I am a winner with Chinese poetry

"Thank you, Brother Wei!" Gu Yunzhou had never expected this, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel that Wei Yu's excuse was really good. Qin attached great importance to Gu Yunzhou's studies. Although she herself was just an ordinary person who had not yet been imbued with literary talent, she also knew the benefits of learning.

Qin was arranged by Wei Yu to live in a quiet courtyard. At this moment, there were sounds of footsteps in the courtyard. When Gu Yunzhou and his party came to the gate of the courtyard, they saw a cute and innocent girl carrying a basin of water walking out of the room.

"Xiangqin, has Aunt Gu woken up yet? If so, go and inform her!" Wei Rao asked the maid in front of her. This maid was one of the top maids in her yard. Although she looked young and innocent, she was very attentive. That was why Wei Rao specially sent her here yesterday to take charge of Qin's daily life temporarily.

"Greetings to Miss Seven, and to Mr. Four. Madam Qin has just woken up and is having breakfast. I noticed she wasn't looking well yesterday, so I consulted the doctor in the mansion. I had the kitchen prepare a yam and jujube paste cake today that's both a medicinal and a nutritious treat. It looked like Madam Qin was willing to eat a few more bites."

The little maid Xiangqin answered crisply, smiling before she spoke, and in a clear and logical manner. She not only answered the question, but also reported her work results to Wei Rao calmly.

Wei Rao nodded in satisfaction. Hearing that Qin had risen, she motioned for Xiangqin to go and pass the message, and then several people walked into the house. Xiangqin immediately and cleverly lifted the beaded curtain and whispered, "Madam Qin, the Seventh Miss and the Fourth Young Master are here."

Inside the house, Qin was sitting at the table with a plate of yam and jujube paste cake and a bowl of porridge in front of her. Seeing Gu Yunzhou and the Wei family members walk in, Qin's eyes reddened. She immediately put down her chopsticks and quickly walked over to Gu Yunzhou to take a closer look.

"You kid, you really ran off to the next county without saying a word. Luckily Xiaoyu explained it to me. Don't do that again next time!"

"Mom, this happened for a reason. I'm sorry to have made you worried!" Gu Yunzhou quickly helped his mother sit down and apologized to Qin.

"Okay, just remember to tell me in advance next time. Oh, Xiaoyu and Rao'er, I'm sorry to trouble you. Please take a seat. I was so excited that I embarrassed you!" Qin's mood eased, and the uneasiness in her heart since yesterday was put down. Then she noticed Wei Yu and others who were traveling with her, and immediately smiled at them embarrassedly.

Wei Rao smiled and said, "Auntie, you're welcome. Are you used to living here? I just wanted to come and see you. Did you sleep well last night? How are you feeling today?"

Wei Yu also asked with concern: "Auntie, are you feeling better?"

Qin nodded and said with a smile: "Thanks to Rao'er's thoughtful arrangements, I feel much better now. Look, this yam and jujube paste cake tastes really good, and the chef's skills are really amazing. You should try it too." As she said, she picked up a piece of yam and jujube paste cake and handed it to Wei Rao.

Qin was just an ordinary person. Although she helped in the kitchen at Gu's house, she was actually just doing some assistant work. Although she knew that several members of the Wei family were born into aristocratic families and had witnessed the wealth of the Wei family from yesterday to now, because she got along well with them, she unconsciously regarded them as her own children and nephews.

Therefore, when she saw delicious food, she subconsciously wanted to share it with them. However, after she handed the food to Wei Rao and others, she realized that her behavior might not be appropriate.

Qin's face instantly turned uneasy. After all, this was a young lady from the Wei family! What precious items had they not seen? In a moment of impulse, she had actually treated them as ordinary juniors. She wondered if this would embarrass Brother Yun. Thinking of this, she looked up at Gu Yunzhou with increasing anxiety.

As if she had noticed Qin's reserve, Wei Rao smiled gently before Gu Yunzhou could speak. She took the cake without hesitation and said cheerfully, "Auntie, how did you know I hadn't had breakfast yet? I'm just hungry. Well, this cake is really delicious. Fourth brother Xiaofeng, you two should try it too!"

It has to be said that Wei Rao, a young lady from a wealthy family, is not only smart but also well-educated. With just two simple words, she cleverly resolved Qin's embarrassment, making her originally worried mood immediately relax. She watched everyone eat with relish with a smile on her face.

"Master and Miss, I will ask the kitchen to send some food over right away!" Xiangqin was very perceptive. She asked the maid waiting on the side to remove the remaining food, then bowed and hurried to notify the kitchen.

In just a short while, the table was filled with steaming food again. Large families believed in not talking while eating or sleeping, so the few of them finished their breakfast quietly before continuing to discuss things.

"Mom, I'll take you back to our rental in a bit. The house in Liuyun Town was destroyed in the fire. I've thought it over carefully, and I'm going to settle down in Jinzhou County first. There are several good academies here, and I plan to continue my studies. So, I'm going out with Brother Wei and a few others today to see if there's a suitable house to buy. You can pack up the things you need first, and when we find a house we'll move in!"

Gu Yunzhou explained this to Qin. Qin looked at her sensible son, her heart filled with joy and pride. She knew that despite the tremendous changes in life, as long as the family was together, there was nothing they couldn't overcome.

"Oh, what a shame about that house! It was the family business your grandfather and his family worked so hard to build. But Brother Yun, you're right. You're still young, so you should focus on your studies. Even if the house burned down, the foundation is still there. We can repair it when we have the chance in the future!"

Qin sighed, "Alas, that old house was once our home, but now it's gone... But, Yunzhou, you're right, studying is the most important thing. As long as you study hard and make a name for yourself in the future, we won't have to suffer anymore."

Although she felt sorry for the loss of her house, Qin was more concerned about her son's future. She knew the importance of education, especially for a bright and studious child like Gu Yunzhou. Besides, Jinzhou County was the county seat, and both educational resources and development opportunities were far superior to the small town they lived in.

"Don't worry, Mom. When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely renovate the old house. I believe it won't take too long!" Gu Yunzhou handed his mother a cup of hot tea and comforted her.

Suddenly, Gu Yunzhou's heart moved. He remembered that when he saw Master Hu off, Master Hu had given him a token that allowed him to directly enter the literary academy in Anqing Prefecture. However, although Anqing Prefecture belonged to Jinzhou County, it was still a day's journey from the county seat, even at the fastest speed. If he went there to study, it would be inconvenient to travel back and forth.
