The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Chapter 205 What's wrong, are you jealous?
Madam Zhao strode closer: "Are you still in good health?"

Master Sun squinted at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and his whole demeanor softened.

"Good, everything is fine, thanks to your concern."

He had visited the Zhao family before. He and his wife had helped organize the wedding of the Zhao couple years ago.

So much time has passed, but it seems like not much has changed here.

“I heard from Ren Qi that you two have a child. Good, it shows that you two are blessed by God.”

The Ren Qi he mentioned is none other than Master Zhao.

Master Sun had no children because his first wife was in poor health.

But Zhao Niangzi's health was fine. When she was young, she was infertile for a long time, and she took a lot of medicine and various folk remedies, but her belly did not grow at all.

Very anxious.

Day after day, year after year.

Under Master Zhao's persuasion, she gave up completely.

But then, something happened.

To be honest, I've never met Master Sun before.

"Nannan, come here quickly."

Zhao Niangzi called out into the house.

Soon, a little girl wearing a bright red cotton coat and with pigtails poked her head out of the house.

With her big, blinking eyes, her chubby little body emerged. Dressed in many layers, she walked over somewhat clumsily, swaying unsteadily.

The little girl isn't afraid of strangers.

She stood still in front of Master Sun.

Master Zhao: "Nannan, quickly call your master."

The little girl said sweetly, "Master."

Master Sun nodded in satisfaction: "Have you read any books?"

The Three Character Classic.

Although I can only memorize two sentences.

"Ren Qi."

Master Zhao: "Yes."

“Take the books out of my bundle.”

"Yes."

The book is very thick.

Master Sun took it, bent down, and handed it to Nannan.

"This is a gift from your master. Your master doesn't have anything particularly valuable. This book was written by me personally, and it took me two years to complete. Even if your father wanted it, I wouldn't give it to him."

Master Zhao: ? ? ?

When his mentor was tidying up, he glanced at it and immediately fell in love with it.

These are all the best parts!

Even students preparing for the imperial examinations at the academy will find it very beneficial!

Then... his mentor wouldn't let him touch it.

"This is too much, it's far too valuable."

Master Sun's face hardened: "What's given is given. Even if she doesn't understand it now, just leave it to collect dust. She'll understand it when she grows up."

He paused, as if he had thought of something. He then gave Nannan some instructions.

"It must not be torn up."

The little girl's face was all wrinkled.

She doesn't want it.

Books aren't exactly good things.

Even Yu Tingwan's delicate face next door was wrinkled.

Wei Zhao chuckled: "Aren't you going to take a look?"

Yu Tingwan: "You might not believe it, but I'm afraid he'll come after me and question me right now."

"What are you questioning?"

Yu Tingwan said expressionlessly, "Copying is one thing, copying the last place is another, at least you were willing to put pen to paper to appease me! But explain yourself! How could you not even think before copying someone else's name? Is your name Wang Zhousheng?!"

She said quietly, "Look at him."

"He's gotten so old, and he doesn't teach anymore. Even a few candies would have been a nice gift, but he gave me a book!"

"His daughter is so young, she can't even write her own name, and he still gives her away like that. If he knew that I, the most unruly one, was next door, do you think he would have let me off so easily?"

After listening to so much of her talk, Wei Zhao grasped the key point and asked in a calm voice, "Who is Wang Zhousheng?"

Yu Tingwan: "That's not important."

"It's not important, you've remembered it until now."

Yu Tingwan: ? ? ?

The girl realized what was happening.

A smile spread across her face: "What's wrong? Jealous?"

Wei Zhao stared at her intently, waiting for a reply.

Yu Tingwan is the best at climbing up the pole.

Take a look!

This man is getting anxious!

It's good that you're anxious; it means you care about her.

Yu Tingwan: "Just one classmate."

"As you know, in a small county like Ze County, very few families are willing to send their daughters to school. Of the dozen or so students back then, I was the only girl."

Yu Tingwan said, "Those people are more willing to give in to me." After saying that, she narrowed her eyes.

