The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 267

Su Xu nodded and then said, "One should be like the eldest daughter of Minister Liu's family, asking questions whenever there is something you don't understand."

This sentiment, "This love can only be cherished in memory," means that the feelings at the time were incredibly beautiful. However, because the man was unfaithful and fickle, their love has long since become a thing of the past, and now it's just a beautiful memory.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiangling, the legitimate daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue, had a glint in her eyes and was deeply moved!

She had never imagined that such feelings existed in the world, and at that moment she said, "Master Su, you are the guiding light on my path."

Su Xu has gained popularity among many female staff members these days. Liu Xiangling, the daughter of the Vice Minister of Revenue, expressed her feelings fairly reasonably. A few days ago, several female staff members directly expressed their liking for him.

Thinking about how he, a seventy or eighty-year-old man, was so loved by his students, he felt a little helpless for a moment, but more than that, his confidence in his continued pursuit of literature was rekindled. He immediately turned his gaze to Liu Xiangling and said, "Okay, sit down first, and we will continue the lesson."

What Su Xu didn't expect was that these poems he had taught in class had already been passed down by word of mouth and quickly spread to the streets. The popularity of these poems as everyday entertainment in brothels and even music halls was unbelievable.

Even an ordinary dancer at the entrance of the music hall could recite these verses fluently.

The Zhilan Theater actually wove these poems into moving stories. For a time, high-ranking officials and nobles who loved to listen to opera, and even the wives of high-ranking officials, all greatly admired the Grand Scholar of the Literary Academy!

The young master and the woman in red have a deeply moving and passionate pursuit of love.

Su Xu was a very popular figure, and many versions of his relationship with his wife were even created. When Su Xu's wife heard these versions in the mansion, she first found them funny, but when she thought about how she and her husband had known each other for many years and had now walked hand in hand through half their lives, she felt very emotional.

In addition, the maid Jinling often told these touching stories circulating in the streets.

Not only did Su Xu's feelings for his wife gradually warm up, but Su Xu's wife also frequently shed tears.

Once, when Su Xu returned to the mansion, Madam Su immediately took his hand and said, "Master, look, it's snowing today."

Su Xu nodded. He was also quite tired from teaching the children at the academy recently.

Then his wife said, "If we are together in the snow one day, we will have grown old together in this life. My lord, I have never regretted marrying you, and I have worked hard to bear your children."

Su Xu was also deeply moved and went over to take his wife's hand in his own.

"Madam, you've worked hard." With that, the two of them stood together outside the veranda to watch the snow.

Early the next morning

"Ah."

When Xu Tian saw Su Xu, he noticed that Su Xu's face was flushed.

"Is Master Su catching a cold?"

Su Xu pulled Yang Zhao into the nearby pavilion and said, "Nowadays, everyone in Chang'an knows all the poems."

The female students at the school kept asking me questions every day, and Master Xu wouldn't allow me to explain the origins of these poems and texts to everyone in detail.

Therefore, I feel somewhat uneasy these days that people regard me as an idol, or even someone they respect.

My relationship with my wife was better then, but after a while, it became unbearable. Perhaps Master Yang could tell me the truth.
