Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Ah Qiao also realized that she had said the wrong thing. She glanced at Shen Nankui cautiously, twisting her fingers and said, "I'm sorry, little aunt, I remembered it wrongly. My mother didn't say that."

After she said this, not only did A Yuan roll his eyes, but even Shen Nankui was amused by her.

A Yuan hurriedly pulled A Qiao behind him and said, "Aunt, my mother was just joking, she didn't mean any harm..."

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "I know."

"You're not angry?" A Yuan looked at her with curiosity.

"Your mother wasn't wrong either, why should I be angry?"

A Yuan was stunned, as if he couldn't understand how someone could be so calm after being scolded?

Seeing that the two kids were silent, Shen Nankui thought for a moment and said, "Don't be afraid. Just pretend that I didn't hear anything. How about that?"

A Yuan didn't respond.

Ah Qiao, on the other hand, had liked this pretty young aunt since Shen Nankui gave her the sweet cake in the morning. She looked up and asked, "Young aunt, you don't hate my mother, do you?"

Shen Nankui burst out laughing, "Of course not."

Hearing her say this, Ah Qiao immediately felt relieved, walked up to her, took her hand, and took her to sit on a wooden stool nearby, smiling sweetly, "Aunt, I will teach you how to choose beans."

"Okay." Shen Nankui agreed happily.

The two of them put their heads together, holding a winnowing basket and carefully sifting the beans.

A Yuan first watched the two of them quietly for a while before returning to the camp of selecting beans.

While Shen Nankui was busy, she chatted with the two kids. During the conversation, she learned that the two kids were actually rare twins, a boy and a girl. Ayuan was born half a quarter of an hour earlier and was the older brother, and Aqiao was the younger sister.

The brother and sister were originally a little wary of the new aunt, but after talking to her, they found that she was gentle and kind. No matter what they said, she responded with a smile. Even if they said something wrong, she didn't get angry, but corrected them with reason and evidence. She was really the easiest person to get along with.

Gradually, A Yuan was not so afraid of her anymore.

When Shen Nankui asked him if he could read, he patted his chest and said proudly, "My uncle has already taught me the Hundred Family Names and Thousand Character Classic. I can also write my sister's name and mine!"

"Oh? Then write it for me." Shen Nankui broke off a branch and handed it to him.

A Yuan was full of confidence and started to sketch on the ground in an orderly manner.

Shen Nankui watched him finish writing and nodded, "Gu Wenyuan, Gu Wenqiao, good, you wrote them all correctly. So, you can also write the names of the other family members?"

"That's right." A Yuan nodded.

Shen Nankui asked: "Then can you write my name?"

A Yuan thought for a while and started to draw on the ground with a branch.

He could write the word "Shen". He corrected the word "Nan" twice before getting the strokes right. When it came to the word "Kui", he felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to start writing while holding the tree branch.

After a while, he lowered his head in embarrassment, "I, I can't write..."

Shen Nankui smiled and patted his shoulder. "You are only seven years old and you know so many words. It's amazing. Tomorrow I will formally teach you to read. Are you willing?"

Hearing that he was going to go to school, Ayuan was excited, but when he thought of the quarrel between his father and mother in the morning, he became hesitant.

"Aunt, what can you teach me?"

Shen Nankui thought for a moment and said, "You can't recognize all the characters now, so you should learn to read them first. Only then can you understand the articles of the ancient sages and the meaning of the words and sentences. When you know more, you should learn to use words and sentences and express your ideas with pen and paper. In short, since I have promised to teach you, as long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you everything I know."

A Yuan nodded, with hope in his eyes, "Can I be as good as my uncle?"

Shen Nankui smiled and said, "Where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you work hard, you may be more powerful than your uncle in the future."

"Okay, Auntie, I will definitely study hard with you in the future!"

Shen Nankui looked at Aqiao again and asked, "Aqiao, can you read? Would you like to study with your brother tomorrow?"

Ah Qiao nodded and shook her head, whispering, "My uncle also taught Ah Qiao, but my grandmother and my parents wouldn't let me learn. They said it was useless for girls to study, it was a waste of time, and that it would be better to do more work with the free time. So, Ah Qiao doesn't know as many words as my brother..."

Shen Nankui felt pity in his heart, "Does Qiao want to learn it herself?"

Ah Qiao pursed her lips and nodded, "I want to learn. I want to be like my aunt and understand many principles."

Before her young aunt came in, she had never seen a woman like her young aunt. She was beautiful and confident, gentle and dignified. Her every move and every word was fascinating.

She also wants to be completely different from Aunt Dong'er and her own mother.

Shen Nankui touched her head and said softly, "Aunt will find a way to get your grandmother and parents to agree to your study."

"Really?" Ah Qiao almost jumped up.

Shen Nankui couldn't help but pinch her little face, "Of course it's true."

Anyway, teaching one is the same as teaching two. The little niece of the Gu family is so lovable that she can't bear to abandon her.

"Aunt, you are so nice!"

Aqiao was filled with joy and happily threw herself into Shen Nankui's arms, acting affectionately and coquettishly with her.

A Yuan was also very excited and grinned, "That's great! You have your aunt to teach you, so I don't have to bother teaching you secretly anymore."

Shen Nankui asked in surprise: "You teach Aqiao?"

A Yuan nodded, "Yes, grandma didn't let A Qiao learn to read from my uncle, so I secretly taught A Qiao what I learned. When my uncle found out, he praised me. But A Qiao is too stupid. There are some characters that I taught her many times but she still can't learn!"

Ah Qiao was unhappy, "It's obviously your fault for not teaching well!"

The little girl was not convinced and said with a pout, "My uncle sometimes tests me. As long as he teaches me, I can remember it. What right do you have to say that I am stupid?"

The two kids were bickering on the side, but Shen Nankui was a little dazed.

Thinking of what Gu Yichuan said in the morning, a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. He is really a good person. From the way he treats his little niece, it can be seen that he is not one of those pedantic people.

Otherwise, he would not have strongly recommended himself to teach Ayuan.

"Okay, stop arguing."

She pulled the two little ones apart. "Ayuan, it's great that you are willing to teach your sister what you know. This is not only a manifestation of your love for your sister, but also a way for you to improve yourself. The so-called teaching and learning benefit each other, which means that while teaching others, you can also recognize your own shortcomings. Knowing your shortcomings can help you reflect on yourself, and knowing your difficulties can help you become stronger. Teaching and learning promote each other. You taught your sister, and although it seems that she was tired, your sister is also helping you consolidate your knowledge and reflect on your mistakes, which is also beneficial to you."

She smiled and said, "And you, Aqiao, when you study with your brother in the future, you must encourage each other and make progress together, understand?"

After listening to what she said, the two kids were stunned for a moment before they nodded heavily.

"We get it!"

Shen Nankui smiled and patted the back of their heads, "So good."

Not far away, Gu Yichuang stood under the eaves, watching the scene with a smile on his face.

into the night.

Shen Nankui returned to the west room and felt inexplicably nervous.

The two of them did not have their wedding night yesterday. I wonder if Gu Yichuan will take the initiative tonight?

She was sitting on the edge of the bed with her hair loose, thinking about something when Gu Yichuan suddenly opened the door and came in. He walked straight towards her, sat down beside her, and held her hand very naturally.

"My lady has been waiting for a long time."
