At this time, Wen Mianmian raised her head and replied with a guilty conscience: "It's already been written."
"Then bring it here for me to see." The Fourth Master naturally saw the guilty expression on the little princess's face and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Wen Mianmian took small steps and walked to the desk. She glanced at the Fourth Master and saw that he was also looking at her.
Wen Mianmian took the big characters she had written today to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master took it, opened it, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
When Wen Mianmian saw the Fourth Master like this, she knew that he would definitely scold her again soon.
Alas, being a princess is actually quite difficult.
I have to think about not making the Fourth Master angry and serving him well, and now I am forced to practice calligraphy.
The Fourth Master knew what to say just by looking at the thick and thin fonts.
"You've written so much, but your handwriting hasn't improved at all. You need to practice more in the future."
"Master, I don't want to do that either, but this is how it looks like when I write it. How about I just write it with charcoal?"
"No, the charcoal pencil is too dirty. You still need to practice calligraphy. Master Gan Ming will teach you."
Seeing that her master said so, Wen Mianmian had no choice but to agree even though she was reluctant.
However, it seems nice to have the Fourth Master personally teach her how to write calligraphy.
Wen Mianmian asked someone to go to the kitchen to bring food because the Fourth Master would have dinner with her.
So she ordered a few more dishes, including Dongpo tofu, braised fish, eight-treasure duck, crispy pork tenderloin, two refreshing vegetables, and fish fillet tofu soup.
After dinner, the Fourth Master did not stay here overnight.
Although he also wanted to stay here, if he did so, she would be criticized tomorrow.
After seeing off the Fourth Master, Wen Mianmian went into the house to rest.
——
A few days later, Fu Jin suddenly called all the princesses and concubines in the mansion to the main courtyard.
Wen Mianmian had just finished lunch when someone from the front yard came to invite her.
Wen Mianmian quickly packed up and took Shannai and Shancha to the main courtyard.
"Princess, why did the Lady suddenly send someone to ask you to come over?" Shannai was a little puzzled. Didn't she say that there was no need to pay respects?
"I don't know, maybe there's something else going on."
They soon arrived at the main courtyard of Fu Jin's residence, where Song Gege, Guo and the other three had already arrived.
Wen Mianmian nodded to them as a greeting, and then sat down in her seat.
Not long after, Fu Jin came out with a big belly.
Mrs. Li didn't come because she had to take care of her pregnancy.
"I called you here today because I have something to tell you."
"The master has decided to stay at the manor for a while. You guys should pack your things in the next two days and go together."
She originally wanted to go there too. After all, there were mountains and water on the farm, and living there was much cooler than living in the mansion.
But she was already pregnant and didn't want to travel too much, so she gave up the idea.
When everyone heard this, they all smiled with joy.
This is a good opportunity to get close to the master, and they can also stay at the farm for a while. How can they not be happy?
Even Wen Mianmian was very happy to hear that she could leave the house. It would be great if she could take this opportunity to go for a stroll on the street.
Ever since she came here, she has been confined to this small world.
She also wants to go out and see the world.
Fu Jin gave them a few instructions and sent them back.
As the month progresses, she has been feeling anxious, short of breath, and very tired, and sometimes has a dull pain in her stomach.
But the imperial physician was called in to take the patient's pulse and he said there was nothing serious.
This made Fu Jin herself doubt whether she was too tired from copying scriptures these days.
After sending them away, Fu Jin was helped by Nanny Chang and Nanny Li back to her room to rest.
On the path back to Zizhuyuan, Shancha and Shannai were happily discussing their trip to the farm.
Seeing them chatting so happily, Wen Mianmian couldn't bear to interrupt and said, "Alright, let's talk about this back at Zizhuyuan, lest anyone hear us outside and blame us again."
"Yes, yes, we will stop talking and talk about it later." Shannai quickly covered her mouth and said in a low voice.
Shancha also shut her mouth. The master and servant smiled at each other and walked briskly back to Zizhu Courtyard.
When he was almost at the gate of Zizhuyuan, he happened to bump into the Fourth Master who had just come from the front yard, with Su Peisheng following behind him.
Wen Mianmian and his servant hurried forward to pay their respects. "Greetings to the master."
"Get up." The Fourth Master helped Wen Mianmian up.
"Going there, so happy."
When the Fourth Master saw her, he saw that she was smiling, as if something good had happened.
"I just came back from the main courtyard. Fu Jin said that the master wanted to stay at the farm for a while."
"So that's what it is." The Fourth Master took Wen Mianmian's hand and walked towards Zizhu Courtyard.
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. Zhuangzi is surrounded by mountains and water, making it a great place to escape the summer heat..."
The two of them talked as they walked and soon returned to Zizhuyuan.
The servants served tea to their master and then tactfully left.
"Master, where is the manor?" Wen Mianmian asked curiously.
"It's just outside the capital. It takes about an hour by carriage to get there."
"The scenery there is beautiful, Mianmian, you can enjoy it when the time comes." The Fourth Master held Wen Mianmian's little hand while speaking.
The little princess’ hands are so soft.
"Thank you, Master."
"Isn't my master busy today?"
You know, the Fourth Master was very busy a few days ago and came back very late, but now he has returned home so early.
"I'm not that busy today, so I have some free time to teach the little princess to practice calligraphy." The Fourth Master looked at her and said with a smile.
Wen Mianmian: “…”
Then Wen Mianmian was dragged by the Fourth Master to practice calligraphy.
The Fourth Master asked her to practice calligraphy according to the font on the copybook first.
She discovered that not only was the little princess's pen-holding posture incorrect, but even her writing was incomplete at the beginning and end, with sometimes she used too much force and sometimes she wrote too lightly.
"The way you hold the pen and the strength you use to write are wrong." The Fourth Master walked behind her, held her hand, and taught her stroke by stroke.
The Fourth Master taught very seriously. Wen Mianmian felt that at this time the Fourth Master was a good teacher who taught rigorously.
Wen Mianmian turned her head to glance at the Fourth Master. At this time, the Fourth Master looked serious and calm, and he carefully corrected the mistakes she made when writing.
An afternoon passed quietly as the Fourth Master taught Wen Mianmian calligraphy.
The Fourth Master stayed at Zizhuyuan again that night.
Wen Mianmian inadvertently suffered a wave of envy and jealousy from the women in the backyard.
But she was completely unaware of this.
A few days later, Wen Mianmian was arranged to ride in a carriage with Song Gege to the farm.
Because the Fourth Master was going to the palace, he did not go with them to the farm, but ordered them to go first.
The wife did not come out. After all, the master was not at home. She just told them to behave well in the main courtyard and not to do anything bad, and then let them leave.
