Chapter 786 I Seem to See the Past You in Him

"Someone who wants to come to Tianyin Pavilion to learn skills." Lin Ziqing said.

"Apprentice to learn skills from a teacher?"

"Yes, he said that he has been very interested in gathering information since he was a child, and hoped that Tianyin Pavilion would accept him. He came here two days ago and brought a generous gift for becoming a disciple."

"Look at you, do you refuse?"

"Yes." Lin Ziqing nodded.

"Why?" Jiang Suining asked curiously.

"Although he said he likes to get information and is very interested in Tianyin Pavilion, maybe he is just in a momentary whim. If we really accept him, we may get ourselves into trouble. Moreover, his identity is somewhat special."

Jiang Suining took another look at the young man. He was dressed in brocade and had a valuable jade pendant on his waist. Although he was arguing with someone at the moment, his demeanor showed that he was definitely not the son of an ordinary wealthy family.

"A family of officials?" Jiang Suining asked.

"The House of Dukes and Marquises."

"His identity is indeed unusual, but from what I know about you, you wouldn't reject someone just because of this, right?"

"Although he is from a family of dukes and marquises, his ancestors were from the royal family of the previous dynasty. They were the first to surrender when the country was destroyed, so he was conferred the title of marquis, and the title was passed down from generation to generation. But such an identity is special after all in the imperial city." Lin Ziqing lowered his voice slightly.

Jiang Suining thought about it carefully, "From Lord Chu's family?"

In this imperial city, there is only one marquisate family that was once the royal family of the previous dynasty.

"That's right, his name is Chu Yunsheng, the youngest son of Lord Chu. I have clearly rejected him when he came for the first time, but he comes again and again, and he seems to be determined to achieve his goal." Lin Ziqing shrugged helplessly and chuckled.

As they were talking, Chu Yunsheng, who was arguing with the waiter downstairs, saw Lin Ziqing standing at the stairs. His eyes lit up and he quickly went upstairs.

The guy couldn't stop him and could only watch him walk in front of Lin Ziqing.

"Master Lin, I sincerely want to join Tianyin Pavilion. You can ask for anything you want. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

"Mr. Chu, I've made it very clear that you are not suitable for Tianyin Pavilion. You don't have to come again. I won't agree." Lin Ziqing said firmly, and then said to Jiang Suining, "Let's go. I'll take you out."

Chu Yunsheng didn't want to give up, and when he saw Jiang Suining standing beside him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Are you the other owner of Tianyin Pavilion?"

Jiang Suining stopped and asked, "Why do you think so? Can't I be Pavilion Master Lin's guest?"

Lin Ziqing frowned and said, "This is a guest of our Tianyin Pavilion. Mr. Chu should not make trouble and affect the business of our Tianyin Pavilion."

Chu Yunsheng doubted his judgment for a moment, but soon became firm again.

"You two obviously look like friends, and I've done some research before. Tianyin Pavilion actually has another owner. Although she has never shown up, I can tell that she is a woman. I guess you two must have known each other for a long time."

Lin Ziqing frowned even more tightly, and looked at Chu Yunsheng with warning and vigilance in his eyes.

Realizing this, Chu Yunsheng quickly spoke up: "Master Lin, rest assured, I will never go out and say nonsense. I just want to join Tianyin Pavilion. I don't have any bad intentions."

"Why do you want to join Tianyin Pavilion so much? Is it just because you like to find out information?" The person who asked the question was Jiang Suining.

"I have indeed liked to find out all kinds of information since I was a child. It's not that I want to pry into people's privacy, but I like the process of finding out information and the satisfaction when I successfully find the information. Apart from this..."

Chu Yunsheng was silent for a moment, and then spoke frankly again.

"Also, although I was born in a marquisate, our Chu family has a special status and I will never be able to take the imperial examinations or become an official. I am not the eldest son in the family, so I don't need to support the family like my elder brothers. I don't want to live an idle life. I hope to be able to do what I like."

"Isn't it good to be a rich and idle person? Do you know how many people in this world want to live an idle life? Even these four words are the goals that many people strive for." Lin Ziqing said.

"It's up to other people what they think, but I just want to do what I like."

Chu Yunsheng spoke with a firm and stubborn tone, and bowed to Lin Ziqing.

"Master Lin, I have always thought that I am very talented in gathering information, but after I came into contact with Tianyin Pavilion, I found that gathering information also requires a lot of skills. I am really interested in this matter, and I hope you can accept me."

Lin Ziqing looked at Chu Yunsheng with a look of headache on his face.

"Are you really that persistent?"

"Yes."

"In that case, I will give you a test. If you can find out the information within two days and satisfy me, I will accept you. But if not... don't bother me again."

"It's a deal!" Chu Yunsheng immediately said happily.

"You just agreed to it so directly. Aren't you going to ask what the test questions are?" Jiang Suining asked curiously.

Chu Yunsheng was full of confidence, "I believe in my own ability, I will definitely be able to find it out."

Jiang Suining looked at Chu Yunsheng, then at Lin Ziqing.

I really want to tell the other person that you can believe in your own abilities, but you can't just trust Lin Ziqing.

However, she didn't say that out loud, she just smiled.

Lin Ziqing signaled Chu Yunsheng to wait in the pavilion, while he escorted Jiang Suining out of Tianyin Pavilion.

"I heard that there are some commissions in Tianyin Pavilion that are always difficult to obtain information about. Are you planning to pick one of them to test Chu Yunsheng?"

"It's no wonder that we have known each other for so many years. You still understand me best." Lin Ziqing said with a smile.

Since Chu Yunsheng kept pestering him, he might as well give him a hard time and make him give up completely. After all, he was afraid that if the other party came again and again, he would soften his heart and finally agree.

Jiang Suining stopped and looked back, and saw Chu Yunsheng, who was still standing in the pavilion with a happy look on his face.

That is the joy and anticipation unique to young people after seeing hope.

"Actually..." Jiang Suining said just two words and then stopped.

"Are you trying to persuade me to accept him?" Lin Ziqing also stopped and looked at Jiang Suining.

Jiang Suining shook his head. "No, his identity is indeed quite special. You are right not to accept him, but..."

Jiang Suining laughed and looked back at Lin Ziqing.

"I just feel like I see the old you in him."

"My old self?"

"That's right, you who knew your father didn't agree and even cut off all your monthly allowance, but still refused to give up and found ways to open Tianyin Pavilion."
