Chapter 40, A Blessing in Disguise

The shogunate slaves made a big fuss about family learning, and Mu Chenfeng was punished and suspended from school and thought about it behind closed doors in the backyard, but before the time had passed, Mu Chenxue carried a snack and took Mu Chenfeng to the outer courtyard study to ask for guilt. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mu Qian looked at the pair of children kneeling in front of him with a cold face. Mu Chenxue gave his younger brother an encouraging look, and Mu Chenfeng suppressed the fear in his heart, and had the courage to ask his father for guilt according to what his sister taught, "Father, my son's unfilial piety has made you angry!" The son's homeschooling is only afraid of delaying the studies of his brother and starling, so please ask the father to punish his son to go to the county school to study! ”

But there are not many children of officials and eunuchs who are worth a lot of money who will go to the county to study, after all, most of them are the sons of businessmen and commoners. And these people hold their own identity, even if they are concubines, they feel that they are one level higher than those people, and this punishment is even heavier than suspension from school.

"If only you could know what was wrong, go back to the backyard and think about it behind closed doors! Wait for the end of the Peng pediatric examination and then resume classes, the county school is not where people like us should go after all! Mu Qian felt that his son could know his mistake and even asked for a heavier punishment, which showed that he was remorseful, and this matter was not all the fault of Brother Jiu'er, and it was too heavy to punish him to go to the county school committee. He put away the coldness on his face for a few minutes, and raised his hand to send his children away.

Seeing that his father refused, Mu Chenfeng was a little anxious, and turned his head to look at his sister. Mu Chenxue understands that his younger brother is still young, and it is not easy to explain his meaning clearly, and he can't force him. smiled at Mu Chenfeng, and then looked at his father, "Father, my aunt learned that you were moved by the incident of Brother Jiu'er, and she was worried about your body, so she specially made two snacks to nourish your body and nourish your qi!" ”

This stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, Mu Chenxue handed over the food box first, and Mu Qian didn't want his daughter to hold it like this, and waved his hand to let Manager Liu take it, and then looked at his daughter, "Tell Cheng, I have her heart." Let her supervise Brother Jiu'er more, fortunately, Cheng Mansion is also a scholarly family, and she should understand the truth that a loving mother is more defeated! ”

"Yes! The daughter respects her father's teachings! But the daughter thinks that Brother Jiu'er is often punished by his master for trivial things these days, and in the long run, he is only afraid of delaying his schoolwork, but he is afraid that he will alarm his mother and get angry together. It's better to punish him to go to the county school according to the ninth brother's request, so that the father and mother don't have to worry about the starling anymore! "This is the purpose of Mu Chenxue's coming, if Mu Chenfeng continues to stay at home to study, he will only be mistaken by the eldest lady, it is better to go to the county school to study according to what he thinks, maybe he will be more productive in the future.

"It's just that this kind of punishment is too heavy!" Mu Qian pretended to be a loving father again, and hated Mu Chenxue twice, so that he didn't show sarcasm, and forced the discomfort in his stomach to continue to persuade.

"There is a cloud in the Book of Filial Piety, 'A person's behavior is greater than filial piety, and filial piety is greater than a strict father.'" The father is doing this for the good of the two sons of Starling and Ninth Brother, and he is also considering the hard work of his mother. If the father still feels that the punishment is too heavy, it is better to take the ninth brother to visit the master of the county school in person, so that the master can take more care of the ninth brother! Mu Chenxue mentioned the eldest lady several times, just to remind Mu Qian.

Sure enough, although Mu Qian was still a little hesitant, his eyes had loosened. He was only worried that the punishment would go to the county school, but he was afraid that outsiders would listen to him and make irresponsible remarks. But when I thought of my daughter's words just now, and thought of the jealous lady, I thought that Mrs. would be happy when she thought of such a decision, and saw that her son did not hate her sister-in-law because of this matter, and she could still think about her mother and brother-in-law, so she finally nodded.

"Well, since it was invited by Brother Jiu'er to care about his parents' filial piety and brotherly affection, it is not easy for his father to refute his sincerity. Steward Liu went to prepare the car, this county school has not yet ended, I will take Brother Jiu'er to see it first, if Brother Jiu'er is not used to it, then forget it. Bring the two snacks made by Aunt Cheng and send them to the master in time! Mu Chenfeng almost laughed out loud with joy, Mu Chenxue hurriedly covered his younger brother with his body, and waited for Steward Liu to retreat, and then the two got up.

Taking advantage of the time to prepare the car, Mu Qian explained to his son again, Mu Chenxue only stood aside and listened, she still had something to say to Mu Chenfeng, so she didn't leave immediately. When Steward Liu came back, Mu Qian had already changed his clothes and walked out of the study with his hands behind his back.

Mu Chenxue finally waited for the opportunity, took his younger brother's hand, and said in a suppressed voice, "The ninth brother must not be happy, and remember to be happy and sad!" Whatever the Master asks, you will answer, and if you don't know, don't talk nonsense. Rest assured to follow my father, my sister is waiting for you to come back! ”

A few steps away, Mu Chenxue didn't have time to say more even if he had a full stomach, so he could only pick out two important words of advice, and watched Mu Chenfeng leave the house.

Steward Liu walked at the back, although the old man didn't see anything, he saw it clearly, thinking about all the things that happened that day, and didn't dare to have a trace of contempt for this fifth lady. "It looks like the shogunate is about to change!" muttered in his heart, and then lowered his head and followed Muchen Peak.

Back in the backyard, Mu Chenxue went directly to see her mother, Cheng, "Mother, my father has promised to let Brother Jiu'er go to the county to study, and this son is taking Brother Jiu'er to the county to learn to see the master!" ”

"Master, didn't he just punish Brother Jiu'er for thinking about it behind closed doors, why did he change his mind before he could do it in one afternoon?" When her son was suspended from school, how could Aunt Cheng not be sad in her heart, but it was only a while before her son could go to the county school to study. My daughter has been busy all afternoon, what has she done? Cheng felt that he didn't know much about this daughter anymore.

Mu Chenxue briefly said what had just happened, and when Cheng heard the end, tears appeared in his eyes again, "Fifth sister, you tell Wei Niang, is it your idea to do all this?" ”

"Yes and not all! Fang Yan made a big fuss about family learning, not because his daughter was surprised, but because his daughter used this incident to fulfill Brother Jiu'er's mind. Mu Chenxue looked at her mother calmly, she had a lot of secrets, but after getting along these days, she believed that even if she behaved abnormally, Aunt Cheng would not regard herself as a demon. So what should be known to Cheng, she will no longer hide anything.

"Auntie, look at you crying again. Miss Five, an old slave like this, looked at it with joy in her heart. This can turn a bad thing into a good thing, even Miss Four can't do it even if she is afraid. It's still our fifth lady who is smart! "In Jiang's mother's eyes, of course, her own children are the best. Watching Miss Five grow up day by day, not only distinguishing between unfilial piety and motherhood, but even presiding over the overall situation to protect her relatives, she can finally rest assured.

"Yes, look at me, it's just that my eye sockets are shallow. If this matter can pass like this, Brother Jiu'er will be a blessing in disguise! Aunt Cheng's heart is still not steady, but what Jiang's mother said is also reasonable, seeing that her daughter is becoming stronger and stronger, and even being able to protect her younger brother, even if she dies at this moment, she will no longer worry about her son.

Mu Chenxue chatted with Aunt Cheng for a few more words, and then went to see Fang Yan. There are some truths that she wants Fang Yan to understand.
