Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 1890: Chapter 171: The Gathering Storm! Shouzhe’s Ambition

…

Wang Shouzhe’s small courtyard is perpetually like spring, with various exotic flowers vying to bloom, creating a breathtaking view.

At this moment, Wang Shouzhe is lounging in a wicker Taishi Chair, tapping a fan in his hand, with a thoughtful expression.

Ever since he traveled through time, he has lived in this small courtyard, not even moving after getting married. His small courtyard and old-fashioned stories have accompanied the growth of generations of children in the family.

“Husband, try these Spirit Crystal Grapes.” Liu Ruolan personally peeled a few grapes, feeding them into his mouth with her fair, slender fingers, speaking with a hint of flattery in her tone, “These are a new variety grown by An’er in the Dalara Oasis, specially chilled and sent for us to try, don’t let down the child’s filial piety.”

“Not eating.” Wang Shouzhe said haughtily.

“Husband, I admit I was wrong this time.” Liu Ruolan coaxed softly, making a difficult decision, “For the next three months, no, two months, fine, one month I won’t play mahjong, and I’ll focus on staying home with you.”

“Hmph~” Wang Shouzhe turned his head away.

“Fine, fine, I’ll wholeheartedly accompany you in the Carry-on Cave Mansion for a month, okay?” Liu Ruolan’s eyes shone brightly, with a slight sparkle in her gaze, “You can do whatever you want, and we can also advance the progress of the Golden Toad Codex.”

Wang Shouzhe’s expression changed slightly, hastily retreating: “Fine, fine, I forgive you. I’ve been too busy with work lately, and can’t afford to be lazy for a whole month.”

“Then twenty days.”

“Ruolan, if you’re really bored, go play mahjong.”

“Wang Shouzhe, what do you mean? Do you find me old? Unattractive? Ten days, not a day less.”

As the atmosphere gradually tensed, with a hint of domestic violence brewing, the voice of Emperor Zi’an sounded again at the gate of the small courtyard.

“Shouzhe, is Shouzhe at home?”

“…” Upon hearing this voice, Wang Shouzhe not only didn’t get annoyed but instead, as if hearing a celestial voice, immediately perked up, pressing the armrest of the rattan chair to get up, “My dear, you hear that? It must be Emperor Zi’an encountering trouble again. The nation’s affairs take precedence, dear.”

“Wang Shouzhe, we’ve been married for almost two hundred years!” Liu Ruolan looked at him, with a cold aura suddenly rising from her body, “Blink your eyes, and I know what you’re thinking. Just yesterday, you were complaining about Emperor Zi’an’s clinginess, saying he’s more annoying than Liu Bei with his daily whining… By the way, who is Liu Bei?”

Wang Shouzhe’s motion to get up suddenly froze.

Wang Shouzhe slowly sat back down, maintaining a calm expression, speaking righteously: “My dear is right to criticize. Without the small family, how can there be a big family? Emperor Zi’an has to be left aside for a while, to prevent him from getting out of hand all the time. I’ll now accompany you to the Carry-on Cave Mansion for a few days of leisure.”

“A few days of leisure?”

“Is five days okay?”

“At least ten days.”

“Seven days, no more than seven days. Teng Er is still young, and we can’t leave him with the Clan School and Liling for an extended period. As a couple, we must show some responsibility.”

A moment passed.

Finally, Emperor Zi’an, who had been left hanging at the small courtyard entrance for ages, was invited in by the maidservant.

“Where is Shouzhe?” As soon as Emperor Zi’an entered, he began looking around for any trace of Wang Shouzhe.

“Reporting to Your Highness.” The maidservant, who was also accustomed to grand scenes, gracefully saluted Emperor Zi’an and explained, “The Family Head and his wife have gone wandering, saying they’ll be back in seven days.”

“At a crucial moment, Wang Shouzhe has no sense of loyalty.” Emperor Zi’an exclaimed with indignation, plopping down into the Taishi Chair, “For these seven days, I’m going nowhere, I’ll wait for him here.”

“Your Highness…” the maid looked embarrassed.

“What do you mean by ’Your Highness’? Back then, it was that brat Wang Shouzhe who lured me onto this pirate ship. Now at this crucial moment, how can I let him easily be hands-off?” Emperor Zi’an waved impatiently, “I won’t make things difficult for you, just have someone set up a tent in the courtyard for me and make a bedding too.”

“…”

The maid was stunned by Emperor Zi’an’s sheer audacity.

…

Wang Family School, elementary class.

The so-called “elementary class” is a class for children before entering the Elementary Clan School, generally comprising children under ten from the Wang family.

Usually, the children’s enlightenment can be done by the parents. If the parents are too busy or don’t know how to teach, they can send them to a unified preschool class to receive standardized enlightenment education.

At the age of eight, after the first round of aptitude testing, children who have reached the formal learning and cultivation age are sent to the elementary class to begin receiving clan school education and simultaneously learn how to cultivate.

To let children interact more with their peers during their childhood, the elementary class has never been split into sub-classes; eligible ones come in, and those who have passed assessments are sent to the Elementary Clan School for formal education.

As for those who haven’t passed the assessment, naturally, they stay and continue learning.

As a result, the elementary class has expanded again and again, now reaching over sixty people.

One of the teachers responsible for the elementary class is the model teacher, Mr. Bear.

This Yao Earth Giant Bear, picked up by Wang Shouzhe on his way out of the capital, is born with a clumsy yet adorable demeanor, quite blessed-looking, possessing excellent affinity, and thus was appointed to manage the children.

Additionally, some patient and loving young women from within the Wang family choose to join the elementary class as teachers after graduating. It can be said that in the entire Wang Family School, the pretty young ladies of the elementary class are the most gentle.
