The next day, he dawdled until noon, then helplessly walked to the study room. He had been in the courtyard for some time, so he knew where the study room was.
The Xiao Family's study room was in the middle of the garden, which was the core area of the Xiao Family. It could not be mentioned in the same breath as the remote garden.
As Lin Wanrong walked, he naturally met countless acquaintances, most of whom were maids.
"Third Brother, I heard that you were transferred to the study room —"
"Third Brother, I'll bring you delicious food later —"
"Third Brother, do you have time tonight? There's a new troupe in the garden. I bought two tickets, let's go to the theater tonight —"
"Third Brother —"
…
Fortunately, Lin Wanrong was already used to this, so he laughed along the way to the study room.
A skinny old teacher was holding a book in his hand. He gently stroked the few strands of white beard on his chin. He was pacing back and forth in the study as he read, "Guan Guan Ju Jiu, in the continent of the river, a fair and graceful lady is the lover of a gentleman."
A fat young man was lying on the table, sleeping soundly. The teacher looked at him several times and shook his head with a wry smile. Obviously, he could not do anything to him.
Hey, there was no Young Master in the Xiao Family. Where did this fat young man come from? Was he the illegitimate child of Lady Xiao?
Lin Wanrong was secretly surprised, and hurriedly stopped a passing maid, "Sister, nice to meet you. I am Lin San, and I have something to ask you."
"You are Lin San?" The maid's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Brother, please say what you want. I will listen to your orders."
Lin Wanrong couldn't help but shiver. All the girls in the Xiao Residence seemed to have a tendency to be in heat.
He pretended not to hear her words and said, "I have just been transferred to the study room to help, so I am not very familiar with the things here. I wonder which young masters and ladies are in the study room?"
The maidservant stared at Lin Wanrong, covered her mouth and laughed, "You've asked the right person. There were not many people in the study room. The Grand Mistress had not come to the study room for several years. With her knowledge, it was more than enough for her to teach these teachers. The Second Miss was still young. She would often come under the orders of the Madam, but she seemed to have gone out recently. As for this Young Cousin, he is here every day. This teacher is most likely here for him. "
Although the maidservant's words were taboo, Lin Wanrong's shrewdness was not exaggerated. In just a few words, he had learned a lot of information. The Grand Mistress was knowledgeable and would never find a teacher. The Second Miss was naughty and mischievous, but she had to come under the orders of the Madam. As for this Young Cousin, he seemed to be an idiot and could not learn anything. Therefore, this teacher was specially hired for him.
When talking about the Young Cousin, the maidservant's eyes were full of disdain. Obviously, this Young Cousin's performance was very unbearable. Lin Wanrong secretly complained in his heart. If he followed this Young Cousin, even the maidservant looked down on him, how could he raise his head in the Xiao Family?
Then, Lin Wanrong learned about this Young Cousin's background from the maidservant. This Young Cousin's surname was Guo, and his name was Wu Chang. He was the nephew of Lady Xiao's maiden family. His father (who was also Lady Xiao's brother) was a county magistrate in a county under Yangzhou. In order to educate his son, he deliberately placed him in this Xiao Fu's courtyard, wanting him to receive a good cultural influence. Of course, no one knew if there was any other purpose.
However, this Young Cousin did not think about poetry and did not like writing. When the teacher was teaching, he would sleep all day long. The Madam and her uncle couldn't do anything about it.
This Young Cousin really did not like to learn. Lin Wanrong complained in his heart, but at the same time, he secretly rejoiced. Although this brat was unbearable, if he had to serve a young master who loved to learn, sit in class all day, and listen to the teacher's nonsense, wouldn't that be asking for Lin Wanrong's life? On the contrary, this stubborn young master, although his performance was very clumsy, following such a young master, swindling, eating, drinking, and playing seemed to be good.
Lin Wanrong's heart gradually opened up, and he "reluctantly said goodbye" to the maidservant sister. Then, he tiptoed into the study. When the teacher saw Lin Wanrong, he strangely glanced at him.
Lin Wanrong smiled and bowed to the teacher, saying, "Hello, teacher. My name is Lin San. I was recently transferred to the study to help out. Just now, I listened to teacher's lecture outside. You are truly erudite and multi-talented. Your knowledge is both ancient and modern. I really admire you. "
The teacher saw that this new assistant was very knowledgeable, and he was very happy in his heart. He nodded and said, "You flatter me, you flatter me."
The Young Cousin turned over, and his saliva flowed all over the table. Then, he yawned and opened his eyes, saying, "Who is making a racket here? Are you not letting people sleep?"
The teacher's face was awkward. Why didn't this Young Cousin give him any face?
Lin Wanrong hurriedly said, "Young Master, Young Master, are you awake? “
The Young Cousin indifferently looked at him and said, "Who are you?"
"Young Master, my name is Lin San. I was just transferred to the study. From now on, I will be following you."
"Huh? You are Lin San. Hmm, not bad. You really are a smart person. "The Young Cousin opened his eyes and carefully looked at him. He was also a bit surprised. Other servants called him Young Cousin, but this Lin San directly called him Young Master when they met for the first time. Don't underestimate this word. The addition of this word meant that the servants didn't treat him as a Young Master. That was a relative of the Xiao Family. This servant named Lin San seemed to be quite understanding. The two words Young Master made him feel comfortable.
Moreover, according to the servants, this Lin San was one of the most popular figures in the Xiao Family. He was handsome, elegant, elegant, and had a way of winning the hearts of women. If he followed her, he would be able to give her some ideas on how to get close to her two cousins. This would increase her hopes of winning the hearts of the two beauties.
"Young Master, Young Master." Lin Wanrong saw that the Young Cousin was staring at him. A proud smile appeared on his face. He seemed to have thought of something good. He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and hurriedly reminded the Young Master.
"Oh, this, Lin San, you will follow me from now on." The Young Cousin said loudly.
"Yes, Young Master." Lin Wanrong said respectfully.
When the teacher saw that the master and servant had finished getting to know each other, he said, "Young Master Guo, let's continue the lesson."
Young Master Guo was in the middle of a good dream and was not in a good mood to be disturbed. Now that he heard the teacher say that he would continue the lesson, he couldn't help but yawn and snort lightly through his nose. The teacher took the money from the Xiao Family, so he turned a blind eye to his attitude. After all, the money was already in his hands.
Lin Wanrong naturally didn't like to listen to any lectures. Anyway, this Young Cousin was already so unbearable. He might as well follow his heart and give him some benefits. In the future, it would be much easier for him to work under him.
"Young Master, today is autumn and the weather is refreshing. Why don't we accompany the teacher and find some inspiration for poetry?" Lin Wanrong made an extremely tempting suggestion.
