Before Gu Yundong could regain his senses, she saw a figure rush in like a gust of wind. He ran to Madam Geâs side and squatted down to look at her feet.
Madam Ge pushed him anxiously. âDonât. Thereâs someone here. Iâm fine. Iâve already applied the medicine.â
Qin Wenzheng had indeed smelled the medicinal wine. Seeing that Madam Ge was not injured, he heaved a sigh of relief.
As soon as he returned, he heard from the gatekeeper that the students of the Headmaster of Dongyi Academy had come to cause trouble. He was extremely anxious and immediately ran in.
When he heard Madam Geâs words, he stood up and turned to look at Gu Yundong.
âI heard from Uncle Quan that you saved my wife. Thank you, Miss.â
âYouâre welcome.â Gu Yundong smiled. She had finally met the legendary Qin Wenzheng.
He was a little more refined than she had imagined. Judging from how nervous he was about his wife just now, he should be someone who valued relationships.
Qin Wenzheng thought quickly. Not only did Uncle Quan, the gatekeeper, say that Dongyi Academy had come to cause trouble, but he also said that Madam had sprained her ankle. He also said that the girl who helped them was dressed as a servant of the Liu family to send Liu Yi to school.
Coupled with what happened in the Liu family, he quickly thought of Gu Yundongâs identity.
Therefore, after Qin Wenzheng sat down, he asked, âMiss Gu, are you from Yongfu Village and know the eldest young master of the Liu family?â
âYes.â Gu Yundong nodded.
Qin Wenzheng tapped his fingers on the table. âThen, is there something you need from me today?â After a pause, he added, âYou saved my wife. As long as I can help, I wonât refuse.â
She had deliberately disguised herself as a servant to come to the door and knew the eldest young master of the Liu family. She must have known his identity.
Gu Yundongâs expression turned serious. âSince Master Qin has said so, I wonât stand on ceremony. I have a five-year-old brother whoâs really adorable, understanding, and righteous. Heâs sensible, lively, cheerful, and smartâ¦â
âMiss, I know that your brother is a very, very good child. You can just get to the point.â Qin Wenzheng was slightly sweating. He had never seen anyone praise their child so much. Shouldnât she be a little humble?
âOh.â Gu Yundong coughed lightly. âItâs like this. I hope Master Qin can take my brother Yunshu as a student and teach him how to read and write.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThatâs it?â
Gu Yundong nodded seriously. âI heard from Young Master Liu that Teacher Qin is knowledgeable. I saw that the Liu family sent their children here to school. I think Teacher Qin must be good.â
Qin Wenzheng took a sip of tea. Well, at least Liu Wei had some knowledge.
âIâve always taken in students based on their aptitude and character. If they catch my eye, no matter if theyâre rich or poor, theyâll still be my students. I havenât seen your brother yet. Miss, why donât you bring him over to take a look?â
Gu Yundong smiled. âNo exceptions?â Didnât the Liu family send Liu Yi here because of favors? Although she trusted her brotherâs qualifications and character.
Madam Ge reached out and nudged Qin Wenzheng.
The corners of Qin Wenzhengâs mouth twitched, and he coughed lightly. âThatâs true. Miss helped my family a lot today, so I can naturally relax my requirements.â
As for how relaxed⦠Sigh, who asked him to love his wife?
That was a five-year-old child. Whether he was stupid or had a bad character, he could more or less turn things around if he put in more effort.
Gu Yundong was relieved to hear that. âApart from that, I have something else to discuss with Master Qin..â
