In the month of Layue, there were several heavy snowfalls in the capital. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The weather is cold, Shen Xi still has to insist on going to work, fortunately, the revision of the "Daming Huidian" here in the Hanlin Academy has come to an end, and there is no need to go every day, and the courses on the prince's side are relatively light.

The twenty-fourth day of the lunar month was the last time Shen Xi gave Zhu Houzhao a lesson a year ago.

Zhu Houzhao was very happy on this day, because Emperor Hongzhi specially allowed him to take annual leave after taking this day's class, which was several days earlier than usual.

"Mr. Shen, it's snowing these days, and I heard that it's very lively outside, can you take me out of Miyagi for a walk?" Zhu Houzhao ******** wanted to go out of the palace to play, he could have continued to blackmail Zhang Yanling and let Zhang Yanling take him out, but the temperature in the capital dropped to more than ten degrees below zero during the lunar month, and Zhang Yanling said that he was not sick and had not been to the palace for a long time.

Shen Xi shook his head: "The heavy snow has closed the roads, and most of the shops in the capital are closed, and even the traders rarely come out." The streets are deserted, what is the prince going out for? ”

"I just want to go out for a walk, and staying in this narrow palace wall all the time suffocates me to death."

Zhu Houzhao said, beckoned Liu Jin to bring the rabbit cage over and put it on the table to play, "Sir, look, I can distinguish between female rabbits and male rabbits now, I still know...... Hehe, how was the child born, it turns out that what Mr. said about the length and unevenness. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, the bear child finally knew the essence of men and women from studying animals, and it was discovered by himself through research, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

But soon the bear child's expression darkened, "It's a pity that my father transferred all the palace maids away, so I can't try it if I want to, sir, why don't you send the little girl I bought at the beginning to the palace?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head: "Civilian women can't enter the palace casually, the prince still broke off this idea earlier." ”

Zhu Houzhao spent four taels of silver to buy the little girl when he left the palace, and has been raised by Shen Xi in Li Jin, and now the two daughters are as good as sisters, supporting each other, living a good life, the most important thing is to have a companion for each other, take care of each other, and have a little more warmth of home.

Shen Xi promised Zhu Houzhao to buy the girl, not to let Zhu Houzhao harm others, but just to let Zhu Houzhao be responsible.

Now Zhu Houzhao understands the things between men and women, and wants to "practice" it, but as a result, there is not even a suitable object around him, and the bear child begins to be annoyed again, he didn't know how to use it when he had so many resources, and now he doesn't have a chance to try, and he will increase his sadness.

"Originally, I wanted my second uncle to send me a few women...... But he always refused to enter the palace. When I asked my mother, she said that my second uncle was very sick these days and was bedridden...... Hmph, he always uses this excuse to perfunctory me, if he dies of illness! Zhu Houzhao said hatefully.

Shen Xi had heard that Zhang Yanling was sick before, but he had never heard of the extent of his illness.

Good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years, and it is strange that a relative like Zhang Yanling who does all kinds of evil can die.

Shen Xi heard that the eldest son of Li Dongyang's family, after persisting for more than half a year, due to the recent cold temperature in the capital, the sick seedlings were infected with wind cold and tuberculosis, and finally couldn't afford to get sick, and died the day before yesterday.

Before that, Liu Jian couldn't stand the low temperature of minus 20 degrees in the capital, and the wind chill and asthma made him bedridden and had to call in sick.

Now the only person in charge of the cabinet is Xie Qian, who has a deep friendship with Shen Xi.

Unconsciously, Xie Qian faintly showed signs of developing into the first assistant of the cabinet.

Thinking that he would go to Xie Qian's mansion for a banquet in a few days, Shen Xi felt a little drumming in his heart, he didn't understand why Xie Qian suddenly showed favor to him, and arranged for him to compile the "Daming Huidian", and invited him to the mansion for a banquet.

