"Sister Honghua, Sister Dongmei, thank you for your hard work," Jianchen said softly as he looked at the two girls who were about 18 years old.
The two girls were maids in Changyang Prefecture. They were dedicated to serving Jianchen's daily affairs. After Jianchen lived alone in a room, his mother, Bi Yuntian, specially sent these two maids to serve Jianchen.
Hearing Jianchen's words, the two maids smiled sweetly. One of them said, "Fourth Young Master, you don't have to be so polite. As maids, this is what we should do."
"That's right, Fourth Young Master. You can't say that in the future. If the steward hears you, we'll be severely punished," another maid said.
Jianchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't say this in front of outsiders." Jianchen also understood that the concept of hierarchy in Changyang Prefecture was very strong. As the Fourth Young Master of Changyang Prefecture, if this sentence was heard by outsiders, the two maids might really be punished.
After washing up, Jianchen left his room and walked to his mother's room as usual. His mother's room was not far from his, only a short distance of more than 20 meters.
As soon as he entered the room, Jianchen saw his mother dressing up at the dressing table. Beside her, there were two maids waiting on her.
"Xiang 'er, why are you here so early today?" As soon as she saw Jianchen, Bi Yuntian's face showed a gentle smile. She looked at Jianchen with doting eyes.
Looking at the doting look in Bi Yuntian's eyes, Jianchen's heart completely softened. In his previous life, Jianchen lost his parents when he was young. He didn't know what a mother's love was and had never experienced it. However, since he came here, he truly felt the power of a mother's love. At the same time, in Jianchen's heart, he faintly cherished this hard-won mother's love.
Jianchen came to Bi Yuntian and reached out to touch his stomach. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm hungry!" After last night's exercise, Jianchen's stomach was now a little hungry.
Bi Yuntian reached out to touch Jianchen's head and said with a smile, "Then come with me to the dining hall to eat later."
"Okay!" Jianchen nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face. in his heart, he enjoyed this mother's love.
After a pause, Jianchen opened his mouth again and called, "Mother!"
Bi Yuntian looked at Jianchen with a gentle gaze and said softly, "Xiang 'er, if you have something to say, just say it!"
Jianchen hesitated for a moment and sorted out the thoughts in his mind. Then, he looked at Bi Yuntian and said, "Mother, can you tell me what the outside world is like?"
Hearing this, Bi Yuntian was obviously stunned. Then, she said, "Xiang 'er, are you interested in the outside world?"
"I'm just curious!" Jianchen said.
Bi Yuntian smiled slightly and said, "Xiang 'er, the outside world is very vast and very complicated. It can't be explained in a few words. If you want to know what the outside world is like, it's best to go to the library and read some books." Saying this, Bi Yuntian looked helpless and said, "But Xiang 'er, you don't know how to read. Even if you go to the library, you won't be able to recognize a single word written in the books."
"Mother, then why don't you send someone to teach me how to read?" Jianchen's tone was faintly a little dissatisfied.
Hearing this, Bi Yuntian laughed and said, "Xiang 'er, you're only two years old now. A two-year-old child starting to learn how to read. Mother has never heard of this matter. Moreover, in our Tianyuan Continent, such a thing has never happened. Generally speaking, even the earliest children who start to learn how to read have to wait until they are four or five years old."
Jianchen suddenly understood and said, "Mother, I want to learn how to read now. Can you find someone to teach me?"
Hearing this, Bi Yuntian suddenly froze for a moment. Then, she revealed a happy smile and said, "Xiang 'er, learning how to read is a very difficult thing. It's also very boring. You should know that there are many languages on our continent. It's impossible to learn all of them in a short time. Are you sure you want to start learning how to read now?"
Jianchen nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes!"
Receiving Jianchen's affirmation, the smile on Bi Yuntian's face became even more brilliant. She happily said, "Since Xiang 'er took the initiative to ask, then mother will support you very much." Saying this, Bi Yuntian slightly turned her head and said, "Xiao Liu! Later, go invite the most famous teacher in Lore City to the mansion. Let him teach me, Xiang 'er, how to read! "
"Yes, madam!" The maid who was helping Bi Yuntian comb her hair respectfully replied.
"Xiang 'er, it's getting late. Let's go to the dining hall. Don't starve yourself."
The day quickly passed by. Early the next morning, the teacher that Jianchen's mother, Bi Yuntian, invited for him came to the mansion early and began to teach Jianchen knowledge.
