Fan Jian smiled slightly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepening.
"Yes, he is indeed a good young man."
As Su Yu sized up Fan Jian, Fan Jian was also carefully examining the young man in front of him.
He had wanted to see Su Yu for a long time.
On the one hand, he has always admired scholars.
And I always heard my mother say in her letters how wonderful Mr. Su was.
In particular, that kid Fan Xian even wrote that masterpiece to praise Su Yu.
He wanted to see just how extraordinary Mr. Su, whom everyone praised, truly was.
Now that he has seen it, Fan Jian can't help but sigh.
Seeing is believing.
With her delicate features and ethereal beauty, she is truly extraordinary!
When he saw me approaching, he didn't give me an overly enthusiastic welcome.
He didn't just stand there motionless, without saying a word.
Instead, he stood up, smiled, and greeted them humbly and politely.
His words and actions were also very proper, and his attitude was gentle and humble, neither servile nor arrogant.
"A person with a wealth of knowledge naturally exudes elegance"—this saying perfectly describes Su Yu.
Thinking back, I realize that I was not as good as him when I was young.
However, Si Nanbo did not intend to reveal his appreciation.
It's also impossible for him to admit that he wasn't as good as her when he was young.
So he simply gave a plain and honest evaluation.
Liu Ruyu smiled, realizing that her master had shown great admiration for Mr. Su in his eyes.
But he only said that one sentence.
She's obviously being arrogant and concerned about saving face.
Liu Ruyu, however, was adept at undermining others.
She raised an eyebrow and then jokingly said with a smile.
How good is it?
“Sir, you always say that you were a scholar back in the day, and how refined and dignified you were.”
"Hmm, how does he compare to Mr. Su?"
Su Yu noticed that Liu Ruyu was only a concubine.
Unlike in ordinary high-class households, one does not need to stand and serve the master until he finishes his meal.
She sat down next to Fan Jian with great ease and spoke quite casually.
It's clear that Fan Jian treats her very well.
This also aligns with Fan Jian's image as a kind and gentle person.
However, Liu Ruyu's question made him feel a little awkward for a moment.
Well, but thinking about it, I'm not the one who's more embarrassed.
Su Yu glanced at Si Nanbo Fan Jian.
He frowned and remained silent for a long while.
After a moment, he finally had no choice but to speak slowly.
"Mr. Su is truly one in a million."
There was no direct answer, yet everything was answered.
After saying that, he let out a soft sigh.
It contains both admiration for Su Yu and a sense of inferiority.
Su Yu smiled faintly and remained silent.
In this situation, any response would seem superfluous.
Si Nanbo's heart had clearly been broken once.
He didn't intend to kick someone when they were down.
Liu Ruyu laughed without a care in the world.
He patted Si Nanbo Fan Jian on the shoulder.
“The master is right. Even the master himself is ashamed of his own inferiority.”
"Mr. Su is indeed one in a million."
Even the master agrees.
Now Liu Ruyu felt even more strongly that asking Mr. Su 371 to teach Siqi 29 Zhe was an extremely wise decision.
Fan Jian smiled wryly and nodded.
For a moment, he didn't know whether his wife was trying to comfort him with those words.
They still have to undermine themselves.
But they were all just jokes.
Fan Jian naturally wouldn't take it to heart.
Moreover, he already admired this young man and wouldn't hold it against him.
There was just a slight pang of sadness in my heart.
Her mother rarely praised herself, but she showered Su Yu with compliments.
He knew that his mother was grateful to Su Yu because of Fan Xian and Ruoruo.
But why is his own wife using him as a scapegoat to praise Su Yu?
Some admiration in one's heart needs not be spoken aloud.
What is said is often done with a purpose.
Surely Madam isn't thinking of having Su Yu teach Sizhe to be like Fan Xian?
That would put Mr. Su in a rather difficult position.
A child's character is formed by age three; philosophy... it's not a matter of who taught them.
During the meal, Fan Jian and Su Yu chatted for a few more minutes about the imperial examinations.
Their admiration for the young man deepened even further.
He was certain that Su Yu would pass the exam!
When the imperial examination is held, His Majesty will surely be amazed to see such a young man.
While listening to the adults chatting about things he couldn't understand, Versace looked worried.
The apprenticeship ceremony is tomorrow. Sigh, I really need to get back to studying.
Chapter Sixty-Three: Accepting Fan Sizhe as a Disciple! Yuan Chen Spiritual Technique! The Heaven-Covering Sacred Fruit!
Versace was happily eating at the table, oblivious to everything else.
The more he ate, the more depressed he became.
Because all he could think about at that moment was the apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow.
He would glance at the schoolteacher who was chatting and laughing with his father every now and then.
But no matter how I look at it, I just can't stand it.
But he dared not do what he did in the afternoon again, no matter what.
She glared at the man fiercely, or perhaps scared him away with her words.
Because two fierce-looking women were sitting at the table, staring at him.
So all I could do was brood in silence, since there was nothing I could do anyway.
Seeing this, Su Yu simply shook her head and smiled without saying a word.
He knew that the chubby boy was grieving over the carefree childhood he was about to lose.
After all, before he started his formal education, he could do whatever he wanted in the mansion.
You can do whatever you want.
If they didn't like a servant, they could beat or scold them at will.
He has nothing to fear except his father and mother.
After starting school, his behavior will be bound by rules.
After all, if one reads books and understands principles, but still doesn't know manners...
My older sister will spank me.
Moreover, there's always endless homework to do.
Even if this young master of the Fan family has never eaten pork, he must have at least seen pigs run.
However, Su Yu did not have any intention of saying anything to comfort him.
Children's troubles always come and go quickly.
Unlike the worries of adults, which are complex, long-lasting, and difficult to eliminate.
After attending a few classes with Versace, I got used to it.
Moreover, what I focus on teaching him is definitely what he is interested in.
As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher, and I believe that even a chubby boy can learn happily.