Seeing Shen Xi's thoughtful look, the bear child said dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Shen, have you listened to me?" ”

Only then did Shen Xi come back to his senses and admonished: "Uncle Jianchang is the prince's uncle, don't be so rude, and take care of family affection at all times." ”

Speaking insincere words, Shen Xi felt that he was very hypocritical, he actually wished that Zhang Yanling would die sooner. Now that the capital is constantly calculating him, Zhang Yanling is a representative figure, and he has repeatedly sent him women to try to force him to comply, and then it was Hui Niang's case, all thanks to Zhang Yanling.

Although Zhang Yanling fulfilled him and Hui Niang in disguise, Shen Xi was not grateful for this.

"Sir, if not, I told my father that we would go hunting in the enclosure in the south of the city, and I heard that you would have fun hunting, and you would also fire cannons, and scare those Tartars who watched the ceremony into fart, and bowed down to you. Haha, Mr. must have been very majestic at that time, right? ”

Zhu Houzhao's little face was full of envy and yearning.

Children have an idol, Zhu Houzhao didn't respect anyone before, even his father, he didn't have a cold at all, as for those old pedantic gentlemen, every day is also, except for boredom. After Shen Xi taught "Twenty-one History", Zhu Houzhao began to worship Huo Quzhi, because Huo Qubing attacked the desert at the age of seventeen, recovered Hexi at the age of nineteen, and established the great cause of sealing the wolf at the age of twenty-one, which can be called the first person in Chinese history.

And Zhu Houzhao heard some stories about Shen Xi, and he also admired this little teacher, but he had not yet risen to the level of idolatry.

"That's the cannon that His Majesty ordered to cast."

Shen Xi deliberately told a lie here, in fact, the artillery he used was not cast by Daming, but in order to make Zhu Houzhao have more respect for his father and more confidence in Daming, Shen Xi had to tell this lie, "It's winter now, and the enclosure in the south of the city has long been covered with snow, even if the prince wants to hunt, he can only wait for the spring next year." ”

"Huh? Isn't it more imposing to gallop on the snow? Hey, ride your horse, bend your bow and shoot that eagle down with one arrow......"

The look of longing on Zhu Houzhao's face became even worse.

Shen Xi was a little surprised: "The prince can ride a horse?" ”

"Yes, I can do it a little, but I can only walk slowly, I am still learning to bend the bow and build an arrow, but that thing is not easy to learn, and I can't pull the bow that is too hard."

Zhu Houzhao is self-aware of himself and knows the difference between ideal and reality.

Shen Xi smiled with relief: "It is only right for the prince to attend classes well, and when the prince turns over the year and turns twelve, he can be in charge alone......

"Who said twelve, I'm thirteen, okay? Sir, you were the top student when you were thirteen, right? There will be a champion exam next year, and I want to take it too, so tell my father and let me take it? I heard that you have taken the Shuntianfu Township Examination...... What are the tests, can you teach me to do it? ”

Zhu Houzhao made two requests in a row.

Unlike ordinary scholars, Zhu Houzhao did not go to the examination education when he came up, he learned a broader and more comprehensive knowledge, but up to now, Zhu Houzhao's Bagu Wen level is only in a state of enlightenment, and there is no way to take the imperial examination at all.

Not everyone is like Shen Xi, who took the county exam at the age of ten, and he can pass one game. Ordinary children have studied hard for more than ten years, and it may take several times to pass the county examination, and Zhu Houzhao's serious attitude towards learning cannot be compared with ordinary students, especially children from poor families.

"If the prince wants to participate, there is no need to tell His Majesty, I will hand over the question to the prince after the exam, and let the prince try to answer it." Shen Xi said with a smile.

"That's fine. If only Mr. Shen could be the examiner, wouldn't that be the case so that I could know the exam questions in advance? Zhu Houzhao asked with a glare.

Shen Xi shook his head with a smile, not that he denied what Zhu Houzhao said about the examiner knowing the exam questions in advance, but that he denied that he would be the chief examiner of this year's exam.

