Chapter 10: A Girl Comes to Pleasure (Part 2)

Zhao Xin could not guess at this moment that this little girl was probably the Ran family lady whom her mother liked. Ran Min, who was famous for her talent, just didn't expect that the first time she met was in such a mess.

He glanced at Ran Min again, and Zhao Xin's face turned red, and a thought flashed in his heart. If he really married this lady of the Ran family as his mother said, it wouldn't seem like a bad thing.

Ran Min looked at Zhao Xin's outfit and seemed to have guessed his identity. Seeing Zhao Xin's eyes dodging, she already knew it in her heart and snorted, "You are that young master Zhao, you are as naughty as what the outside world said. When she was a guest at someone's house, she climbed over the wall and entered the inner courtyard. I think if Zhao Neishi knew about it, it would definitely cause you a lot of hardship."

Zhao Xintian was not afraid of being afraid, so he would not be afraid of her threatening him. His expression had returned to normal in a blink of an eye. He smiled and didn't care. His eyes turned to the cat in her arms. Seeing that the cat was snow-white all over, his eyes were as crystal clear as gems, and he was so cute, so he stretched out his hand to touch the cat.

The cat was not grateful. Seeing Zhao Xin coming, he arched his body vigilantly and stretched his claws and scratched it out. Fortunately, Zhao Xin's reaction was also very fast. He quickly stopped his hand, but he was not caught and said, "You are so fierce, and you are not afraid of it scratching you."

This era is not like later generations. Most cats are wild and are used to catch mice. Few people raise cats as pets. So when Zhao Xin saw Ran Min so gentle to a cat, he couldn't help but ask strangely.

"You don't have to worry about it." Ran Min gently patted the white cat's back with her hand and gently sootheed it.

Seeing that Zhao Xin was still trying to give up on Xiaobai, Ran Min glanced at Zhao Xin and said unhappily, "I, Xiaobai, are very fierce. Don't mess with it. If you are scratched, don't blame me."

Zhao Xin grinned and smiled brightly, saying, "Don't worry, I'm good at it, this little thing can't hurt me."

Ran Min said "cut" and said disapprovingly, "Is it amazing? I think it's just average."

This aroused the arrogance in Zhao Xin's heart. He has been extremely talented since childhood and is well-versed in things that are far more proficient than his peers. Now he is not looked down upon by a girl younger than himself. He wrinkled his nose and said unconvincedly, "I know astronomy and geography, and I am proficient in military arts and rituals. You say that I am not as good as you, let's compete."

Ran Min was stunned when she heard this, stared at Zhao Xin with wide eyes and looked at him in surprise, with an indescribable expression.

Seeing that Zhao Xin didn't look like he was lying, Ran Min then said skeptically; "Is it true or false?"

"If you don't believe me, just ask." Zhao Xin raised his chest and said with confidence.

"Just ask, Duke Zhuang of Zheng and his mother Wu Jiang got into evil, drove Wu Jiang out of the capital, and put him under house arrest in Cheng Ying, saying: "It's not as good as Huangquan, and there's no meeting! But Wu Jiang is his mother after all, and Duke Zhuang of Zheng soon regrets it. He missed his mother and was unwilling to break his oath. Do you know how he accomplished both ways?"

"This is simple." Zhao Xin said suddenly; "This is Yin Yuan in "Zuo Zhuan". I read it when I was eight years old. At that time, Duke Zhuang of Zheng had a minister named Ying Kao Shu. He saw through Duke Zhuang of Zheng and gave him an idea. He dug a tunnel underground to meet his mother. This way, he did not violate the oath, but also fulfilled his filial piety as a son, and great kindness!"

"What is adapting to the time?"

"Lao Tzu said: Be the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

Ran Min asked several rare questions with a look on her face, and Zhao Xin was very proud of her answers. Her eyes looked at Zhao Xin and she couldn't help but look strange, and she said, "You know a lot, it seems that you really didn't brag."

Zhao Xin was very happy when she received her praise, and raised her head and smiled, "That's natural. Who am I? How can I get this little thing?"

Ran Min gently slaps to the ground and spat, "I just praised you for your tail, and my tail is raised to the sky. It turns out that it is the child's character."

"You..." Zhao Xin looked speechless and pointed at Ran Min without knowing what to say, so he had to pant and gasp, his face full of depression.

