Chapter 2101 Teaching the Son Face to Face
After being stopped by the Ninth Prince, Niguzhu forgot to cry.
By the time the children headed to the main courtyard, she had already begun to reason with Akdan.
"I listen to my elder and second brothers every day, so it's time for me to listen to you. It should be my turn..."
"What's wrong with listening to me for once? I think it's beautiful, and the two sisters think it's beautiful too, right?"
Having said that, she also looked at the two foreign players.
Tana thought for a moment and said, "They all look good."
Hailan smiled and said, "Listen to my sister."
Akdan looked at Niguzhu's swollen eyelids, nodded, and said, "I'll listen to you tomorrow."
Niguzhu immediately burst into laughter and said, "It will be good after a few tries. I will show it to Mama then."
Feng Sheng said beside him, "Sister, is this a rose garden?"
"Well, well... Mama didn't go out to play, so I wanted to build a flower garden for her to see..." said Niguzhu.
Tana listened, thoughtfully.
Hai Lan couldn't think of anything else, and slowly echoed: "The roses...are beautiful..."
It was too hot, with the windows open.
Before the children entered the house, several sisters-in-law in the main room heard some chattering outside.
Shushu smiled and said, "The little ancestors are back, luckily we have set up an inner school..."
The Seventh Lady smiled and nodded, "But I can let go now."
The Tenth Lady was also still frightened and said, "This child really cannot be taught by myself. Not only will I be bullied if I teach him myself, but he still refuses to listen. My master has taken out the whip, but I can't bear to beat him now because he is so young. I don't know if I will really beat him when he grows up and gets naughty."
"Hahaha……"
The Seventh Lady was overjoyed. She had also heard of Hong Xuan's stubbornness, so she said, "The child is just disobedient for a while. He will understand the truth when he grows up."
Even though Hailan is so well-behaved, she also had her moments of stubbornness in the past two years.
It's because of his slow reaction that he keeps sulking when things are his own fault, which makes people feel even more distressed.
If Hai Lan could ever learn to lose her temper with her parents, then the Seventh Lady would have to thank God.
"Seventh Aunt, Tenth Aunt..."
"Aunt Nine..."
When the maid lifted the curtain, the children came in one after another.
The children began to call for help.
Seeing Hailan and Tana holding hands, the Seventh Lady smiled, realizing that they were not just following Niguzhu.
The little sisters who are close in age spend most of the day together, and thus develop a close relationship.
The Tenth Lady saw Niguzhu's swollen eyes and hurried over to ask, "Why are you still crying? Did the master say something, or what?"
Niguzhu stood next to the Tenth Lady, looked at Akdan, and wanted to complain again.
Shushu glanced at her.
Children should not be spoiled.
Now Niguzhu sleeps in the North Garden every night. There are no other children there, and everyone revolves around her. She starts to act a little overbearing.
Niguzhu saw Shushu's expression, and felt guilty. He took the Tenth Lady's hand and said, "She didn't cry, and the master didn't say anything..."
This is obviously not true.
The Tenth Lady looked at Shushu, and seeing that she had no intention of asking questions, she didn't say anything more.
"Aunt, eat steamed cherries..."
Hongxuan touched his belly and said to Shushu.
Shushu smiled and nodded, saying, "I've asked someone to steam it."
Children have weak stomachs, so only ask them to eat a little bit of fresh fruit, and steam the rest.
Niguzhu cried for a while, and he was exhausted. He felt hungry, so he asked Shushu, "Ernie, what do you have for steamed buns?"
Shushu said, "I asked someone to prepare vegetarian assorted steamed buns, tofu skin buns, and osmanthus rice cakes."
Niguzhu listened and said disappointedly, "They are all vegetarian, there is no meat. I want to eat mutton steamed buns and mutton steamed dumplings, and they both need a bag of meat."
Shushu looked at her and said, "What did I say before?"
Niguzhu: “…”
Her little face turned red and her eyes looked a little wandering.
Shushu didn't look at her and told Hazelnut, "You don't have to send Da Gege to class starting tomorrow."
Hazelnut glanced at Niguzhu and responded.
Niguzhu was a little anxious: "Is Enie going to take everyone out to play again? Why not take me?"
Shu Shu looked at her seriously and said, "Do you remember the rules I told you about?"
Niguzhu nodded and said, "Remember, you must respect your teacher, listen to your brothers, get along well with your sisters, and take care of your younger brother..."
As he spoke, his voice became quieter and quieter.
Shushu didn't look at her, he always wanted her to remember this lesson.
Otherwise, your temper will become distorted.
I've warned her twice, but she still doesn't listen. There won't be a third time.
It was the first time for the Seventh and Tenth Concubines to see Shushu having an attack of childbirth. They looked at each other and knew what to do, so they didn't interrupt.
Seeing the heavy atmosphere, the other children also behaved themselves.
Shu Shu didn't want to be a spoiler, so he looked at Bai Guo and said, "Ask the kitchen to set up the meal, and put the children's table in the second room."
Baiguo responded and went down.
Shushu looked at Fengsheng and said, "Take everyone to the west room to wash their hands."
Fengsheng responded and asked everyone to go out.
Niguzhu didn't want to leave and looked at Shushu pitifully.
Shushu looked at her without a smile on her face.
Niguzhu's eyes turned red again and he regretted not staying in the front yard to eat, but he didn't dare to run away.
Tana was the oldest and knew that her sister should be obedient at this time, so she stepped forward, pulled her hand, and said, "Sister, go eat first."
