Chapter 591: Another way to play Keju
Hearing Xie Duo talk about Yan Weizhong, Shen Xi thought to himself: "The powerful minister Yan Song, I have some communication with him, but I am far from being familiar with him. Xiao Yan didn't get the Jinshi exam last year, and now he is still a student in Taixue, and he is still far from his extremely popular minister. ”
Yan Song left the impression on Shen Xi that this person looked honest, but he was impulsive and irritable, but he was very good at observing words and flattering people, and he looked like a diligent and studious good man. Perhaps it was his kind appearance that made Mr. preconceived that he was a good student, and therefore appreciated by Xie Duo.
Shen Xi nodded and said, "During the period of entering Guozi School, the student had discussed knowledge with him, and this person has learned something. "The implication is that the character is not very good.
Xie Duo didn't hear the deep meaning of Shen Xi's words, and nodded with a smile: "It's rare to have such a talent in Taixue, which is much better than Nanyong's students." ”
Xie Duo is now the Guozi priest of Beiyong, and he was also a Nanyong sacrificial wine before, of course, he will compare the students of Nanyong and Nanyong.
Theoretically speaking, Nan Zhili's education level is ahead of the country, so the quality of Nanyong's students should be higher, but because Nanyong is not at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is filled with more shade prisons and routine supervisors, coupled with the impetuousness of learning in the bustling Jiangnan, and the study is not so rigorous, which makes Xie Duo feel that Nanyong is mixed.
Beiyong has Taixue as a benchmark, and the ordinary supervisors of Guozixue naturally can't compare with the students of Taixue, first of all, their starting points are different, and the Taixue students are all people who have passed the township test, and they belong to the heroes who have fought a bloody road in the thousands of troops.
The day after Shen Xi sent Xie Duo away, He Mengchun came to Shen Xi early in the morning to tell Shen Xi about the details of the book.
After obtaining Shen Xi's consent, Xie Duo's efficiency was amazing, and he directly found someone to prepare for the printing without the slightest delay.
Shen Xi and the great writer of the Ming Dynasty He Mengchun met in this situation, although He Mengchun entered the officialdom earlier than Shen Xi, but in fact, He Mengchun is not very old, He Mengchun was nineteen years old in the Jinshi, and now he is only twenty-six years old.
He Mengchun was very respectful to Xie Duo in his words, and said that Xie Duo would sort out the prefaces and relevant comments made by the other Confucians in the next two days and officially publish them.
Shen Xi heard this, Xie Duo didn't plan to let himself pay, and everything was just his own hands.
Shen Xi felt a little uncomfortable, so he quickly took the silver and He Mengchun and asked him to bring it back to print books, but He Mengchun refused to accept it.
“…… It's not good to explain to Xie Lao's sacrificial wine. ”
He Mengchun obeyed Xie Duo's words and did not accept Shen Xi's kindness.
Shen Xi thought to himself that Xie Duo's publication of the book this time would not bring him a penny of profit, because after the book was printed, it was given to those court officials and celebrities to comment on and collect, if Xie Duo was allowed to spend so much, he didn't know how to repay it.
Turning back to Xie Yun'er, Xie Yun'er smiled and said: "Mr. Xie is full of fists, why should the prince be embarrassed?" Wouldn't it be nice to send more gifts later? ”
Shen Xi sighed: "As a court official, it is not appropriate to give gifts to each other, at the beginning, I sent Ning'er to serve him, mainly because Xie Shifu was not in the court, and now I give gifts, even if he is accepted by the old man, it will stain his reputation, which is really not advisable." ”
Shen Xi thought about it, the best way now is to secretly buy the printing workshop that publishes books for Xie Duo, find the shopkeeper, and discuss that his own money will be paid, Xie Duo's side is just a symbolic charge, anyway, Xie Duo doesn't know much about how much money it costs to print books.
However, since the money has been spent, you have to think about how to recover the capital, maybe you can go back to the bookseller in the capital to see if you can sell "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", so that Xie Duo may not be able to make a fortune.
