Chapter 144: Showmanship

In the morning class, only Li Gang attended for half an hour, and the rest were attended by Yu Shinan.

The reason why Confucianism is Confucianism lies in their knowledge. Often, just by talking about the Analects, they can draw out a lot of stories.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the Two Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms Wei and Jin Dynasties, whether it is the official history or the wild history, they can always make one or two jokes. At this time, learned people were basically qualified for the title of "historian".

At the end of the morning class, it is time for the lunch break.

The gentlemen, who had not eaten since they had woken up in the morning, had to stick to the table as if they had been spilled all morning. However, as soon as he heard Li Chengqian say that it was time to eat, those who had become slimes immediately jumped up.

When the Chongwen Museum was founded, Li Chengqian also participated in the planning of the design drawings. The front side is a classroom on the sunny side, and the back side is a cafeteria and office.

With so many people's food, it was really difficult for him to let the chef of the East Palace make it alone. Therefore, yesterday, Li Chengqian asked the imperial dining room for a few cooks to be responsible for the food of these sons.

When I opened the cafeteria door, I could smell a strong fragrance.

At this time, no one cared about the superiority and humility, Cheng Chuhei and Yu Chi Baolin, crossed the prince, and rushed to the counter on the left like crazy. Because they saw that there was actually grilled lamb chops on it.

The eldest grandson Chong is considered to be personable, and after inviting the prince to sit down, he went over to choose a meal. Seeing several steamers smoking, I immediately decided to eat steamed cakes.

Not everyone is qualified to eat at the same table with the prince, except for Li Jinghuan, Niu Jianhu, Changsun Chong and Chai Zhewei, the rest of the people sat at other tables, and deliberately stayed away.

Li Chengqian found a few steamed buns, brought a bowl of egg drop soup, and sat down on the table.

Before he could move the chopsticks, a eunuch came over and firmly took out a knife to try the prince's buns.

Stuffing one into him, Li Chengqian said irritably: "It's all a big pot of food, and if there is a problem with one bowl, everyone will be unlucky." It's nice to eat one and taste it, bastard! ”

The eunuch naturally knew the prince's temper, ate a bun, and felt that there was nothing to do before retreating.

picked up a bun and took a bite, the eldest grandson snorted lightly, broke it open, and saw that it was full of mutton.

Mutton filling, even if it's his family, he doesn't eat it often!

"Cheng Qian, this steamed cake with mutton filling, thin skin and many fillings, it is really delicious, sure enough, your food in the East Palace is more special than other people's."

On the other side, Chai Zhewei, who had already stuffed the whole bun into his mouth, nodded again and again, whether it was the moon cakes of the Mid-Autumn Festival or the glutinous rice balls of Shangyuan, as long as it was eaten from the East Palace, it was extraordinarily delicious. I am used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but I still can't find a flaw in the food that comes out of the East Palace.

The same is true for steamed cakes, not to mention the thin skin and large filling, even this layer of crust is not much softer than other people's homes. Fastest update... / .. /

Sighing, Li Chengqian said to Changsun Chong seriously: "Steamed cakes, what are steamed cakes, this thing is called steamed buns, look at this shape, it looks like a cake!" ”

There are discrepancies in the terms of many things in ancient and modern times, and in order to make the bun return to its original name, Li Chengqian kicked the eunuchs of the East Palace and the cook in the kitchen. I don't know what these people think, as long as it is steamed in a pot and made of noodles, they all call it - what kind of cake.

The eldest grandson smiled at him, and immediately changed his words without kicking his buttocks: "Buns, buns, just call buns, Cheng Qian, you are steaming here.... Why are buns so much softer than others? My mother's mouth is not good, so I am the most suitable for this kind of food, and I will take some with me when I leave later. ”

Hearing what the eldest grandson Chong said, Li Chengqian immediately said solemnly: "Since it is for my uncle, when school is about to end, I will let the cook steam a new basket." Fang Zi is actually not very important, when you come tomorrow, bring your family's cook, let him learn. ”

When it comes to filial piety to the elders, it cannot be treated simply in any case.

It's just a noodle technique, and it's not a good thing.

Changsun Chong stood up and respectfully bowed his hand to Li Chengqian before sitting down again.

Lamb-stuffed meat buns, grilled lamb chops, and radish pickles, this is today's lunch.

