Xia Shang had heard of the student's vicious reputation, but he had never thought that he was so unruly, and the whip was so fast as lightning!
Fortunately, it was in the crowd.
Xia Shang didn't know how to fight, but he knew how to hide, and kept going to crowded places.
Even though Sai Jiangnan was unruly, she didn't dare to act recklessly on the street. She was worried that she would hit the wrong person, so she had to retract the whip first and chase into the crowd to pull Xia Shang out.
I thought Xia Shang would run back, but I didn't expect that as soon as Sai Jiangnan entered the crowd, Xia Shang rushed over from the side and grabbed her wrist.
The whip is powerful only when it is far away, and it cannot be used in close combat. Moreover, Sai Jiangnan can only swing the whip a few times, which is not considered to be martial arts, and her physique is not as good as men. Once Xia Shang grabbed her, she couldn't get away.
This young lady from the Sai family asked for it. In the past, everyone she met would stay away from her. No one dared to provoke her, so she became more and more bold. When she chased into the crowd, she had no precautions at all, so Xia Shang easily succeeded.
The little girl had a hot temper. She didn't know how to retreat after being caught. Without saying a word, she raised her hand to slap Xia Shang.
Xia Shang grabbed Sai Jiangnan's other hand again.
Not to mention, the little girl's hands were very tender, like tofu brain, and you couldn't feel the bones when you pinched them. Xia Shang could pinch the two small hands tightly with one hand.
Although the small hands were beautiful, she was not likable.
Sai Jiangnan's behavior had already annoyed Xia Shang, and he raised the ruler, and it seemed that he was going to hit her palm!
"You dare!" Sai Jiangnan screamed, her bright eyes almost popped out.
She didn't believe it!
No one dared to hit her!
Not even one!
But...
"Snap!"
The sound of the ruler hitting the tender flesh was like hitting the calm water, crisp and pleasant, and extremely clear.
The people around were also stunned.
Miss Sai was beaten!
She was beaten hard!
There was really no mercy at all, and the other party was not treated as a girl.
This time, it was real!
Sai Jiangnan swore that he had never felt such pain in his life. He felt that there was fire burning in the palm of his hand. A square red mark appeared on the white and tender palm in an instant, which hurt terribly.
Tears rolled out immediately, and the straight nose wrinkled like a caterpillar. He sucked hard, but he couldn't control the snot. The flat little mouth trembled, but the voice was sharp: "I will fight you!"
"Snap!"
Another time!
Another time!
This pale-faced boy hit people without any expression, without making a sound, but the strength of the beating was not small!
Swollen!
The little hand is swollen!
It was swollen after two hits!
"Try to yell again." Xia Shang said calmly.
Although Sai Jiangnan was furious, she was really scared by the two hits. The boy in front of her looked handsome, weak and gentle, but he spoke without expression, like a dead man, with a gloomy face that was a bit creepy. The key point was that he was unreasonable in hitting people. If you go against him now, you will definitely get hit again.
A good man will not suffer a loss in front of him. Sai Jiangnan learned his lesson, but the pain in the palm of his hand was unbearable. He felt wronged and tears fell one after another. He didn't know what to do.
"Xiao Cui... Xiao Cui, save me."
Xiao Cui?
Xiao Cui had been dumbfounded on the side. She was just a ten-year-old girl. Where had she seen such a cruel scholar? In the past, he relied on the lady to show off his power. Now even the lady was restrained. How could she dare to say a word?
"Xiao Cui... Xiao Cui..."
"Xiao Xiao Xiao...Miss, I...I'll go call the Madam."
The little girl turned around and ran away.
"Come back!" Sai Jiangnan was so anxious that she stamped her feet and her face turned red.
"Miss Sai, right?" Xia Shang spoke again.
"What do you want?"
"You are so competitive with me just to drive me away, right?"
Sai Jiangnan turned her face away.
"It's easy for me to leave, so I'll leave."
"Really?!"
"Of course, do you really think that I came to the Sai Mansion to teach a willful lady like you? Anyway, I have already received a month's salary, and I am happy to let me go."
As he said that, Xia Shang let go of Sai Jiangnan, then straightened his clothes and turned around and left.
Sai Jiangnan thought it was wrong, how could he let him go so easily? How to account for the two hits he had just made? How to account for the wages he gave for free? Wouldn't it be taken advantage of for nothing if he left?
"Wait a minute!"
"What?"
"Just now...just now I was wrong, please...please don't take offense, sir."
Xia Shang laughed: "Wow, you're so obedient so soon? Are you waiting for me to relax my vigilance and then take the opportunity to retaliate? Sir, let me tell you, I dare to teach you because I'm not afraid of your tricks. You'd better be obedient in the future, otherwise I won't know the severity of my punishment."
...
The bamboo forest cottage in Sai Mansion is a private school specially prepared for Miss Sai. There is a small pond surrounded by green bamboos, with lotus flowers in the pond and koi in the water. The courtyard paved with bluestone is connected to the unique cottage by a winding path.
The poems and paintings in the cottage are displayed in an orderly manner, either hanging on the wall, or sealed, or on a display stand. The strong smell of books adds a bit of elegance to the whole cottage. The inner room is a sandalwood desk, which is very valuable. The pens, ink, paper and inkstone placed on it are also top-quality, but they have been stored for too long, stained with a layer of gray and a layer of waxy yellow.
The outer room is ventilated on all sides, with two desks, one large and one small, on which the popular documents of the Hua Dynasty are neatly stacked.
This classroom was originally carefully arranged for the teacher and students, but at this time, there is only the teacher.
The playful students are still by the small pond, seemingly feeding the fish in the water, but in fact they are whispering with the little maid beside them.
"Look at that guy, I don't know what he is doing?"
"Miss, this is fine. Let's have our fun and don't care about him."
"That's what you said, but he made money from our family for no reason, I feel unhappy when I think about it."
"Then why don't you whip him with a whip so that he dare not come!"
"Didn't I tell you that he has taken a month's salary from my family? I beat him just what he wants, and he just took the opportunity to leave. It's our fault, and we can't get the salary back."
"Can't we just not ask for the money?"
"No! I can't suffer this loss in silence. I won't say anything if I beat him, and he wants to make money from my family, no way!"
"I can't beat him, I can't chase him away, what should I do?"
Sai Jiangnan thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Call mother here immediately."
"Well?"
"Go quickly!"
"Oh."
After receiving the order, Xiao Cui left quietly.
Sai Jiangnan was left alone, returning to the Xiaozhu Academy without panic or dissatisfaction, and sitting quietly in his seat without saying a word.
Xia Shang was very focused on what he was doing, which aroused Sai Jiangnan's curiosity. He looked over and knew what Xia Shang was writing, but he couldn't see clearly what he was writing.
Not long after, Mrs. Sai came slowly accompanied by Xiao Cui, with a graceful demeanor, and her steps were a scene.
"Sir, how is my daughter learning today?"
Mrs. Sai asked from a distance.
Sai Jiangnan perked up and was about to say that this gentleman didn't say a word and didn't teach anything at all. Unexpectedly, Xia Shang got ahead of him.
"Madam, Miss Sai is talented, hardworking and studious. She is really a rare talent!"
