Chapter 503 Keeping the Promise
This kid also has such a cramped side, he said in a low voice.

"Mr. Fan! You say that... But it's a little disrespectful! You know that she is a girl, but you still..."

"Look at how anxious you are! The girl hasn't said anything yet!"

With a shy expression on Lin Youyi's face, Fushen saluted again.

"The little girl has no intention of deceiving, but in fact it is inconvenient to travel. Only a woman disguised as a man can reduce some troubles. I hope Mr. Fan will not be blamed."

"You are... the girl who made a big fuss at the Wenxinhou Mansion Poetry Club?"

When Mr. Fan asked such a question, Lin Youyi became more and more ashamed and ashamed.

It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles!

However, when Lin Youyi didn't know how to answer, Mr. Fan suddenly stroked his white beard and laughed loudly.

"Well, she is indeed a different girl! Interesting! You kid has harmed me for so long, and you finally did a good thing!"

"Mr. Fan!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about you boy! Girl, you come to the poetry club today, do you want to play chess or hide?"

"No, I'm here to learn how to play chess with the young master."

"Learn from him? Why don't you learn from this old man! As long as you are willing to learn, girl, this old man is willing to teach you everything! This Xiping Garden, you can come here whenever you want, and this old man can also promise you the embroidery building in the back."

"This……"

Not to mention, Lin Youyi was really moved.

This Xiping Court, Lin Youyi likes it no matter what she thinks.

With this one condition alone, she couldn't say a word against it.

Seeing that Lin Youyi hesitated, Kong Shuyuan hurriedly opened his mouth to stop her!
"No! Mr. Fan, when it comes to chess skills, you have never beaten me by a single move! Even if you want to learn from me, you have to learn from me!"

"You kid, you have no chess skills, but you can't be a teacher! Besides, do you really want to take her as an apprentice?"

What Mr. Fan said was very meaningful, and Kong Shuyuan immediately understood it.

"I think what Mr. Fan said is reasonable! What do you think of Miss Fourth?"

"I... It's not that I don't want to. It's just that the little girl is stupid and doesn't know anything about playing chess. I'm afraid that I won't succeed in the future and will tarnish Mr. Fan's reputation!"

"Aptitude is of course important, but I value your character more! In the future, if you can excel in chess, I will be very happy. Even if you can't, I would like to have more good disciples with exquisite skills and unparalleled understanding!"

Lin Youyi was at a loss for a moment.

It was the first time she met Mr. Fan, and she didn't know why this old man valued her so much.

Moreover, if you really want to worship a teacher, you must first inform the Marquis of Chengyang, and solemnly perform the ceremony of worshiping a teacher.

For such a thing, Lin Youyi didn't dare to talk about it, so she agreed casually.

Kong Shuyuan seemed to have seen through Lin Youyi's hesitation, and hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

"Miss Si doesn't know that Mr. Fan is the emperor's master today. However, he doesn't want to set foot in the court, but prefers the days of idle clouds and wild cranes. Therefore, he retired early to release his seal, but Shenducheng chose him. Such a place of beauty and beauty is in a corner of peace."

"I'm sorry, little girl!"

Mr. Fan waved his hands indifferently.

"Old calendar, it's not worth mentioning!"

"Mr. Fan is too modest! Even though Mr. Fan has resigned now, there are many nobles and dignitaries inside and outside of Shendu who want to send their children to Mr. Fan to be educated! But, Mr. Fan doesn't like any of them! Miss Fourth is so lucky to be favored by Mr. Fan."

"I also look up to you, kid, but you don't want to be taught, you're just a monkey, and you really can't help but learn the world-shattering skills!"

"Miss Si, you should hurry up and agree! If not, all my embarrassing things will be revealed by Mr. Fan!"

"My little girl is not talented. Thanks to Mr. Fan's love, I would like to worship under your old school. When I go back today, my little girl mentioned it to my father, and I will solemnly visit the teacher in the future!"

"Okay! This old man picked up a good student for nothing today. It's really worthy of congratulations. You two go to the living room and sit for a while, and I'll show you off!"

Old Mr. Fan looked really happy.

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

Lin Youyi was a little embarrassed, and Kong Shuyuan stretched out her hand and pressed her down just as she spoke to stop her.

"Mr. Fan, don't bother me so much, I..."

"Hey, Miss Si, just leave it alone, the old man is doing this because he is happy in his heart!"

"Happy to accept such a dull and stupid apprentice like me?"

"You are not stupid! As Mr. Fan said to me, cleverness is useless in the right way!"

"Take it, don't confuse me with you!"

"Yo, you have climbed up to a good gentleman, so you can't look down on me so quickly?"

Kong Shuyuan pretended to be heartbroken, Lin Youyi covered her mouth and chuckled, and the two walked into the hall together.

"Is this Xiping Garden really elegant? Does Mr. Fan love Qionghua?"

"Mr. Fan's ancestral home is Yangzhou. However, this Qionghua is not her favorite, but the beloved flower of the person he loves all his life."

"Mrs. Fan?"

"No, Mr. Fan never married!"

Kong Shuyuan said it, and Lin Youyi knew it.

It turned out that before Mr. Fan went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he had made an agreement with the girl he liked, and after he was named on the gold list, he would come back with a big sedan chair to marry that girl.

However, the sky failed as people wished, and the girl fell ill and was bedridden shortly after Mr. Fan left.

After that, within half a year, the girl passed away.

Therefore, Mr. Fan kept his agreement with that girl and never married.

"Could it be that Miss Si didn't realize that this Xiping Court looks more like a separate courtyard where my daughter lives?"

"Yes, yes! I just said that there seems to be something wrong with this other courtyard. After the young master said this, I realized it. Just now, Mr. Fan also said that there is an embroidery building in the backyard. Since there is no Where is the embroidery building where women live?"

"This other courtyard is exactly copied from the place where the girl lived at the beginning!"

"I see! But, there is one thing I don't understand. Since Mr. Fan has kept his promise to that woman, he has never married. Then why didn't he return to his hometown and guard the girl's former residence after he became an official? Sending condolences?"

"It is the old Mr. Fan who the emperor is reluctant to leave! Although he has long been far away from the court, but when the emperor occasionally has worries, he will come here in disguise to seek advice and enlightenment from Mr. Fan. He returned home with honor."

Lin Youyi nodded clearly.

Now, she finally figured out the reason belatedly.
