Chapter 187 – Waive Of The Fees
Lin Rui obviously didn't know that something like this was happening in the Xuan academy . He simply nodded honestly and answered Yuan Jinze with a polite smile " that's right , headmaster Yuan even though my results are not out yet I haven't given up all hope and even if I fail this time , I'm optimistic about my second chance "
Yuan Jinze examined the youth from head to toe with obvious interest , it was clear that he was really fascinated by Lin Rui – in one way or another . When he saw that the young man in front of him had a good temperament and character with eyes that shone with wisdom , he smiled " Not bad , Not bad at all – I like your spirit and attitude . Young man what's your name ?Given your optimism and character I would love to see you in my academy "
Lin Rui smiled widened and though his hands shook a little under his sleeves , he clenched them tightly and put on a brave smile " Headmaster Yuan , my name is Lin Rui . The Lin from ' Sun God ' and the Rui from ' auspicious ' "
The remaining customers who came to buy the remaining vegetables listened to their conversation and their hearts were filled with jealousy and envy . Who here didn't know about Headmaster Yuan ? This young man was really lucky that his brother and wife knew how to grow such green vegetables in winter and were able to get a one on one meeting with the famous Headmaster Yuan . And from Headmaster Yuan 's gaze it was clear as the sky that he was genuinely interested in this young man – even if this young man do not pass the exam on his own , they were certain that with Headmaster Yuan as his backer – he would definitely be recruited in the academy ! Ah ! Why couldn't they grow these green vegetables too ?
Headmaster Yuan beamed " good , what a good name . Lin Rui , You are a really interesting man " said Headmaster Yuan with an understanding smile as his gaze casually drifted down at Lin Rui 's crumpled up sleeves " remember to work hard , because as long as you work hard you will become a worthy official and your brother and wife will never be looked down upon or bullied again – you understand ?"
Headmaster Yuan was an old man who had seen hundreds of ups and downs- how could he not notice Lin Rui 's rising anxiety ? He didn't even need to bother looking at his clenched fists to know he was actually anxious about
talking with him , one look at Lin Rui 's face and he knew that the young man though wise suffered from anxiety . Though headmaster Yuan knew that anxiety couldn't be treated completely , it could be controlled and it would be a shame if he let such a wise disciple go because of this .
Lin Rui caught the understanding glimmer in Headmaster Yuan 's eyes and the turmoil in his heart rose a little . However , since Headmaster Yuan didn't say anything, he didn't dare to bring it up either . He tried to ease his worried creases on his forehead and said " This one understands, Headmaster Yuan – I will definitely work hard so that I can give my family a comfortable life"
Yuan Jinze looked away his gaze drifting to Su Wan who was still packing the vegetables and talking to the customers . In the past every time he met with his disciple 's family they would try to flatter him to the heavens – a single stay and he would be laden with so many gifts that Headmaster Yuan found the atmosphere a bit stifling – but Lin Rui 's family was different seeing that he was talking to Lin Rui , neither his wife nor his brother tried to suck up to him . Which clearly showed that the two of them were confident in Lin Rui 's abilities . He was pleasantly chuffed and stroked his beard in contentedness . He smiled and said " Its good that you have goals ! A young man like you should be aiming for something big , of course it goes without saying that the goal should be set within a person's abilities and realistic expectations . I don't know whether or not you will be selected in the academy this year or not but if you are – " headmaster Yuan took out the scented sachet that was tied around his waist and threw it at Lin Rui who caught it with apparent ease " remember to report exactly on the reporting date , and show this sachet to the person who usually takes care of fees submission . With this sachet alone the academy will waive some of your fees and expenditures. In addition, the academy often reward books, writing brushes, and inkstones to the students who receive excellent grades. I would like to say that I really like your honest character and determination , And would like to see you in the academy. Anyway , its getting late we should be going now and " pointing to the vegetables headmaster Yuan added " remember to send the vegetables with the correct amount to my house tomorrow "
" Of course , don't worry Headmaster Yuan . We will definitely deliver the vegetables you ordered tomorrow morning " seeing that headmaster Yuan was happy after chatting with Lin Rui , the stone that was pressing at Su Wan 's heart because of the long delay of Lin Rui 's results finally dropped .
Headmaster Yuan nodded then patted at his grandson's head before walking towards the classy yet magnificent carriage standing on the opposite side of the street . The carriage master who saw his masters returned nearly cried tears of joy ' why was he lucky to have these two troublesome master as his employer ? If they wanted to buy vegetables , they could have waited for him to return with their snacks . Why did they walked out of the carriage to buy vegetables on their own – if something happened to either of them today , then his eldest master would have fed him to hungry dogs !'
" Ah , Bai we can finally have some dumplings and stir fried vegetables ! Your grandfather have gotten bored to death because of the greasy meat … today we will have dumplings ! And tomorrow too , I wrote chives in the list and that young girl agreed with it . Can you believe it ? They are actually selling fresh chives in winter , this is what I call bliss " once Headmaster Yuan was inside his carriage once again , he dropped all pretences and happily chattered on . When he left his house this morning with the announcement that he will definitely bring green vegetables back because everyone in his family were incompetent , he didn't believe it himself that his efforts would be rewarded . The fact that he was able to get his hands on these greens , made him so happy that he couldn't control his glee anymore .
Hah ! Luckily he was able to buy these vegetables or else his old face would have been thrown away .
Yuan Bai ' you have a face to be thrown away ? Where ? Why can't he see it '
