Joy of Life: Starting from Teacher Fan Xian

Chapter 25 Wang admires you
As night fell, candlelight flickered, and the maids and servants were busy preparing a sumptuous meal.

The Fan family had dinner very late today, but the food was particularly delicious. Lord Si Nanbo laughed after a long absence and was finally no longer as cold as usual. The maids and servants all breathed a sigh of relief.

"How was Ruoruo's stay in Danzhou this year?" During the quiet meal, Lord Sinanbo unexpectedly broke the rules and started chatting about family matters, expressing his concern about his daughter's life experiences abroad.

Fan Ruoruo tilted her head, her eyes rolling around, revealing a thoughtful look, and finally gave a very general answer: "I'm doing very well. Daddy, grandma, brother, maids and sisters are all very good. Everything in Danzhou is good."

Ruoruo said seriously, lowered her eyelids, considered for a moment and looked at the teacher sitting opposite her, pouting her lips and said, "It's just that the teacher always chases Ruoruo away from class, which is not good."

This is the most sincere complaint from a well-behaved little girl.

"If you find the teacher annoying, then we don't need him to teach you. When you turn four, go to Fan's private school." Fan Jian's tone was very gentle, revealing a doting attitude that had not been seen for a long time, but this doting attitude was hard to accept.

Fan Ruoruo made a bitter face: "Ruoruo still wants to listen to the teacher's lecture."

Fan Jian shook his head and pointed his finger at him: "The master has to go to the capital to prepare for the Spring Examination. How can he have time to play with a naughty boy like you?"

"Ruoruo is not naughty." Fan Ruoruo cried, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Then Daddy will bring brother back, and Ruoruo and brother will go to the private school together."

Hearing this, Fan Jian's lips curled up slightly, a smile slowly unfolded, and he said softly: "You go to the private school to study first, and when the time comes, Dad will bring your brother back."

Fan Ruoruo lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head: "Daddy, don't lie to me."

Fan Jian smiled, turned his gaze towards Lin Ruo, and sighed, "Children nowadays are hard to coax. It's better to have a woman to look after them at home."

Lin Ruo smiled knowingly: "It seems that Lord Si Nanbo is ready."

Fan Jian looked at the young man in front of him with appreciation and nodded: "It's not easy for me to show up, so I need someone to help me. After looking around, you are the only one who is suitable in the mansion."

Lin Ruo smiled and thought, "Letting an outsider who has just entered the mansion go would be a bit disrespectful to the Madam."

"Once you give me face, it will be hard to control me in the future. I better be ruthless." Fan Jian frowned slightly.

Lin Ruo hesitated for a moment, then stood up and bowed: "I am willing to share Si Nanbo's worries."

Fan Jian waved his hand to signal him to sit down, put his hands in his sleeves, and said in a nonchalant manner: "Okay, I'll find someone for you if you need help in the mansion."

Lin Ruo thought for a moment and replied, "Teng Zijing will lead the way, and we will have a few servants and maids to accompany us, and we can bring an ordinary carriage. The more ordinary the better."

"That's all?" Fan Jian stared in confusion.

"Of course there are some more. When the Fan family travels, we must not lose our dignity. The flags must be magnificent and grand, and it is best for everyone to see them. This excitement cannot be reserved for our Fan family alone."

Fan Jian stood up and said, "That's great. I'll write you another letter and give her a good scolding. Let others see how harsh I, Si Nanbo, am to others."

"When is the date chosen?"

"No rush, pick a good day in a few days and go there."

After saying that, Fan Jian walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back. The serious Si Nanbo had laughed countless times tonight, and the heaviness in his heart fell to the ground, and he became a different person.

"Sir, do you really want to pick up my aunt?" Fan Ruoruo asked.

Lin Ruo deliberately leaned over and whispered to the little girl: "Don't worry, your aunt will be much more obedient in the future. Besides, you have a younger brother. If you are unhappy in the future, you can bully him. It's a good thing." Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but smile: "Is it really okay? Didn't the master say that we can't bully others?"

"Why not? It has always been natural for a sister to bully her brother."

Outside the hall, the maid came in hurriedly, interrupting the laughter and chatter: "Sir, someone is looking for you outside."

……

It was gradually getting dark, but a figure could be vaguely seen outside the gate of Fan's mansion. The smile seemed to be glued to his face, with rows of wrinkles on it.

"It should be okay to smile like this." Wang Qinian thought, fiddling with the movements on his face.

Wang Qinian didn't know what bad luck he had, but not long after he retired from the front line and lived a leisurely life, he was sent to do such a troublesome task of poaching. He felt miserable.

The door of Fan's house opened, and the tall figure walked out. Wang Qinian breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes sparkled, and he smiled attentively. He quickly leaned over to greet him: "Ah, Master Lin, you have traveled all the way from Danzhou to Beijing. You must have worked hard."

"Who are you? My last name is Lin, but I don't know you."

"Mr. Lin is so forgetful." Wang Qinian pretended to sigh, but then he changed his mind and suddenly realized that the tone of voice was not half as gentle as the one he saw in the Supervisory Office today. He quickly raised his head to look, and his heart sank when he saw it.

Standing on the steps was a sturdy, dark-skinned man, who was the servant in charge of opening the door.

Wang Qinian angrily slapped himself twice, "This mission has failed, this mission has failed."

"Is there something?" Lin Ruo walked out slowly from behind the servant.

Seeing this, Wang Qinian regrouped and leaned forward again to meet him.

Before he could make any move, Lin Ruo stopped him and said, "I heard it. No need to repeat it a second time."

Wang Qinian stopped awkwardly: "That's good, as long as Master Lin understands my feelings."

"What's your intention?" Lin Ruo frowned in confusion.

Wang Qinian smiled and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Mr. Lin, you don't know that I have admired you for a long time. I just regret that I have never met you. Today, when we met in the courtyard, we felt like old friends. When we met again in Fan Mansion, I fell in love with you again. I can't help myself. How lucky I am."

Lin Ruo was stunned for a moment, and pointed out: "There is something wrong with your wording. We have only met twice, so how can it be possible that you have already developed admiration for me?"

"Mr. Lin, do you know Lord Fei and Lord Yingzi?" Wang Qinian asked.

Lin Ruo said without hesitation: "So what if I recognize you."

"That's right." Wang Qinian clapped his hands and looked over with a loving face. His eyes didn't move for a moment. He stared at the man with a loud voice and said, "Mr. Lin, you don't know that your reputation has spread to every corner of our Overwatch Council. Lord Fei and Lord Shadow often praise you. They spread the word. If you can be appreciated by the two heads of the Council, even if I am deaf and blind, I will have heard about it."

"It's a pity that I have admired you for many years, but I have never met you. I am so miserable. I have no choice but to ask Mr. Shadow to make a portrait of you. I will look at it every day to express my gratitude."

After saying this, without waiting for Lin Ruo to react, Wang Qinian took out a portrait that was eight feet in length and dragged it to the ground.

Lin Ruo looked at him in surprise: "Your painting...is not done yet..."
