Chapter 123: Maybe the peacock has spread its tail

Gu Tinglan ran over happily, and behind her followed Gu Yucheng, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding gifts of various sizes in his hands.

Song Shiwei stood up and walked over to greet them, and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to become your disciple."

Gu Tinglan explained her purpose and looked at Song Shiwei seriously and said, "Sister Song, please accept me as your disciple and teach me to read."

Song Shiwei was a little surprised. She glanced at Gu Yucheng who was standing next to Gu Tinglan and asked suspiciously, "Will you take me as your master?"

Gu Yucheng coughed lightly and said, "Ever since this girl saw you parading as the top scholar, she has been obsessed with taking the top scholar exam.

But she never liked studying since she was young, and her father sent her to Chengwen Academy just to kill time.

It's rare that she has finally come to her senses and wants to study hard. She insists on coming to you to become her disciple."

Song Shiwei: "..."

She asked Gu Tinglan, "Didn't Master Tao pass the women's exam just like me? Why did you want to become my disciple?"

Gu Tinglan said: "That's different, I was less than ten years old when Master Tao was in high school.

I didn’t understand anything at that time, but now you are the person I admire most.”

Song Shiwei noticed that the girl's eyes were sparkling when she looked at her.

After all, she is the eldest daughter who grew up in a marquis's mansion, ignorant of worldly affairs, simple and lovely.

She was able to divorce her husband smoothly thanks to the help of Yongning Hou, so she couldn't refuse Gu Tinglan's request.

She said, "It's rare that you have the ambition to study hard, but forget about becoming my disciple. I'm afraid you'll mislead the students. If you want to study, come here and I'll teach you."

Gu Tinglan's eyes lit up: "That's great, thank you Sister Song."

Song Shiwei pulled her to sit down, poured her a cup of tea and said, "Didn't you say before that your mother was helping you find a husband?

You're going to get married soon, and you still want to take the imperial examination?"

“I used to think that studying was useless, as I had no worries about wealth and honor given my family background.

Even though I am illiterate, there are still people willing to marry me, and no one dares to look down on me.

But I see another way of living in you, Sister Song.

A brilliant life that can shine brightly on your own, without relying on family background or husband's family. "

Gu Tinglan had never thought before that a woman could be so dazzling on her own. She saw a different kind of light in Song Shiwei.

This light made her feel that the previous fifteen years of her life had been wasted.

Song Shiwei looked at Gu Tinglan, her eyes full of relief and said, "I'm glad you think so."

Gu Tinglan giggled, she took a sip of the tea that Song Shiwei poured for her, and asked in surprise: "Sister Song, what kind of tea is this? It tastes so unique, I have never tasted it before."

She said to Gu Yucheng: "Brother, you try it too."

Gu Yucheng picked up the tea in front of him, sniffed it, and then took a sip. It was indeed different from the tea he had tasted before. He asked, "What kind of tea is this?"

Song Shiwei said: "This is not some precious tea, it is a very common weed in the countryside and mountains, called puddles.

This dandelion has a very strong vitality. I like to use it to make tea. If you like it, you can take some back."

Gu Yucheng looked down at the tea leaves floating in the cup and asked, "How did you acquire such great piano skills and knowledge in the countryside?"

"Of course I have a master to teach me, can I learn it on my own?"

Song Shiwei's beautiful eyes moved as she explained with a smile: "These hermits usually live in the mountains, and I was lucky enough to learn a little bit."

Gu Yucheng smiled slightly, looked at her and said, "You are too modest."

If what she knows is just the basics, how can others live?

Song Shiwei was stunned for a moment. She was used to Gu Yucheng's stern face, so she found his smile strange.

She leaned close to Gu Tinglan's ear and whispered, "Did your brother take the wrong medicine? Doesn't he know how to laugh?"

Gu Tinglan suppressed her laughter and replied, "Maybe it's the peacock spreading its tail."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yucheng glanced over with a cold look.

Even though they spoke in a low voice, he could still hear them because he had sharp ears and eyes since he was a child.

What does it mean that he is a peacock spreading his tail? It is because his sister said that no girl would like him if he had a stern face all day long, so he smiled.

With a depressed look on his face, he picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip of tea. Suddenly, he felt as if someone was spying on him, and there was a hint of murderous intent in the breath.

Gu Yucheng immediately became alert and raised his cold eyes to look towards the room not far away.

There's someone there!

If the person inside had not shown hostility, he would not have been able to detect it. This shows how high his martial arts skills are. But what exactly is his intention in hiding in Song Shiwei's room?

Is it...

Gu Yucheng narrowed his eyes, then used his internal energy to throw the cup in his hand toward the window.

However, before the cup touched the window, it was sent back by an internal force.

Gu Yucheng caught the flying cup, and with a snap, the cup broke in his hand, and the tea soaked his clothes.

Song Shiwei quickly stood up and asked, "Master Gu, are you okay?

I'm really sorry that the person in the room is my friend, but he doesn't like to socialize with others, so he shocked the prince."

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Yucheng swept the crumbs off his hands and said, "I was too abrupt. I thought there was an assassin hiding in the room."

Gu Tinglan blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "Sister Song, is he a martial arts master? He looks really powerful. Can I become his disciple and learn martial arts?"

Song Shiwei: "..."

Why does the little girl want to learn everything?

Gu Yucheng glanced at his sister and said, "People like you are the ones who overestimate their own abilities. Okay, stop disturbing Miss Song and let's go."

Gu Tinglan curled her lips, and she looked at Song Shiwei reluctantly and said, "Sister Song, I will come to see you tomorrow."

She waved to Song Shiwei and followed Gu Yucheng.

The brother and sister left the top scholar's mansion.

Gu Tinglan asked worriedly, "Brother, who do you think is in Sister Song's room? Could it be that she already has a lover?

I wonder what kind of man can catch Sister Song's eye?"

She touched her chin, very curious about the man hiding in Song Shiwei's room.

Gu Yucheng had a cold face and said nothing. That man's martial arts skills were extremely high, at least better than his, and he and Song Shiwei must have a special relationship.

You have to know that a woman’s boudoir is not open to just anyone.

He looked back at the Zhuangyuan Mansion behind him. If he remembered correctly, the residence of Prince Ling was in front of this house.

Although the two mansions are not on the same street, they are next to each other.

Is it possible...

Gu Yucheng frowned and his eyes turned a little colder. Was that person Prince Ling Xiao Jingheng?

Why him?

He clenched his fists, then turned around and got on the carriage with a look of anger.
