Chapter 5 Hundred Miles of Qinghu

Yu Ge returned home with his mother, and at night, Yu Ge leaned alone on the railing on the side of the small building and blew the cool breeze, listening to the sound of the laurel tree in the yard with the wind, looking far away, only a piece of darkness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Jiang stepped forward, sat next to her and asked, "What does Ge'er think, so distracted." ”

Yu Ge looked at the fireflies that appeared and disappeared by the flower bed, and said, "Ge'er also wants to learn and read like Brother Pu Jian." ”

Jiang smiled: "Ge'er is willing to learn, my mother can teach you." ”

Yuge said: "I don't want to learn what Ban Zhao Cai Yong's "Female Commandments" and "Women's Training", if you want to learn, you can learn the strategy of governing the country, and the subset of history, otherwise Brother Pu Jian will not know what he will test me." ”

Jiang said with a smile: "Not to mention that you are not yet old enough to go to school, otherwise you can recognize a few words by changing into men's clothes and following your brothers." is a daughter's family, "Women's Training" and "Women's Commandments" are to be learned after all. You don't have to learn the statecraft, but as for the subset of scriptures and history, I can go and beg your father to ask him to invite a gentleman to come to the house to teach you. ”

Yu Ge looked at Jiang and praised her thousands of times in his heart. threw himself into his arms and hugged Jiang's neck and said coquettishly: "Thank you, mother!" The two played for a long time, and Jiang Shifang carried her into the house and coaxed her to sleep. That night, the Jiang family mentioned this matter to Yuhai, and Yuhai said: "She will marry into the Qin Wangfu sooner or later, and learning something early will also be beneficial to her in the future." I have an old acquaintance in Ludi, I learned from Confucius, and I know everything about the subset of scripture and history, and I am also a dragon and phoenix among people. The professor is more than enough children, and I heard that he has been in a bad situation recently, so it is better for me to ask him to come to the house to teach, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Jiang replied when he heard this: "I can trust you, but it is really as you said that there are dragons and phoenixes among people, if you have the heart, it is better to invite it overnight to save trouble." When Yuhai heard this, he immediately laid paper and ink, wrote a letter, and asked people to drive a carriage to Ludi overnight. At night, Jiang pillowed his arm, remembering that his daughter said that she didn't want to learn "Female Training" and "Female Commandment", and suddenly felt strange - she didn't even recognize the words, how did she know about Ban Zhao and Cai Yong? After thinking about it for a long time, the only thing she could think of was that she listened to what people said, didn't want to think about it anymore, and fell asleep.

It was late at night, on the Xiping County Mansion, Pu Hong sat in the high hall, looked at the full hall of strategists, and asked: "Since the afternoon to this time, no one is willing to recommend himself to be my grandson's teacher?" The people in the hall looked at each other, some were afraid that the teaching would not be good, and some were not here, and no one answered.

Pu Hong was angry, and said with a sneer: "When you entered the mansion, you said that you would do this and that, but now you can't even teach a child to read and write, what am I raising you for?" ”

At this time, one of the strategists stood up, arched his hand, and said: "Pugong Rongyu, I have been living under the door for a long time, and it is within my duty to share the worries of Pugong. It's just that in this matter, it's not that we don't want to enlighten the little boy, but that the little boy is shrewd and we are stupid, lest the poor teaching and practice will miss the future of the little boy. When Pu Hong heard this, he got up and was about to have a seizure, but he saw the strategist step forward and then said, "Although we are stupid and can't enlighten the little boy, I would like to recommend someone for Pu Gong." This person lives in Ludi, and he is determined to learn from Confucius, regardless of the subset of the history of the six arts, riding and archery, all of which are well understood, but he has no intention of being in the court. If Pu Gong can be trusted, the student is willing to go to Ludi in person to invite him to join the house as a teacher. ”

Pu Hong sat back in his seat and asked, "What is the name of the person you said?" ”

The strategist who stepped forward became more and more respectful and said, "Baili Qinghu." ”

Pu Hong was a little surprised, he had heard the name Baili Qinghu, and he had people invite him out of the mountain, but he didn't see him, and he returned in vain. After returning to Houzhao, no one mentioned this person again. So he raised his hand and asked, "How sure are you that you can invite him into the house?" ”

