Chapter 433 Jeng Ruyue’s Cousin (3)_1
"It’s really quite astonishing; this child will surely be scholarly material in the future. Perhaps our Liu family will even produce a First Scholar!" Zhao Suxin exclaimed, equally amazed.
Jeng Ruyue had not expected the little one to actually grasp the writing brush and give it a light tug. The infant, naturally weaker than an adult, let go as she pulled. Yet once released, the little one’s lips pursed, and he began to cry out loudly.
Frightened, Jeng Ruyue quickly stuffed the brush back into the infant’s hand, and he stopped crying.
How magical!
Even Lin Yuan was staring, dumbfounded. Could this child truly become what Liu Limin and Zhao Suxin suggested—a scholar?
Lady Fan and Lady Liu watched the little fellow with chuckles, Lady Fan patting her daughter-in-law’s hand: "He likes you, you share a fate. Don’t worry, you’ll have a little one of your own, too."
Jeng Ruyue was taken aback, then smiled radiantly, hoping that would be the case.
"When he has his ’grabbing test’ during the first-year celebration, we’ll know for sure if he’s cut out for scholarly pursuits," Lady Liu said as she playfully tapped at the corner of the infant’s mouth. The little one stuck out his tongue and licked his rosy lips, signaling he was hungry.
Lady Liu had given birth more than once before, so her milk came quickly, even if it wasn’t plentiful. But the infant was still small and didn’t need much to eat.