Seeing that he looked interesting, Ran Min couldn't help but burst out laughing. After this, she thought Zhao Xin was a very interesting person, so she looked at him a few more times and found that Zhao Xin was still very outstanding. Although she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, she was much taller than her peers, with a pretty face and a handsome boy. She couldn't help but move slightly.

The two of them stared at each other with big eyes, but heard a burst of hearty laughter not far away.

"I also told you where Nephew Zhao Xian went, so it was here."

Looking in the voice, a middle-aged fat man was walking over with a beautiful woman with a smile. Zhao Xin had met Ran Bian before, but recognized him and hurried forward to salute, "See Uncle Shi, Aunt."

"Get up quickly, there is no need to be polite." Ran Bian smiled and helped Zhao Xin up and down, looked him up and down, nodded secretly, thinking that his wife had a good attitude, and this young man was much more pleasing to the eyes than the previous Meng Renzi.

Mrs. Ran looked at Zhao Xin with a smile and asked, "I just saw that my nephew and my daughter were having a very speculative conversation. I don't know what you are talking about. By the way, I didn't hear the people say that you have entered the inner house, which is strange."

Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that he had not yet explained why he appeared in the inner courtyard. He could not tell her truthfully that he had sneaked in and wanted to see your daughter.

Just as he was thinking about how to say something, Ran Min over there was already speaking first; "That's right, Xiaobai climbed up the tree disobediently, and I was anxious and shouted. It happened that Mr. Zhao was opposite the wall. When he heard the shout, he climbed over the wall and helped me carry Xiaobai. I was just thanking him."

Mrs. Ran nodded and glanced at Zhao Xin beside her. She was still a little confused, but she didn't plan to continue asking. She just pulled her daughter to the side and whispered, "How about it, how about Mr. Zhao this time."

Ran Min couldn't help but blush when she heard this, and she glanced at her mother with a shy look. When she saw Zhao Xin talking to her father, she listened to him with her ears intently. Suddenly, she realized that this kid had good martial arts skills and his hearing must be extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Ran Min glared at Zhao Xin fiercely and raised her voice and said, "Young Master Zhao."

"Ah?" Zhao Xin turned around in shock.

A sweet smile appeared on Ran Min's little face, "Didn't you just say that your master wants to teach you homework? It's getting late now. If you don't leave, you may be hit by a board again."

Zhao Xin was stunned, and then saw Ran Min's narrow eyes, and immediately understood that she was driving him away. He could not bear this shame, so he said goodbye to Ran Bian and his wife according to her words. Ran Bian said with some regret, "I originally wanted to keep my nephew for dinner, but respecting the teacher and the Tao is a big deal. The nephew should go back quickly. Alas, it's strange that I am plaguing today with mundane affairs. Next time I have the chance, I must come to the humble house to gather."

Zhao Xin was polite and then retreated.

Ran Bian looked at Zhao Xin's back with a smile and turned to ask his daughter: "Min'er, this time Zhao Xin still makes your sense. I think your attitude towards him is much better than others."

Ran Min shook her head and said, "Father, I have said many times. I am still young and want to serve my parents. I don't want to get married so early."

"You..." Ran Bian couldn't help but get angry and pointed at his daughter's nose.

"You are almost thirteen years old, so you are still young. Look at your playmates and besties, not all of them got married, but you just refuse. If you haven't left the house after fifteen, that's a shameful thing. Where will your father, my old face be put?"

Ran Min snorted, turned her head and said, "Even if I want to marry, I still want to marry someone in thousands. If I force me to marry someone I don't like at all, what's the difference between that and death? Father, why force me to do it?"

"Rareless. Marriage is originally the words of the matchmaker by the parents' orders, so how can you make trouble?"

"I'm not." Ran Min raised her head and said stubbornly.

"You...you...you..." Ran Bian was so angry that she shivered. Mrs. Ran hurriedly came up to persuade her to fight. Fortunately, Ran Bian sucked all the anger on her. "It was you who spoiled her every day that she developed her arrogant temperament today. Look at what her mind was full of thoughts and what bastards she said."

After saying that, Ran Bian shook his sleeves and left angrily. Mrs. Ran sighed at her daughter, and turned around and left. Only Ran Min was left in the room.
