7. Noble Girl's Life Record VI
Kangxi is a person who pays attention to the standard of living, there has been no major incident in the DPRK recently, and the prince chatted with Yan Zuo on this day, and thought that he likes to study some new things, including meals, and took the prince out of the palace with some ideas.
Kangxi still has an impression of Xiaobeile Mansion, at least he can find which is the study and which is the banquet living room, and he didn't call anyone to report when he entered the mansion, so he went directly to the study.
Yan Zuo's study is not only for reading and writing, it is just in line with the setting of a small library, on the left side of the door is a separate set of bookcases, and on the right is four long tables and chairs placed together, each with a set of four treasures of the study.
The rows of elm bookshelves are two people high, and there are books of different ages and new ones, although most of them are new books, not authentic works of famous artists, but they are also really for people to learn and read.
The prince and the fourth elder brother who saw it for the first time were simply stunned, they hadn't seen anyone's study arranged like this!
The two walked to the bookshelf and browsed the titles on the spine, and there were even foreign books.
At this time, they heard a sound on the bookshelf next to them, their expressions changed, and they walked over in a few steps, only to see a pink flower falling from the appearance, and the fourth elder brother, who was close, subconsciously reached out to his arms and looked at a pair of bright big eyes in a daze.
At this time, Kangxi also walked over: "What's the matter?" ”
This woke up the two brothers, and the prince came back to his senses and replied:
"Huang Ama!" I didn't know what to say about the situation when I opened my mouth.
The fourth elder brother didn't say much, but only put the little girl in his arms on the ground.
Taozhuo looked at these strangers with wide eyes and curiosity, not knowing what kind of reaction she should make.
Only then did Kangxi see clearly the ball of pink caught by the fourth child, the appearance of being a teenager, falling down from the ladder and holding on to a book, and there was no panicked look, the delicate little flag wore a few flowers on his head, and he was wearing a pink cotton horse clip, although the materials and workmanship were simple, he looked at her facial features and smiled:
"You're the little Ge Ge Ronghui of the Yan Zuo family, right? You've grown so big, but your body is getting better? ”
"It's much better, thank you for your concern, I don't know who this uncle is?"
Taozhuo has made great progress during this time, there is no problem with daily communication, and etiquette has been picked up again.
Kangxi laughed again, and led the little girl to sit down on a chair with a row of long desks:
"I'm your imperial uncle, don't you remember? This is your prince's brother, and that is your fourth brother. The words were intimate, blurring the inappropriate behavior of the fourth elder brother hugging her just now.
Taozhuo blinked in confusion, and found out this paragraph from his memory, probably when the original owner was four or five years old, he was used to by Ama and the Queen Mother, and often entered the palace, calling the elder brother and the princess brother and sister.
The prince understood her identity as soon as he heard it, and promptly retracted the behavior that was originally going to make fun of the fourth elder brother's "hero saves beauty", and said with a smile:
"It's you! Why are you so naughty and climb so high? Fortunately, the fourth brother caught you, otherwise you wouldn't have to make Ama feel distressed if you fell? ”
Without waiting for Tao Zhuo to answer, Yan Zuo came in, asked Kangxi, the prince, and the fourth elder brother to say goodbye, and when he saw his daughter, he was stunned and asked with a smile:
"Tao Tao doesn't remember, this is Banzai Lord, can you say hello to Banzai and the two masters?"
Taozhuo saluted Kangxi's father and son seriously, and was so well-behaved that he had a great parallax from before.
The prince looked at her curiously and put it down, the identity of the county lord of Ronghui was naturally unusual.
Yan Zuo, a close minister of the emperor, the daughter of the county lord of the clan, the granddaughter of the queen mother, the granddaughter of Prince Kang, and the niece and cousin of the emperor, even if they are born in Mongolia, they are more noble than the princesses in the palace in some respects because of their Mongolian status.
But now that people are stupid, it is not worth paying attention to, the prince focused on the conversation between Huang Ama and Yan Zuo, and interjected a sentence or two from time to time.