Others may be qualified, but Shen Xi definitely doesn't, even if he presides over the Shuntianfu Township Examination, there is a lot of criticism of him from the outside, as for the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites, according to the rules, he is basically a university scholar, and with a famous Confucian at the level of Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi and the Ministry of Rites, now those who have this qualification, Wu Kuan, Wang Wei, and Liang Chu can do it, and more than a dozen people in the lower row will not be able to take his turn.

"The prince should pay more attention to his studies."

……

……

Coming out of the East Palace, Shen Xi walked home alone.

The capital is peaceful, there is no robbery, Shen Xi went to find Hui Niang for convenience, and did not let Zhu Shan's father and daughter follow, so that after autumn and winter, every time he went home, he walked, after all, Dong'anmen is not too far from his home in Zhaohui Jinggongfang, where he currently lives, and he can basically go back after walking for half an hour along the roots of the imperial city.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I saw a sedan chair parked there, but it was not an official sedan chair.

When Shen Xi passed, the sedan chair man who was stomping his feet under the eaves to keep out the cold shouted twice, and the owner of the sedan chair came out trembling and saluted Shen Xi: "Brother Shen, you can make me wait." ”

But it's Sutong.

"Brother Su? It's freezing this day, why don't you go in and wait...... Let's go, talk inside. Shen Xi shook his head and smiled dumbly, he thought that Su Tong was busy dealing with the Ministry of Rites exam in the spring of next year these days, and he would not come out to socialize.

Su Tong has lived in the south for a long time, and this winter is very cold, even if he is wearing heavy winter clothes, he is not suitable for it, and his upper and lower teeth are fighting while saying, "No...... You don't have to go in. I'm here to invite you over...... I just bought a house in the capital, and I will have a home in the capital in the future. ”

Shen Xi looked at Su Tong with a surprised gaze...... You didn't even get into the Jinshi, so you started to prepare for the house, but you are really rich.

"Why should Brother Su be in a hurry?" Shen Xi asked.

"Alas! Regardless of whether I am in the middle school or not, I am ready to live in the capital temporarily, and Fujian is not busy going back first, the capital is so prosperous, and I will feel extremely lonely when I return to Tingzhou. ”

Su Tong explained, and said, "Brother Zheng was admitted to the Juren last autumn, and he was supposed to arrive in Beijing in the middle of the month, but the road encountered heavy snow one after another, and there were delays, and it is estimated that it will arrive in two days." ”

"This time, I came to invite Brother Shen to come over, and I should help my brother celebrate the housewarming. With a Wenqu star like you, Brother Shen, coming, the mansion is full of brilliance. ”

The housewarming of the house, ask the feng shui master to go back to measure the feng shui, and then set up a banquet and find some celebrities to celebrate, which is the proper meaning of the question.

Shen Xi nodded: "When Zheng Gongzi arrives in the capital, he will definitely go over in the next place." ”

"I don't know when he will arrive, anyway, I'll wait for him for two days, and I will personally send a sedan chair to pick up people in the afternoon after tomorrow, and then Brother Shen can enjoy the light." You don't need to bring any gifts, it is the thickest gift for Brother Shen to be there in person. ”

Speaking of this, Su Tong had a touch of pride on his face, "I have something to tell Brother Shen, the original owner of the mansion...... Haha, but it was in the Tingzhou Mansion City rampant Gao Ya, this house was originally compensated by the imperial court, just near Desheng Gate, near Jishuitan, but unfortunately his family fell in the middle of the road, in order to support his wife and concubine, and at the same time repay the huge amount of money owed by his grandfather, he had to sell his capital, so I found someone to buy it. Looking at his embarrassed appearance when signing the contract, it is very likely that he will sell all his wives and concubines in the future, hum! ”

Shen Xi couldn't help frowning, Su Tong's vindictiveness was really strong.

At the beginning, Gao Chong beat him, leaving him with a lot of psychological shadows, and now Gao Chong has lost his bad luck, Su Tong wants to take the opportunity to fall into the well, not only to buy Gao Chong's mansion, but also to continue to stumble Gao Chong in the future.
