The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 366: Brother Pit Scum_3

Gu Jiao’s small body trembled.

What kind of child is this, so vicious?!

I thought you could, like a normal child, make a normal friend, it was indeed me being naive——

Little monk’s aesthetics isn’t quite the same as normal people, his aesthetics was biased by his master and then he biased the aesthetics of a few little monks in the temple.

For example, red birthmarks that ordinary people can’t accept just happened to grow on the aesthetics of little monk and the few little monks.

The same goes for these fish.

Not only do they look obedient, but their eyes are fierce. However, they have a layer of gold scales on their heads, glittering under the sunlight, making little monk obsessed.

It was for these cute fish that little monk initiated a conversation with a child for the first time at Guozijian.

Of course, they were not piranhas, it was just a tall tale from the children. They were just ordinary freshwater fish, but they were not varieties from the Zhan Country, but were imported from the Liang Country long distance, and were very precious.

Little Xu Zhuzhu didn’t mention all these things, he didn’t understand it either.

“Jiaojiao, can I keep them?” little monk asked Gu Jiao.

He was a sensible and polite child. Before keeping a pet, he would always seek Jiaojiao’s consent first.

Gu Jiao nodded her head: “You can, but you have to feed them and change the water yourself. Also, we have no experience in keeping fish, so we can’t help you with that.”

“Yes!” little monk obediently nodded his head, “Jiaojiao rest assured, I will learn more from little Xu! I will definitely feed them till they become chubby! This way, when I grow up, I can eat them!”

Gu Jiao: So you are keeping fish for the sake of eating them?

There was suddenly no noise from the poultry that were running around in the courtyard.

At night, Gu Yan, who worked for little monk, went to the chicken coop to feed the seven chicks, but found that they collectively went on a hunger strike!

Gu Yan: “Huh?”

Dinner was six dishes and one soup. All the children in the family were in the stage of growing bodies. The old priest cooked with generous portions and still made a separate small stove for little monk.

He eats a lot, but doesn’t grow taller.

It’s also troublesome.

The old priest’s cooking skill successfully eliminated the shadow brought by Xiao Liulang’s breakfast. The whole family ate with satisfaction.

After the meal, the old lady asked everyone about their day as usual. Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang did not mention Gu Chenglin’s visit. The two didn’t think Gu Chenglin was worth discussing during their family mealtime.

Aside from little monk making a new friend at Guozijian, nothing new happened for everyone else.

However, Xiao Liulang, who was always silent during the family meeting, unexpectedly spoke up: “There is a carpenter near Guozijian who wants to take on apprentices. Guozijian and Qinghe Academy will take a break tomorrow. I will take Xiaoshun for a visit.”

Xiaoshun is passionate about wood carving. If he can find a reliable master to learn carpentry, it would indeed be a good path.

“So, do I not have to study?” Xiaoshun asked excitedly.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang in unison: “Don’t even think about it!”

Xiaoshun: “…”

Indeed, ordinary children might not need to study any longer after learning a trade, but Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao both value education very much, the children of their family could have after-school tutoring, but they could not drop out of school to learn a trade.

“Gu Yan will also go.” Xiao Liulang said.

“Why do I have to go too?” Gu Yan was puzzled.

Xiao Liulang: “You have nothing to do.”

Gu Yan: “…”

From now on, Gu Yan and Xiaoshun will have to start a difficult life of studying during the day and learning craft at night.

Little monk swayed his head proudly: “I don’t have to learn any craft, I can play, lo and behold!”

Xiao Liulang looked at him ruthlessly: “Starting tomorrow, add an extra foreign language class.”

Little monk’s face went dark instantly.
