The old dean discovered a serious problem. The top seed player in their college has become less talkative and depressed recently.
His grades in various subjects didn't drop, and he listened very attentively in class, but he seemed listless and lacking energy.
This didn't happen the last time I talked to him alone. Could it be that he said something that irritated the students?
The puzzled old dean returned home and unexpectedly learned the truth from his wife.
It turned out that Su Shien's husband had come twice. He did not hide it and said directly that he came to ask the dean to give him a "name".
Listening to my wife rambling on about how sweet, virtuous, and pretty the child is...
I know that my old wife has fallen into the old habit of judging people by their appearance again. This old lady has a fatal weakness, which is that she likes good-looking people.
The old dean heaved a long sigh, feeling extremely fortunate that she had never seen Su Shien's appearance, otherwise, the matter of bestowing him with a "character" would be a foregone conclusion.
In fact, it is not a big deal to just give him a "character". He had retired long ago and had nothing to fear or avoid. Besides, who would not want to take a good seedling as his disciple?
But Su Shien should have had a teacher who enlightened him, and his parents were still alive, so it would be inappropriate for him to take over.
The old dean was still conflicted, but he couldn't stop Han Zeyu from visiting him every day.
You say he has other intentions, and he does have them, and he made it clear what he wanted on the first day.
If he takes the initiative to show goodwill right from the start and then says what he wants, then everything he did before would be considered as having ulterior motives.
But his frank attitude makes it difficult for others to find fault with him, so he is plotting against you, betting that he can't refuse openly, and he is reluctant to give up Su Shien, such a good seedling.
Isn’t it said that Su Shien’s family has a fierce husband who is rude, jealous, greedy for money, and comes from the countryside?
Rumors are indeed unbelievable. This character, this conversation, this way of dealing with people, and that thick skin...
He is indeed old. Some young people should not be underestimated!
After unremitting efforts, the couple worked together and finally got the note written by the old dean himself.
Su Shien, whose courtesy name is Mingran.
Among them, "Ming" symbolizes light, represents brightness, justice, clarity, and deep understanding of justice, and implies reason, wisdom, and intelligence.
"Ran" means gentle, mild, kind and respectful.
Ming Ran? The overall meaning of this "character" is good at observation, humble and sensible. It also symbolizes noble character and profound moral cultivation.
This has a really good implication. Han Zeyu was very satisfied and went to chat with the dean's wife three days later.
This time, Han Zeyu came with gifts. The previous times he only brought some ordinary vegetables and fruits, but this time he brought a valuable gift.
As soon as the old dean entered the yard, he saw the extra flower bed. He walked around it twice and couldn't help but sigh in admiration. The flower bed was built with great skill, at least much better than the craftsmen he hired.
"Isn't it beautiful? I was saying that kid is very clever and works very efficiently. When he was digging this flower bed, he even found my earrings that I had lost for several years. He's such a blessing."
It started again. The following omitted all the compliments and went straight to the most important point, which was also the point that the old woman almost forgot: Han Zeyu also gave him a gift.
The old dean felt that something was wrong and wanted to return the item to the owner, but when he got the item, he found it was quite heavy.
The dean's wife reminded him, "Look! It's okay. Yu Ge'er opened it and showed it to me before. The chess pieces he carved and fired himself are a token of his love."
The old dean dispelled his concerns after hearing this. He thought there was nothing wrong with accepting the chess pieces he had burned.
As soon as the lid of the box was opened, the old dean was stunned. He suddenly wanted to put the lid back on, or return it to the owner!
"Old woman, why are you trying to trick me?"
"How can you talk like that? Why would I try to trick you? I told you that kid is incredibly clever. He's only met me a few times, but the clay figurine he made looks just like me. Wait, I'll show it to you."
His wife is rarely so happy now that her children are not around. Look how busy she is.
While his wife was away, the old director opened the lid again and took out a chess piece from it. The feel, the texture, and the craftsmanship were so exquisite that it was no exaggeration to say it was a work of art.
He was becoming more and more confused. He said that the other person was a country boy. He might as well ask which mountain or which field could produce such a person?
The thing is good and I really want to keep it, but I always feel unworthy of it. The key is that the thing is too valuable.
While she was struggling with the dilemma, her husband came over with a clay doll that was said to be exactly like her, waiting for the old man's praise.
The old dean's expression was hard to describe. If you said they looked alike, then they did, but she was obviously ten years younger.
Brother Han, you are not honest, why are you lying to others?
Of course, he couldn't say it openly, so he could only rack his brains to find words to praise it with his eyes closed.
Good-looking, true to life, lifelike, in fact, you are even more elegant...
What simple and unpretentious words! Who would have thought that they came from the mouth of an old gentleman who is knowledgeable and has educated countless people.
Su Shien was called in for a talk, and he made it clear that he would not take the gift back. It was a token of his love as a couple, and they thanked the dean for his training.
After saying a lot of polite words, the old dean looked at Su Shien's departing back with a complicated expression.
Although he is still a little immature, it can be seen that this kid is very suitable for the officialdom.
If he had this mentality back then, he wouldn't have retreated so early. It's just fate...
The three big days every year are the couple’s birthdays and wedding anniversaries.
Su Shien's birthday was celebrated extra grandly this year, and he reluctantly returned to Qingshan County.
It was not until he heard that his eldest son was going to have his coming-of-age ceremony that Su Wanli suddenly realized that he had really forgotten.
If it were an ordinary day, Su Wangshi, as the legal mother, would have stepped forward to remind her, but the couple was still in a cold war, so this embarrassing scene happened.
Fortunately, Su Shien didn't have high expectations. Her husband was right, there would be no disappointment without expectations. He accepted it well now.
Mrs. Su Wang had just finished her confinement and instructed the housekeeper to prepare for the ceremony of crowning. This time it was not that she wanted to embarrass Su Shien on purpose, but she really forgot.
After learning that his son had already chosen a name, which was chosen personally by the dean of Luoqi Academy.
Patting Su Shien's shoulder, Su Wanli was very pleased. It was such an honor. He was worthy of being Su Wanli's son. He was so hardworking.
Su Shien didn't even bother to control his expression, he just went through the motions and didn't need to pretend to be familiar with the person.
