"Huh!?"

This result was not expected by Zhu Youzhu himself, his son was so stumbling when he was writing silently just now, how could he answer neatly in the end?

"Take it and show it to me!"

Zhu Youzhu immediately thought about whether the marking officer intended to cover up, but when he took his son's examination paper in his hand and read it carefully, it was indeed as Wang Wei said, only the "Five Classics" question was wrong, and it was estimated that Li Dongyang's question was a little biased. ⊙。 ⊙

Queen Zhang couldn't help but be secretly happy when she heard it, she was worried that her son would make a fool of herself, but now it seems that her son is fighting for face!

Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "Prince, why did you stumble when you answered before?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's face was full of pride, and he replied: "Back to my father, Mr. taught the child that you can't rush things and win steadily, so before the child answers each question, he will think about it again and again, but he won't make a mistake." ”

Zhu Youzhu carefully looked at the exam paper again, whether it was correct or wrong, there were no revisions, smudges and ink spots in the middle, and the handwriting was neat, which showed that his son was not lying.

When the ministers present heard this, they were all a little relieved...... The prince just said that he wanted to make a meritorious deed, which seemed a little arbitrary, and he was worried that the prince would be an impulsive emperor in the future. But now it seems that the prince can think twice before doing things, which is the quality that a Ming Jun should have.

"Okay, put aside the dictation for now, and now I'll ask you ......"

During the assessment, Zhu Youzhi was "merciful", thinking that his son's knowledge was not comprehensive, so he tried his best to pick simple questions to ask, and now that he knows that his son is deliberately pretending to be a bear, he is not welcome, and the next "Twenty-one History" and the set of annotated exam questions will no longer be released.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't hold his breath, he said that he leaked his mouth before the exam was over, and now that his father wants to come with him with real guns, he can only cheer up and answer Zhu Youji's question seriously.

Zhu Youzhu asked again about the content of the "Twenty-first History" and directly asked Zhu Houzhao to recite the original text...... It's not all memorized, pick the key points to memorize, and then ask the person what he has done, what his thoughts are, and what his evaluation is. These questions are beyond the level of Shen Xi's lectures, but Zhu Houzhao is surprisingly calm, thinking carefully about what Professor Shen Xi said, and there is basically no major deviation in the answers, even if the answers of several characters are not very accurate, but at least they do not confuse the characters.

Zhu Youzhu was holding his breath, wanting his son to know what was good and bad, and to suppress his son's arrogant mentality, but in the back, Zhu Youzhu was a little unbearable, because his son was indeed studying with his heart, especially in the "Twenty-one History", the depth of his attainments has far exceeded his expectations.

After taking more than a dozen off-topic questions in a row, he didn't knock down the prince, and then Emperor Hongzhi gradually calmed down, and when Zhu Houzhao occasionally answered something biased, he would correct it and make a comment at the same time.

After the content of "Twenty-one History" was examined, it was a collection of annotated exam questions, although Zhu Houzhao stammered his answers, but he answered them anyway.

The exam lasted for an hour, and when the sky darkened, the exam officially ended, Zhu Youzhu looked at the sky outside the main hall, and said: "In the blink of an eye, it is almost the end of today's daily lecture. ”

The assessment on this day was held in the name of daily lectures.

Originally, there would be no food in the palace after the lecture was over, but perhaps Emperor Hongji was very satisfied with his son's academic progress, and in order to thank the ministers of civil and military affairs and the officials who were present, the emperor decided to give food and let the ministers out of the palace, which was a very great gift to the ministers who participated in the daily lecture.

Shen Xi followed the crowd to the back of the Wenhua Palace, where the cabinet scholars and the six Shangshu held a separate table, while he, the speaker of the East Palace, could only share a table with others.

But although it is a table, the treatment is also very good, in the middle of August, there are still fresh sea bass and shrimp to eat, bear paws, deer tails, leopard fetuses, etc. are all delicious that can not be eaten outside, in addition to the steamed vegetables, stir-fried vegetables and mixed vegetables of various tastes, salted eggs and salted duck eggs are open to eat unlimited quantities, and you can take them home if you can't finish eating.

