Chapter 320 Bicycles Become a Sensation!
The children were just curious about the excitement outside. Now that their curiosity has been satisfied, they've obediently gone back to class.

After a day of classes, Xiao Ran and the others returned to the villa. Meanwhile, Xiao Ruoying contacted the bicycle manufacturer and began preparing the bicycles according to the order she had received at the supermarket before returning.

Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi were discussing kindergarten curriculum.

Princess Yuzhang has also returned today.

"Little Nangjun~ Look at the sheep~" the little princess said, pointing at the TV.

This time, Xiao Ran didn't turn on the TV directly, but asked, "Sizi, did you forget something?"

The little princess looked at Xiao Ran with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Ran pointed to the schoolbag he bought for the little princess, "Did our Sizi do her homework today?"

The little princess then remembered that she still had homework to do.

Xiao Ran said, "Let's do our homework first, and then we'll see Yangyang, okay?"

The little princess nodded obediently, "Okay~"

Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang nodded obediently.

The three little ones sat at the desk that Xiao Ran had specially prepared for them, doing their homework diligently, while Xiao Ran, Li Lizhi, and Princess Yuzhang sat on the sofa discussing kindergarten curriculum.

Xiao Ran said, "Now that we've arrived in the Tang Dynasty, things will inevitably change. I don't have much time, but I can still take them around."

Princess Yuzhang also said, "I'm not that busy now, so I can share the burden."

Xiao Ran thought for a moment about the modern teaching model and said, "Now there are only three or four classes a day, and it is difficult to finish learning what needs to be learned. So it would be best to make a timetable like this one."

After all, the teaching tasks in the Tang Dynasty were actually more extensive than in modern times. Children in the Tang Dynasty not only had to learn modern knowledge, but also the things that should be learned in the Tang Dynasty, such as the Four Books and Five Classics.

Li Lizhi thought for a moment and said, "Then I will teach these Four Books and Five Classics."

Princess Yuzhang also took over the pinyin and math lessons that Li Lizhi had previously taught her.

Xiao Ruoying's class was a craft class, while Xiao Ran's class was like a physical education class.

There are no craft classes or physical education classes every day; usually, there's only one class per week.

The remaining courses are interspersed throughout the curriculum.

In addition to these, there are also art classes.

Xiao Ran had already decided on the teacher.

"Your Majesty, I plan to have Yan Liben teach them painting. What do you think?"

“Yan Liben? So it was him,” Li Shimin said.

Back when Li Shimin was still the Prince of Qin, Yan Liben served as a treasury officer in Li Shimin's household. The treasury officer was a trusted confidant who served the emperor closely. This position had to be held by a member of a noble family, and the person had to be "talented," meaning someone with outstanding abilities.

Li Shimin said, "His painting skills are indeed outstanding, unmatched by others."

Xiao Ran also said, "Based on Yan Liben's painting skills, I think no one is more suitable to be the art teacher than him."

Actually, having Yan Li teach those children would be a waste of his talents, but unfortunately, he is truly talented.

Li Shimin nodded. "I wholeheartedly agree. In that case, let's summon Yan Liben tomorrow and see what he thinks."

The next day, the little princesses went to kindergarten, while Xiao Ran and Li Shimin waited for Yan Liben at the Lizheng Hall.

Yan Liben had just finished discussing matters in the morning when he came to see Li Shimin without stopping.

"Your Majesty, I have come to pay my respects." Yan Liben bowed to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded and said directly, "Did you know that the kindergarten at the university in Taipingfang has recently opened?"

Yan Liben was naturally aware of this. In fact, when the university was being built, the person in charge of the construction even went to Yan Liben to offer some suggestions because they wanted to incorporate some of the architecture of the Tang Dynasty.

At this point, Yan Liben said, "Your subject understands."

Li Shimin nodded.

"In that case, I intend to have you teach students. What do you think?"

Yan Liben paused for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Four Books and Five Classics are not my forte."

Li Shimin said, "It's not about the Four Books and Five Classics, it's about having you teach them painting."

Yan Liben becomes interested when painting is mentioned.

