Chapter 14 Corporal Punishment
Songjuin.

The old lady had just coaxed Gu Liao and Gu Feng, and when she raised her head and saw Liu's mother coming back, she craned her neck and looked behind her.

Not seeing Jiang Fuyue, the old lady couldn't help but frown, secretly thinking that Jiang's arrogance was really getting bigger and bigger. Now that Liu's mother went there in person, she couldn't even call her over!

As she thought this, she felt even more dissatisfied with Jiang Fuyue.

Mother Liu walked to the old lady's side, leaned over and said, "Old madam, the young lady from Duke Jin's Mansion is here. Madam is busy entertaining and can't get away."

Hearing this, the old lady looked solemn: "The young lady of Duke Jin's Mansion?"

Mother Liu nodded.

His family was a duke's palace, and hers was a marquis's palace, so they were squeezed out in terms of title. Naturally, they didn't dare to show any indifference when his young lady came over.

The old lady had to suppress the anger in her heart. When she turned her eyes and saw her two grandsons with red eyes, she had a headache again.

Gu Liao and Gu Feng stepped forward with tears in their eyes.

"Grandma, what my grandson just said is true! When the gentleman taught us lessons, he only read from the book without explaining at all. The grandsons didn't understand what those sentences meant. When we asked, he just said Calling my grandson stupid!”

"Yes, grandma. Moreover, that gentleman spoke very unpleasantly. He also said that my eldest brother and I were not worthy of being his students. He would feel embarrassed if he said it in the future..."

At this point, their eyes turned red again, obviously they had suffered a lot of grievances from Li Juren.

"Grandma, the homework assigned by my husband is also very heavy, and there are often punishments in class. My grandson has to write until late at night before he can go to bed! If his handwriting is even slightly inappropriate, my husband will have to slap it!"

Gu Liao said and stretched out his hand, and Gu Feng also stretched out his hand.

I saw that the tender palms of the two brothers were now red.

The old lady took one look, then closed her eyes and couldn't bear to look any more. Mother Liu beside her also gasped.

"This Li Juren is so unruly!" the old lady said angrily, "Mother Liu, go and call that Li Juren over. I have to talk to him properly!"

"Yes." Mother Liu didn't dare to delay and hurried out.

The old lady pulled the two brothers to her side and blew into their palms with distress.

"Grandma, my grandson doesn't like the current gentleman. Can grandma find a new gentleman for me and my second brother?" Gu Liao obediently leaned in the old lady's arms and said coquettishly.

The old lady touched Gu Liao's head lovingly and said, "How can that be done? Although the gentleman is a little strict, he is a serious candidate for civil service! Besides, it was not easy for my grandmother to invite him back for the apprenticeship banquet." It’s all been done, how can we just change it?”

When the apprenticeship banquet was mentioned, Gu Liao and Gu Feng curled their lips in unison, obviously dissatisfied.

The old lady added: "Besides, this Mr. Li is just your first teacher. You should study hard with him. After one year at most, grandma will send you to a government school. How about that?"

When he thought that such a life would continue for another year, Gu Feng immediately refused: "Grandma, my grandson doesn't want to study anymore. My grandson wants to practice martial arts! He will become a majestic general in the future!"

"Nonsense!" The old lady's face changed, and her tone suddenly became stern, "Then how dangerous is the battlefield? Then you, a little kid, can't just go where you want! You still have to study literature, be safe!"

The two children had never seen the old lady angry before, and they were shocked.

Gu Feng was so frightened that he took a step back.

Seeing this, the old lady quickly softened her tone and said: "If you two brothers become close ministers of the emperor in the future, wouldn't gold, silver, wealth and silk be inexhaustible? Even if you just say a word in front of His Majesty, you can use the so-called General, even if he tells them to die, they don't dare to resist. Isn't this more majestic?" Hearing this, Gu Feng's eyes lit up: "Is it true, grandma!"

"Of course it's true!" The old lady said with a smile, "So, you two brothers should learn from your husband!"

"Yes!" The two brothers nodded in unison, "Grandma, don't worry, my grandson knows!"

Seeing that the two brothers were well-behaved and sensible, the old lady was very pleased: "That's good! You go back and have a good rest first. Your husband will come later. Grandma will talk to him carefully and tell him not to be so strict in the future!"

"Yes!" The two brothers nodded, turned and left.

The two brothers disappeared, and the old lady slowly suppressed the smile on her face.

-

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Juren arrived belatedly.

Today, Li Juren wears a golden crown on his head, a brocade robe with exquisite materials and gorgeous and complicated patterns, and a delicate sachet and jade pendant hanging on his belt. He looks like a noble son of a noble family.

The old lady's eyes narrowed.

When Li Juren entered the mansion on his first day, he didn't have such a temperament and appearance.

In just a few days, my whole person seemed to have been completely transformed.

It is self-evident whose money was used.

Li Juren walked to the hall, lazily raised his hands and said, "I wonder why the old lady called me down?"

The old lady forced a smile and said: "It's not because of my two useless grandsons... Li Juren doesn't know that the mistress of my family is not living up to expectations! She has been married for three years, and there is no movement in her stomach. No, now my Gu family only has these two grandsons. They have never heard a harsh word since they were young, but when I saw it just now, the palms of these two children were red, as if they had been beaten. This matter..."

Li Juren seemed to have expected it: "It is really because of this. Madam, as a woman, it is normal that you have not experienced the hardships of studying when you were young, but you should also know that only by enduring hardships can you become a great person, right? ?”

"The two young masters are already dull, how can they enlighten themselves without fighting? What I am doing now is for the sake of the future of the two young masters."

The old lady suddenly turned red with embarrassment at being ridiculed by a junior for not having read a book at her old age.

"The two children will naturally understand Ju Ren's hard work," the old lady gritted her teeth, "I will ask these two children to be more attentive, and I also ask Ju Ren to be more patient in the future. Just say a few words. That’s all, corporal punishment is really inappropriate.”

After saying that, the old lady looked at Mother Liu again: "I will inevitably have to worry a lot about raising people in the future. You go to the warehouse to pick some gifts and send them to Moxiangju."

Hearing that there was a gift, Li Juren thought of the treasures in the entire warehouse of the Hou Mansion, and his face softened slightly: "I understand, and I will pay attention to it in the future. Please rest assured, Madam."

"That's good," the old lady nodded as if she was pleased, "Thank you for your hard work, Mother Liu, I'll send you back home."

"Yes."

After watching Li Juren leave, the old lady felt that the depression in her chest was finally relieved.

The old lady secretly made up her mind that dealing with Li Juren would have to be left to Jiang Fuyue in the future.

She couldn't bear this grievance a second time!
