In other words, after meeting Lin Chengcan, the old man had found him no different from anyone else.

At first, Xia Yu did not believe that this old man was capable of anything, but after hearing his words, she felt very pleased.

She did not beat around the bush and leaned close to Xia Qingyun's ear, "It's time to do something. Don't just stand there."

The brother and sister must have discussed on the way that they would do it when it was time. They must be thick-skinned.

Xia Qingyun was also very sensible. After being reminded by Xia Yu, she quickly knelt down in front of the old man. "Sir, I want to learn how to read and write with you. Please accept me."

Xia Yu stood to the side, taking in every expression on the old man's face and trying to guess what he was thinking.

However, the old man was also very strange. From the beginning to the end, his smiling face did not change.

"There are a lot of people who come to my house every day, and a lot of people who want me to be their teacher. Tell me what you're good at."

Naturally, Xia Qingyun couldn't think of anything. Xia Yu spoke from the side, "Because we are more determined than others, we must be the furthest among those who came to find you."

The old man shook his head, "That's not it. Even if they came from the village a few miles away."

Xia Yu laughed dryly, "We must be the most special ones!"

"Oh? How so?"

Xia Yu said shamelessly, "My brother doesn't know how to read and write. Two days ago, he asked Lin Chengcan to teach two of them. I'm afraid he's returning them now."

The old man raised his eyebrows, but the smile on his face did not change. "Girl, your skin is quite thick."

From the look on the old man's face, these words were probably not derogatory.

Xia Yu continued to be thick-skinned. "Our family has been farmers for generations. My father now earns money by selling some medicinal herbs. The first thing he does is send people here to study."

"Since you are a farmer, then just do your job well. It is not so easy to become a phoenix."

"We know it is not easy. If we didn't have such determination, we wouldn't have come here."

The old man sized up Xia Qingyun and said, "I don't think this child is a smart person."

"Whether he is smart or not depends on what he has experienced. A person can only become smarter after experiencing a lot of things. Just treat this as a piece of unpolished jade and slowly sculpt it."

The old man was stunned. He looked Xia Yu up and down and said, "I think you are quite good at talking."

Unfortunately, in this era, it was not up to women to study. Besides, Xia Yu's education level in the modern world was not low either. She did not want to come to the ancient times and waste her time studying.

"Sir, you flatter me. No matter how capable I am, it will be useless."

The old man laughed. "You are a good child. What you said makes sense..."

He stopped talking and frowned. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

Xia Yu was anxious at the side and did not know if she should interrupt.

After a while, the old man spoke again, "I can accept you as my students, but I don't want my students to just learn a few words. Go back and discuss it with your parents. If you want to study, you have to go higher. Do you have the ability to go further? "

The meaning of these words was also very simple to understand. He was asking if they had the money to support Xia Qingyun.

Xia Yu felt that there was no need to ask Xia Changping this question. She patted her chest and agreed, "Yes! As long as Qingyun reads a book, I, as his sister, will give him a day."

"You can take care of him now, but when you get married, how are you going to take care of him?"

"It is not the only way for a woman to get married. I have plenty of time to wait."

I laughed, "Let's go back and ask your parents. Let them make the decision."

That made sense. In the ancient times, it was important to learn martial arts from a master. He should at least tell his parents that he was going to learn martial arts from a master.

Today, Xia Changping and the others were all busy, so tomorrow would definitely be fine. It was better to let Xia Changping come and meet this old man.

"May I know where the old man lives? I can also give my father a pointer of the way. When he comes tomorrow, I can directly look for him."

However, the old man said, "I am not that casual when I take in a disciple. Since I am going to take him in, I am going to see his parents. Tomorrow, I will personally visit. You just need to prepare. "

This made Xia Yu very surprised. She had heard that this gentleman was very strict when it came to taking in disciples, but she did not expect it to be so easy.

After talking to the old man, he let Xia Yu take Xia Qingyun back.

He was happy when he came, but when he returned, he was full of worries.

"Sister, do you think this old man looks down on them? Is this just to not embarrass them?"

Xia Qingyun and Xia Yu were thinking the same thing. She... Do you think that's possible?

"Whatever, since things have already come to this point, we have already come out of your village. It's not good to go back."

Xia Qingyun started to say disheartening words, "If it really doesn't work out, then forget it. Maybe I'm not made for studying, and I don't have this life."

Xia Yu did not like to hear this, "Man proposes, God disposes. Even if the heavens don't have this idea, you should fight for it yourself. If you say such disheartening words again, I won't care about you in the future."

What Xia Qingyun cared about the most right now was what Xia Yu thought. When he heard Xia Yu say this, he became a little anxious. "Sister, don't say that. I was wrong, okay?"

"Then Sir didn't accept you because your talent is so good and you don't have any foundation. That is why you should be more determined and put in more effort than others."

"You are right, sister. I... I will never say such depressing words again. Please don't be angry."

Xia Yu also sighed, "I am not angry with you. I just hope that you will have some confidence in yourself. Only then will you have a promising future."

Xia Qingyun nodded obediently. "Alright, if sir accepts me, I will definitely study seriously. In the future, I will bring honor to our Xia family and make those who look down on our family regret it. "

As soon as a smile appeared on Xia Yu's face, the brother and sister went back without stopping.

It was still early when they returned, and Xia Changping and the others had yet to return.

Since Shen Yao was not around today, Xia Yu started cooking.

Not long after, they returned.

Xia Yu told Xia Changping everything that had happened today and then continued to say that she did not know what that person was thinking either. Xia Yu told Xia Changping everything that had happened today and continued, "I don't know what that person is thinking either. It will all depend on tomorrow. If he really comes, then it's true. If he doesn't, then he's just trying to brush us off. There's no need for us to ask any more questions.

Xia Changping also agreed with this saying, "Then let's wait until they come tomorrow."

His family attached great importance to this matter. They had been waiting for the old mister's arrival for almost the entire second day.

However, what Xia Yu was most worried about was that the old man did not show up. Not even a shadow of him could be seen.

Could it be that he really turned them down?

However, Xia Yu felt that it was very strange. If he really didn't want to accept Xia Qingyun, why would he say those words to fool them?
