Chapter 11: Misunderstanding
The surname "Mu", even if it can't talk about Qin Ke's taboo, it is tantamount to the scar in his heart, and it hurts to uncover it, which Qin Wan has already noticed. Because of this, in front of her parents, she never asked the Mu family. But deep down, she was curious about the so-called Queen Mu. Now that it's so easy to seize such an opportunity, how could Qin Wan miss it lightly? Seeing that Zhao Jiu was considering his words, Bacheng was thinking about how to fool herself, so she hurriedly asked, "What kind of family is the Mu family?" I heard Aya say that most of the noble families in the world are divided into families and nobles, what kind of Mu family is it? What kind of people are in their family? Isn't it amazing? โ
Although she is young, she speaks and does things in an orderly manner, asking questions one by one, clearly and clearly, Zhao Jiu is really a little overwhelmed, so she put away the general talk, perfunctory Qin Wan's heart, and responded equally seriously: "It is rumored that the first Zheng Guogong, that is, the first commander of our Northern Ya Army, is Taizu's milk brother, and Taizu grew up together, no matter what situation Taizu fell into, he always followed Taizu, and finally died in order to save Taizu, and he was the descendant of Taizu. Although his wife is the eldest princess of Ruyin, she is only the righteous sister of Taizu and has no blood relationship. Taizu was afraid that after his death, someone would take advantage of the situation to bully his family, so he gave his eldest daughter to Taizong, the biological mother of the saint, Empress Mingdemu, and vigorously promoted his three sons and another son-in-law. โ
Qin Wan folded his fingers and calculated, and probably understood the relationship, but he was still a little puzzled: "Hmm, what is a milk brother?" โ
Zhao Jiuwolf turned his face sideways and said embarrassedly: "This ...... It's a brother who grew up together and is closer than a brother! โ
Qin Wan glanced at him twice, silently wrote down this question, and then asked with a smile, "Then what?" โ
After the death of Zheng Guogong, the eldest son took the title, and the second son and the youngest son were also knighted because they were the sons of the princess. The second Duke Zheng Guo had four sons and one daughter, and the daughter was Empress Wendemu, who died four years ago. The eldest son is the current Zheng Guogong, the crown prince Taibao; The second son of the army made great achievements, was awarded the title of Wucheng County Duke, protected the capital of Anxi, guarded the Western Regions, and ensured the smooth trade road! Speaking of this famous general, with Zhao Jiu's calm self-control, he also showed a hint of fascination, and his longing and excitement could not be hidden, "A good man is born in the world, just like the prince of Wucheng, he should settle the country and make some achievements!" โ
Wu Cheng...... The county prince?
Aya said that there was a king of Wucheng in the Shang period, who was the younger brother of the king of Zhou, who held great power and was famous. But this person finally lowered the week, this title, isn't it...... Something strange?
Speaking of which......
"Where is Zheng Guogong's fiefdom?"
"Huh?" Isn't Zheng Di Zheng Di, and there are many more?
Seeing Zhao Jiu's doubts, Qin Wan tilted his head, stretched out his finger very seriously, and counted them to him one by one: "Xianlin, Xinzheng, Qifeng, Bing, Nanzheng, Xingyang, Nanyang...... So, which Zheng Di is it? โ
Hearing her report this series of names, Zhao Jiu was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Qin Wan thought that he didn't believe him, and hurriedly said: "King Xuan's brother and friend Feng Xianlin, called Zheng Guo, this is the origin of Zheng; Later, Zheng was destroyed by Han and built the capital Xinzheng; Zilu fled to Kaifeng, in order to remember his ancestors, with Zheng as his surname, so Kaifeng can also become Zheng Di. Bing was once handed over to the management of Zheng Guo by the Zhou royal family and garrisoned by the clan; Nam Zheng ...... Xingyang ...... Nanyang ......" she explained, burying her face a little frustrated.
Great grandfather, great grandfather, why do you want to get such a troublesome title, like what kind of acting king, Duke Qianguo, the eldest princess of Ruyin, you will know where the place is when you hear it, how trouble-free! The title of the Zhou royal family has always been such a headache, this place can, that place can. made her endorsement confused, and if she wasn't paying attention, she couldn't figure out where it was, and Aya explained for a long time before she roughly figured out the relationship!
Thinking of this, she was a little lost again.
Aya said that his previous title was Dai Wang, which was located in the northernmost part of Bactria and bordered by foreign races, not to mention bitter cold and poverty, and that he was sometimes harassed by foreign iron cavalry. Not only that, most of the uncles' titles were sealed by the Zhou royal family, but the titles of "Dai" were sealed by the Shang royal family...... Even though she doesn't quite understand the subtle meaning of this, she also knows that most of the etiquette in the world comes from Zhou etiquette, and even if the Zhou royal family has been destroyed for many years, it can be regarded as "orthodox". Therefore, it is not necessarily a good thing to have something to do with the "former dynasty".
