Under the bright candlelight, Xie Mingxi's face was softer and more charming than ever before.
Sheng Hong was stunned for a moment, then he leaned over with a smile on his face and kissed her hard on the lips. Then he whispered a few words in her ear.
Xie Mingxi's cheeks were slightly red, but she didn't refuse. She just rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Sheng Hong was so excited that he immediately reached out to untie his clothes, revealing his bare and strong chest.
Perhaps it was because it was too hot in the room, but Xie Mingxi felt that her whole body was quietly getting hot, and she could not look away from his chest for a moment.
Sheng Hong grinned and was about to tease again, but there was a knock on the door: "To report to the Princess, the little princess is crying and refusing to fall asleep, and is looking for the Princess."
A Luo's delicate cry sounded outside the door, and she was indeed shouting: "Mother! Mother!"
With just one sentence, the charming atmosphere in the room immediately disappeared.
Xie Mingxi hurriedly pushed Sheng Hong away.
Sheng Hong quickly put his clothes back on, opened the door quickly, and hugged A Luo in with great distress. Xie Mingxi took her daughter from his hands and coaxed her softly: "A Luo, be good, don't cry. Mom is here.
Woolen cloth!"
"Dad is here too." Sheng Hong leaned over and coaxed his daughter softly: "Don't be afraid, A Luo."
A Luo sobbed, reaching out to hold Xie Mingxi's hand tightly, and kept calling her mother.
Seeing Ah Luo like this, Sheng Hong felt distressed and anxious: "What's wrong with her? Why does she keep crying?"
It's fun to watch other people's children cry, but when it's my turn, it feels like my heart has been pinched, not to mention how distressed it is.
Xie Mingxi was also very distressed and hurriedly patted A'luo on the back to comfort her. She said with a helpless smile: "In the past, I usually took A'luo to sleep. Now that she is getting older, I let the nanny take her. She
He can’t say it with his mouth, but he understands it very well in his heart. He often cries.”
Sheng Hong immediately said: "In that case, we will take her to sleep together from now on."
Xie Mingxi glanced at him: "You come back late every day, and if there is any movement, you will disturb A Luo to sleep."
This is true.
Sheng Hong loved his daughter so much that he quickly came up with a solution: "If I come back too late in the future, I will go to the study to sleep."
That's all it has to be.
The couple can talk whenever they want. They should take care of A Luo first.
…
Early the next morning, Sheng Hong and Mr. Lian went to the military camp together.
After Xie Mingxi and Lin Weiwei packed up, they followed Mr. Gu to Gu's Academy.
Xie Mingxi had been to the academy several times and was quite familiar with the environment there. After entering the academy, she walked into the school building with a familiarity.
The school building is spacious and clean, with more than 20 neat desks. More than 20 girls are sitting at the desks. The youngest is eight years old, and the eldest is only eleven or twelve years old.
These girls all come from ordinary backgrounds, neither rich officials nor charming ladies. Their clothes are quite neat, and occasionally they are patched. There are some girls who are delicate and outstanding in appearance, and there are girls who are mediocre in appearance, and there is one girl,
Her skin color is slightly darker and there are some pockmarks on her face.
In the old days of Lotus Pond Academy, every lady from a well-known family was well-educated and intelligent.
These girls in front of me are naturally far inferior.
However, the joyful longing shining in their eyes and the sincere closeness, love and respect for the Master are also different from the students of Lianchi Academy.
"Student has seen the Master!" The headmaster was the girl with the pockmark on her face, and her voice was particularly loud.
All the girls stood up together and shouted together: "Student has seen the Master!"
"Everyone, please sit down!" Xie Mingxi has always shown no emotion or anger, but at this time, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and a gentle smile flashed in her eyes: "My surname is Xie, you can just call me Mr. Xie."
The girl with the pockmark on her face boldly asked: "I heard that the Master who came to teach us today is the Princess of Shu. Is Master Xie the Princess of Shu?"
Xie Mingxi nodded slightly: "Exactly. However, in the academy, you can just call me Master Xie." Then, he asked with a smile: "Are you the principal of this school?"
The girl puffed up her thin breasts proudly: "That's right. My surname is Lu, and my name is Da Niu."
Danniu Lu...
Xie Mingxi twitched the corner of her mouth, suppressed the harsh words on her lips, and said instead: "It's okay for your parents to call you this. When you come to the academy, it's better to have a formal maiden name."
Lu Da Niu was a smart child, and she immediately looked over with eager and enthusiastic eyes: "Master Xie, please give me a name!"
Xie Mingxi: "..."
This Big Girl Lu is really courageous. The other girls were like quails, sitting there obediently. She was the only one who dared to say anything, and even dared to ask her to give her a name!
A smile flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes. After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth and said, "You are very articulate and clever. I will give you a name, Hui Ru."
Huiru, Lu Huiru!
Lu Da Niu's eyes suddenly lit up, she raised her hands and said loudly: "Thank you, Master, for the name!"
With Lu Da Niu's success as a precedent, several other girls also stood up: "Master, please give me a name too! My nickname is Erya, and I really can't pronounce it in the academy."
"My name is Zhaodi, and my parents hope to give me a younger brother as soon as possible. I don't like this name at all. Please give me a name from the Master! After I go back, I will tell my parents that this is the name given to me by the Master.
name. Then they won’t hit me.”
Xie Mingxi: "..."
…
Mr. Xie, who prides himself on being cold-hearted and as hard as iron, was soft-hearted again and again today. Before the formal class started, he first named each of the seven or eight girls in the school.
The content of the class is also extremely simple. The students are taught to read the Thousand-Character Essay once, and then the students are taught how to hold a pen and practice calligraphy.
Half a day later, Xie Mingxi and Lin Weiwei returned to the Shu Palace together.
Sitting on the carriage, Lin Wei smiled and sighed: "When I was in the capital in the past, I never felt that my life was so good. Today, when I met this group of girls from ordinary people's homes, I realized how lucky we are."
Lin Weiwei comes from a well-known family and has good food and clothing. She has been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. The biggest worry is that "my father always praises other people's daughters in front of me", or that she wants to buy a few new clothes.
Jewelry and the like.
And for these girls who come from ordinary people, even the opportunity to study and become literate is so precious. Some people are willing to send their daughters to academies because of "free education and a lunch provided."
When Lin Weiwei first heard about this, she thought it was ridiculous. After asking about it carefully later, she realized that most of the girls in the school came here because of this.
"Sister Xie, do you know that most girls are sent to the academy because their families want to save a lunch?" Lin Weiwei asked.
