Chapter 208 Hiding Things
When these words came out, Chen Fushan was stunned.
He and the eldest princess have been married for many years, but the eldest princess has never said such harsh words to him.
Although the eldest princess loved her children, she never stopped Chen Fushan from teaching them. No matter how strict she was, she would just watch from the side unless she was about to take action.
"When I told you it was a poem about plum blossoms, you believed it was about plum blossoms. This shows that you really have never read the poem. If you haven't read it, how do you know that it is not well written?" asked the eldest princess.
Chen Fushan said: "With his lack of ambition, how can he write any good poems? Even if there are any good poems, they may not be written by him."
When Brother Shen heard this, he suddenly raised his head, wiped the tears from his face, and said: "A father can scold his son for not living up to his expectations, but the son has never done anything to claim other people's works!"
After saying that, Brother Shen rushed back to his courtyard angrily.
Chen Fushan didn't expect his son to react so strongly.
The princess said with a cold face: "Prince consort, you are indeed wrong this time."
The eldest princess also had similar doubts after learning that her son could write poetry, but after she asked her son carefully, her doubts disappeared.
It turns out that my son was not stupid, but he met a famous teacher who helped him to open his mind.
Chen Fushan was also unhappy and said, "What if he said he wrote it himself? Don't I know what kind of person he is? Even if he really wrote it himself, he is angry with me now, do I have to apologize to him?"
The princess looked at him steadily and asked, "Why not?"
Chenfushan suddenly choked.
"I am his father. It is not reasonable for a father to apologize to his son." Chen Fushan said.
The eldest princess said, "How can you teach your children if you know you are wrong but don't correct it?"
Chen Fushan was embarrassed by this, and he threw his sleeves on the spot and said, "There is no overnight hatred between father and son. He will figure it out himself."
The eldest princess looked at her husband's back as he left, her eyes flickering.
Shen Ling felt sorry for her brother, leaned against her mother, and asked, "Mom? Are you going to let my brother suffer in vain?"
The eldest princess reached out and touched her daughter's hair, smiling and saying, "Don't worry, your father will figure it out sooner or later."
After saying this, she called her confidants over and cut off the money from Chenfu Mountain.
The Gu family had not originally planned to invite the eldest princess to have dinner. After all, according to common sense, a visit from a distinguished guest was already a great honor, so there was no need to ask her to stay for dinner.
But after being made such a fuss by Brother Shen, the Gu family had to prepare a decent meal to entertain the distinguished guests.
The Sun family directly borrowed two cooks and sent a lot of precious ingredients.
If it was an ordinary noble, it would be enough to deal with it, but Brother Shen had already boasted, and the expectations were already high.
Late in the evening, the family discussed this matter after returning from Zuixianlou.
Zhang Yunniang thought of Shuying first. She and Niuniu went to ask her, and Shuying did have a lot of new and unique dishes in her mind.
It’s just that Shuying’s crazy personality is really uncontrollable.
Niuniu said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll tell her to be obedient and not make trouble."
Zhang Yuniang forced a smile, still feeling unsure.
Gu Mingda said, "It's a big table, and not every dish can be new. Just cook a few. If that doesn't work, ask Shuying how to cook and let someone else cook."
Zhang Yunniang shook her head and said, "Shuying refused to teach, and the small kitchen in the backyard has not been built yet."
Although Niu Niu could coax her into teaching others, neither Zhang Yunniang nor Niu Niu had any plans to do so.
Niuniu tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "I'll ask Shuying if she has any ideas."
Zhang Yunniang originally thought that it was impossible to count on a crazy girl for advice, but unexpectedly Shuying actually came up with an idea.
She asked the others to prepare the ingredients and leave the kitchen, leaving her half an hour.
The Gu family temporarily changed the arrangement, leaving some dishes to the two chefs from the Sun family, and the new dishes at the end to Shuying.
The whole family slept soundly at night.
At midday the next day, the eldest princess' carriage appeared at the end of the street.
The Gu family was waiting at the door early. After meeting each other, they exchanged greetings and led people into the house.
The house where the Gu family lived was provided by Shopkeeper Luo. It was a three-courtyard house and was originally a temporary resting place. Naturally, there was nothing extraordinary inside. In the eyes of the eldest princess and the other two who were born into wealth, it was simply shabby.
But today, they didn't come to visit the house.
Although the eldest princess is the emperor's biological sister, she is very humble in front of the Gu family who saved her son.
"This child is confused. He believes whatever others say. Just because of two words from the old Taoist priest, he actually returned to Beijing alone. If it weren't for your kindness, this silly child wouldn't be where he is now." The eldest princess was filled with fear when she mentioned this.
Gu Mingda was good at socializing and said, "Your Highness, if we really want to talk about it, it's because you are kind-hearted. When the old Taoist wanted to see my daughter's face, you stepped forward to help me out, but you didn't expect that you would get trapped. It's really our fault."
For parents, the happiest thing is naturally to hear others praise their children.
Gu Mingda added: "During this journey, it was not us who took care of the young master, but we took care of each other. When the pirates attacked, the young master was extremely brave and protected my wife and children. This responsibility is far beyond the reach of ordinary people."
The eldest princess didn't know about this. She looked at her son with even more heartache.
Shen Ling looked at his brother with admiration.
Brother Shen couldn't help but straighten up, but still told the truth: "Uncle Gu, I'm not as good as you say. That day, you and Uncle Sun were fighting the pirates outside. That was called bravery. Even Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu protected me in front of me. I'm just better than Niu Niu."
After hearing this, the eldest princess looked at her son with satisfaction. Unbeknownst to her, her son had truly grown up.
In the kitchen, the two cooks of the Sun family had already prepared several dishes that needed to be slow-cooked over low heat and placed them on the stove. Then they cleaned up the kitchen and returned to the Sun family.
Logically speaking, they should stay for dinner, and it was strange for the Gu family to ask them to cook half of the meal. Anyone would be angry, but the two chefs all had smiles on their faces.
It's nothing else, the Gu family got a lot of extra reward money.
When it was Shuying's turn to cook, Niu Niu and Liu Xiaoru found an excuse to leave the guest room.
Although Shuying's mind was full of novel ideas, this was a crazy idea after all, and the Gu family was not completely relieved. If only Liu Xiaoru was watching, Shuying would definitely chase her away. But it would be different with Niuniu present.
But Niu Niu had just taken two steps when someone caught up with her.
Brother Shen pulled his sister Shen Ling and called Niuniu.
"My dear, did you hide something good? Is it delicious?" Brother Shen asked.
Niu Niu and Liu Xiaoru didn’t know how to answer for a moment. Should they tell him that there was a lunatic hiding?
