There was still a month until the end of the year when the news of Song Yuyan's pregnancy would reach the capital. When Old Master Pei received Pei Yuan Shao's call, he was making tea in the courtyard alone. Old Master Pei held an old purple clay teapot and slowly poured water into the cup. He held the phone in one hand and was silent for a long time before saying,"Let's come back together for New Year's Eve dinner.”
Pei Yuan Shao revealed a rare joy as he thanked him repeatedly.
On the other hand, the Shi family became silent. Song Yuyan's pregnancy was naturally something to be happy about, but it inevitably made people think of the woman who had died young. Shi Yuting was the same as Shi Yanjie. She was a pain in the hearts of everyone in the Shi family.
Pei Yuan Shao also understood that it was very difficult for his elder brother to accept it all at once. After all, Song Yu Yan's current identity had once belonged to the Shi Family's only little princess. Moreover, he didn't forget that he had said that he would personally apologize to the Shi family on Yuting's memorial day next year.
Other than Qi Xiu Zhu's matter, there were other things that needed to be revealed.
Time passed quickly. The incident of the teacher leaking the questions at Shengjia University had attracted the attention of the school as Shi Yunshu had expected. However, the entire school did not investigate as he had expected. In the end, the teacher was fired in a hurry.
Shi Yunshu was very calm after knowing the results. As early as that day, An Chengxi had told him that whether it was for the school's reputation or to reduce unnecessary trouble, the school would not cause too much trouble.
At the end of the day, it was just that he was not important enough to influence the school's decision. If his father was the one who started this, perhaps the outcome would be different.
It was not a disappointment, but a realistic result.
Three days after Shi Yunshu's exams ended, he brought Pei Ruoqing back to the capital first. This year's New Year's Eve, several families would gather in the capital.
When she arrived in the capital, Pei Ruoqing's original mission remained unchanged. She added Saturday and Sunday to the Pei family's residence. Old Master Pei arranged some basic management courses and hired a professional tutor to teach them.
Of course, there was also the record of gains and losses set by An Chengxi. However, after writing for a few weeks, Shi Yihong did not express any opinions. This made Pei Ruoqing's slightly tensed heart relax slightly. At the same time, she felt a little inexplicably disappointed.
On the last Friday before New Year's Eve, after dinner, Pei Ruoqing went to Shi Yihong's study room with the record of her gains and losses for the week as usual.
The light brown cedar wood bookshelf emitted a faint fragrance, as if entering an ancient Buddhist temple, causing one's state of mind to suddenly calm down. Shi Yihong was dressed in light gray loungewear and looked quite similar to Shi Yunshu.
There was a knock on the door. He did not even look up." Come in."”
Pei Ruoqing carried the notebook that An Chengxi had specially picked out for him. She walked in front of him and held the notebook with both hands." This is the record of this week's gains and losses. Please take a look.”
Shi Yihong didn't take it. He looked at his little disciple inquisitively. She was Yuting's child. There were still some traces of that eccentric girl in his eyes.
He leaned back, crossed his long legs, and crossed his hands on his legs." Same as the previous few times?”
Pei Ruoqing did not understand what he meant and could only answer honestly," The content is different, but the format…is the same.”
Shi Yihong massaged his temples, feeling a headache coming on."…It's really elm wood!”As he spoke, he pulled open the drawer. In an instant, a small sandalwood ferule appeared in front of Pei Ruoqing.
Pei Ruoqing's eyebrows twitched as she looked at him in confusion.
"Hand." When the ferule struck down, his fingertips turned white, and his arm trembled violently. After ten hits, his palm turned red. It was also a rule to thank the teacher for his punishment. He bowed at Shi Yihong." Thank you for your lesson, Teacher."”
"No, thank yourself. Go over there and think about the reason for your punishment.”Shi Yihong said with a half-smile. Then, he calmly admired his little disciple's face that was slowly turning red.
Pei Ruoqing was speechless. As expected, this was the normal style of this person.
Pei Ruoqing couldn't control her expression for a moment. There was a hint of anger on her face as she turned around silently. Who knew that before she could stand firmly, Shi Yihong's voice that sounded like a curse rang out faintly," Fifteen minutes. If you can't think of the reason for your punishment, go find your brother. Tell him to bring the cane to me."”
" I…" Seemingly knowing what Pei Ruoqing was about to say, Shi Yihong interrupted her," He is in charge of your studies. The records of your senior brother's gains and losses are also included. He did not find any problems for more than half a month. Shouldn't he be responsible?"”