The counselor replied, "Seventy." ”

Pu Hong snorted coldly and said, "Seventy percent of the things, what do you need, those people will go with you, ask someone to present it early tomorrow morning, and then go and invite that Mr. Baili when it is ready." ”

Yuge saw Pu Jian again, it was late autumn, Yuge found a playmate in the alley outside Yu's house, and the two had a good time. The two were having fun with two slave girls, and the child said, "I know a place where you can often see beautiful cars and cars." ”

Yuge asked, "Where?" ”

The two winked at each other, and chased all the way to the street where the emperor was paraded. Bumped into Pu Jian, who came out of the Xiping County Mansion. Yuge ran all the way to Pu Jian and stood up, with a smile on his eyebrows, his two little hands were full of ash. Before Pu Jian could speak, he only saw a group of people coming from the long street, one of them was dressed in cold clothes, but he had his own style and bones, which was different from others. The man walked over with the crowd and also saw Pu Jian, and saw that Yuge next to Pu Jian was having fun with another child, so he came forward and joked: "This long street is the street where the emperor patrols, you play here, aren't you afraid that Captain Sili will tie you up?" ”

Yu Ge and the child looked at each other, Yu Ge only knew that there were often beautifully decorated carriages and horses passing by, how could she know that it was a royal carriage and horse, she was a person who cherished her life, and was stunned for a while. Seeing that Yuge was frightened, Pu Jian only replied to the man: "Captain Sili only binds the guilty, not the children who are playing. ”

The man smiled, turned to the entourage, and said, "This son has the appearance of a bully." After speaking, he didn't say much, and followed everyone to the Xiping County Mansion.

When Yuge returned to the house, she was a little unhappy, thinking that she was a top student, but after she was reborn, she didn't want to make progress, but became more and more alive like a five-year-old child. When Jiang saw her coming back, he hurriedly walked over and said, "I was still looking for you everywhere, but you went out of the house to play?" ”

Yuge replied, "I went out and went out into the street with the children of the neighborhood." The Jiang clan was taken aback when he heard this, what if he met a bad guy? Before he could speak, he saw Yuge ask, "What is my mother looking for Ge'er?" ”

Jiang said: "You said a few days ago that you wanted to study, and your father specially asked someone to come to Ludi to invite a gentleman for you. When the gentleman arrives, can't he look for you? ”

Yuge was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "What about Mr.?" ”

Jiang said: "Mr. still has something to do, so I went out of the mansion with my friend to the Xiping County Mansion." ”

Yuge asked again: "What is the gentleman going to do there?" ”

Jiang picked her up, walked on the corridor, and said as he walked: "I heard your father say that the carriage sent by the government to invite Mr. Baili and the carriage sent by the Xiping County Mansion arrived almost at the same time. ”

That night, Yuhai came to the small courtyard, Yuge Orthodox slave girl played with the flower rope, saw Yuhai coming, only shouted to the house: "Mother, daddy is here!" After speaking, he continued to flip, and was having fun, when he was suddenly picked up by the sea of fish and went into the house. Jiang was making a female celebrity, and when Yuhai saw it, he said, "I said not to do needlework at night, why didn't you listen?" ”

Jiang cut the thread and said, "It's winter in a blink of an eye, and Ge'er has grown taller again, can't you hurry up and make winter clothes for her?" ”

Yuhai put down Yuge and said to Jiang: "Wouldn't it be nice to let a slave girl who knows how to tailor do such a thing as making clothes, why do it yourself?" ”

Jiang smiled without saying a word, pulled Yuge to him, and said, "How can what a slave girl do compared to what her own mother does." As he spoke, he compared the newly made clothes to Yuge, and asked Yuge with a smile, "Isn't that right?" ”

Yu Ge looked at the dimples on Jiang's face with a smile, reached out and touched it lightly, and said with a smile: "Yes! After touching it, he was scratched by Jiang and laughed for a long time.

