Marrying for someone else and being a widow? Stepmothers open classes to raise children

In recent days, Gu Zhiyi has calculated six divinations for the wife of Marquis Yongxin, and all six divinations were correct.

The wife of Marquis Yongxin believed this firmly, and whenever she encountered something confusing, she would always come to Gu Zhiyi for advice.

And on this day, the wife of Marquis Yongxin arrived as promised.

The courtyard is shaded by green trees and filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Gu Zhiyi and the wife of Marquis Yongxin sat in the pavilion and talked in low voices.

Gu Zhiyi was holding a cup of tea, smiling, her eyes revealing her concern for the wife of Marquis Yongxin.

"Madam, what are you worried about coming here this time?" Gu Zhiyi asked softly.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongxin hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Madam Gu, I have been feeling that the people around me are not so reliable lately, as if someone is secretly coveting my position. I am worried that this matter will affect the peace of the Marquis's Mansion."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will tell you about this matter. But before that, have you ever paid attention to the people around you to see if there is anything unusual?"

Madam Yongxin thought for a moment and said, "One of my personal servants is behaving strangely. She is always sneaking around, as if she is hiding something. I suspect she is involved in this matter."

Gu Zhiyi nodded and said, "Well, let's do a divination for her first to see if it's what Madam wants."

After that, Gu Zhiyi picked up a copper coin, shook it gently, and then threw it on the ground. The copper coin fell to the ground, with the front side facing up. Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "Madam, the hexagram shows that this green radish is indeed hiding something, and she is colluding with people around you. However, she is not the mastermind, but is being used by others."

The wife of Marquis Yongxin's face changed, and she asked nervously, "Then how should we respond?"

Gu Zhiyi pondered for a moment and said, "Madam, you can first transfer this green lotus away from your side and secretly send someone to monitor her. As for the person behind the scenes, we still need to make a long-term plan."

Madam Yongxin nodded and looked at Gu Zhiyi gratefully: "Madam Ningguo, thanks to you, otherwise I would have to grope in the dark for a long time."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and shook her head: "Madam, this is my job. However, you still need to be careful. When it comes to the interests of the Marquis' Mansion, don't act rashly."

The two chatted for a while, and the wife of the Marquis of Yongxin felt better and stood up to say goodbye. Gu Zhiyi personally saw her out and watched her leave.

At this time, Luluo came over and said, "Madam, the wife of Marquis Yongxin has left."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and said, "I see. Go and get ready. We will go to the temple this afternoon to pray for the Ningguo Mansion."

Green ivy agreed and left.

In the afternoon, Gu Zhiyi brought Luluo to a nearby temple. In the temple, incense smoke curled up and there were many believers. Gu Zhiyi came to the Buddha statue and prayed devoutly.

"May Buddha bless the Ningguo Mansion and bring peace and freedom from disputes," she said silently in her heart.

In the evening, the wife of the Marquis of Yongxin sent someone to deliver a letter. Gu Zhiyi opened the envelope and saw the words: "Madam Ningguo, I am very grateful today. If you need anything in the future, I will do my best."

Gu Zhiyi smiled slightly and put the letter into the drawer.

……

Xie Yunchen wanted to kneel down to the headmaster, but Gu Zhiyi frowned and stopped him: "A man's knees are made of gold, how can he kneel down casually?"

Hearing this, Xie Yunchen's eyes flashed with a trace of struggle, but he finally stopped the urge to kneel. He straightened his back and looked firmly at Du Yusheng, the headmaster of Bailu Academy.

Du Yusheng smiled gently, with approval in his eyes. He slowly said, "Mrs. Xie is admirable for raising her children. Yunchen, since you have made up your mind, there is no need to be polite. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

Gu Zhiyi nodded slightly and sat down opposite Du Yusheng with Xie Yunchen.

Du Yusheng said: "Yun Chen, you came here this time to solve the problem in the courtyard, right?"

Xie Yunchen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Shanzhang. That question has troubled me for a long time. I hope to get your advice."

Du Yusheng nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will answer it for you. But before that, I would like to hear your solution first."

Xie Yunchen was slightly stunned, and then began to explain his thoughts. He analyzed in detail, listing all the aspects he considered. Du Yusheng listened very carefully, nodding and praising from time to time.

At this time, Gu Zhiyi couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Shanzhang, what do you think of Yunchen's idea?"

Du Yusheng smiled slightly and said, "Madam, you are too kind. Yun Chen's thinking is very clear. With a little guidance, he can find the answer."

Gu Zhiyi smiled gently and said, "Then please give me more advice."

Du Yusheng nodded and began to guide Xie Yunchen's thinking on solving the problem: "Yunchen, when solving the problem, you paid too much attention to logical reasoning, but ignored the combination of emotion and artistic conception. In ancient articles, artistic conception is crucial. For example, this "Lushan Ballad" has a profound artistic conception and rich meaning. If you can grasp this point, solving the problem will be a piece of cake."

Xie Yunchen nodded thoughtfully, with a trace of confusion in his eyes. Du Yusheng saw it and continued, "Artistic conception is the emotion and scene that the author places in the text. For example, the 'Egret Island' in this poem is the author's praise and yearning for Mount Lu. If you can feel the author's emotion from it, it will be much easier to solve the problem."

Gu Zhiyi smiled and interrupted: "Shanzhang is right. Yunchen, try to start from the artistic conception and see if you can find inspiration to solve the problem."

Xie Yunchen pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had found the direction to solve the problem. He couldn't wait to say: "Principal, Madam, I understand. The Bailuzhou in this poem is both a real scene and an ideal state in the author's mind. The author expressed his yearning and praise for Mount Lushan through the description of Bailuzhou. Then, the key to solving the problem lies in finding this combination of emotion and artistic conception."

Du Yusheng nodded approvingly: "Yes, that's right. Try to solve the problem according to this idea, I believe you will make a breakthrough."

Xie Yunchen was thinking hard, his pen flying on the paper. Gu Zhiyi and Du Yusheng smiled at each other, and they could feel each other's relief. After a while, Xie Yunchen suddenly raised his head, with a confident light in his eyes: "Shanzhang, Madam, I think I have found the answer."

Du Yusheng smiled and asked, "Oh? Then tell me about it."

Xie Yunchen stood up, walked to the desk, picked up a pen and sketched a picture on paper, explaining: "In this poem, the author presents a beautiful landscape painting through the description of Bailuzhou. I incorporated this artistic conception into the problem solving and found the answer. You see, here is the beautiful scenery of Bailuzhou, and here is the ideal state in the author's mind."

Du Yusheng and Gu Zhiyi looked at Xie Yunchen's sketch and couldn't help but admire it. Du Yusheng said: "Yunchen, your understanding is really amazing. This time, you have mastered the combination of artistic conception and emotion in solving the problem. I believe that you will be more outstanding in your future studies."

Gu Zhiyi also smiled and said: "Yun Chen, you have to remember that the combination of artistic conception and emotion is not only applicable to solving problems, but also to life."