However, these people were obviously carnivores, and they didn't eat much radish and pickles at all, and all the roasted lamb chops were eaten.

On the other side, Cheng Chusi was competing with Yu Chi Baolin to eat steamed buns. Their father often doesn't deal with each other in the court, and when he comes to his son, naturally no one obeys anyone.

The fist-sized buns, one bite at a time, a total of sixteen in two cages, were swallowed by them not long after.

Looking at the steamer in front of him, Li Chengqian was extremely embarrassed, emotional, and the whole canteen had a small appetite by himself. The rest basically started with three steamed buns.

A bunch of wine sacs .... No, a bunch of rice bags!

It is said that the generals of the ancients often ate a bucket of meat and ten catties, although there is an element of boasting, but seeing the appetite of these young people, you can deduce how big the appetite of their parents is.

Niu Jianhu has been more lively since he was fitted with prostheses, and the amount of food has also increased, and he saw that there was still a bun left in the prince's steamer, so he naturally sandwiched it into his bowl and ate it in two bites.

After a long time, after eating, he took out the class schedule and glanced at it, and Changsun Chong was surprised: "We still have time to take a nap?" That's great! It's just that if you go home at this time, you will waste a lot of time between going back and forth. ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly explained: "You don't need to go home, what do you think the second floor of the Chongwen Pavilion is for, there is your rest room, although it is just a simple floor, but it is also a coal stove, and it is not a problem to sleep." ”

Hearing that there was such a good thing, the few who ate slowly also quickly stuffed it into their mouths, chewing things and shouting to go upstairs.

Ordering the chamberlains of the East Palace to take them to their respective rooms, Li Chengqian did not go to rest, but came to Yu Shinan's office.

Unlike the students' simple lounge, Yu Shinan's office can be described as having everything you want. Even the bed for sleeping is a spring bed.

In the office, Yu Shinan was drinking tea with Li Gang, and when he saw the prince coming in, Yu Shinan stood up to greet him.

"Hehe, Mr. Yu, are you satisfied with Lone's arrangement?"

Yu Shinan said with a smile: "When His Majesty gave Lao Chen this task, Lao Chen thought it was a chore, but now that he looks at it, it is not too comfortable. Taishi Li just said that even Lao Chen can live in Chongwen Pavilion without going back and forth every day, but is it true? ”

Li Chengqian nodded: "It's true, I'm not an adult yet, let alone married, it's not a problem for some outsiders to live in the East Palace." How do you say that you are also sixty years old, it is not suitable to go back and forth, how good it is to live in Chongwen Hall, the kid covets your knowledge, if you visit three times a day, I hope you don't be surprised. ”

Yu Shinan and Li Gang glanced at each other, and then laughed.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of respecting teachers, the prince is far better than these gentlemen.

Li Gang beckoned and asked Li Chengqian to go over and sit.

After sitting down, he asked, "How do you feel with these children today?" ”

"I don't feel anything, except for finding out that none of them are living in vain, the rest of the personalities and the like, we need more time to get along with each other to know."

Li Gang nodded, very satisfied with Li Chengqian's prudence.

Since the emperor obviously had the idea of letting the crown prince see people in advance, he must cherish this opportunity.

At least for the time being, the previous generation of these people will basically not have rebels. In addition, most of them are heroes who have the merit of the dragon, and the possibility of their fall is very small.

The previous generation is in a strong position, and the next generation will not be too badly positioned.

In this way, the eldest sons of various national families began their painful and happy study life in the East Palace.

Time, in the blink of an eye, came to April.

After more than three months of getting along, Li Chengqian now has almost an understanding of the second generation of officials and the second generation of lords in the Tang Dynasty.

Eldest Sun Chong, the son of Eldest Sun Wuji, his cousin. Needless to say, martial arts are not bad, and the writing is not bad. The most annoying thing is that this bastard is quite handsome, especially when he laughs, it is even more of a plus.

It's just that, like his father, the eldest grandson Wuji, the expression you can see on his face is always only a faint smile and a big laugh. As for whether he greeted your parents in his heart while laughing, or planned to kill you, it is unknown.

There is nothing to say. Like his father Niu Jinda, he has always been very well-behaved and will not do anything out of the ordinary. However, because of the prosthesis, he prefers to stay with Li Chengqian.