"What about you?"

Have you ever had someone copy your work before?

Wei Zhao said sarcastically, "But they do know how to turn the tables."

He was from the Wei family and was among the top students in his studies at the Imperial Academy.

There are many rules and regulations in the capital, not to mention the imperial palace.

Even though young ladies and gentlemen entered the Imperial Academy, they were taught separately.

but……

Xiao Huaiyan wanted to copy his work and begged him for a long time.

"Have."

I turned and informed the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy.

Wei Zhao said sarcastically, "After all, I'm not like your classmate, who's a casual person."

Yu Tingwan: ...

On the fourth day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared, a rare sunny day. Yu Tingwan took out the quilts from home to air them out when she heard a knock on the door.

Hui Niang ran to open the door.

Yu Tingwan had a strange, bad feeling.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, she saw Master Zhao and Master Sun, whom he was supporting.

Master Zhao smiled and asked, "Is Brother Wei home right now?"

He told Wei Shen about his talent and his mentor. He sighed, saying that if Wei Shen hadn't been ill, he would probably have passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi if he had studied hard.

Master Zhao rarely praised others excessively.

He is also not one to exaggerate.

He was referring to a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations).

Upon hearing this, my mentor could no longer sit still and couldn't wait to come and visit me.

Hui Niang subconsciously rubbed her hands together and said, "Yes."

She only talks a lot in front of her own family, let alone the two men in front of her who are highly respected teachers in Ze County, so she inevitably feels awkward.

She looked at Yu Tingwan.

My daughter-in-law is always very generous and poised; let her entertain us.

But she noticed that Yu Tingwan seemed even more uneasy than she was.

Master Zhao: "Is it convenient for you to come in? I may not have seen Brother Wei for a while. Please bring your teacher over for a visit."

Yu Tingwan put her hands behind her back and said, "It's convenient, please come in, both of you."

Master Zhao then introduced to Master Sun: "That is Brother Wei's mother, and this is Wei Shenfa's wife."

The old scholar looked serious, but his smile revealed his easygoing nature. His gaze shifted from Hui Niang to Yu Tingwan.

So many years had passed that he didn't recognize Yu Tingwan.

"Sorry for bothering you."

Yu Tingwan breathed a sigh of relief, her tension dissipating.

Master Zhao: "You may call her Wan Niang."

"Speaking of which, I was also educated. I even taught Nannan to write before. The characters on Nannan's desk were taught by me."

The old master remembered it.

The teaching is like a dog crawling.

It's unclear whether it's because the daughter-in-law of the Wei family wrote poorly, or because the girl didn't learn well.

He looked at Yu Tingwan: "What books have you read?"

Yu Tingwan: "That's a bit much."

She stated realistically: "There are too many to list in a short time."

After all, he had studied with the old master for five years.

Of course, I've forgotten most of it now.

Master Sun was somewhat skeptical, feeling that this young girl was spouting nonsense.

"Who did you learn it from?"

Master Sun: "I know all the teachers in Ze County."

Yu Tingwan: ...

"Just one..."

"A not-so-famous, short-tempered, and fond of scolding and punishing people, country bumpkin."

Upon hearing this, the old scholar frowned.

This doesn't sound like a proper teacher.

A teacher stands on a three-foot platform, aspiring to great heights; a lifetime dedicated to imparting knowledge and skills; leading by example is far more important than words.

Can scolding and punishment teach students?
Unless that student is inherently rebellious and needs to be disciplined.

He shook his head repeatedly, not wanting to say anything bad about the husband in front of the Wei family's daughter-in-law.

He didn't ask any more questions, since his main purpose was to see Wei Shen.

Master Zhao helped him walk forward.

Just then, Liu Yan's voice came from outside the door.

Liu Yan was very excited and spoke loudly: "Yu Tingwan, come out here for a moment."

Yu Tingwan's heart skipped a beat.

The old master had just stepped into the threshold with one foot being helped, when he heard this, he suddenly turned his head.

"Who?"
