Chapter 146 Knowing the shortcomings and making up for them

Everyone's eyes were on Shen Shuyi. Not only the people from the first and second rooms, but also the maids and servants nearby were watching what was going on here.

Shen Shuyi wasn't sure how many people really cared about it, but there were still many people watching the fun.

Facing Chen Kang, who was more than two heads taller than her, Shen Shuyi was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not show any panic at all. She just said, "As the saying goes, you should convince others with reason. Sir, you want to punish Shuyi without knowing the truth. I'm sorry that Shuyi cannot agree with it."

Chen Kang said coldly: "You are stubborn and stubborn. You know you are wrong but you refuse to change. Now you are still making excuses. You are really cunning!"

Shen Shuyi looked coldly at Chen Kang's dark face and said calmly, "Mr. Chen has no wisdom in judging people, nor in understanding worldly affairs. He has knowledge but cannot put it into practice. Now I understand why Mr. Chen can only stay in a corner of the Shen family."

Hearing these words, Chen Kang was so angry that his lungs were about to explode!

He had studied hard for more than ten years and devoted himself to learning. He was even more diligent and conscientious in teaching at the Shen family. But now he was accused in public by a young boy. How could he not be angry at such humiliation!

"Jinzhu, pack up and let's go back." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice.

"Yes, miss." Upon hearing that, Jinzhu hurried forward to pack up her things, not caring at all about Chen Kang's face which turned from red to green and then from green to purple.

Before leaving, Shen Shuyi looked at Chen Kang, bowed, and said softly, "Student, take your leave."

"Stop right there!" Chen Kang had never suffered such humiliation before. He turned around, looked at the girl's back, and spoke angrily.

Shen Shuyi stopped and looked cold, wanting to see what Chen Kang was going to say.

"If you dare to step out of this school today, you don't have to come here in the future! I, Chen, have limited talent and knowledge, and I can't teach you, the second lady of the Shen family!" Chen Kang was furious.

Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were cold and indifferent, and she said in a gentle voice: "The teacher just said in class that only when you know your shortcomings can you make up for them. Shuyi thinks that this is true for students, and even more so for teachers. If you feel that your talents and knowledge are limited, you should encourage yourself more."

After saying this, Shen Shuyi ignored Chen Kang's reaction and turned away calmly.

"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!!!"

Chen Kang's chest heaved violently, and the ruler in his hand slammed heavily on the table, as if he had a lot of anger in his heart and nowhere to vent it.

After Shen Shuyi left, my mood didn't change much.

Jinzhu followed beside him and couldn't help but say, "I was really scared just now. Mr. Chen is always strict. I was really afraid that the stick would hit your hand."

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Among aristocratic families, when students make mistakes, the teacher will usually punish the servant first. Only when the mistake is serious will the student be punished. Now Mr. Chen wants to punish me without any reason. It's obvious that he is targeting me. I'm not stupid. How can I stand there and let him beat me?"

Jinzhu complained dissatisfiedly: "I thought Mr. Chen was upright and honest, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person."

Hearing this, Shen Shuyi said slowly: "He may not be a bad person, but he is too strong and easily broken, and he is also easy to be taken advantage of."

But no matter what, Chen Kang was prejudiced and criticized her without any reason, which was not the behavior of a teacher.

"Mr. Chen will definitely complain to the Madam or the Master later, so won't the Miss still be scolded?" Yuping couldn't help but worry.

Shen Shuyi said gently: "Let him go, he won't cause any trouble anyway."

The group had not walked far when Feicui came over in a hurry and said, "Miss, the young lady from the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion has sent a visiting card and wants to see you. Madam has allowed her to come in."

Hearing that it was Zhao Xueqing coming, Shen Shuyi quickened his pace.

In Yunshu Garden.

Zhao Xueqing wore a moon-white crabapple flower long skirt with a smoky pink lining, which was simple, elegant and beautiful.

She was standing in the yard admiring the flowers. Although it was already autumn, after Shen Shuyi's yard was renovated, she grew a lot of extremely difficult to grow orchids, so each one was incredibly beautiful.

"Cousin." Shen Shuyi spoke in a gentle voice.

Zhao Xueqing looked back with some joy in her eyes: "How do you grow these orchids, cousin? The Marquis' Mansion has also grown orchids many times over the years, but orchids are difficult to grow and delicate, and they are picky about the climate. Many of them died in the mansion, and now we dare not plant them in large quantities anymore."

Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Cousin, you asked the wrong person. These orchids are newly planted and it's still unclear whether they can survive."

Zhao Xueqing smiled and said, "I thought you had some secret method."

Shen Shuyi invited Zhao Xueqing into the room, and after several maids served tea and fruit, they left.

Zhao Xueqing got straight to the point and said in a gentle voice, "Cousin, to be honest, I came here today because of my uncle's request."

"Uncle?" Shen Shuyi asked.

Zhao Xueqing nodded and took out a palm-sized rosewood box from her sleeve. The box had a simple and elegant look to it, with rich and ancient sandalwood scent that made people feel peaceful. There were two golden lotuses carved on the surface of the box, which looked elegant and simple.

Zhao Xueqing pushed the box in front of Shen Shuyi.

"The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. I heard that His Majesty intends to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday banquet and autumn hunting together this year. This is the gift that the Marquis' Mansion prepared for the Queen Mother. I am always worried that it is not appropriate, so I asked me to come to you to ask if it is appropriate."

Shen Shuyi had to admit that Zhao Dehai was well-informed.

The Empress Dowager celebrated her sixtieth birthday this year, and preparations for the birthday banquet began three months in advance. Because she had not left the palace for a long time, Emperor Qianwu in his previous life did combine this birthday banquet with the annual autumn hunt to celebrate for the Empress Dowager.

Shen Shuyi opened the box and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

In the box is an extremely exquisite ivory bracelet, which is carved using a hollow technique. It is clear, moist and slightly cool. Each bead is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers. Not only are they all the same size, but they also have a bright luster and are of exceptional quality.

Looking more closely, the scripture engraved on the beads is "The Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva". The handwriting is simple and beautiful. Just by holding it in your hand, you can tell that it is a top-notch product.

"This thing is very good. It caters to the Empress Dowager's preferences and is low-key enough, which is just right for the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice.

Princess Guining spent a huge amount of money to build a red-gold pagoda, so the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion naturally had to avoid it.

Therefore, the choice of this ivory bracelet is just right and will not make Princess Guining unhappy.

After receiving Shen Shuyi's affirmation, Zhao Xueqing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good. My uncle has been thinking about it for a long time, but he still can't let it go."

Of course Shen Shuyi knew what Zhao Dehai was worried about.

The Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion had no intention of competing before, so it didn't matter what the gift was, as long as it didn't cause any mistakes and wasn't too high-profile, then it would be fine.

But now that the Qingyuan Marquisate is planning to join the game and want to compete, this thing is obviously not enough.

"This bracelet is naturally excellent, but I have a suggestion that may make this gift even better." Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice.
