It has always been his interest to study and with such a perfect teacher in front of him, how could he let him off?

Long Qian Xing smiled slightly when he saw this scene. He was the one who asked Song Chuan to carry that book around because he knew that Feng Ao Kuai would definitely be interested. There were still two other boys, but he could take care of them by provoking them.

His grandmother wanted to talk with Nan Hua alone.

"Grandmother," Nan Hua greeted when she saw Old Madam Long who sat on her garden. In front of her were a large variety of food. It was clear that they were all prepared for Long Qian Xing\'s birthday party celebration.

Old Madam Long\'s eyes lit up when she saw them. She laughed. "Little Girl, you\'ve finally arrived. Come and eat the food. Grandma have asked the servants to prepare a lot of nutritious meal for you."

"Yes, Grandma."

Seeing Nan Hua ate obediently, Old Madam Long\'s smile widened. Compared to her rebellious granddaughter, Long Xu Nian, Old Madam Long liked this small girl much more. After all, her own granddaughter was someone who liked to scheme around and even created mess that she couldn\'t clean up.

It was this little girl who was more sensible and smart to be able to escape unscathed without even attracting any attention to her.

Thus, Old Madam Long liked her even more.

"Grandma, do you mind if I bring Young Master Nan and Young Master Feng to have a spar?" Long Qian Xing asked when he saw his grandmother glaring at him. He knew that it was time for him to call these two brats to come with him or his grandmother would never let him off.

"I don\'t mind. You boys should have more exercise so that you can stay healthy." Old Madam Long smiled.

Nan Luo\'s jaw dropped.

Did he not have enough exercise back home? He was already almost tortured every single day because his grandfather never let him off even the slightest bit when he was training. Now, he had to train again?

Come on!

Feng Ao Si also blinked his eyes.

He felt as if he was shot down even though he did nothing. He was only eating and now Old Madam Long said that he lacked exercise?

Was he that fat?

"Yes, Grandmother. Lin Yuan is already waiting at the field and I\'m sure that he\'ll be happy to be able to train with you two." Long Qian Xing smiled.

Lin Yuan.

Upon recalling that merchant who introduced Traveling Doctor Liu to Nan Hua, Nan Luo\'s expression turned a bit dark. Because Nan Hua was now splitting her time to learn about medicine and also learning martial arts, the time he spent with his twin sister had been reduced.

Thanks to that, he had been bearing grudges against Lin Yuan.

"That would be great." Nan Luo smiled. "I also want to have a spar against Brother Lin Yuan."

Beside him, Feng Ao Si suddenly shuddered. Since when did Nan Luo developed such a scary expression? He thought that the kindest out of his brother and cousins were Nan Luo but it seemed that he needed to reevaluate it again.

"Sure." Long Qian Xing smiled.

Of course, he would never tell Nan Luo that the reason why Lin Yuan knew about Traveling Doctor Liu in the first place was because he brought that man along when his grandmother came to visit.

Hmm, Lin Yuan was still on the field since Long Qian Xing asked him to wait there. There would be a good show to see.

*sneeze*

On the field, Lin Yuan rubbed his nose in confusion. He looked at the sky as he was wondering whether this was sign for him to be able to get massive profit like what his father managed to do in the past.

Little did he know that it was the sign of another month staying on the bed because of broken bones.

Even his father would look at him pitifully when he saw his son getting beaten up from time to time. Thankfully, Long Qian Xing always provided him with enough medicine to help him recover faster or his business would never develop.

"Hua\'er."

"Yes, Grandmother?" Nan Hua could notice that Long Qian Xing purposely pulled everyone away from her. She could guess that the real reason was because Old Madam Long wished to talk to her privately.

"Do you know that there will be a banquet soon?"

Nan Hua tilted her head. Logically speaking, she was still 9 years old, going to 10. It meant that she would need an adult to accompany her if she wished to participate in any banquet. With her staying in her grandfather\'s residence, she hadn\'t had the chance to participate in many banquet in the past.

Because of that, she hadn\'t paid any attention.

Old Madam Long sighed. "Her Highness Princess Yue will hold her last banquet since she will have her hairpin ceremony soon then leave the Capital City."

Hairpin ceremony was the ceremony given to girls who had reached adulthood. For children in this era, they would reach adulthood when they were 15 years old. It meant that girls who had become an adult would be able to get married.

Since the one they talked about was Princess Yue, Nan Hua naturally understood that she would be married in a political marriage.

"Which kingdom?" Nan Hua asked curiously.

Old Madam Long was taken aback by Nan Hua\'s question. She thought that the little lass would be more worried about her attendance, but she was instead asking about this. She smiled faintly.. "Zhang Xu Kingdom."
