At night, Yang Ruqing came to Dazhi's door again.

This time, the door was left open, and she easily entered the house.

But Da Zhi was sitting at the desk, holding a book in his hand, not knowing if he could get into it.

>

When Yang Ruqing came in, Da Zhi didn't even raise his eyelids.

Yang Ruoqing stood by the desk, reaching out to touch Dazhi's head, but he swiveled his head to avoid her hand.

Yang Ruqing was left standing there awkwardly. She withdrew her hand and said to Dazhi, "Go to sleep early. Tomorrow morning, your Uncle Left from Zuojiazhuang will send you to Yangzhou to be reunited with your mother and siblings."

“I've prepared some clothes and silver, along with some banknotes for you. When you reach Yangzhou, give them to your mother and your sister-in-law,”

"Let them buy houses, land, or shops. You like to study, so I'll leave you a silver note by yourself. The money on the note will be enough for you to study without any worries."

"When you figure it out and want to come back, send a message, your mother will go get you."

As Yang Ruqing was saying all of this, her eyes kept track of Da Zhi's changing expressions.

If there were even a hint of regret on his face, or if he'd uttered even a word about not wanting to leave,

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else! ?

Yang Ruqing would always soften her heart, change her mind, and then arrange for him to continue his studies in a nearby town or county.

But he never reacted at all, from beginning to end. This cold and distant look was really different from the well-behaved and gentle Dazhi before.

Yang Ruoqing could only let out a deep sigh.

"Get some rest now. I'll send you off early tomorrow morning," she said.

Then, she turned and left the house.

Yang Ruoqing was walking halfway when she met Chen'er and Luo Baobao face-to-face.

"Where are you two going at night if you don't sleep?" Yang Ruqing asked.

Chen'er did not speak. She glanced at Luo Bao'er beside her.

Luo Baobei raised a pair of red-rimmed eyes and looked at Yang Ruqing, stretching out his hand to grab Yang Ruqing's sleeve: "Mother, I don't want Da Zhi Gege to leave, Mother, keep Da Zhi Gege here, please? Woooo..."

Yang Ruqing raised her hand and touched Luo Baobei's head: "If there is anything to keep, mother has already kept it. If you have the ability to keep Bigzhi brother, then go try."

Luo Baobei said: "Let's try it!"

Then, she let go of Yang Ruoqing's sleeve and ran quickly toward Da Zhi's house.

Chen'er told Yang Ruqing, "Mother, I'm also going to have a heart-to-heart talk with Da Zhi. I hope he will change his mind."

Yang Ruqing nodded, "Do your best, there's no need to compromise."

Chen'er nodded, "My son knows his limits."

When Chen'er walked into Dazhi's house, what she saw was Dazhi sitting rigidly behind his desk, his face tense.

Luo Bao-bao stood beside him, tugging and shaking Da Zhi's arm, acting cute and pestering him, stubbornly saying things like wanting Da Zhi to stay.

But Da Zhi remained silent.

“Are you mute? Speak up! Why don't you want to stay in this house? Have I wronged you? Do you hate me?”

"You tell me, you tell me! If you don't tell me, I won't leave!" Luo Baobei puffed out her cheeks and said.

As soon as Da Zhi saw Chen'er walking in, his eyes were filled with sparks of hatred.

Chen'er felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Da Zhi's hateful eyes.

But Chen'er still gave Dazhi a sincere and friendly smile.

>

He came to the desk and bowed to Da Zhi, saying: "Da Zhi ge, I saw that your mother and sisters were very reluctant and heartbroken. Can you stay?"

“I have been studying in the capital for a long time, and I cannot stay by my mother and grandmother's side to serve them.”

"You're with the elders at home, which is like company for them. I feel very reassured and grateful that you're there in Beijing."

"As my mother said, as long as our brothers work together, we will be able to cut through anything like a sharp blade!" Chen'er said.

Hearing Chen'er's words, Luo Baobei nodded repeatedly: "And me, and me, the three of us siblings, will never be separated!"

Chen'er gave Luo Baobei an encouraging smile, then looked at Dazhi: "Dazhi ge, you stay!"

>

The baby camel also said, "Stay! Stay!"

Da Zhi's cold gaze fell on Chen'er, and he said, "I know you are very good at studying. Even though you are a few months younger than me, you actually went to the best academy in the capital city."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Don't think that just because I live in this remote, backwater place, I don't know anything. You getting into Yingtian Academy is most likely thanks to your parents pulling some strings behind the scenes, right?"

“Big Brother Zhi, you...how could you say that?” Chen’er never expected Big Brother Zhi to guess like this.

Just as he was about to explain himself, Luo Bao jumped in, "Big Zhi brother, why are you saying that? Brother Chen is smart and good at studying. Even Uncle said so!"

"Hmph!" Dazhi let out a cold snort, glanced at Luobaobao, and said, "In this Great Qi, there are many smart people who can read. Why did he break the rules and get into Yantian Academy?"

“Why do I have to get up early and study so hard? Why do my parents keep me in that dilapidated little schoolhouse in the village?”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

"Don't you think sending me to town, or even the county to study, would be enough? Huh?"

“I don't want it, I don't care. You favor him, so you do! Who am I, but not your biological son?”

"You've been given all the good things, Chen'er, and I don't mind that. But don't just spout empty words, I may be young, but I'm not stupid."

"If Father and Mother truly considered me their biological son, why didn't they also take me to the capital to study?"

"If you truly cared for me as your own, why did Father bring back some rare Western trinkets from the Southwest battlefield, but I received none?" he asked.

Chen'er was stunned, and only then did she remember the Western pocket watch in her arms.

When father gave it to him, he said it was a congratulations for passing all the exams and getting into Yingtian Academy.

Another telescope was given to my uncle.

There was also a box of chocolates, which Dad naturally gave to Mom.

“Big brother, if you like this pocket watch, just take it from your younger brother. Anyway, I don't use it often...”

Chen'er said, taking out her favorite pocket watch from her body and placing it on the writing desk.

Dazhi looked at the unfamiliar pocket watch on the table, envy in his eyes, his fingers twitching.

A sardonic smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Hmph, you're giving me scraps? My ambitions aren't for handouts!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he suddenly raised his hand and swept the pocket watch onto the ground.

Chen'er never expected that Zhi would do this, so he didn't guard against Zhi sweeping the pocket watch to the ground. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

As the metallic pocket watch was about to be smashed, a figure darted forward and snatched it from harm's way.

>

It is Luò Bǎobǎo.

She glanced at the perfectly intact pocket watch in her palm and let out a breath of relief.

>

Immediately, her face flushed red as she said to Da Zhi: "Da Zhi brother, you were too much tonight! You smashed things without even a word, I can't stand it anymore!"
