Chapter 20 - 20 Studying III (1/2)
Hong er POV
I do my daily routine, wake up, read a book, train with father, and now I'm on my way to meet my literature teacher. I went to the library and saw a young man with light blue hanfu with cloud pattern on his sleeves sitting on a chair. Wow, what a handsome guy. There are stacks of books on his table, maybe that is what he is going to teach me. I went to him and greet him.
Hong er: ” Greeting to Lan laoshi, I'm the Di daughter of Great General Xu, Xu Feihong.” ( Di daughter= legitimate daughter)
Lan Qingshan: ” Nice to meet you Miss Xu, my name is Lan Qingshan. From now on, I will be your new literature teacher. Now let's start our lesson, should we?”
Hong er: ” Y-yes”
I don't know why, Lan laoshi is the scariest human I've ever met.

3 hours later*
As I thought, he is scarier than father when he is teaching. He never smiled at me like any other people. Maybe he thinks that I'm ugly. He made me memorize 50 poems in 1 hour. I'm just like. And for 2 hours, he was teaching me math that I have never heard or seen before. Thank god I can learn it quickly. I was curious just what kind of math is that so I went to ask him.
Hong er: ” Uhhmm, Lan laoshi, can I ask you something?”
Lan Qingshan: ” Yes, Miss Xu.”
Hong er: ” Why have I never seen this math before?”
Lan Qingshan: ” Ahh, you are quite sharp My Lady. This is the newly founded mathematics from Lan Academy.”
My jaw dropped.
Hong er: ” T-then it means…”
Lan Qingshan: ” Yes, it is what you think it is. This is the lesson for the 12th grade.”
Hong er: ” B-but I am only in 3rd grade.”
Lan Qingshan: ” There is no excuses, I only teaches the best of the best. I don't want a stupid student that can't learn quickly. Then I'll excuse myself Miss Xu. I hope you still remember what I taught you when we meet 3 days later.”
Lan laoshi had left before I could open my mouth.
Hong er: ” B-but I am only 7 years old..”
I went to mother's study room like usual and practice my magic. Then I ate dinner and reviewed what I have learned before I go to sleep.

Lan Qingshan: ' That Miss Xu is better than I thought. I thought that she was a spoiled young miss when Madam Xu ask me to teach her. Hmm, her ability is very outstanding, even better than my students in my academy. I should teach her harder so I can show off to that arrogant Lu young master.”
Hong er POV
I started to get used to my daily routine and I'm getting excited for today's lesson. I always like to pick herb when I was living with granny. I know some herbs but I don't know the names, ironic right?
I went to our residence's infirmary, wow the racks that keep the herbs are amazing. It had names on every drawer boxes. I looked around with amazement, I didn't realize there was someone looking at me. ” Hey! Who are you?”
I turned around and saw a girl around my age glaring at me. I realized that I entered the infirmary without knocking.
Hong er: ” I'm sorry, I forgot to knock. I am the Di daughter of the Great General Xu, Xu Feihong. And you are?”
The girl: ” I am…”
Before she could say her name, an old man closed her mouth. He looks fl.u.s.tered.
Shu Huatuo: ” I deeply apologize for my granddaughter's behavior. My name is Shu Huatuo and I'm Xu residence's physician. Young miss had met me before, right?”
