41.Chapter 41: Zhao Minyi
Shun Guogong looked at Zhao Chengyi for a moment, and immediately dispelled the idea of insisting on sending Zhao Chengyi to the Royal Academy, maybe Jinhua Academy was not a good choice.
He stared at Zhao Chengyi's calm eyes, and asked coldly, "Why do you want to worship Lin Gu as a teacher?" What do you want to learn from him? ”
Zhao Chengyi lowered his eyes and said: "My grandson once happened to see some deeds of the Lin family in my grandfather's study, and learned that the Lin family has martial arts skills that are not passed down to the outside world, and the children of the Lin family are all outstanding in martial arts, and the legend even has the courage to directly take the head of the enemy among the ten thousand armies." The grandson wants to worship Lin Gu as a teacher and learn martial arts. ”
Shun Guogong's face softened slightly, and said: "You also said that it was a legend, so you know that the credibility is doubtful." And the Lin family has been hidden for a hundred years, how do you know that Lin Gu can inherit the Lin family's mastery? I heard that he is not well-known in Jinhua College. ”
Zhao Chengyi raised his eyes to face Shun Guogong, and said very seriously: "It is precisely because the Lin family has been willing to be a hermit for a hundred years, and Lin Gu has a poor reputation even if he teaches in Jinhua Academy, and he is even more sure that the descendants of the Lin family have excellent tutors, and the inheritance must not be bad." And even if it's wrong, what's the matter, it's just the same as it is now. ”
Shun Guogong nodded, he had already decided in his heart, and now seeing that Zhao Chengyi was clear-minded and reasonable, he agreed, but still said: "You are so keen on practicing martial arts, but why?" At first, he thought that Zhao Chengyi was born to be martial, but now seeing him so calm and thoughtful, he doubted it.
Zhao Chengyi squeezed his hand and took a breath before lowering his head again and said: "My grandson has loved martial arts since he was a child, and the pursuit of martial arts is the dream of all martial arts practitioners. But if my grandfather asks about anything else, it is also to protect himself and his family in the future. ”
Shun Guogong wanted to know why he had such a strong desire to protect himself and protect his family at such a young age, but he knew that it was difficult to ask for a while, not to mention that this was a good thing after all, so he nodded and said, "Okay, that's it, you can follow your Ruan family uncle into the academy." It's just important to know that you didn't enter the academy directly as a descendant of the Zhao family, and whether you can worship Lin Gu as a teacher depends on yourself. Even if you worship him as a teacher, you must keep a low profile and don't cause trouble. ”
Zhao Chengyi knew this result for a long time, and still kowtowed to his grandfather and thanked him.
However, despite the consent of Grandpa Shunguo, Zhao Chengyi's entry into Jinhua Academy still received great resistance from his mother Zhuang.
An Geun got up in the morning and did a simple set of yoga in bed, got up to change her clothes, had breakfast, and sat down on a bamboo recliner in the corner of the window in her small study, slowly observing her new study.
The concubine was happy and quiet, and did not order the Anjin sisters to get up early to ask for peace, but only ordered them to go to the palace every day to have dinner together, and the rest of the time was arranged by themselves.
The study is not big, only 200 square feet, and the other rooms in this courtyard, you can see the traces of new decoration, except for a small amount of furniture that Cai Qing said was used by the concubine Niangniang and sent it to her, all of them were newly replaced from the warehouse. What Anjin likes very much is that one side of the large Nanmu desk is facing the window, and the window is made of brand new transparent glass, and she can clearly see the grape trellis and golden laurel trees in the courtyard. At this time, it is the season of golden osmanthus flowers, a window is opened, and the room is full of flowers.
Directly opposite the recliner is a Nanmu bookshelf full of books, and there are some Buddhist miscellaneous books in the subset of scriptures and histories. Cai Qing explained: "Niang Niang is very quiet, I am afraid that Miss will be bored alone, so I have found some for Miss, Miss has lived, you can bring your favorite books, make adjustments, or put them on the other side of the bookshelf." An Geun turned his head, and sure enough, the bookshelves next to him were empty.
An Geun smelled the fragrance of flowers, took a few deep breaths, and asked with a smile: "Yesterday was busy, and I didn't have time to ask carefully, I saw that the furniture in this courtyard seemed to be newly purchased, but I don't know who lived in this courtyard?" And what was the original name of this hospital? ”
Cai Qing replied respectfully: "This courtyard was originally called Qinggui Courtyard, but because of the golden cinnamon in the courtyard, it is said to have a history of 100 years. Since Niangniang stayed in Qingyou Palace, this courtyard has been empty. Only the guest house where the third lady lives in this west hall is specially prepared for the ladies and ladies who come to live in the palace. ”
An Jin nodded, the east hall is where Princess Changhua once lived, and it is also the residence where Xiao Ye came to the palace now. She lay on the recliner and slowly fiddled with the snow jade sent by Queen Xiang, thoughtfully, looking at this posture, she entered the palace by herself, it didn't seem that Concubine Zhao just avoided trouble for a short time because she beat the daughter of the eldest princess Yonghua, but it seemed that she had prepared in advance, and let herself stay for a long time, and the incident of beating people was just a perfect excuse to take herself into the palace.
Speaking of the guest house, I can't help but think of the scene in my sister's courtyard last night.
