Chapter 253 Give Respect

The princess frowned slightly as she looked at her husband, who looked like he wanted to hit someone.

To be honest, although they were husband and wife, the princess was busy in the inner court most of the time and didn't spend much time at home. She didn't bother to care what her husband did at home all day.

As a son-in-law, he couldn't become an official. Before getting married, the princess made it clear to her husband.

But the son-in-law who made the choice still got drunk at home after marriage because he saw his former classmates who took the imperial examinations rise step by step.

After she gave birth to the child, she also made a request to the son-in-law, hoping that the son-in-law could help take care of the child.

Unfortunately, the two children are not close to the son-in-law now. Obviously, he did not fulfill his responsibility as a full-time father in those years.

The princess always felt sorry for his career, even though he didn't teach Shen Changfeng well. Her husband said that her son was born difficult to carve. The princess believed it, thinking that Shen Changfeng might be a stubborn stone. Even if he didn't become a talent, she would help him in the future. She didn't bother with Shen Fushan.

Now Shen Changfeng has a good master, and his son, who was originally ignorant of etiquette and rash, is gradually acting like a brother.

Now that her husband is gone, the family is happy and harmonious.

When her husband appeared, the originally cheerful atmosphere was swept away, and the princess suddenly felt that he was very annoying.

No one likes a spoiler. Hearing the husband's mouth opening and closing at this time, he scolded Shen Changfeng, and the princess interrupted him.

"Okay, the husband is tired after drinking, go and rest." The princess still saved his dignity.

After all, no matter what, the husband is the father of a pair of children.

But Shen Fushan didn't realize the princess' dissatisfaction, and continued to scold Shen Changfeng: "If jade is not polished, it will not be made into a useful tool. Princess, in order to make this child successful, you still have to use severe punishment!"

The eldest princess' face turned cold: "Come here, the prince consort is drunk and has started to talk nonsense!"

The eldest princess can allow the prince consort to scold and scold his children, but never allow him to use family rules.

Shen Fushan was stunned for a moment. After all, even if the eldest princess refused to beat the child, she rarely let him down.

Soon, the guards came into the room and took Shen Fushan away.

Although the eldest princess did not give her husband face, she turned around and explained to her children: "Drunk people are unreasonable, and your father didn't mean to do this."

Shen Ling didn't say anything.

But Shen Changfeng shook his head: "It's not like that. He didn't drink much. He just simply hates me."

The eldest princess noticed her son's expression and remembered how high-spirited her son was when he came home and mentioned the interesting things in the Gu family.

Now the whole person seems to have suffered a huge blow, like a cabbage that has been drained of water.

The reason for this change is simply because her husband came into the room and scolded her a few times.

The eldest princess felt sorry for her son, but she still made up for her husband: "How could your father hate you? He is your biological father, and he just hopes that you will do well."

Shen Changfeng shook his head.

The eldest princess had no choice but to continue to persuade: "Your father was originally a Jinshi who passed the imperial examination. He has a lot of skills, but he can't show his strengths in the officialdom. He also has high hopes for you..."

Shen Changfeng saw that his mother was still persuading, so he simply made it clear: "Mother, when he scolded me just now, his nose wrinkled and his upper lip bulged. He just hated me!"

The eldest princess and Shen Ling were stunned when they heard this: "What does this have to do with hating you?"

Shen Changfeng continued: "Such changes in the face are a manifestation of disgust for others. Today, my master taught me how to read people's expressions."

The eldest princess was surprised and said: "Your master actually taught you this? "

Shen Changfeng honestly said what Gu Mingda said: "Teacher said that with my status, I don't need to work as hard as others to take the imperial examination to become an official, so there is no need to take reading too seriously. Just let me pick up the books I like to read. "

"I want to be an official. Most likely, my mother asked my uncle to give me an official position. He said that being an official is ultimately about dealing with people. If I want to make some achievements, I must learn to be a good person and observe people's words and expressions. "

In fact, the eldest princess has never carefully thought about how Shen Changfeng will go in the future. She did not have high hopes for Shen Changfeng and never expected her son to have any great prospects.

She asked Shen Changfeng to worship Gu Mingda as his teacher. On the one hand, it was to prevent Shen Changfeng from staying at home all day and the father and son from getting along. He should be able to learn something from Gu Mingda, a scholar. On the other hand, it was also to repay her gratitude and become a backer for the Gu family.

With the official status of master and apprentice, those who are not good-sighted in the capital who want to move the Gu family have to consider the face of the princess's mansion.

The princess felt that she had gained a lot from this unintentional move.

She did not plan a good future for her son, but Gu Mingda helped her think it through.

She thought about Gu Mingda's words carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. After all, being an official is just being a human being. She just felt that this master was particularly worth worshipping.

"How did your master teach you?" the princess asked.

Shen Changfeng did not think much about it. It was new knowledge he had just learned today, so it was easy for him to repeat it at this time.

The princess did not expect Gu Mingda to teach so carefully. She thought that it should be difficult to teach to observe words and expressions, but who would have thought that Gu Mingda would use such a method.

Shen Changfeng looked at his mother's expression at this time and said, "You and your sister's expressions now seem to be surprised."

Shen Changfeng even took out the small bronze mirror he carried with him, facing his mother's face, and explained: "Look, when you are surprised, your eyebrows are raised, your eyes are bigger than before, and your mouth is slightly open."

After hearing this, the princess couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder when father was alive, he always taught your uncle to not show his emotions and not let others know his thoughts. It turns out that his thoughts are so obvious on his face."

Shen Ling pulled his mother's sleeve aside: "Mom, I also want to go to Gu's house for classes! The food at Gu's house is good, and Mr. Gu's class is interesting! I want to learn too!"

The princess said: "It's not enough to send your brother to disturb others, but you also have to send you there? Besides, you are a girl, just ask the teacher to teach you at home, what's the big deal about sending you to the male teacher's house?"

After hearing this, Shen Ling turned to pester her brother: "Brother, can you go home every day? Teach me everything you learned at Gu's house?"

Shen Changfeng saw that his sister was so pitiful, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. At most, he would work harder and go out early and come back late every day.

The princess looked at her son and suddenly felt that he seemed to have grown up.

But later, when Shen Ling also left and it was only the mother and son, the princess whispered: "Your father may not really hate you, he may just not know that you have made it..."

Shen Changfeng was no longer the child who was easily comforted in the past: "Mother, do you know why I like to stay in the Gu family?"

The princess was puzzled.

Shen Changfeng continued: "Because I am there, I can see what it looks like when a father really loves his children."

"Niuniu is a daughter, and an adopted child, but the master still worries about her and even prepares for her daughter not to marry, just because he is afraid that his daughter will be bullied in the future."

"Gu Zhao doesn't like to study, he only likes to play with insects, but the master has never stopped him from doing such a thing, but has seriously thought of a way out for him. Gu Zhao now worships Old Yan as his master, and his little progress is seen and remembered by the master."

"Mother, ask yourself, does my father really have me and my sister in his heart?"
