Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

Yan Canglan felt depressed. He had never had anyone talk to him like this before, or tell him the truth of life so directly. A complex emotion surged in his heart, including dissatisfaction and curiosity.

"Do you really believe that you can change me?" Yan Canglan asked with a hint of provocation in his tone.

Ji Yunlin looked at him with a smile: "I believe that everyone has the potential to change. As long as you are willing, I am willing to accompany you through this process."

Yan Canglan's eyes widened. He didn't expect Ji Yunlin to answer like this. He suddenly had an urge to prove himself and see if this poor scholar had the ability to change him.

"Okay, I'll let you try." Yan Canglan said coldly, "But you have to remember, if you fail, I will make you regret it."

Ji Yunlin smiled gently: "Don't worry, I never thought about making you grateful to me. As long as I have tried my best and have a clear conscience, it is enough."

In the main hall, the atmosphere was harmonious and warm. Lu Yundi's eyes would occasionally fall on Ji Yunlin, and she secretly admired that this teacher was indeed different from others.

Ji Yunlin was wearing a washed-out blue cloth gown, but he was neat and clean, with a calm demeanor, and a look of tenacity and confidence. Lu Yundi knew that only such a person could maintain integrity in poverty and educate his children well.

"Master Ji, is this meal to your liking?" Lu Yundi asked with a smile, his eyes full of concern.

Ji Yunlin put down his chopsticks and replied respectfully: "Madam, you are too polite. This meal is extremely sumptuous. I am flattered. Thank you very much."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, turned to Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin and said: "You should learn from Master Ji. He was born in a poor family, but he is knowledgeable and upright. He is a good role model for you."

Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin nodded, indicating that they would listen carefully to Ji Yunlin's teachings.

After dinner, Lu Yundi arranged for Ji Yunlin to stay in the guest room of the Marquis's Mansion. This room was spacious and bright, fully furnished, and obviously carefully decorated.

Ji Yunlin was deeply moved when he saw all this. Mrs. Lu Yundi took such good care of him so that he could concentrate on teaching and preparing for the imperial examination.

Ji Yunlin proposed a basic assessment of Yan Canglan with a serious expression. He believed that this was an important part of helping Yan Canglan catch up with the progress of the clan school. Although Lu Yundi and Yan Shuqin were a little hesitant, they did not follow in and stayed outside the study. They looked at the closed study door and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

In the study, Ji Yunlin sat in the main seat, his eyes were like torches, scanning Yan Canglan. Yan Canglan looked a little nervous, this test was very important to him, not only related to his position in the clan school, but also related to his reputation in the family.

"Yan Canglan, do you know the significance of this assessment?" Ji Yunlin asked.

Yan Canglan nodded and replied: "I know that this assessment will determine whether I can keep up with the progress of the clan studies, and it is also related to my status in the family. I will definitely do my best."

Ji Yunlin nodded slightly, showing satisfaction. Then, he picked up the test paper on the table and said slowly: "This is a test paper based on your current learning situation. The difficulty is moderate. You need to complete it within two hours. During this time, you are not allowed to look up any information or communicate with others."

Yan Canglan took the test paper nervously and vowed secretly in his heart that he must complete this assessment successfully.

Time passed quietly, and Yan Canglan's pen danced quickly on the test paper. Lu Yundi and Yan Shuqin were waiting anxiously outside the study room. They looked into the study room from time to time, silently cheering for Yan Canglan in their hearts.

Two hours later, Ji Yunlin announced the end of the test. Yan Canglan handed the test paper to Ji Yunlin and looked at him nervously.

Ji Yunlin picked up the test paper and began to review it carefully.

After a while, Ji Yunlin walked out of the study with a serious expression on his face.

He asked Lu Yundi: "How many years did Yan Canglan study in the clan school?"

Lu Yundi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

At this time, Yan Shuqin came over and whispered, "My brother and I went to the clan school when we were four years old. It has been three years now."

Ji Yunlin said seriously: "We should start with the most basic traditional textbooks, Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, and Thousand Character Classic. Only in this way can we lay a good foundation for Yan Canglan's literature."

He handed Lu Yundi a piece of straw paper with the words "Canglan" written crookedly on it. Although the handwriting was childish, the two words could be barely made out.

Ji Yunlin decided to spend the whole day teaching Yan Canglan, starting from the basics, hoping to help him catch up with the clan studies as soon as possible. Lu Yundi expressed her trust in Ji Yunlin's arrangement, and said, "Mr. Ji, please make the arrangements. I believe you can help him."

Yan Shuqin looked at Yan Canglan's handwriting and couldn't help but frown. The handwriting was crooked and irritating. Ji Yunlin noticed Yan Shuqin's expression and explained, "If Yan Canglan's foundation doesn't improve and he can't keep up with the progress of the clan school, he will only become more and more tired of studying. I am willing to delay two days to help him so as not to affect his learning progress."

After hearing this, Yan Shuqin understood Ji Yunlin's painstaking efforts. She looked at Ji Yunlin with gratitude and thought to herself, "Mr. Ji is really well-intentioned. He is willing to waste his time for my brother."

Lu Yundi looked at Ji Yunlin gratefully and nodded in agreement.

Therefore, Ji Yunlin decided to give Yan Canglan full-day lessons over two days, teaching him the basic knowledge so that he could adapt to the learning rhythm of the clan studies as quickly as possible.

Ji Yunlin looked at Yan Shuqin steadily, cupped his hands, and said, "Miss Yan, can I ask what courses the old master has taught you recently?"

Yan Shuqin smiled slightly, with a proper humility on her face: "Recently, the old teacher of the clan school has mainly taught classics such as the Book of Changes, the Book of Songs, and the Zuo Zhuan. He pays special attention to the analysis of the hexagrams in the Book of Changes, allowing us to understand the philosophy of life from it."

Ji Yunlin nodded in agreement: "The Book of Changes is indeed profound and extensive. It will be of great benefit to you to understand the philosophy of life from it. So, how is the progress?"

Yan Shuqin thought for a moment and replied, "The old master's teaching progress is moderate. Every week, he explains a hexagram from the Book of Changes, a chapter from the Book of Songs, and a story from the Zuo Zhuan. This cycle allows us to have a deep understanding of the classics without feeling too much pressure."

Ji Yunlin stared at Yan Shuqin steadily, with a hint of approval in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said softly, "Yan Shuqin, you have such a clear understanding of the teaching content and progress of the old teacher of the clan school. It shows that you study hard, which is really rare."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shuqin blushed slightly, lowered her head slightly, and said modestly: "Master Ji, you are too kind. I am just following the clan rules and dare not slack off. Master Ji, what do you think of the old master's teaching?"

Ji Yunlin smiled slightly, with a gleam in his eyes: "The old master's teaching is naturally excellent. But in my opinion, perhaps some practical exercises can be added to allow students to better apply theoretical knowledge to practice."

Yan Shuqin's eyes flashed with thought, and she nodded and said, "Master Ji is right. I have also thought about this before. If we can add actual combat exercises to the classroom, I believe it will be of great benefit to our learning."
