Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Dean Zhang stroked his beard and waved his hand,
"My younger siblings can just call her Yishan. She's not too old or too young. She's already fifteen years old. It's not okay for her to be so fussy. Xiaowu is still steady and a student."
"Dad, how can you say that about your daughter? I also have merits, okay? Mom even praised me today and asked me to bring you cakes. If I had known you didn't like me so much, you should have eaten all the cakes on the way.
I won’t leave any piece for you.”
Zhang Yishan said, looking back at the box the girl was carrying. The girl noticed the look in the girl's eyes and immediately hugged the pastry box in her arms, as if she was afraid that she would snatch it away.
"You...you girl, you don't even know how many pastries I have deceived, but you dare to destroy the body in front of me. Seeing that I didn't tell your mother, she made you embroider at home, leaving you unable to go out for half a month.
."
"You old man, if you can't convince me, you'll be playing dirty tricks. I'll tell my mother later that you borrowed a stack of good rice paper from the bookstore without her consent. I guess the shopkeeper of the bookstore will come to collect the bill soon.
."
"Ahem...you bad girl..."
Bai Yunxi and others looked at the father and daughter in surprise, and at the same time they were shocked and couldn't help but be amused.
The scholar who is usually aloof and aloof turns out to be like this in private, a standard slave girl.
Just when they were watching with great interest, they were interrupted by someone. Mu Qing ran over and said, "Dean, Mr. Xie Dalang has asked for an audience. He is already waiting in the reception room."
"What is he doing here? The college is on holiday today."
"I don't know, but I said I was sending a message for the county magistrate." After Mu Qing finished speaking in a low voice, she saw Bai Yunxi and nodded to her as a greeting.
Dean Zhang stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then turned to look at Baiyun River,
"If my sister-in-law doesn't mind, just stay in the county for two days and let Yishan accompany you around the county."
"Don't bother me. I have a lot of things at home and I can't stay here. I have to rush back today. If I have time in the future, I won't bother you again."
Bai Yunxi chuckled and refused directly. It was the first time she met someone, so it was not acquaintance. She would be troublesome and would only make people annoying.
The reason why people were polite to her was not only because she was taking advantage of Lao Juren, but also because Xiaowu passed the examination as a scholar, so people looked up to her.
"In that case, Mu Qing, go to my study and bring the books on the table to An Sheng. Those are the provincial examination books I prepared for him."
Having said that, Dean Zhang did not forget to tell Xiao Wu,
"You take those books back and read them carefully. After the holiday is over, come directly to class. By the way, you can also take care of your apprenticeship."
Speaking of these words, Dean Zhang patted his head and turned to look at Baiyun Xi,
"I haven't told my younger siblings yet that I plan to accept An Sheng as my closed disciple. I made the decision without your consent. It's my fault. Originally, I had no such plan. With Brother Yunhui's guidance, An Sheng will definitely be better than his predecessor."
"I never thought something like this would happen to the Yunhui Brotherhood. I was anxious for a while, fearing that the pearl would be dusted, so I thought of accepting a disciple. I hope my brothers and sisters can forgive me."
Listening to Dean Zhang's explanation, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and immediately saluted, thanking Dean Zhang from the bottom of his heart for his love for Xiao Wu.
"It is his good fortune that Xiaowu can worship you as his teacher. To be honest, I am a young woman with limited knowledge about scientific examinations. I am worried about how this child will go in the future. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, there is a lack of light.
The road will certainly be bumpy and tortuous.”
"Every time I think about it, I am always worried. Now I am finally relieved. With Dean Zhang's personal guidance, Xiaowu's future will be bright."
Dean Zhang personally accepted Xiao Wu as his disciple, which was really beyond her expectation. She didn't expect that the old Juren had been gone for four years, and Yu Yin could still protect Xiao Wu once.
"Don't worry, Xiaowu will be your child from now on. He should be beaten and scolded. As a mother, I will never say anything about it."
It is a great blessing to have a famous teacher to guide you. Talent plus hard work, and having a famous teacher to guide you, is equivalent to stepping into the Jinshi family with one foot.
Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Dean Zhang laughed while stroking his beard.
"Brothers and sisters are really cheerful people. It is also a blessing for An Sheng to have such an open-minded mother like you. Don't worry, brothers and sisters. An Sheng is learning from me, and I will do my best to tutor him."
"As for whether we can make it all the way to success, we have done our best and leave the fate to God's will."
Bai Yunxi agrees with this,
"As the old saying goes, 70% depends on hard work and 30% depends on luck. Whatever the outcome is, we can only leave it to God. As long as we do our best and have a clear conscience, we will be worthy of the hard work along the way."
"Okay, okay, Xiaowu, you have heard it. It is God's will that we can continue our relationship as master and apprentice. Take advantage of this holiday to go back and have a good time with your family. After returning to the academy, you must concentrate on studying.
Scientific research."
"Yes, Dean." Xiao Wu bowed with utmost respect.
"Dad, don't I have to call him senior brother from now on?" Zhang Yishan glanced at Xiao Wu, then came to Dean Zhang's side and blinked.
"Xiaowu is two years older than you, so of course you have to call him senior brother. What's the problem?" Dean Zhang looked at his quirky daughter, stroking his beard and shaking his head.
"But I want to be a senior sister. I have been with dad for a long time, so it should be long. He should be a junior brother."
Dean Zhang stared at his daughter and raised his moustache, "You girl, you have been with dad since you were a child. In terms of how long you have been with your father, your senior brother can't compare to you. In this case, you have to be one of their senior sisters."
?”
"Elder brother has married a wife and has children. I'm old enough so I won't compete with him. But the fifth brother hasn't started yet, so how can I become a senior sister?"
Listening to his daughter's arrogant attitude, the old man raised his beard and said,
"You girl, all of my father's students are talented and knowledgeable. Apart from being my daughter, how can you compare to them in reading and writing? An Sheng is two years older than you. The books he has read are stacked up.
He's taller than you, so why are you comparing yourself to others?"
"Dad, turn your elbows outward. What we are talking about is how early or late you can get in, not your knowledge."
Zhang Yishan said, pouting and turning to look at Bai Yunxi, "Aunt Bai, do you think I can be a senior sister?"
Seeing the little girl looking at her eagerly, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle, "Actually, as long as Xiao Wu agrees, it will be fine for senior sisters and junior brothers."
"Aunt Bai is still smart. She is right, as long as Xiaowu Xiucai agrees." Zhang Yishan stared at Xiaowu with bright eyes, "What do you think, how about me being your senior sister?"
Before Xiao Wu could speak, Zhang Yishan immediately added,
"Of course, if I become your senior sister, I will definitely take good care of you. If you have any difficulties in the future, senior sister will never stand idly by."
