Chapter 279
"Okay, I got it." Orson nodded and praised Lit. "As expected of Lit, you can learn it in one go."
"Well, since you have learned all the characters, let's stop the original teaching plan for this morning." Orson said this and stretched. "Next is the break time, you can do whatever you want, and I will teach you the etiquette of the nobles in the afternoon."
"Oh, okay." Lit nodded.
"By the way, you can enter my room at will in the future, without asking me or others for permission." Orson said this, opened the door and walked out. "If someone tells you that you are not allowed to do this, you don't have to care too much, just ignore them."
"If my brother needs to ask for permission to enter my room, then I am a failure as a brother."
Then, he walked towards Lucius's room.
He wanted to report this good news to Lucius, so that Lucius would pay more attention to Lit.
…
“Come in.” Lucius had just gotten up and put on his coat when he heard a knock on the door. He thought it was a servant delivering breakfast.
After seeing that the person coming was his eldest son Orson, Lucius looked at him in surprise, and then smiled.
“Orson, why are you here? Oh, by the way, I asked about the room problem you mentioned yesterday. It seems that the servant in charge of cleaning the room forgot about it and cleaned it up that night.”
“Mary said she wanted to fire that servant. I thought I would give her another chance, so I kept her.”
“So that’s the case.” Orson nodded. “Father, I’m here to report on Lit’s study.”
“Oh? Have you started teaching Lit so soon?”
“Well, because the entrance test of the Imperial College is coming soon, we must prepare as soon as possible.” Orson said so.
“Haha, it seems that you are really a strict teacher.” Lucius smiled and joked. “So, how about it, do you think Lit is as good as you said yesterday?”
“Well.” Orson nodded. "More than that, I discovered Lit's strengths."
"He has a strong memory. When I took him to recognize the house this morning, he remembered everything in one go."
"Oh? That's a really good talent." A strong memory often means a strong learning ability, which can be a great help for the entrance test.
"I think so too." Orson nodded. "Then, it's the words. He claimed that he only attended a church school for one year, but when I showed Lit the literacy book, he could recognize all the words on it."
"Well, not bad." Lucius's opinion of Lit changed a little. "In this case, have you taught him anything related to fighting or magic?"
In the Empire, as a noble, if you don't know how to fight or magic, you will be ridiculed.
One of the hard requirements for graduating from the Imperial Academy is to obtain a fourth-level level recognized by the Adventurer Association in combat evaluation.
In this regard, the official explanation given by the academy is: "If you don't have strong strength, how can you talk about strong wisdom?"
Of course, Orson had already met this requirement when he was twelve years old.
Otherwise, how can you say he is a monster?
"Not yet, but in my opinion, Litt, who inherited your bloodline, will be stronger in fighting than in learning."
"Haha, well said." Lucius nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
His eldest son was very good at speaking, and he praised Litt and Lucius at the same time.
At this time, Mary also came in from outside.
"Master, the servants said you haven't gone to dinner yet, what's the matter?"
"Ah, sorry ma'am, I just woke up." Looking at Mary who came in, Lucius' words were a little apologetic.
Orson saw Mary come in and greeted her.
Then, Lucius said: "But I heard a good news."
"Oh?" Mary raised her eyebrows after hearing this, and looked at Lucius and Orson.
"Our child, Litt, Orson said that he has a very strong learning ability, and it can almost be said that he can remember everything he sees."
"Orson?"
"Well, I let Orson be Litt's teacher." Lucius said this and pointed at Orson. "I think that my brother's example can stimulate Lit's desire to learn."
"That being said, doesn't Orson have his own things to deal with?" Mary said, looking at Orson with a complicated look.
"Ah, mother, I'm fine. I've learned a lot from teaching Lit." Orson saw Mary looking at him and replied hurriedly.
"That's fine." Mary said leisurely, then turned and walked out the door. "Master, let's have dinner, otherwise the servants won't be able to prepare lunch."
"Okay, please let the lady call me." Lucius said, changed his clothes, and followed him out.
Orson stood there.
The look Mary gave him just now, Orson always felt that there was something else behind it...
At noon, the restaurant was much quieter than yesterday, with only a family of four sitting at the table.
"Yesterday was a banquet, so there were more rules. Today is just a normal meal, so there's no need to be too particular."
Looking at Lit sitting next to him tremblingly, Orson said with a smile.
"Yes." Mary also spoke up. "Leet, there's no need to be so nervous."
"Your brother Orson was praising you in front of us this morning, so you should stop pretending to be a child in front of us."
Chapter 12: Changing Evaluations
"Hey, is it true?" Lite said in surprise after listening to Mary's words.
"You kid, are you so happy when you mention Orson?" Mary said, chuckling. "Yes, your brother Orson praised you."
Liteuk turned his head and looked at Orson, who also smiled at him and nodded.
Then he turned back to look at Mary.
"Mother, it's true. How could Leeteuk pretend to be in front of his family?" Orson smiled to resolve Mary's sarcasm for Leeteuk.
"You are right, Li Te." Orson patted Li Te on the shoulder naturally.
profit
Te's body trembled, then he sat upright stiffly and nodded. "Yes...yes."
"Okay, it seems I've thought too much." Mary said with a smile.
