Chapter 781: Xiaobai is Dabai's younger brother
Tang Bao's little face showed an expression of concern for Zhang Hanlin. She said, "There is an academy in our countryside. Most of the students there are from poor families. If Master Zhang goes there to teach and educate those farmers' children, it can be regarded as a commitment to rural life. It is consistent in what he says and what he does, and what he says and what he says..."
When Tang Bao said this, a look of embarrassment appeared on her little face.
Changing his tone, he continued, "It's just that the academy charges low fees. It's not for profit, but for cultivating talents. Therefore, the teacher's salary is not high. I'm afraid that Master Zhang will find it too little and be unwilling to go..."
Zhang Hanlin, who originally only wanted to swing a hoe and not a teaching stick, immediately said with a solemn oath after hearing Tang Bao's words: "How could it be? I don't want a salary!"
Tang Bao's face lit up with joy, "So, Master Zhang agreed?"
Zhang Hanlin: "..."
Did he say yes?
"Yes, I only hope that in my lifetime, I can do my best to help the poor people in the world." Zhang Hanlin said with a stiff face.
"Master Zhang is truly righteous!" Tang Bao praised him profusely. "Su Tang, on behalf of all the children of Fude Academy, thanks Master Zhang!"
After saying this, he bowed to Zhang Hanlin.
Okay, another teacher position has been solved.
With Zhang Hanlin, the former runner-up in the imperial examination, Fude Academy still has its reputation even if the top scorer leaves.
Moreover, the letter of recommendation given by the master was also saved.
Xuanyuan Jin clasped his fists and bowed to Zhang Hanlin, saying apologetically, "I misunderstood you, Master Zhang. I beg your forgiveness."
What else can Zhang Hanlin say?
"I'm ashamed. I was not a good teacher. I don't blame the Third Prince." Zhang Hanlin said gratefully, "Instead, I want to thank the Third Prince for believing in me and giving me a chance to prove myself."
Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin looked at each other, and both were very satisfied with the result.
Afterwards, after hearing the whole story, Yu Zhilan couldn't help but laugh three times.
Zhang Hanlin was just too careful about his reputation! He had been so careful about it his entire life, but he never expected that in his old age, he would fall for his own young apprentice.
When Yu Zhilan thought of this, she couldn't help but feel very proud.
Tang Bao smiled and said, "Master Zhang may not know yet, but we have an acquaintance of Master Zhang at our Fude Academy. After Master Zhang arrives, he can have a drink and chat with acquaintances in his spare time, or even play hand-to-hand or fishing. It won't be boring."
"An acquaintance?" Zhang Hanlin was surprised.
Tang Bao nodded and said with a smile: "My master's surname is Yu, and his given name is Zhilan."
Zhang Hanlin: "...Yu Fox?"
Zhang Hanlin looked at Tang Bao, then at Xuanyuan Jin, and suddenly felt like he was being tricked...

Su Mansion.
"The Empress Dowager summoned you?"
As soon as Old Man Su came back, he heard this great news.
Old Madam Su nodded and said, "Just now, the Empress Dowager sent someone to meet with everyone in our Su family."
Old Man Su rubbed his hands and tried to calm down.
"Well, Xiaobai, thank you so much today." Old Man Su turned to look at Bai Shuan, a satisfied smile on his face, and said, "When you go to Daliushu Village next time, Uncle Su will take you hunting on Phoenix Mountain!"
This boy is really good.
Although he came from a wealthy family, he was hospitable and polite, without any of the bad habits and arrogance that young masters from wealthy families often have.
So, I took my family out for a walk for most of the day.
He didn't complain about being annoyed or tired, and even secretly paid for the lunch.
After hearing what Old Man Su said, Bai Shuan smiled with sparkling eyes and said, "In that case, I'll make an appointment with Uncle Su to visit Daliushu Village some other day..."
“Hahaha…Okay!”
Old man Su laughed heartily and patted Bai Shuan on the shoulder, acting like a close friend regardless of age.
When Tang Bao walked in and saw this scene, her face was filled with surprise.
It seems that the fourth young master of the Bai family, who always blushes and acts like a shy young wife, seems to be a little different.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Tang Bao said.
Bai Shuan immediately looked at Tang Bao with surprise, and then——
His face turned red again.
"Sister Su." Bai Shuan blushed and greeted Tang Bao shyly.
Tang Bao: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched.
"Young Master Bai." Tang Bao said politely.
Old Man Su looked at his daughter and said with a smile, "My daughter, today we are all very lucky to have Xiaobai take us to visit the city. Xiaobai is a very honest person. From now on, you can just call him Brother Xiaobai..."
"Isn't Xiaobai Dabai's younger brother?" Xuanyuan Jin's voice sounded faintly.
He just came in a little late and listened to Zhang Cheng report some things in the yard.
But as soon as I entered the door, I heard that Tangbao had a new brother.
"Greetings, Third Prince." Bai Shuan quickly bowed to Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin nodded slightly: "No need to be so polite."
Then, he looked at Old Man Su and gave a sincere suggestion: "Uncle Su, there is always a pattern in naming Tangbao. The name Xiaobai has already been reserved by Dabai's younger brother. It is not appropriate for Young Master Bai to be called this name."
Old Man Su: “…”
Tang Bao stroked her forehead with her hand.
Little brother, you are so mean!
Bai Shuan was confused and asked, "Who is Dabai?"
Old Man Su: “…”
Old Mrs. Su: “…”
Tang Bao: “…”
"It's a big black dog that Tang Bao raised." Xuanyuan Jin said, "When it doesn't obey, it gets beaten."
Bai Shuan: “…”
His expression froze.
"Um, hehe..." Old Man Su looked at Bai Shuan and said awkwardly, "Xiaobai, no, Young Master Bai..."
"Uncle Su, just call me Shuan."
"Oh, yes, Shu'an." Old Man Su nodded repeatedly, "Shu'an, thank you so much today..."
"Uncle Su, you are so polite." Bai Shuan said with a bow, "I will not disturb you any more. I will go ahead and wait for you at the gate of the Bai Mansion."
After all, everyone in the Su family was going to the Bai Mansion to meet the Empress Dowager.
After Bai Shuan finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Bao, blushed slightly, and then turned and walked out.
Old Man Su personally saw Bai Shuan out, saying, "Shuan, take care... take care... see you later..."
Xuanyuan Jin looked at Bai Shuan's back with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Then, he looked at Old Man Su, forced a smile on his face, and asked, "Uncle Su, are you going to the Bai Mansion to see my grandmother? Why don't I go with Uncle Su..."
Old Man Su looked at the smile on Xuanyuan Jin's face and suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
Of course, it’s not that Xuanyuan Jin’s smile is ugly.
After all, if a person is good-looking, they will never smile ugly, right?
However, Old Man Su has known Xuanyuan Jin for so many years, but he has never seen Xuanyuan Jin smile.
Every time I see Xuanyuan Jin, he always looks mature beyond his years.
Now he's actually smiling at me, and it's an inexplicable smile...
"Um, Young Master Yang..."
"Uncle, just call me Jin'er." Xuanyuan Jin said.
Old Man Su: “…”
