C14 Fu Jiang Was Speaking Nonsense
Initially, the steward didn't dare to ask what the young master was doing outside, nor did he dare to inquire about it. But now that the man had delivered the gift to him, the steward had to ask for clarification.
Once the doors of the Censorate were opened, the gift could not be entered for no reason. It would tarnish the reputation of the old master. The butler went over and over to find out the reason. He understood that this was a joyous occasion for the seven-year-old, so he accepted the gift with a smile on his face.
When Fu Shen returned from the yamen, he chased after him with a smile on his face and replied, "Old master, the eldest son has an official inviting him to a duel at the age of seven. Regardless of whether he wins or loses, he will definitely have the title of a scholar."
When Fu Shen heard the butler's words, he felt an itch in his heart. He did not return to the house to change his clothes and directly went to the courtyard to look for his eldest son. Speaking of which, he had been specially nurtured for the past eight years. If Fu Shen did not seriously think about it, sometimes he would really treat Fu Si as his son.
Walking to the glass window of the warm pavilion, Fu Tine's body was weak and afraid of the cold. She entered the warm pavilion before autumn. Seeing Fu Tine holding a folding fan shaped ruler and hitting Fu Jiang's palm, she said righteously, "Studying knowledge is the most taboo to swallow the jujubes without swallowing the jubes. When you are seven years old, you want to soar into the sky before you have learned the Middle Average. Who taught you that?"
"Big brother has already finished reading all the books in father's library. Why can't Fu Jiang?" Fu Jiang also had a point. He stretched out his little hand and tried to argue with reason, "If big brother can do it, Fu Jiang can do it too." Although he said so, his little palm curled up and refused to open. He was still afraid of fighting.
How could anyone bear to blame him? He was so studious that he even got scolded. Could it be that he wanted to teach someone a lesson? Fu Tine's bellyful of blame immediately disappeared without a trace. She turned around and said to Fu Jiang's personal attendant, "I knew that you were lazy on normal days. Qiu Yeyang even let him miss the night to study. You deserve to be beaten. "
Chang Sui was also a half grown kid. He was so scared that he knelt down. He raised his hands and placed them in front of Fu Tine. After taking a few tickles on the board, Chang Sui thought to himself, This young master's board is getting more and more comfortable, how about I not be lazy... He thought about it again and again. It was not possible either. If he was really lazy... It would be too much of a sin to make him angry. Thus, he repeatedly said, "It's fine if Eldest Young Master beat up a servant, but don't ruin your body and bones."
When the butler saw that the old master didn't say anything, he saw it clearly from the side. In his heart, he thought highly of Eldest Young Master, "Old Master, our Eldest Young Master, that's really something you can't say."
"It's because it's too good that I'm worried. Sigh..." Fu Shen waved his hand and discarded all distracting thoughts. "Si-er Jiang Er, have you finished your studies today? A house full of servants playing with their palms?"
It was not strange that her father came to her courtyard. "Father..." Fu Tine saw that after the family ceremony, she gave way to her father to take a seat. Only then did she accompany him. The tea and other things were sent by her own hands to her father's side and followed the proper etiquette of her son.
Fu Shen had always been very satisfied with Fu Si's propriety and self-restraint. He enjoyed being a father and looked at Fu Jiang at the same time. When he saw him standing at the side with a flushed face, he could not bear it. "Jiang Er, sit down too. Where have you learned your lesson now?" It was always a good thing to love learning. It was just that this habit of being greedy needed to be taught.
Three million and two years ago, Fu Jiang had finished his studies. Fu Shen knew that. Fu Jiang saw that his father was studying and hurriedly replied seriously, "I have finished reading Young Jade and Classics of filial piety ." When he said this, he puckered his lips and said, "Father, I also want to study University and Intermediate ."
Fu Shen nodded secretly. His son's aptitude was not comparable to his daughter's. This instructor's program was not wrong at all. It should have been like this. He turned around and asked, "You've read all four books?"
He was not in a hurry to reply. Fu Tine only placed the peeled orange on a small golden plate. She sent it to her father's hand. "I have only read it." What she meant was that her father would naturally save it. He took the towel and handed it to his father. "Father came in such a hurry, and you haven't changed your clothes yet?" He glanced at the people who followed him. "I knew it. You're just following me like a fool. You shouldn't call me daddy wider."
"Don't blame them. I was the one who came to see you in a hurry." Fu Shen picked up the orange by his hand and peeled off a piece. "Jiang Er, come here." When he walked to the front, he handed the missing orange to the mouth of the river. "Can you eat it?" The peeled piece was sent to Fu Tine's mouth. "I know this is good for you, but you should eat less. It's hot." Eat less and then feed???
Fu Jiang seemed to know what his father meant, but he was unwilling. He took the orange and said, "That's fine too." Then he opened his mouth and took a bite, causing the maidservant beside him to hand over the towel and wipe her mouth.
"You silly Jiang, look at this bite... It's the same, I have to take a bite to eat it." Fu Tine was amused by her brother. She held the orange in her mouth and pointed at the slovenly Fu Jiang in front of her chest. She laughed and said, "Daddy, Little Jiang Jiang Jiang is really interesting."
"Why does big brother always call me Little Jiang Jiang? I... I have words too." When the words came out of her mouth, she was the first to be in trouble. Her originally red face immediately turned white and she knelt down, "I was wrong."
According to the ancient etiquette, an adult man could only use a word, so the two children only knew that they had a word. However, no one called out to them. Moreover, the sons of concubines rarely had words, even if the father doted on them and gave them the words' New Year '. If the son of the first wife was still underage, the words could not be used. Not only could he not call out to others, he could not even mention it when he introduced himself.
Fu Jiang said this. Not only did it exceed the etiquette, it was a big taboo. The Wealthy Class High Duke's Public House placed great importance on the hierarchy of the family. A single sentence from them could cause internal strife in the house. If there was a severe case, the family would lose its status and reputation.
Fu Tine was also intimidated by her brother's words. After a while, she remembered that her father would definitely be angry. She hurriedly peeled another piece of orange and broke it. She handed it over to him across the table, "Father, don't be angry. Little brother just said something wrong when he was young. Si-er usually saw that little brother's character was good and upright, so she definitely would not think that way." Her little hand stretched out with a face full of desire.
