CHAPTER XXV

As soon as summer began, a major event happened in the capital.

A women's school should be opened in the Guozijian, and girls of six to ten years old who are above the rank of third-grade officials can participate in the assessment, and those with excellent results in the assessment can stand out. Although I haven't said anything to the outside world about what is taught in this women's school, as soon as I heard that it was supervised by the queen herself, I knew that it would not be bad. Not to mention the side, as long as it is said that it is learned from the daughter of the country's prison in the future, then the identity can also be taken to the next level, and the marriage will definitely be smoother.

Of course, some officials are also faintly worried, after all, this is the first precedent set by this dynasty, and no one knows what the consequences will be.

On the one hand, it may really be as the queen said, dress up like this in the future, find out the character of the girls, and ensure that there will not be another queen mother in the royal family.

On the other hand, it was the emperor who felt that the clan interests in the capital that were maintained by in-laws were too deep-rooted and had gradually exceeded his control. Whenever you deal with a person, you have to think about who his son married and whose daughter he married...... Gives him a headache -

Also having a headache is the cabinet bachelor Ye Purlin. A few days ago, he was promoted to the prince and mentored the prince with morality from the first rank.

At his age, an official in his early thirties has achieved such a big age, and this dynasty has not yet done it.

There was one in the previous dynasty, but it was a big corrupt official who was flamboyant and corrupt, and was finally sentenced to death with thin skin cramps.

In addition to speaking softly to Runrun and the old lady, Ye Purlin looked cold-faced to others, and ordinary colleagues couldn't even say a few words when they saw it. On the one hand, he has such a personality, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to appear too close to anyone.

Besides, there are so many learned people in the cabinet, which one can be picked out to be worse than him? Not to mention that his colleagues saw him with erratic eyes, even he himself couldn't sit still.

In the end, he had no choice but to find his teacher, Yuan Jing, the first assistant of the cabinet, who is now the national staff master.

Yuan Jing was also born at the grassroots level, and climbed up all the way in a hurry. The Yuan family now has two daughters-in-law, one has become the queen, and the other is the Duchess of Chengguo. Cheng Guogong is not the kind of person who eats with empty titles, but he has also led soldiers to fight, and personally captured a Tatar Shan Yu, a fierce general, with heavy troops in his hands. These two couples are still in deep love and envy of others.

The people of the time said that who did not say that 'women in the world are not as good as men, and the Yuan family is not as good as women'.

Although Yuan Jing has been staring at the official position of the first assistant to the cabinet in recent years, he has frequently taken leave and lived in a simple house. Raise flowers at home every day, betta fish, go to the Chengguo Mansion with your wife to sit and sit in your spare time, and watch your grandchildren and granddaughters around your knees, how comfortable the days are.

When Ye Purlin came to see him, he had just returned from fishing in the lake. The thin layer of sweat on his forehead is a little more amiable than his usual stern and upright appearance.

Ye Ling bowed to the end, "Student Ye Ling has seen the teacher. ”

Yuan Jing said: "Why is the kung fu coming over now, it's hot, let your master bring you a plate of cold tea to eat." ”

Outside, I heard Chen's dissatisfied muttering, "Why do you want to go ahead to entertain students, and now you don't want to borrow my hand?" ”

The two of them are models of affection, and they have been married for decades, and their love is as good as ever.

Chen is almost old, but because of the proud maintenance, she looks like a woman in her early fifties, and her black hair does not look old. However, Yuan Jing's eyes have suddenly failed in the past few years, and he has become more and more unclear about seeing things, and when he reads some small characters, he must use a magnifying glass from the West to see them.

Yuan Jing pretended to be angry and glared at his wife, Chen pursed his lips and smiled, and began to let the maid go to prepare food and refreshments.

Yuan Jing wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, and beckoned Ye Xuan and said, "Jinqian, don't be restrained when you come to me, sit down." After a while, the tea and fruit came up and I ate some food, and I went first to change my clothes and relax quickly. ”

Prudence and humility are his cousins, and now only the emperor and teachers will call him like this.

When Ye Purlin came, it was really the sunset that was about to set, and when the weather was the hottest, he came in an official uniform, and the inside was already soaked.

But even though the teacher said so, he didn't really relax, and when he sat upright, he had straightened his back-

Yuan Jing didn't take long to change into homely clothes and come out, and when he saw that he still looked strict, he also felt normal. A large part of the reason why the two of them can achieve a teacher-student friendship is because there are things very similar to the two. Coming from a humble background is one thing, and temperament is another.

Seeing him coming, Ye Ling immediately got up and bowed down and said, "Teacher, the student is here to ......"

Yuan Jing raised his hand to stop his words, and it happened that Chen came in from outside with a fruit bowl, and as soon as he came in, he saw the two of them standing without saying a word, and after putting down the things in his hand, he tacitly withdrew the people who were waiting inside and outside.

Yuan Jing let him drink a cup of tea with him, and then said slowly: "I have also guessed some things on your mind, but you and I both know in our hearts that this matter is one thing with our own knowledge, and the main thing is to look at the mind of the head." This is an official, and the three grades go up, it has nothing to do with your knowledge and vision. As long as you know how to do things and can figure out the mind of the above, you will not make mistakes. ”

Although the two are somewhat similar in terms of personality, they are not exactly the same in other places.

