Chapter 13 Hurry
The next day, the painting class came as scheduled, and the first thing Mr. Xu did before the class was to ask Si Ying: "Did you bring the money?" ”
Si Ying gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "My aunt said let me use this, it's the same......"
Mr. Xu was furious: "Have you made it clear to your family, all my students use this, how did you tell your family, you tell me, how could your family disagree?" ”
Si Ying lowered her head and didn't say a word, how dare she repeat Zhang's words to her husband, and all the students in the room also watched silently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Mr. Xu continued: "I also asked you before, you have difficulties at home, and I didn't force you to buy it, since you are not a boarding student, you should be the same as everyone else, is it possible that you can still be special?" Who are you in your family? ”
Si Ying still didn't speak, and Mr. Xu forced him to ask, "Say! ”
Si Ying then replied: "My uncle-in-law is the chief bookkeeper of the capital water supervisor......
As soon as Mr. Xu heard that it was really not a great official, he knew that the more this little official eunuch family could not wait, the more things would happen, and sneered: "I taught his girl at Bai Shilang's house before, and I also have to use this picture box, is there more pomp and circumstance in your family than others?" ”
Si Ying couldn't help but argue: "My aunt said that this box has more colors and pens than that box, and I am still young and I don't know how to learn too many techniques, so I can use it to practice first, and then buy it after I finish painting." Si Ying had tried his best to restrain his tone and try to be as tactful as possible, but it was obviously useless.
Mr. Xu saw that she actually talked back, thinking that the reason why her family didn't buy a picture box was because she looked down on him as a gentleman and regarded him as a seller of picture boxes, which poked his self-esteem, so the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and shouted angrily at Si Ying: "Heh, does your family treat my class as a child's play?" Get out of here, depending on who you are, don't come to my class in the future! ”
Si Ying's face turned red and white, biting her lip tightly, she had never been so humiliated in public, she lowered her head, packed her things, and walked out of the schoolhouse, she heard the buzzing behind her accompanied by gloating laughter.
I didn't walk a few steps out of the school building, and I happened to run into Peng Zhaichang. Peng Zhai saw that it was her and asked, "You haven't finished class yet, why did you come out?" ”
Si Ying felt aggrieved, so he told him about it. Peng Zhaichang glanced at Si Ying and said, "Mr. Xu has a reason for doing this, you go back first, ask the family to solve this matter quickly, and I will ask Mr. Xu to intercede when I go back." ”
Si Ying heard that Peng Zhaichang's tone was perfunctory and cold, and her heart was half cold, knowing that it was impossible to expect Peng Zhaichang to stand up for her, so she only bowed her head and said, "Yes, then I'll go back first." Peng Zhai nodded and turned to leave.
Because the time for class had not yet arrived, Mother Lu had not come to pick her up, so she slowly paced back to her aunt's house alone. Zhang was directing the maids to move things in the courtyard, and she wanted Shen Qianhe to move to the West Chamber. Seeing Si Ying running back, he asked, "Why did you come back so early today?" ”
Si Ying lowered his head, stabilized his voice, and said, "Mr. said that if you don't buy the painting box he said, I won't be allowed to attend her class in the future." ”
Zhang was furious and scolded: "What kind of gentleman is this, he is clearly a second-class dealer!" Oh, no wonder people say that girls can't teach good children, so they invite some indiscriminate people to teach students! He won't let you go to class, just don't go in the future, from tomorrow, you will stay in the room, learn needlework, and wait for another two years, you should get married, what kind of books are you going to learn, that's not what women should do! ”
Seeing that Si Ying was still standing there with his head down, the maids and women in the courtyard were staring at him with wide eyes, and he also felt that he had lost the manners of the official wife, so he slowed down his tone and said to Si Ying: "Okay, don't bask in the sun today, go back to the house." ”
Si Yingsheng wanted to say something, but Mrs. Lu tugged at her sleeve and glanced at her, Si Yingshengsheng resisted the urge to talk back to his aunt, walked back to his room behind him quickly, closed the door, only to feel that his chest was blocked for a while, his hands were also a little trembling, and he sat on the bed dejectedly, feeling that no money was such pain for the first time. In the evening, Mrs. Lu brought her food, and saw that she was still sitting there in a daze, not even lighting the lamp, sighed, shook her head, put down the food box and left.
The next day, Si Ying thought that her aunt's anger should have passed, so she packed her things and went out to school again.
Who would have thought that Zhang Shi heard the movement, but he stopped, opened his mouth and said with anger: "Girl, what I told you yesterday, you should turn a deaf ear, I said that I won't go to the girls' school!" You should stay at home and not go anywhere. ”
Si Ying's heart sank, and said, "Auntie, let me go, there are important things related to me in school these days......
"Anything important, you've been kicked out, and you have to rush up! You will lose all the face of your family, don't go, go back to your house! Zhang interrupted Si Ying's words impatiently.
Si Ying was anxious, but he still suppressed his temperament, and pleaded with kind words: "Auntie, then I can't leave quietly like this, so I have to go and explain to the school......"
