The mistress of the Hou family worked herself to death, and she did not serve after her rebirth

Pei Jiuniang's encouraging eyes gave Yu Ge a surge of courage. He took the book bag and walked step by step towards the room where the teacher was giving lectures. During the process, he looked back at Pei Jiuniang many times. Pei Jiuniang had been standing there waving at him.

She could see the worry and fear in Brother Yu's eyes, but she knew he had to take this step.

Her brother Yu is talented, but he must learn how to deal with people.

He is the future marquis. Even if he cannot follow in his father's footsteps and lead troops, he still needs to meet people and speak to them when he becomes a civil servant in the Hanlin Cabinet.

In the previous life, when Brother Yu was taking care of her, he once said that he could write very good articles and could express his thoughts in words, but he could not speak as fluently as Gu Xijue in front of others.

Although he was unwilling to let Gu Xijue and Gu Yuzhi take away his articles and poems, he actually felt that it was a good thing for his articles and poems to be valued rather than being covered in dust.

Just seeing them getting praise for his things, didn't he feel sad?

She didn't want what happened in her previous life to happen again, so even though she was worried about Brother Yu, she had to grit her teeth and bear it.

But she was still worried, so she stood there silently until Yu Ge's figure disappeared, then she quietly walked to the back of the school and looked inside while hiding her body.

On the first day when new students go there, the teacher always asks them to introduce themselves. Yu Ge stood beside the teacher, with his head lowered, and didn't say anything for a long time. The teacher's face already showed impatience, and Pei Jiuniang also secretly held her breath.

She had clearly already found the school's manager and informed him of Brother Yu's special circumstances so that they could skip this step.

She didn't know what went wrong, but seeing Brother Yu standing there nervously and at a loss, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and the handkerchief in her hand was deformed by her.

Just when she couldn't help but rush in to bring Brother Yu out, Zhu Ci took the initiative to stand up and said, "He is Gu Yu from Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. Brother Yu, where were you reading the book you borrowed from me last time? I have already finished it."

Hearing the familiar voice of his friend, Brother Yu slowly raised his head. Seeing the smile on Zhu Ci's face, his heart suddenly relaxed. Thinking about what he had read, he couldn't help but recite it aloud, "Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass."

Although the voice was very small and there was a pause in the middle, Pei Jiuniang heard it clearly.

For a moment, her tears almost welled up.

Her child, Yu Ge, finally took the first step.

"Yes, you are the young master of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. By the way, I remember your mother's family name is Pei. The late old Master Pei was a great scholar, so his descendants must be right. Since you are familiar with the young master of the Zhu family, you can sit behind him."

Hearing this, Gu Yu was delighted at first, then he saluted the teacher and walked over.

In the first class, the teacher only taught some simple words and asked everyone to practice on paper.

Most of them wrote crookedly, but a few of them, who must have been taught by their families, wrote fairly well. When they came to Gu Yu, the teacher had no hope at first, but when he saw that he held the pen accurately and wrote every stroke, he was still a little surprised. However, the handwriting was not good-looking, so he frowned slightly.

Gu Yu paused when he was about to write, and the ink bled out. The teacher hurriedly reminded him, "It bled out."

Brother Yu got so anxious that he almost knocked over the inkstone, and it was the teacher who helped him up again.

The teacher seemed to know that the child was a little nervous because of him. He couldn't help but recall that he had heard someone mention that the son of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion didn't seem to be very smart. He couldn't help but sigh and continued to look at the next student.

Gu Yu knew that the teacher must not have a good impression of him, and he suddenly felt aggrieved. Tears welled up in his eyes and almost fell onto the paper.

Looking at the excellent rice paper, he remembered that it was bought by his mother. He immediately raised his sleeve to wipe it clean. Looking at the brush, ink, paper and inkstone, he remembered what his mother told him, "If you are not happy, just write well."

