I Am Stupid, Who Do I Fear? Chapter 22

Chapter 22 The Emperor is my background boss.

Zhong Langyu hurriedly argued: “No, no, how can Er Chen dare to bully her? It was she who accidentally hurt herself when she was practicing martial arts.”

When Zhong Yehan heard this, he felt refreshed, practicing martial arts? How can a fool practice martial arts?

“Zhen is warning you, you are not to bully her. If Zhen knows that you're bullying Xi Ruoxuan, Zhen will punish you heavily. Do you understand?” Zhong Yehan said angrily, his voice cold.

Zhong Langyu's heart was aggrieved ah: “Er Chen doesn't dare, Er Chen knows.”

Xi Ruoxuan stood on the side giggling. Although she was giggling, in fact, she was really happy, with the Emperor as her backstage boss, my power is more than enough.

Zhong Yehan looked at her: “Come here! Let this father see, where's the injury?”

Xi Ruoxuan hehe'd smiling: “Father, just now Xuanxuan hit her head with the stick, but right now it doesn't hurt anymore.”

Zhong Yehan looked at her affectionately: “Not hurt is good. Yesterday, when you fought with Hu Feiying's wife did you get hurt?”

Xi Ruoxuan shook her head: “No, Xuanxuan did not fight yesterday, it was that woman who wanted Xuanxuan to drink milk, bur Xuanxuan did not want, so she began chasing me around, really fun.”

Zhong Yehan thought, this was all messy: “Not hurt is also good. Zhen brought a gentleman today. Zhen thinks it's time for you to learn to read.” Zhong Yehan said pointing to the middle-aged man standing on the side, “His name is Xu Nian, and he's a scholar. Zhen specifically asked him to be your teacher.”

Xi Ruoxuan looked at Xu Nian, seeing that this person wasn't handsome, but genteel appearance, she quickly waved her hands: “Xuanxuan does not want to learn to read, Xuanxuan wants to learn how to move a stick.”

Zhong Yehan said patiently: “You have to learn words, practicing with a stick is for men to learn, Xuanxuan should not learn it, oh!”

“Don't want, Xuanxuan wants to learn sticks, learn sticks!” This att.i.tude of Xi Ruoxuan's was extremely firm.

Zhong Yehan had no other way to talk to this fool: “This child, ok, Zhen will go back to the military department and invite a master.”

Zhong Yehan had just finished speaking when Xu Nian held up a fist: “Emperor, this official also knows the stick method. Not only can he teach Niangniang literacy, he can also teach her martial arts.”

Zhong Yehan had some surprised: “O! Beloved official also knows martial arts ah! Alright! In the future Ruoxuan's learning will be left to you.”

Xu Nian nodded: “This subject will do his best to teach Niangniang.”

Xi Ruoxuan wanted to test this Xu Nian's martial arts, but was afraid to show her feet. Forget it, he can teach how much he wants! If I'm not satisfied, I'll just throw him away in the future.

Zhong Yehan asked Zhong Langyu about some daily things, then finally said, ” Shaocheng City has been flooded recently. The treasury's silver is a little short of silver, so the monthly salary this month will be reduced by 30%, but after this battle, it will go on as before.”

Zhong Langyu hurriedly said: “Father, what are you are saying, the country is in trouble, how can Er Chen and the officials stand by and spend the silver? Father doesn't have to worry about this matter, Er Chen will mobilize the whole government together to reduce the spending on food and clothing to save a little money to help the victims in the south.”

Zhong Yehan nodded: “It is rare for you to be filial, but some officials have embezzled the relief funds without conscience. Zhen has already asked Ximen Dehao to look into it. No matter who is involved this time, Zhen will punish them this time!”

Zhong Langyu froze, then immediately bowed: “Fu Huang is wise. Those who dare to misappropriate the relief funds are also too abominable. They should be brought to justice, and never condoned!”