"This matter, I will let my mother go to the school and say, you don't need to go, you go back to the house now, start to study girl red from today, don't think about those useless people all day long, you are not small, you should be sensible, okay, go back." Don't go out these days. Zhang refused to be accommodating at all. Si Ying was dragged back to the house by Zhang's mother-in-law, and Zhang locked the door from the outside.
Si Ying had no choice, slammed on the door and pleaded: "Auntie, today you will let me go to the girls' school, tomorrow I will be obedient and at home, okay?" Anyway, she wanted to tell the superintendent about herself.
Zhang said to Si Ying through the door in a serious tone: "Don't blame me for locking you, in the past, your mother was not in good health and didn't have the energy to take care of you, so it was up to your temperament, but you are going to marry a wife after all, if you don't correct it now, in the future, in front of your in-laws, it will not be you who will suffer." Calm down and think about it yourself. With that, he left.
Si Ying begged outside a few more times, and when he saw that there was no movement, he knew that his aunt had left, so he sat down a little depressed, what should he do now...... Do you really have to do what your aunt says......
Suddenly stood up, walked to the table, spread out the paper, started to write, and after a while, an article was written, read it carefully, and carefully changed a few words, and she carefully copied it again with hairpins.
At noon, Mother Lu came to deliver food, and when she saw Si Ying sitting there, staring at her with dark eyes, she felt that this girl was making some idea, so she said first: "Don't beg me to let you out, Mrs. has given a strict order, not to let you go secretly, the mother-in-law at the front and back doors have been instructed, even if you get out of the house, you can't go out of the yard." ”
Si Ying smiled: "I'm not going to run, Mother Lu, aren't you going to go to the girls' school later, just ask you for a small favor......"
Peng Zhai hurriedly went to Jin Xuezheng and said: "Xuezheng, don't worry about the matter of the special talent clause now, today Gu Siying's mother-in-law came over and said that her aunt decided to let her drop out of school." Since her family didn't let her come, this matter is gone. The meeting doesn't have to be held. ”
Jin Xuezheng raised his eyebrows and said, "That kid didn't come today?" ”
"No, I wasn't there this morning when the roll call was called." Peng Zhai said with a long smile.
"It's also strange, her family didn't let her come well, why did she suddenly not let her come again?" Jin Xue is a person who goes to the bottom of things.
Peng Zhai couldn't help but smile: "It's a coincidence, yesterday, Gu Siying's child actually had a conflict with Mr. Xu...... and told Jin Xuezheng about it, and said: "I'm afraid her family felt that she had lost face, so she dropped out of school in anger...... You said that if you really want to sleep, someone will send you a pillow......"
Jin Xuezheng sneered: "I don't think Mr. Xu is a serious scholar, hey, now the Taiping Academy can only invite such a gentleman." Well, I don't have any of their. ”
Peng Zhaichang took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jin Xuezheng: "Oh, that mother-in-law is waiting outside, you stamp this withdrawal document, and I will take that mother-in-law to find the school governor." Got the formalities done today......"
Jin Xuezheng thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "Slow, you push that mother-in-law, just say that the school governor is not here these days, and the matter can't be done, and let her come over to get the documents again at the beginning of next month." ”
Peng Zhaichang frowned: "This ...... Xuezheng, we don't want to keep her, she didn't take the initiative to come, isn't that right? ”
"This matter will be suppressed first, there will be two days before leaving the meeting, if the school governor goes to the Empress Dowager Cihui to ask for instructions, will Gu Siying's aunt be unreasonable? Besides, if she doesn't come by herself, it's a matter of morality...... At that time, at the all-staff meeting, I would like to see what Inspector Yang will explain to everyone...... I say that, you know? Jin Xuezheng said with a smile, the Taiping School Palace is one acre and three points of land, and the fight is not just a right to speak, and it is a rare opportunity to openly attack Yang Xuedu and Jiang Xuejian at the plenary meeting.
Peng Zhaichang still hesitated and said, "But after all, Mr. Xu's handling of this matter is not all in charge...... If you really talk about it......"
"Of course, Mr. Xu is disrespectful to the teacher, but this child should not skip class because he was wronged, she suffered in prison, so her heart has changed, although she is talented, but her moral character is not right, and she will not be able to bear heavy responsibilities in the future, even Mr. Pei may not be partial to the school governor. Don't make a big deal about it. Jin Xuezheng smiled.
"But I'm afraid it's hard to hide this matter...... "Peng Zhaichang felt very difficult.
"It's good to drag it out today, the first day of August is the death anniversary of Emperor Zhongzong, and the Empress Dowager Cihui has to fast for three days every year, so from tomorrow, all the people who hand over the sign will not see, and the palace door will be closed at four o'clock, and Yang Xuedu will not hand the sign before Shen Shi, and then I want to see the Queen Mother at the beginning of next month. As long as Gu Si can't come in the past two days, we have something to say. The day after tomorrow, the meeting will be held, and it will be too late for her to ask for any more will. Jin Xuezheng's voice was faintly proud, God helped me.
