Noble Lady

Chapter 122: Back to the Starting Point

Situ Zhen first looked at Xue Chenyu.

She nodded subconsciously.

It’s exactly as my mother said.

By the time he realized something was wrong, Situ Zhen had already turned around and was talking to Mrs. Xue as if nothing had happened.

"..."

Xue Chenyu was a little dazed for a moment. Why did Prince Cheng want to verify what A Niang said?

But before she could figure out how to ask the question, they were already discussing the candidate for the husband.

Previously, Xue Chenyu and Mrs. Xue meant to find someone who could help Xue Huai review his previous lessons, consolidate his foundation, and then continue his studies.

At that time, we went to investigate Chen Mingxuan's character, firstly because Chen Lizhu recommended him, and secondly because we thought he was very suitable.

However, if we now choose a new teacher, an older one with rich teaching experience, we can also achieve this goal.

But if you want to learn from a famous teacher, you have to spend some time to invite one for you.

Mrs. Xue did not just say this out of thin air. She had already prepared a list and asked everyone to help discuss it.

The names above were all great scholars who had made great achievements in the contemporary world. Xue Huai couldn't help but gasp when he saw them.

Any one of them is a big shot with many students all over the world. Is he worthy of being taught by them?

Xue Chenyu saw through his thoughts at a glance, "What you can see is the empty reputation of the world, but what the great scholars and famous scholars see is the talent that can be cultivated."

"Confucius said, 'There is no distinction between the classes in education.' As long as you are truly eager to learn, you are worthy of their teaching."

Situ Zhen also nodded, indicating his agreement with this statement.

Xue Huai's eyes lit up.

Xue Luoyan, who was a smart little boy, also said: "Maybe if Xue Huai studies hard, he will become a famous scholar in the future."

Xue Huai: "You think famous scholars are just weeds on the roadside, you can just grab a handful at will."

Of course, what she got in return was Miss Luoluo's slight smile.

After discussing for a long time, we finally decided on Mr. Lu Shuwen.

Mr. Lu was previously the chief academic officer of the Imperial College and had participated in the compilation of several historical books. He had countless students and former officials and was well-known for his dedication to his students.

But later, when he got old, he said he didn't want to work hard, so he resigned and returned home.

He lived in seclusion for three years, but last year he missed the scenery of the suburbs and moved his family to settle down there.

Madam Xue and Marquis Xue plan to go and invite him personally tomorrow.

It is certainly not easy to hire such a gentleman, but they are mentally prepared and have enough confidence.

Situ Zhen took the initiative to say, "Tomorrow I will accompany Master and his wife on a trip."

"How can I do this?" Marquis Xue hesitated.

After all, the prince is a royal relative, so even if he is called Master, he should not be too closely involved with the Xue family.

Frequent contact has already given others something to gossip about. If I even get involved in the matter of inviting a teacher to Xue Huai, I am afraid I will not be able to sever the relationship in the future.

He has already owed him a favor for what happened to the fish, and if he owes him any more favors, he's afraid he won't be able to repay them.

"Master, don't you want me to go?" Situ Zhen was a little hurt.

Marquis Xue hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that. After all, you are of noble status. If you go, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid it will give people a feeling of oppression." Xue Chenyu continued what Xue Hou said.

Look at her father stuttering, it's obvious that he just came up with words on the spur of the moment.

He is the last one to be perfunctory towards others. When he interacts with others, he is full of enthusiasm and speaks from the heart.

Most of his fellow military officers were like this, as they had little education and did not have those roundabout and cunning minds, so they were more likely to offend others.

Situ Zhen narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Chenyu.

Being stared at like this by him, Xue Chenyu couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

But what she said was not entirely groundless.

"I heard that Mr. Lu has been in the officialdom for a long time and has seen everything. He despises the practice of treating people differently based on their status."

"Father and mother understand the prince's intentions, but this is to invite a teacher for Xue Huai, so father and mother should go by themselves."

"At most, we can bring Xue Huai along as well."

Xue Chenyu turned around and dragged Xue Huai in front of Situ Zhen. "Sir, why don't you teach him a few tricks to deal with emergencies? That way, when he goes before the master, he won't be clueless."

Situ Zhen's lips curled up slightly. "Miss Xue also said that Mr. Lu has been in the officialdom for a long time and has seen everything. No matter how he responds, it is not as effective as sincerity."

"There's always a lot of people around him who are eloquent and good at making arguments. Perhaps my simple request will impress him."

Mrs. Xue agreed with Situ Zhen's words.

The more people have seen big scenes, the more they like innocent and simple people.

They have been dealing with smart people all their lives. How can you be a match for your seniors if you use tricks and schemes?

Maybe he can tell what you are planning just by blinking.

Sincerity is the ultimate killer.

So, to sum up, Xue Huai should study hard, and Marquis Xue and Madam Xue will take him with them when the time comes.

They asked sincerely, but they could only tell the truth.

As for whether he is willing to agree or not, that is Mr. Lu's business. Facing such a famous scholar, you can't force him to do anything.

Situ Zhen also promised Xue Huai that if he could win Mr. Lu's favor, he would give him a gift beyond his imagination.

Xue Huai asked secretly, what could it be.

Situ Zhen mentioned the word "pattern" very obscurely.

Xue Huai was a smart boy and understood it immediately.

The prince just told me last time that his sister used the pattern to make a pretty good sword.

I just invited my sister to go see it in a few days.

If that sword was given to him, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

"Thank you, Prince. I will definitely work hard to gain Mr. Lu's approval. Even if he is unwilling to accept me, I will go to him for advice from time to time." Xue Huai said excitedly.

Xue Chenyu: Who can tell whether he wants to study hard or get the sword?

She just didn't expect that Situ Zhen would offer such a reward.

After all these twists and turns, will the sword return to Xue Xiaohuai's hands?

However, she had never been at the mercy of He Minzhi in this life, and she believed that after so much effort, she had reversed Xue Xiaohuai's future of going against his father, and he should not be easily deceived by He Minzhi again.

If he had read more books and gained more knowledge, been able to deal with things calmly, and distinguish right from wrong, the incident that led to the annihilation of the Xue family would not have happened.

"Sir, why did my brother get a reward but I didn't? Didn't you say Luoluo could be a female general who was as brave as any man?"

Xue Luoyan suddenly said something that was not going to stop until he said something shocking.

How could she force someone to give her a gift like this? Those who didn't know would think the Xue family was mistreating her.

Marquis Xue hurriedly pulled his little daughter over and said, "I'm sorry, Prince. I'm young and ignorant, and my words were rude. Please don't be offended."

"Luoluo is right. Your eldest sister inherited her mother's talent for business, and your brother has to study hard for the family. So the path to martial arts can only be left to Luoluo, right?"

"That's right, Luoluo is not inferior to boys!" Xue Luoyan patted his chest, full of heroic spirit.