Pei Ruoqing did not say anything. In reality, Shi Yunshu did not really care about his record of gains and losses. He only mentioned to him that it would be fine if he followed the experience from the previous article.
He had indeed done so, and had spent a lot of time on it. He did not know what made Shi Yihong unhappy.
He thought carefully about what Shi Yihong had asked him after he entered the room. He had asked him if he was the same as the previous few times.
The same meaning was that…there was no improvement? He seemed to have understood what Shi Yihong was trying to tell him. He did not express any opinions the previous few times, and this attitude was enough to attract his attention. However, he did not think about the problem and continued to use the old method.
Shi Yunshu had once said that knowledge became more refined the more one worked. In fact, it was the same in this matter. Shi Yihong hoped that the things he wrote each time would be better than the previous one, or more condensed and profound, and not…the same.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly." Come here.”Shi Yihong's voice sounded from behind him. Fifteen minutes was not considered too long. Pei Ruoqing moved and stood in front of him.
"Have you thought of the reason?" Shi Yihong shifted his chair a little so that his eyes were level with his.
Pei Ruoqing paused for a moment before she slowly said," Are you trying to tell me that I have to think about everything? Every time I do something, I have to summarize the flaws from the previous foundation and make up for them.”
"As expected, you have to fight to be enlightened!”Shi Yihong's tone was relaxed and he did not hide his smile.
Pei Ruoqing's mouth twitched and she was speechless. For some reason, Shi Yihong gave him a strange feeling. It was not like the respect he had for his father, nor the fear he had for An Chengxi, nor the indulgence he had for Shi Yunshu. In front of him, he did not have any burdens and could easily indulge himself. Occasionally, he would reveal some small tempers.
Just like now, he was speechless, but he made the person in front of him laugh out loud. He felt that Shi Yihong simply regarded him as a junior. Although he had strict requirements, he would not put all the pressure on him.
A warm current seemed to flow into his heart, and a smile appeared in his eyes." Teacher, why don't you punish me a few more times so that I can open two more apertures?”
Shi Yihong took a deep look at him. How could he not understand what he was trying to convey tactfully? He sighed in his heart. This child was smarter than he had imagined, but it was still not enough. It was far from enough.
This was Pei Yuan Shao's first time returning to the Pei Family for the New Year after leaving home for more than ten years. This time, he brought his wife and children along.
Pei Yansong sat at the head of the table. His aura was restrained and he looked no different from an ordinary old man. He could not feel the iron-blooded hand of the former wind and frost sword.
Even someone like Song Yuyan, who had fought her way through the vanity fair, could not help but feel a little nervous at this moment. Even if Pei Yuan Shao consoled her, it was useless. This was…a textbook legend! He was a character that could only be seen in books and on Central TV's screen.
When she met Pei Yuan Shao, she did not know his family background. She came from the countryside and relied on her unwillingness to be mediocre to get to where she was now. She had never thought that the person she wanted to marry would have a high status.
She liked someone because of their character and ability, not their background. Therefore, when the two of them confirmed their relationship, they quickly got a marriage certificate. She did not care if he had a wife before. She had fallen in love with Pei Yuan Shao as a person, not for his identity. It was only after they had been married for more than a year that Pei Yuan Shao told her that he was from the Pei family in the capital.
Even someone as calm as her took a while to react. Under normal circumstances, she would not be able to enter such a family even if she was given a few hundred years. But now, she was actually sitting here, and she was the only mistress of the Pei family.
When Pei Yuan Shao brought his son to finish the Pei family's New Year's Eve dinner and then continued to rush to the Shi family, Shi Yihong did not say anything when he saw that he only brought Pei Ruoqing. He simply instructed them to eat and did not say anything else.
This was a rare reunion, and Shi Yihong was in a very good mood. His wife, children, disciples, and even his junior brother, who he had thought would never return, had returned. It was nothing more than a perfect reunion.
The New Year passed quickly and Pei Ruoqing had no choice but to follow Pei Yuanshao back to S City. In the past half a year, Shi Yunshu had been by his side to guide and accompany him. He was already used to Shi Yunshu's existence. Once that person left, he felt empty around him and his heart was empty. He felt very uncomfortable. The bright sunshine could not dispel the gloom in his heart.
When the second semester of junior high school started, Zhang Jun was replaced as expected. The new math teacher was a master's student who had just graduated from a famous university. As expected, Pei Ruoqing was taken care of again.
Pei Ruoqing's learning style was something that even Shi Yunshu could not criticize. In addition to Chu Junyi's dual identity as a form teacher and a teacher's sister-in-law, it was difficult for Pei Ruoqing's results to be bad in the past three years.
