Chapter 69 The gentleman complained
Jia Daishan looked at the angry teacher with great helplessness. After all, these were his grandsons, and the teacher was a good one. He could only comfort him, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, sir. This is not your fault. It's just that there are things going on at home, and my three grandsons are inevitably worried. It's just that you've misunderstood."
Upon hearing this, the teacher understood. In fact, his resentment had already dissipated considerably while he was waiting outside. However, the three students were usually very obedient, and today's events had suddenly made him feel uneasy, which was why he thought of coming to complain.
The Duke said that he had family matters to attend to, and that he was just a tutor whose job was to teach the three young masters well.
He knew he had absolutely no right to inquire about the affairs of the Duke's mansion, so he bowed and said:
"I know the reason, and it turns out that I misunderstood the three young masters."
Jia Daishan quickly said, "It was the three of them who were rude and made the teacher angry for no reason. The teacher cares about his students, and the three of them are lucky to have such a teacher. Tomorrow I will have the three of them apologize to the teacher."
After exchanging a few compliments, the gentleman's gloom dissipated, and he took his leave.
Jia Daishan sat in his study, stroking his beard as he thought...
These three naughty children are really mischievous. He thought Hu'er was usually very mature, but he didn't expect her to be causing trouble with her two younger brothers today.
Even if she cares about her aunt, she cannot be rude to her husband.
Jia Daishan thought he would have to say a few words during lunch today.
But thinking about it this way, what's wrong with the three children caring about their aunt?
After all, he's still young. I can't stop treating him like a child just because he seems mature and knows a lot.
Besides, the two younger ones are also mischievous.
Although mischievous, she has a kind heart, so I can't be too serious, lest I hurt the feelings of my three little grandchildren.
Jia Daishan was in his room, racking his brains about how to say something that would both upset his three grandsons and serve as a reminder.
Just as I was struggling with this in my room, I heard the sound of footsteps.
Jia Daishan immediately laughed. Only those three clever little devils could run around freely in his yard.
"Grandfather, Grandfather, you're back."
Jia Hu's happy voice came from the doorway.
It's true that people can't be ignored; I had just thought of them when those three clever little devils showed up.
Jia Daishan stood up, looked at the little man who ran in, and laughed:
"Where have you three little rascals been playing again?"
Seeing the three of them sweating profusely in the weather, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads one by one, then tapped each of their little heads and said:
"If you don't wipe your sweat, you'll catch a cold."
After saying that, he glanced at the maids and servants following behind him.
The maids and servants quickly apologized.
Jia Hu said with sparkling eyes:
"It's not their fault, we just ran too fast."
Jia Daishan tapped Jia Hu's forehead again and then waved his hand, signaling the maids and servants to leave.
Why are you running so fast?
Jia Zhu was no longer afraid of her grandfather. She lay on Jia Daishan's lap, staring at him with her big, cute eyes, and said, "We miss Grandpa."
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"You're so clever, hurry up and tell me what you've been doing."
Jia Zhu rubbed her little face against Jia Daishan and said:
"Grandfather, we're going to visit Aunt and her future uncle."
Jia Zhen also grabbed Jia Daishan's arm and said:
"Grand Uncle, don't you know that the person we're meeting today is Uncle Lin, whom we met last time? He's going to become our uncle-in-law?"
Jia Hu nodded vigorously in his heart.
Yes, yes, he will be our Uncle Lin from now on.
Jia Daishan listened helplessly and said:
"This matter is not completely settled yet, so the three of you cannot say anything, lest others say you are unreasonable. Do you understand?"
Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen, the children, immediately imitated Jia Hu's hand gesture of making a zipper motion, mimicking it with their mouths. They understood what this meant from their brother's unspoken words.
Jia Daishan laughed as he looked at the three men's mischievous expressions:
"Did any of you three do anything else today? Speak up and confess, and we will treat you leniently."
Seeing Jia Daishan's serious expression, the three little ones quickly tried to recall what they had done that day.
The three of them thought about it and realized that they hadn't really done anything; they had all gone to school so obediently today.
Suddenly, the three of them looked at Jia Daishan, who had a half-smile on his face.
They were all afraid that their grandfather (great-uncle) would tell them about their secret spying.
Jia Hu thought to himself, "This is crazy!"
[Oh no, oh no! Grandpa wasn't even home, yet he already knew we were spying! Grandpa's got amazing connections. Amazing, my grandpa!]
Hearing Jia Hu's admiration for him, Jia Daishan couldn't help but want to laugh, but he desperately suppressed his smile and put on a serious face.
It turns out that in just one morning, the three of them made two mistakes, and they didn't seem to consider the mistakes they made in class as problems. This is wrong and needs to be corrected.
Although she doted on her children, she couldn't. She couldn't let the descendants of the Jia family run rampant.
Jia Daishan pretended not to know and said:
"Alright, since that's the case, then you can all speak one by one."
After scanning the three of them, looking at the three little quails with their heads down, he suppressed a laugh and looked at Jia Zhu, who had buried her face in his body, and said:
"Let's start with the smallest one, Pearl."
Jia Zhu looked up, startled. Why? Shouldn't we start with the eldest brother? But she could only list on her fingers, looking aggrieved.
"First, it's not right that I couldn't get up in the morning and had to be called by the nanny many times before I could get up."
After saying that, he looked at Jia Daishan's face and then counted on his little finger, saying, "Secondly, at breakfast, my older brother told me to eat more vegetables for my health, and he even put some on my plate. I didn't like them, so I secretly put the vegetables on top of my porridge and didn't eat them."
Jia Hu looked at his pitiful little brother flipping his fingers in front of him, initially finding him somewhat cute. Upon hearing this, Li Mian's eyes immediately lit up as he looked at little Jia Zhu, thinking to himself,
[Okay, so you're playing this trick on your older brother, little pearl? You've grown up.]
Hearing what her brother was saying, Jia Zhu felt even more aggrieved. How could her grandfather let her speak first? She was about to make her brother angry, and then her brother would stop liking her.
Jia Zhu immediately added:
"Pearl, you will get up obediently from now on and eat your vegetables obediently."
She looked at Jia Hu with teary eyes, and Jia Hu was immediately overwhelmed by her cuteness. He thought to himself, "..."
[How can he be so cute? How can I be so heartless? Kids don't like eating vegetables anyway. What did my little brother do wrong? Next time, I can just ask the kitchen to make something different.]
However, he nodded seriously and said:
"Your brother will keep an eye on you."
Jia Daishan was overjoyed to hear this; all his worries outside seemed insignificant. Indeed, his little grandson was the one who could bring him the most joy.
Seeing that Jia Zhu was about to cry, Jia Daishan felt both amused and worried that his grandson shouldn't cry in this weather; what if his little face got all wrinkled?
Then he said:
"Alright, these grandfathers aren't angry anymore. Do you know what the biggest mistake you made today is?"
