Volume 1: Laughing at the Prosperous Chapter 38

  Now? Yun Shallow Moon opened her eyes wide and stared at Yun Wu Han. She hasn't agreed yet!

  "When I came, I went to Grandfather's place to pay my respects. Grandfather told me to teach you well, and in a few days he will test you. He said that if you don't learn, then you can go accompany the current demoted Concubine Feng to guard the ancestral hall! He can no longer teach you. Let the ancestors of the Yun Wang Fu who have already passed away teach you." Cloud Muheng said calmly without lifting his head.

  Yun Shallow Moon heard the words and suddenly felt annoyed. What's wrong with not learning? Not to mention! She had just come over, and a good day hadn't passed yet! Looking at Yun Mochan's handsome face, she stood still, gritting her teeth and saying: "No one said I have to start learning today, did they?"

  "Grandfather and Father Wang both want you to take charge of the household earlier, now that there is no one in charge in the mansion, it's like a plate of loose sand. Since I have nothing to do today, let's start learning from today!" Yun Mochan glanced at her with a faint tone.

  Yun's face fell, and she felt both annoyed and frustrated in her heart. "You may be fine, but I just woke up and my head is still foggy! How about tomorrow?"

  "Are you not confused tomorrow?" Yun Mochan was unmoved, "Don't dawdle, come over and sit down quickly. You've slept for two days and two nights, I'm afraid no one in this mansion is more spirited than you."

  Yun Shallow Moon stared with wide eyes, "Then tell me first, how many days will you teach me?"

  "How many days?" Yun Wuhan looked at Yun Qianyue, but only glanced and then withdrew his gaze, saying lightly: "I asked the Emperor for a month's leave yesterday, and the Emperor heard that you want to learn accounting. He said it's probably impossible for you to learn in just one month, so he approved my request for two months' leave. So, you'll be learning for two months."

  Wow! This is really looking down on her IQ!

  Cloud Shallow Moon felt a faint blue vein throbbing on her forehead. As the youngest and most talented general of the National Security Bureau, it would take her two months to learn a few broken accounting books? If word got out, many people would be shocked. But seeing Cloud Muhan sitting there with an air of "you're just like that" made her feel deflated. Heroes don't mention past glories! She was once heroic, but now she's Cloud Shallow Moon, a spoiled rich girl who can't even recognize a single character. Not to mention reading accounting books, even recognizing the characters in front of others would be difficult for her. At this thought, her heart felt even more stifled.

  "Don't be discouraged, the Emperor also said that if it's not done in two months, then three months. He has given me an indefinite leave of absence to teach you until you succeed." Yun Wuhan comforted Yun Qianyue, who had a fallen face.

  Yun Shallow Moon held back her breath in her heart, wanting to cry but having no tears. Was she that stupid?

  "Let's put off checking the accounts for now, I'll teach you to read first!" Yun Wuhan suddenly sighed and ordered Cai Lian: "Prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

  "Yes, Young Master!" Cai Lian happily ran down. With the young master personally teaching Miss to learn accounting, Miss will definitely be able to learn how to manage the household.

  Zhao's mother and Ting Yu, Ting Xue were also extremely happy, and they started to clean up the table with joy. In a short while, they had cleaned up all the dishes on the table spotlessly.

  Cai Lian also brought out the rice paper and pen ink, spreading them on the table. She was delighted to start grinding the ink. Zhao Mama and Ting Yu, Ting Xue stood far away, holding their breath, eagerly watching Yun Shang Yue. The joy in each of their eyes couldn't be concealed.

  Yun Qian Yue raised her head and gazed at the roof, thinking that it was indeed a tiger falling into Pingyang.

  "It's indeed a good ink!" Yun Mohan praised Cai Lian.

  Cai Lian hastily replied, "Before Father passed away, he was a teacher at a private school. I used to attend to his writing needs before I entered the mansion. After Father left, I came into the mansion and haven't ground ink for a long time, my hands are rusty!"

  Yun Muhan nodded slightly and remained silent.

  Yun Shallow Moon remembered the day she first came, Cai Lian said that there was only one grandmother in her family who relied on each other for life. Her eyes flashed twice, thinking of accompanying her to visit her grandmother another day.

  Before long, Cai Lian finished grinding the ink and retreated to one side. Yun Wu Han stood up, picked up a brush, and began writing on the rice paper.