On the other hand, Shi Yihong had relatively higher expectations for Pei Ruoqing's studies. Since the new year, he had officially started to ask about Pei Ruoqing's studies. However, Pei Ruoqing was rarely punished because of his studies.
Occasionally, he would be scolded because he always stayed up late and forgot to eat because he was reading. This made Pei Ruoqing feel a little surprised and she no longer treated Shi Yihong as seriously as before.
Other than that, everything was calm and peaceful. Young Master Pei's junior high school life was also progressing smoothly.
In the second month of the new year, after Song Yuyan's pregnancy, Chu Junyi was diagnosed with pregnancy. The Shi and An families were in a joyous atmosphere. An Chengxi even personally sent Zhuang Yulin off work every day.
Song Yuyan also took maternity leave after the child was seven months old. Ten months later, a baby boy was successfully born.
In the hospital, Pei Yuan Shao held the newborn baby boy in one hand and the phone in the other. He looked extremely respectful and sincere." Brother, please give the child a name. It's a boy."”
At that moment, Shi Yihong was standing in front of the window of Yun Hua University's principal's office. The window was covered in snow and frost. The sunlight reflected white light, as if the moon was shining on a green pond. He pondered for a while and said," We are all excited and want to fly. We want to climb the sky and embrace the moon. Let's call you Pei Siyi."”
Three months later, in the same hospital, the next generation of the An family was finally born. Shi Yihong, who was far away in the capital, also wrote a line of words: Sui Garden Green Bamboo, Qi Lingpeng Lake Bottle, Ye River Zhu Hua, Illumination Linchuan Pen.
In the end, he decided on Ling Ze.
At this point, the name of the youngest generation of the Shi, Pei, and An families was confirmed-An Lingze.
Everything was developing in a good direction. Pei Yuan Shao's secret arrangements were progressing in an orderly manner. Even the unknown faction that had once followed Pei Ruoqing had disappeared.
Pei Ruoqing was still desperately absorbing all the knowledge she could. Under the influence of the people around him, his temperament slowly changed.
The dazzling golden sunlight swayed and mottled. Summer had just left, but it did not take away the scorching heat of the north. It was past nine o'clock in the morning, and the campus of Yun Hua University's affiliated high school was crowded with students who came to report, as well as parents who sent new students to report.
Pei Ruoqing followed the instructions on the board at the school gate and found the teaching building where the first-year students were-Bowang Building.
Pei Ruoqing stood downstairs and looked up. The three words " Long Sight Tower " appeared blurry under the reflection of the sunlight. Pei Ruoqing narrowed her eyes with a hint of a smile.
Bowang Tower was changed from Bowang Garden, which was once one of the 36 gardens of Shanglin Garden. It was said that it was set up by the crown prince to entertain guests in ancient times. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Shanglin Garden spanned five borders and spanned three hundred miles. There were many rivers flowing in and out of it. There are thirty-six gardens, twelve palaces and thirty-five temples, which are all-inclusive. According to Han Shu. It is recorded in the Old Ceremony that all kinds of animals are raised in the garden. In the spring and autumn, the emperor shoots and hunts in the garden and takes countless animals. Among them, there are 70 Li Palaces, which can accommodate thousands of strange vehicles.
The young man's face seemed to glow, and his handsome appearance lost some of its childishness. The initial gloominess dissipated, leaving only an open and comfortable appearance. Ignoring the prying gazes around him, Pei Ruoqing walked up to the second floor. After registering, he still had to look for Shi Yihong. He was not the only one who came today.
As soon as they got out of the car, they met the principal of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. Hence, Teacher Shi, who had an imposing aura wherever he went, was dragged to tea by his good friend and subordinate. The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China existed because of Fuyun University, and it sent countless talents to Yun University every year. The principal of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China naturally knew Shi Yihong. Excluding Shi Yihong's position in the literary and educational world, the principal was technically Teacher Shi's subordinate.
The classrooms of the Long Sight Building were set up opposite each other. In the middle was a spacious and quiet corridor. The heat outside was hard to dissipate, but the corridor was slightly cool. Pei Ruoqing looked up and saw that there were already a few people in the classroom of Class Seven. They were all new students who had come to register. Pei Ruoqing looked up and saw the person sitting in the first row facing the classroom. It was a young man, about 28 or 29 years old. He wore a pair of retro round black-rimmed glasses. His appearance was not outstanding, but when he smiled, it gave people a very comfortable feeling.
