398 Inviting Someone
“Sister Liang Xue, what are you laughing at?” Little Ah Yu asked.
Liang Xue laughed for a long time before stopping. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, “You’re not in the village. I’m afraid you don’t know. The village holds a small temple fair every ten days. That’s the real show.”
Speaking of which, today was also the 10th of March. Because the farming season was imminent and Hu Family Village was busy with the school, they had long informed the various villages that the small temple fair in the next two months would not be held for the time being.
Little Ah Yu looked around. “Ah, it’s the 10th today. Why isn’t there any show?”
“The village needs to build a school and doesn’t have time to hold a temple fair, so we’ll leave it for now.” Hu Xiaotong patted Little Ah Yu’s shoulder and casually changed the topic. “Ah Yu, accompany me to put down the medicine basket first. The village might become lively soon.”
The boys from the Wang Family did not follow her back. Tang Yuan had just descended the mountain and was called to help again, so Hu Xiaotong took the initiative to help look after Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu hurriedly said, “Alright, alright!”
After Hu Xiaotong pulled Little Ah Yu away, Liang Xue bit her lip.
What was wrong with this Little Doctor Hu?
When she first entered the mountains to pick herbs, she had never seen him acting so cold. What is going on now?
Could it be that he was afraid that she would snatch his title as a doctor when she became a doctor in the future?
Liang Xue rolled her eyes in secret and happened to meet the villagers greeting her.
“Liang Xue, you went to the mountains to pick herbs again? Divine Doctor Xue is really too much. You’re just a girl. How can he let you go to the mountains every day?” The villager said disapprovingly.
“Master is doing this for my own good. I have to identify the herbs myself to know what’s good and what’s not.”
“You’re so studious. You’re a girl after all. Be careful when you enter the mountain. Don’t hurt yourself.”
“Alright.”
Liang Xue smiled, not feeling that it was a big deal.
She was not from Hu Family Village, so her connection with the Wang Family was very awkward. The only person she was close to here was Divine Doctor Xue.
As long as Divine Doctor Xue did not deliberately abuse her and taught her medicine, it did not matter if the training was a little bitter or tiring.
When she mastered the trade in the future, she would definitely not stay in the mountains.
At that time, she would also open a medical center in the county city and let those people who looked down on her see her in a different light.
With this thought, Liang Xue glanced at the group and left without looking back.
Regardless of who it was, it had nothing to do with her.
Little Ah Yu followed Hu Xiaotong. After a long while, she could not help but ask, “Big Brother Xiaotong, do you not like Sister Liang Xue?”
“You saw through me?” Hu Xiaotong replied as he packed his things in the courtyard.
“When Big Brother Xiaotong doesn’t like someone, your eyes don’t even have light.” Little Ah Yu pointed at Hu Xiaotong’s eyes. “Is it because there’s something wrong with Sister Liang Xue?”
Hu Xiaotong: “It’s nothing. I’m a man and she’s a woman. It’s not good to be too close.”
Originally, Liang Xue wanted to follow Hu Xiaotong to the mountains to pick herbs, but Hu Xiaotong was a little unhappy.
Actually, it was not for no reason that Hu Xiaotong did not like Liang Xue.
This was because once, when the two of them bumped into each other in the mountains, Liang Xue almost fell and she subconsciously grabbed Hu Xiaotong’s hand.
Before Hu Xiaotong could say anything, Liang Xue blushed.
Hu Xiaotong, who was almost 15 years old this year, also knew some things about men and women. Seeing Liang Xue blush, he, who originally did not think much of it, also felt extremely embarrassed.
From then on, he would take a detour whenever he saw Liang Xue.
This time, Little Ah Yu saw him and wanted to go to the mountains to pick herbs with him. They were not going deep into the mountains to begin with, and it was not dangerous, so Hu Xiaotong agreed.
In the end, Liang Xue appeared out of nowhere and actually said that she wanted to go with them.
Hu Xiaotong thought to himself, Liang Xue is almost 16 this year, right?
He was only 14 years old. Could it be that she wanted to prey on a young boy like him?
At the thought of this, Hu Xiaotong felt uncomfortable.