After all, "Reading Wei Caotang Notes" is a collection of stories and academics, and has a high collection value, this kind of book is not very liked by the general peddler's pawns, but the reader can appreciate the strange story at the same time, but also learn from it, there should be a certain market.
After Shen Xi became an official, he hadn't been involved in business for a long time, and now he suddenly had to worry about publishing books, and he felt a little powerless for a while.
Fortunately, Shen Xi helped Hui Niang in business, had rich experience, sent people out to contact, and it didn't take long to complete the matter of publishing the book, so that even if Xie Duo published the book, it would not cost too much silver, which was worthy of the old man's hard work.
……
……
After two days of rest, Shen Xi returned to the Zhan Mansion to do business.
Although he was promoted to one level, he was still an official in the East Palace, so even if he was now a right advisor, his task was still to teach in the East Palace.
As for the administration in Zhan Shifu, he can ask about it, but he doesn't want to be too deeply involved, so it's best to stay away.
On the ninth day of the sixth month, Shen Xi went to the East Palace to give the crown prince his first lesson after returning to Beijing.
Without the lecturer Wang Wei, there was no new lecturer in the East Palace, and the number of lecturers remained at eight, and the original content taught by Wang Wei was handed over to others, and Shen Xi just took back his original errand and continued to teach the prince the twenty-first history.
In Shen Xi's previous classes, he could teach a history book in general terms at a time, but he could let others teach a book for three or five months, until the prince memorized the content of the history book almost according to the book.
"Huh?"
On this day, Zhu Houzhao yawned and went to the apse of the Chufang Hall to attend class, and suddenly saw that the face of the lecturer was not the one he was familiar with before, and after a closer look, he recognized it as Shen Xi, and immediately grinned, "Isn't this Shen Xi?" Hey, it's back again? ”
Just like an old friend greeting him, Zhu Houzhao obviously welcomed Shen Xi's arrival.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao still doesn't like the content of Shen Xi's lectures very much, he is happy that Shen Xi is very knowledgeable and can teach him interesting things, just what Shen Xi said about Keju has made him play for almost a year, but he has not had the passion before for a long time, but it is also much more interesting than other things.
"Prince, you have to be serious in class, and quickly salute Mr."
Liu Jin ran in from the door, with a bright smile on his face, looking extremely respectful to Shen Xi, but in fact, when he looked at Shen Xi, his eyes were full of gloom and resentment.
When Shen Xi was in Quanzhou, he didn't let Liu Jin be greedy for silver, and this trip was very hard, and in the end he just let him return to the East Palace to serve as the attendant of the crown prince Zhu Houzhao, which made Liu Jin extremely angry. At first, he was also a little grateful to Shen Xi for repelling the Francophile and saving his life, but the gratitude of people with distorted psychology is only temporary, and only hatred will be remembered in his heart.
Perhaps it was Emperor Hongzhi's order, when Shen Xi came back to class, there was one more thing in each class, that is, the prince had to salute the speaker.
It is a Confucian tradition to respect teachers and respect the Tao, but it is very uncomfortable to let Zhu Houzhao, who is a bear child but also the heir to the Ming Dynasty, salute Mr. , but this time in the face of Shen Xi, he saluted seriously, and then sat down and said: "I heard that the people of the Song Dynasty are very powerful, Mr. Shen, you might as well talk about the History of the Song Dynasty today." ”
Zhu Houzhao played a clever trick and asked Shen Xi to tell "History of the Song Dynasty" as fake, and asked Shen Xi to teach him how to play Keju is true.
Shen Xi said: "As a student, the prince has no right to decide the content of your homework, what you are talking about today is the "Historical Records". ”
"The Chronicles? Is there a kemari in it? ”
Zhu Houzhao was a little impatient when he heard this, it was rare for Shen Xi to come back, he wanted Shen Xi to teach him how to play, now it's good, Shen Xi wants to talk about the "Historical Records" that has nothing to do with playing, and he doesn't care about what books, families, biographies, etc., he immediately turned on his face, and just wanted Shen Xi to get acquainted with each other...... Even if there's no Kemari in it, you'd better talk about Kemari because that's what I love to hear.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no juju in the "Historical Records". Shen Xi replied with a straight face.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Shen Xi with some annoyance, but he had just been beaten by his father for not listening to the class honestly, and at this time he still knew that he couldn't be rude to Mr., so he had to listen to Shen Xi's lecture patiently, but before Shen Xi was halfway through his lecture, the person was already asleep.
