Chapter 142 Is there a treasure hidden under the bed?
It turns out that she also works twice as hard in private.
No teacher would dislike a diligent and studious disciple, and my grandfather is no exception.
He exhaled slowly, motioned for Gu Yuexuan to sit down, and said gently, "Don't you like listening to history lectures? Then, let's start from here, gradually go deeper, and explain it to you slowly."
"Go call Bo'er, Minyang and the others over. When you have free time, you can gather together and listen."
Tu Su's private lecture hall quietly opened in the house, and a group of children looked up and listened attentively.
When Yu saw this, she couldn't help but laugh.
She whispered to Xi Lanfang, "Look, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought we had opened a private school."
It is undeniable that the way these children study is truly amazing.
Xi Lanfang watched Tu Su Yunxi trying to sit upright on the small stool, her ears perked up, but she still felt a little hazy. She said softly, "That's good too. This is a rare blessing for the children."
If it were in Kyoto, there would be countless scholars and students who were eager to become the disciples of the old grandfather, but many of them did not even have the chance to listen to a few words of his teachings. How could the old grandfather have the leisure to gather the younger generations together and personally guide them?
Even for women, it is beneficial to listen and learn more.
The primary school class came to a temporary end. After dinner, the children reviewed their homework and digested the knowledge they had learned.
Gu Yuexuan's mind seemed to split into two worlds. On one side was the vivid and interesting historical stories told by her grandfather, and on the other side was her enthusiasm in concentrating on building the greenhouse.
Gu Yuexuan thought clearly, sorting out her thoughts one by one. Then she tilted her head, looked at Tu Subo with shining eyes, and suddenly had an idea: "Tu Subo, do you think that when we have more money, can we open a private school for our grandfather in the village?"
"Open a private school?"
Tu Subo's expression was a little surprised: "Why did you suddenly come up with this idea?"
Gu Yuexuan gently propped her chin with the tip of the pen and said nonchalantly, "It was just a sudden flash of inspiration."
"Grandfather is a man of great learning and scholarship. Wouldn't it be a waste to leave such precious knowledge untold? When our financial situation improves, we can hire workers to help with the farming, and Grandfather won't have to spend so much time in the fields. Then, we can gather all the children in the village and invite Grandfather to teach them in person. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
With sufficient funds, he no longer needed to rely on tuition fees from the school to make a living. This simply allowed my grandfather to enjoy teaching and educating people in his spare time.
“That’s a really great idea.”
She observed her grandfather's expression and he seemed passionate about teaching the children.
Tu Subo was speechless for a moment, but after a moment he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your idea is indeed novel, but the specific implementation method still needs to follow grandfather's advice."
"However, if Grandfather knew that you had such an idea, he would surely be overjoyed."
Gu Yuexuan smiled, her fingers gently stroking the pen: "Actually, I'm quite happy too."
She had fought bravely on the road to study in her previous life, but she had always fought alone. She had never had a teacher to be grateful to, nor had she experienced the feeling of having her parents strictly supervise her homework.
As an orphan growing up in an orphanage, how can you find parents who care about your studies?
Now, she was being closely watched every day, and a god-level leader was providing her with one-on-one careful guidance. This novel feeling made her feel like she was in a complete family...
Tu Subo misunderstood the reason for her sigh and said after a moment of silence: "Actually, I have a secret. I was planning to tell you in a few days. Do you want to know it now?"
Gu Yuexuan looked at him curiously: "What secret?"
"Can I know?"
"Why can't you know?"
Tu Subo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed his nose lightly and pointed to the small cabinet where he kept his personal belongings. "Do you want to know now?"
"Well, why don't you take a look?"
His mysterious behavior attracted Gu Yuexuan's strong curiosity.
Gu Yuexuan walked forward hesitantly, full of doubts. She stretched out her fingers and gently flipped it, and what appeared before her was a small box that was only slightly wider than her two palms.
"What on earth is this?"
Tu Subo raised his eyebrows and said in a relaxed tone, "You might as well open it and take a look."
Gu Yuexuan glanced at him and was about to open the box, but unexpectedly, she accidentally flicked her sleeve and knocked Tu Subo's coat, which was hanging in the most conspicuous place, to the ground.
She bent down to pick it up, her eyes swept from bottom to top, and suddenly stopped at a corner under the bed, her eyes instantly frozen.
"Tu Subo."
Tu Subo noticed her strangeness and his heart tightened: "What's wrong?"
Gu Yuexuan pointed at the shadows under the bed and asked in confusion, "That pitch-black thing, is it your clothes? Don't you usually hang your clothes here? How did it get under the bed?"
She muttered as she tried to get closer, wanting to get to the bottom of the matter. Tu Subo thought of the clothes he had hastily hidden, stained with the mixed odor of alcohol, tobacco, and sweat from the gambling house. His heart tightened, and regardless of his frail body, he immediately jumped up, blocking Gu Yuexuan, and tightly grasped her shoulders with both hands, pulling her up.
That piece of clothing was what he wore when he was gambling, and it was filled with all kinds of unpleasant smells. If Gu Yuexuan smelled it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Gu Yuexuan asked doubtfully, "Why are you so uneasy?"
Tu Subo forced himself to remain calm, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth: "You misunderstood. How could I be uneasy?"
"Then why do you..."
"I'm just anxious for you to discover the mystery hidden within the box."
"Don't you want to reveal it right now?"
Gu Yuexuan blinked in confusion: "But..."
"No, but."
Tu Subo suddenly exerted force and picked up Gu Yuexuan from the ground like a chicken. He put one hand firmly around her waist and even took the time to take off her shoes!
Gu Yuexuan was pushed onto the bed, completely bewildered. Tu Subo pointed at the box in her hand, signaling her to open it: "Okay, now you can reveal the secret."
Under his urging gaze, Gu Yuexuan couldn't help but laugh.
"No, what's going on? Is there some treasure hidden under the bed? I'm not even allowed to take a look at it?"
As she spoke, she made a gesture as if to check under the bed, but Tu Subo, who had been waiting by the bed, immediately held her cheeks with both hands.
He had a half-smile on his face as he stared into Gu Yuexuan's astonished eyes. He chuckled and said, "Xuanxuan, I really don't want you to find out that as a man, I can be careless and hide dirty clothes under the bed. But if you insist on revealing this secret, I can't stop you."
