Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

For three days in a row, every night was a torment.

Shen Nankui was a little afraid of the dark, and she was reluctant to go back to the house. She simply changed the two little ones' afternoon classes to the evening, saying that it was cooler at night.

It was hard for the two little ones, who had to study under the candlelight, yawning.

Although Gu Yichuan saw through her thoughts, he did not expose her. He would wait in the main hall on time every day and even give the two little ones some homework.

The two little ones were in tears.

I just feel that my uncle and aunt seem to be making trouble for them these past two days.

Liang was an experienced person, and seeing this, she gradually guessed something and couldn't help but teasing them.

"Oh, you two are newlyweds, and you have been separated for quite some time. Of course, a little separation is better than a new marriage. You want to stick together all the time, but don't you realize what time it is? If you have anything to say, just go back to your room and talk with the door closed!"

"Poor thing! Look at these two kids, their eyes are all black and blue!"

As Liang said this, she actually felt sorry for her own child.

Shen Nankui looked a little embarrassed and said to the two children, "Then we will stop here today and do the rest of the homework tomorrow."

The two little ones were as if they had been pardoned, and were led away by Liang, one on each side.

After they left, Gu Yichuan also reached out to Shen Nankui, "My lady, it's late, let's go back to the house and rest."

Shen Nankui shuddered for no apparent reason, and his face suddenly turned red.

After returning to the room, the two washed up and sat side by side on the bed. Shen Nankui felt the body temperature of the person next to her and couldn't help but move away.

"My husband has been staying at home for a few days. When will he return to the county town to study?"

"Madam, are you going to chase us away?"

Shen Nankui's ears turned red. "How could that be? It's just that my husband will take part in the Spring Examination next year, so he should focus on his studies right now."

Gu Yichuan suddenly smiled, took her hand and said, "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I know what I mean. You will go to the private school tomorrow to teach, I will know the importance of this matter."

Hearing him say this, Shen Nankui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the love between the couple did make her feel a little different, if it continued like this every day, even if she had bones of iron, she would not be able to endure it!

They both undressed and lay on the bed, and Gu Yichuan really didn't touch her again.

It was a hot summer night, so he blew out the lights and slowly fanned Shen Nankui, bringing gusts of cool breeze.

Shen Nankui felt very comfortable and was about to close his eyes comfortably when he suddenly felt sad again.

She turned her back to Gu Yichuan and said in a muffled voice, "Husband, go to sleep."

Gu Yichuan thought he had disturbed her sleep, so he put down the fan and said softly, "My lady, go to sleep quickly. I will go to the private school with you tomorrow morning."

"My husband is going too?" Shen Nankui opened her eyes suddenly.

Gu Yichuan said, "The first class will start tomorrow, and I don't know how it will go. How about I go over and help you out and be at your disposal?"

Shen Nankui burst out laughing, "How can a small private school in Lai'an Town send Mr. Gu to work?"

But she knew in her heart that Gu Yichuan was afraid that she couldn't cope with it, so he wanted to go over to support her.

In the darkness, she sighed silently, wishing she had not seen the painting that day.

In this way, she could feel at ease thinking that all these tenderness and affection were directed at her.

-

Early the next morning.

After breakfast, Shen Nankui and Gu Yichuan took the two children to the private school.

When they arrived, there were already six or seven people sitting in the private school. When they saw them come in, they looked at them curiously.

Shen Nankui was also looking at them. At a glance, he saw that there were only some half-grown children there.

She had looked at the roster and knew that these children were no older than thirteen years old, and most of them were just learning to read and write.

Before everyone arrived, Shen Nankui arranged a seat for Ayuan first, and asked Aqiao to sit on the left side separated by a bamboo curtain.

Seeing a little girl sitting in the school, several children couldn't help whispering to each other, seeming to find it hard to believe.

Shen Nankui ignored them and just waited for everyone to gather.

At the beginning of the Chen period, everyone arrived.

Just as Shen Nankui was about to speak, a courageous student spoke first.

"Master, may I ask why there is a little girl in the academy?"

Shen Nankui said calmly: "She is also my student and takes classes with you."

"Ridiculous! Why would a girl go to a private school? This is where we men study and learn. If the teacher invites her here, won't it disturb our concentration on study?"

When A Yuan heard someone talking about his sister like that, he looked quite indignant. He just stood up, but Shen Nankui signaled him to sit down again.

Shen Nankui looked at the person who spoke.

This child was much taller than anyone else in the academy. He was the thirteen-year-old student named Yang Ze. He had studied in a private school for two years, so he spoke in a rather literary manner.

"You call me a teacher, but I am also a woman. Since women can be teachers and teach, why can't they come to a private school to study?"

Yang Ze was speechless and said, "When Master Zhao was here, there was no such rule. You were just someone the head of the village found to make up the numbers. It was an exception to have a girl as a teacher. You also disturbed the order of the school. It is totally inappropriate to have a girl here!"

"Is there any private school that has boys and girls taking classes together? I think you just want to corrupt us!"

When he shouted, the other students also looked worried and began to doubt, and the quiet school immediately became noisy.

Gu Yichuan frowned and was about to speak, but was stopped by Shen Nankui.

She asked calmly, "I haven't taught you yet, how do you know I will teach you bad things?"

"How can you teach well if you don't follow the rules?"

Yang Ze's eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

"If I can't teach well, then who can teach well, Mr. Zhao who has traveled far away and never returned, or Mr. Gu who is beside me?"

Shen Nankui pointed at Gu Yichuan and said, "Then ask him if he is willing to teach you?"

Gu Yichuan has a great reputation in Lai'an Town, and all the students know him. Upon hearing this, they all looked at him with burning eyes, and there was also hope in Yang Ze's eyes.

Gu Yichuan said with his hands behind his back: "I am still studying economics and have no time to spare."

The students all had looks of disappointment on their faces.

Shen Nankui looked at Yang Ze, "What you said just now is right. I am just here to make up the numbers. If the private school really had no one to continue, it would not be my turn as a woman to be a teacher, but -"

She paused, "I'm here, you know I'm a female teacher, and you're here, so you recognize me as your teacher. In this case, you have to follow my rules."

"Yang Ze, you studied with Master Zhao for two years, but you just yelled at me. Do you still have any respect for your teacher in your eyes? Are you worthy of the sage books you read?"

Yang Ze's eyes were somewhat evasive.

"I'm not disrespecting the teacher, I just don't accept it. Why can a girl sit with us and study?"
