If this is the case, she has to make good use of it. Her three apprentices have thick legs, and they don’t hold them in vain. As long as it is beneficial to her and her family, she can do whatever she wants.

Gu Yan thought about it and bowed to Tan Yue.

"Mr. I don't know that Yan'er not only needs to learn chess and medicine, but also needs to learn Nu Hong and the Four Books and Five Classics. Moreover, Yan'er has been in poor health since she was a child. Now she is following her father to practice martial arts and exercise. The time to practice piano skills is really limited. If Mr. Don't give up, please give Yan'er some time. First, learn a few other things, and second, lay a good foundation for learning guqin so that she can follow her progress faster in the future, so as not to embarrass her."

Even if you have a backer, you must first finish the secret guards. Secret guards are the foundation for their lives. This matter is a top priority and cannot be delayed.

Moreover, the martial arts cannot be left behind. She lives her life with the protection of others. This is not her character. She must firmly control the secret guards and killers, so that they will be better than all of them. Otherwise, one day, someone will betray her because she does not accept her, and then she will be in danger.

Tan Yue nodded, "How long does it take? Three years is enough?"

Gu Yan thought for a while and nodded, "Sure."

In this way, Gu Yan and anyone made a three-year agreement with Tan Yue without discussing it, and agreed to study with Tan Yue three years later.

After Tan Yue found the "Heryan" apprentice banquet, there was naturally no need to hold another one. Seeing that their children had no hope of becoming Tan Yue's disciples, the other dozen families said goodbye and left after staying for a while. Even the confident Mi Shi was not too late, and they didn't even mention the bet, and turned around and left with Niu Jingjing.

Tang was very happy that his daughter could become Tan Yue's apprentice, so how could she pay attention to her? It was too late to celebrate!

However, before Tang could celebrate Gu Yan could not celebrate, Gu Yan disappeared. After learning that Gu Yan had returned to Jiguanling again, Tang was so angry that he didn't have a meal for three days. Finally, he got better after Gu Anhao had a coaxed him. He had not been to Jiguanling for half a year to see Gu Yan, and Gu Yan was still going home to see her.

Gu Yan lived in Jiguanling for three years. During this period, Mingyuan followed her to Jiguanling shortly after Gu Yan left, where he taught Gu Yan medical skills and chess skills. However, he did not mention Gu Yan's training secret guards and ignored him and thought he didn't know. Although Mingyuan and Gu Yan lived in the same mountain, they were not in the same place as Gu Yan and others. They built a thatched hut on another mountain and lived there with peace of mind.

Gu Zhehan also arrived at Jiguanling half a year after Gu Yan left and received training with Gu Yan. When he had time, he went to Master Mingyuan to learn chess, but he didn't expect that he would play chess better than Gu Yan. Mingyuan was so happy that he accepted the wrong apprentice straight.

Gu Yan no longer went down the mountain and lived in seclusion in Jiguanling. Gu An and Tang went to the suburbs to live for three or four days every two months. In fact, they went to Jiguanling to see their daughter and son.

Gu An was afraid that he would always transport grain to the mountain and would attract attention. After several times, he finally found an open space at the foot of a mountain and asked someone to try planting corn and other crops there. Although the harvest was not good, it was enough for these people to eat for four or five months. In addition to the vegetables grown by Gu Yan, the food transported to the mountain was much less.

Tang Zhenting stayed for another year after Gu An and Tang left Changzhou, and cleaned up Changzhou's industries. He also entrusted his friends in Changzhou to act on maritime trade and arrived at the border town in the summer of the following year.

After Tang Zhenting arrived at the border town, Tang opened three grain shops and a grocery store in the border town, which was managed by his younger brother Tang Zhenting, while Tang focused on managing the affairs of Shantang.

As a member of the Tang family, Tang's business was not in vain. In a year, he managed Shantang's affairs very well. There were nearly 500 homeless children and widowed elderly people who had earned.

The Shantang is mostly adults, and one of the young people with hands and feet is confiscated. They are all elderly and children, and some homeless women. Tang manages all these people separately. Those who know how to craft skills teach others skills to make money. Those who don’t know how to craft skills learn the things they are interested in. The finished products they make are sold in the market. The money they sell is half the money they sell. Tang does not ask for the money they get, but put it in the Shantang for children to learn. She only charges their food expenses symbolically at the beginning of each month. Of course, the money they paid is not enough to eat in Shantang for ten days, and the rest is all the money they earn. This is equivalent to supporting themselves. Gu An’s family cultivates and gathers a group of loyal people to do their work without spending a single piece of silver.

The children in Shantang don’t do anything. They have to learn boxing with Gu’s guards every morning to strengthen their bodies. In the morning, they learn calligraphy from the two old scholars in Shantang. In the afternoon, they are time to learn skills. They learn whatever they like. Shantang does not interfere. They just have to learn the same thing, and they can’t choose it.

Shantang moved normally with Tang's efforts. Two months after Tang Zhenting arrived at the border town, Tang Zhenting found a blanket weaving master in Yicheng to teach women's blanket weaving skills in Shantang. A year later, all the blankets woven in Shantang were allowed to be sold in the capital. Shantang had another income, which greatly improved Shantang's living standards.

The border town changed a lot after Gu An's family arrived, and the number of beggars on the street decreased significantly. It turned out that young beggars also began to actively find work, and some of them went to the army.

The biggest change is the matter of Tan Xiong being transferred back to the capital.

Tan Xiong has been guarding the border for many years and has made many military achievements. At the same time, the old man of the Tan family celebrated his birthday. Emperor Wen of Wei gave him a grace and asked him to return to Beijing to report his duties.

When Tan Xiong left, his position was empty. The one who succeeded him was Niu Xun, the husband of Mi, and Niu Xun's position was occupied by Gu An, the new guard. For this matter, Gu An stayed in the mansion in a low-key manner for several months. He didn't go anywhere except to the border town, but guarded the acropolis.

It doesn’t matter if Tan Xiong leaves. Tan Yue has no place to go. She is still waiting for Gu Yan to fulfill her promise to learn piano with her. Now that her brother has left, she has no place to live.

Tan Yue wanted to rent a house in the Acropolis, but asked Tang to stop him and took him to his home to become Tang's husband.

If Tang wants to ask, for the sake of his daughter, Tang has also made a desperate attempt. Regardless of whether he is a good master of age or not, he directly hired Tan Yue as her piano master. It would be better to say whether he teaches or not. First, let Tan Yue live in the Gu family, first, give her a place to live, and second, it is better to teach her when Gu Yan comes back in two years.

Tan Yue couldn't resist Tang's invitation and lived in the Gu family. This made Mi, who was determined to make Tan Yue live in his home, so she directly invited Tang to her house in the name of the new wife of General Zhongwu.
