The Yang family has suffered a fire and is still being repaired. These days, the family of three also lives in the academy.

Although their family members did not know the true identities of Shen Yangui and his wife, they clearly felt that they were not ordinary people.

Yang Shu was still an unmarried girl. This was the first time she saw such a scene. Mo Chengying's nonsense words echoed in her ears, and her face was on fire.

"me……"

She didn't dare to raise her head, and said, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. My mother asked me to bring some rice dumplings. I accidentally dropped them because of my clumsiness. I, I'm going to get them again now."

As she spoke, she took the tray and left as if running away.

Mo Chengying was not affected and continued deep into the hinterland, but was held up by Shen Yangui's hands.

He was a little dissatisfied, "Isn't he already gone?"

"He's waiting at the door. He probably has something to say."

"What can be bigger than your husband?"

Mo Chengying hugged her and leaned forward. Shen Yangui's center of gravity was unsteady, he put his hands on the table and said hurriedly:

"Two springs."

"She can stay wherever she wants, no problem."

"Three springs!"

"I want it now."

"Until you are satisfied!"

Mo Chengying said meaningfully: "I'm afraid you'll be tired."

"Okay! I'll take the initiative."

"It's not a matter of initiative..."

"Study to bedroom?"

"I just went out and got a strange new book..."

Shen Yangui punched him in shame, "How come there is such a thing in the academy? How dare you take it back."

Mo Chengying's face was full of innocence, "Where are you thinking, madam?"

"no?"

"Yes." Mo Chengying bit her ear and whispered, "How about reading with my wife tonight, from the study to the bedroom, until I am satisfied?"

The sound of the two flirting together, mixed with the sound of rain, fell into Yang Shu's ears. She stood at the door holding a tray, and the wet wind hit her face, which was actually warm.

Mo Chengying's complaint soon came from inside, "If I had known Qingshuang was so unreliable, I wouldn't have brought her out."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yan was heard returning to the outside and saying, "Miss Yang Shu, come in."

The joints of Yang Shu's hands holding the tray turned white for a while, and then relaxed again. After she came in, she subconsciously looked in the direction of the bookcase just now.

The bamboo curtain was half hung, leaving only half of Mo Chengying's back.

"He's reading."

Shen Yangui followed Yang Shu's gaze and poured himself a cup of tea.

Yang Shu came back to his senses instantly, "I'm not looking at the young master."

If she hadn't said this, Shen Yan would not have thought much about it, and would have just thought that she had a subconscious reaction of being frightened when she suddenly saw such a lively scene at such a young age.

But if she said this more, she would also reveal her purpose.

Shen Yangui took a sip of tea, pretending he didn't know what to do, and said:

"Your father and mother asked you to come here, but something happened?"

Yang Shu's face, which had finally calmed down, became darker again. She put down the tray and said, "Sending rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival."

"anything else?"

"Exorcism sachet."

Yang Shu took out a purse from his arms and offered it with both hands.

The purse is embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Shen Yangui was naturally not stupid enough to think that this was given to her. She never reached out to take it and said:

"Do you know the meaning of gifting a sachet?"

Yang Shu nodded and said timidly, "The young master and his wife have been kind to my Yang family, and our family has nothing to repay. My father and mother said that as long as the madam does not dislike it, let the little girl stay with the young master and the young master and his wife for the rest of her life." The people around me... act like cows and horses."

She didn't want to be a cow or a horse, but she wanted to commit herself to Mo Chengying.

"You want it too?"

Yang Shu didn't understand and raised his head with a confused expression, "What?"

Shen Yangui did not mince words and said directly: "You are a good girl from an innocent family, but you are willing to be a concubine for someone so unclear?"

Who would be a decent girl willing to be a concubine?

When Yang Shu heard the word "concubine", she was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look at Shen Yangui. She hurriedly explained, stammering.

"The little girl is not here to separate the wife and the young master. No, I don't want to be a concubine. I can be a maid. The little girl has learned a few words from her father. She can serve the pen and ink, or do some menial work. It's... It’s all okay.”

"Being kind is always virtuous, but who said that repaying kindness has to be done with your body?"

Shen Yangui knew that Yang Shu did not have the ambition to climb up to the dragon or the phoenix, nor did he covet the beauty of his father-in-law, so naturally he would not be hostile to her.

Seeing that she was nervous, he deliberately teased and calmed down, "If everyone is like you, the woman promises him and the man promises me, how can we dare to do good things when we go out in the future?"

Yang Shu looked slightly embarrassed, "But... we don't have anything valuable anymore that we can use to repay our two benefactors."

"I have something I want to ask you for help with."

"I don't want to be a help. Madam, if you have anything to do, just ask me." Yang Shu looked pious, "My little girl will do her best and work hard to complete it."

"From what you just said, do you understand poetry and calligraphy?"

“I’ve read some and can also write.”

Shen Yangui nodded and expressed satisfaction, "Miss Cheng family intends to open a girls' school in Chunshan Academy and plans to teach it herself. Are you willing to come to the academy to help her?"

"Me?" Yang Shu pointed his index finger at himself, "Can I?"

Shen Yangui's eyes confirmed, "Be a student first, take care of the chores, and study under Miss Cheng. If you pass the exam tomorrow, you can also become a doctor."

"PhD?!!"

Yang Shu's mouth was so big that he could fit an egg in, "I, I, I heard from my father that he is a doctor from the Imperial College in Beijing. He specializes in teaching and lectures. He is knowledgeable about the past and the present. I am just a little girl. I..."

"What about women?"

Shen Yangui looked at her and said in a strong voice: "As long as you want, women can stand upright and have their own ambitions."

"Standing upright? Ambitious?"

Yang Shu had never associated these two words with women.

She was both looking forward to it and afraid at the same time, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.

I can't believe it, I can't believe it at all.

"Your younger brother and younger sister are deceased. You are the eldest daughter and your parents' hope. Naturally, this job will not be in vain for you."

Shen Yangui thought for a moment and said, "I will discuss it with Miss Cheng later. If you do a good job, you will receive two taels of silver per month, and you will have room and board in the academy. When you become a doctor in the future, your money will be doubled. How about that?"

"Two liang?!!"

How many handkerchiefs does she have to embroider to earn two taels of silver?

Twenty taels a month means twenty-four taels a year. In this way, she can support their family by herself.

This was a life that Yang Shu had never imagined. She covered her mouth with her left hand, and for a moment, covered it with her right hand again.

As if in a dream, she couldn't help but pinch herself: it hurt.

Yang Shu's eyes filled with tears: "Madam, are you serious?"

Shen Yan returned and smiled, "If you don't believe it, I will call Miss Cheng here now."

"Oh no no no no no no no..."

Yang Shu shook out the residual image with his hands. It was the daughter of the Shang Shu family. How could it be that ordinary people like him could see it if they wanted to see it? "I believe what Madam said! I am cheap, I don't need two taels of silver, just one tael is enough." ”

After thinking for a while, he added: "It's okay if you don't give me any money, just take care of the food."

Shen Yangui saw that she looked really cute, but this idea was unacceptable.

"Anyone can look down on you, but you can't." She corrected her one by one, "What's not yours, don't take any of it, what's yours, don't give in an inch, you know?"

It was clearly raining outside, but Yang Shu seemed to see light in Shen Yangui.

"But..." Yang Shu summoned up the courage to say, "But we women are born to have children. In the future, we will be raising husbands and children in the backyard. What can we do by studying?"
