Chunlian also looked up and recognized the man. She quickly whispered something in her mistress's ear.
"Miss, this is a teacher from Nanding Foreign Language Institute."
Fan Qingqing frowned as if trying to recall something, but she still couldn't figure out which one it was.
Her brother was studying at the Imperial Academy and had no idea who the teacher at the Nanding Foreign Language Academy was.
She naturally didn't know either.
"Young master, how long have you been here?" Fan Qingqing asked.
The handsome man smiled gently and said in a warm and gentle voice, "I took shelter when it started raining."
"I was silent the whole time, which frightened the two young ladies. I apologize to you."
Fan Qingqing said, "Young master, what are you saying? We are the ones who should apologize."
"I was unaware that you were already here, and that's why I intruded so abruptly. I'm truly sorry."
The two went back and forth apologizing, making Chunlian, who was standing to the side, want to roll her eyes.
He interrupted, saying, "Miss, young master, you don't need to apologize to each other anymore."
"It's already gotten this bad, let's just pray this heavy rain stops soon!"
The two exchanged a smile, as if what the girl said did make sense!
The sky leaks, and I know not where to mend it; the earth feels so lowly, and I feel this life is so fleeting.
The heavy rain continued to fall. The three of them stood together, looking up at the eaves. The continuous rain was making them feel a little sad.
Xin Chenchen looked somewhat melancholy. She glanced at Fan Qingqing, her cherry lips slightly pouting, her displeasure evident on her face.
"May I ask, young lady, which household do you belong to?"
Xin Chenchen spoke softly.
Fan Qingqing and Chunlian heard the sound and turned their heads to look. They saw that the man was completely soaked.
Yet, standing there with his dark eyebrows and jade-like features, Fan Qingqing was somewhat lost in thought.
Xin Chenchen felt a little embarrassed and raised her hand to her lips to cough lightly.
Fan Qingqing snapped out of her daze and bowed, saying, "This humble girl is the daughter of the Fan family."
Xin Chenchen looked up at the sky, as if recalling something, and after a long while said, "Is it the residence of Lord Fan, the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Stud?"
Fan Qingqing was surprised; she hadn't expected him to know her father!
He nodded slightly, indicating that was indeed the case.
Xin Chenchen replied, "Then I understand."
Fan Qingqing gestured to Xin Chenchen with her eyes, still unaware of who he was.
Looking into Fan Qingqing's expressive eyes, Xin Chenchen said, "I am Xin Chenchen, a lecturer at the Foreign Languages Institute."
Fan Qingqing then realized that this was the Emperor's cousin.
Good heavens, this is definitely royalty! Quickly, she pulled her maid to bow and said, "This humble girl is ignorant and pays her respects to Lord Xin."
Xin Chenchen said, "Miss, you flatter me. I am just a schoolteacher and do not deserve to be called 'sir'."
"So you're my cousin's sister-in-law's cousin?" Xin Chenchen instantly understood the relationship between the two!
Fan Qingqing nodded and said, "Yes, Her Majesty the Empress is my cousin."
Now thirty years old, Xin Chenchen has risen from a seventh-rank assistant instructor at the Imperial Academy to a fourth-rank lecturer. How should I put it!
This is related to Rosamund Kwan; the foreign language academy she founded has provided many junior teaching assistants with opportunities.
She suddenly became a formally appointed teacher, but thinking back to Guan Zhiyue's past...
I can never forget the days when I asked him for help!
These are some of the better memories he has of her since meeting Rosamund Kwan.
She felt that no woman in the world was as knowledgeable and talented as her, and even felt that many of them were just putting on a show.
She's all show and no substance, giving off a very unreliable vibe, but seeing this Empress's cousin today...
Not only was her behavior impeccable, but her every gesture even bore a resemblance to that of an empress.
He doesn't have many tricks up his sleeve, nor does he act like a master; he seems like an easy person to get along with.
"Sir, since you are a teacher at the Foreign Languages Institute, you must also know foreign languages, right?" Fan Qingqing asked softly.
Xin Chenchen smiled faintly and said, "My skills were all taught by the Empress. As for my abilities..."
I imagine she's not as capable as the Empress; she probably only knows a little bit, but she can still educate other students.
A beautiful sparkle appeared in Fan Qingqing's eyes, giving one a refreshing feeling.
"That master is quite capable. When Her Majesty the Empress said she would teach my daughter..."
My daughter studied for a whole month, but still couldn't master the basic pronunciation.
"I really admire you amazing people. You can use such obscure and difficult language so easily."
After listening to Fan Qingqing's words, Xin Chenchen replied, "Yes, this language is indeed difficult to understand."
It took me a long time to sort it out.
Only then did I dare to start teaching in front of my students.
"However, if we're talking about who I admire most, it has to be Her Majesty the Empress. Not only did she master all the languages by herself, but..."
And they used them with such ease, which we all greatly admire!
Fan Qingqing nodded repeatedly, completely agreeing!
She truly admired her cousin; she seemed to know everything. She had initially thought her cousin...
She was just a sheltered young lady who never left her home, but now her cousin can do everything with ease!
Even when it comes to farming, her cousin does it better than everyone else.
That's absolutely incredible!
She admired her sister immensely; she even wondered if her sister was born with a natural talent for farming.
Otherwise, how could someone from a family living in luxury have managed to figure out a method for farming?
The key is that they were able to produce so much high-yield grain and so many strange and wonderful farming tools.
If this isn't something they were born knowing how to farm, then what is it?
Most importantly, she was also well-read and knew everything!
The more Fan Qingqing thought about it, the more she realized how amazing her cousin was, and she couldn't help but smile knowingly.
This smile amazed Xin Chenchen, stirring a long-dormant feeling in his heart and making him unable to look away.
Fan Qingqing laughed to herself, while Chunlian looked at Xin Chenchen's somewhat infatuated gaze.
Looking at her young mistress, she quickly nudged Fan Qingqing with her elbow. Only then did Fan Qingqing notice that Xin Chenchen was staring at her in a daze.
She quickly suppressed her smile, glanced at the rain outside which had become a light drizzle, and then slightly bent her knees.
She bowed respectfully and said, "Lord Xin, the rain has subsided, so I will take my leave now."
Xin Chenchen wanted to say something, but that graceful figure had already stepped into the drizzling rain, the mistress and servant supporting each other.
He walked into the bustling crowd until he disappeared from sight...
