The husband I snatched halfway through his life is strange.

Inside the girls' school.

After Yao Yao made her statement, no one stood up.

Just as she was about to frown, Gu Wu stood up and said, "Sister, Shen Zhiyi hasn't arrived yet."

Yao Yao blinked, indicating that she understood.

She looked around, preparing to find a satisfactory seat, but Yao Yao discovered that she had a particular fondness for the teacher's seat at the podium.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she not only showed no fear, but even climbed onto the high stool where the teacher was sitting without hesitation.

She took off the cloth book bag that Yu Niang had made for her from around her neck and tossed it onto the table.

Noticing everyone's gaze, she merely raised her chin slightly.

"Make yourselves at home, I'm going to take a nap."

Students: ...

He was really... arrogant.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were the newcomers.

Yao Yao added, "Oh, right, Shen Zhiyi is here. Just remind me."

After saying that, she lay down to sleep.

Outside, the girl asked the teachers at the girls' school to look after Gu Fuju, who was far away: ...

Master: "This...this..."

The Master frowned deeply.

In all his years of teaching, this was the first time he had encountered something like this.

These aren't students; they're clearly here to become mountain bandits.

Putting everything else aside, Shen Zhiyi and Gu Wu, who are not exactly easy to deal with, are both exceptionally obedient in the school.

He wanted to call the person out for criticism. But meeting Gu Fuju's gaze, the teacher could only manage a forced laugh: "This..."

To be able to serve as a teacher at the Imperial Academy, even if one is teaching girls, is to be carefully selected, and one's knowledge and understanding must be exceptional.

But after racking his brains, the Master finally came up with just one sentence.

"Your daughter is quite lively."

Gu Fuju: ...

For the first time, I realized that "lively" isn't a good word.

Yao Yao didn't manage to get any sleep this time.

Gu Fuju went in, picked up the cloth and book bag, placed it in front of the empty desk in the distance, and then led her out to see the teacher.

Yao Yao looked at the teacher.

Master Sun from Bize County is young.

That's enough for her to make.

Yao Yao was very polite. After accepting her fate, she performed the apprenticeship ceremony properly, her voice both crisp and soft.

"May you rest in peace, Master."

The teacher quickly went over and helped her up with both hands.

"Classmates should get along harmoniously."

This is a reminder.

Yao Yao said, "It's quite harmonious."

Master: ...

To reassure her teacher, she even stood at the school gate, speaking softly and reasonably: "Do you agree?"

Classmate: ...

I don't know if I'll submit, but I'm quite scared.

Seeing that no one objected, Yao Yao was satisfied and walked back: "You see, they are all quite sensible."

The Master couldn't stand it anymore: "If there are any conflicts, you can seek my mediation."

"No need."

Yao Yao: "I can handle this little thing, so I won't trouble you, Master."

"harmony……"

Yao Yao: "The students know. Shen Zhiyi and I will get along very well."

Master: ...

What books have you read?

Yao Yao told him that they were all books for early childhood education.

The Master nodded.

Yao Yao thought of something and added, "There are also the articles and the inner rules of the Book of Rites that the school has been teaching in the past few days."

Master: ???
If you're not here, what are you supposed to learn?
Besides, if you can't keep up with the pace, even if you come, you'll need extra help, otherwise how will you understand?

Gu Fuju narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly remembered that every time A-Wu returned to the mansion, he would ask her about her studies if he had the time.

He taught me that every day from my teacher.

Going through them all once is a good way to solidify your understanding.

At that time, Yao Yao leaned against Jia Shan's chest, fiddling with her jewelry. If A Wu said anything wrong, Gu Fu Ju would always correct her, even going so far as to quote classical texts to elaborate on other topics.

After each time...

Gu Fuju: "Did you remember that?"

Gu Wu: "I've got it."

A faint voice drifted over: "I've remembered."

Gu Fuju then asked Gu Wu, "Did you memorize the essay the teacher gave you yesterday?"

Gu Wu had read it over and over again. She had a good memory, but it was just too difficult to pronounce.

"Not yet."

Yao Yao was in great pain. She had heard Gu Wu read it many times before, and continued softly, "I will."

Gu Fuju didn't take it seriously at the time, just thinking that she liked to join in the fun.

But now...

No wonder Master Sun said those words when he saw me off on my return to Beijing from Ze County.

"Yaoyao is a gifted child. I have often regretted that he is not a boy and could not achieve fame and success."

"Although Jingcheng and his wife are well-off, they are still ordinary people. They dote on their child and only send her to school so that she can understand right from wrong. In Ze County, books are scarce, and I am only a scholar who has passed the imperial examination."

"But she's smart and talented. It would be a real shame if that were all."

Master Sun spoke from the bottom of his heart, but Yao Yao felt that the old man had ill intentions.

"Learning has no end! Reading is such a joyful thing. She has such good conditions, shouldn't she keep reading and reading forever?"

Meanwhile, the Master casually asked Yao Yao a few questions to test her.

They were all very simple, and Yao Yao answered them correctly.

The Master also became slightly more serious and asked a slightly more difficult question.

She answered very well.

Gu Fuju cupped his hands and said, "Yaoyao is not familiar with the Imperial Academy and has not been to school for a long time, so it is inevitable that she will become lax and lazy. My wife and I are worried that she will not adapt well, so we ask the teacher to take good care of her."

The Master hurriedly said, "No, no, that won't do."

Gu Fuju calculated the time and realized it was still early: "I'll show her around first."

"Please proceed, Grand Tutor."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yao raised her pretty little face and, as Gu Fu Ju walked over, offered her her little hand.

Gu Fuju pulled her outside.

I didn't go anywhere else, just took a walk around the area near the girls' school.

He would occasionally offer a few words of advice.

"Lunch will be sent from the manor; you and A-Wu will eat together."

This is very important.

Yao Yao is never ambiguous when it comes to eating.

She nodded heavily.

Gu Fuju raised his hand and pointed to a spot: "That's the boys' school over there. If Yaoyao needs anything, she can come find me there."

Yao Yao nodded.

"Do not get into conflicts with others."

Yao Yao felt she was putting her in a difficult position.

Yao Yao sighed, "But what if they cause me trouble?"

Gu Fuju: ...

"They don't dare."

Yao Yao: ...

that……

Then there's no fun in that.

Before Gu Fuju could say anything more, several students carrying articles hurriedly ran towards him.

"Master!"

"This student has been writing this article for over half a month. I hope you can give me your advice!"

Gu Fuju didn't come to the Imperial Academy every day.

As the Grand Tutor, his official duties were paramount. He also conceived the idea of ​​establishing an academy in the capital to recruit exceptionally talented but impoverished scholars from across the land who could not afford to study.

Therefore, when the students heard the news of his arrival, they rushed over here.

Seeing their thirst for knowledge, Gu Fuju did not refuse them.

Yao Yao waited on the side for a while, but Gu Fu Ju was still not finished.

She looked around and remembered there was a swing on the way here, so she prepared to go and swing for a bit.

But as she walked, she got lost.

She wasn't flustered.

She blinked, realizing that someone else should be panicking.
