Chapter 775: Male and Female and Male and Female

Regardless of whether the prince is angry or not, what Shen Xi wants to talk about can only be done in moderation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It can be implied that some specious words can be used to fool it, but it cannot involve substantive content, but it is a pity that the sage did not talk about how men and women have children, otherwise this is a rather vicious imperial examination question, because it cannot speak for the sage.

"Prince, may I ask what it means to be sloppy?" Shen Xi asked suddenly.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Sloppy...... It's you who talk to fool me, I tell you, this is what the queen mother asked you to tell me, if you don't say it now, I will ask someone to tell the queen mother, and let the queen mother punish you! ”

According to the rules of the East Palace, the prince cannot speak slang in class, as for ordinary conversations, it is okay, but some slang nouns cannot be spoken, and if they are spoken, the East Palace speaker must correct them.

Shen Xi said: "If it is for the sake of learning, then who dares to continue to preach for the prince?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered that even his father, who was the emperor, said that he should treat Mr. well, not to shake his face in front of Mr., to be polite when he sees Mr., and not to lose his temper with Mr. because of a trivial matter.

As for scolding Mr., it is even more impermissible.

Thinking about it, even if the queen said that he would ask Shen Xi, if Shen Xi didn't say it, he would have nothing to do with Shen Xi.

"You...... Do you even say it! ”

Zhu Houzhao is a grievance in his heart, he trusts you so much, treats you as a gentleman and a good friend, you actually tease me to my face, it's so infuriating!

Shen Xi asked, "Has the prince learned "Mulan Ci"? ”

"What's the word?" Zhu Houzhao glared at Shen Xi.

Yuefu poems belong to the "collection" department of the subset of scriptures and history that Zhu Houzhao learned on weekdays, but those old scholars are not as enlightened as Shen Xi has such enlightened educational thoughts, and their teaching questions are definitely taught according to the "degree of importance", like "Yuefu Poems", even if they want to teach, I am afraid they will have to wait until the prince is thirteen or fourteen years old.

But "Mulan Ci" tells the story of a woman who is not accommodated by Cheng Zhu Lixue, who not only shows up, but even goes out to fight, covering the limelight of men, which is contrary to the etiquette advocated by the Ming Dynasty today. Shen Xi even speculated that if the bear child wants to come into contact with "Mulan Ci", I am afraid that he must rely on self-study.

"Mulan Ci is about the story of a strange woman who went out on behalf of her father and made meritorious contributions during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and finally became a female general and returned triumphantly. Others didn't know that she was a woman. ”

Shen Xi's lecture on "Yuefu Poems" is beyond the syllabus, but if you think about it carefully, it is not. Shen Xi teaches "Twenty-one History", and the Northern and Southern Dynasties also belong to the category of history, as for whether this Mulan is a historical figure, it is debatable.

Regarding Zhu Houzhao's likes and dislikes, Shen Xi has a clear grasp.

This bear child's favorite thing in the past is to go out to fight, all the records about the war in the "Twenty-first History", Zhu Houzhao must listen carefully, and he is good at asking questions, and there is a lot of yearning in his expression.

Now the bear child is curious about men and women, and now the story of "Mulan Ci" just satisfies his curiosity and yearning for two things at the same time. Sure enough, when Shen Xi said that a woman was joining the army on behalf of his father, Zhu Houzhao immediately raised his interest: "Tell me about it." ”

Shen Xi first recited the poem from beginning to end, Zhu Houzhao listened to it and understood it halfway, Shen Xi translated the content of the poem in the vernacular, Zhu Houzhao listened to it with a confused face: "Women, there should be a big difference from men, why didn't those people notice it?" ”

Shen Xi said: "Didn't you say the end of the poem? 'The male rabbit's feet are fluttering, the female rabbit's eyes are blurred, the two rabbits walk on the ground, and Ann can tell that I am a male and female'. Does the prince understand? ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes blinked again, what feet fluttered, what eyes blurred, from childhood to adulthood, he had never even seen a rabbit, how did he know the difference? But he still nodded and said, "I see, Mr. means to let me go back and study rabbits, right?" Who, find me two rabbits, a female and a male, and I'm going to study them thoroughly! ”

Zhu Houzhao has a lot of fun, and once he finds something interesting, he will forget another thing.

The story of "Mulan Ci" told by Shen Xi attracted him very much, and as for the difference between male rabbits and female rabbits, he could go back and study them for several days.

"Would the prince like to continue attending classes now?" Shen Xi asked.

"This ...... Then you just go ahead! However, when the class is over, I'll go back and see what the male and female rabbits are all about, and I'll ask you later. Hmph, if I find that there is no difference between them, I will come back to my husband for advice. Zhu Houzhao was still a little out of breath.

A question, he didn't find an answer for a long time, everyone perfunctory him, and Shen Xi told him a little bit of content appropriately, and others didn't say a word about this matter, so he didn't think much about himself, and was ready to discover the truth little by little.

……

……

After class, Shen Xi returned to Zhan Shifu, and most of the people in Zhan Shifu were talking about it.

It is no secret that Zhu Houzhao raised the issue of the difference between men and women and the birth of children, and others were silent about Zhu Houzhao, but Shen Xi came up with a set of yin and yang harmony theory, and sent the prince away.

Many people laugh at this.