She originally thought that Orson knew what to do after her advice yesterday, but she didn't expect that he was still stubborn.
He talks about loyalty, justice, benevolence and filial piety. Only children can believe this kind of thing.
The rest of the lunch time was spent in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.
Mary is not a fool. The period when Little first came into the house was when Lucius loved Little the most, and she would not fall out with Little directly.
If Lite is unhappy, isn't it because he is making Lucius unhappy?
Even if he wanted to flirt with Lucius, he would have to wait until Leeteuk settled down before he could catch Leeteuk's flaws or tricks.
If Orson is willing to help her, Mary is sure that Lucius's patience with Li Te will be worn away faster and faster, but now Orson doesn't know what is going on in his head, and he actually takes the initiative to speak for his rival Li Te.
Even if he sympathizes with his competitors, he actually wants to cultivate his own competitors.
Mary had never seen anyone like this.
Before this incident, Mary believed that Orson was born to be a superior ruler, but after these two days, Mary felt that her view of Orson was about to change.
The feeling of kindness should not exist in aristocratic families.
…
In the afternoon, Leeteuk finally returned to his room.
The layout of her room was almost the same as that of Orson's room. Plus, she stayed in Orson's room all day yesterday. When she returned to her room, she always had the illusion that she was in Orson's room.
Will I have to live in such a big house from now on?
Leeteuk's eyes widened and he looked around the room.
Finally, he turned his attention to the big bed in the center of the room.
Then, she threw herself onto the bed.
The soft mattress has excellent resilience, and Lite even feels like he can play on the trampoline on the bed.
After being alone, Leeteuk finally relaxed a little and began to expose the young man's playful nature.
Then, the door opened and a maid walked in from the door.
Leeteuk turned around in surprise and looked at the maid.
She felt that the maid in front of her looked familiar, and then she remembered that she seemed to be brother Orson's personal maid, named... Vivian.
Li Teuk glanced at the mess he had made on the bed, quickly climbed out of the bed, and then stood up straight.
"Um...I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to do it. I will make the bed later."
"Pfft." Vivian smiled, then walked forward, brushed her hands on the bed a few times, and rearranged the sheets.
"Master Li Te, you don't have to worry. No matter how messy the sheets are, we will be responsible for cleaning them up." Wei Wei An said this and looked at Li Te. "By the way, Master Orson asked you to go to his room."
"Ah, okay." Li nodded and walked out of the room.
Halfway through, he suddenly turned back and bowed to Vivian.
"Um...Miss Vivian, I'm so sorry. Thank you for helping me make the bed."
After saying this, without waiting for Vivian's reply, she turned and left, heading towards Orson's room.
"Master Orson is right, Master Li Te is indeed a good man..." Vivian stared at the door, stunned, then smiled and continued to help Li Te pack the bed.
Standing at the door of Orson's room, Li Te took a few deep breaths, then gently knocked on the door of the room, opened the door and walked in.
"Li Teuk is here?" Orson looked at Li Teuk who came in from outside.
"Well, Brother Osen...Osen."
Seeing Orson staring at him, Lite remembered that he had made an agreement with Orson yesterday that he would not need to call him brother from now on.
Although he didn't know why the other party didn't want to take advantage of him, Liteuk still did it.
"Well, that's right." Orson nodded with satisfaction. "What I'm going to teach you this afternoon is the etiquette of aristocrats."
"About the etiquette of the nobility, it has always been passed down orally from the nobility. Generally, children who grow up in aristocratic families can learn a lot from daily life without any instruction, but because you lived in the country before, Liteuk, Now that I am older, this method is not
Very applicable to you. "
"So, last night and during my lunch break today, I wrote some summaries on aristocratic etiquette. You can take a look." As he said this, he took out a notebook from the table behind him and handed it to Li. special.
"If you think the words are too ugly, I will read it to you. In short, this textbook is tailor-made for you. This is the only one in the empire. There are not many more."
"Well, thank you Orson!" Li Te said, took the notebook, and sat next to Orson.
"Take a look at the notes above. If you have any questions, ask me. By the way, I'm going to take you outside this afternoon. You can also see how I treat others and learn from me."
"I believe you can learn it soon. Come on." Orson said this and patted Lit's shoulder.
For some reason, every time I patted Lit's shoulder, this boy always straightened his body nervously.
Even though I didn't use much strength, patting shoulders is also a common way of encouragement between boys.
Could it be that Lit doesn't like physical contact with people?
Orson thought about it and felt that this might be the reason.
"Okay, you watch first, I'll go downstairs to get something." Orson said this, stood up, and left the space for Lit.
Lit opened the notes. The font on the notes was not as bad as Orson said, but very neat and beautiful.
Because the above mentioned are the essences summarized by Orson, the notes are not long. When Orson came back, Lit had read almost half of it.
"Is everything going well? I'm reading it." Orson brought two cups of coffee with sugar and handed one to Lit.
"Thank you..." Lit thanked him softly. "Orson's notebook is very clear, and the handwriting is beautiful. I can read it smoothly."
"That's good." Hearing Lit say this, Orson nodded with relief, then took a sip of coffee and started reading his book.

The girl with red hair and golden eyes was sitting in the box on the second floor, sipping the tea in the cup.
