Chapter 963 Teaching a Few People Is Not Teaching
Hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, Daya looked at him blankly.
The housekeeper aunt beside her reacted. She remembered the girls that her sisters had brought home. After hesitating for a while, she plucked up her courage and asked cautiously: "That, Mr. Lin?"
"Hmm?"
Lin Zhongtian turned his head.
The housekeeper aunt blushed slightly, and said in a thick-skinned whisper: "There are several other girls at home, sir, would you like to take a look at them all?"
Lin Zhongtian was startled when he heard the words, and then smiled and said: "Okay, then bring them all here for me to see!"
As mentioned before, after Yun Ye pretended to be the ancestor, he had eight more sisters out of thin air.
Among these eight sisters, only Daya and Xiaoya are real Yun's daughters. Their father is the third son of the Yun family who survived the Yun Dingxing case due to a broken leg, that is, Yun Ye's third uncle.
In terms of blood, she is Yun Ye's closest cousin.
Of the remaining six sisters, two are the biological daughters of the aunts, one is called Runniang, the other is called Yiniang, and they are also cousins.
There are four other sisters, Xiaodong, Xiaoxi, Xiaonan and Xiaobei, who are all adopted by Yunye's aunts. Their identities are unknown, so they have never been favored by the old lady.
But Yunye treats them equally. The aunts regard them as their own daughters, and Yunye also regards them as his own sisters.
This time, the old lady attaches great importance to etiquette and rules to welcome the distinguished guests, so she only brought Daya and Xiaoya, two real Yun family girls, and the other six cousins in the family were not qualified to appear.
If it weren't for the housekeeper's aunt's extra words, maybe they would really miss this great opportunity.
Outside the hall, the old lady was leaning on a cane, and her face was a little ugly. Not to mention the housekeeper in front of her, she kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, as if she had just been scolded by the old lady.
According to the old lady, these cousins will get married in the future.
If she could really keep her mouth shut and not pass on her skills, it would be fine. But if she gets married to her husband's family in the future and turns her elbow outward, wouldn't that leak out the secrets of the Yun family?
The housekeeper aunt also agreed with the old lady's idea.
But she still felt sorry for her daughter and didn't give in on this matter.
Lin Zhongtian looked at the scene outside the hall and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
After all, the old lady is old and she is the most senior ancestor of the Yun family. Lin Zhongtian naturally won't care if she scolds the female family members in the family.
But in the same way, the old lady has no say in passing on skills.
Lin Zhongtian can teach whoever he wants to teach. As long as he makes a decision, the old lady will never object.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but cast his eyes on the eight big and small girls in the hall.
He had seen the big girl and the little girl. The big girl was gentle and lovable, but she had a good foundation and a smart mind. She was the one with the best martial arts talent among these girls.
The little girl is innocent and lively, eats a lot and likes to move. Because of her personality, she is the most favored one in the family.
Before returning to Chang'an, Yun Ye had told Lin Zhongtian to help discipline this girl, so as not to spoil her into a devil.
Lin Zhongtian asked him why he didn't discipline her himself. Yun Ye sighed and asked Lin Zhongtian if he wanted to guess who spoiled this girl like this...
He couldn't bear to do it himself, so he let Lin Zhongtian be the bad guy. This was something Yun Ye could do.
For the remaining six girls, Lin Zhongtian touched their roots and asked a few questions, and he almost mastered their temperaments and talents.
Among these girls, Yi Niang and Run Niang are a little older, their temperaments are fixed, and they are probably because they have lived a hard life. They are the kind of very sensible and pitiful children.
Xiaoxi and Xiaobei are erratic and don't like needlework. They like to play with guns and sticks. They dress like boys all day long. Their rooms are full of various knives, swords and guns sent by Cheng Chumo.
When they heard that their brother had a senior brother coming to visit and wanted to teach them skills, the two of them were the most active and excited.
Xiaodong was a money-grubber. After coming to the lobby, she was holding a jar with all copper coins jingling inside.
When she saw Lin Zhongtian, she called him "Brother Lin" sweetly, and then raised the jar in her hand and asked for a gift.
Such actions made Lin Zhongtian frown. He wanted to catch Yun Ye from the front line and ask him how he taught his sister.
As for the last Xiaonan, her personality was relatively stable. She just liked to eat, and she was not as active as Xiaoya. Now her little face was round and she had some signs of being a fat girl.
After seeing the eight girls, Lin Zhongtian nodded and divided them into three levels in his mind.
The first tier is naturally the most talented and obedient Da Ya.
Lin Zhongtian plans to improve the martial arts and internal strength of the low-level martial arts world, and teach her some top-notch skills. With the low-level spiritual objects in the first layer of the storage ring, it should not be a problem to cultivate her into a peerless genius in the low-level martial arts world.
The second tier is Xiao Ya, Xiao Xi and Xiao Bei, who like martial arts but have slightly less talent.
If they want to learn, unless Lin Zhongtian helps to improve their understanding, they can only learn some simple skills, such as the "Quanxin Heart Method" which has the most solid foundation and is easiest to learn under the guidance of someone.