"Prince, the lesson is not over yet."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt a pain in his head, raised his head after waking up, looked around in confusion, and saw the little eunuch behind him who was fanning him snickering, touched his head, Huo Ran stood up: "Who hit my head?" ”
Liu Jin's gaze suddenly fell on Shen Xi, Zhu Houzhao glared at Shen Xi who was standing in front of him, and asked, "Mr. Shen, why did you hit the head of the palace?" ”
Shen Xi said: "The prince doesn't listen carefully, meets with Zhou Gong in class, and doesn't wake up, how can he be a teacher?" ”
"Who is Zhou Gong, let him come out, I want to teach him a good lesson!" Zhu Houzhao said angrily.
Shen Xi thought that after half a year, Zhu Houzhao's personality would be a little calmer, who knew that it would still be the same stubborn old look at the beginning.
Shen Xi returned to the lecture and continued to lecture on his class, while Zhu Houzhao lost his sleepiness because of this trouble.
The two teachers and students were so bored until noon, Shen Xi was going to eat in the side hall, and Zhu Houzhao was also going back to the palace to take a lunch break after dinner, but he saw Zhu Houzhao ask someone to take out a kick and kick it to Shen Xi.
Maybe it was because of the long-term training, even if the distance was a little far, Zhu Houzhao could kick it over accurately, but Shen Xi easily avoided it and picked up the juju on the ground.
"Has the prince tried to compete between two teams?" Shen Xi asked.
Zhu Houzhao glared at Shen Xi, I asked you to talk about Juju in class, but what did you tell me about "Historical Records", you don't give me face so much, why should I answer your question? But Zhu Houzhao didn't understand Shen Xi's intention to ask, so he said coldly: "What to try?" See who can play accurately? If you have the ability, try it with me, it's not as good as me! ”
Shen Xi didn't speak, but put Keju on the ground, and kicked towards the table next to Zhu Houzhao, Keju was impartial, just passing under the table, Shen Xi asked, "Why didn't the prince catch it?" ”
"You're kicking so fast, how can I take it?" Zhu Houzhao picked up Keju back dissatisfiedly, kicked it again, but this time he was firmly grasped by Shen Xi.
Zhu Houzhao shouted, "You are cheating, where is the kicking of the juju?" ”
Shen Xi said: "I am a goalkeeper, of course I can use my hands." ”
"Goalkeeper?"
Zhu Houzhao is quite unfamiliar with this term.
Shen Xi said: "If the two sides compete, you can set the goal on both sides of the field, play against each other, kick the opponent's goal more to win, except for the goalkeeper, no one else can use hands, the two sides compete with each other, shall not be violated by force, can set up an intermediary as the referee, with the referee to decide the dispute between the two sides." A game is limited to one stick of incense. ”
Shen Xi's gameplay made Zhu Houzhao stunned.
"Grandpa Liu!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly shouted.
"Hey, His Royal Highness the Prince, what's the matter with calling slaves and maids?"
Liu Jin hurriedly ran over, he had already realized that Shen Xi's words had moved the little master again, and at this time, it was the time when the people below were busy.
Zhu Houzhao shouted: "According to what Mr. Shen said, hurry up and prepare for me, I want to compete with others to see who shoots the goal more!" ”
Liu Jin said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, it's noon, it's the sun outside, if you want to play, wait until you have lunch, and then go after resting and waiting for the sun to set and cool down." ”
"No way!"
If the bear child wants to play, whether it is windy, rainy or sunny, it can't stop him.
Liu Jin was forced to be helpless, so he could only call a few little eunuchs who usually accompanied Zhu Houzhao to come over and divide them into two teams.
"It's up to the minister, let's be the referee first, so that the prince can understand the rules." Shen Xi bowed.
