Chapter 75 Part 2: Young Man

 

^^

 

Wan Xing and Wan Yue took the book back and put it away, looking at Lin Wei Xi with a smile. Lin Wei Xi didn’t want to talk about her private affairs with Gu Hui Yan with a teenager who she met for the first time on the street, so she coughed lightly and said, “Your intelligence is indeed surprising. But the Autumn Examination is near. Even if you have ability, you can't relax because of this. Wan Yue, go and get three months payment for private tutor."

 

It would be exactly three months from now to Autumn Examination. Gao Ke must have been dragged down by his family. He was worried about delaying his Autumn Examination, so he took the risk and recommended himself in front of Lin Wei Xi. Fullness for the bold famine for the timid, his talent was indeed outstanding. To hang his name in front of Yan Wang was far better than depressingly study for ten years. But meeting Yan Wang was not easy, Gao Ke could only find another way, starting from the very favored Yan Wangfei. It just so happened that Yan Wangfei was a guest at the Duke Yingguo Mansion today, and the carriage would pass through the Gao family’s settlement. If he missed this opportunity, he wouldn’t have it again.

 

Gao Ke declined: "If you have no merit, you don’t deserve the reward, this little one and Wangfei have never met before, how can this little one take Wangfei's things."

 

"This is not for you. Your teacher teaches well, this is the payment for the revered master." In the carriage, the young female voice slowly came out, and this voice was so beautiful. The same meaning, but it was that someone spoken it so beautifully, Gao Ke settled down his heart and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Wangfei. Gao Ke will remember the grace of Wangfei today, and he will never forget it."

 

Lin Wei Xi didn't feel much about it, she had listened this kind of repaying gratitude sentence too many times. Gao Ke stepped aside and stood with his hands down. He watched Lin Wei Xi's carriage started slowly and headed towards the main residence of Duke Yingguo Mansion. Lin Wei Xi was sitting in the steady and warm carriage, and her thoughts could not help but drift over to the adopting matter.

 

It would be great if Gao Ke could be adopted under Wei shi’s name, in the future took over Duke Yingguo Shizi’s position and become the head of the Duke Mansion. It would be a wonderful idea both for Gao Ke himself and for the whole Gao’s family.

 

The importance of heirs to a family clan was unquestionable. It was not easy for ancestors to establishing the business. It often requires three generations of hard work, but it only need one generation to squander it all. Cleverness was a scarce resource even compared to beauty. If a young man who had a good memory, excellent in arithmetic, bold in thinking and daring in action could become the heir of the family, the clan elder must be waking up from his dreams smiling. Lin Wei Xi abandoned any selfishness and sincerely felt this was the best choice for the Duke Yingguo Mansion.

 

It was a pity that Duke Yingguo Shizi already had a precious son Gao Chen, and Han shi and Gao Ran would never allow the adoption. Lin Wei Xi thought for a while, but regretfully gave up.

 

When she met Gao Ke, she had already arrived at the Duke Yingguo’s territory. It didn't take long before arriving at the main residence. Lin Wei Xi was greeted graciously all the way to the seat. Duke Yingguo old madam and Lin Wei Xi sat on the same level, she asked politely: "Wangfei arrived later than the time in your message. Was your journey smooth?"

 

Lin Wei Xi smiled and concealed it, she said, "Everything is well. Something happened, so I was delayed." As for what it was, Lin Wei Xi didn't mean to tell.

 

Duke Yingguo old madam was also very tactful. She knew from Lin Wei Xi's expression that these things shouldn't be asked, so she changed the subject wittily: "I haven't seen Wangfei for a long time, is Wangfei in a good health?"

 

"Recently because of anxious air I fainted, except for that I’m fine."

 

The people in the warm pavilion were silent for a moment. Wasn’t this just a polite question? Logically, Lin Wei Xi should reply "My body is in good health, thank you for your concern", and then the guest and the host had a good time, after that the old madam could move to the topic she wanted to talk about. The people of Duke Yingguo Mansion politely asked about Wangfei's health, but Yan Wangfei really replied that it was not good. What should they do?

 

Duke Yingguo old madam have long heard people say that because Gao Ran was arguing with Shizi, Yan Wangfei went to deal with it, but she was so angry that she fainted. Yan Wang was furious because of this incident, the inside of Yan Wang Mansion they didn't know, but the people outside walked on their toes for three days.

 

Duke Yingguo old madam was embarrassed. She coughed and said, “It’s the Duke Mansion who did not teach their daughters well and makes Wangfei tired. As long as this old body thinks about this, it’s hard to sleep at night, always feel restless. This old body planned to personally go to Yan Wang Mansion to beg for forgiveness, but unfortunately one’s health is unsatisfactory, and the ailment has relapsed. Fortunately, saw Yan Wangfei today, this old body apologize for my unsatisfactory granddaughter."

 

The old madam of Duke Yingguo really wanted to stand up and salute, Lin Wei Xi smiled and stopped her arm: "The old madam is too polite. After all, Shizi Consort is my junior. If she make mistakes, I will slowly teach her, how can I blame it on the old madam."

 

Duke Yingguo old madam said that, but she was the most senior, and Lin Wei Xi couldn't really make her grandmother's generation apologize to her. She stopped Duke Yingguo old madam’s movements and asked the old madam to sit down. The old lady falsely declined a few times, and slowly sat back on her seat: "A woman who was not virtuous or filial, of course, it was because the poor upbringing of her parent’s family. This old body cannot escape the blame. Fortunately, Wangfei is forgiving, this old body is very grateful.

 

Gao Ran had been serving on one side. Upon hearing these words, she could only step forward and kowtowed to both Duke Yingguo old madam and Lin Wei Xi to apologize. The old lady devalued Gao Ran into nothing, but she was careful and careful with Lin Wei Xi. Gao Ran who knelt on the ground felt very complicated.

 

Lin Wei Xi glanced to the ground and neither too warm nor too cold called Gao Ran to get up. Duke Yingguo old madam were a little flustered with Lin Wei Xi's attitude. She tentatively asked: "This past few days the third girl stayed in the duke mansion and cannot take care of Shizi. I wonder if Shizi alright?"

 

Lin Wei Xi really didn't know. Gu Hui Yan was angry that day when Lin Wei Xi fainted. When she woke up, she heard Gu Hui Yan scolding Gu Cheng Yao. Later, Gu Hui Yan gave Gu Cheng Yao a few days to deal with Yun Hui and Gao Ran's matters, and then called Gu Cheng Yao away. As for how he was punished in private, Lin Wei Xi didn't know.

 

This happened in the past few days, Gao Ran went back to her family in anger, so of course she didn't know. Lin Wei Xi folded her hands on her lap and said, "Wangye gives guidance to Shizi. I don't know the details."

 

When the people in Duke Yingguo Mansion heard this, they secretly gasped. It turned out that Yan Wang himself who dealt with it. This was very serious. Their expressions were a bit complicated, and even Duke Yingguo old madam’s complexion was embarrassed and did not know what to say.

 

Of course they didn't dare to talk about how Yan Wang educate his son, but it was their own son-in-law who was punished, if they didn’t even ask it seemed like they didn’t even worried. Han shi walked to the main seat with a smile, and graciously poured a cup of tea for Lin Wei Xi: "Wangfei, Shizi is still young after all. You are his mother, and you always has a face in front of Yan Wang. If Yan Wang is very angry, asking you to please do more for Shizi."

 

Han shi's posture was very low, but Lin Wei Xi's appearance was noble and unsullied, she glanced at Han shi lightly and coldly: "Who is this and why she appear here? Could it be this is the way in Duke Yingguo Mansion?"