Gu Yu grabbed the pen and started writing again. It was still the same few words, and they were still ugly, but each time, it seemed to be better than before.

By the time he had written several full pages, it seemed very different, but still far inferior to the Master's.

He remembered what his mother had said, "Practicing calligraphy is not a one-day job. You cannot focus on the beauty of the characters and forget that the original purpose of learning calligraphy is to understand the knowledge in the book and achieve the goal of understanding the obscure."

So, when he felt he had mastered it, he began to practice other characters that his mother had taught him before.

Master Liu walked past him again and glanced at him casually. This time he was a little surprised. "I haven't taught you how to write yet. Did your family teach you?"

"Reply, report back, Master, my mother just taught me a few days ago."

Brother Yu still had trouble speaking. He couldn't say too many words each time and spoke a little slowly, but he still made his point clear.

"Oh, it turns out to be the Marquis's wife. She is a daughter of the Pei family, so she must have some knowledge."

"Yeah." Perhaps because he heard the teacher praising his mother, Gu Yu felt very happy and a little bolder. He raised his head slightly and smiled at the teacher.

Master Liu couldn't help laughing when he saw the bright and pleasing look of the little child.

Although he was a Jinshi, he worked as a teacher in the school because he was unfamiliar with officialdom. His students were all children of officials and wealthy businessmen in the capital, and all of them were the little ancestor of the family. They called him "teacher" on the surface, but they also showed some respect for teachers and education.

So, when he saw Gu Yu like this, he was surprised, but also felt a little fond of him.

Moreover, he also felt that the rumors might not be true. Take Gu Yu for example. Although he was less clever than other young masters, he was more determined and hardworking. Of course, he was also quite smart.

A good teacher always likes good students. He couldn't control other children who were naughty, so he simply taught Gu Yu a few more words.

When Zhu Ci saw the Master teaching Gu Yu, he also came over. The two seemed to be competing secretly, which surprised Master Liu even more.

Zhu Ci was considered the most serious student in the school, but even so, he still liked to hang out with others. But since Gu Yu came, he was able to sit down.

After Gu Tingzhi returned home, he went to the Ministry of War to take up a vacant position and was temporarily responsible for patrolling and guarding near the capital. It happened that a group of thieves had been causing trouble recently, so he led his troops to suppress the bandits and was away for half a month.

In the past half month, he thought more than once of the meeting scene with Pei Jiuniang on the day he came back, as well as his only son Yu Ge, Liu Shi and the two adopted children.

He could sense that his mother was not very kind to Pei Jiuniang and Yu Ge, and could even be said to have a lot of complaints against Pei Jiuniang.

This surprised him.

After all, it was Liu who forced him to marry Pei Jiuniang, and he was full of praise when he mentioned Pei Jiuniang.

He also thought about the changes in Pei Jiuniang. It seemed that since Liu wrote to say that she wanted to adopt Gu Huan's two children, he had never received any letters or things from Pei Jiuniang.

He wondered, could it be that Pei Jiuniang was unhappy because he agreed to take in the two children?

But he couldn't understand why. It's not like the Marquis's Mansion couldn't afford to raise two children.

It was not until he heard others say that someone had a mistress and even brought the mistress's child home and told his wife that the child was adopted that he suddenly realized what was going on. He finally got some time off and hurriedly planned to return to the Marquis' Mansion to find a chance to explain to her.

His former good friend reminded him to bring gifts for his wife and children. Then he remembered that he had been away for five years and had not brought anything for her and the children. He thought the Marquis's Mansion had everything, and he didn't understand children and women's things. His good friend said that if he did that, his sister-in-law would definitely not let him into the room.

He recalled how she was so cold that day that she not only refused to let him into the house, but she also hated not knowing him.

And she cursed him in her dreams.

Thinking of this, he made a special trip to the market and bought some toys for the child. Fearing that his mother, Mrs. Liu, would make things difficult for him, he also gave Mrs. Liu some.
