Chapter 682: Prestige and Martial Arts Lesson
"Why did Aunt Baoqing call my mother here?" Although Xi Yao was very happy to hear Baoqing's title, she still said so.
"The gentleman in the class has taught, the queen mother is the world, and everyone should be respected, so I call it so." Baoqing said.
"Which gentleman taught him that? But Mr. Liu? Xi Yao asked as she walked towards the dining hall with them. She decided to reward the gentleman.
"It's to teach Mr. Du calligraphy and painting lessons." Baoqing said. Siqi secretly glanced at Yun Xi.
"Meaning, you ...... tomorrow" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly said, "Uncle, where is Min'er?" ”
"She, there are a lot of vassal kings who have entered Beijing in the past two days, and many vassal kings have brought their youngest sons and daughters to the capital, Min'er and the youngest daughter of the king of Chu have become familiar and go to the palace of the king of Chu as a guest, and they will come back after eating." Xi Yao said.
The dining hall had arrived while speaking, Xi Yao asked Yun Xi to walk in first, and he was about to go in, when he suddenly felt that his skirt was gently pulled, and he looked down and saw Siqi standing next to her legs, and Siqi suddenly fell to the ground and said, "Oops! ”
Xi Yao knew that Siqi had something to say to her, so she immediately bent down and picked her up and said, "This is because the shoes on my feet are not properly worn, so I fell." Then he said to Zhiyi: "Go and get some plasters to reduce swelling and stasis." ”
From Zhiyi's point of view, she could clearly see that there was nothing wrong with Siqi's feet, and her heart suddenly trembled a little, and she agreed: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
In these few words, Xiyao very normally let Guo Xiyi and others fall behind.
Siqi whispered in her ear: "Uncle, just now my uncle said that Mr. Du, who teaches calligraphy and painting, ......, so he has decided to expel Mr. Du from the girls' school. ”
Xi Yao was shocked! If she had said that she would reward Mr. Du just now, whether Yun Xi would have publicly said that she would expel Mr. Du from the girls' school, or later said behind her back, it would have damaged her prestige; And the possibility that Yun Xi will not expel the girl surnamed Du from school because of her reward is about zero, at most in order to take care of her face and then do it in a few months.
Yun Xi has succeeded to the throne for more than four years, and even if the relationship with Xi Yao is good, it is becoming more and more like the emperor. The reason why Baoqing became more and more respectful to Yun Xi and no longer called him by his name was because she was getting older and older, and because she felt more and more from Yun Xi what her father looked like back then.
"Thank you so much." Xi Yao whispered.
"How can the nephew be worthy of the word thank you from the uncle, the aunt will say it again." Siqi said.
Xi Yao didn't speak again, and walked into the house with Siqi in her arms.
At this time, Zhiyi came back with the 'swelling ointment', and Xi Yao took the ointment from her hand and applied it to Siqi's feet. There are two kinds of ointments that Zhiyi takes, one is an ointment that reduces swelling normally, and the other is an ointment that makes the skin look swollen.
Yun Xi checked Siqi's feet after she put Siqi on the seat, frowned and said, "Who gave you the shoes to wear, why are they so unstable?" ”
"I wore it myself. In the afternoon, when I was practicing martial arts, I accidentally asked the person in front of me to step on the shoe on my right foot, and I put the shoe on again. Siqi said.
Since Siqi said that he wore it himself, Yun Xi couldn't blame anything. At this time, the people in the imperial dining room came to the door with the food, and Yun Xi put Siqi down, returned to his seat and began to eat.
After eating, Yun Xi stayed to talk to a few of them today. He remembered what Siqi said about practicing martial arts just now, and asked, "Baoqing, Siqi, Xianqin, do you three like martial arts classes?" ”
The martial arts class is another course that Yun Hee came up with in the second half of the year to add to the girls' school. In fact, at first, he seemed to let them learn martial arts, but he didn't dare to add it for fear of causing impeachment from officials.
But later, once he listened to Baoqing and the others chatting, and said that eighty percent of the students in the girls' school are the daughters of the military generals' families, and the daughters of the civil officials' families are only seventeen in the three grades.
Although the daughters of these generals do not have to and cannot go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, many of them have learned some martial arts to a greater or lesser extent, and they will get up very early every morning to practice.
Yun Xi found out that in fact, if the martial arts class is really implemented, there may not be many people who oppose it!
But Yun Xi still didn't dare to directly set up a compulsory course in martial arts, after all, there were still seventeen daughters of literati officials. He asked Xi Yao to open several elective courses in the girls' school, including martial arts.
For the daughters of many military generals, other embroidery and other electives are very headaches, they can afford to hold a needle to repair the holes in their clothes, let them learn embroidery is simply to murder them, it seems that there is a martial arts class here, okay, just choose it. So in the end, the martial arts class became the course with the largest number of electives.
"I think the martial arts class is very good!" Baoqing said: "Mr. did not start with Zama step like when I used to watch Yunzhi practice martial arts, but practiced various movements, which are also very good-looking movements, although the posture is a little laborious, but I still like martial arts classes." ”
It seems that the martial arts class actually didn't teach any useful martial arts, just let them practice tricks; But it didn't matter, they couldn't have gone to war in the first place. It seems that there is only one female general who has fought in the late Ming Dynasty who can be determined in history. Yun Xi thought.
"Uncle, the gentleman in the martial arts class taught us all kinds of movements at the beginning, although it was easy for us to learn, but the martial arts practiced in this way are useless, right?" Siqi said: "Many martial arts people who have practiced martial arts say that this is just a show, and even if the practitioner uses the same strength as you, he can be put down in three or two." But I'm actually just as fond of this kind of martial arts class as Sister Baoqing. ”
Unlike the previous two, Xianqin firmly expressed her opposition to martial arts classes. "Brother Huang, the martial arts practiced in this way can't even compare to the showmanship of running the rivers and lakes! Even if I finish learning in the end, my father's original martial arts master can still knock me down in one go! What is the use of learning such martial arts! Or should you learn some useful martial arts! ”
She burst into tears. She thought to herself, 'If only my sisters had learned useful martial arts, they would have killed themselves without being humiliated, even if they still couldn't beat those who had traveled far away.' ’
Yun Xi and Xi Yao panicked. They didn't immediately think of the Luxie Rebellion more than two years ago, and they didn't know why Xianqin suddenly cried, and hurriedly comforted her and asked why she was crying. But Hyun-geon quickly wiped away her tears and didn't say anything.
