Chapter 401: The dignified tiger-fighting hero is actually a henpecked coward



"Wouldn't it be nice for your great-grandfather to hire a teacher to study at home for you? You can also spend more time with your great-grandfather." Old Cen bent down and asked Qingtian.

Qin Hexuan took the opportunity to say, "Before Qingtian, Mr. Wei taught me how to start learning calligraphy.

"Our two homes aren't too far away. Why not have Qingtian come over every morning to study, come back for lunch and a nap, and spend more time with his family in the afternoon? What do you think, Mr. Cen?"

Wei Yan also nodded and said, "Miss Qingtian is quite talented. Not only does she have a photographic memory, but she is also very studious.

"The girls' school is just a place where people just go to waste time. Sending her there will only delay the child's development."

Wei Yan spoke out what Mr. Cen had been too embarrassed to say.

However, given Wei Yan's status, he is indeed qualified to say so.

"Qingtian, do you want to go to the girls' school so much? Do you think I'm not teaching well enough?"

Qingtian quickly shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Of course not, Mr. Wei taught very well."

Wei Yan has always liked Qingtian, especially because she is so intelligent.

The previous exposure was relatively brief, so he only taught some basic content.

If Mrs. Ye could come to the capital and Qingtian could come to study every day, he could make some plans specifically for Qingtian's enlightenment.

Mrs. Ye was very worried about this. After all, the Qin family was an official family. It would be fine to visit them occasionally, but it would be inappropriate to go there to study every day.

"Mrs. Ye, don't worry. As long as you and Qingtian agree, leave this matter to me." Wei Yan agreed readily and went to ask for an audience with Lord Qin after returning.

The next day, Mrs. Qin ordered Yue Tao to take people to clean up a courtyard in the southeast corner of the Qin Mansion.

This courtyard is not too big, with only two entrances in total.

The first courtyard was used as a study, and the second courtyard was used as a residence.

There is also a door on the side that leads directly to the alley.

"Sister Yuetao, who are you going to live with after we clean this place up?" The maid who was doing the rough work couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's for Mr. Wei to stay here." Yue Tao said, "Mr. Wei has accepted another disciple, who also wants to come and study with us.

"The master and mistress asked us to clean up this place to make things easier for Mr. Wei."

This is not a secret. Everyone will know about it when people move in in a couple of days, so there is nothing to hide.

"Anyone who can be accepted as a disciple by Mr. Wei must be extraordinary!" said the maid. "At least he must be as smart as our young master."

"This isn't something we should worry about. Hurry up and get to work!" Yue Tao said to everyone who was cleaning. "Clean up every corner. Madam will come to check it herself. Don't mess around."

All the furniture in the house was moved out and new ones were bought in.

After everything was packed up, Mrs. Qin did not come to check. Instead, Qin Songyin came with Mr. Wei, and the people behind them were carrying more than a dozen boxes.

The servants stood in the yard, not daring to breathe, trying hard to recall if there were any omissions in the areas they were responsible for.

Qin Songyin said to Wei Yan, "Mr. Wei, take a look. Are you satisfied with the cleanup here? If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell me."

Wei Yan had previously found Qin Songyin and said that he wanted to move out of the Qin Mansion.

This scared Qin Songyin, and he thought Wei Yan didn't want to continue teaching Qin Hexuan.

You know, when Wei Yan was invited to be the teacher for his youngest son, not only was the whole capital envious, but even the emperor asked about it after hearing about it.

The Emperor also said at the time: "Mr. Wei is a man of extraordinary talent. Your son has been chosen by him as his apprentice. It seems that your beloved minister has a successor. I am very much looking forward to it!"

If Wei Yan suddenly didn't want Qin Hexuan anymore, rumors would definitely spread throughout the capital, and his youngest son's reputation and future would probably be ruined.

Fortunately, Wei Yan said that he just wanted to accept another disciple. It was too inconvenient to stay in the Qin Mansion all the time. He planned to go out and find a small courtyard, and then let Qin Hexuan go there to continue studying.

Qin Songyin didn't dare to force it, but he didn't want to agree, so he had to say that he would think about it and then give Wei Yan an answer to see if there was a better solution.

In the evening he went home and told his wife about this matter, and Mrs. Qin immediately came up with this good idea.

"Look, there's a door opened for you in the front yard. It's not finished yet, but it will be done in two or three days.

"This way you can go in and out directly through the corner door in the southeast corner, which is very convenient.

"How about I take you to the backyard bedroom?"

"I actually have very low requirements for my residence. As long as the study is to my liking, that's enough." Wei Yan said with a smile, "Thank you, Lord Qin and Madam Qin, for your concern this time."

"Look at what you said. You are willing to accept He Xuan as your disciple. We can't ask for it even if we want. This is what we should do."

Although Wei Yan did have the capital, he didn't want Qin Songyin to have a bad impression of Qingtian because of this incident, so he said directly: "Master Qin, you don't know, my family had some changes, so I gave up on myself for a while.

"Luckily, I was rescued by Miss Qingtian, and then I had the opportunity to meet your wife and your son.

“When we were on our way to Beijing, I felt that Miss Qingtian was very talented, but she was very young at the time, so I didn’t mention it.

"She is five years old now, and my family is planning to go to Beijing to do business, so I took the initiative to take her in. I hope Master Qin will understand."

"It turns out that Mr. Wei and Miss Qingtian have such a connection.

"That's a good thing. Congratulations on getting what you wanted."
