Today, Nangong Waner woke up from his comfortable sleep and sat on his bed, stretching his body. "Ah ~ It feels good!"

Nangong Waner happily patted her large bed. He was really satisfied.

During breakfast, Liu Hong waited on the side. As Nangong Waner ate, he felt as if he had forgotten something. Nangong Waner asked Liu Hong, "I seem to have forgotten something."

Liu Hong seemed to be trying very hard to help Nangong Waner think about it, but yesterday, Prince Zhan only brought Nangong Waner to the bamboo forest study room, Liu Hong did not have any leads, "Miss, are you talking about the matter of Elder Xiu today?"

Nangong Waner waved his hand, "No, I know Elder Xiu is here today." After thinking for a while, Nangong Waner decided to stop thinking about it, "It's already been this hour, it might not be easy to come today.

Liu Hong wanted to advise Nangong Waner not to go play in the large courtyard, but when she saw that Nangong Waner had already planned everything out happily, she opened her mouth and did not say what she wanted to say.

In the large courtyard, in the room where Nangong Waner often played cards, Nangong Waner really did sit down and played cards.

"Bullsh * t." A young maid pushed a token and happily said, "Give me some money."

"Miss Nangong, can you please record the number of cards you have? This is the first time you are giving money to someone." The servant standing behind Nangong Waner spoke to Nangong Waner resentfully.

"I also remember a bit, but I don't remember it that well. Continue." Nangong Waner's loss hurt a little.

This time, Nangong Waner really gnashed his teeth and told himself in the depths of his heart that he had played with full concentration.

"Aiya, Miss Nangong, why are you not recording your cards? You gave people money again, aiya." Seeing Nangong Waner give cards to someone and lose money, the attendant standing behind Nangong Waner also felt extremely pained. He was really unable to control himself and spoke of Nangong Waner a few more times.

"Why didn't I figure out that he needed eight? "Then before this, he even shot nine out." Nangong Waner couldn't help but explain himself.

The large courtyard was filled with servants who had just recently entered the mansion and were of low rank. These servants usually didn't have the opportunity to serve their masters in close proximity and do some simple tasks similar to cleaning or running errands. However, the maids who were of a higher rank could also instruct them to do some work. Thus, sometimes, Nangong Waner's card friends would come over a few times a day. When there was something wrong, the servant or servant would be called away to work, and those who liked to play cards would come over to watch the show.

Nangong Waner was already used to changing hands frequently, but she was a little curious today, "My lord, which courtyard are you from?" Nangong Waner looked at the old man in front of him, who was really not young anymore, and wondered which courtyard he was in.

The old man on the opposite side was playing cards with great focus, as if he had not heard Nangong Waner's words at all.

Nangong Waner did not feel that the old man was being rude either. While playing cards with his hands, he continued to talk non-stop, "Great sir, is Chu Xiuhan that stingy? Shouldn't we pay for our retirement at this age? "

The opposing old man could not be bothered with Nangong Waner and coughed dryly twice, then continued to play with his cards in a low voice, "Hmmph, self-groping, you are f * cking bullsh * t."

Nangong Waner's eyes opened wide, so this was an expert at playing cards, this was the first time he saw one today. Nangong Waner took out the money and handed it over to the old man, then said a few words to him, "Old man, you can tell me which courtyard you are in, and I can help you talk to Chu Xiuhan, and ask him to let you go home and take care of your family."

"My surname is Xiu and I currently live in the bamboo forest's study room. I do not need to go home for the time being. After teaching you well, Prince Zhan will naturally let me go home." After receiving the money and finishing his words, Elder Xiu slowly stood up. He tidied up his robes and left the large courtyard without looking back.

Suddenly, Nangong Waner became clear-headed and thought of what Chu Xiuhan had told her, "Wan Er, Elder Xiu has always had high sight and is very courteous. When he comes to the Duke Palace tomorrow, you should wait for him in the study.

"It's over." This was the first time Nangong Waner had ever felt fear towards a person ever since he came to this world. From Elder Xiu's words and actions, she knew that Elder Xiu was indeed a person who paid a lot of attention to etiquette and etiquette. Be it his knowledge or his private interactions with others, he seemed to be very particular about both of them. "It's over, it's all over," Nangong Waner added in his heart.

This time, Nangong Waner no longer had any intention to play cards, and hastily packed up his things before chasing after her.

"Master, please have some tea!" In the study room, Nangong Waner passed over the tea cup with a mischievous smile, but Elder Xiu continued to read the book unmoved.

"Master, have some tea." The arm that was holding the tea began to shake uncontrollably. Very quickly, the teacup and tea cup that Nangong Waner was holding started to make clear sounds under the shaking of his hand.

"Put down the tea." After Nangong Waner heard this, he placed the tea in front of Elder Xiu. Elder Xiu then slowly brought the tea over and took a sip.

"I have always been strict in my studies and have a lot of rules. From today onwards, you will have to study with me. I want you to remember that three things are not to be disobeyed. First, you must report here every morning at five o'clock and then read it for an hour in the morning. Second, you must stand at my side and serve me tea before your daily lessons. Thirdly, you can't go against your master's words. You should accept his punishment. Is there a problem? "

Nangong Waner stood respectfully, he did not dare act rashly, and mumbled a few sentences that he did not know what to do, as though he was unwilling.

"Hold out your hand!" Elder Xiu asked in a serious voice.

Nangong Waner raised his head, confused by the situation.

"Master wants you to extend your hand!" The Elder Xiu raised his voice again, and said sternly.

Nangong Waner extended his right hand slowly in fear.

"Pa — —" Elder Xiu took out a thick and heavy ruler from nowhere and fiercely smashed it onto Nangong Waner's palm.

"You should speak clearly and speak generously. What did you look like just now!?" Elder Xiu said in a deep voice.

Nangong Waner's heart was in great shock, the pain made him unable to speak. Tears continued to roll in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to shed them.

After that, Nangong Waner followed Elder Xiu to start his study. Elder Xiu did not start from the basics, he immediately started teaching the ancient books and every so often, there would be poems interspersed in them. Nangong Waner did not have much literacy, so it was really hard for him to understand.

Nangong Waner looked at his right hand that was swollen like a steamed bun, and sighed in his heart, "Ah, if I had known this would happen, I would have extended my left hand and beaten him up. I wouldn't have been able to eat food now."