"This dynasty has only been passed down for several generations, and the foundation is still shallow. The most taboo above is the collusion of the previous dynasty, and the wolf bèi is a traitorous family. Yuan Jing felt that he had said enough, and he seemed a little noisy, if the student in front of him couldn't understand it, he was really helpless.

Ye Purlin used to focus on learning, and thanks to the teacher's advice in government affairs and human relations, he suddenly became enlightened at this time.

Indeed, there are many people in the cabinet who are more educated than him, but there are only a handful of people who are worse than his family background. If you think about the comprehensive essence of these people, it makes sense that this position is his turn.

"I've been taught, thank you, teacher." Ye Purlin got up and made a deep bow to Yuan Jing again-

The two chatted a few more words, and it was getting late, and Ye Ling said goodbye.

Before parting, Yuan Jing suddenly remembered something and said, "I heard that you have a daughter named 'Runrun'?" Why haven't I heard you mention it? ”

Ye Ling didn't understand for a while, he had two sons and daughters in his family, and he didn't say that any of them had to be named by the ward teacher. Besides, according to his temperament, it is not that he will let his children deliberately beg for favor in front of the teacher.

Yuan Jing nodded again and said, "It's good, you also know about the female school, let the two girls in your family come." ”

Zhen Zhen is definitely going to go, although her age is not up to standard, but she is only a few months away, and it is not a big problem. Who doesn't know that the eyes of the Xinwang Mansion are staring at the throne of the crown princess.

So what Yuan Jing meant by this was to let him not leak Zhen Zhen.

Although Ye Purlin didn't understand the meaning of the teacher's words for a while, he still responded.

Of course, Yuan Jing didn't hear it from others, but from the mouth of his granddaughter Ruyi. During the day, they fish by the lake, and Ruyi mentions 'Runrun' from time to time. Yuan Jing was curious that his granddaughter, who had such a domineering personality, could also hand over a handkerchief, and after some inquiry, he learned that it was not someone else, but his own student's family.

I just hope that the little girl will not have the same sex as his father. If the girl is like that, it will be too boring, and his granddaughter may not be tired of such a friend in a long time-

Ye Purlin returned home, scrubbed his body, changed out of his sweaty clothes, and went to the old lady to say goodbye.

Because he came back a little late, dinner was already on the table.

The family, except for the county lord of Jing'an and Zhen Zhen, also arrived, and the table was full.

Runrun is struggling with a four-happiness pill with her mouth open, obviously it seems to be a simple thing, but she has a little difficulty doing it, and the pill fell into the bowl with a 'bang' after a while, and no one on the side helped her.

As soon as the maid who opened the curtain for him announced, the old lady hurriedly gave Runrun a look, Runrun put down the chopsticks, and ran to Ye Ling's legs, "Daddy, are you tired?" Come in and sit. As she spoke, she pulled Ye Ling to the chair that belonged to her and sat down, and then asked the maid to bring a high stool to make up for it.

Ye Purlin's series of actions by her daughter are also a little confused, after so many years, there has never been anything to distract Runrun, who is eating meat. It seems that she is very focused when she is eating.

"Daddy, you eat!" Runrun pushed his own chopsticks in front of his father, she couldn't pick up the meatball just now, she always fell into the bowl, and she hadn't eaten it yet, so her father shouldn't dislike it, right?

Ye Ling looked at the pill that was about to be scattered, and then looked at the silver zhu in his hand. When did his family start eating with chopsticks? Don't you always use a spoon?

…… How can today's events be more abnormal than one another.

The old lady and Su Shi both pursed their lips and smiled, it was the two sisters Ya Jue and Xiuqiong, and the two brothers Ye Heng and Ye Yu couldn't help but bend the corners of their mouths.

"Mother, sister-in-law, Runrun, what's the matter?" Ye Ling wondered.

The old lady couldn't hold back anymore and said with a smile: "We Runrun said that we want to go to the women's school run by Shangguozi, I am afraid that you will not agree, so we specially let us come to talk to you today." I was afraid that we wouldn't help, so I asked for them one by one. ”

…… It's no wonder that suddenly in the summer, the whole family sits together and eats together.

The old lady continued to laugh and said, "Just now Ah Yu also said that Guozijian will have lunch there at noon, and it is not okay to continue to use a spoon like this for Runrun. So I changed it to chopsticks, but I didn't put a ball in my mouth for a quarter of an hour, and we weren't allowed to help. ”

Runrun was nervous next to her for a while, wringing her fingers, and pulling her skirt for a while, her big wet eyes flickering but she didn't dare to look at her father.

Ruyi wrote to her, told her about it, and told her that if we could go to school together in the future, we could see each other every day, and she couldn't sleep with joy.

However, Ruyi also said that this matter can only be successful with her father's consent, Runrun felt that she didn't like everyone in the palace last time, and her father might not want her to go out to socialize anymore in the future, so he thought about letting the whole family be a lobbyist for him.
