Chapter 10: Entering the Palace
The palaces stood in the distance, Xue Fei followed the little eunuch step by step into the residence of the third son of the emperor, what he saw was not a small residence similar to the aggrieved residence of the prince during the Qing Dynasty, but Zhu Mingxuan's residence was very atmospheric.
This is also a normal residence in the ancient Ming Dynasty, and this is similar to the dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Xue Fei stood in the residence, and the little eunuch entered Zhu Mingxuan's study to tell Xue Fei that he was coming.
Zhu Mingxuan is now a 12-year-old Lang Lang boy, he walked out of his residence and saw Xue Fei: "Xiao Fei is here!" Come, come in with me! Ah Jin, you go to the imperial dining room and say that you want milk cake and lotus paste, and you want red date tea for drinks. ”
Ah Jin is Zhu Mingxuan's personal eunuch, and after Zhu Mingxuan finished speaking, he pulled Xue Fei into his study.
Xue Fei had no choice but to let Zhu Mingxuan pull him away, and when he walked into the study, he threw Zhu Mingxuan away and sat on the chair in the study by himself: "How many times have I told you!" I'm not a child! No need to hold hands! ”
Zhu Mingxuan: "Okay, good! If my brother doesn't let me, he won't let it! By the way, it's time for you to take the exam today! You're going to have to fight for me! I'm going to take you to have fun when you enter the palace! ”
Xue Fei rolled his eyes at him: "Don't worry!" I'm not interested in reading with you, and I wouldn't have come if it weren't for my father and grandfather! As for entering the palace, you're not as fun as my house! ”
Zhu Mingxuan: "Hey! You little brat! Do you know how many people out there want to be my acolytes? ”
Xue Fei: "I don't know, I don't want to know, I'm leaving!" I'm going to the test location! Let the little eunuch who brought me in just now send me over!" But I said okay, if I am really your attendant in the future, you can't do anything to affect me. ”
Zhu Mingxuan was very happy to hear this: "Don't worry! What I do won't affect you, Ah Jin, you ask your little apprentice to send Xiaofei to the test location. ”
Ah Jin walked into the study: "Yes!" The third son of the emperor! ”
Xue Fei still followed the little eunuch away, to be honest, Xue Fei actually hated these eunuchs in his heart, but he also sympathized with them a little, because as a man after all, no one was comfortable losing an important component, and hating them was mainly during the Ming Dynasty, and some of Dongchang's practices in some things were very annoying.
Xue Fei was taken to the house of the Guozijian, and the little eunuch: "The little prince can wait here!" The slave is going back to give the third son of the emperor his life! ”
Xue Fei: "Thank you! After speaking, the little eunuch left, Xue Fei stood in the courtyard of the Guozijian and looked at the surrounding environment, the environment built in the Guozijian was okay in Xue Fei's eyes, after all, it was one of the reserves of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, but it was not much better, the courtyard of the four directions, in addition to a few lotus flowers planted in the water tank, a few pots of unknown flowers under the verandah, and the large flower ponds on both sides of the courtyard, the rest was not much to look at.
"You are the son of the Xue Command Envoy?" Xue Fei was looking at the surrounding environment in the courtyard, when a slightly hoarse voice came from in front of him, Xue Fei looked at the person, this person was also a child, but a few years older than Zhu Mingxuan, he looked like he was about 17 or 18 years old, and it was the boy's voice change period, so his voice was a little hoarse.
Xue Fei was wearing a robe made by his mother, and he nodded: "That's right!" I am the son of the Xue family, may I ask who you are? ”
The man: "My name is Fang Yue, and my father is Fang Bin!" The young man stood in the verandah in a blue brocade robe.
Xue Fei: "The son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites? Little brother is here to visit! After speaking, Xue Fei made a funny fist salute to Fang Yue.
Seeing that Xue Fei was so funny, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You go in the house and sit for a while!" There was no one else in the house either! ”
Xue Fei: "Okay! It just so happens that I'm thirsty too! Xue Fei and Fang Yue walked into the room in the evening.
There were more than a dozen young people about the same size as the house sitting in the room, and as soon as they saw Xue Fei enter the house, they looked at Xue Fei curiously, and Xue Fei didn't care.
"You are the son of the Rite Scholar family? That's not right! I didn't hear that he still has a son! One of them asked Xue Fei.
Xue Fei drank the water served by the servant, and he opened his mouth to explain: "I am not the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, my name is Xue Fei, and my father is the commander of Xue. ”
After saying that, there was silence in the house, and everyone looked at Xue Fei with strange eyes, because Jinyiwei was the eagle dog of the imperial court in their eyes, and Xue Fei was the son of the eagle dog leader, so everyone couldn't look at Xue Fei with normal eyes, even if Xue Fei was a child in their eyes.
Xue Fei didn't care, because he had had enough of some people's eyes in his previous life, he could not care at all in the face of the eyes of these little children, he silently ate the pastries on his table, and the reason why he didn't eat at Zhu Mingxuan's place was because he really didn't want to eat that person's things.
"Okay, now that you're here, let's go to the exam room!" Xue Fei had just finished eating two cakes when a man in an official uniform came in to announce the news, Xue Fei: "Teacher! I want to go to the toilet now, can you accompany me later? The man: "Yes!" ”
Xue Fei smiled at the man, he walked into the number room with everyone, small rooms separated by wooden boards, after he selected the room, the person in the official uniform just now said, "Is there anyone else going to the toilet?" No one in the room answered him, and he could only take Xue Fei to the thatched house outside to solve the problem.
After Xue Fei came back, he walked into the small house he had just chosen, there was a futon in the small cubicle, in addition to the case, there was a futon, and the rest was pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and there was no place to rest.
Xue Fei sat down to look at the topic of entering the palace this time, and he saw that the topic of this time was "On How to Govern Today?" Xue Fei smiled when he saw this topic, he thought this topic was so interesting, because even if he was an adult, he didn't dare to talk about politics casually, but this time the topic appeared.
Xue Fei wrote: Since ancient times, the people have taken food as the sky, and food is based on agriculture, and I think that farmers should be given a reduction in taxes....
After Xue Fei finished writing his arguments in one breath, he fell asleep on his desk tiredly, and when the handing bell rang, it was already noon, he wiped his saliva, walked out of Guozijian and came to the small dining hall outside Guozijian, he ordered food and then eat, at this time Fang Yue sat in front of Xue Fei: "How did you answer?" ”
Xue Fei shrugged indifferently: "I don't care!" What about you? What do you think? ”
House Yue: "It's okay! Actually, I'm not sure, I heard that this time the main thing is to find two attendants for His Royal Highness the Third Prince. ”
