Thinking of her grandson, Ms. Zhao felt it was hard to express herself.
When Shen Lin'an wants to read and write, he either complains that he is hungry or tired, or he wants to take a pee, relieve himself, or...
In short, he has endless things to do and endless illnesses.
I just don’t feel like writing.
At first, Ms. Zhao wanted to follow the child's nature and wait until the child was happy to play, then he could calm down and study.
Then...she realized that she was too naive.
The child seemed to have no time to calm down.
Such as now.
He just ate two pieces of iced watermelon because he thought the weather was too hot, and then he started complaining about stomachache...
Rubbing her brows, Ms. Zhao suppressed the irritability in her heart: "You rest first, I'll go out for something, and I'll practice calligraphy with you when I get back."
"Okay..." Shen Lin'an said weakly.
Listening to his weak answer, Ms. Zhao frowned.
Could it be that she blamed the child wrongly? Does he really have a stomachache?
Thinking of this possibility, she hurriedly asked her servants to send the doctor to the palace, while she hurriedly walked towards Leng Lanzhi's Jinxiu Garden.
Although the Pingnan Marquis Mansion sounded very noble, and her husband also inherited the title and became a third-rank Marquis, but... he had no real power.
And Shen Yizhi has made many military exploits over the years, but he has only been granted the title of a member of the sixth rank of the Central Military Mansion.
Leng Lanzhi's grandfather conquered the world on horseback. After the world was stabilized, he began to weaken the power of military generals. Unless there were special circumstances, military generals would never be able to take power.
Zhao's knowledge was not enough to see through this, but she could feel the decline of Pingnan Hou Mansion.
Therefore, she desperately wanted to get acquainted with the wives of important officials in the court to pave the way for her son.
However, all those ladies have high standards. Although she is a third-grade imperial wife, no one is willing to play with her, and few people visit her on weekdays.
The few people who came to her occasionally were not very popular, and she looked down on their status at all.
Now, finally, a family member of a fourth-rank official has arrived. Although he has no royal title, the rank of the Minister of Hubu seems not to be as high as that of Pingnan Hou.
However, the other party has real power!
Mrs. Zhao thought that it would be great if she could become familiar with the other party and help her son abandon martial arts and pursue literature...
When Zhao came to Jinxiu Garden, Leng Lanzhi was testing He Hengyue's knowledge with great interest.
The reason was that she asked the Huang family if He Hengyue had enlightenment?
Before Huang could speak, He Qianqian suddenly replied: "Back to the princess, Heng'er has learned the Three Character Classic by himself, but he can only recite it and has not learned to read it yet."
Huang suddenly broke into a cold sweat and scolded: "Who allows you to speak without authorization in front of the princess?"
He Qianqian lowered her head, but it could be seen that she did not feel that she had done anything wrong. She still had a small face with dissatisfaction written all over her face.
There was a smile in Leng Lan's eyes.
This girl has been smart since she was a child. Just like that time in the ruined temple, the little girl saw that those who were chasing her were not good people, so she deliberately pointed in the opposite direction to lure them away.
Now... the little girl probably saw that she had a good status and was deliberately creating opportunities for her brother.
She ignored the stubborn little girl and asked the confused boy, "Oh? Do you really know how to recite the Three Character Sutra?"
The little boy blushed and glanced secretly at his sister.
Although the little girl lowered her head, she seemed to feel the boy's gaze. She raised her eyes and blinked hard, and then the boy said: "Princess, I really know how to do it."
Huang was so worried that she didn't see the exchange between the two siblings.
Leng Lanzhi pretended not to see the interaction between the two siblings, and said calmly: "Come back and listen."
The young man then spoke: "In the beginning, human nature is inherently good..."
At first, his voice was very low and his articulation was not clear.
But as he went to the back, he became more and more proficient at memorizing, and he became more and more confident.
When Mrs. Zhao came in, she happened to hear He Hengyue reciting the last few sentences: "Diligence pays off, but playfulness is useless. It's a warning, you should try your best."
There was some disdain in her heart.
Her An'er has already memorized it and can even write the first few sentences.
Then Leng Lanzhi asked: "Do you know what this means?"
The young man looked at his sister blankly, but saw that the little girl was also confused, so he could only shake his head honestly: "Princess, I don't know."
After saying that, he lowered his head shyly, and the little girl was also enveloped in a dejected air.
Leng Lanzhi took a sip of tea: "Didn't the person who taught you the Three Character Classic tell you its meaning?"
"No...no..." The young man glanced at his sister again: "She...she probably doesn't know either."
"Oh?" The smile in Leng Lan's eyes could hardly be hidden: "I am very curious, which gentleman is so misleading to his disciples, who only teaches articles but is not responsible for solving their doubts?"
"This...this..." He Hengyue didn't know how to answer.
Huang felt a little guilty: "Princess, this child hasn't learned yet. He probably learned it by secretly listening to his brothers recite it, right?"
The smile in Lenglan's eyes disappeared, and he said with an indifferent expression: "The young master of the household minister's house has not yet started schooling at the age of four? I remember that children from ordinary official families can start schooling at the age of three, right?"
Huang suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
What to learn from?
In the past few years, she wished she could throw this kid far away. It was a kindness of hers not to let him starve to death.
Just when Mr. Huang didn't know how to answer, He Qianqian answered again: "Back to the princess, my brother's "Three Character Classic" was taught to me by me. I learned it from my aunt, and my aunt is very talented."
Huang: "..."
Leng Lanzhi glanced at Huang expressionlessly, and when his eyes fell on He Qianqian, he smiled again: "Oh? You can also memorize it?"
He Qianqian raised her head and said proudly: "Not only can I recite the Three Character Classic, but I can also recite the Disciple Rules! I can also recite many poems!"
Although the little girl is only seven years old, she has already grown a beautiful heart in the hard life day after day.
She vaguely understood that this was a huge opportunity.
As long as she can make this noble princess value her brother, she and her brother will no longer have to endure the cold eyes of the servants in the palace, the harsh treatment of their father and aunt, and they will no longer have to live a precarious life.
"Come back and listen?" Leng Lanzhi put down the teacup and looked at the little girl with interest.
He Qianqian didn't show any timidity, her pink lips opened and closed, first she recited the "Three Character Classic" completely, and then recited a few poems.
There are even two plaintive speeches written by women who were deeply resentful in the palace.
The little girl obviously didn't understand the meaning, but that didn't stop her from remembering them.
Huang was a little restless.
Leng Lanzhi's beautiful face gradually became filled with a smile: "This girl is quite a wonderful person, Xiaorou, thank you."
Xiaorou gave the little girl two gold leaves.
Leng Lanzhi looked at the little girl with a smile and asked: "I am so boring here. I am in need of someone interesting. Are you willing to come over and accompany me?"
He Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and didn't hesitate for a moment after reacting: "I do!"
Huang's face looked a little ugly: "Princess, is this...is this against the rules?"
Leng Lanzhi looked at her lightly: "I am the rule."
Huang immediately did not dare to say anything.
In the courtyard, Ms. Zhao only felt that her worldview was somewhat subverted.
She usually fawns over the official wife, but she is so respectful to her daughter-in-law?
She found that she seemed to have to re-examine her importance as a daughter-in-law.
