After dinner, Xue Erfu asked the two children, “Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, when are you going to sleep? If you’re not in a hurry to sleep, teach me how to read the account book.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not in a hurry to sleep. They were also willing to teach Erfu, so they naturally agreed. Then, they walked to the counter and patiently taught Erfu to read the account book.
The account book was easy to read, but there were some words on it that Erfu did not recognize, so he could not understand some parts of it.
They then taught Erfu how to read the words he could not recognize.
Erfu also understood that it was not that the account book was difficult, but that he was too illiterate. He even quickly took out a pen and paper for notes while recognizing it to make a deeper impression.
Just as he was teaching Erfu, someone knocked on the door of their shop.
“Who is it?” Xue Erfu subconsciously raised his voice when he heard the voice, but he was still holding a pen in his hand and writing on the paper. This was the word that the two children had just taught him.
“l am a guest of this inn.”
“What inn? Our shop is not an inn.” Xue Erfu replied without thinking.
However, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan immediately looked at each other because they heard the voice of the person outside the door. It was the voice of Zou Shisi.
Zou Yi had brought 15 men with him to keep an eye on Prince Ying, and Zou Shisi was one of them.
Zou Shisi knocked on the door again, asking to come in. It was obvious that something big had happened.
“Why isn’t your shop an inn? I came here two years ago and stayed here for a few days.” Zou Shisi said from outside. His voice was also particularly loud.
It was obviously done on purpose, so that they could hear it.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again.
“Ah.” Xue Erfu looked as if he had only just reacted. He quickly opened the door and said to Zou Shisi, who was standing outside the door, in embarra.s.sment, ‘Yes, yes, yes. This was originally an inn, but our family bought it last year. It’s no longer an inn, but it has become a shop that sells food. It’s closed now. I’m really sorry for the troubles. If you want to stay in the inn, you can walk further ahead. There’s an inn over there.”
Zou Shisi saw Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looking at him at the counter and felt relieved. It was time to go to the side and wait. He smiled and said, “l see.
Sorry to disturb you.”
With that, he shook his hand and left.
Xue Erfu then closed the door again. He didn’t take this matter to heart at all. He returned to the counter and wrote while reading.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other again.
Jiang Yue silently said two words to Xue Yan, “I’ll go.”
Xue Yan had yet to speak when Xue Erfu saw another word he did not recognize and asked with a bitter face, “What is this word?”
Xue Yan knew very well that he or Jiang Yue had to leave one of them here to teach Erfu. As long as Jiang Yue was not in Erfu’s line of sight, she could easily leave this shop and go find Zou Shisi. As he hurriedly told Erfu what this word was, he nodded to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue then said to Xue Erfu, “Erfu, Xue Yan can teach you. I’m a little sleepy and want to sleep.”
“Alright, alright, then go to sleep. Goodnight.” Xue Erfu had no objections.
As soon as Jiang Yue went upstairs and entered her room, she closed the door and bolted it from the inside. Then, she quickly pushed open the window on the street and came down from the window.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, she hurried to the alley beside her.
Zou Shisi was already waiting for her..
