196 Looking for Chen Yuan
Seeing that Little Ah Yu was interested in the house, Meatball did not stop her. It only looked at the little fellow walking around the house a few times.
She touched and looked around curiously.
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
It was so beautiful.
“Where did this come from? Did the elf conjure it?”
The house was still glowing. Little Ah Yu was stunned and did not even dare to blink, afraid that if she blinked, the house would disappear.
Meatball said: [This is a Merit Pool. I didn’t create it. You did.]
Little Ah Yu pointed at her. “Was it me? Did I do it when I was asleep?”
Meatball laughed loudly. [Of course not. It appeared after your merit was accumulated to a certain level, which is what you’re seeing now.]
[The greatest function of the Merit Pool is to store Myriad Spirit Water. In the future, you won’t have to be afraid of running out of water.]
Although the Myriad Spirit Water in the spatial pocket had been flowing continuously, the water that flowed out of the bowl could not be drunk, and the effect was not very good.
The excess water was more suitable for growing plants and to adjust the spiritual energy in the spatial pocket.
The Myriad Spirit Water in the Merit Pool could be used directly at any time, had similar effects, and was more abundant.
As long as Little Ah Yu could maintain her good intentions, the water inside would be endless. She would not even have to wait anymore.
This troubled Little Ah Yu. “But I don’t need that much water.”
Meatball smiled. [That’s because you’re still young. This water can only be used by you and your family. When you grow up in the future, this water will be more useful.]
Now, Little Ah Yu had more Myriad Spirit Water, but other than giving it to her family, she usually did not give it to anyone else.
Even Qin Huai, whom she liked very much, only received a glass of water occasionally.
The others did not get anything.
Little Ah Yu said, “Alright, will it always wait here for me to grow up?”
[Yes.]
“Hello, Merit Pool. You’re so good-looking!” Little Ah Yu happily praised the house.
Perhaps it was Meatball’s imagination, but the light on the surface of the house that originally had no signs of life seemed to have flickered for a moment. When it looked carefully, it was gone.
Little Ah Yu thought to herself that her family was all healthy now. They drank Myriad Spirit Water every day and did not have to fall sick.
This Merit Pool should not be needed, but the merit was very beautiful. Little Ah Yu also welcomed it to the spatial pocket as a guest.
In fact, Little Ah Yu began to wonder if her spatial pocket would welcome other things when she grew up in the future.
Meatball knew what Little Ah Yu was thinking but did not inform her.
Generally speaking, there would only be the Myriad Spirit Water Bowl, Myriad Spirit Earth, and the Merit Pool in the spatial pocket.
Even it, the exclusive caregiver, should not exist.
However, since even the exclusive caregiver was here, the other things that the little brat was looking forward to might also appear?
The next morning, the Wang Family was yawning. The children were fine, but the adults’ eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that they had not rested well.
Other than Old Madam Wang.
In the morning, they had buns and porridge as usual. Coupled with the pickled vegetables cooked by Madam Ma, everyone ate with relish.
Old Madam Wang looked at them one by one. All of them looked listless. Their eyes were rolling to the sky.
It was only a few thousand taels of silver, but this group of people could not sit still already. If their family had more money in the future, they would probably not be able to sleep every night.
It seemed that it was very necessary to give them three years to settle down.
In fact, this time should be extended further.
Wang Chuanyuan and his wife had gone to the bun shop early in the morning and brought the buns back for everyone to eat. Now that they had finished eating, they had to hurry back to the shop.
Old Madam Wang decided to talk to Chen Yuan about the Wang Family Steamed Bun Shop.
Little Ah Yu skipped over because she wanted to know the outcome of the negotiation, especially if it could be concluded at 1,000 taels. Otherwise, she would not be able to complete the mission.
“You’re not going to the private school today?” Old Madam Wang looked at Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu was a little conflicted. Of course, she wanted to go to the private school. But the private school was there every day and she could still go tomorrow. However, if she did not resolve the matter with Uncle Chen, the elf would definitely be sad.
Therefore, Little Ah Yu put on an expression of pain and said with an extremely conflicted look, “I want to follow Grandma! I’ll go to the private school later!”
Since Little Ah Yu had said so, what else could Old Madam Wang not agree to?
Old Madam Wang brought Little Ah Yu to look for Chen Yuan and instructed her family, “If Chuanfu comes later, tell him what happened first. If I come back and Chuanfu still doesn’t know what’s going on. I’ll peel your skins!”
Wang Chuangui replied, “I understand, Mother. Don’t worry and go.”
Little Ah Yu craned her neck at the side and reminded him in a low voice, “Second Uncle is wrong. You need to use honorifics because Grandma is an elder in the family. Sir said so!”
The Yang Family Private School taught primary school children. In the beginning, they taught simple etiquette and manners, interspersed with some ancient literature. The other children only listened, but Little Ah Yu seriously noted down everything in class.
Old Madam Wang glanced at Wang Chuangui. “You don’t even understand the principles that even children understand. Isn’t it embarrassing! If I were you, I would dig a hole with my foot and hide in it now.”
Wang Chuangui: “…”
It had been decades, and they had been addressing each other like that. They hadn’t seen their parents say anything, so why were they suddenly talking about it today?
“Why? Do you have other thoughts? With your level of etiquette and shamelessness, you still want to take the Imperial Examination? I think it’s better for you to crawl into the stove and roast some raw meat.”
Wang Chuangui: “…”
“Mother, you’re right.” You’re always right.
Old Madam Wang snorted and left with Little Ah Yu.
After a while, Wang Erlang finished the last mouthful of porridge. He wiped his mouth and said to Wang Chuangui, “Father, we’re going to school. Are you coming back later, or are you coming with us?”
Wang Chuangui: “How audacious!”
Wang Erlang: “???”
Wang Chuangui said, “What kind of language are you using to talk to an elder? You bunch of brats! Have you thrown all the etiquette you’ve learned in school to the dogs? You’re even worse than Ah Yu!”
Wang Erlang: “???”
This was an undeserved calamity.
From this day onwards, Old man Wang suddenly realized that the children in the family had become more polite. They were always addressing him with honorifics.
It was just changing a word or two, but it gave off a different feeling.
They really should have let them do this earlier.
Old Madam Wang brought Little Ah Yu to Nanhe Inn.
Chen Yuan had already booked the private room from yesterday. When he saw that someone had arrived, he asked the waiter to serve the best tea.
Old Madam Wang waved her hand. “There’s no need for the best tea. Serve whatever you want. The tea isn’t important.”
When Chen Yuan saw how efficient Old Madam Wang was, he was relieved. He liked to interact with these people who did things cleanly.
Moreover, Chen Yuan had thought about it last night and determined that Old Madam Wang had either worked in a rich man’s house before, or she came from an extraordinary background.
According to the information he had obtained now, it should be the former.
