The village chief's wife exclaimed, "Oh, Yunxi, why did you buy such an expensive thing for Zhongsheng?"

"This is too expensive. The middle school students are still young and have just been sent to enlightenment. This, this... This makes us not know what to say."

The village head's wife was already very grateful to Old Man Lu and his family. If it weren't for them, Yuancheng and ** would have had stable jobs and how could they have the good life they have now?

Also, before Achuan and Yunxi went to the capital, they were given a full 100 taels of silver, saying it was for the middle school students’ studies!

Zhongsheng is still young, and his studies don’t cost much money at all. Now, Gu Yunxi has come back from the capital and bought him such good writing brushes, inkstones and inkstones. Gu Yunxi is so good to Zhongsheng that it is not an exaggeration to say that she is his real mother!

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Aunt, don't be embarrassed, just keep it. I just like Zhongsheng, and I am happy to buy things for him."

The village head's wife had no choice but to nod and told her grandson: "Zhongsheng, remember the kindness of your aunt Yunxi, okay? When you grow up, repay them."

Zhongsheng opened his grape-like eyes and nodded, not quite understanding: "Yes! When you grow up, you must be filial to Aunt Yunxi!"

His serious look made everyone in the house burst into laughter, and for a moment, the village chief's yard became lively.

The village chief's wife looked at Gu Yunxi as if she were her own daughter and spoke from the bottom of her heart.

"Thanks to you, our family is getting better and better. I don't have to worry about anything. But I have to watch Zhongsheng grow up day by day, and Yuancheng goes to work in the fields after eating every day. He talks less and is lonely. I feel sad."

Hearing the village head's wife mention Lu Yuancheng, Gu Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable and thought of what happened to Ren before.

However, Ren had already been divorced. Her divorce was actually a good thing for the village chief's family and Zhongsheng, otherwise the matter would have been discovered sooner or later. With such a mother, Zhongsheng's reputation would have been ruined in the future.

"Yunxi, you may not know this, but last month I heard someone say that Ren's parents had found someone for her to marry."

The village chief's wife couldn't help but sigh. She felt even more uncomfortable when she saw Zhongsheng playing with the writing brush, inkstone and inkstone that Gu Yunxi had given him with an innocent smile.

Poor child, he has lost his mother's love at such a young age. Alas!

Gu Yunxi was stunned. Ren had done such a thing, and anyone could find out by asking around. But she didn't expect that there would be someone willing to marry her?

She thought again, many men in the village are poor and cannot afford to marry a wife. A girl like Ren is still young. If the bride price is less, she can even have a few children with her!

"Aunt, don't worry. Brother Yuancheng is a capable man. His good luck is still to come!"

"And Zhongsheng, although he lost his mother, he still has a grandmother like you, a grandfather who loves him, and uncles and aunts, and a whole family who loves him!"

The village head's wife listened to Gu Yunxi's consolation and nodded: "That's right, Liang is also kind-hearted, and she loves Zhongsheng. What Niuniu has, Zhongsheng also has."

"One should not be too greedy. Alas, I am too greedy."

Gu Yunxi smiled and said nothing more.

After coming out of the village chief's house, Gu Yunxi strolled around the village again.

When the villagers saw her, they smiled warmly and took her to their homes to sit. In one family they sat for a stick of incense, and in another for quarter of an hour. Time passed very quickly.

Gu Yunxi could not resist the enthusiasm. After coming out of a house, she waved to others hurriedly, indicating that she was going home.

Tomorrow, she plans to follow Lu Jianchuan to Longquan Academy to visit the dean.

The fact that Lu Jianchuan was able to rank third in the imperial examination had a lot to do with the dean, so he had to go there no matter what.

"Wife, you're back. Why did you take so long? If you don't come back, I will go looking for you." Lu Jianchuan said with a smile while standing in the yard.

Gu Yunxi was a little embarrassed and said, "Come to think of it, nowadays the villagers are very enthusiastic when they see me."

Lu Jianchuan smiled and joked, "That's right, you are the wife of an official now."

Gu Yun smiled angrily and rolled her eyes at him.

On the second day, after breakfast, the couple drove the carriage directly to Longquan Academy.

Lu Jianchuan was very excited. When he saw Wei Xing, he couldn't help but bow deeply: "Dean..."

Gu Yunxi lagged behind him by half a step and bowed with a smile: "Hello, Dean."

Wei Xing had just come out of the school and returned to his residence. When he saw Lu Jianchuan coming with his wife, he immediately couldn't stop smiling.

"Jianchuan, Jianchuan's wife, come here, sit down, when did you come back?"

Lu Jianchuan replied respectfully, "I arrived home yesterday. The village is planning to celebrate for me with a banquet tomorrow. You must come."

"Go, I will definitely go!" Wei Xing's face was full of smiles. Lu Jianchuan was his proudest student. This kid had neglected his studies for several years, but after coming back to study again for only one year, he was already in high school.

Although he didn't like to join in the fun, he thought it would be nice to go and experience the buffet banquet held to celebrate Lu Jianchuan.

Seeing that he agreed so readily, Lu Jianchuan was very excited, and then he took out the Duqiu pear paste, a specialty that he brought back from the capital.

"Dean, I brought you ten bottles of Qiuli Paste. I heard that this is an old brand in Beijing."

Wei Xing was very happy and accepted it without any hesitation.

The two of them talked for a long time. Gu Yunxi sat quietly, occasionally saying a word or two. This went on for half a day.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Lu Jianchuan suggested: "Dean, how about we go to the restaurant outside for lunch?"

It's a rare opportunity to come back, so I should treat the dean to a meal. This was what Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi discussed on the way here.

Wei Xing was usually too lazy to go out, but now that Lu Jianchuan invited him, he smiled and agreed.

The three of them walked out of the academy and went to the largest Lianxiang Tower.

What a coincidence, I bumped into Manager Wu as soon as I arrived at Lianxiang Tower.

Shopkeeper Wu immediately stepped forward and greeted them warmly: "Hey, Master Lu, Madam Lu, you are back?"

Shopkeeper Wu was also an acquaintance. Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi nodded slightly and greeted him with a smile.

Shopkeeper Wu had never seen Wei Xing before, so he pointed at him and asked, "Who is this..."

"This is my teacher, the dean of Longquan Academy." Lu Jianchuan took the initiative to introduce.

Shopkeeper Wu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the dean of the famous Longquan Academy in Jihu Town would come to their restaurant, and he came with Young Master Lu!

Oh my God, Shopkeeper Wu felt like his brain wasn’t enough and he couldn’t recover from the surprise.

"Dear guest, please come to the private room on the second floor." Manager Wu suppressed his excitement and entertained him personally.

Lu Jianchuan, Gu Yunxi, and Wei Xing followed Manager Wu to the elegant seats on the second floor of Lianxiang Tower. They ordered a few dishes before Manager Wu left with a smile.
