Chapter 138 Making New Clothes for the New Year
Baima Academy and Yingtian Academy were part of this hunting trip.
Due to poor supervision, the teachers involved were fined half a year's salary and demoted one rank.
This was the result Pei Yanli obtained after pursuing the matter with the academy as the child's father.
As for home...
He has no right to speak at all!
The two children have poor writing skills and do not recognize many words.
The teacher punished them by making them copy the school precepts. Since they didn't finish copying them on the mountain, he asked them to take them home and continue copying.
It's winter vacation already.
However, they wrote more words than when they were in the academy.
The school ring was so long, and the words written by the two kids with brushes were so big that they took up a lot of space, so only a few words could be written on a piece of paper.
"Godmother, are you here as expected?"
The next day after Lin Yanzhi returned from Huguo Temple, he and Shen Huaichang came to Cheng Shuyi to apologize.
I came here today to go out and play with my two younger brothers and sisters.
"They're here." Cheng Shuyi pointed to the two children's room, "They're copying the school ring."
Lin Yanzhi looked towards the east wing.
Inside the window, the two kids were also looking up at him.
He looked so helpless, with his eyes wide open.
When Lin Yanzhi heard his two younger brothers and sisters copying as punishment, he knew that it was not the right time to ask them to go out and play.
But he still wanted to give it a try.
"Godmother, the opera troupe on West Street is starting today. We have bought tickets and are going to watch it together."
Lin Yanzhi looked at Cheng Shuyi sincerely and pointed at the other friends waiting outside the gate.
She continued, "Can you let Ruqi Ruxu go with you? We have already made an appointment."
Cheng Shuyi looked out the door.
A group of children, familiar and unfamiliar to her, were looking into the yard.
Everyone is waiting for the two kids to come out and watch the show together.
Seeing this, Cheng Shuyi felt it was not appropriate to force the child to stay and copy.
Friends are very important to children in their childhood.
Cheng Shuyi let the two cubs out to play.
When the two cubs got permission, they jumped three feet high with joy and almost ran out of the room.
The other children waiting at the door were also very happy to see them come out.
A group of children, big and small, ran, laughed, and shouted, not afraid of the cold, and headed towards West Street.
Cheng Shuyi stood behind and shouted: "Come back before dinner, don't play on the street for too long——"
The two kids have been punished to copy for the past two days.
I can go out today, and I will definitely be reluctant to go home early in the evening.
The two kids were so happy that they ran in the front, laughing loudly, and didn't hear Cheng Shuyi's call at all.
It was Lin Yanzhi who heard it and promised her that he would bring his younger brother and sister back before dinner.
When Pei Yanli rode his horse into Pingxi Lane, he happened to meet two children who were out playing.
He dismounted, led the horse aside and walked along the wall.
I was afraid that the horse would get startled and scare the children.
Pei Yanli greeted the two children and wanted to ask them where they were going, but Xu Xu ran over first and hugged his legs.
She looked up at him and said coquettishly, "Dad, give me two cents. My brother and I want to eat candied haws."
Cheng Shuyi didn't buy them snacks, so they used their pocket money to buy theater tickets and spent it all at the beginning of the month.
If you want to eat candied haws, you can only ask your dad for money.
Pei Yanli pinched his daughter's nose and took out money from his sleeve with a helpless look on his face.
Only two cents.
He also warned: "You can't tell your mother that Dad gave you money, understand?"
He was afraid when Cheng Shuyi got angry.
"Thank you, Dad. Goodbye!"
When the little girl got the money, she immediately let go of Pei Yanli and ran to give a penny to her brother.
Pei Yanli glanced at the two children running away, and his heart was filled with happiness.
Back home.
He was called by Cheng Shuyi into the two children's room.
"Pei Yanli, take a look at the handwriting of your two children!"
Cheng Shuyi showed Pei Yanli the school rules copied by the two kids. The handwriting of the two kids was so ugly!
Pei Yanli took the two children's handwriting and looked at it.
Thinking about how his child had been punished these past two days, he couldn't bear it.
"The child is still young. He will get better naturally when he grows up."
"Whether your handwriting is beautiful or not doesn't improve naturally with age. There are many adults whose handwriting is ugly."
Cheng Shuyi said as he tidied the desks for the two children.
Glancing at the comments Pei Yanli had written on the children's homework books.
His handwriting is neat and smooth, with a strong and vigorous style, like iron painting and silver hooks, and the force can be seen through the back of the paper.
Extremely beautiful!
An idea flashed through Cheng Shuyi's mind, "Your Highness, how about you copy an article for me and I'll make it into a calligraphy copybook for the child to practice calligraphy on?"
"My handwriting?"
Pei Yanli thought about it and felt that if the child could learn his handwriting, it would also be a kind of emotional connection between the child and his father.
He nodded in agreement, "Alright."
Practicing calligraphy is a long-term project.
The most important thing at the moment is to redecorate the two children’s rooms.
A few days ago, when I went to Yun City, Cheng Shuyi bought the finished products directly at the furniture store.
Have someone deliver the goods directly to Uncle Dong’s warehouse.
When she returned to Shengjing, she brought all the goods back.
Since he decided to give each of his two children a room, Cheng Shuyi thought he might as well complete the renovation all at once.
Create a boy's room and a girl's room that are unique to each of your two children.
So when she and Pei Yanli looked at furniture, they bought matching furniture.
All the original things in the room, except the floor, were moved out and discarded.
Cheng Shuyi replaced her son's bed with a big one and also equipped it with a desk, bookshelf, toy rack, wardrobe, etc.
A large carpet was laid next to his bed.
When other children come to play at home, they can play and roll around on the carpet to their heart's content.
The furniture is mainly white and blue, and the curtains are also blue.
Paired with the antique room, it gives a sense of combining log style with modern style, which is not abrupt.
Surprisingly, it's very beautiful.
Xu Xu's room is mainly pink, with a lace princess style.
Cheng Shuyi spent several days, with workers going in and out of the Cheng house, moving the old furniture away and helping to install the new furniture piled in the main hall.
Finally finished the rooms for the two kids.
"The weather is getting colder, and New Year's Day is just a few days away."
It was the end of December, and Pei Yanli was cutting bamboo in front of the kitchen stove to make wooden horse shoes for his two children.
The moat began to freeze.
I estimate that in about ten days, we will be able to leave.
"New Year..."
Cheng Shuyi also sat in front of the stove, warming himself by the fire while preparing to cook.
"Is Shengjing City's New Year also celebrated during the twelfth lunar month?"
"Yeah." Pei Yanli chatted with her casually, "The palace banquet will be held in the twelfth lunar month."
"Oh...it's still early."
Cheng Shuyi said, "Tomorrow I'm taking my two children to the cloth shop to find an embroiderer to make new clothes. Do you want to make one?"
Although he already had too many clothes to wear.
But this time is different from before.
In the past, the mansion was managed by Zhao. For the sake of status, she asked the embroiderers to make more than two new clothes for the masters of each courtyard every month.
As the regent, he has at least seven or eight pregnancies a month.
So his clothes never had any special meaning.
This time, the family made new clothes together to welcome the New Year.
Of course he has to go too!
While Pei Yanli could make new clothes whenever he wanted, the Pei family farm could not even afford to buy new fabric.
Zhao gave Madam Xiang such an expensive South Sea gold and pearl headpiece.
Look, the New Year is coming.
The contacts between various families and mansions became more frequent, and Zhao received many invitations.
This is a good opportunity for her to put pressure on Pei Yanli and regain the position of mistress of the Regent's Palace!