From then on, Jianchen spent almost all of his time during the day seriously learning how to read. Because Jianchen retained the memories of his previous life, his mind was strong. Therefore, it wasn't difficult for him to recognize the words of this new continent. Especially under the careful guidance of someone, it became even easier. Moreover, he had an almost photographic memory, so his learning progress was very fast. In just three months, he had completely learned all of the common words of the continent.
The speed at which Jian Chen learned the language made the teacher sigh in amazement. When his mother, Bi Yuntian, found out that Jian Chen had actually managed to learn the language in a short three months, she couldn't believe it. In the end, she had to personally test herself before she accepted this fact. After all, if one wanted to learn all the common languages on the continent, according to the normal speed, it would take at least one or two years, or even more. Yet Jian Chen had managed to complete the homework that would take others one or two years to complete in a short three months. Without a genius's intelligence, it was simply impossible to accomplish this.
This matter was quickly found out by Jianchen's father, Changyang Ba. Changyang Ba even personally came to Jianchen's room to visit him.
"Xiang 'er, you have worked hard during this period of time. Next, you should relax. Father can also give you a reward. As the reward for your hard work in learning these few months, I don't know what reward Xiang' er would like." Changyang Ba looked at Jianchen with a smile and said softly. Having such a genius son, he felt very proud in his heart. Naturally, he was more concerned about Jianchen.
Hearing this, Jianchen's eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and said, "Father, why don't you let me go to the library to read some books? At the same time, I can also increase my knowledge."
Changyang Ba's eyes lit up. Looking at Jianchen's eyes with a trace of gratification, he laughed and said, "Of course, this is not a problem. Xiang 'er, you have such a motivated heart. Father is also happy for you. Now, I approve, you can freely enter the library in the future."
"Thank you, father!" Jianchen's face also showed a trace of a happy smile. Being able to enter the library, for Jianchen, was also a matter worth being happy about. After all, during this period of time, he slowly understood that the Book Collection Pavilion wasn't a place that anyone could casually enter. Only direct descendants who were six years old and above had the qualifications to enter. Of course, if they had the permission of the Patriarch, then it didn't count.
After that, Changyang Ba asked about Jianchen's well-being and left here. When Changyang Ba left, Jianchen could not sit still. He immediately went out of the room and walked towards the library. After all, in these three months, he worked hard to learn how to read. Everything was just to be able to enter the library to read detailed books about this world. Although there were some information about this world, Jianchen could also ask his mother. After all, the records in books were more detailed and comprehensive. Therefore, Jianchen valued these books so much.
Jianchen had already inquired about the location of the library. It was in a tall tower in the family's backyard. When Jianchen stepped into the backyard, he immediately felt that there were a large number of experts hidden in the surroundings. Pairs of eyes like poisonous snakes fell on him one after another.
Jianchen held his head high and walked towards the tall tower in front of him as if he did not feel anything. If people knew that he could feel the gazes of those hidden in the dark, he was afraid that it would immediately bring him a series of troubles. After all, his current appearance was only that of a two-year-old child, and he did not know the slightest bit of martial arts.
Although there were many direct descendants in Changyang Prefecture, there were very few people coming and going to the library. Therefore, Jianchen did not see anyone else along the way except for a few guards in charge of standing guard.
Soon, he arrived at the sect of the tall tower. Jianchen stopped and raised his head slightly. He saw that there was a very large plaque hanging on the entrance of the tower. On it, there were three large words written in bold calligraphy: "Library". In front of the entrance, there were two guards guarding. However, Jianchen could tell that these guards were not weak at a glance.
Jianchen walked straight to the entrance of the tower. He pushed the door open and directly walked in. The two guards standing guard at the entrance did not stop him. They were like wooden carvings, standing there straight and motionless. When they saw Jianchen, they did not even greet him.
When Jianchen entered the tower, he was greeted by a long corridor. At this moment, it was clearly daytime outside and the sun was shining brightly. However, in the corridor, it was incomparably dark. On the walls on both sides of the corridor, there were fist-sized luminous pearls hanging at intervals to provide light.
This corridor was very long. It was estimated that it ran through the entire tower and divided the tower into two areas. When Jianchen came to the end of the corridor, he encountered two forks.
"Fourth Young Master, the family head has ordered that you have the authority to enter the left area." At this moment, an old voice sounded. Following the voice, a tall figure gradually emerged from the darkness.
Hearing the voice, Jianchen subconsciously turned his head to look. Although the light here was very dim, he could clearly see the appearance of the person in the darkness. He saw that it was a very old man with a head full of white hair. His old face was covered with wrinkles. He wore an old gray robe and his eyes were ordinary. He gave people the impression that he was a very ordinary old man.
