Chapter 331: Revenge
The longer the Queen Mother spent with Niu Niu, the more she missed her and wanted to keep the child by her side.
As the empress dowager's personal nanny, Nanny Sun has served her for more than 30 years. She understands better than anyone the loneliness of the empress dowager living in the deep palace for so long.
But she could also see that Niu Niu was taken very good care of by the Gu family.
"Empress Dowager, the Gu family are subjects, so if you tell them this, they naturally won't dare to refuse. But Niu Niu seems to have a very deep relationship with the Gu family. If she keeps living in the palace and has no way to go back, I wonder if the child will be sad." Nanny Sun said softly.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she gradually calmed down. She was in a high position and didn't care much about Gu's family. But when she thought about how Niu Niu would be sad and become estranged from her, she suddenly felt that it was not worth it.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm just saying this in vain. After two years, I'll ask the emperor to confer a title on this child. This will fulfill our relationship as grandparents and grandchildren." The empress dowager had already made up her mind. She would at least ask for the title of a princess for Niu Niu.
Niu Niu studied in Baisunyuan, far away from the main palace.
Baisunyuan, from the name we can see the royal family's expectations for offspring, but unfortunately by the emperor's generation, there was no prince, not even a princess, so this courtyard has been vacant for a long time.
The palace servants did not clean the place very carefully, and one could still see signs of oldness and desolation; the rubble on the ground had not been cleared away.
Niu Niu met Qin Jingshu at the gate of Baisunyuan.
"Niuniu!"
Qin Jingshu rushed over immediately and grabbed Niuniu's hand. The little palace maid behind her kept shouting, "Miss, slow down. Don't fall!"
Qin Jingshu pulled the small schoolbag hanging on her body and said, "I like the small schoolbag Niuniu gave me very much. Thank you Niuniu!"
Niuniu was very happy to see her friend liked it, and she showed her small schoolbag to her: "Mine has Mimi embroidered on it."
The topics of conversation between children are always strange. They can even talk for half a day about the patterns embroidered on a schoolbag.
"The civet cat on your schoolbag is as cute as you! It has a chubby face and round eyes!" Qin Jingshu couldn't help laughing when she said this.
Niu Niu also started giggling.
“Ahem.”
The two people who were standing at the gate of Baisunyuan and chatting suddenly heard a man coughing behind them. They turned around and saw a middle-aged man in his forties with a serious face.
The middle-aged man looked at the two girls with contempt, and then said, "Women should be chaste, quiet and docile, and should not laugh or play."
Qin Jingshu only felt that there was a very disgusting smell on the middle-aged man, but she also guessed the identity of the man who appeared here at this time. He should be their teacher.
She pulled Niuniu to the side to avoid the situation.
But Niuniu was not afraid of the man. She tilted her head and asked, "Can't girls laugh?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he said, "Did I agree with your question?"
Niuniu said: "Before asking any questions, I have to ask you first, do you agree to be asked questions by me?"
The middle-aged man nodded.
But Niuniu said, "But when I ask you whether you agree to be asked a question by me, I am also asking the question."
The middle-aged man's face turned even darker when he saw the nesting dolls for the first time.
"You are so sharp-tongued and have such a flattering manner!" the middle-aged man scolded.
When Qin Jingshu heard this, she was very worried about Niuniu and couldn't help but say, "Teacher, Niuniu is still young, she may not be thorough in her work..."
Her words of apology on behalf of Niu Niu were stuck in her throat because Niu Niu was looking at her with strange eyes.
"Why should I tell him all this? He was the one who didn't think things through, and he was also the one who got angry and embarrassed after someone found out his loophole." Niu Niu said.
The middle-aged man's beard was shaking with anger as he demanded, "What's your name? Whose child are you from? Students like you don't know how to respect teachers at all. You are so naughty that I can't teach you!"
Niu Niu asked, "How was I naughty? How did I not respect you? I was asking questions according to your instructions. I didn't pull your beard, hit you, scold you, or say anything disrespectful. Why did you say that to me?"
If Niu Niu wasn't a girl, the middle-aged man would have probably hit her.
He didn't want to talk to Niu Niu either. The little girl refuted every word he said. He couldn't argue with Niu Niu, so he could only turn around and ask the people behind Niu Niu: "Tell your daughter to take her away. I won't accept this student!"
Lady Luo only sent Niu Niu to the gate of Baisun Courtyard and left. She did not dare to stay there for long, for fear of meeting a strange man. Now Niu Niu was accompanied by Aunt Fangcao and the little palace maid Xiaoyan.
Aunt Fangcao said to the middle-aged man with a serious face, "Sir, you are here to teach in compliance with the king's order. If you don't want to, you can just report it to His Majesty."
People in the world tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. The middle-aged man originally thought that Niu Niu was young and easy to bully, but now that he had hit a snag with Aunt Fangcao, he immediately didn't dare to continue saying things like he wouldn't teach her anymore.
It was impossible for a middle-aged man to go to the emperor and ask to resign on the first day of class. He threw his sleeves indignantly and said, "This child is incorrigible!"
After saying this, the middle-aged man went straight into Baisun Courtyard. He swallowed his loss and ignored Niu Niu.
Niuniu tilted her head and asked, "Aunt Fangcao, the gentleman seemed particularly angry when I spoke like that just now. Did I do something wrong?"
Aunt Fangcao thought of how Niuniu had contradicted her just now, and sighed, saying, "The girl is indeed right, but your teacher probably bears a grudge. You should be more careful when you study in school."
Niuniu said, "The teacher is here to teach and answer questions. If he is wrong, we, as his disciples, should also have the responsibility to correct him. This is what my father taught me."
Aunt Fangcao understands that this principle is not wrong, but how many people in this world are willing to admit their mistakes and give up their authority?
"Girl, not everyone in this world is as open-minded as Gu Zhuangyuan. Class is about to start. Please go in quickly. We will be waiting for you outside." Aunt Fangcao said gently.
Niu Niu pulled Qin Jingshu into the inner courtyard and went to the room where the class was held. There were exactly six tables set up in the room.
The two tables in front were empty, reserved for Niu Niu and Qin Jingshu.
When everyone was seated, the middle-aged man on the podium said, "My last name is Wu, you can just call me Mr. Wu."
"Hello, Mr. Wu!" six little girls spoke together.
Mr. Wu nodded, then picked up a booklet and said, "I'll call out the names of people just to recognize them."
This booklet is arranged according to the status of the relatives in their family, and Niu Niu's name is the last one.
After the roll call, Mr. Wu couldn't wait to say, "You two, Qin Jingshu and Gu Xi, are late for class. Stand at the back for half an hour."
