Rong Guang led Yang Sichen to the Emerald Wave Courtyard. Before they entered the Emerald Wave Courtyard, Granny Zhao greeted them and bowed to Yang Sichen.
Granny Zhao looked to be 31 or 32 years old, and she had a shrewd look on her face. She was originally Yang Sichen's mother's dowry maid, but after Yang Sichen's mother made the decision, she married into the Yang Residence. For this reason, the servants in the residence said that the son had been blessed for several lifetimes. After marrying the person beside the Furen, his future would definitely be good. Ever since Yang Sichen had moved to the Greenwave Courtyard, she had been sent by Yang Sichen's mother to be the housekeeper.
When he returned to the Jade Wave Courtyard, the two servant girls had already prepared the meal. A bowl of lean meat congee, three small steamers of crab roe soup dumplings, and a small plate of pickled vegetables. The delicacies were placed on half the table.
Yang Sichen sat down, and Granny Zhao hurriedly stood behind him to serve him. Yang Sichen frowned and waved his hand to dismiss Granny Zhao and the two servant girls. Then, he instructed Rongguang to bring him a pair of chopsticks to eat with him.
Rongguang nodded and went down to get the cutlery. Then, he sat down and ate with Yang Sichen. It seemed that the two of them had been eating at the same table for some time.
Rong Guang was a child born in the family, and was one and a half years older than Yang Sichen. Because his parents passed away early, he had been Yang Sichen's servant since he was seven years old. Because he had practiced a few moves with Xia Zhong when he was young, he became Yang Sichen's martial arts sparring partner (to put it bluntly, he was a "human sandbag"). When Yang Sichen was eight years old, he became Yang Sichen's study partner.
Ever since Yang Sichen started drinking talisman water, Old Master Yang had stopped Yang Sichen's private school. The reason was naturally for the sake of a peaceful trial. After the trial ended, Old Master Yang had wanted to invite a new teacher for Yang Sichen, but Yang Sichen had rejected him on the grounds that he needed to recuperate. What a joke, Yang Sichen knew nothing about traditional Chinese characters. If Sir came, wouldn't he be killed?
After resting for fifteen minutes after breakfast, Yang Sichen went to the study to practice his calligraphy. In his previous life, Yang Sichen had copied a lot of copybooks in order to find a job. His regular script was enviable. After coming to this era, he thought that his calligraphy was not bad, but when he showed it to Old Master Yang, Old Master Yang only gave him a " proper " evaluation and arranged for Yang Sichen to practice ten strokes of calligraphy every day. There were at least eighty words in each post.
For this reason, Yang Sichen had no choice but to arrange for two hours a day to practice his calligraphy. After five months, although Yang Sichen's calligraphy did not improve much, Old Master Yang was still satisfied. After all, in Old Master Yang's opinion, it was already not bad for a twelve or thirteen-year-old child to write such words.
Yang Sichen finished his calligraphy practice. After Rongguang finished packing up the copybooks, he started reading. This ancient book was incomplete in terms of punctuations, and it was written in traditional Chinese characters, so it was quite difficult to read. When Yang Sichen first arrived, he had a headache when he saw the traditional Chinese characters. He could not recognize eight out of ten characters, and he could barely understand the books. He felt as if he had suddenly become illiterate. In the end, he found a book titled " 300 Tang Poems ". Relying on his memories from his previous life, he spent a month to recognize all 2,000 commonly used words. Thinking of this, Yang Sichen shook his head.
At noon, Granny Zhao came to invite Yang Sichen to the front hall for dinner. Two dishes, one soup, and a bowl of pearl rice. Granny Zhao sat at the side and served Yang Sichen some food. Yang Sichen glanced at Rongguang and nodded. Rongguang returned the greeting and did not stand on ceremony. He took a bowl and chopsticks and sat down to eat. Granny Zhao looked at Rongguang and shook her head helplessly.
