Chapter 253 Give dignity
The eldest princess frowned slightly when she saw her husband looking like he wanted to hit someone.
To be honest, although they are husband and wife, the eldest princess spends most of her time running around the inner courtyard and does not spend much time at home. She is too lazy to care about what her husband is doing at home all day long.
As a consort, there was no way he could become an official. Before getting married, the eldest princess also made this clear to her husband.
But the consort who made the choice was still after marriage, because he saw his classmates who had taken the scientific examination together in the past getting promoted step by step, and got drunk at home to vent their anger.
After she gave birth to the child, she also made a request to her husband-in-law, hoping that he could help take care of the child.
It's a pity that these two children are not close to the prince-in-law now. It is obvious that he did not fulfill his responsibilities as a full-time father in those years.
The eldest princess always felt sorry for him when he ended his official career, even if he failed to teach Shen Changfeng well. Her husband also said that her son was born difficult to carve. The eldest princess believed it and thought that Shen Changfeng might be a stubborn stone. I just helped him carry it around and didn't care too much about Shenfu Shan.
Now that Shen Changfeng has a good master, his son who was originally disrespectful and reckless has gradually become like an older brother.
Now, without her husband, the family is living happily.
When her husband appeared, the cheerful atmosphere was gone, and the eldest princess suddenly felt that he was an eyesore.
No one likes a spoiler. Listening to the prince-in-law opening and closing his mouth at this moment, he scolded Shen Changfeng so much that the eldest princess interrupted him.
"Okay, the prince-in-law is tired when he comes back from drinking. Let's go and rest." The eldest princess still saved his dignity in the end.
After all, no matter what, the prince-in-law is also the biological father of a pair of children.
But Shen Fushan did not realize the princess's dissatisfaction, but continued to scold Shen Changfeng: "Jade cannot be polished until it can be used. Princess, in order to make this child become a talent, he still needs to be punished severely!"
The eldest princess turned cold and said, "Come here, the prince-in-law is drunk, and he's starting to talk nonsense!"
The eldest princess could allow the prince-in-law to scold her children, but she was never allowed to use family law.
Shen Fushan was stunned for a moment. After all, even if the eldest princess refused to spank the child, she would rarely let him get off the stage.
Soon a guard came into the house and took him away with Shen Fu Shan on his back.
Although the eldest princess did not give face to her husband, she turned around and still explained to her children: "Drunken and crazy people are unreasonable, and your father did not mean to do this."
Shen Ling didn't say anything.
But Shen Changfeng shook his head: "That's not the case. He didn't drink much. He just simply hates me."
Only then did the eldest princess notice her son's expression, and she still remembered how high-spirited her son was when he mentioned the interesting things he had done at the Gu family when he came home.
Now the whole person seems to have suffered some kind of huge blow, like a cabbage that has been drained of water.
The reason for this change was simply because the husband came into the house and gave her a few scoldings.
The eldest princess felt a little sorry for her son, but she still tried to make amends for her husband: "How could your father hate you? He is your biological father. He just hopes that you will succeed."
Shen Changfeng shook his head.
The eldest princess had no choice but to continue to persuade: "Your father was originally a person who passed the imperial examination. He is very capable, but he is unable to show his talents in the officialdom. He also has high hopes for you..."
Seeing that his mother was still persuading, Shen Changfeng simply said it clearly: "Mom, when he scolded me just now, his nose wrinkled and his upper lip bulged. He just hates me!"
The eldest princess and Shen Ling were stunned when they heard this: "What does this have to do with hating you?" Shen Changfeng continued: "Such a change in the face is a sign of hating others. Master taught me how to observe words and expressions today. "
The eldest princess was surprised and said, "Your master actually taught you this?"
Shen Changfeng honestly said what Gu Mingda said: "The teacher said that with my status, I don't need to work hard like other people to take the imperial examination and become an official, so I don't need to attach too much importance to studying. Let me normally Just pick up the books you like to read.”
"I wanted to be an official. Most of the time, my mother asked my uncle to give me an official position. He said that being an official ultimately involves dealing with people. If I want to make some achievements, I must learn to be a good person. It is essential to observe people's behavior. ”
In fact, the eldest princess had never thought carefully about Shen Changfeng's future path. She also did not have high hopes for Shen Changfeng, and she did not expect her son to have any big future.
She asked Shen Changfeng to become Gu Mingda's teacher. On the one hand, it was to save Shen Changfeng from having to stay at home all day long and the father and son would be at odds. She should be able to learn something from Gu Mingda, a noble man. On the other hand, she wanted to repay her kindness by doing it for the Gu family. Got a backer.
With the formal master-disciple status, if those who are not discerning in the capital want to touch the Gu family, they have to look at the face of the princess mansion.
The eldest princess felt that she had gained a lot from this unintentional move.
She didn't have a future planned for her son, but Gu Mingda helped her figure it out.
She thought carefully about Gu Mingda's words, and the more she thought about it, the more reasonable she felt. After all, isn't being an official just about being a human being? She just felt that this master was extremely worthy of her worship.
"How did your master teach you?" the eldest princess asked.
Shen Changfeng didn't think much about it. It was new knowledge he had just learned today. It was easy for him to repeat it now.
The eldest princess did not expect that Gu Mingda would teach her in such detail. She originally thought that it would be difficult to teach people to observe words and expressions. Who would have thought that Gu Mingda would use such a method.
Shen Changfeng looked at his mother's expression at this time and said, "You and your sister seem to be surprised now."
Shen Changfeng even took out the small bronze mirror he brought with him, pointed it at his mother's face, and explained: "Look, when you are surprised, your eyebrows are raised, your eyes are bigger than usual, and your mouth is slightly open."
After hearing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "No wonder my father always taught your uncles when he was alive, to keep your emotions and anger hidden, and not let others know your thoughts. It turns out that your thoughts are so obvious on your face. "
Shen Ling tugged on her mother's sleeves at the side: "Mom, I also want to go to the Gu family to take classes! The food in the Gu family is good, and Mr. Gu's classes are also interesting! I want to learn too!"
The eldest princess said: "It's not enough to send your brother to disturb others, why should you also be sent there? Besides, you come from a girl's house, so you can just ask your husband to teach you at home. What's the point of sending you to a boy's house?" "
When Shen Ling heard this, she turned to pester her brother: "Brother, can you come home every day? Teach me everything you learned at the Gu family?"
Seeing how pitiful his sister was, Shen Changfeng naturally wouldn't refuse. At worst, he would have to work harder, leaving early and coming back late every day.
The eldest princess looked at her son at this time and suddenly felt that he seemed to have grown up.
But later, Shen Ling also left, and when mother and son were alone, the eldest princess whispered: "Your father may not really hate you, he may just not know that you have made a career..."
Shen Changfeng is no longer the easily comforted child in the past: "Mother, do you know why I like to stay at the Gu family?"
The eldest princess was puzzled.
Shen Changfeng continued: "Because I was there and could see what a father truly loves his children."
"Niuniu is a daughter and an adopted child, but the master is still worried about her. He is even prepared for his daughter not to marry, just because he is afraid that his daughter will be bullied in the future."
"Gu Zhao doesn't like to study and only likes to play with bugs. However, the master has never stopped him from doing such a non-professional thing. Instead, he has seriously thought of a way out for him. Gu Zhao now worships Lao Yantou as his teacher. His little progress has made a lot of progress. Master sees it all and remembers it in his heart.”
"Mother, ask yourself, does my father really have my sister and me in his heart?"