As for the remaining four girls, they are the third tier.
They have poor roots and don't like to learn martial arts. Lin Zhongtian plans to teach them some health-preserving skills to ensure that they can live a hundred years. Just keep two or three people away from them.
Of course, this is a course in martial arts. Lin Zhongtian originally planned to teach some other things, but according to the old lady, Yun Ye had already considered this aspect, so Lin Zhongtian did not overstep his authority.
The housekeeper's aunt brought over the textbook that Yun Ye left before. After Lin Zhongtian read it, he understood.
In addition to the enlightenment books that existed in this era, Yun Ye also added a lot of self-edited mathematics textbooks. It seems that he intends to use mathematics to enlighten these sisters.
The housekeeper's aunt proudly said that if the girls learn arithmetic well, they will be able to manage the family's finances and control the financial power when they marry into their husband's family.
Lin Zhongtian knew that this should be what Yun Ye said at the beginning.
It's a pity that these little things don't appreciate it very much and have no idea how important this ability is.
As soon as Yun Ye left, except for Yi Niang, Run Niang and Daya, the remaining ones all relaxed their arithmetic studies.
However, now that Lin Zhongtian has arrived, the morning classes that have been suspended for several months will be restarted.
After learning the results of the bone-touching test from Lin Zhongtian, some of the eight little girls were happy and some were worried.
But no matter how reluctant the sad person is, he can only accept it dejectedly in the face of the dual pressure of Lin Zhongtian and the old lady.
So, on this day when everyone was celebrating the great victory on the front line, the ladies and cousins in the back house of the Yun family were in a gloomy mood.
…
…
Three days passed by in a hurry, and when the rooster crowed in the early morning, eight little girls were already dancing in the courtyard.
Lin Zhongtian moved a bamboo deck chair and sat on the balcony on the second floor of the attic. While glancing at the eight girls dancing to the sound of chickens below, he leisurely nibbled on the royal fruit sent from the palace.
In just three days, he managed to keep these eight girls in submission.
Even Xiaoya, who was always noisy, got up early to do morning exercises honestly, and seemed to be more active than Xiaoxi and Xiaobei.
Regarding this situation, the old lady of the Yun family acted very calmly.
She has a very strong filter for Yun Ye. In her eyes, her grandson is a disciple of the gods and can do anything. Lin Zhongtian, as Yun Ye's senior brother, naturally has to be the same.
However, the female relatives of the Yun family from other aunts' generation are different.
Although Lin Zhongtian only subdued eight young girls, they got along with these girls after all and knew how difficult these little things were.
Lin Zhongtian did this lightly and without any trace, which actually made them awe, and their words and deeds became much more respectful when they met him on weekdays.
The housekeeper's aunt, who had previously become interested in Lin Zhongtian, has long since given up her love, and instead treats the children of gods and otherworldly masters with respect...
While Lin Zhongtian was leisurely eating fruit, the housekeeper's aunt climbed up to the attic and stopped behind Lin Zhongtian, with a tangled look on her face, as if he was hesitating whether to speak at this time.
Lin Zhongtian glanced at her and said something incoherently.
"not see!"
The housekeeper's aunt was startled and said subconsciously: "How do you know?"
Lin Zhongtian said without looking back: "You don't have to worry about it. Tell the people in the Duke's Mansion to take back the gift parked outside the door!"
"I have always been an arrogant person. I hate worldliness the most. I am willing to teach these girls. Apart from the fact that they are little Ye Zi's biological sisters, they are also my own whim. As for the personal relationship between Duke Lu and his junior brother, it is his junior brother's business and has nothing to do with me. Duke Guo There is no need for the government to set its sights on me..."
"As I said before, I won't accept a disciple. No one from the powerful generation in Chang'an can impress me."
Having said this, Lin Zhongtian paused and added: "Of course, if the Wu family comes, then that's another matter."
The little girl of the Wu family is still a promising talent, but in the original work, she is Yun Ye's apprentice. Lin Zhongtian has no intention of overstepping his duties. At most, he can protect this future apprentice for Yun Ye as soon as possible.
Hearing Lin Zhongtian's added words, the housekeeper's aunt was stunned for a moment, but she still bowed respectfully and exited the attic.
When the footsteps gradually faded away, Lin Zhongtian put down the fruit and glanced at the tall courtyard wall of the Yun family.
The news of his coming to the Yun family was strictly blocked by the old lady.
In the entire Chang'an, apart from Li Er who guessed his whereabouts, only the Cheng Yaojin family who had received a letter from Cheng Chumo's family knew of his existence.
Perhaps because of Cheng Chumo's instructions, Duke Lu's mansion did not come to visit immediately. Only yesterday afternoon, the old lady of the Cheng family sent a servant to deliver the fruit rewarded by the palace.
After the old lady accepted it, she kept only a little and sent all the rest to Lin Zhongtian.
Lin Zhongtian knew something was wrong when he saw these royal fruits. Today, Duke Lu's mansion indeed sent another big gift.
With the friendship between the Cheng family and the Yun family, there was no need to be so polite. The Duke's mansion had prepared a big gift, and it was obviously for him.
