Gu Qingyuan came to the door of Wen Shubai's room, knocked a few times, and then saw Yu Shui coming to open the door.

When Yu Shui saw her, he asked, "Young Master, what business have you had with our Master?"

Gu Qingyuan smiled and said, "I do have something to ask him. Is he in the house now?"

Yu Shui looked back and nodded.

Gu Qingyuan avoided the rain and walked inside.

Wen Shubai was sitting by the window, not knowing what he was looking at. Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of his eyes. He looked up and saw Gu Qingyuan coming over.

Gu Qingyuan sat down directly across from him, poured herself a cup of tea, looked at him expectantly, and asked, "Do you know Master Shen from Baichuan Academy?"

Master Shen was the Grand Tutor and the founder of Baichuan Academy.

"I know. Young Master, are you here to ask me about Master Shen?"

Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly and praised: "Smart!"

Wen Shubai was silent for a moment, then looked at the bright smile on her face and couldn't help but think of the rumors he had heard.

It was said that Gu Qingyuan specially asked the doctor to prescribe tonic medicine for the person in Lan Yuan.

Gu Qingyuan didn't know that he was already feeling very hungry in his heart, but sat there waiting for his answer.

Wen Shubai threw away the thoughts in his mind and recalled the time when Master Shen taught his sister to read in the palace.

He said slowly, "I don't have a deep impression of Master Shen. I've seen her a few times, and she was always scolding my sister. Master Shen is very strict with my sister..."

Gu Qingyuan thought, that's natural, she is the tutor of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, how can she not be strict?

She then asked, "Has anyone in the palace revealed anything about Master Shen's preferences? For example, what does she like?"

Gu Qingyuan wanted to please the boy and see if he could get into the academy.

"Master Shen seems to like beautiful jade. I heard that she has a lot of beautiful jade in her home. She also likes to wear some jade jewelry, saying that jade can nourish people."

"Also, I know a little about Baichuan Academy. Besides writing articles, if other aspects satisfy the Master, I can also enter."

Wen Shubai was persuading Gu Qingyuan to practice martial arts well during this period of time, so that he could use his martial arts to enter Baichuan Academy.

Gu Qingyuan got the information he wanted, stood up suddenly, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much."

Master Shen likes beautiful jade, and she can just go and find another piece for him. Moreover, according to Wen Shubai, Master Shen is a very strict person, and she must have a bad impression of him because of her reputation.

Then she might as well perform well and make Master Shen change his mind and accept her as an exception!

After making up her mind, Gu Qingyuan walked out of Wen Shubai's room. Yu Shui saw her out, saw her to the door, and then turned back.

Yu Shui was curious about what their master and the young master had said. He was waiting in the outer room just now and did not hear the conversation between the two.

After Gu Qingyuan left, he walked over to Wen Shubai and asked him, "Master, what did the young master come to see you about just now?"

"She was asking me about Master Shen from Baichuan Academy."

"Young Master wants to go to the academy?" Yu Shui asked in surprise.

You know, when General Gu wanted to send her in, she refused to go. This also angered Master Shen, who claimed that he would not let Gu Qingyuan enter the academy as long as she was there.

In the past few years, Gu Qingyuan has been hanging out outside every day. He has neither thought about going to the academy nor practicing martial arts with General Gu. Whenever he gets into trouble outside, he lets General Gu clean up the mess.

Why do you want to go to the academy now?

Wen Shubai said "hmm" as a response.

Then he looked at the rain and said, "Go and get the piece of mutton-fat jade that the Queen Mother gave me."

"master!"

Yu Shui exclaimed, there were only three pieces of mutton-fat jade, one was with His Majesty, one was with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and the remaining one was with the master.

Could it be that the master wants to give this piece of mutton-fat jade to the young master?

"Go quickly."

Wen Shubai urged impatiently.

Yu Shui reluctantly went in and took out the piece of mutton-fat jade from the box.

The mutton-fat jade is of excellent quality, and its surface is like mutton fat, hence its name. Its color is not pure white, but a beige white with a slight yellowish tint.

It looks smooth and pure, without a single flaw.

Even the master usually carefully kept this piece of mutton-fat jade, but now he wants to give it to Gu Qingyuan. Yu Shui feels it is not worth it.

Yu Shui advised: "Master, this mutton-fat jade is too precious. If you really want to give the young master a gift, I think that jadeite is also good."

Wen Shubai gently stroked the piece of mutton-fat jade. Unlike other jades, mutton-fat jade has a slightly softer texture and is easier to carve into various shapes.

"Bring the box here too, and you can give it to the young master later."

When saying this, Wen Shubai had a gentle smile on his face, as if he could see the happy expression on Gu Qingyuan's face when she got the jade.

What does it matter if this jade is precious? It's just a toy. How can anyone value it?

Yu Shui took out the box again and put the mutton-fat jade in it.

When he was about to leave, Wen Shubai taught him another line of speech: "Just say that I don't have any use for this thing, so just think of it as a gift to her."

Yu Shui stamped her feet. It was such a precious gift that even the noble lord didn't have, yet the master wanted to give it away.

However, when he came to the door of Gu Qingyuan's room with the box in his hand, he only saw the Spring Equinox.

Yu Shui asked, "Spring Equinox, where is the young master?"

Chunfen glanced into the room and said, "Oh, you mean the young master? She just came back and left immediately."

Yushui handed the box to Chunfen and said, "Young Master must open this thing personally. This is a gift from our master to you. It is very valuable."

When Chunfen heard the word "very valuable", he became more careful when taking the box and didn't even dare to breathe.

She looked at Yu Shui and said, "Okay, I'll give it to her when the young master comes back."

The rain completed its mission and went back.

……

on the street.

Gu Qingyuan came to a jade shop. Since Master Shen liked jade, she would definitely not like ordinary jade. It would be better for her to choose a precious piece of jade.

But she didn't really understand and could only judge by the color.

As soon as he walked into a jade shop, Gu Qingyuan was dazzled by the various colors and styles of jade inside.

She walked straight to the counter and said, "Boss, I want to buy jade. Can you introduce it to me first?"

When the boss heard what Gu Qingyuan said, he knew that she knew nothing. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he walked out with a smile on his face.

"Sir, you want to buy jade? Then you've come to the right place. Our jade shop is the largest in the entire capital. What kind of jade do you want? Jade can be divided into nephrite and hard jade. And the Hetian jade in nephrite can be divided into green jade, jasper, and sugar jade according to its color..."

The boss listed eight types in one breath.
