5. Afraid of his wife in the dark
Within a few days, the entire Chang'an City knew that Lord Teng, who had won the Sacred Heart, sued Lord Shen Ling, the youngest Tai Hospital in a hundred years, and failed. Along with this incident, the emperor laughed at and scolded Wang Ziteng's words.
Suddenly, the prince became a representative of the "calf guard". Even when Mrs. Wang came to visit Xifeng, she couldn't help but make fun of him. "Even the old lady in our house said that she didn't dare to compare with her brother, she didn't dare to go to the palace to complain because of similar things, even if she loved her grandchildren, she didn't dare to go to the palace to complain."
Today's Mrs. Wang is living a prosperous life, and it is the most proud time in her life. Her eldest son Jia Zhu has a high level of understanding, and Jia Zheng values it very much, and her eldest daughter Yuanchun is the most popular with Jia's mother, and she was taken to Jia's mother at the age of three, and now it has been four or five years. Although Xifeng couldn't see it, she could hear the smile on her face like a flower.
Lin now gets along with her quite well, chatting casually.
"Why didn't you bring Yuan Chun to play, I haven't seen her for a few days. Feng'er ate a honey cloud cake a few days ago and thought it was very good, and said that when my aunt and sister came to play, I would let the kitchen make it for you to eat. Lin peeled a longan grape and stuffed it into Xifeng's mouth.
Xifeng: When did I say this? The aunt said this so naturally, she almost believed it.
Mrs. Wang was very happy when she heard this, and took Xifeng into her arms: "Good boy, it's hard for you to still think about your aunt and your sister." Yuan Chun is only afraid that he will not have time to play with you in three or five months. ”
"What's going on, is Yuan Chun learning something?" Lin guessed casually.
Mrs. Wang nodded: "The old lady found a grandmother from the palace to teach her the rules, and specially invited the master to teach her to read." Now, even when I go to see her, I have to see her when she gets out of school. ”
Xifeng was silent, she heard a little smug from Mrs. Wang's tone. Yuan Chun is her sister, she is definitely not eight years old, and now she is preparing for entering the palace, Mrs. Jia is really far-sighted, and she can see so early that a group of gentlemen in Rongguo Mansion are not angry, and they have to rely on Yuan Chun to hold up a piece of the sky.
"If it were me, I wouldn't have asked Yuanchun to find a grandmother and a master. The little girl learns so much what to do, and when I saw her the other day, she lost weight again. In fact, I wish Yuanchun could be like Feng'er. Mrs. Wang said again.
"Yuanchun's child has a beautiful appearance and a clear mind, and he may have great blessings in the future." Lin said with a smile, picked up another orange and peeled it: "As for Feng'er, the eldest brother and sister-in-law spoiled her first, but now she is raised in front of me, and the old man loves her and hurts all over the city, and we have been used to a little temper." You don't even bother to flip through the notebook in front of her, let alone read. We don't expect anything from her, as long as she's well. Xifeng's mouth was stuffed with several orange petals one after another, which was very sweet.
"That's how it's good to have a little padded jacket by your side," Mrs. Wang was a little envious: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, what is the use and fun of reading those many books." ”
Lin disagreed with this, and after a few jokes, he asked the maid to set the meal, and what Mrs. Wang loved to eat when she was a girl in the house, Mrs. Wang had lunch and walked around the garden and left in a sedan chair.
"I think it's time for you to go to school, too." After Mrs. Wang left, Lin said to Xifeng very seriously: "As for the rules, it can be taught by Mama Song beside you." She used to be the most powerful grandmother next to your grandmother, and then she invited herself to come to you. ”
Xifeng was agitated and pointed to his eyes: "Mama Song is very good, but aunt, I can't see it, how can I read." ”
"It's okay, my aunt will find a master to read it to you."
"Hmm, you're not going to let me write, are you?"
I didn't hear an answer for a while, and when Xifeng was wondering, eight words flowed into her heart. "Wait until your eyes are better before writing." Lin's voice was like a trickle, soothing and soft.
