Ch 18: A Warning
It was the first time seeing such an unreasonable elder; this was a teaching environment, not home!
Learning should naturally be strict!
“……” Wanxia’s knowledge did not allow her to retort to Old Madam Nian.
Old Madam Nian continued, “If you ask me, a female teacher like you is completely useless! All you do is scold our Xing Ge’er every day. I’ve heard the family servants in the residence say it many times, and coming here today, it’s indeed the case!”
Wanxia bit her lip in anger, hesitating to speak, “……”
Soon, Wanxia calmed down.
After all, this was Little General Guo’s residence. Being from a military background, his birth mother would more or less have a barbaric nature, so her son naturally couldn’t learn literature.
This grandmother also couldn’t distinguish the usefulness of her grandson, insisting on him learning literature!
Wanxia suddenly understood, angrily picked up her books and left!
Old Madam Nian was first startled, then stopped Mama Cui from chasing after her, “Don’t go, it’s fine if we don’t have a female teacher like that.”
Mama Cui was helpless, hearing that this teacher had been invited back after the General made three or four requests.
What to do now?
Wanxia stormed out, passing by the Pear Garden and encountering Yuan Xueyue coming out from within. They bowed to each other.
Yuan Xueyue could tell from her expression that she had been spoken to by Old Madam Nian, and explained,
“Xing Ge’er’s temperament has always been like this, I appreciate Teacher Wan’s guidance these past two days.”
“Your Master is really something! He painstakingly invited me here, only to have Old Madam humiliate me like this!” Teacher Wan said angrily, thinking that the other party was an elderly senior, so she didn’t want to argue with her.
Yuan Xueyue smiled, “That’s how it is. Teacher Wan, after returning, what are your plans?”
Wanxia said, “What other plans could there be? Even if your Master comes again, I won’t see him! I was even thinking of teaching Xing Ge’er for your family, such a stipend is a waste of my precious time!”
Yuan Xueyue nodded, “Yes, thank you for this trip, Teacher Wan.”
Wanxia saw that Yuan Xueyue could withstand the scolding, and her heart couldn’t help but calm down, “I’m not talking about you, Madam, it’s just that your Old Madam is too… Forget it, I won’t come again in the future, farewell!”
“Teacher Wan, walk slowly.” Yuan Xueyue said, signaling Cuiping with her eyes to see her off.
After seeing Wanxia off, Yuan Xueyue couldn’t help but sigh, another matter ruined by Old Madam.
It was the same in her previous life. The only teacher that Guo Liangxian had managed to invite was chased away by Old Madam. Later, even after making three or four requests to invite other teachers, no one was willing to come.
Teacher Wan was one of the best in the industry, a female teacher whom many teachers admired.
Offending Teacher Wan was equivalent to offending the entire teaching community.
This time, Guo Liangxian was in trouble.
Yuan Xueyue turned away indifferently, going to count the items in the warehouse and arrange the use of next month’s regular stipend.
Guo Liangxian and Concubine Lin, who had been busy all day, didn’t get any help from others, so they simply returned to the residence.
The next day, they were about to go out again, but Concubine Lin felt some fetal movement, so she didn’t go along.
Guo Liangxian was just about to leave when he was greeted by an uninvited guest.
“Brother Xiaozhao!” Guo Liangxian exclaimed in surprise.
As soon as he saw Xiaozhao, he knew that Prince Xian had news!
Guo Liangxian was pleasantly surprised and led the person into the residence, serving him good tea.
Yuan Xueyue also heard the commotion and sent Cuiping to eavesdrop outside the door. Even Mama Cui from Old Madam’s side was listening.
Xiaozhao sat down, his face very complicated, looking at Guo Liangxian’s excited appearance, he couldn’t bear to shatter his beautiful fantasy so quickly.
“Brother Xiaozhao, does Prince Xian have any instructions?” Guo Liangxian asked excitedly.
