Chapter 37: Mrs. Tai teaches her grandson with a heavy stick
Shen Junhui and Shen Junwei were a little surprised and followed Feng to the small Buddha hall in the side room of Shou'an Hall, and when they entered the small Buddha hall, Feng no longer paid attention to the two of them, Shen Junhui and Shen Junwei had to stand silently behind Feng, watching Feng quietly clean his hands and burn incense, and then knelt on the futon on the ground, his hands folded.
"Follow me to recite a Heart Sutra!" Shen Junhui and Shen Junwei were stupidly watching Feng Shi doing his homework, when they suddenly heard Feng's voice, they immediately came back to their senses, knelt on the two futons behind Feng Shi according to Feng's instructions, and followed after reciting a sutra.
Feng Shi did not hurry to kowtow to the Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined above, and only got up after completing the final ceremony. Shen Junhui and Shen Junwei watched Feng's movements, and followed them a little anxiously before standing up.
"Do you know why I called you two over?" Feng Shi turned his back to the two of them, and his voice came over without waves.
Although Feng's back was to the two, Shen Junhui and Shen Junwei were still a little weak and uneasy, the two secretly glanced at each other, Nuo Nuo didn't say anything, and the Buddhist hall was quiet for a while.
I only heard Feng Shi sigh, turned around to face Shen Junhui and Shen Junwei, looked at Shen Junhui and said, "Junhui, you can tell me, do you know why I brought you here?"
Shen Junhui was also very worried about what happened a few days ago, but he didn't dare to admit it, so he only replied cautiously: "But what did the grandson do wrong, the grandson is stupid, and he asked his grandmother to make it clear?"
Feng Shi looked at Shen Junhui seriously for a while, saw that his movements were cramped and uneasy, his face was suspicious but he still didn't say anything, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, so he didn't say anything, and only asked Shen Junwei on the side: "Junwei girl, is there anything you want to say to your grandmother?"
In fact, seeing today's posture, Shen Junwei knew that it was afraid that it was Princess Ning's banquet, Feng already knew, her heart was struggling, her face was also very hesitant, she hesitated for a long time, Shen Junwei knelt down with a puff and said, "Grandmother, I know that I am wrong, and I ask my grandmother to punish me." ”
Shen Junwei knelt suddenly and decisively, so much so that Shen Junhui on the side was startled, and immediately knelt down without saying a word.
Feng didn't look at Shen Junhui, only looked at Shen Junwei and nodded, and said, "Oh, then you have to tell your grandmother what you did wrong?"
Originally, Shen Junwei was a little scared at first, but since she had already said it, she felt a lot calmer in her heart, lowered her head and thought about it seriously, Shen Junwei looked directly at Feng and said: "Grandmother, I shouldn't have concealed that my family learned to play the flute privately, and second, I shouldn't have deliberately damaged the third sister's piano and wanted her to make a fool of herself in public." ”
"Xiao learned from your aunt, right?" Feng suddenly asked something that had nothing to do with punishment, but Shen Junwei immediately kowtowed to Feng in fright, and begged: "Grandmother has nothing to do with my aunt, I have to learn it myself, so I forced my aunt to teach me." ”
"You don't have to worry about anything, I don't blame your aunt. Feng Shi looked at Shen Junwei and said with a serious expression: "Originally, those of us who are elders set the rules in the school just to hope that you don't be too ambitious, and they all say that women are virtuous if they are not talented, but a few of those women with a virtuous reputation are illiterate, if they don't have half a talent, even Empress Wende and Ban Zhao can't write "Women's Rules" and "Women's Commandments".
My Shen family doesn't need your sisters to be famous, nor do I want you to be blind, I just hope that you can distinguish between right and wrong after reading and writing, as for how much you want to learn and how much you can learn, it all depends on your personal creation. Rules are dead, people are alive, if you really have the ability to learn one more thing, we are happy to see it.
After that, as long as you can prove to the master and us elders that you have not delayed your normal homework because of learning the flute, I will make the decision for you, and not only will we not blame you, but you can also learn the flute generously in the future. So in my opinion, it's not a big deal, you know?"
Shen Junwei also thought that it would affect her aunt Le's, you know, the aunts of the Shen family are actually not so happy, don't look at the aunts of the big house seem to dare to compete with the eldest lady Ma, that is just that the Ma family is stupid in this regard, and let go of his body to compete with the aunt, plus a few aunts are just ordinary small fights are not a big deal, Feng just turned a blind eye to the affairs of the big house, otherwise in a word, how can the aunts make a fuss.
