If she rejected it, she would be unfilial!
Moreover, not only could she not refuse, but she also had to copy the Buddhist scriptures happily. After copying them, she could not be careless, let alone be negligent.
If she did not copy them well, it would mean that she was not sincere.
Not only would she damage her grandmother’s virtue, but she would also be disrespectful to Buddha.
“So. do you think that the Buddhist prayer scriptures are randomly copied?
It was fine as long as he did not touch the brush or start. Once she touched the brush, just reverence was not enough. She had to be pious!
Wasn’t this putting her on the spot?!
Yu Shuangbai finally understood that her sister would always be her sister. It was this sister who had already become a “legend” in school. She would always be her sister.
No matter who she provoked, she couldn’t provoke her sister.
If she couldn’t beat her to death, she had other methods!
Yu Shuangbai’s face turned pale as she looked at Yu Youyao pitifully. “Big Sister, please let me off…’
Yu Youyao did not say yes or no. “Why are you looking for me?
Yu Shuangbai’s face fell. “Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister are here too.”
Yu Youyao sat in the pavilion at the center of the lake, smelling the lotus wind and sending incense. She listened to Yu Shuangbai, Yu Lianyu, and Yu Fangfei talk at once and pieced together the cause and effect.
This matter actually had something to do with Yu Youyao.
Yu Youyao now had a cla.s.s every three days. Yu Shuangbai and the others had originally thought that they could heave a sigh of relief, but because the difference between them and Yu Youyao was too great, Ms. Ye had become even stricter with them.
In Ms. Ye’s words, “We’re all sisters. We can’t be too different. Even if we can’t compare to her in terms of talent, diligence can make up for our shortcomings.
We should work harder in our studies.”
Hence, Ms. Ye began to gradually increase their learning progress.
In the beginning, the few of them had a good foundation. Although it was difficult to learn, they could still handle it.
However, as Ms. Ye’s cla.s.s progressed faster and faster, the few of them couldn’t take it anymore. They had to spend more time learning every day. The heavy workload made them suffer even more.
Yu Shuangbai and the others did not dare to protest to Ms. Ye, so they looked for Yu Youyao and told her about Ms. Ye l s “inhumane” actions.
“We have to practice a thousand words a day, memorize an article, and revise a lesson. The next day, Ms. Ye has to check them one by one. If we don’t complete them, we have to double them. Not only that, but we also have to take time out to learn the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Don’t you think Ms. Ye is too much…”
Hearing Yu Shuangbai and the others’ complaints, Yu Youyao understood the reason.
Yu Qingning was locked up in the Hanlu Courtyard, while Yu Jianjia went to the manor. She only went to school once every three days, so only Yu Shuangbai, Yu Lianyu, and Yu Fangfei were left in the school.
There were fewer people and Yu Shuangbai and the others had good temperaments and apt.i.tudes. Ms. Ye could also spare more energy and teach them more carefully.
After complaining, Yu Shuangbai hugged Big Sister’s arm. “Big Sister, Ms. Ye likes you the most. Why don’t you go and talk to Ms. Ye and ask her to reduce her learning intensity a little?”
Yu Lianyu and Yu Fangfei also looked at Yu Youyao eagerly, their eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Yu Youyao did not say anything else. “Grandmother has always doted on me the most. Why don’t I talk to her and ask her to help you change to another female teacher? I heard that there’s an in-law in the capital…”
Yu Lianyu quickly shook her head. “Big Sister, it’s not that serious. Although
Ms. Ye is very strict with us, we’ve also learned a Jot from her…”
Yu Fangfei quickly said, “Yes, yes. Other than being too strict, Ms. Ye is also doing her best to help us. I dont want to change to another teacher.”
Yu Shuangbai pursed her lips and looked thoughtful.
Yu Youyao smiled. “The reason why you’re dissatisfied with Ms. Ye is because she keeps accelerating her learning progress, making you feel that Ms. Ye treats you as me. You feel that Ms. Ye is making things difficult for you. You feel uncomfortable because Ms. Ye compares you to me.”
Her words. .h.i.t the nail on the head, making Yu Shuangbai and the others blush.
Subconsciously, they respected and liked Big Sister.
However, Big Sister was too talented and left them far behind. Although they were not jealous, they were still sisters. No one was willing to be compared to her.
Yu Youyao sighed softly. “How do you know that Ms. Ye isnt worried that the difference between you and me is too great? We’re all sisters in the family. In the future, when you grow up and leave the family, you’ll be compared to others. That’s why she’s strengthening your studies and letting you work hard to make up for your shortcomings.”
Yu Shuangbai’s eyes widened in shock. “I-I’ve never thought about it.”
Yu Lianyu and Yu Fangfei lowered their heads.
Yu Youyao sighed slightly. “So far, can you complete Ms. Ye’s daily homework?”
Yu Lianyu hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Although the content is heavy and it’s difficult to learn, we can still complete them if we spend more time and effort.”
Yu Fangfei also nodded. “I’m younger and started two years later than Second
Sister, so I have less homework every day.”
After Yu Youyao heard this, she said, “Look, Ms. Ye teaches every day based on your apt.i.tude. She keeps increasing her learning progress because in her heart, you can still be more outstanding. She has never compared you to me, and the person who compares you to me is you.”
As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if they had been hit in the head. Yu Shuangbai and the others’ faces turned pale.
Yu Fangfei was shocked. She tugged at Big Sister’s hand. “Big Sister, we’re not jealous of you. We just, just…”
She didn’t know what else to say.
Yu Youyao smiled. “You just feel that Ms. Ye only sees my excellence and keeps accelerating her learning progress, but she doesn’t see your own efforts. You feel depressed and sad that your efforts have been ignored, right?”
Yu Shuangbai lowered her head. “We were confused. We thought that Ms. Ye was constantly accelerating our learning progress because she felt that we weren’t as good as Big Sister, so…” At this point, she looked ashamed and didn’t dare to look at her directly. “I didn’t expect Ms. Ye to have put in so much effort for us.”
Yu Lianyu also looked ashamed. “We misunderstood Ms. Ye.”
Yu Fangfei lowered her head. “We were wrong.”
It wasn’t a bad thing for the little girls to be a little sensitive. Yu Youyao smiled. “Talent is something that’s innate, but look! Before this year, everyone in the residence thought that Eldest Miss was stubborn and stupid.”
Yu Shuangbai and the others looked thoughtful.
Yu Youyao said, “You’re not young anymore, so it’s indeed time for you to focus. There’s only the three of you in the family school. Ms. Ye has the energy and is willing to spend more time nurturing you. She treats you sincerely. You should respect her more and seize this opportunity to work harder..”
