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.

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 once had a lot of pressure. 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. Although he didn't sleep in the willows, Zhao Xingde and Han Ningshuang and Zhao Huan had a personal relationship between men and women, which gave Li Ruoxue a great blow. 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 across Chao Yu's face. But she didn't say much.

She knew in Shu that in order for a family to prosper, there must be at least one scholar who supports the lintel, preferably a sergeant, thinking that every sergeant has many good robes in the camp. Zhao Yong is the only son of the general, if he can't be promoted to sergeant, no matter how talented Li Ruoxue is and how famous he is, in the eyes of the Kansai people, he is a failed mother. Zhang Caiwei had already seen this, so she specially told Luda to teach Zhao Yong martial arts from an early age, and taught him how to govern the shade household.

............

"Look at it!" Luda whispered to Zhao Yong and soaked the raw cowhide whip in the well water.

"Yes, master." Zhao Yong nodded, and his gaze fell on a frightened person kneeling under the big locust tree in the distance.

This man was the shadow of another sergeant, because he had taken the property of a widow who happened to be the shadow of Ruda. After Ruda consulted with the other sergeant, he was not guilty of the crime, so he was punished with ten lashes. Although there are only ten lashes, the whip of the sergeant beating people is not ordinary, but it is made of three strands of raw cowhide twisted, after soaking the well water, a whip goes down and the skin is immediately opened. The Kansai sergeant was very experienced, and in order to prevent the victim from screaming indiscriminately, he bit off his tongue and gagged him tightly with rags.

Ruda carried a leather whip in his hand, and walked towards the prisoner step by step with a blank face.

The man's upper clothes had been stripped off to reveal his back, and he was trembling with fear like a chicken, his hands were tied to the stakes of the execution, and he was still writhing and struggling, and his mouth kept making "woo, woo" sounds. Ruda ignored it, walked straight up, waved his leather whip, and made a "pop" in the air. Although it did not hit the man's back, the man was shocked, and the cold sweat on his forehead had come down, just when he felt that there was no pain on his back, and he was secretly relieved that the whip had not yet been put on his body, he only heard a "pop" sound, because of the severe pain, the whole person of the tortured person bowed and jumped up from the ground, and after the whip shadow, a deep blood mark was left on his back.

The crowd of onlookers let out an exclamation, and many women and children closed their eyes, as did the widow who had been bullied by the scoundrels.

"Don't look at him pitiful, when he bullied other people's orphans and widows,
