Qin Wenzheng was speechless. He knew this girl had never known what it meant to be at a disadvantage.
He was annoyed. “I’m your brother’s teacher.”
“Those are two different things. When you took Yunshu in as a student, didn’t you take a fancy to his learning talent?” Gu Yundong said. “Friendship is friendship, and business is business.”
The corners of Qin Wenzheng’s mouth twitched. He rubbed his temples and scolded Gu Yundong in his heart. However, he slowly calmed down. “Alright, tell me.”
Gu Yundong was satisfied. She pointed at Bian Yuanzhi, who was holding Gu Yunshu’s hand and chatting with others. “Take in my cousin too.”
Qin Wenzheng frowned and turned to look at the timid and inferior child. He thought for a moment and said, “It’s not impossible, but if he’s stupid and can’t keep up with his studies, then you can’t blame me. He cannot read like Yunshu, right?”
That was true. Yunshu had Gu Dajiang.
Although Eldest Aunt Gu had also learned a few words when she was young, she could not learn a lot in that environment. Moreover, she had forgotten most of it. After Bian Yuanzhi was born, Eldest Aunt Gu had probably only taught him less than ten words.
He did not have a foundation like Yunshu’s, but Gu Yundong still felt that she should send him to school.
Now that the conditions allowed it, reading and literacy were the most basic things for her.
“Just teach him, Master Qin. It’s not like I want him to take the High Scholar examination and return as an Honorable Scholar. Studying can make people wise. It’s better than knowing nothing.”
There was a rare hint of praise in Qin Wenzheng’s eyes when he looked at her. There were too few people in this world who had such thoughts.
For example, which of these little kids in front of him didn’t study for the imperial examination?
When it came to Gu Yundong, she really studied for the sake of studying.
“Alright, since we’ve made a deal, you can tell me about the problem with the painting, right?”
Madam Ge couldn’t stand it anymore and pulled him back. “Yundong has just returned to Fengkai County and hasn’t even come home yet, but you’re already asking her all sorts of questions. At least let her go home to see her family. We can talk about other things after resting.”
Only then did Qin Wenzheng react. He coughed lightly and said, “Alright, I don’t mind waiting two more days anyway. The competition here has ended. Take Yunshu home first.”
“Then we’ll leave.” Gu Yundong also wanted to go home, so she called out to Yunshu.
The latter immediately bade farewell to his friends and held Bian Yuanzhi’s hand.
From the beginning to the end, he had never let go of his hand. Their palms were sweaty.
However, Bian Yuanzhi was very happy. The uneasiness of meeting a friend he had not seen in a long time in a strange place seemed to have been soothed.
Shen Sitian, Cat and the rest were still in their original room. When Gu Yundong returned, he happened to see Liu Wei asking a few people about what he had seen and heard along the way. At the same time, he wanted to find out what gifts Gu Yundong and the rest had prepared for him.
Gu Yundong was speechless. Your brother is next door. Why don’t you go and comfort him? Are you his elder brother?
She ignored Liu Wei and introduced the others to Yunshu. Then, under his curious gaze, she asked Ah Mao to take a box from the carriage and handed it to Liu Wei. Then, she left him behind and the group returned to Yongfu Village happily.
Liu Wei held the gift box and didn’t care if they left or not. He sat in the private room and opened it happily..
