In the quiet brow courtyard, the March sun was just right, lazily scattering through the phoenix wood panes into the music room.

Xu Mingwei, who was five years old, and the six ladies of the Xu Family's fourth wife all sat in front of their zither in a kneeling position. All of them wore the same tortoiseshell nails, which were especially used by young children.

Xu Mingmei, who was born a year earlier than Xu Mingwei and was only six years old, was precisely the age who liked to play around. When she heard Master Fang talk about the key points of the Shaking and Finger Technique, his fierce eyes did not focus on him. Her gaze accidentally landed on the birdsong fragrance outside the window, and even Master Fang's eyes did not notice him.

Fortunately, the Master Fang was able to stand on his own. As a widow, he dressed in hemp and knelt down in front of the male memorial hallHee served her mother-in-law for six years and was rewarded by the imperial court for being filial. It wasn't until her mother-in-law had gone for a breather that he was invited over by the Xu family to the Xu family. She sat as a master of the Six Arts and was responsible for teaching the seven young ladies of the fourth wife of the Xu family. The oldest was thirteen years old, and the youngest was only five years old. With the age span being so obvious, the Xu family was still afraid that the Master Fang would be unhappy, but he never expected that the Master Fang would be so pleased after meeting the few girls. He did not say anything, and taught them his homework wholeheartedly. For the sake of this female mister, it was worth it to almost fall out with the Fang family.

He talked about returning to the music room. Although he sighed in his heart, he did not plan to investigate further. After all, this child was still far from being able to reach the point where he needed to grasp it tightly. She let go of Xu Mingmei whose butt was nailed down, and her gaze landed on Xu Mingwei who was sitting beside her. Looking at her, Xu Mingwei sighed in admiration as she lowered her eyes and made serious movements with her thumb, almost shaking her finger.

Master Fang couldn't help but get up from his seat, and slowly walked to Xu Mingwei's side. He looked at him for a while, and then said, "You don't have to practice this disintegration movement, your wrist won't move, your forearm is in the air, try moving it faster."

With that said, all the girls in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at Xu Mingwei, who was being personally guided by Master Fang, with different expressions.

Xu Mingqiang was both surprised and curious. A trace of darkness flashed across Xu Mingmo's eyes, but they were quickly covered up. On the other hand, Xu Mingdong, the sister of three rooms, did not hide his jealousy and hatred. He directly glared at Xu Mingwei, who had stolen her sister's limelight.

Master Fang had naturally noticed the expressions of everyone in the zither room, but she did not leave. Instead, he bent down slightly and corrected Xu Mingwei's actions in a warm voice.

"You need to bring your thumb and forefinger together. When the palm is formed, your little strength is insufficient. You can allow your palm to support it …"

Xu Mingwei thought that she really did not have enough strength for a five year old child. She was still trying to force herself to wave her arms in the air, but it was a pity that she did not have enough strength, and could not endure much longer. She could only follow what Master Fang said, and shake his zither with her palm leaning on the zither, it was truly much easier.

"For the people who tried this finger technique for the first time, you've already done very well. Go back and continue practicing. In the future, tie a sandbag or two around your wrist and use it when practicing big words."

The cold and detached words of the Master Fang rang in her ears, it didn't sound like praise at all. But after just half a month of interaction, it was already enough for the young ladies of the Xu family to understand that their young mistress was an immortal. She did not praise anyone so easily, and Xu Mingwei receiving her praise was already very capable.

"Alright, that's enough for today. The afternoon class will still go to the Emerald Bamboo Garden, don't forget to bring your protective finger. "

The words of the Master Fang made the girls happy again. To them, the girls of the Xu family liked riding and shooting the most. In fact, they had just started learning. The horses they rode were all young female horses that were not even as tall as a person. Rather than saying they were horses, it would be better to say that they were being led by a horse. After all, they were all young girls, and if they broke their looks, they wouldn't be able to talk about marriage in the future. However, even if they were to just sit on horses and slowly lead them in a small circle along the bamboo forest path, the ladies of the Xu family would still be very happy.

Xu Mingwei retorted in her heart. This kind of feeling was probably the same as when she was at school in her previous life.

Although the class had already ended, the young ladies of the Xu family did not dare to leave first. They all respectfully bowed to Master Fang, and waited for her to leave first before picking up their tortoise shell nails and leaving in twos and threes.

Because of his age, Xu Mingwei would usually be closer to Xu Mingmei. She was quick, in a few breaths, she had already cleaned up the zither music and nails, but Xu Mingmei was still busy picking out the nails from his hands. Xu Mingwei could only help her pick up the zither music book and place it inside Xu Mingmei's red embroidered bag.

Xu Mingmei heaved a sigh of relief, her face immediately revealing an expression of being saved: "Thank god there was Seventh Sister you, otherwise I wouldn't even know what to do."

Xu Mingwei thought, wasn't that simple? She would just pick it up herself. But she did not say it, and helped her fold her tortoiseshell nails again, and they went out of the room together.

On the way, Xu Mingmei was still praising her, "Seventh Sister, you are so awesome. Master Fang looked at me from above.

That's because you're a rat, and you're born to be bold. Xu Mingwei looked at her silently, thinking that there was something wrong with the way she was praising him. Should she not praise her for learning faster than her elder sister?

The two chatted as they walked back. was listening. In any case, Xu Mingmei did not care if Ming Wei ignored him, she just wanted someone to be with her to talk to her.

As a result, when he was near the Hibiscus Courtyard, he heard someone talking in front of him. Xu Mingmei wanted to walk forward, but he was stopped by Xu Mingwei.

"Big sister, Seventh Sister is clearly showing that to you, why did you stop me just now and not let me teach Seventh Sister a lesson? I can't stand that. "

The person's voice was clear and crisp, Xu Mingwei could tell that it was three rooms's Xu Mingdong from his voice. Fortunately, Xu Mingmei was not really stupid. After being pulled by her, and listening to her, he immediately understood her meaning, and did not speak anymore, hiding behind Xu Mingwei to eavesdrop, a look of doubt flashed across his face. Since when did Seventh Sister show her face to big sister, could it be that he was too afraid of her just now, so he did not notice?
