Even though it was just a polite greeting, Jiang Pengji had said that she would visit Wei Yuan's house the next day to apologize.
However, Wei Yuan still held a grudge against her, but he couldn't make it too obvious.
As a result, Wei Yuan's expression remained cold and stiff. Even though he tried his best to soften his attitude and make himself appear less stiff, it was the opposite of what he wanted. Jiang Pengji took in all of his emotions.
"Is your cold getting better?" Jiang Pengji asked with concern. "You look a little pale."
"I'm fine. I've already taken some medicine. I'll be fully recovered in two days."
Wei Yuan stroked his beard awkwardly. He didn't have a cold, he just got sick from anger.
Wei Yuan had his own interpretation of Jiang Pengji's visit that day because he had a different way of thinking.
In order to invite Wei Yuan to be a teacher and teach Liu Xi one-on-one, the Liu Residence had paid a generous sum of money.
Not only did he pay for his studies, but he also received a considerable sum of money every month. During festivals, he would even give generous gifts and show concern for his well-being every few days.
In the whole of Hejian County, the Liu's had been giving him the best treatment.
However, Wei Yuan had been taking a few days off recently. Even though there was a reason for it – something had happened in his family – it was a fact that his studies had been delayed. Wei Yuan felt that the student's visit was probably to urge him to go back to class as soon as possible.
Wei Yuan felt an indescribable discomfort when he thought about it. He felt a little embarrassed.
The student in front of him had seen his scandal. Even though they both had a tacit understanding and didn't bring it up, Wei Yuan was not easily fooled. How could he not know that Jiang Pengji already knew about it?
Under such circumstances, he felt uncomfortable teaching the student again. He had to face the student's face every day.
If it was in the past, Liu Xi would have scolded him in a righteous and confident manner. But now?
He tried to imagine the situation in his mind, and a scene appeared in his mind. It made him even more uncomfortable.
He simply could not tolerate that kind of situation!
On one hand, the student seemed to be bowing respectfully to him, but in reality, there was no sincerity in it. On the other hand, the student was staring at him with a pair of eyes that seemed to see through everything. That feeling … It was as if all the clothes on his body had been stripped off and thrown in public.
Wei Yuan knew that he was overthinking things, but he couldn't control his imagination.
This student knew about the shameful scandal that he had tried so hard to bury. This made him, as a teacher, unable to straighten his back.
They weren't even in school yet, but he already felt a sense of embarrassment and stage fright.
Thinking of this, Wei Yuan's mood became even more complicated.
Jiang Pengji acted as if she didn't see Wei Yuan's expression. She pushed the gifts that she had prepared beside her forward and said, "Master has been feeling unwell recently, but I haven't been able to visit you personally. I have let you down. If you don't mind, please accept this student's gift. "
Wei Yuan didn't want to accept it, but he seemed to think of something and changed his mind. He had the maidservant accept the gift.
"From what you said yesterday, is Zhongqing back?"
Jiang Pengji nodded. "My father has been back from Hu County for more than half a month, but he's still resting at home due to the long journey. He hasn't gone out to make friends or visit anyone. My father has always admired your talent and knowledge. If you wish to visit, I can pass on your message. "
Wei Yuan shook his head. The "Liu Xi" at that moment was the same as before. There was no trace of the intimidating aura from before.
"Since Zhongqing is still resting, I won't disturb him." Wei Yuan chuckled and teased, "As for your words of admiration, there's quite a bit of falsehood in them. Who doesn't know that Liu Zhongqing is famous for being knowledgeable in Hejian County? "
"You're being modest. My father and you specialize in different fields. How can we compare? My father is the governor of Hu County, and he works for the people. You, on the other hand, live in seclusion at home and concentrate on your studies. When it comes to being an official, of course you can't compare to my father. But when it comes to learning, I'm afraid my father can't compare to you. "Jiang Pengji answered with a smile. It seemed like she was telling the truth, but there was a hint of praise in her voice.
Although Wei Yuan didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that his dull student had become more talkative after going through the ordeal.
If it was in the past, he would have told the truth and offended him, which would have made him unhappy.
Although Wei Yuan was an old-fashioned and strict scholar, deep down, he still liked to listen to flattery.
But even though it was pleasing to hear, he couldn't continue with the speech he had prepared after Jiang Pengji's tactful reply.
Originally, he had wanted to temporarily resign from his position as the teacher of the Liu manor because of his illness and lack of energy. He wanted Liu She to teach him personally for a few months.
He had even thought of a reason. Liu She and his beloved son had been separated for so many years. The father and son needed time and space to communicate.
But now, if he continued to say that, it would seem like he was being unreasonable and purposely wanted to give up on his student.
Wei Yuan felt a little conflicted.
Jiang Pengji looked at him coldly. The audience in the streaming room was getting impatient. What was so interesting about watching two "ancient people" exchange pleasantries?
Xinruo Bingqing: "This is so depressing. When can you stop looking at him?
Although Wei Yuan's looks were decent for his uncle's generation, he wasn't a peerlessly handsome uncle. He couldn't even lick the screen. "
Jiang Pengji laughed at the complaints of the readers.
Host V: "Are you bored? Why do I feel like Mr. Wei Yuan's psychological activities are super interesting? "
Countless ellipses appeared in the streaming room.
Everyone: "…"
Host, we're not well-educated. Don't make fun of us!
Their eyes were sore from staring, but they still couldn't see any changes in Wei Yuan's expression, let alone analyze his thoughts.
Between a teacher and a student, the most important thing was to test them. Wei Yuan was no exception.
He knew Liu Xi's progress in his studies and his talent in this area. His questions were simple and easy to understand.
After a long time, Wei Yuan stroked his beard and sighed. "Very good. You haven't fallen behind in your studies."
"You've taught me well."
Wei Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It should be your father who taught you well."
He wasn't being polite. He was speaking the truth.
In the past, no matter how much he tried to teach him, Liu Xi was like a block of wood. He wouldn't ask what he didn't understand, and when he understood, he wouldn't say anything. He would keep everything bottled up in his stomach. Wei Yuan could only watch anxiously from the sidelines, but the child still looked confused.