Zhong Yehan said some more trivial things and then went back to the Palace. Zhong Langyu originally wanted to eat with his father, but when he did not agree, Zhong Langyu did not dare to say more, so he only complied with his father's wishes.

Zhong Yehan returned to the palace, leaving Xu Nian to teach Xi Ruoxuan. Zhong Yehan thought, from the performance of Xi Ruoxuan that day, he saw that she was not too stupid. Although her mind was a bit unclear, she may return to a normal person after training, even if it wasn't possible, as long as it had a little bit of effect, it was also good. So he especially looked for Xu Nian, made him become her teacher, hoping for a miracle; if it really made Xi Ruoxuan return to normal, it was also a great blessing to Tianqing Khan, and it would also contribute greatly towards the peace between the two countries.

Xi Ruoxuan naturally had to pretend to be very stupid and naive in front of Xu Nian: “Master, when will you teach me how to twist sticks?”

Xu Nian naturally received an order from the Emperor to mainly develop her IQ, teaching her martial arts was just a minor thing: “O! Niangniang, to learn the stick method, you must first learn to read the law book on sticks. To understand the law book on sticks, you must be literate, so I must first teach the Niangniang literacy.”

Xi Ruoxuan said in her heart, learn your head oh! I graduated from college, and these things which should be learned, I've naturally already learned them, what do you still want me to learn? Although Xi Ruoxuan thought so in her heart, her mouth said “No, I don't want to learn how to write, I want to learn to the stick method.”

Xu Nian hehe'd smiling: “Come! Today, you only need to learn a word, then I'll teach Niangniang the stick method, what do you think?”

Xi Ruoxuan blinked, seeming as if she was hesitating. In fact, her heart had long been overjoyed. I know at least two thousand words. If each word can be replaced with a stick trick, then will I not become a G.o.d stick? Oh, no! The words ‘G.o.d stick' is not good enough. It should be called the king of sticks.

Xu Nian saw that Xi Ruoxuan did not answer, and began to take out the paper and the ink brush: “Okay, today I'll teach you literacy first, the person character. The wording is simple, you just have to write from left to right on the line”, and finished by writing a very intense character on the paper. “Okay, then Niangniang have to go.”

Your head, since kindergarten, this old lady could already write it, do I still need you to teach me? Xi Ruoxuan didn't want to write but remembered what he had just said now, every time she wrote a word, he would teach her a trick. She reiterated: “After I write it, will you teach me a move?”

“This servant won't dare deceive Niangniang.”

Xi Ruoxuan picked up the pen. Originally writing the character for person was really easy for her, but she couldn't expose herself so quickly. If she wrote it easily, then the other side would doubt her IQ. She had to pretend that it wasn't easy to write. Oh! This word was too easy too ah.

Xi Ruoxuan deliberately used a trembling hand to make a horizontal line on the paper.

Xu Nian nodded: “Niangniang, you see when you're holding the brush, your hands must be stable, the point should be heavy, then turn right across, this time lightly, then finally you pause. Niangniang should try again.”

Xi Ruoxuan once again spent a lot of effort to write the character on the paper, but Xu Nian was still not satisfied. Finally after five tries, Xi Ruoxuan reluctantly wrote the word a bit like it was supposed to be. Xu Nian was very satisfied, he was prepared to call out the second character, but Ruoxuan quit: “Didn't you you say after writing this you will teach me the stick method, how come your words don't hold ah?”

Xu Nian secretly thought, that although this w.a.n.gfei had some problems in her head, she was quite good: “Alright! Then I'll first teach you how to do the Huashan split first….”

After a tiring day, Xi Ruoxuan finally lay in bed. Thinking about it, Xu Nian's martial arts weren't bad. Although she couldn't say that he was the best in the world, it was still more than enough to teach her martial arts. After all, there were many differences between modern martial arts and ancient martial arts. To achieve integration, then her martial arts had to advance by leaps and bounds. If she combine the two together, she may be invincible all over the world!
