Soft grinding and hard foaming, stalking, close-fitting short fighting...... Anyway, no matter how he fights, when Zhu Er came out of Yue Shanchang's courtyard, he was just full of energy and contented.

As for Yue Shanchang, although in the process of negotiation, he realized that he had fallen for Zhu Er's big deal, but in front of a noble prince who was humble and sincere and shameless to ask, he couldn't shirk it.

In other words, he can shirk it elsewhere, and he can't shirk it at all when the emperor deliberately set aside them and place them as the four mountain chiefs. Because there may be eyes and ears sent by the emperor here to secretly observe the words and deeds of the four of them, and there may be eyes and ears sent by the other three mountain chiefs to investigate. What's more, when he saw Zhu Er, he happened to bring two students to accompany him!

His original purpose was to let the students know that these noble children in the capital did not learn and had no skills, in fact, they were not afraid, but Zhu Er proposed to ask him to recommend the students, if he could effectively promote the good varieties and excellent varieties in Cangzhou, so as to make the fields abundant, then he would definitely recommend the corresponding people to the imperial court, and even be willing to set up words as a basis, he knew that he had miscalculated.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Er left, he saw the unconcealable expectant expressions of the two students he had recommended.

Although Zhaoming Academy is inevitably dominated by the imperial examination, the difficulty of the Jinshi examination is not the case in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the case today. Don't look at those Jinshi who are twenty or thirty years old and have a good demeanor and outstanding appearance, but there are more people who are only in their forties and fifties!

Even though Zhaoming Academy has a long reputation in Guangdong, it does not mean that the students of Zhaoming Academy have booked a Jinshi place. If this is the case, Zhaoming Academy doesn't know how many verbal and written criticisms it will receive.

And the few students brought by Yue Shanchang this time, except for Fang Qing, a young man who became famous, most of the rest were people who had stumbled in a few subjects, and there were even unlucky ghosts who didn't even lift people and failed several township tests, how could he stop their way forward? Don't look at the Zhaoming Academy, some of them are in the court, and even the seniors whose official positions are already very high, but it is impossible to bring people with them to teach by example.

Because it's a taboo!

So, Yue Shanchang could only suppress his sigh in his heart, and said to them earnestly: "Children of such wealthy families, you must not take his humble appearance seriously, be careful in everything, do not seek merit, but seek no fault, otherwise if something happens in the future, he throws you out as a scapegoat, then it will be really worrying......

However, while Yue Shanchang was instilling the idea of moderation in the students, Zhu Er, who was full of ambition, walked out while thinking about another thing that Zhang Shou had told him last night.

"As a child of Guijie, don't take it for granted to be rebellious or even arrogant - of course, if you want to learn from a domineering son like Zhang Chen, it doesn't matter. You treat the same or even slightly lower sons and buddies more arrogantly, which can highlight your identity; As for those people, they will be polite and polite, which will appear to be wealthy and not arrogant, and others will have a better impression of the Zhu family. ”

"As for dealing with those who have the talent, the ability and the means, you need to show full sincerity and patience, and make people feel that you are a master who can assist...... Of course, this method has little effect on those old oilers who don't keep their hands, but it is very effective for young people who are just starting out, or middle-aged people who have been weathered and gone through hardships. ”

Although Zhu Er almost didn't think that Zhang Shou had bad intentions when he heard the word Ming Lord at first glance, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he understood that this so-called Ming Master, Zhang Shou was referring to recruiting staff as the owner.

He never thought that one day he would be able to recruit staff like his father! You must know that his eldest brother Zhu Tingfang has made such a great contribution, and now it is said that he is going to be promoted to the third grade, and there is no staff yet!

Zhu Er, who was smirking all the way, didn't care about looking at the road at all, until he suddenly heard a burst of talking, and when he looked up, he found that a group of people not far away seemed to be waiting for the car to go out. At the head was a dignified woman in a dark green dress, with a slender figure, followed by two elderly servants, and a young boy as a servant.

If it were those who adhered to the etiquette law, they would definitely retract their gaze at this time, but Zhu Erke had never been a gentleman who abided by etiquette. So, instead of taking advantage of the situation to look elsewhere, he simply looked up at the other party's face. It just so happened that the woman also looked sideways at him, and when these four eyes met, he was immediately disappointed.

I saw that this woman's appearance was extremely ordinary, and she couldn't even match the ordinary maids of the Zhao State Mansion. It's really blind to this good figure!

