"Miss Hu, are you dissatisfied with my grandfather's decision?"

"I am not …"

"Since that's not the case, this is something that my grandfather has decided on. Does my grandfather still need to explain anything to you?"

Fang Wanxin's clear voice was neither servile nor overbearing. She took a few steps forward and was quite intimidating. Earlier, that little sister Hu was still firm in her attitude, but now, she was at a loss for words.

"Wan Xin …"

"Mother, your daughter knows that this attitude isn't appropriate, but what they question is your grandfather's decision, and what they question is the Fang family's academic judgment. Your daughter will not be able to bear it."

If the Fang family didn't have the Old Master, how would they have their current status in the kingdom?

Lady Fang's heart skipped a beat as she lightly sucked in a breath. She smiled apologetically in the direction of Yao Fengyu and said, "Wan Xin is right. After all, the Old Master chose his own student. The poem he likes is the best."

Yao Fengyu's expression immediately turned ugly. The reason she came to the Fang family was because she was here for the students.

Yao Fengyu was extremely happy to be engaged to Bai Lingtian!

She knew how outstanding Bai Lingtian was, and she also knew that many of the ladies in the capital were yearning for the position of the second young mistress of the Bai family.

In order to be more worthy of Bai Lingtian, she did not hesitate to ask her father to do a good job with the Fang family, in order to obtain the title of the Fang family's daughter.

But now! Everything had been destroyed by Gu Hua Jing!

How could she, a person who had been abandoned by her husband's family, have the nerve to appear at such an occasion? How could she be worthy of being chosen as the Fang family's old patriarch's disciple?!

There must be something else going on. Right, just like how Gu Hua Jing was able to marry into the Bai Family. She must have used some method to do so!

Yao Fengyu was infuriated as she clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves. However, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Lady Fang's words are extremely true. When Miss Gu was able to marry into the Bai Clan despite all the difficulties she faced, there must have been something extraordinary about her."

Finishing her words, Yao Fengyu nodded in Gu Hua Jing's direction, "Today, I'm the one who is weaker, I admit defeat."

The way Yao Fengyu acted had already caused a great connection to form in the bottom of their hearts.

That's right, Gu Hua Jing must have used some tricks. Previously it was Bai Lingtian, and now it's Yao Feng Yu. This Gu Hua Jing really doesn't know the meaning of the word. Did she really forget herself just because she was a daughter of the Gu family?

The look that landed on Gu Hua Jing's body became more and more strange and disdainful. Gu Hua Jing's beautiful almond-shaped eyes lightly narrowed.

She didn't mind saying that it was her, but Yao Fengyu's words were obviously meant to drag the Gu family down with her.

She ignored Yao Fengyu's greeting and turned to ask Mrs Fang.

"Madam, I heard that the Fang family's old patriarch is the most righteous of them all. He even dares to speak out and admonish His Majesty. Is this true?"

"The Old Master's temperament is like this, Miss Gu need not worry."

Lady Fang replied with a smile.

Gu Hua Jing also laughed, "I'm not worried, but there are people who think that with the Fang family's old patriarch's straightforward and loyal personality, he'll be swayed and biased. If this gets out, the Fang family's old patriarch's reputation will be very bad."

Madam Fang's expression stiffened, immediately becoming unsightly.

"The Fang family's old patriarch has lived a life of peace and prosperity, yet was secretly judged by a petty person. Truly pitiful."

After Gu Hua Jing finished speaking, she stood up straight and bowed slowly. Then, she followed Xiu Zhu out of the room.

Behind her, Yao Fengyu's face alternated between green and white. She felt that Lady Fang was looking at her with displeasure, and couldn't help but feel regret in her heart.

He couldn't control himself just now, so he insinuated himself to Gu Hua Jing, reminding her of her previous scheme.

However, she did not want to discredit Old Master Fang's character!

She didn't dare to either.

However, Lady Fang came back to her senses at this moment. Didn't Yao Fengyu mean that the old gramps was like Bai Lingtian and had been restricted by Gu Hua Jing?

What a joke! How could his grandfather possibly be restricted by the methods of an outsider?

Even Lady Fang, who had wanted to praise Yao Fengyu many times before, no longer had the heart to do so.

It was fine to lift him up, but he would have to pay the price of his grandfather's reputation. As for who was more important, Madam Fang did not even need to compare anymore.

Yao Fengyu looked at Lady Fang's cold eyes and felt endless regret in her heart. Her hatred of Gu Huanjing was even greater!

Gu Hua Jing followed Xiu Zhu and left Qing Fang. They headed towards the Fang family's old patriarch's Pure Bamboo Pavilion.

On the way here, Gu Hua Jing also regretted it.

She didn't want to be anyone's student. Learning was something that she had experienced enough in her previous life. She really didn't want to start over from the beginning …

With a deep sigh, Gu Hua Jing ruthlessly looked down on her miser nature. If it wasn't for the fact that she opened her eyes to money, how could things have turned out like this? She was actually here to see a beauty today …

"We're here, Fourth Miss Gu. My family's old man is inside."

Xiu Zhu respectfully left while Gu Hua Jing stood alone at the entrance of the Pure Bamboo Pavilion.

