Seeing this, Chao Yu leaned sideways and whispered in Li Ruoxue's ear: "Uncle Li is really strict. ”

The two sisters were grinding their ears and temples, Li Ruoxue's face was slightly red, and she glanced sideways. In her heart, she didn't blame her father for being strict.

If it was in the Song Kingdom in the past, there would be nothing if I didn't read the scriptures. But the world is very different today. In Kanto, there are not only Huang Zhoushan, Lu Yunsun and other elders who are still writing books and sayings, but also rising stars such as Zhao Xingde, Zhu Sen, Su Tongfu, Jin Hongfu, Wu Zilong, He Fang, etc., are not far behind in the slightest. Almost every few months, a refreshing doctrine of sūtra comes to Kanto.

The reason for this is that because the imperial examination was canceled in Kanto, the state school and the study of politics have become a tool for power and profit, and everything has advantages and disadvantages, the chaos of the state school has led to a great reduction in the imperial court's clamping on the theory of scripture, coupled with the turmoil of the country, Huang Zhoushan, Zhao Xingde, Jin Hongfu and others have made arguments on the impact of the study of scriptures, so all kinds of characters and theories have appeared, as long as the commentators can justify themselves, there is often no lack of followers, and even can become a family of their own. Since the Han Dynasty, there has never been such a famous master, which makes people feel dizzying, and some people even compare it with the "hundred schools of thought" in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Not only scholars are enthusiastic, but scholars also participate in the debates of various families with great enthusiasm. In the Song Kingdom, whether it is official or private, it has become common to talk about scriptures, second only to the current politics of the military state, and it would be a great shame for a scholar to know nothing about the current popular topics.

Although Li Ruoxue is a bachelor who teaches poetry, since she holds a banquet and lectures in the bachelor's mansion, it is inevitable that she will encounter occasions where colleagues discuss scriptures. As soon as I saw people mention scriptures, I avoided it, which was not Li Ruoxue's style. At least know a rough idea of the most popular scripture problem at the moment, otherwise, not only will she have no face, but people with ulterior motives may also use it to slander Zhao Xingde, so although she doesn't like scripture in her heart, she will still try to read some articles by famous scripture masters. Kanto's scripture articles are vast, but fortunately, Li Gefei has made a range selection in advance, and Li Ruoxue does not need to spend too much energy on this.

"If someone in the Bachelor's Mansion argues with you, when General Zhao returns from the expedition, he will settle accounts with them one by one."

"Oh, I was wrong, could it be that you are not satisfied with Zhao Yuanzhi's attainments in scripture and want to compete with him?"

After withdrawing from the two elders, Chao Yu and Li Ruoxue returned to the study together, picked up the latest volume of "Donglin Anthology" on the bookshelf, and saw that it was sketched and drawn, and it seemed that the owner had read it carefully, and he also made a serious eyebrow criticism. Chao Yu laughed at her twice, seeing that she ignored her silently, and she was not angry, she hugged Li Ruoxue's shaved shoulders, held her soft hair, and laughed in a low voice: "Since you don't like it, why bother yourself, don't be depressed and panic when you look at such boring things." Come, let my sister see, what a Peugeot beauty, it's really pitiful. "Shuzhong because there has been no war for a hundred years, the people are rich, and the atmosphere is much more open than that of Kanto, Chao Yu has been in Shuzhong for many years and is also deeply infected, from Shuzhong to Guanzhong, this way, and lived in Li Mansion for more than half a month, and gradually relieved the pain of his dead father. The two sisters got along, but she teased Li Ruoxue more.

"Who's going to compare with him." Li Ruoxue pulled out her hand and snatched the anthology, "I'm talking nonsense again." ”

She hung her head, but her cheeks were faintly feverish. Chao Yu's unintentional words happened to hit her heart.

In the eyes of others, Li Ruoxue is a talented woman of a generation, and she is ashamed of her eyebrows. However, in terms of scripture and art, Zhao Xingde is already a generation of grandmasters, and there are not many scholars in the north and south of the river who are his private disciples. In terms of meritorious service, Zhao Xingde held the heavy responsibility of the two countries, played a pivotal role between the Song and Xia Kingdoms, and was deeply respected in the Kanto and Kansai regions, so that there was an unprecedented thing that others were not in Luoyang, but were elected by the people of Luoyang as the protector of the Shangzhu State. Therefore, even in the Bachelor's Mansion, Li Ruoxue is also honored as "Mrs. Zhao", not "Little Bachelor Li", and I don't know how many people have praised Zhao Xingde in front of Li Ruoxue.

However, when the couple had a falling out, Zhao Xingde's great reputation in turn added a lot of pressure to Li Ruoxueping.

After Zhao Xingde became famous, especially after making meritorious contributions with martial arts, Li Ruoxue had great worries.

From the Han and Tang dynasties to the Song Dynasty, most of the military generals who made great achievements were widely recruited wives and concubines, that is, between the wives of sergeants, and often talked about men who went out to fight and might look for flowers and willows. Zhao Xingde has been alone all the year round, and Li Ruoxue is very worried about this, and she keeps hinting that she maintains this confidence in him. The appearance of Han Ningshuang and Zhao Huan gave Li Ruoxue a great blow, how much she trusted Zhao Xingde in the past, how big the blow in her heart was. At first, she also persuaded herself to accept Han Ningshuang to share a man with her. However, when she was on her way to the Kanto region for reunion, she heard that after Zhao Xingde accepted Zhao Huan as his wife, her fragile heartstrings could no longer be stretched, and she broke it suddenly, and immediately returned to Luoyang.

