Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince "took a detour" and asked someone else to come forward, many people did not know that they had a relationship with Lady Enfu, which gave them time to understand and react.
As a result, Tang Shirong was fine, but Huo Qiyang became famous on the first day he went to the Imperial College.
The reason was that someone came to talk to him, probably taking advantage of his young age, teasing him on purpose, and persuading him that no matter how talented Xu Siyuan was, he was only Siyuan, and now that he had come to Chang'an City, he should choose another wise master...
Huo Qiyang didn't respond at first, but later he got tired of listening and asked, "Is your father a third or fourth grader? If he doesn't even have a third grader, do you want to choose another father?"
Little Ayang is so awesome!
"Choose another wise father", a sentence that became famous.
And many people think that what he said is right. Once a teacher, always a father. Although this statement is impolite, it is not wrong at all.
Tang Shiyue almost laughed to death.
But by the next day, she couldn't laugh anymore.
She never expected that classes at the academy would start at six o'clock every morning!
...
...
She lived in a hot spring villa, which was said to have a good location, but it was far from the city, which meant they had to get up at around three in the morning because it would take an hour to get on the road!
It hasn’t snowed yet. When it snows, the speed will be even slower.
Tang Shiyue turned around and asked Ding Xiaoyan: "Is the Lady's Mansion that Aye mentioned far from the Imperial College?"
"Not far," Ding Xiaoyan said, "It will only take about 25 minutes to walk. A carriage will be faster."
Tang Shiyue immediately made the decision: "Move! Move now!"
She said it would be soon, and now there are a lot of people coming in and out, including Lynx and Gungun, so she has to send someone to deal with them first.
Zhuangzi's side also needs to be taken care of.
If you don't look at the things she has here, you won't know that most of them are gifts from the emperor, so you have to move them all carefully. You don't have to move them all away, after all, you still have to come back to live here sometimes.
Tang Shiyue was about to go to bed after a busy day, but Ding Xiaoyan reported that Princess Yongkang's mansion had sent someone to deliver something.
Tang Shiyue felt a little strange.
The next day, she prepared the essential oils she promised and had them delivered. She also sent a few extra bottles of hydrosol. This matter should be settled.
So what did the Princess's Mansion send?
Someone was asked to bring it in, but it turned out to be a box. When it was opened, there was a golden lotus, the size of a baby's fist, which looked like a pendant.
Tang Shiyue was at a loss, and searched but couldn't find any letters.
She was helpless about the ancients' obscure way of communication and turned to look at Linlang.
Linlang finally understood and said "oh".
She said to her, "Master, these past two days... there have been some unpleasant things said outside." She was a little angry, "Some little ladies with bad mouths gave you nicknames."
Tang Shiyue waved her hand: "It's okay, go ahead."
Linlang whispered, "They call the master daughter Deng Tong, and also call her... 'Big Foot Tang'." When she said this, her eyes turned red with anger.
Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows.
Deng Tong was a wealthy man in the Han Dynasty. Calling her female Deng Tong was actually a mockery of her for doing business as a woman, and the idea was that merchants were not decent enough.
But to laugh at her feet behind her back was extremely mean.
You have to know that in that era, feet were only visible to the husband. Mocking her natural feet was an extremely serious insult to a young lady. If someone had a bad temper, he would have hanged himself.
Tang Shiyue didn't care much and just asked her, "Did you find out who said that?"
"Xiaoyan just mentioned today that it was a person named Zhou Li Niang," Wei Xin said, "She is said to be the granddaughter of Duke Cheng. She looks ordinary, but her feet are bound very small. She has always been proud of this."
Tang Shiyue nodded: "Got it."
She pointed at the three people back and forth, and the three people pleaded guilty quickly: "Master, please forgive me. Next time, I will tell you as soon as I hear it."
They also realized that Tang Shiyue was indeed not comparable to ordinary young ladies, so she didn't take it seriously at all.
The custom of foot binding began in the previous dynasty and was also popular in Dayan.
But it was only limited to the daughters of the upper class. After all, families that needed girls as labor would not ask their girls to bind their feet.
Including the Imperial Noble Consort, who came from a royal merchant family and also had a pair of natural feet.
What is feudal dregs? This is feudal dregs!
Tang Shiyue asked: "The eldest princess sent this to remind me, should I give her something to express my gratitude?"
Linlang said, "Just give some small gifts. The princess is trying to make friends. If the master is interested, the smaller the gift, the closer it will seem."
Tang Shiyue felt that Princess Yongkang was a smart person and it was worth making friends with her, so she sent someone to send her a set of cashmere sweaters.
It just so happened that this was the case.
The next day, Tang Shiyue went to the Lady County's Mansion to take a look at the general situation, and came out to find a place to eat with Wei Xin and the others. Before they arrived, they heard a few people talking at the door of an embroidery workshop:
"I thought I was cool, but I didn't know that I was just a joke in the eyes of others..."
"A girl shows up in public, drinks tea with those old men...
A shrill voice laughed, "She looks OK, but her big feet are so funny that they're going to kill me..."
Tang Shiyue slowed down her pace and walked over slowly. She heard a familiar voice, which sounded like Qin Shiyi Niang's, saying angrily, "You guys keep talking so much. Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue rotten?"
"Hey, what does this have to do with you?"
Qin Shiyi Niang said, "I can't stand you talking about others' shortcomings behind their backs!"
"Tsk!" the shrill voice said, "Did I say something wrong? No matter how stunningly beautiful she is, one look at those big feet will turn you off..."
Tang Shiyue sneered and asked directly: "Are you talking about me?"
The girls turned around and were all speechless.
These young ladies in the capital have been taught since childhood how to measure family background and status.
Lady Enfu County was in the limelight and extremely favored by the Emperor, so those who felt they could not afford to offend her naturally quickly backed off.
But there were also some who thought they had a good family background and were not afraid, saying, "Hey, isn't this the Lady of Enfu County?"
Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows.
Wei Xin beside him said calmly, "Whose family are you from? Why are you not polite to the county lady?"
The young lady's face changed slightly, and she hesitated for a moment before bowing.
Everyone around greeted them. Tang Shiyue smiled and helped Qin Shiyi Niang up, saying, "Shiyi Niang, there's no need to be polite." He then waved to everyone, "No need to be polite, everyone."
In this kind of situation, it is better to capture the leader first, there is no need to deal with all of them.
Tang Shiyue smiled and looked at the shrill voice: "May I know your name and where you are from?"
The shrill voice said proudly: "I am Miss Sun from the Chengguo Mansion! My surname is Zhou!"
Very good, I found the real culprit.
I don’t care whether you are Duke Cheng or Queen Mother Cheng. The one who flirts first is the loser. Sorry, I’m going to fight back.
Tang Shiyue said: "It turns out to be Miss Zhou. I heard that you have been laughing at my natural feet behind my back recently. Is that true?"
Zhou Li'niang choked.
Where had she seen such a straightforward style? After all, she was just a young lady of fifteen or sixteen. She was very happy to talk about people behind their backs, but when asked to her face, she was somewhat afraid to admit it.
Tang Shiyue continued, "From high-ranking officials to common people, many have natural feet. Even in the harem, there are some. You are so wantonly mocking these people. Where do you put them?"
Zhou Li Niang snorted and cleverly retorted: "I didn't say that about other people! Others are not as undisciplined as you!" The more she spoke, the more she felt that she was right: "Besides, I didn't lie! You have big feet anyway!"
