Chapter 112: Sister Teaches You to Play with Mud

~7 min read 1,348 words

Yu Qing's question left the system bewildered.

What does that mean?

The system panicked a bit, uncertainly asking, 【Haven't you read the agreement?】

Yu Qing had a row of question marks floating above her head.

This simulator doesn't seem very smart.

Could it be buggy software?

After some communication, the system realized the Main God might have snatched the wrong person again!!!

Yu Qing is a lively, energetic person!

It might be a loading error; after the other party came in, they didn't even see the agreement.

Yu Qing 【So, I have to work for free?】

The little girl originally said, I definitely won't do it.

As a result, lowering her head, she met Sui Sui's doubtful big eyes.

In that moment, Yu Qing felt she had seen the most dazzling gem in the world.

Gleaming flashes, dazzling and charming.

Yu Qing stared for a while, then loudly said, 【I can tell at a glance, this cutie was kidnapped by a damned human trafficker, my long-lost goose!】

【It's just to tell stories to the goose, right?】

【No problem, leave it to me!】

Just telling stories, Yu Qing rolled up her sleeves, prepared for half a day, then started scratching her head.

She's been single for over twenty years, never raised a child, doesn't know how to tell stories.

As for those fairy tales in her mind?

She's long forgotten them.

What she can remember are all the Hai Tang versions, which aren't suitable for kids, right!

Seeing her state, the system also got anxious, 【Why don't you just say something? Aren't you an uploader?】

Yu Qing uncertainly asked, 【Anything goes?】

System: ……

Saying no now isn't it already too late?

Sui Sui didn't understand the various secret language disputes between the system and Yu Qing; she stared at the pretty sister for a long time without speaking, then softly asked, 【Are you the sister who will tell Sui Sui a story tonight?】

After asking, she blushed embarrassedly, 【Sui Sui likes the pretty sister.】

This sister is indeed pretty, and also very Gentleness, speaking in a soft voice.

Sui Sui liked it, so she spoke it out directly.

Le Le said, liking something means expressing it so others know.

As soon as those two sentences were spoken, Yu Qing felt light-headed.

Although knowing this isn't a simulator, who wouldn't want such a goose?

So, it's just a story……

She can do it!

After figuring it out, Yu Qing softened her tone, her voice tightening, 【Hello Sui Sui, I'm Sister Yu Qing; today's bedtime story is about the past and present of honeycomb coal.】

This topic is a video edit Yu Qing has been preparing recently.

She stays up at night preparing this.

Now it's perfect to tell Sui Sui.

She roughly looked; Sui Sui is in an ancient setting, maybe it could be used later.

Ancient times actually had a primitive form of honeycomb coal.

However, it was only roughly shaped; more often it appeared as coal cakes, etc., to mix fragrances into the coal, making the burned coal cakes more fragrant.

They lack the high cost‑performance trait of later versions.

What Yu Qing will talk about is truly burn‑resistant and cheap honeycomb coal.

Yu Qing not only lectured, but also used simple equipment and a curtain from the system's space to give Sui Sui a hands‑on demonstration.

Sui Sui was originally so sleepy she could barely open her eyes, but Yu Qing's teaching method attracted her, and she quickly became energetic.

Later, as she got hands‑on, simulating coal‑kneading, her eyes shone bright and she was very spirited.

Aunt Xiang heard the commotion and quietly inquired.

Fortunately, Sui Sui pretended to be asleep and didn't dare answer.

Aunt Xiang, uneasy, came in to look, saw the little girl still lying down, and then left reassured.

Sui Sui felt guilty doing this for the first time.

The whole process was directed by Yu Qing and the system.

Now seeing Aunt Xiang leave, Sui Sui nimbly climbed up again.

This time, she moved gently.

Making honeycomb coal isn't actually difficult.

However, to make honeycomb coal burn‑resistant, one must consider the ratio of coal slag to yellow clay.

Too little, and it won't burn long.

Too much, and the cost becomes ineffective.

Sui Sui still doesn't understand these points.

She can barely remember how to form honeycomb coal, which is already good.

A rare hands-on experiment class, and it's also a virtual class, so one won't get covered in coal dust; the system looks pleased as well.

It thought this could be considered a new teaching method.

It can give feedback to the Main God, and for the subsequent story, follow this standard!

Sui Sui kneaded coal for half the night, and in her dream she was always kneading black mud there.

Upon waking early, she was so exhausted she couldn't open her eyes.

Aunt Qiu thought the child was being lazy about sleep, and she carefully asked whether the child wanted to sleep a bit more.

Sui Sui stubbornly got up, shook her head: 'No need, I've slept well!'

Actually she hadn't slept well, but she was just forcing herself.

Seeing the child insist on getting up, Aunt Qiu could only go along with her.

She washed up, changed clothes, and carefully applied ointment to her head.

After everything was tidied up, Aunt Qiu then took Sui Sui's hand and walked toward the dining hall.

At this moment, the young masters of the residence were still on their way over, while Princess Consort of Qi was talking with Aunt Qiu.

Aunt Qiu's early morning question was: When will Sui Sui go to the Wangfu's elementary school?

In response, Princess Consort of Qi hesitated a moment, then shook her head: 'Let's not go for now.'

Seeing Aunt Qiu's puzzled expression, Princess Consort of Qi smiled helplessly: 'There's a saying: first respect the clothing, then the person. Sui Sui's clothing now is not adequate; it's fine for daily life at the residence, but if she goes to Zhuangzi for archery lessons and occasionally meets other families' young ladies and gentlemen, once or twice she could make excuses to get by, but over time it would really be hard to say.'

They don't always encounter children of good conduct like those at the Da Zhang Gong Zhu Fu.

Besides the clothing matter, Princess Consort of Qi also considered another point: 'Moreover, with only Sui Sui as a young lady, it's too lonely; I'm thinking of finding two children to come over and keep her company.'

Should we find a study companion for Sui Sui?

There are many young masters at the Wangfu, so there's no need to specially seek a study companion.

Now there is only one young lady, Sui Sui.

If it's about a study companion, Aunt Qiu's first consideration would definitely be the children from the Song Fu.

But she hadn't spoken yet when Princess Consort of Qi understood her meaning: 'I was still thinking last night about whether to let Yuan Niang or Er Niang come over, but once this opening is made, the people over at the East Wing wouldn't know how to cause a fuss.'

Once Princess Consort of Qi brings her natal family's niece into the Wangfu's small classroom.

Then would the nieces of the two concubines' natal families also need to be arranged to come in?

It wouldn't be right to favor one and neglect the other, would it?

What about the other concubines?

Those who are not favored might be embarrassed to speak up, while those like Concubine Su who rely on favor would dare to oppose even Princess Consort of Qi; if they really saw profit, they'd surely rush in.

By then, the small classroom would turn into a place of fame and profit; would Master Shen be happy?

After hearing Princess Consort of Qi's words, Aunt Qiu thought carefully and realized it really was the case.

The young ladies from the Song family cannot be accepted; who else could come over without provoking the East Wing to stir?

The second watch is at 19:00.
