Listening to Mrs. Yu's continuous complaints here, Tang Guogong's brows have not relaxed since the beginning. He understood the situation and really couldn't bear to punish Tang Zhengrong, but what he did was really ugly.
After a pause, Tang Guogong asked Yu to get up first: "What are you doing? The Duke's office still needs to know some etiquette."
If only the Yu family's children made mistakes, plus this big fuss, it would be enough to disappoint Tang Guogong. But looking at the clay figures, coupled with the Yu family's reluctance, I am afraid Tang Zhengrong would be unreasonable.
Already.
Mrs. Yu, who was helped up by Butler Chen, was still wiping her tears.
"Okay, I understand Tang Zhengrong's matter. Although he did not take the initiative to harm others, he has caused mutual responsibilities of the same bloodline. Tang Zhengrong has no choice but to bear the responsibility. He and Liu are ordered to be grounded in Xingfangju from today."
After saying this, Tang Zhengrong suspected that his father had no way to deal with the Yu family and was looking for a punishment to deal with it.
Even Mrs. Yu shouted that she was unwilling when she heard this order.
"Master, our children all fell into the water. Is this punishment too light now?"
As he said this, Tang Qinghuan and the others all stared at Tang Guogong's expression.
Butler Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. What kind of eyesight does this Yu have? Tang Zhengrong is now the favorite child of the Duke of Guo. In addition, he has not made any mistakes on his own initiative. The grounding is enough. If it continues, it may not end well.
.
Thinking about this, Butler Chen jumped out and spoke to Mrs. Yu and the other aunts: "Madam, the palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh. I can't let Tang Zhengrong fall into the water too? Grounding is already a punishment for children who are naturally playful.
Can you ladies live a quiet life for a few days?"
As he said this, Butler Chen signaled the other ladies not to mess around with Mr. Yu.
As someone close to him, Butler Chen knew it very well. Sure enough, after Butler Chen gave his signal, the aunts said that was all, leaving the lonely Mrs. Yu looking around blankly.
"What? Do you have other ideas?"
Hearing the cold tone, Mrs. Yu's whole body trembled, and when she saw Tang Guogong's disgusted eyes, she became frightened.
"No, not anymore."
The Liu family was not the only one who was dissatisfied with the result? Even Tang Qinghuan couldn't believe that so many people were their father's children, why not punish him? Sure enough, the mother said that his father's partiality was true! He swore in his heart that he and Tang Zhengrong were incompatible with each other!
With that said, Tang Guogong motioned to Butler Chen to handle the affairs here.
Feeling ashamed that such a commotion had occurred in the house, Butler Chen took Tang Zhengrong and Mrs. Liu back to Xingfangju.
On the way back, Mrs. Liu kept crying and complaining that she had no ability. It was obviously not Tang Zhengrong's fault, but she was still grounded. Tang Zhengrong had no choice but to look at Tang Yanzhi and Butler Chen who were following him.
"It has become a bit conspicuous recently. It is not a bad thing for us to disappear from everyone's eyes for a while, not to mention that it is nothing but a grounding."
Seeing that Tang Zhengrong could understand the master's good intentions, Butler Chen said: "Yes, Aunt Liu, the situation at that time was afraid that you and the Yu family would have the same result. The master had made up his mind, and it was useless for anyone to say.
"
Only Tang Yanzhi remained silent on the way. When Butler Chen asked Aunt Liu to find someone to talk to him about what she was missing, she went to Xingfangju and told Tang Zhengrong aggrievedly: "I should have followed you at that time. I thought it wouldn't be possible."
There is such a big movement.”
Unexpectedly, Tang Qinghuan beat him up when the thief shouted "Catch the thief", and waited for him to rush over, but his expression was not clear.
Seeing Tang Yanzhi blaming himself like this, Tang Zhengrong was very open-minded: "If I were like you, I wouldn't take action as a last resort. Naturally, I don't want others to see it."
Especially those with some ability. As for the embroidered pillows in the mansion, Tang Zhengrong had not seen them yet.
When meeting Tang Guogong, Tang Yanzhi explained to her, and Tang Zhengrong knew that Tang Yanzhi respected her choice by leaving at that time.
"Really? But I still think your grounding has something to do with me. Everyone has preconceived notions, and I can't explain it clearly."
Seeing that Tang Yanzhi was still struggling with this matter, Tang Zhengrong patted Tang Yanzhi on the shoulder: "Don't worry about it. I, the client, have nothing to do with it."
"Besides, I think my father is very good. He was annoyed a lot by people like Tang Qinghuan in school during this period, and now he has just calmed down."
As Tang Yanzhi was about to say something else, Tang Zhengrong took the lead and said, "If you are a good brother and sister, you must listen to the class carefully and show me the content of the class without leaving any room. You cannot be selfish."
Don't think about going to school these days. There will be problems if you continue. It's better to avoid the limelight. Tang Zhengrong thought that after going to school, he would spend a lot less time with his mother.
After listening to Tang Zhengrong's words, Tang Yanzhi naturally agreed.
"Don't worry, I will go back now. I will come and draw you the content of the school on time. You don't have to worry about that."
After Tang Yanzhi left, Tang Zhengrong took out the drawings he had made in his spare time from the study to find Aunt Liu.
Seeing Tang Zhengrong coming, Aunt Liu said with concern: "I wanted Chunqin to go find you just now. Your clothes are torn. I just want to mend them for you. You can also choose the color of the fabric you like."
"Speaking of which, the clothes I made for you earlier were all based on my ideas, and you didn't even tell me your preferences."
Aunt Liu's eyes were really full of herself. Tang Zhengrong felt that it was really good. It was the best experience here.
"Then I will choose and discuss it with my mother. I will send you the clothes tomorrow. I will rest today."
The woman in this inner house did not have much activity on weekdays. When Tang Zhengrong saw Aunt Liu running towards her today, she felt heartbroken by the fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Miss, what are the drawings on these papers you brought?"
Chunqin curiously picked it up from the table. Nowadays, the young lady is a little smart and has many ideas. There are a bunch of these drawings, but she can't figure out what they are.
Chunqin's words caught Aunt Liu's attention, and she followed her to look, but she was also confused.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Tang Zhengrong explained: "I designed the mechanism. We don't have many people in Xingfangju, and the cost of manpower has increased. I plan to use these mechanisms to provide some protection."
Then he showed it to Aunt Liu and Chunqin: "This is a combination of small crossbow arrows and the pattern of the eaves. Normally you can't see the mechanism. As long as you touch the mechanism, fine short arrows will be emitted."
Aren't all carpenters or blacksmiths aware of these things? Aunt Liu looked at Tang Zhengrong with a complicated expression: "You have never mentioned these things before, so why are you designing them?"
The drawings were not simple assumptions. They also had specific measured dimensions. Naturally, Tang Zhengrong could not tell the truth: "After Mr. Luo's academic instruction, you can learn other things by reading books and studying a little bit."
