After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Chapter 9 Teach the younger siblings a lesson
  The two looked at each other, as if they didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"Thank you sister."

Li Mingzhu held Li Youwei's hand affectionately, her voice sweet and waxy.

Li Youwei sneered in her heart, hoping that she would be able to laugh after a while.

The eldest princess had already prepared the meal and was waiting for Li Youwei to come back to eat together.

Now seeing two more people around him, confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Mom, you eat first, and I'll answer your siblings' questions first."

After spending many days together, the two of them have developed an absolute tacit understanding.

The eldest princess nodded, "Okay, mother will leave a portion for you to warm on the stove."

"Thank you, mother."

"Be good, go ahead."

As soon as she left the sight of the eldest princess, Li Mingzhu stamped her feet coquettishly.

"Sister, the eldest princess is so kind to you. You are also her child. How can she treat you favorably?"

After entering Li Youwei's exclusive study, Li Yaozu couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Sister, my sister is right, my mother's partiality is too obvious."

"Isn't it enough for you to have the love of your parents?" As Li Youwei spoke, he had already pulled out a ruler from the bookshelf on the side.

"Sister, don't blame your parents for neglecting you, they are too busy."

[Hmph, it’s strange that my second brother and I are talking bad about you in front of my parents. They like you. 】

Li Youwei has long seen the true face of the Li family, but now that she is still young, she can only stay here temporarily.

Not wanting to continue the topic, Li Youwei asked them to sit down at the desk.

"Which of you comes first?"

"Second brother, your studies are more important, you go first."

Li Mingzhu smiled flatteringly at Li Yaozu.

Li Yaozu raised his hand and touched her head, "It's still the pearl that makes things right."

Li Youwei didn't care at all about the two people's deliberate singing, because they were not worth her time at all.

Seeing that Li Youwei was already reading a book, Li Yaozu's eyes flashed with malice and he asked his question.

"Sister, you are so good at solving the problem of chickens and rabbits living in the same cage. Can you teach me the secret?"

"Okay, now let's take five heads and sixteen legs as an example. Suppose we first cut off half of the chicken and rabbit's legs."

"Wait, sister, this is too cruel. The little bunny is so cute, how can you chop off its feet?"

Li Mingzhu looked at Li Youwei with disapproval and condemnation in his eyes.

Just when Li Yaozu thought this solution was novel, he was suddenly interrupted by Li Mingzhu's cooing, and he looked at her displeased.

[This idiot must be filled with shit. If she can’t pave the way for her career in the future, he won’t give her a good look. 】

Listening to Li Yaozu's thoughts, Li Youwei felt a little sympathy for Li Mingzhu.

She thought she was loved by her parents and brothers, but in fact she was just a poor thing.

"Mingzhu, don't interrupt." Li Yaozu's writing was okay, but his arithmetic was really bad.

Not only did he want to disrupt Li Youwei's exam tomorrow, he also really wanted to learn her arithmetic skills.

"Yes, second brother." Li Mingzhu pouted aggrievedly, but she really fell silent.

Li Youwei continued to explain.

"After cutting off the legs, the sixteen legs were halved into eight. Assuming the cage was full of chickens, there should be five legs now, and the three extra legs should belong to rabbits.

The rabbit has two legs and the chicken has one leg, which means that for every extra leg, there is a rabbit. Now there are three extra legs, so there are three rabbits.

So the final answer is two chickens and three rabbits. "

The Master once said this question. Li Yaozu knew that the answer was from Li Youwei, but he couldn't quite understand the way she explained it.

Li Mingzhu couldn't help but interrupt again.

"Sister, what you said is too abstract. I can't figure it out at all."

Li Yaozu did not dislike Li Mingzhu this time, and apparently he thought so too.

Li Youwei looked at Li Yaozu, "Yaozu, Mingzhu has learned more about etiquette and embroidery. You have been in school for so long, so you must be able to understand more than her."

Being so excited by Li Youwei, Li Yaozu straightened his chest immediately.

"That's natural."

"Okay, I'll give you a few more questions, and you can use this method to solve them." "No problem."

Li Yaozu lowered his head to do the questions, and Li Youwei's eyes fell on Li Mingzhu.

"Mingzhu, it's your turn."

Looking into Li Youwei's eyes, Li Mingzhu suddenly had a bad feeling. She felt that Li Youwei had changed since he fell into the water.

Her current sister made her inexplicably afraid.

But she was here to help her second brother this time, so she had to bite the bullet.

"Well, sister, I want to learn the etiquette in the palace. I am afraid that I will offend the nobles when I go to the palace for banquets in the future."

"Okay, let's start with the kneeling ceremony. You do it first and I'll take a look."

Li Mingzhu stiffened and gritted his teeth secretly. Li Youyi must have done it on purpose.

But after all, she asked Li Youwei to teach her the rules, so she had to kneel down reluctantly.

There was a snapping sound, and Li Yaozu, who was doing the questions, was so frightened that he almost threw his pen away.

Li Mingzhu climbed up from the ground and pointed at Li Youwei to accuse.

"Sister, why did you hit me?"

"Kneeling is not standard, so you should be beaten. Sister, don't blame me, only a strict teacher can produce a good disciple.

The kneeling method you just performed is very easy to lose your head. "

"How can it be that exaggerated?" Li Mingzhu was a little scared, but she was still quibbling.

"If you don't regulate your words and deeds, not only your own head, but the entire Li family will be implicated by you."

After hearing this, Li Yaozu became anxious. If Li Mingzhu dared to drag him down, he would kill her first.

"Sister, your mistress is usually too tolerant to you. My eldest sister is a student at Hongru Academy, why don't you learn from her quickly?

From now on, stop being stubborn and kneel down. "

Li Mingzhu felt frustrated and anxious, and looked at Li Yaozu with resentment in her eyes.

But she knew she couldn't offend Li Yaozu, so she had to kneel down again.

Li Youwei raised the ruler and hit her on the back of her right hand.

"Hey, sister, why did you hit me again? You did it on purpose."

"Mingzhu, how did you learn the rules? When you kneel down and pray, you need to support the ground with your left hand and your right hand. How could you do the opposite?"

"I……"

Li Mingzhu knew that she was wrong and could no longer argue for herself.

Although she grew up in the countryside, she was so well protected by Li Youwei that she couldn't endure hardship at all.

She couldn't bear the hardship of learning rules and talents.

The female teacher saw that she didn't study hard, and later she didn't pay much attention to teaching.

She was already half-skilled, but now she is even worse.

If it were Li Youwei before he fell into the water, let alone hitting Li Mingzhu, he would have been reluctant to even curse. Now he only feels that the beating was too gentle.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Mingzhu received no less than twenty blows from the ruler.

She finally couldn't help it anymore, stood up and grabbed the ruler in Li Youwei's hand.

"Li Youwei, you are avenging yourself in public just because you want to beat me to death."

Li Yaozu also frowned.

"Li Youwei, you really have gone too far."

"Is this too much?"

Before the two of them could react, Li Youwei rewarded each of them with two big mouths.

"You should be beaten for disrespecting my eldest sister."

The two covered their faces and looked at Li Youwei in disbelief. Aren't they the treasures she held in her hands?
  After a while, Li Mingzhu held her face and cried.

"Oh, oh, oh, I don't want to live anymore, I have to tell my mother."

"I will go with you."

Li Yaozu tossed his sleeves and followed Li Mingzhu angrily.

"Stop, no one is allowed to leave unless they learn what I teach you today."
