Traveling through ancient times

Qin Zhongming looked at Gu Dalian who was supporting Feng Qinglan, feeling somewhat puzzled!

"Feng girl, this child looks like you. Is she the granddaughter you mentioned?..."

"Teacher, I met this girl on the road. We are destined to be together, so I will recognize her as my granddaughter!... Look at that boy again~~"

Feng Qinglan smiled and said, "...Take a look..."

Qin Zhongming followed Feng Qinglan's signal and looked at Gu Wenzhi, and couldn't help but say:

"…This…Shuhe's…"

Gu Wenzhi stepped forward and saluted:

"I am Gu Wenzhi, from Shannan County, and I am here to meet the Grand Tutor!"

"Your last name is Gu?"

Qin Zhongming suppressed his doubts and looked at the gift on the ground next to him. The smell of wine came from there!

Gu Dalian hurried forward, opened the gift box, opened one of the cans, and chuckled:

"Grandpa, this is the wine made by a hermit master that my second brother and I met in Yingdang Mountain when we were fleeing. My brother and I begged and pleaded for it... Grandma said that you are an expert in alcohol, so I sent it to you for a taste!"

Qin Zhongming saw that this girl spoke very much like Feng Qinglan when she was young, and he liked her very much and said:

"You are such a good talker, I'll take the wine!...Hahahaha...Girl Feng, you have a good eye..."

Several people sat on the stone benches, and Feng Qinglan said again:

"Teacher, Wenzhi is a very talented writer. He won the first place in the provincial examination this time. However, if he returns to Shannan, he will have to take the imperial examination in August, which is a bit far. So I thought it would be better for him to review his studies with you. Please give him some guidance when you have time!"

"That's easy. I have to test his knowledge first!"

So, Gu Dalian accompanied Feng Qinglan for a walk in the manor, Gu Wenzhi stayed to wait for Qin Zhongming's test, and Gu Lun also stayed! !

Zhuangzi is very big and has a pond. New lotus leaves are curled up just out of the water. Some are like horns, and some are half-open. Pairs of dragonflies are playing in the water!

It reminded Gu Dalian of the line "The little lotus has just shown its pointed tip, and a dragonfly has already landed on it!"

There were fish in the water blowing bubbles towards the surface, and there were tenants planting something in the fields nearby!

Everyone walked and stopped, and after only walking a small part of the way, which was more than half an hour, they took a shortcut and returned. The sun was too strong and Feng Qinglan had limited physical strength, and it took almost an hour and a half to get back to the original place!

"Feng girl, just leave these two boys here. I will teach them together without any difficulty!"

Qin Zhongming's joy was beyond words as if he had found a treasure. Then he saw Gu Dalian and Qi Huli and others running out. After a while, everyone brought in a lot of things in big and small baskets!

Qin Zhongming: ...

It seems that Feng Yatou has already made up her mind that she will keep these two children...

"Grandpa, you will not suffer any loss if you accept my second elder brother and my younger brother. When they succeed in their studies, they will definitely be filial to you. And I... I will also be filial to you..."

Gu Dalian happily patted Qin Zhongming's chest and assured him:

"From now on, I will supply you with wine, and I guarantee that you will live up to your reputation as a wine fairy!"

"... Oh, don't brag, little girl. I can't enjoy every meal without wine. Can you afford it?"

Qin Zhongming thought Gu Dalian was cute and wanted to tease the little girl, but he didn't expect Gu Dalian to walk directly to a basket, lift the brocade covering it, revealing what was inside!

"Grandpa, look, there's enough wine here for you to drink for a month, and it's different every day!"

Everyone looked over and saw all kinds of wine jars with words on them: Fenjiu, Erguotou, Zhuyeqing, Xifeng, Huangjiu, Wuliangye, Luzhou Jiu, Xinghuacun, Kongfujiajiu, Changzhou wine, Gujinggong, Jiujiu, Mongolian wine...

There are even foreign liquors such as vodka and brandy!

"...Little girl...you...for this wine...even if your brothers are useless, I will cultivate them into towering trees...~"

Gu Dalian was happy: You see, everyone has his own weaknesses. As long as you grasp his weaknesses, there is no need to worry that he will not obey you. The future of the second brother and the younger brother will be secured!

The gifts for the two of them to become apprentices were already prepared and ready to be taken!

Celery: It means being diligent and studious, and diligence leads to excellence.

Lotus seeds: The heart of lotus seeds is bitter, which symbolizes painstaking education.

Red beans: symbolize good luck.

Red dates: means getting into high school early.

Longan: It means complete merit and virtue.

Dried lean meat strips: to express the disciple’s gratitude.

After receiving the tuition, Qin Zhongming gave the two men gifts in return, including "The Analects of Confucius", onions, celery, etc. At the same time, he led the two men to recite "The First Chapter of the Great Learning" together, symbolizing the important responsibility of "preaching, imparting knowledge, and resolving doubts."

After having dinner at the villa, Gu Wenzhi and Gu Lun stayed at the villa and officially became Qin Zhongming’s closed disciples!

Watching their grandmother and sister ride away in the carriage, the two of them secretly made up their minds to study hard and never let the two of them down!

Back at Li's house, Gu Dalian touched her chest and pouted to Feng Qinglan:

"Grandma, I feel empty here, as if a lot of things are missing! Sigh..."

It made everyone laugh!

Feng Qinglan patted her forehead and said angrily:

"You clever little devil, I'll make up for what you're missing in the future. When you open your store, I'll go and support you!"

Gu Dalian rubbed Feng Qinglan's shoulder affectionately and said:

"Grandma...when the time comes, please give me more gifts, and that missing piece in your granddaughter's heart will be filled!"

Everyone laughed and talked again!

At this time, Feng Meir was throwing things around in her room:

"...bitch, bitch...I must teach you a lesson...You come to see my great-aunt every now and then, you really think of yourself as my granddaughter...I won't let you have your wish..."

Feng Meir has become much more cautious since she was punished to kneel in the quiet room. Whenever Gu Dalian and others came to the Duke's Mansion, she would try her best to avoid them. She didn't know how aggrieved she felt!

In fact, someone had already reported the noise in the backyard to Nanny Awei, so Feng Qinglan naturally knew about it too!

After seeing Gu Dalian off, Feng Qinglan left only Aunt Awei in the room and sighed:

"Awei... do you think... a person's character has something to do with what they inherit from their parents?"

This Feng Yuzhi married his mother's distant niece, the daughter of a sixth-rank official. She looked good, but she was very two-faced!

Without waiting for Awei to answer, he continued:

"...The eldest sister-in-law is a dagger hidden in her smile, and her daughter-in-law is also short-sighted. Now she has taught Meier to become even more arrogant..."

"...Awei...you said...back then the Duke and his men died...I...now that I think about it, I always feel like something is wrong!"

Auntie Awei was silent for a moment before she said:

"Miss, if you have any doubts, let's solve this problem. I will send someone to investigate secretly..."

Aunt Awei hesitated to speak, causing Feng Qinglan to frown:

"You old man, just say what you want to say, don't learn those tricks of beating around the bush!"

Auntie Awei concentrated and said, "You have been in danger several times. I always feel that it is not accidental..."
