Jun Hongji's eyes were clear:
"I really don't know how to teach well, but I know that the elder of the Shen family in family studies still had a stutter when he entered school. In order to correct it, the master made him hold a stone in his mouth to read every day, and he never stopped even if his tongue was stained with blood. One day, now I can write and write fluently.
Sanlang Shen was weak, so his master asked him to practice calligraphy with sandbags tied around his wrists. He worked diligently and now his calligraphy is good, and he is ready to take the scientific examination this year.
The Master often said that if you want to get ahead, you must endure what others cannot endure and suffer what others cannot endure. If you don't want to, just go home and live a life of drunkenness and death. He will never say a word more. "
There was silence in the hall.
Even the mean and angry old lady was stunned when she heard this.
Unexpectedly, the Shen family was so strict and rigorous in their studies.
No wonder there are many talented people in the Shen family, and half of the civil servants in the court have a close relationship with the Shen family.
Jun Hongji knelt down towards Shen Qingluan again and kowtowed respectfully:
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for allowing Hongji to have the honor of studying in the Shen clan. Although Hongji is not talented, he could only write his own name when he entered school. Now he can recite four books, learned Sun Tzu's art of war, and even knows what it means. Benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust are all due to Master’s sincere teachings.
Hongji dare not or forget the great kindness of the Shen family. Even if the Shen family wants to expel me to study abroad today, I will definitely repay the kindness of the Shen family and my sister-in-law. "
Shen Qingluan felt mixed emotions in her heart and quickly stood up to help him up.
She boasted that she was devoted to Jun Yuan and Jun Qian, but they regarded her as a stumbling block and a weed on the roadside.
On the contrary, it was Jun Hongji. In his previous life, Shen Qingluan only fulfilled his duties as a mistress to provide him with food, clothing, housing and transportation, yet he actually cared about his own good.
She lowered her eyes and looked away from the emotion, "You like to study in the Shen family. My sister-in-law can promise that as long as you are still willing to study, the Shen family school will never drive you away."
After saying that, he raised his eyes to look at Jun Yuan again, and his tone became cold and hard:
"You only said that the Master of the Shen family treated you harshly, but my Shen family is very strict in studying. Because of this, there are many children of the Shen family who can write at the age of three and compose at the age of six. Hongji is studying in the family, Nowadays, we also distinguish right from wrong and behave politely.
But as for you, you rely on the support of the uncle and the old lady, and you have Sister Qian to hide it for you, and you often disobey discipline.
Now that you are nine years old, I would like to ask you how much homework you have done for your master, how many Chinese characters do you know, how many articles can you write, and how good are you in parallel and parallel prose? "
Jun Yuan stammered when asked, his face flushed, and he clutched the book bag at his waist tightly, wishing he could run away.
Jun Hongbai's heart trembled when he heard this, and he stepped forward to grab Jun Yuan's book bag: "Take out your homework and show it to me."
At that time, he tried his best to get the last place in the second class of the general examination, but then he failed to find a good job, so he had to borrow money from his parents' family to find a job.
On the other hand, the top scholar of that period became a close minister of the emperor as soon as he entered the official position.
It was because he had suffered a loss that he valued Jun Yuan's studies more than anyone else.
But he indulged in the pain of his wife's death and rarely taught his children, and the old lady indulged and doted on him.
Time passed by in a blur, and now I saw that my nine-year-old son was just rolling around and messing around with the housewife.
Not to mention compared to the descendants of the Shen family, even Jun Hongji, an orphan with no one to discipline him, couldn't compare!
The raging anger in Jun Hongbai's heart instantly turned into shame, and along with it was a feeling of anxiety and fear, which made his whole Tianling Gai buzz with anxiety.
He looks fierce now but still looks like a loving father.
Jun Yuan was so scared that his heart felt like it was being pinched by someone. He hid in the room and said without hesitation:
"No, I won't give it! You listen to her nonsense, and you actually listen to a woman with long hair and short knowledge! She is the one you should beat!
The more beaten a woman is, the more honest she becomes! "
Jun Hongbai, who was still lucky enough to think that Jun Yuan was just a little naughty, no longer dared to take it lightly.
Who would have thought that the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion would raise such a ruffian-like child!
Mrs. Lu slapped the table and howled: "It's my fault, it's my short-sightedness! I thought he would be so loving and indulgent when he lost his mother at a young age, but who knew he would become like this!"
Jun Hongbai was half panicked and half angry, and he quickly caught up to him and grabbed him by the collar, "Who taught you these shrew-like rolling and slutty moves? I think you didn't get enough of the whip. Someone, bring me the whip!"
Jun Yuan panicked and loosened his grip. The book bag was thrown to the ground, and wooden knives, pastries, glass balls, and a few crumpled papers fell to the ground.
Jun Hongbai unfolded the paper and took a look. He was almost so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
On it were written crookedly: "Son of a bitch, old and immortal, Shen's stupid pig" and other obscene words.
Mrs. Lu came over to take a look, and took a few deep breaths before she regained her composure, "You...you evildoer!"
Jun Hongbai also shouted angrily: "You evil son, kneel down!"
He took the cane handed over by his servant and slapped Jun Yuan on his head and face.
He had done it out of anger because he had been beaten in front of Shen Qingluan, but this time he really wanted to teach Jun Yuan a lesson.
