Chapter 142: Lazy
After lunch, Chen Wan was pruning branches to pass the time. The maid reported from outside the beaded curtain, "Miss, Nanny Wu will teach the Fourth Miss the palace rules this afternoon. You should also go and learn."
You are really impatient. It's still early for Chen Ti to get married. She has plenty of time to learn slowly. She just entered the Duke Dingguo's Mansion today, but you don't have time to learn. Are you afraid that you won't be able to finish teaching her before she gets married?
"knew."
Shen Wan finished trimming the branches and then got up.
However, she did not go to the South Courtyard. Not long after leaving Qingyi Garden, she sprained her ankle. Shanhu helped her limp back to the courtyard.
South Courtyard.
Nanny Wu was already prepared, just waiting for Shen Wan to arrive so that she could start teaching them the rules and etiquette.
Shen Yao was getting impatient waiting, so the maid quickly stepped forward and said, "The second young lady can't come..."
Shen Ti asked, "Why can't you come?"
The maid replied, "The second young lady accidentally sprained her ankle on the way here."
She doesn't sprain her ankle normally, but she sprained her ankle when she was asked to learn rules and etiquette. It's obvious that she is just pretending to be lazy.
But it wasn't easy for her to hide away.
Inside the house, Chen Wan was sitting on a small couch eating cakes. A little maid ran in and said, "Miss, the fourth and sixth ladies have brought a doctor to treat your sprained ankle..."
Shanhu suddenly became anxious and looked at Shen Wan and said, "The girl didn't really sprain her ankle. The doctor saw through it at once."
Shen Wan was calm and composed, "The doctor is not so stupid."
The Second Madam was frightened, so she had reason to ask the doctor to come into the house and take a look at her. Even if the Second Madam was not there, the Old Madam could still use the excuse of asking for a safe pulse. But she was the second daughter of the Duke of Dingguo and the future Crown Princess of Jingbei. She was just pretending to sprain her ankle, and the doctor was so stupid that he would expose her.
After a while, Chen Ti, Shen Yao and the others came in, followed by a doctor.
Shen Wan sat on the small couch without getting up, "Aren't you going to learn the rules and etiquette from Aunt Wu? Why are you here?"
Chen Ti said, "Second sister sprained her ankle, and we are worried. Anyway, it's still early for me to get married. It won't be too late to learn together after your ankle heals."
Chen Wan smiled faintly and said, "It's really unfair that I sprained my ankle."
Shen Ti was puzzled, "Why did Second Sister say that?"
Chen Wan said, "Madame Wu just arrived today, and she was already rushing to teach Fourth Sister the palace rules and etiquette this afternoon. I was afraid you'd be waiting anxiously, so I rushed her and ended up spraining my ankle. And now that I've sprained my ankle, Madame Wu won't teach you anymore. What's the point of doing this?"
"My sixth sister and I are just learning along the way. It wouldn't be a big deal if we didn't learn. But you guys make me feel like Nanny Wu came here specifically to teach me palace rules and etiquette, and that she puts me first."
Shen Ti's face froze, "Second sister is worried, it's not just for you, but also for third sister. If she takes a few days, she can also learn with us."
Shen Wan looked at the doctor, and Shen Ti said, "Doctor, please take a look at my second sister."
The doctor sat down and took Shen Wan's pulse, then checked his sprained foot. Shen Ti asked, "Is the sprain serious?"
The doctor subconsciously looked at Shen Wan, and Shen Wan smiled lightly, "I don't think it should be serious, I'm not that unlucky."
doctor,"……"
The doctor said, "There's no bone damage. Just apply some medicine and he'll recover in two or three days."
The doctor left a bottle of ointment and left with his medicine box.
Chen Ti and Shen Yao looked at each other in confusion.
They were certain that Shen Wan was faking her sprained ankle. Could it be that they had misunderstood?
Several people left with disappointment on their faces.
After they left, Shanhu poured tea for Shen Wan and said, "It will only take three days to heal your ankle. You still have to learn the palace rules..."
Chen Wan smiled. She pretended to sprain her ankle not because she was afraid of learning palace rules, but because she was waiting for Chen Wu.
The more she avoided, the stricter Nanny Wu became when she taught her.
The old lady wanted Madam Wu to teach her a lesson, and she wanted this lesson to fall on the heads of her own granddaughters, and none of them could escape.
Shen Wan pretended to have sprained her ankle so that she didn't have to go to pay her respects to the old lady. Three days later, her sprain had recovered and Shen Wu's fright had also healed.