Good old man. This was Pei Ruoqing's first evaluation of his form teacher for the next three years. However, it did not take long for him to understand that this person was not a good person. He was simply a person who ate people without spitting out their bones. His gentleness and harmlessness were just his appearance to confuse the world. In the next three years, this person held a royal sword and carried out endless…exploitation.
However, the current Young Master Pei was not wary of this 'gentle and harmless' form teacher at all. He obediently lined up behind the first person to register.
"It's your first time living on campus. If you need anything or are not used to it, you have to tell Mom, okay?”A mother and son who had just registered walked to the side. The mother's eyes were filled with reluctance as she carefully reminded them.
However, the boy who was being reminded was very ungrateful. He said impatiently," I know. Aren't you annoying? There are classmates watching. Don't you find it embarrassing?"”
Hearing this conversation, Pei Ruoqing could not help but laugh. How could a young man who was curious and thirsted for independence listen to such earnest exhortations? He probably wished he could grow a pair of wings and soar into the sky so that his family would never care about him.
Looking at the helpless expression on the mother's face, Pei Ruoqing could not help but think of Song Yuyan. She and the little clingy girl at home. Song Yuyan, who had a child, had the characteristics of a mother. She would worry about many trivial things for him.
Speaking of Pei Siyi, it was also very strange. Compared to Song Yuyan and Pei Yuanshao, he preferred to be close to and stick to Pei Ruoqing. As long as Pei Ruoqing was around, he would definitely not be with Song Yuyan and Pei Yuanshao.
"Student, do you have any thoughts?" His homeroom teacher looked at him with a smile in her eyes, but her gaze was locked on the mother and son.
Pei Ruoqing realized that it was already his turn. For some reason, she felt a strange sense of familiarity when she saw the smile on the person's face. He shook off the horrifying thoughts in his mind and slowly said,'People see that men and women are good, but they don't know that men and women make people old.' I just think that instead of saying that raising children is to prevent old age, it's better to say that raising children is getting older.”
Xiao Xinan's eyes flashed, and he looked at the young man in front of him who was about to become his student with some surprise. The tone of this old man was very similar to someone he knew.
He knocked the pen in his hand on the table and did not continue this topic. He only saw Pei Ruoqing looking at the mother and son shaking her head and was curious. However, this young man's answer really surprised him.
"Name?" Xiao Xinan asked.
"Pei Ruoqing."
Xiao Xinan looked down at the name list in his hand and found Pei Ruoqing's name." Please fill in the basic information. The tuition fees will be transferred by the parents 'WeChat group.”
Pei Ruoqing took the name list and filled in the column by column. When he reached the column where he had held a position, he paused for a moment and thought about it before filling in none. He hesitated when he filled in the parent's name and contact information. It was impossible to fill in his father. His father was far away in S City. Even if he flew over, it would take an entire morning. Filled with the glory of the times? Pei Ruoqing shook his head. Teacher Shi was too famous in the capital. He did not want to attract any attention. It was even more impossible to fill in his grandfather's name. He didn't want others to be scared to death.
After some thought, he decisively filled in Shi Yunshu's name and contact information. However, he had underestimated his brother's fame. Yun Shu was also an amazing legend in The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China because he had graduated from there.
Therefore, when Xiao Xinan saw the information he filled in, his eyes became strange, and his ordinary face became particularly vivid.
Could this child be a liar?
Although he had his doubts, he did not ask further. Instead, he said," Student Pei, can you stay behind and help me with something?”
"No."
Xiao Xinan was speechless.
He smiled and his expression became gentler." Okay, no problem. Arrange for the students and parents who will come later to fill in the information one by one.”
This time, it was Pei Ruoqing's turn to be speechless.
He felt that he must have been blind to think that this smiling tiger in front of him was a good person. He looked up and saw two big words written on the blackboard opposite him: Xiao Xinan. There was also a string of phone numbers written in artistic handwriting below.
The corners of his mouth twitched. He turned around silently and started to do some labor for the homeroom teacher whom he had just met for the first time.
As time passed, more and more people came. Pei Ruoqing set up two rows of benches at the back of the classroom so that the people who came in could sit and wait. She then went to the door to show the way to those who were still looking for their classes and told them the process.
Xiao Xinan glanced at her inadvertently. This time, he was really surprised. He had only wanted to test Pei Ruoqing, but he did not expect him to handle things in an orderly manner, as if he had undergone professional training.
It seemed that he had picked up a treasure this time. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly drowned out. Pei Ruoqing, who was standing at the door, felt a chill on her neck, as if she was being stared at by something sinister.