But Zhu Er just retracted his gaze as if nothing happened, and then came to his senses. How can there be a woman in this house? Could it be that the stubborn daughter of Hong Shanchang, who originally recommended herself and thought that she was suitable to be the princess of the Hong? He almost subconsciously raised his head again, but unfortunately, the woman who was not good-looking had already gotten into the car.

If it were other women, even if it was a heavenly immortal, Zhu Erxing, who had long been raised by his sister Zhu Ying, might have directly put his hand away, but the Hong family was different. He thought about it for a while, walked quickly to the door to meet Zhu Yi, and ordered to tiptoe up quietly.

As long as he thought that the Hong family was recommended to the emperor by the stubborn Hong Shanchang, what was worthy of the eldest prince, and then Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou even accompanied the queen mother to meet people, and the queen mother's picky temper would have a good impression of the Hong family, Zhu Er felt a burst of chest tightness, why did the three words always linger in his mind.

After all, he, Zhu Er, has never gotten any good looks in front of the Queen Mother, and his cousins and the like are the same!

Even if the Queen Mother didn't directly allow the invitation of Chief Hongshan, the princess who was being treated with five grades was not bad, but he didn't have it yet!

Zhu Yi is not Zhu Er's private person, if the second young master just took him and the others to follow the daughter of other people's families, he would definitely stop it immediately, but when he heard that it was the Hong family, not only did he not say a word, but also quietly ordered another guard to follow the path, so as not to lose people like this.

However, when they crept through the streets and alleys with Hong's carriage and horses from a distance, and finally stopped, they looked up and saw the plaque hanging in front of the tall building not far away, from Zhu Er to Zhu Yi to a few entourage guards, everyone looked strange for a while.

If it weren't for the driver who drove for the Hong family, I don't know if he didn't recognize the road, or if he simply took a detour and took them around the capital for a circle, they would have realized what kind of place this was. Isn't this the Yuehua Building where Princess Yongping presides over the Wenhui once a month on weekdays? Could it be that the Hong family came out today to meet the arrogant and cold golden branch and jade leaf?

"Let's go, let's go." Zhu Er, who was in a hurry, waved his hand angrily, only wishing that he didn't have the intention of taking this trip for a while. Although he avoided walking when he saw the queen mother since he was a child, he was not very afraid when he saw the emperor, because the emperor, who was also quite naughty when he was a child, was still a little tolerant of him. And Concubine Yu, who has a very good relationship with her stepmother, although she doesn't see it much, she will smile at him as long as she sees it.

Only Princess Yongping, every time I saw him, her disgusted expression was not concealed at all. Don't talk about him, even in front of her eldest brother, that girl is as cold as ice, and she has not gotten along with Zhu Ying since she was a child. There are still good people in the capital who say that Zhu Ying is the brilliant sun, and Princess Yongping is the bright moon, but in his opinion, the bullshit moon is pure hypocrisy!

It's still his sister, laugh when you laugh, cry when you cry, and never pretend to die there!

A private seat by the window on the second floor of Yuehua Building, seeing Zhu Er not far downstairs spit on the ground, then turned his horse and left, and several other guards also followed, the number of the master and servant and the number of people who went to Yashe to see Yue Shan Chang also coincided, Hong Shi breathed a sigh of relief slightly, thinking that he had picked this place to meet people, and he really picked the right one.

Zhu Er didn't notice her when she went to look for Yue Shanchang in Yashe, but she saw the back of the person, and she used to look back from the small window on the back of the carriage in the middle of the road, and when she found that Zhu Er was following her, where would she not think about it?

After waiting for a while, Hong only heard a gentle cough outside the door, and the curtain was lifted high, followed by a masculine man walking in with his hands behind his back. At first glance, she saw a man in his early forties, with a tiger's back and a bee's waist, and his appearance was extraordinary, like a general charging into battle. Although she was puzzled, she still stood up for the first time.

After looking him up and down, the visitor bowed his head slightly and said, "Lady Hong, when we meet for the first time, I am Chu Kuan." ”

Even though Hong guessed that the person who came in first might have something to do with the celebrant who quietly invited her, she couldn't help but be taken aback when she actually reported her home.

She thought that Chu Kuan would send someone to meet her, but she didn't expect that someone would come in person!

