The First Lesson in the Special Class!
Chapter 83 The First Lesson in the Special Class!
"Miss, it’s time to go to school."
The next morning, Xiaowu shouted outside the door. It’s yesterday that they realized that Su Li was not the first-class lecturer but a more senior special-class lecturer. The class that she would teach was called Class Special One by students.
After getting the news, the two guys were too excited to get sleep until midnight. They thought that they just followed an ordinary lecturer when they saw that Su Li was at such a young age. But they didn’t expect that she actually was a special-class lecturer.
They couldn’t help laughing when they thought of the scene when the administrator of the school came to recruit people, other manservants even were reluctant to go.
Su Li got up early to practice the martial arts. When she heard they shout outside the door, she changed the clothes of the special-class lecturer unhurriedly. Then she came out without anything in her hands. When she saw a carriage and Xiaowu who was waiting beside it, she nodded slightly at once.
The special-class school was a little far away, and her dress was too ostentatious. So, it was better for her to sit in the carriage.
About five minutes later, the horse stopped with a whinny. Su Li came down and stood in front of the special-class school. Feng Qingru told her that it was called Nuanfeng Pavilion. There was only one room in the school. There was no wall and all sides were windows which could be used as walls. The structure was very delicate. It was built by Mo Jiamo, the first craftsman in the Qinghe Province.
Su Li told Xiaowu to wait outside the courtyard. She opened the door and went in.
The next moment, under the gaze of four girls, Su Li calmly walked to the teacher’s desk and glanced at the four people. She recognized that one of them was Gong Min.
Gong Min saw Su Li and nodded slightly to greet her.
Su Li gently nodded and turned her head. The first thing that caught her eyes were the girl in red like fire. It was not because that the three girls were not good enough, but because that the girl in a long red dress had acquired sixth hurdle of cultivation, which was just the same as Fang Yuan’s cultivation. As for the other two girls, both of them were common people at 17 or 18 years old.
"Qinghe Town houses so many unnoticed talents. Since there is a 15-year-old girl who acquired sixth hurdle, there must be inborn masters. I should be careful…"
The thought flashed in Su Li’s mind, then she said aloud, "It’s the first time for us to meet each other. My name is Su Li. You must have heard about it, and I will teach you embroidery in the future. In the first lesson today, I’m not going to teach you anything, but I’m going to do a quiz to test your embroidery level. Now tell me your name one by one. It will be better if you can introduce yourself briefly."
Su Li said simply and straightforward.
The girl in red showed admiration in her eyes. Then she said proudly, "Su Li, I heard that you are not from a very good family, but…I like your character. I tell you that I’m Yan Hongxiu. I live in the Satrap’s Mansion. Can you understand?"
Then Yan Hongxiu bit her lips and looked at Su Li with a slight irony. She was waiting for Su Li’s reaction. Could such a silly little girl be her teacher? The old woman must be too confused to think clearly.
At this moment, she heard a cold voice.
"Yan Hongxiu, right?"
Su Li seemed not to hear the last part of Yan Hongxiu’s words. She said slightly, "In the future, watch your tone and respect teachers in class. Since you are sitting here, you must abide by the etiquette. Okay, next one."
Yan Hongxiu was instantly stupefied. She thought that Su Li might pretend to be calm and to praise her, so as to pass the topic. Or she could cover up her panic hurriedly in an awkward way. But she never thought that Su Li would react so…ruthlessly!
Yes, ruthlessly!
It seemed that Su Li didn’t even hear that she was the satrap’s daughter. No, she heard, but she didn’t care.
The two misses from rich families were slightly surprised when they saw that Yan Hongxiu was criticized. They immediately dismissed their thoughts and said obediently.
"I’m Ran Zidan from a family doing business. My family has a lot of assets.
"I’m Dong Xiaoxuan. My family also does business, just like Miss Ran’s family."
Seeing that Yan Hongxiu was criticized, Gong Min could not help laughing in her heart. Then she said aloud, "I’m Gong Min. Lecturer Su, maybe we should start the quiz."
Su Li shook her head slightly and frowned, "Senior Gong said that there are five students in the special class. There are only four of you. Where is the other one?"
"It…"
Ran Zidan and Dong Xiaoxuan looked at
Gong Min said, "The other one is Jin Ruolan, and she is the apple of the Jin Family’s palm in the provincial capital. She is always the most punctual one in ordinary days. I don’t know what happened today…"
"Jin Ruolan."
Su Li murmured and sat down. Then she said leisurely, "Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards. My master is also a teacher from school. He doesn’t start teaching in his class until all students are there. As his student, I certainly follow the tradition. Do you have any opinions?"
The four girls were shocked. What was that?
"Lecturer, you’re slowing down our course progress. It doesn’t make sense!" Yan Hongxiu immediately stood up and said angrily. Did she think that she was Nanny Gong? How could you put on airs in the first lesson?
"Yan Hongxiu, are you blaming me?"
Su Li frowned. She tilted her head and laughed, "Why do you blame me? Should not you girls blame Jin Ruolan? If it weren’t for her, we could have started the course. Your time is time, isn’t mine? You’re waiting for her and so am I! For this reason, should not we five all blame Jin Ruolan?"
Yan Hongxiu was confused by Su Li’s words. Although she thought her words were weird, she could not find any flaws.
"Jin Ruolan!"
Yan Hongxiu’s beautiful eyes were full of anger. She hated Jin Ruolan very much at ordinary times. Every day Jin Ruolan followed her like a fly. She flattered Nanny Gong in the same way. What a nauseous girl.
The other three were a little older, and they knew that Su Li was transfering their anger to Jin Ruolan on purpose. But they felt a little disgust spontaneously to Jin Ruolan. In Su Li’s view, Jin Ruolan obviously became a person with no sense of responsibility.
