Chapter 540: Excursion (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Those who went on the excursion were basically all children.
Considering that there might be all kinds of winding paths on the way, they did not use a luxurious carriage. Instead, they divided their group into three smaller carriages.
Little All Yu and Tang Yuan occupied a carriage. The other children squeezed into the second carriage, and the servants and guards sat in the last carriage.
Although the carriages were light, they were not simple.
Chi Ding originally wanted to follow and let Chi Jia stay in the Wang Family to teach the remaining children martial arts.
In the end, the two of them fought and he lost miserably. He could only stay in the Wang Family as a teacher.
The children would travel for half a day every day. The other half of the day would be spent learning martial arts with Chi She and Chi Jia.
It was only at this moment that everyone found out that Chi She, who looked young, had once passed the second-grade imperial civil service examination!
The children all asked him for guidance, making Chi She extremely happy.
As for Little Ah Yu, she was specially taught by Qin Huai.
Qin Huai originally thought that his knowledge which was at the provincial scholar level would be easy for him to teach the little girl. However, he quickly realized that Little Ah Yu’s comprehension ability was comparable to his.
If the same article was taught to her once, there would definitely be no need to teach her again next time. She could even analyze similar articles.
There was nothing in history, astronomy, and geography that she was not interested in.
One day, after Little All Yu asked a question as usual, Qin Huai took a sip of water and said calmly, “I’ll teach you how to play Go.”
Little All Yu nodded. “Alright, sure! 1 like to play Go!”
In the Wang Estate’s Go class, the two female teachers hated to teach her how to play Go because—
“All Yu, you can’t place a piece here…” Qin Huai looked at Little Ah Yu’s lonely black piece placed haphazardly in the middle of the white pieces.
If he wanted to kill it, it would be a waste of a move. However, it felt wrong if he ignored the piece.
Little All Yu’s face puffed up. “Can’t 1 place it there? Is there such a rule?”
Qin Huai was silent for a moment before saying, “…Not really.”
However, after a while, Little All Yu’s black pieces somehow connected with the outer circle and killed a large number of Qin Huai’s white pieces.
She clapped her hands and laughed. “Haha, Big Brother All You, 1 won!”
Qin Huai, who had never lost before: “…Again.”
At night, everyone found an inn and slept.
Qin Huai’s room was brightly lit. He had a book on state policy in his left hand and a chessboard on his right.
He was actually reading and playing chess against himself.
The corners of Chi Jia’s mouth twitched, but he could not bear to disturb him.
He only said dryly, “Young Master, rest early.”
It was already midnight. If he did not sleep, the sky would be bright soon.
Qin Huai did not listen.
Chi Jia went out and bumped into Tang Yuan.
Tang Yuan was holding a tray with some pastries and water on it. When she saw Chi Jia, she lifted the tray. “Teacher Chi Jia, do you want some?”
Little All Yu was traveling and had developed the habit of eating in the middle of the night. Sometimes, she would shout that she was hungry at night. When Tang Yuan found out, she would prepare some extra food every day and send it to her.
Little All Yu was half-asleep and could not eat much.
A moment later, Qin Huai looked at Chi Jia, who had returned. “What’s the matter?”
Chi Jia carried the tray and said, “Young Master, it’s late. Have some dinner. Miss Ah Yu just ate as well.”
He thought to himself that it was better to have a maidservant to handle these things. For example, he had never thought of this before.
When Qin Huai heard that Little All Yu had eaten, he looked at the tray. There was actually a pastry with teeth marks on it.
It was still clearly missing two teeth. It was obvious that it was bitten by Little Ah Yu.
Chi Jia was concerned about him, but not too much. The pastries he brought were all leftovers.
“Got it. Put it there.”
Qin Huai did not expose Chi Jia. He circled around the one Little Ah Yu had bitten and ate two pastries before taking a sip of tea. He felt his stuffy mind clear up again.
Seeing that Chi Jia had yet to leave, Qin Huai asked, “Is All Yu asleep?”
“According to Tang Yuan, Miss Ah Yu fell asleep before she finished eating. It’s late at night, so it’s not convenient for me to enter and investigate,” Chi Jia said.
Qin Huai looked at the book in his hand and thought of Little Ah Yu, who was sleeping soundly after eating and drinking her fill next door.
A subtle feeling arose in his heart.
He stood up.
Chi Jia: “Young Master?”
“Sleeping.”
Chi Jia:”…”
Didn’t he look like he was going to work hard until dawn just now?
