Chapter 216: Noble Character

As soon as the man left, Shen Changfeng rushed out from the depths of the forest. He brought a large handful of green plums to Niu Niu.

Shen Changfeng looked at the back of a middle-aged man being helped away not far away. He felt a little familiar and couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

But he didn't think much about it and continued to offer treasures.

"My dear, look at the green plums I picked for you. Those monks hid the plum blossoms deep in the forest, but it's not a problem for me. I have to pick up a lot of them every year and put them in bottles." Shen Changfeng's eyes Bright and cheerful, as if he had done something great.

Gu Yan frowned slightly: "Stealed?"

Shen Changxing explained: "My family does not know how much money they have to add to the temple every year for sesame oil. The group of monks actually knew that I wanted to pick it for a long time, but they did not dare to stop me for fear that my mother would run out of money for the sesame oil."

Although Niu Niu felt that flowers should not be picked randomly, she was not disappointed. She happily took two and said, "Thank you, Brother Shen. The green plums are so beautiful."

Shen Changfeng was very happy to see that she liked it, and said, "When the flowers in my garden are in full bloom, I will take you to see that one, too."

Niu Niu's eyes were full of curiosity and she said: "I have never seen a hundred flowers blooming. When I see flowers blooming, they bloom in bursts and rarely in one place."

Few people in the countryside grow flowers. If they have land, they would be more willing to raise some cash crops.

Shen Changfeng said: "I'll let you see enough this year, but no matter how nice my garden is, it can't compare to my uncle's garden outside the city. Unfortunately, my mother has begged him several times, but he refused to give it."

Niu Niu looked at him with wide eyes and said, "You have a big garden at home, so there is no need to envy others."

Shen Changfeng did not continue to struggle, but looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's go pick up Azhao. He must have been tortured by Lao Yantou, hehe."

Niuniu nodded vigorously and asked again: "Brother Shen, have you finished writing your poem?"

After hearing this, Shen Changfeng's face suddenly froze.

When he entered the peach blossom forest, Gu Mingda suggested that he try writing a peach blossom poem, but he was so focused on stealing green plums that he completely forgot about it.

When several children came to Gu Mingda, Shen Changfeng still couldn't think of a reason to prevaricate, but Gu Mingda didn't ask him and just led them down the mountain.

Gu Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw his family leaving and coming back. He grabbed Liu Yue and ran away: "Okay, okay, I know my parents love me the most and will not be able to leave me here for too long. I will go back with you and study hard."

Old Doctor Yan snorted coldly and said, "Go back to study and don't touch my bugs."

Gu Zhao had a sad face, but he still couldn't bear to part with those bugs. He didn't know where Old Doctor Yan found them, but there were many bugs of unknown species!

Zhang Yunniang said: "Go back tonight and come back early tomorrow morning."

The expression on Gu Zhao's face suddenly cracked.

"If I can't escape, I might as well live here."

"The whole family is having dinner at Zhuangyuanlou tonight, do you really not want to eat?" Zhang Yunniang asked.

As soon as Gu Zhao heard about the food, his eyes suddenly lit up.

After picking up Gu Zhao, the group returned to the city in a carriage, and the whole family went to Zhuangyuan Building to have dinner.

Shen Changfeng insisted on leaving regardless of Gu Zhao's pleas to stay the night, but he was still thinking about writing poems.

After all, he couldn't hold it back. He stood in front of the carriage and ignored the urging of his entourage. He turned to ask, "Uncle Gu, why don't you ask me how my poem is going?"

Gu Mingda said: "What do you think?"

Shen Changfeng couldn't help but lower his head and said, "I was just having fun, but I didn't write a poem."

"Look, you know your situation very well and you don't need me to say anything more." Gu Mingda said warmly.

Shen Changfeng asked: "Why don't you reprimand me?"

Gu Mingda asked back: "Changfeng, your past husband often scolded you, what do you think?"

Shen Changfeng was speechless for a moment. The harder the gentlemen scolded him, the less he could concentrate on studying, as if he was trapped in some kind of vicious cycle.

Gu Mingda said: "Now you and I have not established a formal master-disciple status. Changfeng, you should think about it carefully. What do you want to learn from me? Also think about how you want to go in the future."

"Uncle Gu, are you afraid of accepting me as your disciple?" Shen Changfeng suddenly asked a strange question.

Gu Mingda looked puzzled and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to succeed and will ruin your reputation in the future..."

Gu Mingda reached out and patted his shoulder and said: "How old are you, why do you worry about this? In my opinion, you have already become a talent."

Faced with the doubtful look in his disciple's eyes, Gu Mingda explained: "The world's definitions of success vary widely. Some people think that a disciple is successful only when he is better than his master. Some people think that a disciple is successful only when he has achieved something."

"I think you are brave and responsible. You were born into a wealthy family. You could have been a playboy who committed crimes, but you took care of the young, showed compassion to others, and helped others when they needed help. This is something that many people have been unable to do for a lifetime. Possessing noble qualities.”

"You are a rare good boy, so there is no need to belittle yourself because of some unpleasant words."

When Shen Changfeng returned to the princess mansion, he still felt warm all over his body.

As soon as he entered the door, before he saw his mother, he saw his father with a dark face.

"Don't you know what time it is? You were out in the wild and you didn't come back until now!" Shen Fushan scolded with disgust on his face.

Shen Changfeng listened to his father's scolding and asked, "Father, do you look down on me so much? If I don't come back at night, I must have done something wrong outside?"

Shen Fushan didn't hesitate at all, sneered, and said, "Can you do anything good when you go out? You just eat, drink and have fun all day long, and you don't do anything serious! I have been smart all my life, why did I give birth to a useless thing like you! Why can't you learn from Changjun!"

Shen Changfeng's eyes darkened when he heard it, but he thought about it.

You think I am inferior to Shen Changjun in every way, and think I am a disgusting playboy, but some people think I have noble qualities and am a rare good child.

"Did you know that I didn't come back last night?" Shen Changfeng asked.

Shen Fushan looked as if it was true, and said, "You evil creature who sleeps with flowers and willows, I will deal with you today!"

"Father, do I only do this kind of thing?" Shen Changfeng asked back.

"You dare to talk back?" Shen Fushan frowned.

Shen Changfeng said: "Father doesn't ask questions, but if he asks someone, he will know where I went."

After he finished speaking, he ignored Shen Fushan and walked towards his yard.

Niuniu was right, the one with the problem was his father, not him.