Xiaozhao was Prince Xian’s trusted subordinate, diligently handling every trivial matter for the Prince, almost all of which passed through Xiaozhao’s hands.
โโโ
“……Why are you in such a hurry? First, tell me, what unsightly things have happened in your residence recently?” Xiaozhao said coldly.
Hearing this, Guo Liangxian fell silent.
He thought for a moment and said with a smile, “It’s not anything too unsightly, it’s fine, just family matters.”
Xiaozhao slammed his hand on the table with a bang!
The table immediately seemed about to collapse!
Guo Liangxian was ashamed, “Brother Xiaozhao, this is……!”
Xiaozhao said, “You still say it’s not unsightly! You have made it difficult for Prince Xian, who said so many good things for you, and was even reprimanded by His Majesty! How are you going to make up for it?”
Guo Liangxian was immediately shocked. Prince Xian was helping him so much? Why hadn’t he felt it?
Guo Liangxian said, “No, nothing major has happened in my residence!”
He was still thinking of denying it. Half a month had passed, shouldn’t the rumors have subsided a bit?
“You still say nothing happened? Such disgraceful things happened in your residence, almost favoring concubines over your wife! Do you think Prince Xian’s judgment would be so poor as to appreciate someone like you?” Xiaozhao said coldly.
“It’s not like that, Brother Xiaozhao! Please say good things for me in front of Prince Xian! It’s just that the Old Madam in the residence was bewitched, it’s not favoring concubines over my wife! How could this Subordinate General do such a rebellious thing!” Guo Liangxian immediately knelt down, on the verge of tears.
“It better not be! You straighten yourself out, don’t let people grab your tail and look down on you! Even if Prince Xian says good things for you again, His Majesty won’t give you a good official position!”
There is no mistake, one head, one hair, one content, one appearance, one is in 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!
“Even this residence might be taken back from you!”
Xiaozhao’s words lingered in Guo Liangxian’s heart for a long time.
Guo Liangxian was so agitated that he couldn’t react. What kind of sin had he committed!
How could Prince Xian dislike such small family matters?
Xiaozhao saw through Guo Liangxian’s thoughts and explained,
“It’s not that the Prince doesn’t value you anymore, he just sent me to warn you. You must be more alert in the future, be a good person, treat your wife in the residence well, don’t let our Prince dislike you!”
Guo Liangxian nodded woodenly, “This Subordinate General understands.”
“It’s good that you understand. It’s getting late, you stay here and don’t go out and embarrass yourself. As for wanting to set up any manor or do business, now is the height of your fame, wait for a while longer.”
After Xiaozhao finished speaking, he left with his hands behind his back.
Guo Liangxian immediately followed, seeing him off from the residence.
He stared blankly at the direction Xiaozhao left, hating it so much that his teeth itched!
Prince Xian hadn’t done anything, nothing had happened behind the scenes, yet he was making him suffer so much!
Was this favor going to end here?
Only the residence, and some previous rewards, was he at the end of his road?
Guo Liangxian gritted his teeth and entered the residence angrily.
After Xiaozhao left, he felt puzzled while sitting in the carriage!
Why did the Prince ask him to warn Guo Liangxian?
It clearly had no effect!
The other party was just such a mediocre talent who couldn’t distinguish between what was important and what wasn’t!
However, why did the Prince particularly emphasize that Guo Liangxian should treat his wife well?
Xiaozhao couldn’t figure it out.
Back at the Prince’s Residence, Xiaozhao recounted the incident.
Prince Xian was behind the curtain in the Waterside Pavilion, looking at the vast pond, throwing in some feed, instantly causing the koi to churn!
“It was well done, make sure he can’t set up the manor.”
Prince Xian said in a deep voice, his back view lonely.
Xiaozhao bowed and asked in confusion, “Why hinder him? He is already disliked by other officials, and even more so by the people.”
Prince Xian chuckled, “Let such a person stay cooped up.”
Guess who he is? ๏ผฯ๏ผ I’m shipping it
