204 Wife, I Promise You
The Qinghe Hall in the village, which was sponsored by the 30 families of Qinghe, had finally completed its construction.
Under the supervision of Bai Wutong, Chu Tianbao had already finished learning the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, and other basic books.
She planned to send him to school to study with the Qinghe students.
Even if Chu Tianbao could not recover his memories, he would become more mature every day and return to the level of a normal person.
She was going to make him a school bag and a stationery bag.
Chu Tianbao lay on the bed and stared at her sewing. “Wife, can’t you go to school with me?”
In this world, men were superior to women. Women could not go to school, and he had never heard of a precedent of women going to school.
If she wanted to go, Yang Quanzi would definitely not stop her. However, she did not have the ambition to become the female top scholar. If she had anything to ask, she could just ask Yang Quanzi or Cui Lingyi in private.
She smiled and said, “Only Tianbao needs to go. Wife still has to cultivate at home.”
Chu Tianbao moved closer to her. “Muzhi said that you can also learn martial arts at the school.” He really wanted her to go with him.
The corners of her mouth curled up. “Are they as good as Qingfeng?”
Qingfeng’s martial arts were second only to Chu Tianbao’s, but Chu Tianbao did not know how to teach her. Moreover, his heart ached for Bai Wutong. He did not want her to suffer at all during the training.
Qingfeng was different. She was extremely strict with Bai Wutong. Every time the close combat training ended, Bai Wutong would be covered in injuries. Chu Tianbao would cry every time he applied medicine on her.
Chu Tianbao pouted. “She’s too fierce.”
The corners of her mouth curled up. “A strict teacher will teach well. Tianbao will understand in the future.”
Chu Tianbao knew that she didn’t want to go to school, so he said in a negotiating tone, “Wife, can I go just in the morning instead of in the afternoon?”
Bai Wutong looked back at him. “Why?”
Chu Tianbao said gloomily, “If I go in the afternoon too, I won’t be able to see my wife for a day.”
She chuckled. “Go to school obediently. I’ll cook you something delicious when you get back.”
Chu Tianbao’s eyes lit up. “If I study well, is there a reward?”
The reward he wanted was nothing more than kisses, hugs, and taking advantage of her.
How could she not understand him? Her eyes deepened as she replied. “Tianbao said before that he would study hard and become smart to protect his wife. Why does he want a reward again?”
Chu Tianbao shamelessly asked expectantly, “I will study well and become smart to protect wife, but can’t I ask for a reward?”
He was just short of writing on his face that Tianbao should be rewarded.
Bai Wutong chuckled and sewed the last strap of her bag. Then she said to Chu Tianbao, who was still dawdling at the side, “As long as you get first place in all the exams at the end of the month, I’ll reward you.”
He could only work hard if he was motivated. She didn’t mind giving him a little reward.
Chu Tianbao didn’t care about the exam at the end of the month. He only cared about what the reward was. His eyes widened in excitement. “What reward?”
“What reward does Tianbao want?” she asked.
Chu Tianbao said, “Will my wife definitely agree?”
Feeling that no matter how much he went overboard, he shouldn’t go too far, she nodded.
Chu Tianbao had many rewards he wanted. After thinking about it repeatedly and hesitating, he said the one he wanted the most.
“Tianbao wants to take a bath with my wife.”
He had thought about it for a long, long time.
Every time he dreamed, he would dream of Bai Wutong appearing out of the water and winding around him. He had to get up early the next morning to wash his pants.
Bai Wutong was stunned.
She thought that Chu Tianbao would say kisses and hugs. She never expected him to be thinking about this.
She blushed. “Change it. I’ll agree to everything else.”
Chu Tianbao pouted. “My wife clearly nodded just now. My wife is lying.”
Her head hurt. She felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
Suddenly, she remembered the one-piece swimsuit in the RV space and smiled. “Alright, I promise you.”
Anyway, there was no rule that one could not wear clothes in the shower.
She wasn’t lying.
Chu Tianbao cheered and hugged her. He kissed her hard on the cheek. “Wife, you’re the best! I’ll definitely get first place!”
There was a smile in her eyes. “You have to be number one for all the exams!”
With so many talented talents in Qinghe attending classes together, she felt that even if Chu Tianbao’s memory was outstanding, it was impossible for him to get first place in all of them.
After all, he was good at fighting. The others relied on studying to make a living.
On the other hand, Chu Tianbao looked confident and determined. Those who didn’t know better would think that he loved to learn.
When the bag was done, she asked Chu Tianbao to carry it and give it a try.
Although the school bag did not match the ancient clothes, it was really convenient and practical.
Chu Tianbao liked it very much. He carried it on his back happily and searched for the treasures he had hidden everywhere. He wanted to put them all into his bag.
Soon, the bag was bulging.
He leaned over and opened his bag, showing off. “Wife, look.”
When Bai Wutong looked, she saw that it was filled with the snacks she usually gave Chu Tianbao, as well as the new underwear and socks she had made for him.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry. If anyone saw this, they would be shocked to death.
...
She quickly poured these things out for him and instructed him to only put books and stationery, and especially not underwear, in his bag.
Chu Tianbao looked regretful. His wife’s handmade underwear was so good, and there were cute yellow ducks on it, but no one else could see them.
When the bag was done, she made a stationery bag for Chu Tianbao.
In this world, one used a brush for the imperial examination. If one could not write well, one would not even be qualified to take the examination.
Afraid that he would find it troublesome to grind ink, she specially prepared a watercolor brush for Chu Tianbao to store ink. There was an air bag in the brush shaft that could store water. With a slight pressure, water could be produced to write. It could be used for a long time to store ink.
The words written with this water-absorbing brush were the same as those written with an ordinary brush.
It was also convenient to hold in his hand.
She had prepared several sets for Chu Tianbao, including large, medium, and small brushes.
Soon, it was time for Chu Tianbao to go to school.
She sent him to Qinghe Hall and urged, “Hurry up and go in!”
He had been stalling here for a long time.
...
Chu Tianbao stood there pitifully like a desolate wooden stake.
It was clearly only a few steps away, but it felt like they were parting ways. Everyone smiled and was very envious of the couple.
Finally, after she left without looking back, Chu Tianbao carried his bag into Qinghe Hall.
With his extremely good looks, he immediately became the most beautiful child in the crowd.
Li Erwa also had a small book bag. When he saw Chu Tianbao’s bag, he ran over with envy in his eyes. “Master Chu, your book bag is so beautiful!”
Chu Tianbao raised his chin proudly. “This is the bag my wife made for me!”
Li Erwa became even more envious. “I want a wife too!”
The children around him laughed. “You’re just a little kid, but you already want a wife.”
Zhao Erwa glared at everyone. “Even if you don’t have it now, you will in the future!”
“Hahaha—”
Everyone laughed even louder.
Zhao Erwa was about to die of anger when he suddenly wanted to retort, “What are you laughing at? You don’t have a wife either!”
The smiling children’s smiles froze.
Yes, they didn’t have a wife either.
How tragic—