  The cloud was gazing at the half-open roof, unable to produce flowers. He finally withdrew his gaze and looked towards Yun Wuhan. He saw that one hand was stroking his sleeve, while the other held a brush, writing. The black ink flowed onto the white paper, revealing its strength and texture, with bold strokes and delicate lines, subtle yet perfect, a masterpiece that commanded admiration at first sight.

  She suppressed the admiration in her eyes, thinking back to the year she impulsively participated in a calligraphy exhibition and unexpectedly won first prize. Compared to others' work, hers still lacked a bit of flair, but she was still proud for several days until her teacher scolded her, saying she was just a mediocre talent who would never amount to anything no matter how much training she received. She didn't believe it, being young and arrogant, so she worked even harder, enrolling in a special training school where she excelled in every subject and extracurricular activity. Years later, after earning over ten bachelor's degrees, she went back to see her teacher, expecting some praise. But the old man just glanced at her and said, "A true master never uses external accomplishments as capital for showing off. Do you think being first is everything? Don't you know that learning has no end? The truth is, one mountain is always higher than another." From then on, she began to reflect on herself, no longer competing with others, calming down and focusing on her goals. Later, she gradually rose to a high position, but never felt complacent.

  Yun Shallow Moon thought of this, and her mind was dazed for a moment. It had only been two short days, but those things seemed to have become past events already.

  "Let's just learn these for today! I'm afraid you can't take in more than that." Yun Wu Han wrote a full page, turned around and said to Yun Qian Yue. When he saw her looking at his words with a dazed expression, he couldn't help but pause.

  Yun Shallow Moon immediately woke up, collected her dazed expression, and looked at the words that had changed into a look of annoyance and unfamiliar emotions. She frowned at Yun Wu Han and said: "So many? How can I learn them all?"

  "It's just one piece of paper, no more!" Yun Wu Han shook his head and beckoned to her, "Come quickly, I'll read it out loud for you."

  Yun Shang Yue reluctantly walked over, only to see that the entire sheet of paper was filled with names. The ancient complex characters were nothing to her. Especially when she saw the first name, Yun Meng, her mouth twitched, and she thought these must be the names of prominent figures in this mansion. Still, with a tone of unfamiliarity and disgust, she asked: "What are all these written? So difficult!"

  Despising oneself in one's heart, pretending to be? What if you don't pretend? Is she really not the real Yun Shang Yue?

  "It's easy once you learn." Yun Wuhan pointed at the first name and said: "Yun Meng. This is Uncle Meng's name."

  "Oh! I naturally know the word 'cloud', but I didn't expect the character for 'Meng' to look like this, it's really ugly. Why did Uncle Meng choose such a name?" Yun Shangyue frowned and pointed at the character "Meng", saying: "Uncle Meng probably can't read."

  "Meng Shu not only recognizes characters but also has extensively read poetry and books," said Yun Wuhanchan.

  "Ah, that's because his father is illiterate. Otherwise, why would he give him a name like this? It's so ugly." Yun Qianyue said.

  Cai Lian and Zhao's mother and others heard this and immediately turned black in unison.

  "Meng Shu's father used to be the Taishi Commander, responsible for compiling the Tian Sheng Historical Records. How could he not know characters?" Yun Wuhan's pale face remained expressionless, and she replied calmly.

  Yun Qian's mouth twitched again and she said: "Then his name was given by his grandfather. His grandfather is illiterate."

  Cai Lian and Zhao's mother couldn't bear it anymore, so they turned around and walked out together, not forgetting to close the door tightly.

  "His grandfather was once an official of the previous dynasty's prime minister. Later, with the fall of the previous dynasty, he died in loyalty to his lord. Do you think there would be an illiterate prime minister?" Yun Wuhan raised an eyebrow.

  Yun Shallow Moon felt that the small character Meng suddenly burst out of a circle of light, infinitely expanding. She let out a strange cry, "Mother, this Uncle Meng actually has such a big background!" As soon as she finished speaking, she clicked her tongue and said, "It's really not obvious. Why did he want to be a steward in our mansion?"

  "Grandfather saved him back then. So he's willing to follow Grandfather." Yun Wuhan frowned, looking at Yun Qianyue, "Aren't you saying too much?"

  Yun Qian Yue was about to say something, but suddenly stopped herself, feeling that she couldn't be too inhumane. After all, this person was her brother and a big handsome man. She covered her mouth and hastily said: "Okay, I won't say it, you speak, you speak."