Previously, at the place of Qing Fang Xie, Gu Hua Jing had heard many rumors about this Old Master Fang. Even when Fang Wan Xin mentioned this Old Master Fang, she had a face full of fear.

The Fang family's old patriarch was known for his strict and upright character. He was a strict and strict person. Even when facing his own granddaughter, Fang Wanxin, he would never pretend to be honest with her.

Gu Hua Jing didn't want to come into contact with such a person. Since she was her elder, she would die from depression …

"Why aren't you coming in?"

A voice filled with vigor came from the Pure Bamboo Pavilion. Gu Hua Jing sighed and slowly walked inside as if she was going to die.

Simple bamboo and simple bamboo and simple Xuan, that was simple enough.

Apart from the green bamboo, there was no other decorations inside. It was so plain that it caused one's hair to stand on end.

Gu Hua Jing walked a few steps and saw a bamboo house. The three sides were empty, with only a few white curtains hanging on it. It was casually swaying in the wind.

An old man was seated on one of the prayer mats. He was dressed in a simple and unadorned robe, and his hair was snow-white.

Gu Hua Jing immediately felt that once her third brother Gu Hua Ran grew old, he would become more or less like this.

"Junior Gu Hua Jing greets the old man."

Gu Hua Jing respectfully bowed. Even after a long time, the Old Master still hadn't allowed her to get up.

The Fang family's old patriarch's eyes fell on Gu Hua Jing's body. Was that poem just now made by that girl?

He had originally thought that Li Jun would have such a sincere and euphemistic attitude, but she should have a plain appearance. He hadn't thought that she would be such a beautiful girl. How could she be separated from him?

"No need to be so polite."

Only then did Gu Hua Jing stand up straight, and carefully examine the Old Master, sighing in her heart.

It was indeed as the rumors said. It was quite solemn …

"Was that spring thought made by you?"

Gu Hua Jing felt a little awkward inside. It would be a wonder if she could do it, but her expression was very indifferent. "I've let the Old Master down."

"What's there to laugh about? "Good is good. Are you willing to be my disciple?"

"Is there still a choice?"

Hearing this, Old Master Fang glared at her. "I've never done anything to force others. If you're willing, then from now on, come to my residence every five days. Although I'm not good at teaching girls, I still know a bit about ordinary talents."

When Gu Hua Jing heard this, she already understood in her heart that the Old Master Fang wasn't actually willing to teach the female students, but it was because of the previous bet …

Didn't they say that the Old Master Fang was an old-fashioned person? Why would such a person make a bet?

Gu Hua Jing's heart thumped, and she immediately put on a humble appearance.

"Old Master, to be honest, I came to the poetry gathering because I accepted Miss Fang Wanxin's invitation. With my current situation, I shouldn't have entered the manor so often. I thank the Old Master for his green eyes. As for the disciples …"

Gu Hua Jing spoke with great difficulty, trying her best to show an appearance of pity, but she couldn't help but gently decline the offer with a sorrowful expression.

Although Gu Hua Jing had a perfect score on her expression and displayed her talent in acting, but who was this old man of the Fang family?

He was already this old. What kind of people had he not seen before? What kind of demons, ghosts, snakes, and gods had not been dealt with before?

The Old Master immediately saw through Gu Huanjing's unwillingness and raised his eyebrows.

It wasn't easy for him to recruit a female disciple, and he wasn't unhappy at that, but this little girl was actually unwilling? How many people were lining up outside!

"You're a student of Fang Hongwen, who dares to be so talkative?"

"…" Isn't it still possible? Gu Hua Jing couldn't help but retort. She hadn't agreed yet.

"Old Master …"

"Just tell me if you are willing or not."

"…" Gu Hua Jing was on the verge of vomiting blood. Her meaning was clear; she didn't want to do it. The old man was clearly unhappy as well.

Could it be that he could only have the honored tutor reject him once he agreed?

How was this strict and old-fashioned? Was it appropriate to be so arrogant and pampered?

After guessing the old man's thoughts, Gu Hua Jing let out a sigh of relief, "Junior was naturally willing to do ten thousand things. Being able to receive the old man's teachings was a blessing junior gained!"

After she finished speaking, Gu Hua Jing held her breath, waiting for the Old Master to refuse. She had already thought of all the regretful words that came out of her mouth!

He didn't think that Gu Hua Jing would change her tone so quickly. Old Master Fang was stunned for a moment, but after a moment of thought, he understood what she was thinking.

This girl really didn't want to!

The old man was instantly angered. Why wouldn't she be willing? He was still thinking of a way to reject her offer, and yet she had already taken his attitude into consideration?

The Fang family's old patriarch had never seen anything like this before, and felt that he was being rejected.

He had been respected all his life. When had he ever been treated like this?

Thus, the Fang family's old patriarch steeled his heart. He didn't want to go along with Gu Hua Jing's words. He stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, "En, since that's the case, then let's do it this way."

"Hmm?"

Gu Hua Jing couldn't help but exclaim as she raised her head in astonishment.

What do you mean, just like that? That's not right, shouldn't the script be like this? He had already put down a ladder, why didn't the old man go down?

"Hmm what?" Are you not willing? "

"Willing, willing …"

Gu Hua Jing was blown around by the Fang family's old patriarch. She subconsciously responded, wishing she could bite her tongue after she finished her sentence.
