Chapter 67
At the end of May, Cen Xijun began to go in and out of Yu Mansion to teach Yu Chen's younger brother Yu Yang.
Yu Yang is the young master of the Yu family, and now he is only six years old. Old Master Yu is old and has a son, and he is very precious to this little son, when he reaches the age of enlightenment, he only wants to find a good master for Yu Yang, so Yu Chen agreed when he proposed to let Cen Xi come to the house to teach Yu Yang's homework. Although the imperial examination has been cancelled, the young master of Yu Mansion cannot be a reckless man without any ink, just by virtue of the name of Cen Xi's concubine Xie Yuan, Master Yu is also very willing.
Yu Yang is young, and some famous masters have opened schools, and they are not very happy to go over to the house in person to enlighten a child who doesn't know anything, and if he is willing to come, Master Yu dislikes that others have low academic attainments, lest he delay Yu Yang's road to becoming a talent. Picking and choosing, there has been no satisfactory candidate, but now he looks at Cen Ximi's place.
Although Cen Xijun also set up a private school, and the group of students he taught was much older than Yu Yang, Yu Yang's age was not suitable to go to his private school, but because the relationship between Yu Mansion and Cen Mansion was extraordinary, Cen Xijun University could go to the house to teach Yu Yang alone. Master Yu was very satisfied with Cen Ximi, and Master Cen did not refute it because Cen Xijun personally informed him of this, so the matter was quickly settled.
As soon as the school ended today, Cen Xijun packed up his books and went to Yufu. Today is the first time he has gone to give Yu Yang a lesson, so it's not good to go late.
"Young Master Cen, please."
As soon as Cen Xijun arrived at the gate of Yufu, a person dressed as a small servant greeted him and took him all the way to Yufu's study, with a respectful attitude, thinking that it was specially ordered by the master.
There was a maid waiting at the door, and when she saw Cen Xijun coming over, she hurriedly opened the curtain for him. Cen Xi nodded slightly, which was regarded as thanks. But the little girl quietly blushed after he left. It turns out that the future uncle is so handsome!
Cen Xi entered the study, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the girl sitting on the side of the desk. The girl was looking at the book spread out on the table with her head down, supporting her smooth forehead with one hand and gently twisting the pages with the other, with a lazy posture but a very serious look. It wasn't until he heard a sound at the door that he raised his head, his eyes were a little curious, and it wasn't until he saw clearly that he was a little shy, stood up and walked five steps away from Cen Xiyi, stopped and bowed.
"Brother Xi, you're here."
The girl's voice is clear and soft, just like her beautiful and lovely appearance.
"Xiaojin, you're here too."
Cen Xi looked at the smiling girl in front of him, and was a little happy in his heart. He didn't ask her why she was here, but just meaninglessly described the scene at hand, in response to her, with a tone of joy that he didn't even perceive.
Since Yu Chen left, Cen Xijun also came to Yu Mansion to visit Yu Jin several times, except for the first time Yu Jin cried because he missed Yu Chen and annoyed that he lied to himself, she never cried anymore when they met, but Cen Xijun could still see that she was unhappy.
Although Cen Xijun was distressed, he did not force Yu Jin to be happy under the banner of persuasion like Mrs. Yu. Every time she came to see her, Cen Xijun would bring some strange things from the street stalls to Yu Jin, which could be regarded as diverting her attention and making her less immersed in sad emotions.
It's just that although the two have a marriage contract, they haven't gotten married in the end, and Cen Xi's family can't run to Yufu for three days, so he hasn't seen Yu Jin again in the past ten days, but just personally picked out some gadgets and sent them to Yufu. Looking at Yu Jin's cheerful look today, Cen Xi's worries for the past few days have been completely dissipated.
"Brother Xi, my father asked me to study with Xiaoyang, and you will be the master of me and Xiaoyang in the future."
Yu Jin looked up at Cen Xijun slightly, and his white cheeks slowly climbed into the red glow as he spoke, obviously ashamed.
Cen Xijun was relieved when he heard this, it turned out that he was worried that someone deliberately led him here, and took the opportunity to tarnish Xiaojin's reputation, but now he was relieved to learn that it was Uncle Yu's order.
It's not that Cen Xijun thinks about it too much, it's just that Yu Jin stays in her own small courtyard mostly due to physical reasons, and rarely comes out to walk around on weekdays. Master Yu didn't tell Cen Xijun temporarily, today Cen Xijun came to give Yu Yang a lesson, but he met Yu Jin, so it's no wonder that he suspected that some people did it deliberately. Of course, the main reason is because Cen Xijun cares too much about Yu Jin, so it is inevitable to think about it more.
"That's fine, Xiaojin studies hard, I will teach seriously."
Cen Xi looked at the girl's shy answer, and couldn't help but smile, and his tone was gentle, not like a stern master.
Cen Xijun couldn't say that he agreed or disagreed with Master Yu's arrangement. Different from other merchants' families, the Yu family has always paid attention to the education of future generations, even if it is a young lady, it is necessary to invite a female gentleman to the mansion to educate herself. In addition to female popularity, female virtue, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting also have to be learned, but because Yu Jin was born in poor health, Master Yu has not been ruthless to force her to study.
On the contrary, Yu Jin fought for his own energy, and when he was in better health, he followed Mrs. Yu to read and read. Mrs. Yu's father was a teacher, and she herself was a lady who was well-versed in poetry and books, so over the years, Yu Jin was not only not worse than others, but because she loved to read and was talented, she became a well-known talented woman in Shanghai.
Cen Xijun knew that Yu Jin was not an old-fashioned woman who held a female ring to read, on the contrary, the books she read included the Four Books and Five Classics, and historical books and miscellaneous talks, and he knew that she wanted to be a thoughtful and talented person, rather than an ignorant woman who was trapped in the four corners of the world and guarded her husband and children. Compared with Mr. Female, Cen Xijun is indeed more suitable to be Yu Jin's master.
It's just that Yu Jin is a woman who hasn't been out of the cabinet in the end, he understands her thoughts, he supports her, and is willing to accompany her to learn and grow together, but he also understands that the world is difficult and dangerous, and people's words are terrifying.
Cen Xi's heart was entangled, but looking at the girl's extraordinarily bright smile, he still didn't say anything. That's it, he just guards her.
"Brother Xihu."
A soft voice sounded.
Cen Xi followed the source of the sound and looked over, only to find the little boy standing behind Yu Jin. The boy seemed to be a little afraid of Cen Xijun, and his chubby hand still tugged at Yu Jin's horse-faced skirt and didn't let go.
Yu Yang timidly looked up at the tall and tall Cen Xijun in front of him, this man is really good-looking, and he smiles at his sister, not like a fierce big brother at all. Yu Yang had a good impression of him, and called him obediently, originally his sister taught him to call him Master Cen, but she herself called him brother, Yu Yang was not happy, so he learned from Yu Jin to call 'Brother Xi'.
