The warm spring sun shone down on his body, making him feel extremely comfortable. However, when it fell on Du Yicheng, he found it difficult to endure.
When he finally learned how to light a fire, he stood in front of the stove and fanned himself. It was like there was a small sun in front of him.
The copper kettle began to bubble, and Du Yicheng was overjoyed.
Finally, he could stop burning this damned fire!
The eleven-year-old youngster had a look of joy on his face as he wrapped the handkerchief around his mouth and picked up the kettle.
"The fire in the water has passed. This is made from soaking the silver needles. They should have been soaked when the water started to boil, otherwise, the tea leaves would have been burnt." The taste is also a lot worse. " Shen Junxiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
Du Yicheng, who was holding the pot, opened his mouth, then his eyes popped out. His bodyguards could no longer stand by and hurriedly took the pot, "Young Master, please take a rest first."
Du Yizhen glanced at the guard, and then at Shen Jun, who was smiling coldly. His eyes were filled with mockery, as if he was mocking him for being worried that he couldn't even boil a pot of water.
Du Yicheng could tell that Shen Junxiao was intentionally trying to make things difficult for him. If he truly wanted to teach him, he could have just told him when the water was boiling. Who knew that the silver needles were so scorching hot!
This was obviously making things difficult for him.
Faced with the young man's angry black eyes, Shen Jun opened his folding fan with a smack and gently shook it a few times.
He did it on purpose. It would be best if the little overlord left now!
With the excuse of learning how to make tea, he actually wanted to bully the little girl. Was the person he was protecting that easy to bully?
Just like that, the two of them stood in silent confrontation, knowing full well that Du Yicheng's eyes would tear from the glare and finally look away. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the study room in the west wing, and he saw Xiu Ying's figure writing.
Sunlight fell on the side of her face, causing her skin to be as white as jade. Her red lips were pursed, and her expression was very serious.
"Again." Suddenly, Du Yicheng snatched the pot from the guard's hands, poured the water from the pot into an empty bucket beside him, and added fresh water.
Shen Jun looked at his stubborn face and laughed coldly, continuing to wave his fan coldly as he watched him busy himself.
After Shen Junxiao had rejected the third time, it was time for the meal. Du Yicheng's stomach began to thump loudly.
No matter how domineering his temperament was, he was still an eleven-year-old youngster after all. Du Yicheng's face immediately turned red. Shen Jun smiled as he stood up. He flicked the non-existent ashes on his body, "Young Master Du, please return."
Du Yicheng had never been so vindictive. He was actually so stingy that he didn't even use a meal. This Shen San Ye was truly amazing!
Holding back his impulse to throw something, Du Yicheng stood up and was about to leave, the guard hurriedly took a clean handkerchief and passed it over. Before he could react, he swiped his face, and when he saw the dark color of the handkerchief, his face turned ashen.
Xiu Ying had already written two pages. At this moment, she was lying by the window, watching a joke. She laughed out loud. A crisp laughter resounded in the courtyard as Du Yicheng's fierce gaze gouged out at her.
Xiu Ying hurriedly covered her mouth.
She was rather happy that the little overlord was being toyed with, but in a few years, he would have made great contributions to the war and the Eternal Ping Marquis Mansion would be honored. After thinking about it, she felt that it was best not to offend him to the end.
Du Yicheng wanted to make a fool of Xiu Ying, but he couldn't do so. On the contrary, he was so enraged by the tease that he angrily left.
Just as he was about to leave the Shen Mansion, a little girl caught up and handed him an exquisite box, "Young Master Du, this is a snack our Lord Third has prepared for you. It was made recently by our cook, and although it can't compare to the delicacy of the Hou Mansion, it is still something that only our family can make. "Lord Third wants you to eat to relieve your boredom on the way."
The little girl gave him the food box and ran back as fast as she could, as if there were ghosts chasing her.
Du Yicheng watched as his silhouette disappeared before lifting his hand to open a small crack in the food box. The faint aroma of pear blossoms wafted over. It smelled good.
He thought about it for a while, and then the image of Shen Jun laughing with that icy face appeared in his mind, and he sneered as he rode out of Shen Mansion.
In Mu Xi Yuan's courtyard, Shen Jun looked at Xiu Ying with a smile, lightly saying, "Why are you using my name to send those pastries?"
Xiu Ying laughed and said, "I know that Third Uncle is holding injustice for me. I'll first beat him up, but he is the first grandson of the Marquis of Yongping, and he will inherit the Marquis' family in the future. "She thought that it would be hard to make him hate her for a little girl."
Furthermore, she had fought back. If her third uncle were to become an official in the future, there would be no need for him to have so many enemies.
Shen Jun smiled when he heard her call herself a little girl.
"You just like to blindly think. With so many thoughts on your mind, it's no wonder why you don't grow."
"You are making fun of me again. This is unfair." Xiu Ying didn't even look at him.
Right now, she looked a bit rounder, so she didn't seem too tall. It was obvious that children her age couldn't even compare to her!
The little girl looked extremely cute when she was angry. Her almond eyes were round and black, extremely clear. Just looking at her made people feel happy. Shen Jun smiled and said, "Then Third Uncle will apologize to you. Let's have lunch here. Tell the kitchen to add some water to cook your meat and put fresh bean sprouts inside."
With a simple sentence and a dish being her favorite dish, Xiu Ying's smile instantly lit up. When Shen Junxiao turned his head to instruct the Four Treasures to tell the Feng family, Xiu Ying's face suddenly turned hot.
Why did it seem like she really was an eight-year-old child? Recently, she had been wanting to act like a spoiled child to her mother and her third uncle, and she loved to watch them spoil her. She touched her face, then gave up.
Who cares? She was only eight years old now anyway, and some things were still far away, so it was fine to reminisce about her childhood!
Xiu Ying ate a beautiful meal at Mu Xi Yuan, then hugged her round belly as she went to look for her mother. Seeing her rare figure leisurely walking out of the courtyard, Shen Jun's eyes brimmed with laughter.
In the evening, Master Shen received news from his old mother that Du Yicheng was coming to learn how to cook tea from Shen Jun. He paused for a moment as he held onto the teacup, then thought of something and excused himself to go to Muxi Courtyard.
Shen Junxiao was sitting in the yard looking at Zhou Yi. Master Shen saw him as soon as he entered and greeted him with a smile.
Shen Jun smiled and raised his eyes slowly, saying indifferently, "What kind of wind blew Big Brother here?"
His tone wasn't good. Master Shen's smile was a bit stiff, and he didn't want to exchange pleasantries with him. He said, "I heard that the young master of the Yongping Mansion wanted you to teach some lessons? "You refused?!"
"Younger brother is only an Elementary Scholar, how can I teach him?"
Master Shen laughed again. "As your brother, I know Third Brother's knowledge. Teaching him is naturally possible. I think it's right to reject him. You still have to take the Imperial examinations, how can you be distracted?"
Shen Junxiao felt that there was something behind his words and looked at him slanted his eyes.
Sure enough, Master Shen continued, "Speaking of which, our Shen family's school has been suspended for a few years, so brother is wondering if we should start over. Now that the children have all grown up, we should look for a teacher to properly teach them. "
Shen Jun smiled and looked at him with a hint of sternness in his eyes.
