"It’s no wonder that Miss Lici is so good at arithtic. I hear it was taught by the Clan Leader himself."
Wang Shouzhe’s face flushed, he couldn’t afford such a student.
"Not only is Miss Lici good at arithtic, but she is also highly regarded by the Clan Leader, who has sent her to oversee the major affairs of Xingsheng Farm. It shows how high her status is in the family, doesn’t it?"
Overseeing major affairs? Wang Shouzhe was dumbfounded. When did I appoint her to oversee major affairs? Could it be that I have dentia?
Right, I sent you to suffer hardships, and here you are flaunting your authority.
"The Clan Leader is indeed good at recognizing talents. Our Wang Family is set to prosper."
The tenant farrs’ children, or mbers of the Wang Family’s branches, began to flatter Wang Lici lavishly, bombarding her with praise.
They made Wang Lici feel ecstatic, as if she was floating in the clouds. Lying on that Master’s Chair, she lay like a puddle of soft mud, with a big chicken leg in her mouth, saying, "I’m flattered, truly flattered. It’s all thanks to Uncle Four’s usual guidance and teachings."
This...
Wang Shouzhe couldn’t bear to listen any longer. Did I usually guide and teach you like this? It’s , your Uncle Four, who should truly feel ’flattered’!
"By the way, before I set out, Uncle Four repeatedly reminded , ’Lici, you must study hard and do your howork diligently.’ My expression suddenly turned serious, ’I, Wang Lici, am deeply anticipated and beloved by Uncle Four, and I absolutely cannot be careless with my daily assignnts.’
"Miss Lici really is diligent, her future prospects are limitless."
"Miss, which piece are we reading today?" asked a cautious girl from the Wang Family branches.
?
Wang Shouzhe’s steps halted again, and a warm feeling of comfort flowed through his heart. Our family’s big girl, although lazy and carefree, and thick-skinned.
But in the end, she still took his words to heart. Ultimately, she knows that she has to study diligently every day.
"Let’s read the eternal classic ’Clan Leader’s Words’, a famous piece by a wise Clan Leader of a generation. It’s said to be beneficial for managing the family. In the future, this lady is going to take on the great responsibilities of the family, after all."
Wang Shouzhe secretly nodded. This piece is not bad, it contains many wise sayings and it’s a model for managing family ethos. It looks like the big girl still has so ambition.
Then, that girl from the Wang Family branches started reading aloud, "The Clan Leader says, governing a big clan is like cooking small fish... The Clan Leader says: Marry a wise wife, as it’s said, ’The husband is the outline of the wife, and the wife is the outline of the child...’"
Not bad, not bad!
Wang Shouzhe nodded twice, but suddenly felt sothing was off. Why did the voices sound odd?
Then he peeked and saw that the girl from the Wang Family branches was reading while nodding her head, while the big girl Wang Lici was half-closing her eyes, listening while gnawing on a chicken leg, occasionally pretending to nod her head. And as she listened, she fell asleep holding the chicken leg...
Asleep, she occasionally took a bite of the chicken leg, smiling silly and contentedly. It seed this life couldn’t be more carefree and leisurely.
Wang Shouzhe stood there, feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him on a hot sumr day, chilling him from head to toe.
Studying diligently!
This is what Wang Lici calls studying diligently!
Is this child still wanted?
Can’t afford to keep her. Send her to the mines.
Wang Shouzhe felt that if he continued to let Wang Lici wander in front of him, it would shorten his lifespan.
He really couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
Wang Shouzhe walked out from beside the thatched cottage with his hands behind his back, heading toward the pavilion.
The girl who was reading had sharp eyes, she seed to have seen Wang Shouzhe before. Her face changed color imdiately, hurriedly approaching to greet him, "Wang Juan greets the Clan Leader."
The other branch mbers and young people from tenant families were dumbfounded when they heard the Clan Leader had arrived, rushing forward to pay their respects, "Greetings to the Clan Leader."
"All rise." Wang Shouzhe said warmly, "I’m just here to see this child Lici. Oh, why is this child asleep so early in the morning?"
Everyone’s faces turned pale, and they didn’t dare say a word.
Wang Juan’s face turned pale, she spoke in a trembling low voice, "Miss, Miss Lici stayed up too late studying last night. She was also entrusted by the Spirit Field tenant farrs this morning to catch Spirit Rats, she might be too exhausted."
"Your na is Wang Juan, you know ?" Wang Shouzhe asked noncommittally.
"Replying, replying to the Clan Leader." Wang Juan replied honestly, "I saw you before at the Clan Academy."
Clan Academy.
Hmm, it’s the internal school of the Wang Family. Besides the family descendants, the children of Household Generals, and more outstanding branch mbers are all able to study at the Clan Academy. Alternatively, currently, most of the students at the Clan Academy are branch mbers, while the direct and lineage mbers, how many are there in total?
The children of the branch mbers, once they’ve learned sothing, many of them will join the various industries of the Wang Family and beco the backbone. Those with outstanding abilities, along with age and experience, gradually beco stewards, chief stewards, and so forth.
"Hmm, you study well, you must have put in a lot of effort. Do a good job, as the family develops, various aspects all need talent." Wang Shouzhe nodded and praised. For a family to develop, talent is indispensable.
To beco a core elite, having culture is essential. You can’t expect soone who barely knows a few characters to take on the role of steward or chief steward, right?
Being praised and rembered by the Clan Leader made Wang Juan’s cheeks flush with excitent. She quickly thanked him again, "Wang Juan will definitely work hard."
Then, Wang Shouzhe strolled over to Wang Lici.
"Awoo~~" Little Brain Axe Hua Hua, who had never seen Wang Shouzhe, instinctively felt from its Fierce Beast sense that this human was very dangerous and guarded Lici in front of it.
