Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

The two women looked at Gu Qingyuan with contempt. What kind of place was this Baichuan Academy? It was a place where noble ladies from the capital came to study. How could a rude man like Gu Qingyuan, who couldn't even read a single word, be qualified to enter there?

A thinner woman on the left scoffed, "Gu Qingyuan, you can't even write your own name, and you still have the nerve to ask us to talk to Master Shen on your behalf and let you enter the academy?"

"That's right. I advise you to be smart and leave on your own to avoid making things too awkward."

At some point, a few pedestrians still stopped on the street, watching the farce happening in front of the academy.

Gu Qingyuan heard them say this, but she did not get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "You two are right. Although I can't read many words, I can still write my own name."

Just kidding, although her grades were not very good in modern times, she was still able to get into a 630 university with a score of 211.

"I'm afraid you can only write your name." The thin woman said contemptuously.

"You're right. Not only can I write my own name, I can also write the names of your entire family!"

The people on the street burst into laughter and began to discuss, "I think Gu Qingyuan is overestimating her own abilities. Why does she have to come to the academy when she can't go anywhere else in the capital?"

"If Master Shen comes to chase her away personally, we'll be in for a real show."

"Let's just wait and see the show."

Seeing that more and more people were watching, the two women once again advised Gu Qingyuan: "Gu Qingyuan, I advise you to go back early."

"This is not the place for you."

The sound of reading aloud could be heard in the academy, but it stopped soon after.

Perhaps because it was too noisy at the door and there were many people watching, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

Master Shen came out, frowned, and asked, "What happened?"

The thin woman quickly complained, "Master Shen, isn't it that Gu Qingyuan from the General's Mansion is causing trouble again? She even said she wants to see you. We've tried to persuade her, but she won't listen."

When Master Shen heard Gu Qingyuan's name, she felt dissatisfied. She looked forward and suddenly saw the woman she had seen in the jade shop before.

After seeing Master Shen coming out, Gu Qingyuan took a few steps forward and said respectfully, "Greetings, Master Shen."

"Are you Gu Qingyuan?"

Master Shen really couldn't connect the person in front of him with the Gu Qingyuan from before, and couldn't help but look at her twice more.

Gu Qingyuan stood there and let her look at him, lowering his head slightly to show respect.

"What are you here for?"

Master Shen also didn't have a very good impression of Gu Qingyuan.

General Gu had previously put pressure on her to send her to the academy, but she not only openly refused, but also said that even dogs were unwilling to come to this academy.

Gu Qingyuan naturally recalled the past and felt a little ashamed.

She said, "I want to go to Baichuan Academy."

Upon hearing this, Master Shen sneered and said, "You said earlier that my academy was a place where even dogs wouldn't come. Why do you want to come now?"

The people also pricked up their ears, wanting to see how Gu Qingyuan would answer.

"I heard that Baichuan Academy is recruiting students. If I can pass the teacher's assessment, can you let me enter the academy?" Gu Qingyuan's face was serious.

Master Shen said coldly, "If you can pass the test, I will let you into my academy. But if you try to trick me, I will report you to His Majesty for causing trouble at Baichuan Academy. Even General Gu won't be able to protect you then."

Gu Qingyuan knew that although Master Shen was strict, he also valued talent. In addition to some women of noble status, this academy also had some talented people who were admitted as exceptions.

She nodded and said, "Okay."

Master Shen was actually a little surprised that Gu Qingyuan was not as careless as before.

Even last time in the jade shop, she thought Gu Qingyuan was someone else from the general's mansion.

The last time Gu Qingyuan went to the jade shop to seek justice from the boss, her demeanor surprised her.

Master Shen added, "I'll give you three days to prepare. After three days, come back to me and I'll personally examine you."

Gu Qingyuan was waiting for these words. She smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Master Shen."

"Don't be so quick to thank me. If you can't pass the assessment, I won't accept you even if General Gu comes forward."

Gu Qingyuan’s inner thoughts: In the eyes of others, does that mean she can only rely on her mother?

Well, it’s true. When the original owner got into trouble before, General Gu had to clean up her mess countless times.

After achieving his goal, Gu Qingyuan went back.

The people found it boring and dispersed.

The thin woman asked Master Shen, "Master, why don't you just send her away? Why do you want her to come back in three days?"

"Exactly. Isn't this a waste of the Master's time? She doesn't look like she can pass the test."

Master Shen did not answer, but turned around and went back into the academy.

……

Not long after Gu Qingyuan returned, the news of her going to Baichuan Academy reached General Gu's ears.

General Gu was naturally happy that Gu Qingyuan was willing to go to the academy, but he was also worried that she might not pass the academy's assessment.

Xia Zhi comforted her, "General, don't worry. I am very optimistic about the young master."

"Oh?"

"When I was teaching the young master martial arts, I asked her to do the horse stance at the beginning. She gritted her teeth and persevered without saying a word. Later, she followed me and the winter solstice training. No matter how hard or tiring it was, she never said a word."

General Gu said with relief: "Her perseverance is exactly like mine."

"So, we might as well wait three days and see about the young master's admission to the academy. And if the young master fails the test, and she is willing to study, wouldn't it be the same for the general to hire someone else to teach her?"

General Gu felt that what Xia Zhi said made some sense, so he took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, then I'll take a look first."

After Gu Qingyuan returned, he thought of something and went to Meiyuan again.

Wen Shubai was sitting alone on the swing, with Yu Shui pushing him from behind. Suddenly, Yu Shui pointed at Gu Qingyuan and said, "Master, look who's coming?"

Wen Shubai was very happy when he saw Gu Qingyuan, but in order to hide his happiness, he did not get off the swing immediately. Instead, he pointed at Yu Shui and said, "Keep pushing. Let's wait for her to come over."

Otherwise, it would seem like he was really impatient.

Although he said so, he was silently calculating in his heart how long it would take for Gu Qingyuan to come over.

After Gu Qingyuan entered the Plum Garden, she saw Wen Shubai sitting on the swing. When she approached, he looked as if he had just seen her and asked, "Young Master, why are you here?"

"Of course I wanted to come and see you." She said with a smile.

Although he knew she was just trying to coax him, he was still very happy.

Yu Shui said, "In fact, our master was just wondering why the young master didn't come to see him."

Wen Shubai got angry and said, "Shut up, it's not your turn to speak."