Jin Gui is not on duty, he just sorted out the prince's living records and sent them, and when he walked out of Zhan Shifu with Shen Xi, he said with some emotion:

"Unexpectedly, the prince is unrelenting, you still don't have to mention this matter. A few days ago, the prince's living records have been submitted to His Majesty, and it is estimated that His Majesty will know about this matter in a short time, if His Majesty investigates it...... Brother Shen, let's think about how to explain it! ”

Shen Xi nodded, since Zhu Houzhao asked Empress Zhang about this matter, then Emperor Hongzhi naturally knew.

As Zhu Houzhao grew up, he became curious about the affairs of men and women, which is not necessarily all bad, which at least shows that the prince's sexual orientation is normal and that he has begun to transition to puberty.

For Zhu Youji, who has only one son, his psychology is actually the same as the Shen family's expectations of Shen Xi at the beginning, no matter how old you are, it is best to get the woman around you pregnant as soon as possible, so that the family can have a queen.

The prince's living record shows that Emperor Hongzhi has realized that his son is beginning to develop, and whether he agrees with what Shen Xi said before is another matter.

A day later, Shen Xi just went to Zhan Shifu to submit a lecture, and didn't want Xie Qian to send someone to pass him on and ask him to go to Xie Mansion.

Shen Xi thought to himself, needless to say, it was also for the prince, and maybe he would be counted down by Xie Lao'er again.

When he arrived at Xie Mansion, Xie Qian did not mention the prince at the beginning, but talked about the issue of exchanging grain crop seeds with the Francophone people suggested by Shen Xi before.

“…… The envoy of the Buddha Langji has arrived in the capital, and now he has arranged to live in the same hall...... Don't worry, His Majesty didn't let you get involved, and the Franc didn't name you this time. ”

Xie Qian said, "As for how to talk to the Franc machine, I have to talk to you about it, and I can't be discovered by the Franc machine, so I have a lion to open my mouth, right?" ”

Shen Xi said: "Elder Xie Ge will not be able to make up his mind soon?" ”

Xie Qian said dissatisfiedly: "There are so many talents in the imperial court, do you know why you are asked?" Because you are the only one in the Manchu Dynasty who talks about corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, maybe you don't recognize it, but at least you have heard about it and know some characteristics. Otherwise, my Daming will be toyed with in applause, where will I have face? ”

At Xie Qian's insistent request, Shen Xi drew many details such as canes, seeds, and fruits of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. Xie Qian was amazed and asked, "Is there really such a miraculous crop in the world?" ”

"Xie Ge has never seen it, how can he know if he has not?" Shen Xi asked rhetorically.

Xie Qian said: "Okay, I'll go and present the recital to Your Majesty, and I guess there will be news before the end of the year." The Francophone is very cunning, this time, I heard that I am wandering in the mountains and rivers of my Ming Dynasty, as if there is a intention to steal my Ming military aircraft......"

Shen Xi thought to himself, is the Franco machine crazy? Knowing that the Ming Dynasty is rich in resources, how many ships can people send to the Ming Dynasty? And there is no absolutely suppressive firearm as a basis, dare to easily fight with the Ming Dynasty?

At most, you are wary of the outside world, which is not bad, after all, sooner or later, the Francophone people will knock on the coastal defense in Daming, and even occupy a small piece of territory.

After talking about the crops, Xie Qian did not give up, and brought up the prince's recent curiosity about men and women.

“…… You kid, there are some things to remind you that the prince is young now, and you should know what to say and what not to say. Your Majesty has issued an order to temporarily remove all the maids of the East Palace, if you say something that you shouldn't say, don't blame Your Majesty for guilty. Xie Qiandao.

Shen Xi asked, "How will Your Majesty condemn you?" Is there anything unreasonable about what the student said? ”

"If you can't say it, if you don't say it, why do you want to say those yin and yang, male and female things?" Xie Qian's old face wrinkled his eyebrows and mustache together.

Shen Xi thought to himself, even yesterday's events were known, needless to say, the emperor and the cabinet were staring at the prince's daily life every day, but whatever words and deeds the prince and the East Palace lecturer had, they would reach the emperor's ears.

"Xie Ge Lao reminded me."

Shen Xicai didn't bother to argue with Xie Qian on this kind of issue, he knew that it was impossible for Emperor Hongzhi to condemn him because of his previous words and deeds...... This is to help you teach your son, as long as you haven't stepped on the red line, you have to respect your son's husband, right? This is the most basic value orientation of Confucianism, the prince of heaven and earth, are you unreasonable?

Originally, Shen Xi could not say anything in front of Zhu Houzhao, but this was not conducive to the guidance of Zhu Houzhao's character, and he couldn't say it too bluntly, so he could only let Zhu Houzhao find out by himself through hints.

For children, only when they are full of curiosity will they yearn for and chase, and when they find out that "it's just so", they will naturally lose interest.

In Shen Xi's view, Zhu Houzhao's infatuation with women after he ascended the throne in history was entirely because when he was the crown prince, the elders had too many psychological shackles on him, and once he took power, he began to do whatever he wanted.

Before parting, Xie Qian suddenly said: "Next month, on the old man's birthday, do you have leisure?" ”

"Huh!?"

Shen Xi looked at Xie Qian curiously, was this going to invite him to the birthday banquet?

Xie Qian frowned slightly, and said with a straight face: "Do you think it's amazing?" It's just an ordinary family banquet, and outsiders will not be invited, you have a lot of cultivation for children, and you should invite you to a banquet. ”
