Ye Qingzhi was sipping her porridge in small mouthfuls, her little face showing no other expressions. Only then did Lin Songhan express his gratitude to Ye Jiu and sit down.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Ye Jiu suddenly thought that giving Lin Songhan to Ye Qingzhi as a childhood companion might actually be quite a good idea.
Lin Songhan had been with the Ye Family for a few years, at least his character was reliable. And this way, it would avoid Ye Qingzhi being married off and suffering grievances in someone else's family in the future.
Most importantly, this girl, he didn't know if it was her nature from childhood, although she had changed from her previous timid ways, she still didn't like to talk when facing others.
Especially after arriving in the capital city, she didn't have friends generally, but she would come to find Ye Jiu from time to time.
After Lin Songhan was seated, Ye Jiu spoke, "Songhan seems to be about the same age as Qingzhi, have you started studying? I'll talk to my fourth brother one day, so he can arrange for you to learn some characters and study some books, so you can help my fourth brother in the future."
Already having a plan in mind, whether this matter succeeded or not in the future, Ye Jiu did not want to see a child waste his life .
Just like she said, even if there was no fate between him and Qingzhi in the future, learning more words and helping Ye Gaosheng with things in the future would be beneficial for his own prospects.
Unexpectedly, Lin Songhan replied in a proper manner, "Though I haven't formally attended school, I have learned some characters with the steward in the mansion, and have also consulted with Master Thirteen beside the elderly madam and sir, who is teaching me martial arts."
Thirteen was chosen by Sikong Mo from those people for them; since entering the capital city three years ago, he was arranged by Ye Jiu to protect the elderly couple of the Ye Family.
Thirteen's martial prowess was not the best, but he had a sharp tongue and could make people happy, which is why she chose him. Read full story at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
After listening to Lin Songhan, Ye Jiu raised an eyebrow; this Lin Songhan, so young and once coming from a group of beggars, having such determination was indeed not easy, and he was ambitious and calculated.
Originally, Ye Jiu thought he and Qingzhi matched well, but now it seemed, it required thorough consideration.
An ambitious person is most likely to succeed, but at the same time, their heart is the hardest. Ye Qingzhi didn't have a good time during her childhood, and Ye Jiu always felt, she wouldn't demand wealth and honor, but she must live happily and have someone to care for her, to make up for the love she missed in her childhood.
"Wanting to study is a good thing, I'll talk to my fourth brother someday to arrange for a private school for you. As for learning martial arts, Thirteen has quite a good skill, since he's willing to teach you, learn well from him, as having more skills won't be troublesome, and they'll come in handy in the future."
Lin Songhan did not refuse Ye Jiu's kindness; instead, his mouth couldn't help showing a smile, "Then I thank the Commandery Princess."
Ye Jiu was slightly taken aback; back when he was thin and small, one couldn't notice it, but with the years of growth, unknowingly, Lin Songhan's face had become so outstanding.
After finishing breakfast, Ye Jiu, with Ye Qingzhi and Lin Songhan, followed by Ying Chun and Liang Xia, was ready to go out.
At the doorway, they happened to meet Qin Zhou, who was holding a newly acquired cricket, ready to go out and have a big battle.
Seeing Ye Jiu, Qin Zhou's somewhat plump and rounded body, carrying a bit of affluence, immediately walked over to Ye Jiu, "Big sister, are you going out too?"