The third princess took her sister to the guest house where her sister lived, and just asked the sisters in a soft voice all the way if they were used to it in the palace and whether they were missing anything, and asked her sister what she had done at home in the past few days, and whether she had gone to her grandfather's house.
When they arrived at the guest house, the palace maid who was waiting had prepared new tea, and the third princess took a sip of tea, and then ordered the palace maid behind to hold a half-foot-wide golden silk sandalwood gift box, and said to An Jin with a smile: "Just now in the hall, I saw the snow jade bracelet given to the seventh sister by the queen mother, I can't take this gift at all, but this is my heart, and the seventh sister should not be disgusted." Open it up and take a look, but you like it? ”
Under the smiling gaze of the three princesses, she opened the exquisitely carved gift box, and saw a row of delicate and small pearl heads lying on the red silk, three hair combs made of rice-grain-sized, mung-bean-sized and soybean-sized pearls, a pair of soybean-sized pearls inlaid into a plum-shaped golden hairpin, a pair of rice-grain-sized pearl tassels, a pair of earrings, and a necklace. The pearls are not big, and it can be seen that the value is not particularly expensive, but the victory lies in the fact that the pearls are crystal full, the size is uniform, and the work is exquisite, which should be very popular with the little girl.
An Jin actually liked it very much, she looked at it and smiled, and thanked the third princess very happily, before ordering Cai Qing to put it away carefully.
The third princess took An Jin's hand, looked at her little face and said with a somewhat nostalgic expression: "At that time, I was also so big, I loved these small jewelry the most, and I collected a lot of them, and my grandmother often laughed at me, how could I love stinky beauty so much." She shook her head with a smile and continued, "Isn't all the little girl's fun here?" When I think about the mood at that time, my heart is full of joy. ”
As he spoke, he touched An Jin's head and said, "It's a pity that in the future today, she is the same age as you, and she will be able to become a good friend, and in this palace, she can also be accompanied by many people." But it's okay, I'll send her another day, and you can recognize it. ”
An Jin maintained a smile, the corners of her mouth twitched, the same age, a good friend, accompanied in this palace, mother, although she also likes children, but with a seven-year-old little county lord who is loved by thousands of people, the challenge is not ordinary.
And if there is no mistake in the evil training before entering the palace and her own brain supplement, Queen Xiang has always hoped to take the route of Concubine Zhao because her son has not been able to establish a prince, so she married the daughter of the Zhao family as the third princess. And the third princess has been hoping to send Jiang Xuan into Qingyou Palace for the past two years, and Concubine Zhao has a different look, but even if she secretly begged her grandmother, she couldn't get her wish.
She thought that the main object of the third prince's plot was her third sister, but she didn't expect that as soon as the words changed, she might also enter the pit.
An Jin's head was still spinning, with a cute look, Ruan Anji, who had not made a sound on one side, suddenly shook his head with a smile and said: "Niangniang, you don't know that my seventh sister is the most uneasy, not long ago I beat the daughter of the eldest princess's family, and then I also started with the cousin of the dealer before, fell into the water, and almost lost half my life." My mother had no choice, so she sent her to the palace to be disciplined by the concubine, but you don't know, she only entered the palace for less than half a day, and she asked the fifth princess for the jade pendant she borrowed from me, which scared me like something. Don't send the little county lord here again, if my seventh sister offends the little county lord, won't we have the face to see you, not to mention you, even the eldest aunt and grandmother don't know how to explain. ”
The matter of the daughter of the eldest princess of An Jin and the eldest princess of Yonghua is known to almost all the daughters of the official family in Kyoto, and she has also heard about the idea of the Zhuang family from her mother Guo, but this is a freshly baked jade pendant from the fifth princess, and the surprise at first glance overwhelms the obvious refusal in the words.
"Ask for a jade pendant?" The third princess asked, "When did the fifth princess borrow any jade pendant from you?" Why haven't I heard you mention it? The focus of her questioning was obviously on the matter of the fifth princess borrowing the jade pendant.
Ruan Anzheng has obviously prepared this question for a long time, there are many secrets in the palace, but sometimes there are no secrets at all. Instead of hiding it, it is better to say it generously, so as not to be splashed with sewage. Moreover, now that the jade pendant is in his hands, he is fearless. I am not afraid of imitation, because the jade pendant has some characteristics, and if it doesn't fit five pieces together, it can't be imitated. It's just that after this incident, I'm afraid that the jade pendant will never see the light of day. However, Ruan Anzheng smiled bitterly, he stole it back, but he couldn't see the light.
Ruan Anzheng smiled faintly and said: "It's not a big deal, the last time I came to the palace, the five princesses liked my Lianzhi Tongxin Pei, so they borrowed it to play with it and didn't return it, the jade pendant itself is not surprising, but the mother cut it from a piece of jade and put it on our five sisters, which means that our sisters are blind date, and the same branch is connected to each other." So when the seventh sister saw that I was missing the jade pendant, she knew that the fifth princess took it, and when she saw Her Royal Highness the fifth princess, she was stunned and looked for someone to ask for it, alas. ”
The three princesses were stunned when they heard this, she turned her face to look at An Jin, who was shy and bowed her head, and she didn't know what to say, this matter had to be investigated.