Seeing them joking, Yuhai sat down and said: "Today, Brother Li Baili said that he first received the book post from our house, and went to the Xiping County Mansion to ask for his resignation, but the Xiping County Duke did not allow it, and now even people are detained in the house, so he asked someone to discuss, saying that he would let Ge'er go to school in the Xiping County Mansion, and send a car and horse to pick us up every day, and ask us if we would like to." ”

Jiang Shi said a little angrily when he heard this: "Everyone is detained there, what else is there to discuss?" We can't go and snatch people back, it hurts the harmony of the two families. It's just that winter is in the blink of an eye, how can it be convenient to go back and forth in their own house, and besides, everyone knows that there are many children and grandchildren in the county government's family, who knows if Ge'er will be bullied if she goes? Especially the child who is missing an eye, not to mention bullying, scaring can scare Ge'er into crying. Instead of tossing back and forth, it is better to invite someone else, and he is not the only teacher in the world. ”

Yuge nested in his mother's arms and was silent, only listening to his father: "That's not the reason. Brother Baili only teaches two children in the county mansion, guess who? One is Pu Jian, who is good friends with Ge'er, and the other is Pu Chang, who has a marriage contract with Ge'er, and there is absolutely no bullying that you are worried about. So I thought it would be okay to let her go to school, so I just came and asked her for her opinion. ”

As soon as the words fell, I only heard Yu Ge say: "Ge'er is willing to go to school in the county mansion!" After all, although there are many gentlemen in the world, there is only one Mr. Baili. After hearing this, Yuhai showed appreciation in his eyes.

Jiang picked her up and asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Yuge replied: "Think about it!"

In the early morning of the next day, Pu Jian came to visit Mr. Baili in the courtyard specially set up for Mr. Baili in the county mansion. Baili Qinghu was dressed in a washed coarse cloth shirt, tied his hair and hands, and wore a crown and hat before going out to meet guests. When I saw Pu Jian, I didn't treat him as a child, but treated him as a gentleman and treated him with courtesy. Sitting in the house, Baili Qinghu said: "I heard that I only need to take three people to read and practice Chinese characters in the house, one is named Pu Chang, the son of the king of Qin, and has entered the year of Zhixue; One is named Pu Jian, the son-in-law of General Long Xiang, who has entered the year of Gong; One person is named Yuge, the granddaughter of the princess of Guangning, who has not yet entered the age of the child. If I'm not mistaken, you should be Pu Jian, the son of General Long Xiang. ”

Pu Jian replied: "It is the student. ”

Baili Qinghu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to call yourself a student if you don't worship the teacher. Then he smiled and said, "But remember that I said yesterday that you have the appearance of an overlord." ”

Pu Jian replied: "Yes." ”

Baili Qinghu said: "Your face is unusual, if you have a plan, you will be able to be rich in the future!" ”

Pu Jian said solemnly: "If one day it is as Mr. said, Pu will not forget Mr. 's kindness." ”

As he was talking, a girl in a dress stepped out of the door, and when she entered the door, her eyebrows and eyes smiled like a crescent moon, looking extremely cute and cute. Baili Qinghu knew that this was the girl from her old friend's family, so she just watched her come forward and stand in front of the two of them, and shouted, "Master." ”

Baili Qinghu was amused by her, remembering that she was a girl playing on the long street yesterday, and teased her: "Let Master see, can you wash your hands?" ”

Yuge thought about the ancients' love of books as much as their lives, and asked himself if his hands were clean, so he only raised his hands to his ears and said, "Wash them." ”

Baili Qinghu got up with a smile and said, "Today is a rare auspicious day. Since Pu Chang Gongzi will only enter the school after the spring, then I will take you to worship the teacher today. ”

After speaking, he led Pu Jian, bowed to the throne of the first saint Confucius, knelt on both knees, and kowtowed nine times; Bow to Baili Qinghu again, kowtow three times, and salute it. The scholar sent the bundle on behalf of the master's two families, and watched Pu Jian finish the apprenticeship ceremony with Yuge outside the courtyard, and watched Baili Qinghu make a pen ceremony for him, opening his wisdom with cinnabar. When the scholar looked at the situation in the courtyard, he always felt that it was different from before.

Yuge stood aside, only envy in his heart. After Pu Jian finished his salute, she went inside to bow to the master. Only Mr. Konchu is worshipped. Zi said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise. Confucius does not accept female disciples, and it is a great favor for Baili Qinghu to accept her as a disciple. As long as she can read and learn words, she has nothing else to ask for.