Thinking about these things in his heart, Qin Wan's little face wrinkled, and he looked a little pretending to be an adult, which was very cute.
Zhao Jiu saw Qin Wan explain to himself the source, source, and story of these place names seriously, and he knew that it was not nonsense by looking at the posture, the problem was that the more he listened, the more confused he became, almost like listening to the book of heaven, he was entangled for a long time, and Fang said dejectedly: "Subordinate, I don't know." โ
He was born strong, he never fell behind in fighting with others, and because of his experience, he was calm and insightful, and he was very conceited in his heart, thinking that what he lacked was just an opportunity to soar. For those literati who are powerless and cannot be calm in case of trouble, Zhao Jiu looks down on them. Now seeing that Qin Wan is young, and the questions he asks are not tricky and weird, he can actually ask himself, so as not to give birth to a little wolf bรจi, he feels that there is too little ink in his abdomen, and he has not seen enough capable people, so he will be so arrogant and can't figure out his own catties.
Seeing Zhao Jiu's expression, Qin Wan tilted his head, a little strange.
Hey? Why did Zhao Jiulang suddenly feel like he was out of breath? Did I say something wrong?
Obviously, when it comes to "learning", both of them have misunderstood.
Acting Wang Qin Ke read a lot of books and was well-read, but because he was afraid of Queen Mu's power, he was afraid that others would think that he would also fight for the chair, because he never dared to show his knowledge in the subset of scriptures and history, and all kinds of miscellaneous books were easy to come by. In addition, he was instinctively a little afraid of his high-ranking father, and he was a little stumbling when answering questions, and most of the saints asked questions about people's livelihood and government affairs, but he would only read from the book and did not move at all. This leads him to be scolded by the saints more often and praised less. Over time, it left everyone with the impression that "although the acting king loves to dance and write, his own attainments are not particularly high, and he still does not do his job". In fact, Qin Ke has dabbled in so much and involved a wide range that few people can match, and there are thousands of books that he memorizes well, not to mention those articles and fragments that can be remembered after recalling. If he hadn't been the eldest son of this annoying emperor, he would have been born in a family of scholars for generations, and he would not have to be famous.
After being exiled to Peng Ze, Qin Ke was depressed in his heart, Shen Man did not allow him to go to the field, he was busy alone, taking care of housework and fields, and he couldn't help it, so he handed over his daughter to him to take with him. Qin Wan is also extremely intelligent, and he can't walk, so he can speak; I can't even hold a pen, and I can already memorize books. Qin Ke already loved his daughter like a treasure, and seeing that she was so talented, he couldn't bear to waste it, so he taught her to read every day, eager to teach what he had learned.
Peng Ze is deserted, the number of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is limited, money can't buy it, and there are not many clothes, so there is no way to change and wash frequently. Breaking branches and writing on the ground, before teaching his daughter to recognize a few, Qin Ke first reddened his eyes. In the end, Shen Man came up with a way - let Qin Ke teach Qin Wan to endorse first, memorize dozens of books, and know thousands of words. When she grew a little older, and her wrists had the strength to write, so that she would not get ink all over her hands, and then she began to paint red. In this way, the amount of the four treasures of the study is compressed to a minimum, so that life will not seem so embarrassing. This also caused Qin Wan to be at a young age, and he couldn't recognize the strange and complicated words, but he was able to memorize many obscure articles backwards.
This kind of devouring dates is purely out of helplessness, which is completely different from the education method of the family and the Great Confucian, which is not tired of learning and is not too much to talk about a thousand times, Zhao Jiu does not know the inside story, although he can see that Qin Ke teaches his daughter as a son, but he also understands that there are very few books in Pengze County. In his impression, he was already a very learned person who could memorize three or five books upside down. Seeing that Qin Wan was in a remote place, the conditions were difficult, and he had such knowledge and insight at a young age, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but think of many families that had been famous for generations. Take Qin Wanyi as a comparison, think about how learned the children of the family who are in the rich and noble township and the classics are hidden, and it is no wonder that with his pride, he will still be ashamed of himself. If he knew that the children of a family of the same age as Qin Wan had not really read many Analects, he would have been much more gratified.
Looking at Zhao Jiuyin's words, he was not in a good mood, Qin Wan thought about it, made a very interested look, and asked: "You just said that the second-generation Zheng Guogong has four sons and one daughter, but you only said two, what about the other two?" โ
"The other two ......" Zhao Jiu was disdainful in his heart, and his tone was also indifferent, "The sage gave him the title of county duke." โ
Sensing Zhao Jiu's coldness, Qin Wan was a little strange.
is also an official and a brother of the same mother, why is Zhao Jiu so different in his senses from Zheng Guogong's sons? Is it possible to achieve it, because the former is a knighthood for military merit, and the latter is a reward? That's right, the things you earn are naturally more stable than those given by others, and you feel more at ease when you hold them.
Qin Wan, who didn't know that there were two words in the world called "envy" and "jealousy", thought that he had found the reason for Zhao Jiuqing's change, and secretly wrote down this matter.
