"Miss, Miss. Young Master fenger has returned with Mister Zong." Cui Er hurriedly ran in to report the news. Looking at the clan elders by the side, Cui Er was actually not afraid in the slightest. After taking a look, she then followed Ji Zhen to welcome Zhan Chuan.

After all, this Zhan Chuan was once a teacher to the imperial family. If they dared to claim that they were Zhan Chuan's elders, then wouldn't that mean that they were looking down on the emperor? If this ginseng were to be used, the entire Pingbei Mansion would be buried along with them.

When they thought about it, these old fellows would just leave the room, and those with faster limbs would have already ran out, thinking that if they could show their faces in front of Mr. Zong, it would be easier for them to talk about taking him as their master later. As for the older ones, if their legs weren't good enough, they could have their own grandsons follow Ji Zhen out.

"Mister, you've worked hard on this journey. The banquet has already been prepared. Please come over here." Ji Zhen brought Zhan Chuan and walked towards the western courtyard, talking about the construction of the Pingbei Mansion with him all the way. Ji Feng, who was by the side, would occasionally say a few words.

Zhan Chuan knew clearly in his heart, for a woman like Ji Zhen, if she married someone, it would be a huge boost to her. Furthermore, her own disciple had once come looking for him a few days ago, and he was even a junior brother to Ji Feng.

"Sir, do you have any doubts?" Ji Zhen felt Zhan Chuan's strange gaze and turned to ask.

"No, no. I was just thinking, since your aunt was sent to the Yiyun Institute, why didn't your father send you there?" When Zhan Chuan entered, he heard that the Ji Family had returned to his residence. Normally, as the Hou Mansion, no matter what, Ji Zhen would be well versed in zither, chess and painting, and should be sent to the Academy to train or perhaps had a female teacher teach him at home.

"Back then, when stepgrandmother felt that I was too young and that it was not suitable for me to leave home alone, she did not agree." Ji Zhen didn't really care about this matter, but instead wanted to thank the Old Liu. If she hadn't insisted on staying, nothing would have happened afterwards.

"Then did you invite a female teacher to teach at your residence?" The thing that Zhan Chuan was most curious about was that if no one taught him, then where did Ji Zhen learn that from?

"I haven't. I've just loved to read since I was young. I've already read nearly every single book in this mansion, so it's natural for me to know more." Ji Zhen knew that Zhan Chuan was starting to suspect him, but this knowledge, the best thing to hide was this book.

Zhan Chuan thought about it, and that was true, there were a lot more books in Hou Mansion than ordinary people, if Ji Zhen had a quiet personality, then she would be able to read more books, and it would be natural for him to understand more, Zhan Chuan smiled and nodded at Ji Zhen: "Looks like you can teach fenger a lot of the thoughts you have."

Zhan Chuan insisted, but Ji Zhen did not refute him, he just smiled.

When they arrived at the entrance of the western courtyard, a group of people stood forward to welcome Zhan Chuan.

Zhan Chuan didn't mind, but upon seeing Ji Wen he respectfully bowed, "Greetings, Old General Ji."

Ji Wen was previously listed as a National Guardian General, but what was funny, Ji Wen's Madame was a superior Madame, according to the etiquette system, the Ji Qin was a stage higher than Ji Wen, "What General, today you took him as your disciple, and you are my Ji Mansion's Sir, so it is for the honor of my school."

Zhan Chuan naturally would not accept Ji Wen's courtesy, so the two of them went back to their seats after being polite for a while. Waiting until everyone had settled down, Ji Quan stood up, raised his wine cup and shouted loudly: "Today is the day that Mr. Jan is accepting me as his disciple, let me toast Sir, Fongo is young, if you have offended me in any way, please forgive me."

"What are you saying, marquis? She's smart and obedient, she's naturally a good seedling in my legacy." Zhan Chuan laughed as he patted Ji Feng's head, and then raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Fongo, come over here and give your master some tea." Ji Zhen handed over a cup of tea to Ji Feng. After drinking the tea, Ji Feng could finally be considered to have become Zhan Chuan's disciple, and if Zhan Chuan was not willing to drink the tea, then he would have a grudge against him.

"Alright!" Zhan Chuan took the teacup and took a sip, then helped Ji Feng up, "In the future when you join my sect, you will have to spend all your time training, do you remember?"

"Disciple naturally remembers." Ji Feng supported Zhan Chuan as he sat on the seat, and at this time, the thoughts of the other people at the table started to surge, as they all wanted their own grandson to become Zhan Chuan's disciple, even if it was to become a good student.

The relationship between Ji Feng and Zhan Chuan was between teacher and disciple, and this student was like a teacher in the academy lecturing and accepting students, they could all be called students, and there were even examinations for which examinees were all the students of the main examiner at that time, the difference between the two was huge.

"Sir, look at my Mo'er. He is so smart, and will definitely become a pillar of our country in the future." Old Liu brought Ji Mo and squeezed to Zhan Chuan's side, and even extended his hand, pushing Ji Mo right in front of Zhan Chuan.

Zhan Chuan disliked the brat in front of him from the very first moment. His hostility was too strong, and his eyes were filled with hatred and disdain towards Ji Zhen.

"He's not suitable." Zhan Chuan's four words instantly broke Old Liu's mask that he had been wearing for the most part of the day. She had worked hard for most of the time, and he did not even stir up a fuss over the matter of Ji Xue returning to her residence today. It was just to leave a good impression on Zhan Chuan, so that he could accept her.

But Old Liu was not discouraged, she looked at Zhan Chuan fawningly, "Sir, please look again, how could my Mo'er not be suitable? Look at his head, the masters of State Protecting Temple have always said that he is intelligent. "

Ji Mo was already dissatisfied in his heart, as he muttered to himself: "Isn't it just a bad old man? If he doesn't take me in, I won't take him as my master!"

Hearing Ji Mo's words, the clan members by the side noticed that Zhan Chuan's expression changed, and angrily said, "Since Mister said it's not suitable, then it's not suitable, so there's no need to pester him anymore!"

They were only worried that if they angered Zhan Chuan, they would not accept anyone. Originally, Ji Quan thought that it would be good if Zhan Chuan could keep him, but since this mister was unwilling, he could not force others to accept him.

Receiving Ji Quan's orders, the Senior Servant at the side brought Old Liu back to the West Garden, and all the clan members swarmed over and started talking at once.
