Before Gu Yundong could regain his senses, she saw a figure rush in like a gust of wind. He ran to Madam Ge’s side and squatted down to look at her feet.
Madam Ge pushed him anxiously. “Don’t. There’s someone here. I’m fine. I’ve already applied the medicine.”
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 Ge’s words, he stood up and turned to look at Gu Yundong.
“I heard from Uncle Quan that you saved my wife. Thank you, Miss.”
“You’re welcome.” 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 Yundong’s identity.
Therefore, after Qin Wenzheng sat down, he asked, “Miss Gu, are you from Yongfu Village and know the eldest young master of the Liu family?”
“Yes.” Gu Yundong nodded.
Qin Wenzheng tapped his fingers on the table. “Then, is there something you need from me today?” After a pause, he added, “You saved my wife. As long as I can help, I won’t refuse.”
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 Yundong’s expression turned serious. “Since Master Qin has said so, I won’t stand on ceremony. I have a five-year-old brother who’s really adorable, understanding, and righteous. He’s sensible, lively, cheerful, and smart…”
“Miss, I know that your brother is a very, very good child. You can just get to the point.” Qin Wenzheng was slightly sweating. He had never seen anyone praise their child so much. Shouldn’t she be a little humble?
“Oh.” Gu Yundong coughed lightly. “It’s . I hope Master Qin can take my brother Yunshu as a student and teach him how to read and write.”
Gu Yundong nodded seriously. “I 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.”
Qin Wenzheng took a sip of tea. Well, at least Liu Wei had some knowledge.
“I’ve always taken in students based on their aptitude and character. If they catch my eye, no matter if they’re rich or poor, they’ll still be my students. I haven’t seen your brother yet. Miss, why don’t you bring him over to take a look?”
Gu Yundong smiled. “No exceptions?” Didn’t the Liu family send Liu Yi here because of favors? Although she trusted her brother’s qualifications and character.
Madam Ge reached out and nudged Qin Wenzheng.
The corners of Qin Wenzheng’s mouth twitched, and he coughed lightly. “That’s true. Miss helped my family a lot today, so I can naturally relax my requirements.”
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. “Apart from that, I have something else to discuss with Master Qin..”