After dinner, Yang Sichen rested for more than an hour before Xia Zhong came to teach Yang Sichen martial arts. Yang Sichen sighed as he changed his clothes. In his previous life, he had practiced military boxing in university. He had practiced Taiji with his mother for a few months at home, and he had specially learned Wing Chun for three months before graduation. He had thought that he was half an expert and could exchange a few moves with Xia Zhong. However, the first time he fought against Xia Zhong, Xia Zhong's first attack had hit his neck. What made him even more discouraged was that Xia Zhong had his hands behind his back. He only dodged, but Yang Sichen couldn't hit him.
Later on, Xia Zhong noticed Yang Sichen's strange behavior and gave him more advice. Only then did Yang Sichen regain the martial arts that he had learned before his soul transmigrated. However, he still could not gather his internal energy. Xia Zhong didn't think too much about it and just thought that he had not recovered from a serious illness.
Xia Zhong led Yang Sichen and Rong Guang into the courtyard and stood beside the two of them, letting them enter the horse stance. After a quarter of an hour, he let the two practice walking on the quincuncles. After an hour, the two of them were finally allowed to rest.
After a quarter of an hour, Xia Zhong walked to the opposite side of the two and posed for a fight. The two of them looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes. They knew that they would not be able to escape being abused today. Hence, the two of them pounced towards Xia Zhong at the same time…
After half a cup of tea's time, Xia Zhong walked out of the Blue Wave Courtyard in a sorry state. There was a faint smile on his face. As for Yang Sichen and his servant, they were panting heavily in the courtyard. Granny Zhao watched from the side with a pained expression, shaking her head and sighing…
Two hours later, Yang Sichen took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and started eating dinner. After dinner, Yang Sichen took a walk in the Jade Wave Courtyard.
Before long, Granny Zhao washed Yang Sichen's feet and went to bed.
…………
Three days passed as usual. On the morning of the fourth day, after Yang Sichen finished his breakfast, Xia Zhong came to the Blue Wave Courtyard and invited Yang Sichen to the Blue Sea Hall with a serious expression, saying that Old Master Yang had something to discuss with him. Yang Sichen didn't dare to delay any further and quickly let Rongguang help him change his clothes before following Xia Zhong to Canghai Hall.
Along the way, Xia Zhong kept nagging him about his cheapskate father. He told him how his cheapskate father was mature at a young age and how he had built a huge family business at a young age. In short, he praised Old Master Yang to the point that he was unprecedented.
As Yang Sichen listened on, he finally understood. It turned out that Old Master Yang wanted him to go out and gain experience.
When they entered the main hall of the Blue Sea Hall, they saw Old Master Yang sitting in the main seat, smoking a pipe and looking at Yang Sichen with a smile.
Yang Sichen hurried forward to pay his respects and said,""Grandfather!"
Yang Junrong put down his pipe and stood up, helping Yang Sichen up. He held Yang Sichen's hand with one hand and raised his other hand to pat Yang Sichen's head. He said with emotion,"Little Chen, you're almost as tall as me.”
"In my heart, Grandfather will always be the greatest." Yang Sichen replied.”
Old Master Yang couldn't help but laugh,"Little Chen, you really know how to suck up to your grandfather.”
Yang Sichen smiled and looked at Old Master Yang without saying anything.
Old Master Yang returned to the main seat, picked up his pipe again and took a puff. He slowly exhaled the smoke and said,"Little Chen, you'll be 14 years old after the new year. It's time for you to learn how to manage. When your father was your age, he had already started his own business.”
Old Master Yang exhaled smoke and said,"There was a brown sugar workshop in your grandmother's dowry. After your grandmother passed away, she was adopted under your father's name, and the profits weren't very good. As you know, your father is not at home for many years and has no time to take care of it. Your grandfather is also old and has no energy to take care of it, so it has been left like this. Now, your father has agreed to let you manage the brown sugar factory. The money earned will be your private money.”
Yang Sichen frowned after hearing that. In the end, he nodded and said,""Grandson will listen to grandfather's arrangements and go back to prepare.”
