The Scholar Is Indeed the Scholar

Gu Dajiang blinked. Why did the concierge of the teacher’s house seem to be very familiar with his daughter?
Moreover, he was just like the shopkeeper and shop assistant in the shop. He looked as happy as if he had seen his family.
Gu Dajiang restrained his expression and was about to speak when he heard the guard say, “Miss Gu, you’re here to look for Yunshu and Yuanzhi, right? You’re not lucky. They’re not here now.”
“Oh? Today’s a day off?”
The gatekeeper shook his head and said with a smile, “No, the master borrowed the martial arts field of the county school and brought the students to learn archery.”
Gu Yundong suddenly understood. However, the county school was on the other side of the city. It was not appropriate for them to go now.
Hence, she could only say to Gu Dajiang, “Let’s go home first. We’ll see Yunshu and the others when they come back from school.”
“Alright.” As he didn’t see his kids, Gu Dajiang was a little disappointed.
However, he had already waited for so long, so there was no hurry.
After getting back into the carriage, Gu Yundong asked Tong Shuitao to go straight back to Yongfu Village. There was no need to stop in between.
After the carriage left for a while, Gu Dajiang said with some emotion, “The top scholar is indeed the top scholar. His teaching methods are different from others. Every student should dabble in the Six Arts, namely etiquette, music, archery, books, and math. However, ordinary private schools only teach students the knowledge in books. As long as they use it to deal with the imperial examinations, they will treat the other subjects as playthings. They don’t know that this is pedantic and inflexible, narrowing the students’ horizons. The top scholar has nurtured them in all aspects since Yunshu and the others were young children. It’s really admirable.”
Gu Yundong widened his eyes. Father, wake up. You can’t become Qin Wenzheng’s fanboy. Wouldn’t she be shorter when she saw him in the future? She quickly interrupted.
“Father, this means that I have keen eyes. Back then, I brought Yunshu to several schools and met a few teachers before choosing this place.”
As expected, Gu Dajiang turned his gaze to her. “Yes, Yundong’s contribution is the greatest.”
“Actually, in the beginning, this top scholar didn’t plan to accept Yunshu. I thought of many ways to convince him. It was quite difficult. This person isn’t easy to talk to at all.”
“Is that so?” Gu Dajiang frowned. “Yundong, you’ve worked too hard. Leave such matters to me in the future.”
“Of course.”
She nodded solemnly. The father and daughter talked as they walked towards Yongfu Village.
Tong Shuitao, who was outside the carriage, heard this and the corners of her mouth twitched. Miss, aren’t you afraid of being exposed? Mr. Qin is too easy to talk to in front of you.
Otherwise, why would he accept the two young masters? He did his best.
With that thought in mind, the carriage finally drove into Yongfu Village.
It was no longer rare for carriages to enter Yongfu Village, but everyone was familiar with Gu Yundong’s, especially with Tong Shuitao, whom they had not seen for a long time, in the front.
Someone immediately asked loudly, “Is it the Gu family’s Yundong? Yundong, you’re back?”
Gu Yundong lifted the curtain and looked in the direction of the voice. It was someone from the village. It seemed that her husband was working in Gu Yundong’s workshop.
She nodded at the person. “Hello, Auntie.”
“Oh my, is Master Gu really back? It must have been hard on you. The weather is very hot. Do you want some water? I’ll get some for you.”
Gu Yundong smiled and waved her hand. “No need. I’m going home now.”
“Oh, yes, yes, yes. You just came back. Your mother must miss you. Go back quickly.”
Gu Yundong bade her farewell and lowered the curtain.
She turned around and saw Gu Dajiang taking a deep breath.