"Huan!"
Yan Hongxiu couldn’t help but shout, and a little maid answered her in a clear voice out of the door, "Miss, I am here."
"Go and call Jin Ruolan over. I’ll see how arrogant she is. Won’t she even come over when I invite her!"
Seeing Yan Hongxiu was furious, Huan immediately obeyed the order and left in shock.
An hour passed. A slim figure appeared in front of the Nuanfeng Pavilion with fragrance.
The school was quiet and the atmosphere was very solemnly.
Jin Ruolan coughed deliberately and walked with quick and short steps. She sat next to Yan Hongxiu and said to her in a very friendly voice with expectation, "Sister Hongxiu, why did you call me here?"
Jin Ruolan was still surprised up to now and she didn’t expect Yan Hongxiu would call her suddenly. Did that mean that her relationship with Yan Hongxiu was further developed? The girl had always been indifferent to her before.
"Who is your sister?" Yan Hongxiu was instantly annoyed when she heard Jin Ruolan’s words, "Do you know there are classes today? Why didn’t you come over?"
Jin Ruolan’s smile on her face faded away and then came back. She said, "The lecturer was changed, right? And it’s a little girl. It’s coincident that I had to receive an important elder at home, so I didn’t come. But when I saw Huan, I immediately came."
There were full of disdain in Jin Ruolan’s words, as if she didn’t see Su Li sitting by the desk at all. She chatted with Yan Hongxiu as if nothing had happened.
When hearing what she said, Yan Hongxiu instantly smiled and didn’t know how to explain it.
At this moment, Su Li began to talk.
"You mean that you don’t want to come as long as it is my class, right, Jin Ruolan?"
Jin Ruolan stopped smile and regained the calm look of a girl from a respectable family and turned to laugh, "Ah, I’m so sorry. I didn’t notice that Lecturer Su is here. I didn’t mean that. I just had an important elder visit at home. I…"
"Then you mean…" Su Li had a touch of evil intention in the corner of her mouth, "Is the special course of the Qinghe Girls’ School not as important as the elder you received?"
Jin Ruolan’s face was pale, and she waved her hands again and again, "I didn’t mean that."
"Then what do you mean, huh? Do you despise the lecturer of the Qinghe Girls’ School?"
Su Li suddenly said aloud, which was more overwhelming. Jin Ruolan was so frightened that she almost cried.
"I was wrong, Lecturer Su! I made impertinent remarks before. Please punish me, Lecturer Su!"
Jin Ruolan knelt on the floor and made apologies repeatedly. She wanted to take advantage of Su Li in eloquence. Unexpectedly, she was thoroughly defeated by Su Li in their first chat.
She didn’t even know why she was so afraid and why she lost?
The other four girls were also shocked. She was the apple of the Jin Family’s eyes. How could she be frightened by Su Li’s a few words?
Yan Hongxiu looked blank and did not seem to understand why Jin Ruolan, who was just arrogant, suddenly became like this.
"In this case, since it’s the first time that you make mistake, I won’t punish you. Go back to your seat and let’s start the quiz."
Seeing Su Li wave her hands, Jin Ruolan immediately felt she was granted an amnesty. She sat back obediently, but her hands trembled slightly.
Su Li noticed that and a hint of smile crawled on her mouth.
"Jin Family, we haven’t been in touch for a long time.
"Let’s test the basic stitches for the first quiz. In half an hour, you should embroider an osmanthus flower with basic stitches." Su Li said lightly, "I’ll embroider with you. Let’s begin."
The five people on their seats stared slightly when hearing what Su Li said and dared not have a delay. They immediately began to embroider.
The quiz was a little difficult for them, but they could make it if they performed their supernormal abilities. But no one knew how long would Su Li take to finish the embroidery.
The entire Nuanfeng Pavilion became quiet, and only the movement of getting the thread through the eye of the needle was repeated. Even the sound of opening the needle box became a little harsh.
Gong Min was focusing on embroidering the third petal. Suddenly, she saw a white tender hand gently grasped her hand.
"Try to deviate a half-inch degree and start to embroider from here."
Su Li’s voice slowly came to her ears. Gong Min carried out Su Li’s order calmly without any hesitation. She was the only student who had seen Su Li’s embroidery. She certainly knew that Su Li’s embroidery skills were even better than her grandma’s.
After changing the degree, Gong Min found that her arms were much more comfortable. And the petals seemed to be livelier, not as rigid as before.
"Su Li… oh no. Lecturer Su is definitely a genius!"
Gong Min praised Su Li secretly and suddenly she realized something. Su Li came to her at this time, so did that mean…She couldn’t help looking up and saw that the embroidery board of the teacher’s desk had been erected. The osmanthus flower seemed to be just picked from the tree.
Let’s skipped Gong Min’s reaction. Su Li went to Yan Hongxiu’s side and saw her embroidery. She wondered all of a sudden.
What was that?
Osmanthus flower? It looked like a lump of tofu dregs.
"How can the needle be so flimsy? It’s almost broken. What trouble it is…"
Yan Hongxiu whispered bitterly. Suddenly she felt a breath beside her. She immediately looked up and saw a pair of eyes full of questions.
Yan Hongxiu immediately flushed at once.
"You are not supposed to see it!"
Yan Hongxiu hastily covered her embroidery board, "Aren’t you embroidering with us? What are you doing here? Do you want to learn our embroidery skills in secret?"
Su Li curled her lips when hearing what Yan Hongxiu said. Then she pointed to the embroidery board on the teacher’s desk. Yan Hongxiu subconsciously looked to the direction that Su Li pointed.