Hearing that Feng not only would not blame Aunt Le, but as long as he passed the assessment and recognized himself as a flute, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "I understand, Wei'er understands, thank you grandmother! ”
"I see that you still don't understand, I'm not blaming you for having a dispute with your Junying sisters, as long as it's not fratricidal, there are some small contradictions between sisters, and we don't bother to care about how you want to solve it behind closed doors. It's just that no matter how much difference there is between your sisters, you always have to remember that you are all surnamed Shen outside, and you only have a single-minded determination to show discord in front of outsiders, is it possible that the Shen family has lost face, and you can still get good?"
Feng Shi saw Shen Junwei's expression and knew that she hadn't fully understood, and she wasn't in a hurry, so she changed the topic, "Okay, Junwei, you get up first." Shen Junwei glanced at Shen Junhui when she heard this, got up and stood aside.
"Junhui, you've been listening to this for a long time, have you thought clearly, is there anything you want to say to me, a grandmother?" Feng asked a little helplessly, but also a little complicated.
In fact, Shen Junwei was a little strange from the moment she came in, she didn't know what Shen Junhui was making Feng like this, and she kept looking at Shen Junhui curiously after she got up.
Shen Junhui knelt there, his neck bowed, his face with an unruly and unconvinced expression, and he didn't speak.
Feng Shi didn't urge, let alone point out, and seeing that Shen Junhui didn't reply for a long time, he said: "Since that's the case, then my old wife doesn't dislike you, so I won't ask you today." In the evening, all your brothers and sisters should reflect on the recent events in front of my ancestors and ancestors of the Shen family in the ancestral hall, and then you brothers will go to the Hanshui Temple to stay for a while. ”
*******
Shen Junqian was very bored and looked around, saying that she really didn't expect that the Feng family said that the punishment would be so ruthless, after resting for half an hour after eating late, the younger generation of the Shen family obediently went to the ancestral hall to kneel, and they knelt for an hour, but like Shen Junqian, who was so young that they didn't ask them to kneel for an hour, anyway, they knelt or sat with them, in short, they had to stay here with their brothers and sisters to reflect. At this moment, Shen Junqian was sitting lazily on the futon very unimaged.
Because it is divided into men and women, the eldest young master Shen Junhao and his younger brothers kneel on the left, and the eldest girl Shen Junxuan takes her sister to kneel on the right.
Shen Junqian was young and lined up in the back, just as she was looking around boredly, Shen Junluola, who was half-kneeling and half-sitting next to her, pulled her sleeve and pointed at her at the young masters of the Shen family, Shen Junqian looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that her little brother Shen Junrui was squeezing his eyebrows and grimacing at this side, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and secretly laugh.
Probably kneeling for so long, the young ones are a little unbearable, all kneeling is not formed, at first some did not dare to move, and then saw that everyone seemed to be secretly moving, and the courage became bigger one by one, and began to make small movements in the back. As long as the few over the age of nine who are kneeling in front of them are still kneeling upright.
When Feng Shi came in from outside the door with Mama Yan's hand, he saw such a scene.
As soon as he saw Feng Shi come in, the little guy who was sitting, half-kneeling, or making small movements in the back immediately straightened himself and knelt honestly.
Feng Shi looked over the faces of his grandchildren one by one, walked to the front, and said, "Those of us who are elders have always hoped to provide shelter for future generations.
But recently, a lot of things have happened in our Shen family, and there are also a lot of discussions about my Shen family outside, so we find that no matter how we elders protect you, in the end, you still need to face these criticisms by yourself, and face the illwill and various calculations of my Shen family outside.
I don't expect all of you to be sensible and understand, but no matter how old you are now, the older ones will remember the following words of mine in their hearts, and the younger ones will memorize my words to me word by word, but you can hear them clearly?"
In the end, Feng raised his voice and asked sternly.
Seeing Feng like this, the young master and the girl of the Shen family immediately puffed up their chests and replied loudly, "I heard clearly." ”
Feng nodded, and then said: "Our Shen family has always attached equal importance to the young master and the girl, but we treat the young master and the girl's concubines differently, this does not need me to say more, you also know, as for why there is such a difference, I will talk to you today."
Although today's world is not as strict as the previous dynasty, but compared with men, women are still only trapped in the backyard of the inner house.