In truth, he didn't care much about official positions in the court; what he loved most was painting. Hearing Li Shimin say this, Yan Liben replied almost without hesitation, "Your subject will certainly do his utmost."

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction and pointed to Xiao Ran, saying, "This is Xiao Ran. He will be in charge of things at the kindergarten. You two can discuss it yourselves."

After saying this, Li Shimin went to find Li Chengqian to ask him if there was anything he couldn't handle recently.

As for Xiao Ran and Yan Liben, Yan Liben was still somewhat curious about Xiao Ran.

So many novel things have recently appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who isn't blind or deaf can know about them, so Yan Liben naturally knows about them too.

At this very moment, a strange face named Xiao Ran appeared, following Li Shimin around. His attitude and behavior were somewhat odd, so they naturally noticed him and knew that Xiao Ran was the one who would change the Tang Dynasty.

Yan Liben naturally wanted to investigate this intriguing person.

Xiao Ran wasn't afraid of being watched, so he didn't say anything about it and went straight to discussing business.

"Here's the schedule. Danqing is the course you'll be responsible for. What do you think? As for how to teach it, that's up to you."

Yan Liben took the notebook and looked at it. Actually, painting didn't account for a particularly large proportion of the class. Like physical education and handicrafts, there was only one class per week.

Yan Liben had no objection to the course; it was just a class, so he readily agreed.

"Don't worry, young master, I understand," Yan Liben said.

Things were progressing so smoothly that Xiao Ran was in a great mood.

At this moment, Yan Liben put away his timetable, thought for a moment, and asked, "Young master, when will the bicycle arrive?"

Xiao Ran said, "It should have arrived by now."

This morning, Li Lizhi took her three little princesses to kindergarten because it was her first class of the morning.

Princess Yuzhang, on the other hand, attended the second lesson.

So he went with Xiao Ruoying to deliver the bicycle.

Although a lot of bicycles were needed, fortunately, they didn't need to be pulled over one by one by a cart. They could simply be tied together and the guards could push them over.

The supermarket was still packed with people; those who had reserved bicycles yesterday were already waiting there.

However, upon seeing Princess Yuzhang, they could only wait in place, no matter how anxious they were.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu have been extremely busy ever since they started selling bicycles.

After all, everyone knows that the two of them are helping out at the supermarket, and no one knows better than them when the bicycle will arrive.

Some people even gave them gifts, trying to get them to leave a bicycle for them.

However, too many people wanted it, so the two of them refused outright, saying they could only wait until the bicycle arrived and then let them know as soon as possible. As for whether they could actually buy it, they didn't know.

Yesterday, the staff who had been waiting at the supermarket entrance went back and informed customers of the pre-orders. Almost every store had ordered a bicycle, and some even ordered more than one. Furthermore, according to the introduction, there were even higher-end bicycles available, so naturally, they didn't want to be left behind.

After Princess Yuzhang and Xiao Ruoying arrived at the supermarket with their bicycles, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief. They instructed the guards to maintain order and then began checking the bicycles against the list.

Pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in one hand.

Seeing that they could handle the situation on their own, Princess Yuzhang and Xiao Ruoying returned to Taipingfang.

After all, the second lesson was Princess Yuzhang's math class.

Inside the classroom, the little princess sat attentively in her seat.

He looked at Li Lizhi with a pair of big eyes very seriously.

In this lesson, Li Lizhi started by teaching the Three Character Classic.

Soon, the first class ended, and Princess Yuzhang had already arrived at the door, just in time for the get out of class to end.

The children were eager to go out and play after class, but Li Lizhi stopped them.

"Everyone, please wait a moment," Li Lizhi said.

The children were very obedient; although they were a little confused, they still sat back down in their original seats.

At this moment, Li Lizhi placed a stack of papers in the hands of the little princess and Di Renjie, and said, "Could our two class monitors please distribute the timetables to the other children?"

The little princess was the first to respond.

"Good~"

Di Renjie nodded very steadily.

The little princess tiptoed, took out a timetable from her hand, and placed it on the other children's table.

Di Renjie was faster than the little princess, so he could share more of the burden.

The course schedules were distributed very quickly.