Swinging the whip without leaving any room, Jun Yuan's butt soon became swollen, and his original howl of ghosts and wolves also weakened, and he cried sadly:
"Dad, I was wrong. I don't dare to mess around in the future, I don't dare to disobey Master, and I don't dare to fool around with my homework. I must study hard, Daddy, stop fighting!"
The room was filled with ups and downs, until Jun Yuan didn't even have the strength to cry out in pain. Shen Qingluan slowly got up after watching enough of the show.
"Uncle, let Brother Yuan learn a lesson. If he is really injured...he is already far behind in his studies. He will have to spend another month or two recuperating from his injuries. Even if he wants to learn, he won't be able to keep up. "
Only then did Jun Hongbai stop, but his chest was still heaving violently and he was breathing heavily.
Shen Qingluan said neither coldly nor hotly:
"Speaking of which, studying is all about your own hobbies. If Brother Yuan really feels that the Shen family's strict discipline is deliberately treating you harshly, I can't say something to Master and ask him to be more tolerant to Brother Yuan.
In order to avoid misunderstandings between the uncle and the old lady, it will ruin the reputation of my Shen family. "
Jun Hongbai and Mrs. Lu were confused by her words, and they shouted in unison: "No!"
Facing Shen Qingluan's sarcastic eyes, Jun Hongbai felt as if three layers of his face had been shaved off.
But he still had to endure the shame and bow his head:
"I just made a mistake. Madam had good intentions, all for the sake of Yuan'er and the Jun family. She meant every word and everything with care. It was me, Zhu Lu, who said the wrong words and did the wrong things.
Madam, please let the past go and let Mr. Shen continue to push Yuan'er! No, please teach Master more severely than before! "
Shen Qingluan looked at him steadily for a long time, and nodded slowly while the family was in fear.
Jun Hongbai and Mrs. Jun were both relieved!
Shen Qingluan smiled, flicked his sleeves and continued: "The Shen family teaches and educates people, only the students themselves quit when faced with difficulties, and there is absolutely no practice of giving up halfway as a teacher.
I, Shen Qingluan, am the same as a human being. Although Sister Qian and Brother Yuan hate me a lot, I have to fulfill my responsibilities as their aunt for one day. Unless one day, the uncle and the old lady personally say that I have neglected my duty and ask me to stop caring about them. "
The two people she named were already sweating profusely, and their faces were so burned that only a layer of skin remained.
Jun Qian and Jun Yuan were indeed treasonous towards her. They used to be very picky about her.
Thinking about it now, fortunately Shen Qingluan was a decent person and didn't care about them.
If she really lets go, given Jun Qian's petty attitude and Jun Yuan's lies today, I'm afraid the Jun family will really have no heirs.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu did not dare to put on airs in front of Shen Qingluan and said hurriedly:
"How can I say that you have neglected your duty? You have been married for so long, and I feel most at ease with you. I just made you hand over the account book and cards because I was confused and said the wrong thing. Please don't argue with me, old lady.
You will be in charge of the entire Hou Mansion from now on, and this will never change. "
I thought that she was the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and everyone in the mansion respected her. She had done a good job in front of Shen Qingluan in her previous life, so how could she ever be so humble?
Jun Hongbai also said hoarsely, "I know you are a noble person and will not deliberately delay the children. I just misunderstood that it was my fault that you forced Yuan'er to drop out of school. I have wronged you a lot in the past. In the future, I will love you and respect you, and will never hurt you." your heart."
The two of them looked at her eagerly, waiting for her to speak.
Shen Qingluan was silent for a moment, and suddenly there was an unspeakable sense of humor and weirdness in his heart.
In her previous life, she had been heartbroken, but Jun Hongbai and Mr. Lu insisted that she had evil intentions and treated her with cold expressions.
But in this life, she had done nothing, not even covering up for Jun Yuan and Jun Qian, but Jun Hongbai and Mr. Lu were grateful to her.
Should I call them stupid, or should I call myself stupid?
However, no matter how the Jun family changed their faces, she would never doubt herself for this.
Shen Qingluan agreed with a faint smile and took Cuicui out of the house.
As soon as he went out, he saw Jun Hongji bending down and carefully picking up the dirty and crumpled papers from Jun Yuan's paintings, laying them out one by one and stuffing them firmly against his chest.
Shen Qingluan walked over and said, "These papers are dirty."
Jun Hongji was startled, turned around, and said shyly: "You can still write on the back."
As if afraid that Shen Qingluan would disapprove, Jun Hongji raised his head, his eyes bright, "Master said that books and paper are the inheritance of civilization and should be enshrined in the palace and cannot be wasted."
Shen Qingluan smiled softly.
Cherishing books and paper is the first lesson every Shen family member learns.
"Good boy, I heard from Master, you have learned very well."
The master's original words were that he was either a member of the Jun family or had some talent.
"If there is anything you don't understand about your studies in the future, you can come to Hanguang Academy and ask me."
"Really?" Jun Hongji smiled so much that he showed his big white teeth:
"I heard Master say that my sister-in-law is the best in knowledge among the Shen family. If she is a man, it is not impossible for her to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister!"
Shen Qingluan was in a daze for a moment.
Yes, it's a pity that that was once.
Having been stuck in marriage for so long, she had almost forgotten how amazingly talented and beautiful she once was...
The two sons and daughters of the Jun family had already eaten the first meal, so how could the Du family sit still? They were like ants on a frying pan in a hurry.
Shen Qingluan submitted several invitations to the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion asking for an audience, but Shen Qingluan refused until that day when Jun Hongbai went to the office and his carriage was stopped by Du Mu in the street.