However, when the Empress of Xia made it clear that she supported Li Ruoxue and the princess of Song to fight against each other, those scholars who were committed to Song began to openly and secretly accuse Li Ruoxue of ignoring the overall situation and making Zhao Xingde unable to return to Song. If it weren't for the fact that Li Ruoxue herself was a bachelor of the academy and had a podium for critics' articles, Li Gefei would have both prestige in Confucianism, and almost someone would have publicly accused her.

These rumors reached Li Ruoxue's ears, although she was not angry with Zhao Xingde, but she always had some grievances in her heart. As a woman, she can't prove that she is not inferior to Zhao Xingde on the battlefield like Hua Mulan in Yuefu Ci and Princess Pingyang in the Tang Dynasty, but in literary affairs, whether it is poetry or scripture, she does not want to be inferior to Zhao Xingde. For this reason, Li Ruoxue's studies are much harder than ordinary bachelors, many scholars were very disdainful of a woman in the bachelor's mansion at first, and after dealing with Li Ruoxue a few times, they had to be convinced, knowing that she not only has a father who is highly respected, but also a very powerful husband.

With the passage of time, although the trauma gradually subsided, Li Ruoxue was always difficult to truly let go and forgive.

Seeing her holding her cheeks, Chao Yu didn't know where to go, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, and said with a smile: "What do you want?" She stood up and stretched, "If you keep being distracted like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back to your senses until dark." If it's too late, it's too late to prepare dinner for the kids. "After Chao Yu married into the Su family, she has always been a young grandmother, and she lives a life where her hands don't get wet. When Li Ruoxue was in Dunhuang, she had always taken care of the housework by herself, and until now she has also cooked for the children by herself. She has a good heart and cooking skills, but there are very few people who are lucky enough to taste it. After Chao Yu tasted Li Ruoxue's craftsmanship in Zhao Mansion, he was immediately shocked, and he always found various reasons to eat the food made by Li Ruoxue herself.

She thought about it carefully, Li Ruoxue was naturally clear.

"Yong'er and Zhuo'er both went out with Lu Dutou." Li Ruoxue glanced at her, this sister is sometimes more innocent than a child, "Lu Dutou took them to the countryside and came back after eating." "Lu Dutou's name is Luda, he is the centurion of the Tiger Wing Army, and he is also the captain of the Zhao Mansion Guard, after Zhao Xingde became the general, the Tiger Wing Army protecting the Zhao Mansion increased from a team of ten to a team of 100 people. As for "take it out to play" Yunyun, it is Luda entrusted by the crown princess Zhang Caiwei, every time he governs the shade household, he will take Zhao Yong to see, and develop his quality as a sergeant since he was a child, Zhao Xingde is not in the mansion all the year round, if the sister-in-law of the dignified Southwest Navy General becomes a weak scholar, so that he can't inherit the title, the people of Anxi, Andong and Anbei Military Division will laugh off their big teeth.

"You're really willing." A hint of disappointment flashed on Chao Yu's face, "How old is Zhao Yongcai." ”

"Let him get in touch with these as soon as possible, and also see what the child is suitable for, and which path is most suitable for him in the future."

"You also know the allusion to pulling out seedlings," Chao Yu shook his head and said, "It's too much, don't put too much pressure on the child." ”

"Although the tiger father has no dogs, it is not an ordinary child who can afford to do something like General Zhao."

The two usually exchange some experiences in raising children, almost to the point of talking about everything, so they can speak out.

"I just want them to be useful people at home and in the country." Li Ruoxue gently pulled up a few strands of hair hanging down to her forehead, and when she mentioned the child, her beautiful eyes flashed with a bright light: "According to what Mr. Huang Zhoushan said, people are born with all kinds of talents, as long as they are useful in the country, they don't have to take a fixed path of civil and military advancement. I think there's some truth to that. Taking advantage of Yong'er, Zhuo'er is still young, there are two cultural relics, and all the sons and hundreds of schools have let them have some contact, and it is good to be able to go through that road. ”

The controversy between Huang Zhoushan's "theory of expertise" and Zhu Sen's "theory of generalism" mentioned by Li Gefei was boiling in Shilin in Kanto. This is not only a dispute of doctrine, but also involves the struggle for power between the court and the people, between the central and the local, and between various yamen. At the instigation of Wu Zilong and with the acquiescence of Chen Dong, most of the Qingliu of the Lishe Society supported Huang Zhoushan's "theory of expertise" to oppose the intervention of the central court in various matters, while Deng Su hinted that the imperial court supported the "theory of expertise" through the Di Bao Division, and the Ministry of Rites even linked it with the imperial court's selection of scholars, adding fuel to the flames and causing an uproar in Confucianism. Li Ruoxue has heard a lot of discussions recently, and she has also found a lot of articles from both sides to study, and she has been deeply touched, so she casually quoted Huang Zhoushan's arguments.

Chao Yu nodded, she didn't know much about Kanto's "generalist theory" and "specialist theory", and she didn't say much.

However, Li Ruoxue asked Zhao Yongbai to be a sergeant as a teacher, and she was very supportive.

Although there has been no war in Shuzhong for a hundred years, everyone knows that the sergeant is a symbol of status, and if a family wants to prosper, there must be at least one sergeant who supports the lintel, preferably a sergeant, thinking that every sergeant has many good robes in the battalion. The crown princess Zhang had already seen this, so she persuaded Li Ruoxue to let Zhao Yong practice martial arts since she was a child, and specially told Luda not only to teach Zhao Yong to practice martial arts, but also to teach him how to govern the shadow household, and teach him how to get along with each other in the army, so as not to fall into Zhao Xingde's reputation. Zhao Yong is an only son, if he can't be promoted to a sergeant, in the eyes of the Kansai people, no matter how talented Li Ruoxue is and how famous he is among the Kanto scribes, he is a failed mother.
