He called himself a little boy, not someone who called himself a ”little boy” like Ma Junjie. He was unwilling to lower himself to a lower level. This Ma Junjie also didn't want to be at a disadvantage.

The old lady didn't bother with him. On the contrary, she thought that only this kind of child was pleasing to the eyes. She extended her hand to greet him, ”Good child, come over and let me have a look. You look like a well-behaved child.”

After that, he carefully sized up her for a while before smiling at her and said, ”I think she looks a little better than us, Brother Yuan and Little Fu.”

Mother Song looked at him and nodded, ”He is indeed a good child. Ma Zhuang is quite a wonderful person, to have raised such a grandson.”

A group of women surrounded Ma Junjie, chattering at the same time. He was not used to it, but he also did not like it, and his expression was somewhat unhappy. Chu Yuehua saw this and laughed in her heart.

But listening to the old lady's praise, Chu Yuehua's heart skipped a beat as she recalled her agreement with Ma Zhuang, ”Old lady, although a handsome man is born in the countryside, he has read books very well. Right now, even the private school teacher can't teach him. Do you believe that you can test him?”

”How would I take the exam to become a scholar? In the future, I will become a Minister. If word of this gets out in the future, won't I become a laughingstock?” The old lady waved her hand and asked, ”Since you don't like the private school teacher anymore, where can I go to study?”

A glimmer of hope flashed in Ma Junjie's eyes, but his expression was still very respectful. ”I haven't found a suitable academy yet. It's just that many academies aren't easy to enter, so I'll wait here now.”

Listening to her words, the old lady seemed to be deep in thought. Chu Yuehua watched from the side and hurriedly said, ”Old lady, don't we have a clan? ”It would be better to just have Junjie go over to our place to study with our cousins. There aren't many people around him anyway, so we can just give him a hand.”

”Little monkey, if you want to do something, you have to do it yourself.” She extended her hand and pointed at Chu Yuehua's head, but in her heart, she did not know what to do. If this Ma Junjie really had the ability, then in the future, when he embarked on his career, the kindness that she had shown him in her family would be unavoidable.

Currently, the Hou Mansion was already on the decline. Apart from Zhou Zhaoyi, everything else was considered to be done under the shade. If one wanted to develop their family for a long time, then they had to start from the path of an official.

Even if this Ma Junjie had no future prospects, did his family really lack this one?

Looking at the child again, he really did look like he had some intelligence.

Thinking of this, he had a plan in his mind.

After lunch, the old lady would normally have her afternoon nap after lunch. Thus, Chu Yuehua and Chu Yuechan holed up in Du Ruo's pavilion and chatted.

”What?” She really can cause a ruckus! ” Chu Yuehua exclaimed, ”If news of this matter were to spread, how could she meet anyone in her fiancé's house in the future?”

Who would have thought that Chu Xuohua would bring such news this time. ”Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

After Zhou Ruxin was betrothed to the third young master of the justice courts, she went up and down the entire day, angering Lady Deng. Afterwards, she was simply placed under house arrest, and the matters of the wedding were left to others to worry about.