He did not mind his wife studying medicine too. His mother would also help treat patients sometimes.
But he minded very much that a girl older than him had designs on him!
“This is what Teacher meant by men and women can’t sit at the same table if their age difference is over seven years, right?” Little Ah Yu shook her head and calculated in her mind. “I’m going to be four years old this year. There are still three years before I can go up the mountain to pick herbs with Big Brother Xiaotong.”
Little Ah Yu said extremely seriously, “Otherwise, the villagers will gossip about us, right?”
Hu Xiaotong: “…”
Hu Xiaotong looked at Little Ah Yu, who was not even as tall as his waist, and was speechless.
No matter how blind the people in the village were, they could not be so blind.
“Little Master, Old Madam is looking for you!” Tang Yuan ran over, panting.
Seeing that Little Ah Yu’s hand was stained with mud, she took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her.
Little Ah Yu obediently let her wipe the dirt off. She took out a handkerchief from her bag and tiptoed to wipe the sweat off Tang Yuan’s face.
“Ah Yu, go over first.” Since someone had come to take over, and Hu Xiaotong was not in a hurry to go over and watch the commotion.
He did not like to join in the fun.
Tang Yuan brought Little Ah Yu away and said to her on the way, “I think the teachers that Lord Zhang invited have arrived. Lord Zhang even brought some things for us.”
Little Ah Yu hurriedly asked, “Is there anything for me? Anything for me?”
“Of course. That’s why I’m asking you to go back and take a look.” Tang Yuan looked at Little Ah Yu jumping three feet high and could not help but laugh.
If there was anything good for the Wang Family, even if no one else received anything, Little Ah Yu’s share would definitely be included.
...
“Could there be a letter from Big Brother Ah You?” Little Ah Yu began to think freely again.
Actually, she had just received a letter from Madam Qin during the Flower Festival. Even if there was more, it would still take more than half a month to arrive.
“Maybe there is.” Tang Yuan coaxed her.
When they returned to Old man Wang’s house, they realized that there were already many people sitting in the huge courtyard.
Even many children were squatting on the huge rock in front.
Everyone craned their necks to look inside.
“So many teachers!”
“Are they all here to teach us to read?”
“I saw two old ones and a few young ones.”
“My mother said that the older a person is, the more valuable they are. Therefore, the older a person is, the more powerful they will be.”
“Anyway, we’ll know when we go to school.”
...
“Actually, I don’t want to go to school. When Old Master Hu was Teacher Hu, I saw many people being spanked.”
The courtyard was filled with villagers watching the commotion. There were eight teachers sitting in the Wang Family’s main hall, and there were more than 10 officials outside.
Originally, the teachers were going to the village chief’s house, but the officials went straight to Old man Wang’s house, so they naturally followed.
This time, Old man Wang and Wang Chuanfu were in charge of receiving them. Old Madam Wang instructed Madam Feng to bring Liang Xue to the kitchen to boil water, make tea, and prepare some snacks for everyone.
Seeing that Tang Yuan had returned, Old Madam Wang asked Tang Yuan to go and greet everyone.
Although Tang Yuan was young, she was especially experienced. Soon, she found many long stools and made arrangements for the noisy people in the courtyard.
Ouyang Changjing, Ouyang Pei, and the others had not found an opportunity to talk to Old Madam Wang in detail in the past few days.
Now that so many people had come to their house, they could only wait at Qin Huai’s house next door.
A few of them were sitting in the courtyard talking.
Suddenly, they saw Tang Yuan from the Wang Family coming. She shouted from outside the fence, “Young Master Ouyang, Young Master Ouyang!”
Ouyang Changjing and Ouyang Pei looked over at the same time.
Ouyang Pei: “What is it?”
Did the Old Madam finally remember that she had neglected them too much and wanted to invite them over as guests?
Ouyang Pei had already thought about how to reject her later.
Tang Yuan: “We’re a little busy over there. There’s a shortage of firewood in the kitchen. Old Madam asked me to ask if I can borrow your family’s people for a while.”
Ouyang Changjing: “?”
Ouyang Pei: “?”
The servants and secret guards: “…”