Only then did Li Lizhi ask, "Do any of the children recognize the words on the timetable?"

Some of the children who come to class have already started learning, and the course schedule is kept as simple as possible, so some children can still understand it.

Li Lizhi said, "From now on, it won't just be me teaching you; you'll have other teachers too."

"Today's second period is math class, which is the counting class we learned yesterday, and your math teacher is Weiyang."

As she spoke, Princess Yuzhang walked in.

The little princess clapped enthusiastically.

Princess Yuzhang smiled and said, "From now on, I will also be one of your teachers. I will teach you pinyin and math. Besides me, you will have other teachers. And the next class will be my class."

The little princess's eyes lit up, and she spoke first, "Hello, Rolls~"

The other children followed suit, saying, "Hello, teacher."

Princess Yuzhang smiled and nodded.

Actually, according to the time, the second class should have started by now, but since everyone is a child, they definitely can't sit still for two classes in a row. Not to mention, they are still young and need to use the restroom.

After watching the children play for a while, Princess Yuzhang said, "Alright, children, it's time for us to go to class now."

With that, Princess Yuzhang led a group of children back to the classroom and asked, "Did everyone do their homework last night?"

The little princess immediately took out her homework from her schoolbag.

She was very focused when she did her homework yesterday, and now she can't wait to finish it.

The other children also took out their workbooks.

Apart from the assignments for the three little princesses, the rest of the assignments were all made of Xuan paper, and there was quite a lot of it stacked up. So Princess Yuzhang naturally couldn't let the little princesses help her, and she went down to collect them herself.

After collecting the items, Princess Yuzhang said, "Alright, let's start class now."

Yesterday we counted from one to ten, so today we should continue from there.

The current teaching pace is actually a bit slow, but the children in the kindergarten have different levels of education and are of different ages, so we can only try to proceed step by step.

After the lesson was finished, Princess Yuzhang asked them to practice these numbers on their own, including those from yesterday.

She took the opportunity to look at her homework.

The three little princesses naturally used pencils, while the others used calligraphy brushes.

Actually, young children don't have enough wrist strength, so it's difficult for them to write with a calligraphy brush. However, it's clear that everyone is doing their homework very seriously, with only a few not being very neat.

After reviewing the homework, Princess Yuzhang led everyone in a review of the lesson before taking the children to lunch.

Today's lunch was still a mix of meat and vegetables.

"Little Nang-jun~" The little princess saw Xiao Ran at first glance in the cafeteria.

Xiao Ran walked over and sat down next to the little princess.

"Are you tired from studying today, Sizi?"

The little princess shook her head, "No way~ I'm going to class while I'm eating porridge~"

Xiao Ruoying remarked quietly from the side, "I didn't expect there to be kids who like going to school."

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes at her and continued speaking to the little princess, "As long as our Sizi likes it, that's fine, but don't overwork her. We're still young, you know?"

The little princess nodded very seriously.

After lunch comes the lunch break, and the first class in the afternoon is Yan Liben's painting class.

Xiao Ran, Li Lizhi, and Princess Yuzhang were all waiting outside the classroom. Yan Liben confirmed that he had arrived on time, but he did not expect that there would be so many people at the door when he arrived.

Just as "Your Highness the Eldest Princess" Yan Liben was about to bow, he was stopped by Li Lizhi.

“Teacher Yan, within the school, we have no other distinction in status; we are all just teachers.”

Yan Liben hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran smiled and said, "That's right, Uncle, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Yan Liben nodded hesitantly.

Seeing that Yan Liben was a little uncomfortable, Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang took their leave, and Xiao Ran led Yan Liben into the classroom.

Seeing Xiao Ran enter, the little princess's eyes lit up, "Little Prince~"

Xiao Ran smiled at the little princess, then addressed all the children in the classroom: "Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Ran, you can call me Teacher Xiao, and I will be your PE teacher from now on."

Although they didn't know what a physical education teacher was, the children in the classroom still clapped as usual.

Xiao Ran continued, "And this Teacher Yan is your teacher Danqing for this class."

The children present applauded again.

Yan Liben was still a little unaccustomed to such a warm welcome.