Li Jinghuan, Li Xiaogong's eldest son, although this guy was a little stupid when he was learning knowledge, but the family martial arts are not watery at all, in terms of martial arts, although Changsun Chong and others can compete with him, but it must be him who wins in the end. The eldest son of the king of Hejian County, with this identity alone, he is second only to the three brothers of Li Chengqian in this class in Chongwen Pavilion, but he has never put on a stand with his identity, and he is very low-key.

Cheng Chuhei, Cheng Biting Jin's eldest son. Like his father Cheng Biting Jin, Cheng is very arrogant in everything. Although his casual appearance is a bit annoying, when he is studying, although he is bored, he has never put down his homework. As for the fact that he didn't catch the horse lance in his hand and smashed the window, he would have dropped out of school if he poked it out, but when Yu Shinan asked, he stood up and admitted his mistake without thinking about it.

Everything is above board, this is probably the family motto of the old Cheng family. In fact, honest people, everyone likes. Cheng Yanjin never hid his joy and anger in the court, and when the reward was less, he complained to the emperor in court not once or twice. But the result? With the holy grace not lost, his position has become more and more stable. Cheng Shihei is the same, Yu Shinan appreciates his courage to admit it, but orders him to go home to get the money and repair the window at his own expense.

Yu Chi Baolin, the eldest son of Yu Chi Gong. It is said that the son inherits his father's business, but Yu Chi Baolin is not like his father, he is one of the people who study the most seriously. No matter what he does, he is extremely serious.

Yu Shinan once said that anyone who has not learned anything can come to his office during the lunch break and ask.

Later generations of teachers basically put this sentence on their lips, but there are very few who really ask questions. Yu Chi Baolin is different, after Yu Shinan spoke, he would go to the office almost every day at noon to ask, which made Lao Yu Tou happy and helpless.

Liu Renshi, Liu Hongji's eldest son. This guy is just as as his father. It stands to reason that everyone is a gentleman, and the prince is just a royal gentleman. What's the matter, if you don't make some lace news, can you still call it a gentleman? In addition to studying hard, the eldest sons of other families want to make contributions immediately, or enter the court to do some great political achievements. Only this bastard actually took a fancy to the palace maid of the East Palace-Lily.

The royal family rewarded the palace maids to the nobles, which has become a traditional thing, not to mention that the nobles change concubines and maids on weekdays, and I don't know how many people have become an alliance of cave exploration enthusiasts. Liu Renshi thought that it was nothing to ask the prince for a palace maid, but what greeted him was Li Chengqian's big foot.

....

Three months is enough time to have a preliminary understanding of a person, and Li Chengqian found that these eldest sons were more or less influenced by their parents. Appearance, personality, habits, way of speaking, and code of conduct are almost as if they were carved out of a mold. The family education of a large family is like a data transfer, and it is easy to copy the next generation into the previous generation.

Today is the spring ploughing ceremony, and Li Chengqian, who is already nine years old, has to change into linen clothes, take off his shoes, and lead cattle barefoot this year.

Since the year of Wude, the ploughing of the Son of Heaven has been the top priority in the court. He didn't participate in the previous year, but he officially participated this year, so he realized how fake this show was.

He led the ox in front, and the emperor's father held the plow, making zigzag furrows in the field.

Then there is the queen lady who sprinkles seeds, and finally Li Tai who cultivates the soil.

The crown prince petuniage, the emperor plough, the queen sowing, the prince cultivating the soil, the standard royal ploughing lineup.

Just look at the furrows that Master Li Shimin has come up with, then look at the sowing of seeds before the eldest grandson, and finally look at Li Tai's left and right soil, so it is strange to be able to plant good land.

In the pro-ploughing ceremony, it is not only the emperor who cultivates the land, but also the ministers of civil and military affairs have their own piece of land, and the higher the status, the bigger the land.

How many can there be if they are really from a farming family? Therefore, the miserable situation in other lands is no worse than that of the emperor.

Recalling the neat and neat crops in the fields during last year's autumn harvest ceremony, Li Chengqian was very suspicious, no, he was sure that someone must have taken over these lands, and he took care of them carefully for a whole year. Otherwise, such a random farming will definitely not have such beautiful and moving results.

Whether it is today or in the future, the same show!

sighed in his heart, feeling that the old cow had a tendency to turn to the right, Li Chengqian hurriedly pulled it and let it step on the edge of the ditch to move forward.

The last three shows are also shows, so Li Chengqian will not let his work become casual.