This feast is super sumptuous, perhaps because there are few people who are well prepared, and I don't know how much richer the dishes than the feast that Shen Xi had eaten before.

The higher the specification, the more satisfied the emperor is with today's assessment.

When he left the palace, a little eunuch came over to take charge of the lamp, and Shen Xi carried a large bag of food, followed behind the ministers, and walked slowly. At this time, Xie Qian, who was originally walking side by side with Li Dongyang, stopped, as if enjoying the scenery of the inner courtyard of the palace, and when Shen Xi passed by him, he called Shen Xi out, and then walked towards the palace gate together.

"You kid can, the things written on the lesson plan have basically been inspected by His Majesty, the prince has performed well in the "Twenty-one History" you taught this time, it seems that you don't have to worry about losing your job as a lecturer in the East Palace and returning to the Hanlin Academy...... You're a big kid. ”

Xie Qian's tone was a little narrow, as if sarcastic and flattering.

Listening to the meaning of Xie Qian's words, this is hoping that I will be beaten back to my original form? Shen Xi became more and more unable to figure out Xie Lao'er's mentality.

Shen Xi said: "Thank you for your support." ”

Xie Qian smiled: "There is no need to say more polite words. Before the prince replied, it was really a cold sweat for the old man for you, and now in this peaceful year, what Your Majesty is most afraid of is to use swords and soldiers to work the people and lose money...... You know what to do, right? ”

Shen Xi nodded in understanding.

Xie Qian's words can be summed up as to guide the prince in the direction of governing the country with Confucianism.

However, with Zhu Houzhao's character of fooling and loving heroes, it is very difficult to control his thoughts, and Shen Xi does not think that Zhu Houzhao's ideas are wrong.

In line with the attitude of being responsible for education, Shen Xi believes that the significance of Mr. is to preach and teach and solve doubts, and to cultivate a student into a talent, we should dig out more of his advantages, and carry forward his advantages, and persuade him not to go astray.

Whether it is Chongwen or martial arts, it is not a character flaw, and there is no need for guidance at all.

When parting, Xie Qian reminded again: "The envoys of the Franc machine, the envoy of Wuliangha, and the matter of practicing the Franc machine gun, don't delay, this is also the emperor's errand, and you can't be lazy." ”

Shen Xi secretly complained in his heart.

Could this be what Xie Yun'er said about the ability to work harder?

Just finished the prince's assessment, and there are so many important errands waiting for him to do, and it is the kind of drudgery that if you don't do your duty well, you will be condemned and need to run.

……

……

It was already three o'clock when Shen Xi came out of the palace, and when he got home, the second watch drum had already started.

Zhu Shan was waiting in front of the door with a lantern, and when she saw Shen Xi's figure, she quickly picked up the lantern to illuminate it, and when she saw it clearly, she took a few steps forward to meet her.

When they entered the house, Shen Xi found that Xie Yun'er and Lin Dai had not slept, and the two daughters were waiting in the living room in the front yard, idle, and each took a book to read.

Seeing Shen Xi entering the door with a burden, the two daughters were a little strange.

"Xianggong is busy with business so late?"

As the mother of the family, Xie Yun'er acted in a measured manner, and only asked with concern after stepping forward to salute Shen Xi.

Shen Xi put the burden on the table and opened it, revealing the oil bladder and delicate ceramic tableware wrapped in the food: "Your Majesty inspected the prince's knowledge, and then gave a banquet in the palace, and only came back after eating...... Do you want to try it too? ”

"Wow."

Hearing this, Lin Dai stepped forward excitedly, dismantled the oil bags separately, revealing the contents inside, and couldn't help frowning, "It's still leftovers......