Not only that, but at first glance, it was hard for her to believe that this was the first trusted minister in front of the Son of Heaven in this dynasty with the fewest eunuchs! Is it because he doesn't look like a eunuch at all that he will be trusted by the emperor?

After being surprised, the Hong family immediately got up and said, "I didn't expect Gonggong Chu to come in person, the concubine is really frightened." If the princess of Chu wants to conspire with great things, the Manchu Dynasty has talents, how could he mistake the concubine for a woman? If you don't think about it, no one will joke like this, and the concubine almost won't dare to come today. ”

"Hehe, I'm glad you came, otherwise I would have mistaken you."

Chu Kuan sat down unhurriedly, and then looked at the Hong family for a moment, and saw that the person was still calm under his bold and explicit gaze, so he nodded and said: "Sure enough, just as the Queen Mother sighed in private, if you really have unparalleled beauty, then this princess is definitely you." After all, the eldest prince is both a family member and a beauty. ”

Hong Shi took a breath lightly, and didn't feel that Chu Kuan's words were offensive, because since she was a child, she had long been criticized for her too ordinary appearance.

Especially when she sang poetry for the first time, her father was quite appreciative, but the servant woman secretly told her that those students whose father was quite proud and Xu was a pillar of talent were privately regretted that she was really not good-looking, otherwise they would definitely compete to marry such a beautiful woman with both talents and appearances.

At that time, she scoffed in her heart. These guys who didn't even get into the Jinshi and couldn't talk about their skills, impassionedly pointed out the world, and when they evaluated beautiful women, did they think that how could real beautiful women look at them frivolous and shallow? The material of the pillars...... Is it bullshit that speaks big?

At this time, she calmed down for a moment, and then said calmly: "Father has this thought, and as a daughter, the concubine naturally can't go against his wishes." As for whether the eldest prince likes it or not...... Don't all the people in the world say, the life of parents, the words of matchmakers? But now that this matter has been done, didn't the Queen Mother give the concubine a silk silk and make the concubine serve Princess Yongping? ”

"Of course, the princess has already made a clear order, but as long as you are really willing, you can be the eldest princess. Moreover, you don't even have to go to Zongzheng Temple to accompany the great prince who has no hope every day, I can separate you. With the title of the eldest princess, if you want to preside over the female school, you can naturally take over from Princess Yongping. ”

Chu Kuan said it lightly, but when Hong listened to it, he only felt that it was like a stormy wave.

What kind of character is the current emperor, Chu Kuan means that he can hide from the sky and the sea, and turn the rain and clouds?

Although there was a voice in her heart desperately bewitching her that she should agree, Hong still turned his heart sideways and said without humility or arrogance: "Father-in-law Chu is very loving, and the concubine is really grateful and afraid. However, this matter should have come from the upper judge, but the concubine did not dare to accept such kindness. Moreover, the princess is known to everyone in the capital, and although the concubine has never seen her, she will not secretly calculate her. ”

Chu Kuan's face sank, and his eyes turned sharp, but he stared at Hong's eyes for a long time, but he didn't see cowardice on the other party's face, only calm like a pool of stagnant water, and he couldn't help but secretly marvel. After examining it, he smiled and said: "It seems that I underestimated you, in the end, you are a talented woman who has read poetry and books and has a furrow in her chest, and I just took back those words." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and sat down happily, and then raised his hand to signal Hong to sit too, and then slapped his face gently. After a while, there were two low-eyed and pleasing little servants outside holding up a wooden plate and sending a few delicate refreshments and a pot of fragrant tea.

After personally pouring a cup of tea for the Hong family and pouring it for himself, Chu Kuan said bluntly: "The matter of female learning is deviant, but it has happened in the Taizu years, I can find out the edict of Grandpa Taizu from the ancient and modern Tongji library, as a legal basis, but you have to be psychologically prepared, Princess Yongping is not easy to get along with." ”

At the end of the point, Chu Kuan instantly skipped this topic. He raised his glass and took a sip of tea, and then said lightly: "Although the third prince and the fourth prince are very interested in arithmetic now, they can't neglect other subjects. Hong Niangzi, do you think you have any subjects that you are good at to teach those two princes? ”

If the Hong family had determined that Chu Kuan had only thrown out a poisonous incense bait at the beginning, and once he agreed, he would be doomed, then at this time, in the face of such a fragrant bait thrown again, she couldn't help but be moved. She doesn't care about the name of the prince, but if she can influence the future Son of Heaven, it is simply more ideal than all the previous plans!
