Li Hanyao still remembers the scene when she first met Huang Xiu: wearing a vulgar flower clothes and trousers, she ran to the Huang family yard to watch Huang Xiu take care of the flowers and plants.

Her name is Huang Xiu "Uncle".

This is the habit she developed when walking outside: anyone older than Li Zhuohang is called "uncle", while those younger than Li Zhuohang are called "uncle".

Her little appearance is so adorable. No matter how perverse Huang Xiu is, he can't hate his white smile and dark and pure eyes. Besides, she is eloquent and is not afraid of being a casual person. Although she is close to her purpose, she is not fake at all and asks all kinds of strange questions according to her vigorous curiosity.

Huang Xiu's life in seclusion was very dull. Seeing that she was cute, he started chatting with her. Huang Xiu's attitude was not good, and he looked disgusted and impatient, but Li Hanyao was not afraid of him, and she still pestered him to ask this and that.

Huang Xiu liked this unspicable temperament. After a while of Q&A, he found that the little girl was extremely smart and was very surprised.

But that's all.

He did not ask Li Hanyao what his surname was and where he came from, nor did he reveal his identity at all, but just thought she was a naughty boy in the village. In fact, he had lived in Banqiao Village for several years and had never seen such a little girl.

Li Hanyao tried her best to show her advantages in intelligence, well-being, diligent study, etc., hoping to arouse Huang Xiu's interest and accept her as a disciple. However, her mouth was dry and her face was sore, and Huang Xiu was still very cold.

Li Hanyao was feeling very tired.

At this time, Huang Xiu finished work, washed his hands and sat under the osmanthus tree to drink tea, play chess, and well, and also had snacks. Li Hanyao's eyes lit up.

When Huang Xiu saw her staring at his hand, he thought she was greedy.

Li Hanyao said, "I can play chess!"

A look that you want to show off.

Huang Xiu said distractedly: "Oh, then you can show me the way. Just hold the white sprig. If you can walk three steps under my hands, you will be given this snack."

He still felt that Li Hanyao was greedy for his snacks, but the little girl was so weak that she was embarrassed to say it, but she couldn't bear to leave, so she said that she could play chess; otherwise, she would have left with a hint of eyes when she saw him eating.

Li Hanyao didn't know that she was regarded as a greedy cat by Huang Xiu, so she walked happily to Huang Xiu, touched a white piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Hanyao lost.

However, three steps have passed.

A strange color flashed in Huang Xiu's eyes and asked, "Who taught you how to play chess?"

Li Hanyao said: "I went to business with my father and watched people from school on the street."

Huang Xiu: "Oh!"

It turned out to be a peddler.

Li Hanyao urged him to play the second set.

Nothing happened, Huang Xiu agreed to her and then put another plate on.

On that day, they put down four plates.

Li Hanyao supports each other for a longer time.

Huang Xiu was shocked.

In the evening, Li Hanyao jumped away and said she would go home.

After breakfast the next day, she came again, followed Huang Xiu and watched him take care of the flowers and plants, and then played chess. In the middle, Huang Xiu suddenly became impatient and put the chess piece down. He couldn't put it down, so he went to the study to find a book to read.

While reading a book, Huang Xiu looked at Li Hanyao with his eyes squintedly and quietly followed her movements.

Li Hanyao raised her little head and looked at the rows of books on the bookshelf, enviously: "Uncle, can I borrow books to read?"

Huang Xiu paused and asked, "Can you recognize the words?"

Li Hanyao said: "Oh."

Huang Xiu asked again: "Have you been to school?"

Li Hanyao said: "No. I just came across a private school when I was in business with my father. I listened outside and learned a lot of words and could read books."

Huang Xiu said unbelievablely: "After listening to it outside the private school for a few days, you can read a book? Can you recognize the words on the book?"

Li Hanyao said: "If you don't recognize me, I'll ask someone." She didn't lie. Of course, I have to ask the words that I don't recognize me, but she was asking her father and mother.

Huang Xiu: “…”

He read Li Hanyao for a while before saying, "If you want to read, just say whatever book you want, I'll help you get it."

So, Li Hanyao picked up a book called "Dajing Fengyun Record". She likes to listen to stories, and can learn history by reading "Dajing Fengyun Record". How convenient is it? Dad once told her this book, and she likes to listen to it. Although Dad is not here now, isn't there a man? She looked at Huang Xiu and smiled.

Huang Xiu helped her take it out and said in surprise: "Can you understand this?"

Li Hanyao said calmly: "Look at it slowly. I heard that the story of the storyteller tells the story of the Four Spirits of Dajing, which is so nice. They all remember it in this book."

Huang Xiu: “…”

You can understand it by reading it slowly?

Soon, he knew what was going on.

Li Hanyao asked him how to pronounce the word, what does this passage mean, and then asked him questions...

Huang Xiu should have been impatient, and he was indeed impatient and disgusted, but he did not drive Li Hanyao out because the questions Li Hanyao asked were not shallow or ridiculous. They either hit the point or were incredible... Huang Xiu saw Li Hanyao's qualifications against the sky, and watched the little girl steal knowledge from him like a thief, or blatantly stealing. What was inconsistent with this qualifications against the sky was that the little girl wrote ugly words, which was really ugly.

Huang Xiu thought: What a pity, you can ask people at any time when you recognize words. No one teaches you how to write well?

He asked Li Hanyao why she loved reading so much.

He thought Li Hanyao could tell some big truths, but Li Hanyao said seriously: "I can recognize the words, and I can write and calculate, and I will be the shopkeeper's wife in the future."

She didn't lie.

The Li family’s big family business is waiting for her to inherit.

Huang Xiu: “…”

Eight days later, Li Hanyao left Banqiao Village.

Because she realized that Huang Xiu could not accept her as a disciple. It would be useless to waste any effort. Let's withdraw first.

This is not to say that she gave up halfway.

She won't give up what she believes in.

Isn’t there an idiom called “playing hard to get”? She is now using “playing hard to get”, withdrawing this year and coming again next year! She has been studying for three or five years without the name of a master and apprentice, and she has the reality of a master and apprentice. He can’t even blame him even if he wants to.

Huang Xiu was a little disappointed when he saw the little girl leaving without warning, but soon returned to his usual peaceful seclusion life.

Accept disciples?

Haven't thought about it.

No matter how smart he is, he will not accept a woman as his disciple.

The following year, the flowers bloomed and Li Hanyao was here again.

This time she stayed in Banqiao Village for ten days.

In the summer of the third year, Li Hanyao came to Banqiao Village again.

I stayed for fifteen days this time.

The fourth autumn, come again...

Huang Xiu saw the terrifying growth rate of the little girl and the evil qualifications. From being idle at the beginning, he passed the time, and finally looking forward to the little girl coming every year, from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, after experiencing inhuman psychological torture, he still did not make up his mind to accept a disciple.

He comforted himself and said, "Why do you have to stick to the title of master and apprentice? After so many years of teaching, there is no name of master and apprentice, and there is also a reality of master and apprentice. This is great. If she really accepts her, but cannot change her destiny, it will make her sad. After all, she cannot enter the imperial examination like a man, and she will get married in two years."

Li Hanyao worked hard for several years but did not touch Huang Xiu, and she had already given up. She thought: "Why have to become a disciple? He has taught me over the years, but he has no name as a master and apprentice, but he already has the reality of a master and apprentice. I should know that I am satisfied. I am a disciple to study. Since he is willing to teach me, I have learned it; if I am obsessed with the title of a master and apprentice, it seems that it is for his fame and status, and my intentions are not pure."
