In the twelfth lunar month, Zhihe Academy was on annual vacation. Qin Mingchun and Qin Mingqi returned to the Qin family. They first went to Mrs. Qin to express their filial piety and exchanged greetings before leaving.
Qin Mingchun went to Qin Liuxi's side courtyard, touched the small purse around his waist, and strode into the courtyard.
"You damn fox, don't run away and give me back the ginseng fruit."
As soon as Qin Mingchun stepped into the door, a fiery red shadow flashed quickly in front of his eyes, and something ran after him, and a strong smell passed into the tip of his nose.
Qin Mingchun was a little dazed. He looked over. Was it because he was dazzled?
It seemed like a ginseng stick ran past his feet just now, and there was a strong ginseng smell.
He must be dazzled. How can Ginseng run and talk?
Qin Mingchun tilted his head, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw Teng Zhao standing at the door. He immediately walked over and coughed: "What is Xiao Zhao doing standing here? Where is my eldest sister?"
With such an old-fashioned tone, he really thought he was his junior uncle!
Teng Zhao bowed his hands to him: "Master is in the house."
"Well." Qin Mingchun untied his purse, took out a small dime of silver and handed it to him: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, my uncle will give you pocket money."
Teng Zhao: "?"
He looked down at the small dime of silver. It probably only weighed two cents. He didn't know how he got it.
"Where did you get the money?" Teng Zhao was a little confused: "If it's monthly money, you can keep it for yourself at the school."
"It's not monthly money, this is what I earned in the academy." Qin Mingchun said proudly: "I helped Mr. do the accounting, and he rewarded me for it."
Teng Zhao frowned: "Why do we need to do accounting in the academy? All students do it, or are you the only one?"
"Of course it's because I'm fast and good at math, that's why my husband asked me to help. Others are not as fast and accurate as me, so they can't do it even if they want to." Qin Mingchun looked like I was great.
Teng Zhao said: "Since you earned it yourself, you should keep it."
He pushed the silver back, and Qin Mingchun pushed it back again, saying: "Take it, I don't dare to refuse the gift from the elders. As a junior uncle, what's the point of giving you a little pocket money? I'm not poor!"
Teng Zhao lowered his eyes, covering up the smile that flashed across his eyes, and said, "Thank you, junior uncle."
"Yeah." Qin Mingchun was satisfied.
"What are you talking about there?" Qin Liuxi opened the window and looked over: "Qin Xiaowu, when did you come back?"
Qin Mingchun immediately ran over and bowed respectfully: "Sister."
"Come in and talk, it's not too cold outside." Qin Liuxi slammed the window.
Qin Mingchun walked in and saw Wangchuan crouching on the desk writing and drawing, mumbling words, so he pretended to look over, took out a dime of silver from his purse, and said the same thing to reward her.
Wangchuan won the reward and rolled his eyes with a smile. It was so good to have a little uncle in one mouthful. It was so sweet that Qin Mingchun almost jumped up.
Seeing this, Qin Liuxi also asked what Teng Zhaowen had said, but Qin Mingchun had to explain it again.
"By the way, before I came back today, the mountain leader called me over and asked me to offer tea and kowtow to call him the teacher. Sister, can it be that my time in the school has come to an end? Is it okay to kowtow like this?
Just treat it like a farewell and you won’t be able to go back next year?”
Qin Liuxi was a little surprised and sneered: "You are stupid and you don't know yet. You kowtow and serve tea and call me teacher. Who told you that this is a resignation ceremony? This is a apprenticeship ceremony!"
"Ah?" Qin Mingchun's eyes widened and he pointed at himself: "I am going to become a disciple and become the head of Tangshan Mountain?"
"You've already offered tea and kowtowed. Why, don't you want to admit it?"
"That's not right, eldest sister, I have stupid qualifications. How could Chief Tangshan let me become his disciple without fearing that I would ruin his reputation?" Qin Mingchun was very puzzled and thought treacherously that Chief Tangshan might have had his brain trapped in the door.
Already?
Qin Liuxi thought about the big tickets that he had been forcibly donated, and gritted his teeth and said: "With your qualifications, you can become the student of Tangshan Principal. Of course, you bought it with money."
It's still her money.
"I'm warning you, Qin Xiaowu, you're just so lucky to have a big sister like me to help you build bridges and pave the way for you, and to have a famous teacher like Tang Shanchang. If you can't read me,
I'll beat you to death!" It's not enough to blind her with a few big votes.
Qin Mingchun trembled: "I can change..." His words changed decisively under Qin Liuxi's death glare: "I will definitely study hard."
Qin Liuxi snorted.
Teng Zhaodao: "If you have stupid qualifications, you can only make up for it the day after tomorrow through hard work. Diligence can make up for stupidity."
Qin Mingchun's beautiful face wrinkled into a ball, and he said without confidence: "What if I am that piece of rotten wood?"
"If you are really a rotten wood, you can only be like that charcoal, and you have to exert some residual heat!" Qin Liuxi pointed at the silver frost charcoal placed beside the charcoal basin and sneered sadly.
Qin Mingchun glanced at the black coals and trembled. They were going to burn him!
The eldest sister is really scary.
"Small ginseng is really stingy, a small fruit, chasing me through nine streets, what's the point?" Feng You jumped in, and transformed as soon as he entered the door.
Qin Mingchun saw a red dog: "Wow, what a beautiful dog... human?"
He watched helplessly as Feng Tong transformed from a dog (fox) into a human being. He was so frightened that he was stunned and fell straight back.
Teng Zhao quickly caught it and looked at Feng You with a frown: "Great demon, are there any strangers here?" He didn't hold back.
Feng Tong said: "I know, but his blood is the same as your master's. What's there to be afraid of? I'll cast an illusion on him and erase this memory."
He said and walked forward, about to take action.
"No need." Qin Liuxi woke up Qin Mingchun.
When Qin Mingchun saw her, he shouted excitedly: "Sister, I just had a dream. I dreamed that a big dog with nine tails turned into a human!"
Feng Tong was furious and approached him: "Are you blind? You are a fox, not a dog?"
Qin Mingchun blinked: "You are just like the person in the dream."
Feng Tong was still worried about the dog and the fox, and wanted to change back to his original form, but Qin Liuxi pushed him away with a palm.
"You are indeed dreaming, it's not real." Qin Liuxi explained perfunctorily.
Qin Mingchun looked at her and then at Feng Tong. The man who was more beautiful than him was standing in front of him and raising his fist at him. Is this a dream?
He pinched his thigh and said timidly: "Sister, it hurts when I pinch my leg."
It hurts, how could it be a dream?
"I said yes!" Qin Liuxi glared at him: "You are a scholar, you are a scholar, you are not a dreamer, did you really see animals becoming spirits? What kind of talk is this!"
Just as Qin Mingchun was about to say something, he saw a ginseng with neat leaves and beards and tails on the window sill. It jumped into the pottery pot placed on the window sill and cried out: "Thousand-year-old vixen, he is not human."
,Ugh, all my ginseng fruits are gone!”
Qin Mingchun opened his mouth and looked at Qin Liuxi with a complicated expression. The corners of his mouth were raised diagonally. Dreaming?
