But Dean Xie’s public statement was that he was old and did not want to accept disciples anymore.

It is really strange that he suddenly accepted such an unknown disciple.

Dean Xie glared at the man and said, "What do you know? This Ye Jingming... has a promising future. He's a very good talent. If it weren't for me... he would have definitely encountered great obstacles."

Dean Xie was not trying to build up his own power, he just didn't want to waste the country's pillars.

Ye Jingming is a student of Dean Xie’s student. When Dean Xie’s student brought him here, Dean Xie knew that this kid was extraordinary.

If he relies on his own efforts, who knows when he will be able to reach the throne!

But if you are his closed disciple, it will be different.

Today, Your Majesty lacks talented people, especially young talents.

This child is excellent.

Who knows, maybe after high school, he will be the talent who stays in Beijing...

"Grandfather is righteous, and it is I, the grandson, who is superficial." The man bowed deeply to Dean Xie and saluted.

Dean Xie glanced at him and said indifferently, "How is the article I asked you to write yesterday? Show it to me..."

"oops!"

The man suddenly covered his stomach and said to Dean Xie with a painful expression: "Grandfather, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable. I, I'll go back to my room first."

Having said that, he ran away in a flash.

Dean Xie looked at the boy's useless appearance, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Can't you be as hardworking as Jingming?"

He shook his head and sighed and went back to his room.

After a while, Ye Jingming came to the commander's room and knocked on the door.

He sent over a big cake, four small fruit cups, and four glass cups.

He brought it by himself.

Dean Xie was surprised when he saw those things: "This...isn't this the popular sponge cake these days? And this milk tea..."

Dean Xie was very surprised. Songsong cake was already rare. He grabbed some during the tasting and there weren't that many fancy things on it.

Ye Jingming is not from a poor family, so where did he get all this?

And that glass cup...

Dean Xie's face darkened and he looked at Ye Jingming: "Jingming, what do you mean?"

Ye Jingming said respectfully: "This is a little gift for the teacher, please try it."

Dean Xie's face turned grim: "Jingming, you have only been in the capital for less than half a month, you must not pick up those bad habits."

"I like you because of your talent, but you...ah!"

Dean Xie sighed, looking a little disappointed.

Seeing Dean Xie like this, Ye Jingming hurriedly bowed to Dean Xie and said, "Teacher, you misunderstood. This pine cake and milk tea were made by my younger sister."

"Your younger sister did it?" Dean Xie was a little surprised.

"Yes……"

Ye Jingming said, "The Song Song Cake shop in the capital was opened by my younger sister together with Madam Lu from the county government."

"As for this glass cup... I have some silver in my hand. I'm worried that I'll be bullied here, so I'll teach you some social etiquette."

"The students will give all of this to you, teacher."

Dean Xie felt relieved when he heard what Ye Jingming said.

After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but look at Ye Jingming: "You said... the one who opened the shop with County Magistrate Lu... no, the wife of Minister Lu, was your little sister?"

Ye Jingming nodded: "Yes."

Dean Xie pondered for a moment, his expression becoming a little more serious: "Do you know... who your brother-in-law is?"

Ye Jingming shook his head: "I don't know, but... my brother-in-law should not be an ordinary person."

"It's just that who my brother-in-law is doesn't matter to me. I just know that the more unusual my brother-in-law's identity is, the harder I have to work."

"Oh? Why is that?" Dean Xie asked curiously.

Ye Jingming looked at Dean Xie seriously, and said in a serious tone: "Students must study hard to obtain academic honors, so that my little sister's family can have support and not be looked down upon."

"If the brother-in-law's family is ordinary, the student must earn face for the family."

Dean Xie was moved after hearing his words.

In aristocratic families, the relationship between brothers and sisters is not that warm.

Everyone is calculating against each other, but appears to be on good terms with each other.

It’s not like this ordinary family...it’s even more different.

After pondering for a moment, Dean Xie couldn't help but ask, "How can you be so sentimental? Isn't it for your ambition and for the country?"

Ye Jingming bowed to Dean Xie and said, "Students have ambitions in their hearts, but they also have families. This is not a conflict."

Dean Xie was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Dean Xie remained silent, Ye Jingming immediately continued, "Teacher, I have a family to care about, so I will work harder. If I am lucky enough to be favored by the higher-ups in the future, I will be more vigilant and careful and will not dare to make mistakes."

Dean Xie stared at Ye Jingming for a long time before slowly nodding and laughing.

Dean Xie stroked his beard and said, "You're right, you're right...it was me who underestimated you. Jingming, study hard, you have a bright future!"

Ye Jingming saluted to Dean Xie calmly and said, "Teacher, you are so kind. It's all thanks to your good teaching."

Dean Xie did not refuse and laughed: "Okay, okay, then I will accept the things you sent me."

Ye Jingming bowed and said, "My little sister said that if the teacher likes it, it will be available every day. But, but..."

"But how?" Dean Xie asked after seeing him hesitating.

Ye Jingming was helpless: "My little sister said that you can't eat too much of this thing, you can only eat less, because she is afraid that you... will have high blood sugar."

"What is high blood sugar?" Dean Xie was not angry, but laughed instead.

Ye Jingming said quickly, "It's said to be a hidden disease that elderly people get when they eat too much sweets."

Dean Xie laughed: "Indeed, I'm old now, and it's hard for me to digest sweet things."

"My sister said if you like it, I'll make it less sweet next time."

Ye Jingming said: "As for the milk tea, when the weather gets cold, I will give you a hot one. Try the taste first."

"Hahaha! Jingming, your little sister is really interesting, unlike you, who is so old-fashioned." Dean Xie was generous with his praise and said with a smile while looking at Ye Jingming.

Except for the one who just came to deliver food, the other granddaughters in his house are a little too steady.

Little girls should be lively, naughty and courageous.

I think Ye Jingming’s younger sister might be the peasant wife of the Seventh Prince who has been rumored in the capital recently. This peasant woman... is really interesting, no wonder the Seventh Prince is so happy.

Just looking at his back and demeanor, he was indeed different from others.

"Then please thank your younger sister on my behalf. Your younger sister is more sensible than you." Dean Xie said with a smile.

Ye Jingming was helpless: "No matter how much I hide it from the teacher, my younger sister said that no matter how talented I am, I should understand the ways of the world."

"Yes, your little sister is right." Dean Xie nodded repeatedly, becoming more and more satisfied as he listened. "I will have my birthday party in a few days. How about you bring your little sister to the Xie Mansion with you?"
