Chapitre 187: A Vow

Nianzu looked at the sheets on which Chuntao had written the basic Chinese characters. He smiled, seeing how neatly she had written the characters. "Did you learn them? Shall I ask you?" Nianzu queried Chuntao who bowed her head. Nianzu asked her a few characters which Chuntao answered correctly. This impressed Nianzu. 

"You are a fast learner, Miss," Nianzu stated, and took out a book from the drawer. "Let's start with the first lesson," pronounced Nianzu. Chuntao nodded and listened keenly to whatever Nianzu was telling her. After studying for two hours, Chuntao took her to leave.

But before leaving Chuntao asked permission to go to her home. "You don't need to ask for my permission, Miss. Do you want to go by a palanquin there?" Nianzu humbly asked.
