After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

"Madam, Prince, the princess is here."

The old lady watched Xiao Yunxi slowly walk in. She no longer had any intention of blaming her and looked at her with kindness.

"Good morning, old lady. Good morning, prince."

"Good day, great-grandmother, good day, father."

Looking at the two people performing the ceremony, the old lady and Lu Jingting had mixed feelings. Not long ago, Lu Zhan was still a poor boy living a hard life in the countryside with his parents killed by his parents.

But now, his manners are well-behaved, his speech is appropriate, and there is no fault in his etiquette and rules. He really looks like a young master from a noble family!

"Xiao Yunxi, how can you be a legitimate mother? You can even make a good child sick from exhaustion!"

Princess Ruan rushed in angrily and glared at Xiao Yunxi fiercely.

"Why do you say that, mother?" Xiao Yunxi's voice was indifferent, and her expression was also indifferent.

Seeing Xiao Yunxi like this, Lu Jingting felt a little flustered. He hurriedly said, "Mother, please don't say anything nonsense."

"I'm talking nonsense?! Ze Ge'er is still lying in bed sick. If it weren't for Wan'er, I wouldn't have known that someone tied sandbags to the wrists of a five-year-old boy and wrote horizontal, vertical, left, and right strokes on him over and over again!"

Ruan became more and more angry as she spoke, "Xiao Yunxi, you may be a princess, but you are also the daughter-in-law of our Zhennan Palace! How dare you treat the legitimate heir of the palace harshly, and you still refuse to kneel down and admit your mistake."

The old lady looked at the coldness in Xiao Yunxi's eyes and threw a teacup at Ruan's feet. "What are you talking about, you fool!"

Ruan looked at the furious old lady and still refused to admit her mistake.

Xiao Yunxi chuckled, "The purpose of tying the sandbag is to train the stability and flexibility of the wrist, and writing the horizontal, vertical, left, and right strokes is to lay a solid foundation. Only by persisting for a long time can you practice to the point of 'deep into the wood'."

"These are the homework that Zhan Ge'er has been doing in recent days. Old Madam, the Crown Prince, and the Princess can take a look and see if there are any changes."

Xiao Yunxi signaled Xia He and Chun Xiao to present the things.

The two maids were already angry at Princess Ruan's unreasonable scolding. They looked at each other, walked forward, arranged Zhan'er's homework according to the days, and placed Ze'er's homework next to it.

Very strong contrast.

The old lady and the others watched as Lu Zhan's handwriting became more and more beautiful, an improvement visible to the naked eye, and he created a thick stack every day.

Look at Ze Ge'er's handwriting again... it is so ugly that there has been no improvement. The amount of paper is pitifully small, and some of the handwriting is obviously not from one person. It is obvious that someone helped to write it!

The old lady and Lu Jingting were silent.

Ruan was embarrassed and her arrogance dropped. She stammered, "Then you shouldn't have made Ze'er sick from exhaustion. He is still a child after all."

Xiao Yunxi smiled, "My uncle had unclear pronunciation when he was five years old. In order to correct it, he recited the Analects with a stone in his mouth every day. His mouth was full of blood and he couldn't eat, but he never gave up. Now he has become one of the top ten literary masters in the world!"

"My brother fell off a horse when he was seven years old, and his right Achilles tendon was ruptured. He could no longer hold a pen. He insisted on practicing with his left hand for three hours every day, and never stopped even when he had a high fever. Now he is the head of the Hanlin Academy!"

"I am a girl and I don't have enough power to write, so my grandfather made me tie a sandbag on my wrist. I started with half a pound when I was five years old, and then gradually increased the weight. I never took it off when I ate, wrote, played chess, etc. Until now, I still have a four-pound sandbag tied to my wrist."

After saying that, Xiao Yunxi took off the sandbag on her wrist and threw it on the table. With a "bang", it hit in front of everyone and even into Lu Jingting's heart.

“It took nearly twenty years of hard practice to achieve my current calligraphy.”

"Because I didn't like refined rice and vegetables, I often asked the maids to secretly throw them away. My mother was worried that I would become spoiled and ignorant of the hardships of ordinary people's lives, so she sent me to a poor farm in the suburbs of Beijing. I ate and worked with a farmer for nearly half a year. Even when I fainted from hunger, she didn't take me back. Have you ever experienced that feeling of extreme hunger? I was less than five years old at the time!"

"Mother said that only by understanding the sufferings of the people can one avoid being arrogant and extravagant and wasting one's life, and only then can one be worthy of being the Princess of Dali. She is my biological mother, do you think she is being mean and abusive to me?"

Shou'an Hall was in complete silence, and even Lin Wan'er was so surprised that she was speechless.

Xiao Yunxi looked around and continued, "Because of my strict family education, I was able to recite the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of six, write poems and paint at the age of nine, and teach younger brothers and sisters in the clan on behalf of my grandfather at the age of eleven."

"There are three thousand rules in our Xiao family motto, and the first one is 'control yourself, return to propriety, and distinguish right from wrong'."

"May I ask, Princess, how many characters do Ze and Yuan know so far, they are almost six years old? How many of the Four Books and Five Classics have they read? How many arts, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs are they proficient in?"

Listening to Xiao Yunxi's questioning, not to mention Ruan, even Lu Jingting felt ashamed and wished he could crawl into the ground.

The old lady opened her mouth and wanted to say that they were young after all, but when she thought of Xiao Yunxi's uncle and brother, who were also so hardworking and motivated at a young age, she could no longer speak.

"Madam," Nanny Li walked in from outside. Sensing the heavy atmosphere in the hall, she lowered her head and said softly, "The doctors we just invited have examined Ze'er."

"Also..." She looked up at Xiao Yunxi, "The doctor Chen invited by the princess also checked Ze'er's pulse."

"What's the matter? Is he tired or has he caught a cold?" Ruan asked anxiously.

Lin Wan'er's heart was in her throat.

"The doctors all said that Ze'er is in good health and has no problems at all." Nanny Li felt embarrassed herself and hurriedly invited several doctors, but it turned out that they were pretending to be sick!

"And..." Nanny Li closed her eyes, "Doctor Chen said that Ze'er is suffering from laziness, and a meal of stir-fried pork on bamboo board can cure it!"

The old lady's face turned pale. She pretended to be sick, lazy and told lies, and even pushed the blame onto her stepmother!

No matter how useless her sons and grandsons were, none of them was as naughty as this one.

It is true that like fathers, like sons, like daughters. This slave’s son is just not up to par!

Lu Jingting's expression was not good either. How did Lin Wan'er teach her children all these years? She was already six years old, and it was fine if she couldn't recognize all the characters. Now she even asked someone to write for her homework, lied and pretended to be sick to be lazy. She was really useless!

Lin Wan'er was unwilling to accept this. Xiao Yunxi was really amazing. In the final analysis, it was all Ze Ge'er's fault.

When she was studying in the countryside, the teachers had clearly praised Ze Ge'er as a good candidate who would be able to take the imperial examination in the future. How come when it came to her, Xiao Yunxi, he was nothing? !

It was obvious that Xiao Yunxi was unwilling to teach well!

She immediately stepped forward and said loudly, "Even if Ze'er is not sick, he and Yuan'er have been complaining about wrist pain these days. Children are different from each other. The princess's method may not be suitable for Ze'er and Yuan'er. As long as the princess teaches them with all her heart, how can she not teach them well?"

What he meant was that Xiao Yunxi had selfish motives.
