"Oh, that's it. Thank you, Mr. Song, for clearing up the confusion!" After hearing this, Xiao Shisan bowed to Mr. Song sincerely.
Mr. Song returned the favor with a smile: "Thirteen, don't be polite. Although I am good at writing, it is because I am older and have read a lot. But you are naturally smart. It won't be long before you surpass me. When the time comes, I will
I still want to ask you a question."
"Ah? Don't dare, don't dare!" Xiao Shisan shook his head shyly, his fingers almost pinching into the book.
Is he born smart? Thirteen himself doesn’t think so!
Thinking back to the beginning, before being adopted by Lord Marquis, he was just a poor, helpless child, and he didn't even know if he could live safely until he grew up.
It wasn't until that day that I met him, the Marquis who was not much older than him, that Shisan's life took a complete turn.
I can have enough to eat and wear warm clothes every day, and no longer have to worry about whips and leather boots, nor do I have to worry about being sold to unknown places and living a miserable life!
On that day, Xiao Shisan almost thought he had arrived in heaven!
Maybe it’s because I’ve been through hell that it’s even rarer now.
Back then, Thirteen and others wanted to repay Xiao Han for giving him all this, but they found that with their abilities, they couldn't help much at all. They could only study hard, hoping that one day they could help the tall figure standing in front of them.
Unfortunately, later Xiao Da, Xiao Er and others were selected by Xiao Han one after another and became the confidants of the responsible party. On the contrary, the most valued Thirteen stayed in Zhuangzi.
At that time, Thirteen was almost desperate, thinking that he had been forgotten in a corner.
It wasn't until a letter came from Yangzhou that Shisan's heart became active again.
Be a sir? Then be a sir!
He believes that the Marquis will never do useless things, not before, and will never do anything in the future! He is not smart enough to see through the Marquis's plans, so just work hard to do what he arranges!
Things in the academy happened quietly and passed quietly. Mr. Song left with satisfaction, still holding the arithmetic book in his hand, which Xiao Shisan had just given to him.
Mr. Song was very satisfied with this young man who was talented and hard-working and also knew how to respect others. He didn't even notice the special smile on the corner of Thirteen's lips behind him.
"The so-called knowledge lies in the investigation of things. If we want to know things, we can only exhaust their principles. The soul of the human heart has knowledge, and everything in the world has its principles. However, the principles are not exhausted, so the knowledge is endless.
also."
This sentence was originally said by Xiao Han, but he didn't know it? When he looked at that line of words, what he was thinking all the time was, why didn't the Marquis also write the first two sentences?
(This passage was added to the university by Zhu Xi of the Ming Dynasty. Later generations know that Confucianism cultivates oneself, regulates the family, governs the country, and brings peace to the world! But few know that the original text is to study things, to gain knowledge, to be sincere, to be righteous, to cultivate oneself, to regulate the family, to govern the country, and to bring peace to the world.

Inside the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Han supported Xue Pan and walked slowly in the courtyard.
Xue Pan has been pregnant for more than seven months. Although Xiao Han has been helping her control her diet, her belly is still as bulging as a balloon.
Sometimes, when Xiao Han sees the blue blood vessels protruding from Xue Pan's belly, he feels worried that his belly will burst!
"You don't have to stay at home with me all the time. Just be busy if you have something to do." After slowly completing a circle, he returned to the pavilion and sat down. Xue Pan glanced at Xiao Han angrily and said.
Xiao Han stared intently at Xue Pan's belly and said, "Don't worry, I don't have anything to do now. The book printing workshop has begun to operate, and the academy is also running well. The goods produced by those workshops are in short supply. Your Majesty's fifty
Now that I have gathered all the money, I will take some time off and spend time with you two at home."
"Ah, you haven't given that money to His Majesty yet?" Xue Pan asked in surprise after hearing this.
"No, I still want to use this money to make our child rich!" Xiao Han said matter-of-factly.
"Wealthy?"
When Xue Pan heard this, he rolled his eyes at Xiao Han and said, "Our child will inherit your title in the future. This has already destined him to live a life of glory and wealth. What else do you want?"
Xiao Han shook his head and said with a smile: "But only a boy will inherit it, what if it's a daughter?"
"Bah, bah, bah, I must be pregnant with a boy! Several women have said that my belly must be a big fat boy!"
As soon as he heard Xiao Han mention his daughter, Xue Pan immediately acted like a crazy kitten. He hit Xiao Han several times with his pink fist and almost kicked him aside.
Xiao Han also knew what Xue Pan was thinking, so he held his head with both hands in cooperation and let out a series of exaggerated screams, causing Xiaodong and Lengzi over there to stretch their necks and look here.
As a result, when they saw that it was Mr. Hou who was being "beaten", they immediately retracted their heads as if they were seeing a ghost.
Don’t dare to see Mr. Hou’s jokes!
Since last time Jiasi accidentally laughed out loud when the Marquis was in trouble, and was sent to clean the toilet for half a month, when they saw this kind of situation again, each of them hid faster than the other.
After all, the Marquis’s petty nature has long been spread throughout the whole house!
Last time, the Mo family's son, because he was disliked by the Marquis, obediently handed over five thousand guan without saying anything, and was sent to grind Mo for a day, and his arm was almost broken...
Xiao Han in the pavilion naturally didn't know what Xiaodong and Lengzi were thinking. He was currently "playing" happily with his wife.
Perhaps some people, looking at his current behavior, think in their hearts that he is a "hep-controller".
But Xiao Han himself didn't think so.
If a husband and wife are just blindly chauvinistic and bossing around their wives, what's the difference between buying a maid? What fun is there in marriage?
Although it was the first time in his life that he had a child, Xiao Han still understood the simple truth that only an equal couple can have a harmonious marriage process.
Xiao Han screamed again and again. On the other side, although Xue Panqiao's face was still angry, her heart had already become happy.
In this day and age, the idea of favoring boys over girls is really not that common!
Coupled with the Xiao family, Xiao Han is now the only child! The whole family has placed their hopes on her, and no one knows how much pressure she is under.
Now that she hears Xiao Han talk about her daughter, her pressure has been relieved a lot unconsciously.
The powder fists falling on my body became lighter and lighter, and eventually, the force was not even as strong as a massage.
Xiao Han just felt strange in his heart, but then he heard Xue Pan suddenly said without confidence: "Xiao Han, do you like boys or girls?"
"Of course it's a girl!" Xiao Han answered firmly without hesitation.
When Xue Pan heard this, his brows were happy, and he breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Why? Don't everyone like boys? I heard from an old woman that there was a family who gave birth to three girls in succession, and the man got angry and killed all of them.
