"Who is your husband-in-law with?" The old lady drank all the bowl of porridge. She hadn't seen any meat in two days. She was really greedy.
Lin Joy looked puzzled, "What...who are you with?"
"Who will he choose to be a teacher, my old man or my troubled son?"
Lin Joy was still puzzled. Haven't you heard about this?
The old man came into the room and snorted, "Your troubled son is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dean Yue's voice really sounded outside, "Why don't I worry?"
"It wasn't me who said it, it was your mother who said it." The tone was still a little aggrieved, but Lin Yuxi felt that this was a perfect white lotus.
The old lady immediately said, "You are so unfilial, how can you worry about it? I am even afraid that you will die and not be reborn."
Dean Yue's face darkened, "As an old man, don't you have any taboos?"
"What a taboo. My son has been saying all day long that I'm looking for an old man. Prince Hell has heard it a long time ago. Maybe he's already written down my name. It's all your fault."
Dean Yue stopped arguing with her and went to the table to eat. The old man hummed and said, "We agreed to come once a month. Why do you come so often? Did you ask me to come?"
He was really disliked everywhere, but the food was so delicious that he couldn't put it down when he picked up his chopsticks. Otherwise, he would really throw away his chopsticks and leave to show them his courage.
The three of them ate all the food on the table, and Lin Yuxi was full again.
"Um... I want to ask, do you all want me to be your student?"
Dean Yue said, "He got the first grade in this exam, and he has always been excellent before. Naturally, I am willing to accept him as a student. This has nothing to do with you curing my mother."
Dean Yue would like to emphasize that he did not give Chen Zhongqian a backdoor and only chose him because he really liked him.
Lin Hexi smiled and nodded, then looked at the old man, "What about you? Do you also want me to be my husband?"
The old man thought of Chen Zhongqian's good calligraphy and clicked his tongue, "This kid looks like I did back then. If you train him well, he may accomplish a lot."
Before Lin Yiyi could speak, Dean Yue interrupted him, "You are already so old, why are you still bothering? Taking good care of yourself in old age is better than anything else."
"You care about me? I even taught you, and now you dare to steal someone from me?"
Lin Joy blinked and understood something again. It turned out that this old man was not only Dean Yue's stepfather, but also his teacher.
Although this old man has gray hair and a slovenly appearance, at first glance he is not an ordinary person.
Dean Yue said, "I'm not trying to rob you. It's just that Qingtai Mountain is a long way away and it's not easy for people to go there. Student Chen Zhongqian is weak and climbing the mountain is very hard."
"Then I will build the road for him." The old man said surprisingly, and the road construction was already planned.
Lin Yuxi felt proud when she saw them arguing over her husband.
As a result, both of them looked at her and said, "Tell me, who would it be better for your husband to be your disciple?"
Lin Yihe smiled and said, "It's all good. I can't make a decision on this. I can only ask Zhong Qian what he wants."
Lin Yuxi packed up the dishes and went to wash them. When he was leaving, the old man enthusiastically brought out a pack of dried meat.
"Make it yourself and take it back to comfort the children."
Lin Yuxi's eyes lit up, and she was very interested in everything to eat here.
Dean Yue said, "This is a bribe."
"What kind of bribe is a bribe? I've come all the way to take care of you, why shouldn't I give you a thank you gift?"
Dean Yue could only snort, turned around and entered the room.
The old man winked at Lin Joy and said, "Come back when you want to eat. I'll just make it again."
This is a direct grab.
Lin Hexi smiled and nodded, then happily walked down the mountain with the dried meat.
Just like yesterday, Lin Xixi arrived in town and was still waiting for Chen Zhongqian and Xiaoyu to go home together.
"They didn't announce who they chose today, right?"
Chen Zhongqian glanced at her and said nothing, but the words were written in his eyes, "How did you know?"
Lin Joy said proudly, "I'll tell you when I get back."
After going home and talking about the matter, Lin Joy looked at him expectantly, "How about it? Who will you choose?"
Chen Zhongqian didn't expect such a thing to happen, and pondered for a moment, "Why didn't you directly agree for me?"
"Then how to do it? It's your own business. As the saying goes: women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of marrying the wrong teacher."
"Is that what the saying goes?"
"I said yes."
Chen Zhongqian looked at her, "Then who do you want me to choose?"
Lin Xixi leaned over and smiled at him, "If you don't mind, just choose that old man. He is Dean Yue's teacher, so he should be more powerful."
"More importantly." Chen Zhongqian pointed out the key point.
Lin Joy replied, "What's more important is that you are his students. If I ask him something else, he can't help but teach me, right?"
Chen Zhongqian closed the book and said, "Wouldn't it be over if we told you earlier?"
Can you still see what her intentions are?
If you keep an eye on the old man's skills, you must learn two tricks.
The next day Chen Zhongqian went to see Dean Yue during break. Several people in the class commented that Dean Yue must have decided on Chen Zhongqian.
Lu Shanming was a little dissatisfied. He didn't think he was inferior to Chen Zhongqian. If the dean chose Chen Zhongqian, he would have to ask for a reason.
Soon Chen Zhongqian came back, but the gentleman who was in class had also arrived, and people around him couldn't find a chance to ask.
Chen Zhongqian and Yue also went out to eat for lunch. When they returned to the academy, they found a group of people surrounding the wall. Usually, any important events would be posted there.
Yue also glanced at the list of winners this time. Chen Zhongqian, Liu Zhaofei, and Chen Zhongda were all on it.
"Zhong Qian, you can get a bonus." Yue Ye said with a smile.
Chen Zhongqian nodded, it would be good to get it, several taels of silver.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Lu Shanming couldn't wait to get closer and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to defeat you this time. The dean just came to see me."
Chen Zhongqian cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations."
After saying that, he sat down in his seat. Lu Shanming fell back in anger, "Chen Zhongqian, are you unconvinced? Are you unhappy that the dean chose me this time?"
"I'm not happy, so why don't you tell the dean that you don't want to be his student?" Chen Zhongqian looked at him, "I didn't mark your exams for you."
Lu Shanming was stunned for a moment, and Chen Zhongqian continued, "So, you don't have to care about my opinion on everything. We have been classmates for many years, and you have become Dean Yue's direct disciple. I am happy for you."
Lu Shanming wanted to speak, but he continued, "Sincerely."
After saying that, Lu Shanming didn't feel comfortable saying anything anymore. He originally wanted to vent his anger.
But he also felt that what Chen Zhongqian said was reasonable, and the scientific examination had nothing to do with Chen Zhongqian. Why did he care so much about his reaction?
Unconsciously, he actually regarded Chen Zhongqian as the one he wanted to surpass and cared about his every move. Wasn't this an admission that he was inferior to him?