"Sister, let's go..."
Hongxuan was hungry, so he turned around and urged him to eat.
Niguzhu was dragged away.
Shushu's tense face relaxed.
The Seventh Lady joked, "She is really a 'strict mother'. She is scary."
Shu Shu let out a sigh and said, "There's nothing I can do. My grandfather spoils his children. It's impossible to expect him to be a good guy. I can only bite the bullet and do it."
The Seventh Lady said, "With so many children, it's inevitable that they will be happy today and upset tomorrow. They are just minor fights, so just give them a few words of scolding."
The Tenth Lady also advised: "Yes, Niguzhu is old and usually well-behaved and sensible, so it's nothing if he occasionally has a little temper."
Shu Shu said, "This rule should be established from a young age. Children are the best at reading people's faces. If the rules are relaxed once or twice, then it will be a lie to follow them."
The Seventh and Tenth Concubines did not try to persuade her.
The Seventh Lady said, "I hope Hailan can act like this a few times. Otherwise, I will always feel uneasy and afraid that the child will be upset."
The Tenth Lady touched her belly and said hesitantly, "Before Hongxuan started attending class, my heart and eyes were full of Hongxuan. Now that I have a little one, I always wonder if this one is a prince or a princess, and I think less about Hongxuan."
The Seventh Lady looked at the Tenth Lady's belly and said, "Since you know what's going on, you can't be biased..."
At this point, she looked at Shushu and said, "I admire you for being impartial to the three children, and not only caring about the younger ones and ignoring the older ones."
Shu Shu stroked his forehead and said, "We are all living ancestors, how dare I be biased? Especially after the little one was born, I told the older ones over and over again that I love the three of them the most. They came first, and my little brother can't compare to them..."
The Seventh Lady couldn't help but smile.
Then, she thought of the words "first come, first served", and she felt a little more bitter.
Yes, this kind of affection also has a first come first served principle...

Qingxi Bookstore.
Kangxi was talking to the Fourth Prince about the relief efforts in Shandong.
This time we have to withdraw silver from the Ministry of Revenue and also intercept the grain tax.
The Fourth Prince said, "The candidates for relief were all recommended by the ministry and are known for their integrity."
Kangxi nodded and said, "That's perfect. Relief is a big deal. Shandong is next to Zhili, and local stability is important. If anyone dares to take advantage of the relief money, I will not tolerate it."
The Fourth Prince listened with his hands down, but he was worried about this matter.
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue did not dare to intervene, but what about the officials in Shandong?
Shandong Governor Wang Guochang was not innocent. As early as the 35th year when he was conquering Junggar, he made mistakes as a grain transport officer. He was only atonemented by making meritorious contributions in the 36th year.
He was a high-ranking official promoted by the emperor, and it was not the prince's turn to question him.
After Kangxi finished asking about the official business of the Ministry of Revenue, he asked the Fourth Prince to sit down and said, "I heard that you brought all the children in the mansion here. Is there enough space for you, Prince?"
The fourth prince nodded and said, "It has three courtyards and a lot of houses, so it's spacious enough to live in."
Kangxi said: "I have sent your memorial to the Ministry of Rites."
This is about the memorial in which the Fourth Prince asked for the names of the two princes to be circled.
The Fourth Prince said, "We have already passed the vaccination stage, and are now at the age of enlightenment. I have been looking forward to Khan Ama giving us a circle of names, so we can finally take our place."
Kangxi pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that they were also born in the thirty-ninth year, so they are four years old now. Shouldn't we prepare a tutor for them?"
The Fourth Prince said, "I was just asking around. There is a member of the Eight Banners who is a member of the Zuoling under my son's name. He failed the imperial examination three times and later became a clerk in the Ministry. He was in mourning for several years and has not been replaced."
Kangxi listened and shook his head, saying, "How can a failed candidate with limited knowledge and talent teach the emperor's grandson? It's inappropriate..."
The Fourth Prince thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed some well-educated and talented people in Beijing, but they are all staying in Beijing to prepare for the exams. I'm afraid they are not willing to teach my child."
Kangxi glanced at the Fourth Prince and said, "I heard that the Third Prince is paying attention to the left and right wing sects?"
The fourth prince nodded and said, "Indeed, it should be for Hong Sheng's future schooling. However, the clan school requires one to be ten years old to enroll. The third brother is also asking for a tutor."
Kangxi looked at the Fourth Prince and said, "I have granted the Third Prince a favor and will allow Hong Sheng to study in the inner study next year."
The Fourth Prince was stunned when he heard this, and then a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and waited for the Fourth Prince's reaction.
The Fourth Prince hesitated for a moment and said, "Khan Ama, your son would also like to ask for a favor. The inner study is full of scholars from the Hanlin Academy teaching, which is incomparable to the outside world."
Kangxi asked, "Ask for mercy for your third prince? You want to send your second son to the palace to study?"
The Fourth Prince nodded and said, "Yes, my son has studied in the inner study for ten years. He knows that the civil and military teachers there cannot be compared with those outside. Even if the child is mediocre, he will not be a waste after graduating from the study within ten years. He can pass the three examinations with above-average scores, if not perfect scores."
Kangxi snorted, "Don't you still have a beloved princess? You sent both legitimate sons to the palace, leaving behind a bastard son. Aren't you afraid that he will be resentful?"
The Fourth Prince did not deny it, but instead looked a little ashamed. After a while, he said, "My son wants to ask for the title of concubine for Li..."