Shen Xi shrugged his shoulders and said, "This banquet is of a very high standard, there are delicacies from the mountains and seas, and no one has moved chopsticks for many dishes...... If you really don't want to eat it, there are a few clean salted eggs and salted duck eggs to peel and eat. ”

Lin Dai wrinkled her little nose: "It doesn't look very good, I thought that the palace was full of dragon liver and phoenix gall, but that's it." ”

Xie Yun'er glanced at her and said, "There is no rule, this is what the prime minister has worked so hard to bring out of the palace, who do you think can casually eat the meals in the palace?" Xianggong felt sorry for us, and deliberately took it back, you are so much nonsense? Thank you so much! ”

Lin Dai stuck out her tongue, lowered her head and bowed to Shen Xi: "Thank you, master." ”

When Shen Xi saw this, he knew that Lin Dai, the little daughter-in-law, was crushed to death by Xie Yun'er. First of all, in terms of age, Xie Yun'er is older, and then in terms of experience in dealing with people, Xie Yun'er does have the demeanor of a housewife, and she is more knowledgeable than Lin Dai.

Shen Xi smiled: "There are not so many rules, sit down and eat together, and by the way, call Xiaoshan and them over." ”

Xie Yun'er shook her head: "No, there must always be a rule in the family, the husband is sympathetic to the subordinates, and it is ...... to give them some dishes The things in this palace are eaten in an artistic conception, and they are not to be full. ”

Shen Xi suddenly felt that Xie Yun'er had a very heavy feudal concept in her mind, and she used to think that Xie Yun'er talked about rules everywhere and could make the inner house have a backbone, but now it seems that Xie Yun'er is more and more concerned about governing the interior as a career, and with her serious and responsible attitude, Lin Dai and a few maids will have to suffer in the future.

After a simple meal, Lin Dai washed up, Shen Xi called Xie Yun'er to her side, and said in a consultative tone: "Yun'er, I've thought about it, although there is no shortage of expenses at home now, I can't always rely on my mother and Aunt Sun to make up for it, and my money is not much...... It just so happened that the tenant lease of Xie's shop expired, so it was better to take back the shop and make a deal as I said before. ”

Xie Yun'er immediately shook her head: "Xianggong is an official in the court, and he is a scholar of Hanyuan, his reputation is the most important, and it is absolutely impossible to do business." ”

Shen Xi said: "We don't necessarily have to come forward to do business ourselves, we don't have the resources on hand to make medicines, and we don't dare to do them in the capital, for fear of getting into a lawsuit, but if you just sell medicinal materials, it's no problem, you are familiar with the way, and with the help of the sixth brother, it should be no problem." ”

"Yun'er, you just need to take care of the accounts at home, go over occasionally to take a look, check the warehousing, and the details can be handed over to Yun Bo, he is the housekeeper of Xie Mansion, you should understand all this."

"Xianggong, the concubine is the wife of a dignified Yuanlang, isn't it okay to show up casually?"

Xie Yun'er's face was full of gratitude, knowing that Shen Xi understood her and wanted to revive the Xie Clan's Medical Center, but she didn't want to embarrass Shen Xi because of feudal etiquette.

Shen Xi smiled: "How can a husband be the kind of person with a small belly?" Besides, Yun'er, you have medical skills, but you can't benefit the people, it's really a pity, it's better to hang a pot to help the world...... Yun'er, what do you say? ”

When Xie Yun'er heard Shen Xi say this, she was moved in her heart and nodded obediently.

"The concubine has been in the house for two years, but she has not been able to open up branches for the Shen family, and she has to show up and do something that damages the face of the princess, and the concubine is really ashamed." Xie Yun'er was a little depressed.

Shen Xi smiled: "If you are pregnant, you are not allowed to go out as a husband." Haha, besides, if you don't try more, how do you know that you won't have a chance to get pregnant? ”

As soon as she heard that she wanted to "try", a touch of red immediately appeared on Xie Yun'er's pink face, and Shen Xi hugged his wife and moved his hands and feet, but this time Xie Yun'er was not as enthusiastic as before, because Lin Dai was still rinsing her mouth and washing her face and feet in the yard, even if she wanted the love of husband and wife, she had to wait until the middle of the night when there was no one.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "They are obviously a righteous and bright couple, but they have a lot of worries and want to do things secretly, and there is no one except Xie Yun'er." ”