The fourth elder brother stayed silent.
He has some impressions of Taozhuo when he was a child, compared to a few years of not seeing each other, he has grown up a lot, and his temperament is much quieter than before, thinking about her for the queen mother, he has some strange pity in his heart.
Tao Zhuo did not leave the study, sat at the desk where he usually sits, opened the book in his hand, and took notes and copied it while reading.
The fourth elder brother couldn't interject in the conversation between Huang Ama and Yan Zuo, and when he saw her on the side, he was curious about what she was writing, so he walked behind her, and he couldn't help but feel bruised.
A lump of ink on the paper, at first glance, is the masterpiece of a beginner who learns to write, with the conditions of the Merzhele family, she should have been learning to write for a few years, but now this level is ...... I suddenly remembered that she was sick and forgot a lot of things, and she almost swallowed a bad review.
"You don't hold the pen and move the pen with the wrong force."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Taozhuo tilted his head and looked at the fourth elder brother, asking silently.
At the look of those penetrating big eyes, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen almost forgot what he wanted to say, coughed uncomfortably, explained some essentials to her, and finally let her hold the middle and lower part of the pen with her little hand, and took her to write a few simple words by holding the first half of the pen.
Taozhuo looked at what Yinzhen wrote with her, compared it to what she wrote herself, and then looked at the words in the book, and looked at him with bright eyes, which made the fourth elder brother's heart soft.
What happened here, Kangxi and Yan Zuo naturally saw it, and Yan Zuo said proudly to Kangxi:
"Tao Tao learns to write, I personally taught her!"
Kangxi squirted out a mouthful of tea when he heard it, and pointed at him for a long time unable to speak.
Li Dequan hurriedly took out a handkerchief to clean it up for him.
"You still have the face to mention, just your bad words, you are embarrassed to teach Taozhuo, and you are not afraid of delaying the child!"
Yan Zuo was also a little embarrassed, he couldn't get used to using a hard pen, and he still couldn't write well after practicing for a few years, so he didn't have high requirements for his children.
"The old four characters are well written, you have time to teach Taozhuo, don't be taught crooked by her uncompetitive Amma."
Yan Zuo didn't care when he heard Kangxi smearing him, and happily asked the fourth elder brother:
"Then there is Brother Lao, the word slave is really not very good."
"Finally, there is self-knowledge!" Kangxi joked about his cousin and important minister.
Yinzhen stood up when Kangxi mentioned him, and heard Yan Zuo's polite words.
"Haven't He Zhuo and Lan Zhuo finished their studies yet?"
"No, it won't be dispersed until the unitary."
"I don't know what to say about you! Lin Zhuo will let you send him into the study, you have to say anything worried that he will not be able to endure the hardships and embarrass you, send him to Songhe Academy, and he was not willing to give birth to twins, as if he would eat people in the study. I don't think the academy is much easier than the palace! ”
This is the truth, Songhe Academy is an old academy, and I don't know how many people and scholars come out, and the schoolwork is usually very heavy. The entry threshold is not low, regardless of status, once you become a student of the college, you will be treated equally.
Kangxi didn't care about this, but was puzzled by Yan Zuo's behavior.
You must know that not all the descendants of the emperor's relatives can enter the study, and the courtiers are only favored to have grace, and those who can be allowed to enter the study are all proud of it, but Yan Zuo is still unwilling.
Yan Zuo coped with the past as always, he also had a plan in his heart, don't look at the princes who are happy now, it is not yet the time to win the heir, Kangxi is now willing to let his son and the princes get close, and this will not be the case in a few years.
With his own status, he can't avoid this war, since he doesn't want to stand up, he has to avoid suspicion, let his son and the princes learn and grow up together, if there is a feeling, how can you say that you can avoid it?
He also talked about what he saw and heard in Sichuan to divert Kangxi's attention, and his witty words made the listeners laugh from time to time.
The father and son had dinner at Baylor House before leaving.