Xifeng's heart was immediately steady, and her aunt was more determined than herself that Shen Ling would definitely be able to cure her eyes. "I listen to my aunt, and I'll practice writing when my eyes are better." Xifeng became an obedient little sheep.
Lin's heart softened and softened, and he grabbed a handful of Xifeng's hair and circled it around his fingers twice: "If the girl's family has a good hand, it is very lovely." ”
Xifeng nodded: "Don't worry, auntie, when my eyes are better, I will definitely practice calligraphy well." I heard that my aunt's hairpin is very beautiful, can you teach me when the time comes? She hadn't yet figured out what it meant to be "lovable."
"I used to teach you to not learn, but now I'm begging me with a shy face, are you embarrassed." Lin gently poked Xifeng's forehead, because Xifeng was much more obedient and sensible than before after losing his blindness, Lin was relieved and distressed. In the past, although Xifeng was also well-behaved, sometimes the young lady's temper came up and she was also very pestering. And now, I don't pester people, I don't talk about it, and I am willing to read and write.
Within a few days, the Lin family really found a good master to teach Xifeng, but the teaching method was different from others. Every morning, the master broke open and crumpled the book that Lin asked for and told it to Xifeng in the vernacular, and Xifeng only listened, and did not endorse or write. In the afternoon, Xifeng went to the Lin family's house, and her aunt personally taught her abacus and housekeeping. Xifeng learned very hard.
But when will her eyes get better?
Three months later, Wang Ziteng sued Shen Ling in front of the emperor, and his statement was generous and indignant, and he had the posture of wanting to eat Shen Ling alive. It's been almost four months, and he hasn't cured his niece yet, and he's not playing with this bastard! But he saw Xifeng's teeth grinning when he was poked by needles all day long, and said that he couldn't be cured, and the two of them were still arguing with him. The prince, who had been angry for a long time and ignored the concubine, went to the Qin family and the Su family to rest for a night. Then Wang Ziteng always felt awkward, so he simply didn't bother with the concubine and went to sleep in the study by himself.
The old emperor was helpless, it was not enough to work on the people's livelihood all day, and he had to deal with disputes for these unconscious courtiers.
"Aiqing, if Shen Ling heals your niece's eyes, what will you do?"
"Then you have to let the minister poke him a few hundred needles first." Wang Ziteng said hatefully.
"Aiqing, don't be impatient, Shen Ling, his kind of strict and old-fashioned person will never be cured and delay time, give him some more time. You don't want your eyeball-eyed niece to be invisible for the rest of her life. "The old emperor was in a good mood today, and persuaded the prince to say a few words, and finally calmed him down.
The next day, when Shen Ling went to ask for peace in the pulse, the emperor chatted with him: "Wang Ziteng almost begged me directly yesterday to not let you treat his niece." ”
"Your Majesty, you don't have to pay attention to it, because Lord Wang, his wife, and niece disagreed, but they couldn't convince them, so they came to you. Wechen has gradually found the essentials, and in a few months, it should be able to improve. Shen Ling's expression was very strict, and he didn't mean to laugh at all.
"Oh~ How can I listen, this prince Teng not only protects the calf, but is also afraid of his wife."
"When I returned to the emperor, the minister listened to the tone of the conversation between Lord Wang and his wife, not because he was afraid of his wife, but because he seemed to respect her very much."
"I don't care about this matter, anyway, Wang Ziteng can't resist his daughter-in-law and niece." The emperor pursed his lips and waved his hand to let Shen Ling retreat, and then asked Liang Bo, the great eunuch beside him: "Alas, how do you describe this afraid wife?" ”
After a lapse of three months, Prince Teng, the youngest favorite of the Shenlu Dynasty, once again became the talk of Chang'an people after dinner, and within two days, everyone gave the prince a nickname "the one who is afraid of his wife".
This matter is probably known to the entire Chang'an City, and only Wang Ziteng is still in the dark.