That day, after greeting the old lady in the morning, Chen Wan, Shen Wu and the others went to the South Courtyard, Chen Ti's yard.
Several people were talking and laughing, but then Nanny Wu coughed and the laughter stopped immediately.
Nanny Wu is notoriously strict, and she was sent by the Queen, so no one dares to ignore her.
Tables and chairs were placed in the yard. I first listened to Nanny Wu explain the palace rules. My butt was sore from sitting so much that I started to learn.
Chen Yao felt that what Chen Wan said was right. They were just learning it by the way. Even if they didn't learn it, it would be fine. Why should they suffer this hardship? They only entered the palace a few times a year and were always mixed in with people. They didn't cause any trouble when they entered the palace for banquets before. As long as they were not stupid and did not break the palace rules, why did they have to learn it so clearly? It was great that the Dingguo Mansion had a Crown Princess of Jingbei and a Concubine of Cheng Wang. Could they have another one?
Chen Yao was full of opinions, but she didn't dare to say them out loud.
Although Nanny Wu generally taught the palace rules, she put Shen Ti first. After she demonstrated, the first person she checked was Shen Ti.
Shen Ti did not do well, so she was hit on the buttocks and hands with the ruler. The pain made Shen Ti's forehead tremble.
Although she knew that Nanny Wu was killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, she was too cruel. She knew that Queen Song looked down on her status, but how could a servant dare to look down on her like that?
He was so harsh on Shen Ti, the concubine of Prince Cheng, not to mention others. He would show no mercy when beating them.
After Chen Ti, it is Chen Wan.
Nanny Wu held the ruler in her hand and kept gathering strength, but unfortunately, Shen Wan didn't give her the chance to strike.
The standard of the action is so high that even if you try to find fault with it, you won't find any.
If he was to be beaten like this, Shen Ti would be beaten half to death.
Nanny Wu was very surprised, "Has the Second Miss learned the palace rules before?"
“No.”
Nanny Wu didn't believe it, "Second Miss, can you learn so well on your first try?"
Chen Wan smiled faintly, "I just took advantage of my good memory and copied it."
Nanny Wu had nothing to say.
Chen Wan has a good memory. This can be seen from the fact that he performed a stunning piece of music at a palace banquet not long ago even though he didn't practice the piano often.
After Shen Wan came Shen Wu. Shen Wu did not do as well as Shen Ti. Nanny Wu even beat Shen Ti, so she had to beat Shen Wu. Later, Shen Yin and Shen Yao were not spared.
I didn't hit the one I wanted to hit, but I hit the one I shouldn't have hit.
What's even more infuriating is that no matter what she is taught, Chen Wan can learn it in one go, while others can only learn it reluctantly after being taught two or three times. Nanny Wu's teaching is also very strict. Shen Wu has never been subjected to such strict discipline. The angrier she is, the worse she learns. With Chen Wan as a comparison, Nanny Wu despises them even more for being stupid. They are all girls from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so why is there such a big difference between them?
However, at the end of the morning class, Shen Wanshou received three strokes of the cane.
When she was learning the rules, someone pushed her from behind. She staggered forward and dropped the teacup on the table.
Aunt Wu was about to hit her with a stick, but Shen Wan said dissatisfiedly, "Someone pushed me!"
"Second sister, please stop accusing me!"
Chen Wu and the others all said that it was Chen Wan who bumped into the person, but Shan Hu was sent away, and even if the rest of the people saw it, they would not testify for her.
Nanny Wu insisted on hitting Shen Wan, "I didn't see anyone pushing you. If someone really pushed you, you couldn't avoid it, so you can only blame yourself for your bad luck."
Shen Wan had nothing to say.
Nanny Wu finally got the chance and hit him hard. After three hits with the stick, Shen Wan's palms were swollen.
After beating her, today's study ends here and we will continue tomorrow.
After leaving the South Courtyard, Shanhu said angrily, "They teamed up to hit you on the palm of your hand!"
Shen Wan said, "What Aunt Wu said is correct. I didn't avoid it, and no one helped me to testify. I can only blame myself for my bad luck."
Shanhu said, "Miss, have you been beaten so hard that you're confused? Aunt Wu beat you, and you still defend her."
Speak for Aunt Wu?
It's not like she was kicked in the head by a donkey.
It can't be avoided, and no one helps to testify, so you can only blame yourself for your bad luck, right?
She wanted to see if Nanny Wu would still say the same thing after being silenced.
