been placed on the table.

Gu Zhao looked at the exquisite dishes and couldn't help drooling. He nudged Niuniu with his arm and said, "I made ginger biscuits today. This is your favorite!"

Niuniu immediately looked expectant and said, "Grandpa Luo is so nice. I only mentioned it to him once and he remembered it!"

Gu Zhao also nodded vigorously and said, "There is also roast goose that I like!"

Fang Yuan said innocently, "Hehe, there is also pork elbow. I love it!"

Grandpa Luo is thoughtful. Although he is entertaining a group of young guests, he remembers everyone's preferences. Now the servants are still adding dishes to the table. Several older children have big appetites, so there is no need to worry about waste.

"It's okay to just take advantage of the books, but now they even take advantage of a bite of food. They are really a group of starving ghosts reincarnated."

The person who said this was not someone else, but Luo Zhang's wet nurse Wang. When she said this, her harsh eyes that seemed to have a cold touch swept over all the children except Luo Zhang.

Fang Yuan, who was staying in Luo's house, had a dark look in his eyes and lowered his head.

Luo Zhang turned his head and looked at his nanny disapprovingly.

Niuniu had heard a lot of such cold words when she was in Zhang's house.

But she is now the daughter of Gu's family. Gu's parents have repeatedly emphasized to her that if she encounters any problems, she must speak out.

Niuniu jumped in front of the nanny and asked, "Mother Wang, do you think I am the reincarnation of a starving ghost?"

First update.

This book does not abuse the protagonist. Whoever suffers, Niuniu will not suffer. Those who bully her will be in trouble on the spot.
