Chapter 841: Lessons from the Order

For the people, the winter solstice solar term is just a daughter-in-law making a pair of shoes for her in-laws, which is not very grand, but for the imperial court, it is one of the three most important festivals of the year. In these three days, the officials who used to only wear official clothes and regular clothes often changed into formal auspicious clothes and came to the door with red papers, just like New Year's Day. This ten-day holiday, the time of visiting guests has naturally been extended, but I saw that the street clothes were fluttering and the cars and horses were continuous, which was also a beautiful scenery on the street.

Since the winter solstice, every household has hung a picture of 99 to eliminate the cold. The common people put a blank paper on the wall, drew a diagram of the nine palaces, and drew a circle in the grid every day; As for the Chao Gui's family, it is much more exquisite, most of them are to personally draw a plum tree, for the petals of ninety-nine eighty-one, dyed one petal every day, and when the petals are dyed red, then out of ninety-nine, winter will come. Now that the winter solstice ten-day holiday is over, the scene of each other's visits and traffic on the street is no longer visible, and there are more scenes of children clapping their hands and singing ninety-nine songs when they play.

"In 1929, I didn't make a move; 3927, the fence blows the grate; Forty-nine thirty-six, sleeping at night is like sleeping in the open; Five-nine-forty-five, every family piles salt tigers; Sixty-nine fifty-four, heating in the mouth; Seventy-nine sixty-three, pedestrians put clothes on the sheet; Eighty-nine seventy-two, cats and dogs looking for shade; Ninety-nine eighty-one, the poor man has suffered after he has been sinner, and he has to stretch out his feet to sleep, and mosquitoes and fleas come out. ”

On the first day of the re-entry of the hundred officials, Zhu Ning also entered the palace by car. However, because of Du Juan's request, she deliberately spared a big circle and went around the gatehouse alley. When she returned the same way after reading it, listening to the song of Xiao'er on the road, she couldn't help frowning thoughtfully, and Mother Feng smiled beside her: "This folk vulgar word sounds interesting." ”

"Isn't that interesting...... Compared with the noble dynasty in gorgeous clothes, this is the real life of the people. Therefore, living such a day is still sad and sad, that is what I don't know! Zhu Ning pursed his lips, and then smiled, "It's a pity that there are so many people who live a life of fine clothes and jade food, but they are not satisfied!" ”

Mother Feng knew that Zhu Ning had touched the string in her heart, so she hurriedly persuaded a few words, but Zhu Ning waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about that, and wait for the boss to come back." Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that I happened to be in the palace that day, the day the small academy opened, I would have really wanted to go and see it. Zhang Yue took so much painstaking effort, but it was really a painstaking effort, you must know how the gentleman came here, it was not that she was spoiled by a lot of girls and mothers-in-law, and when she entered the Guozi Prison in the future, she was already all a waste that could not be trained! While you are still young, let Mr. teach him a good lesson, even if he may not become a talent, he must know what constraints are! ”

"But many of them will inherit the title in the future, and most of them will not listen to the rules, even if the county lord you promise the young lady of the Zhang family, they have been taught a lesson, and when they hold the authority in the future, Anzhi will not retaliate?"

"A teacher for one day, a father for life, there are people who hold grudges, there will be people who are grateful, after all, not everyone in this world knows what to do. What's more, the British prince has a generous temperament, and with him, others will be more restrained. Although Zhang Yue gave up the name of genealogy, these things have been thought out very well, so you don't have to worry. ”

Hearing Zhu Ning say this, Feng's mother responded busily and stopped being verbose. The car went straight from Dong'an Gate to Donghua Gate, and then stopped. Mother Feng hurriedly got out of the car, personally helped Zhu Ning down, and saw that someone walked straight inside with two immature-looking maids, and she couldn't help but catch up with the first few steps: "County Lord, do you really want to let Yingshu and Zhu'er go out to get married?" They've been with you for so many years. ”

"It's because I've been following them for so many years, and they're all smart and clear, that I have to find a good family for them. Knowing that it is my maidservant, their husbands and their husbands do not dare to treat them slowly, and those they learn from me to teach their children, maybe there will be a few talents in the future, why should they leave people around and be slaves and maidservants on behalf of them? Can't they come back to see me when they're outside? ”

Zhu Ning knew what Mother Feng wanted to say again, so she waved her hand, and when she saw her sigh, she bent her knees and retreated, and then she continued to walk forward. She has been a man's cool temperament since she was a child, and now that she has seen through it, she naturally won't bother with those trivial things, if she doesn't marry, her henchman can't marry, what kind of rule is this?

Although the Donghua Gate is already a palace city, because there is the Wenhua Hall used by the emperor to summon the courtiers, and the Wenyuan Pavilion is behind it, there are cabinet duty rooms and system rooms along the south palace wall, and the six departments on the other side also often come and go, so in addition to the eunuchs who come and go, there are also foreign officials in and out, naturally, these foreign officials will also meet Zhu Ning who enters the palace from the Donghua Gate from time to time. Yang Shiqi and others, who are a lot older, are used to this, but when the young talents of the six disciplines see this Chen Liujun Lord, they inevitably look at it twice and think about it for a while.

It's a pity that the county lord has won the sacred heart, and although he is rich and noble when he marries his family, his family's future has to be ruined!

It's just that Zhu Ning has never paid attention to these people - those who can be on duty in these places in the palace city have no ambition or ambition, not to mention that she has long passed the age of a young girl's pregnancy. Thinking about what he wanted to say all the way, when he entered Renshou Palace, a female official had already stepped forward, personally untied the white fox fur cloak outside for Zhu Ning, and said softly: "Princess Jiaxing just came and offered an embroidered picture, and she is talking to the Queen Mother in Dongnuan Pavilion at this time, and the county lord is here to appreciate it." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang has three sons and one daughter for Zhu Gaochi, although Princess Jiaxing is the only daughter, but because of her cowardly and shy temperament, she does not stand out among the princesses because of the eldest daughter. In addition, Empress Dowager Zhang had to maintain Zhu Gaochi's position as the crown prince in the past, and when she became the queen mother, she had to take care of state affairs, so she was very strict with Princess Jiaxing.

Not only that, the princess of Jiaxing and the concubine's Nianlu are no different from other princesses, they all take 2,000 stones of rice and wheat from the Nanjing warehouse - and Zhu Ning, although he has repeatedly insisted, because Empress Dowager Zhang said that Emperor Taizong had already ordered it, so although the princess is not allowed, Nianlu also has 2,000 stones, in addition, the annual silk, yarn, Luo, silk, winter and summer cloth, cotton, etc. are all times that of the princess.

Moreover, although she is young, she is the same generation as the Empress Dowager Zhang, so disposed of, everyone in the palace praises the Empress Dowager and the emperor for their fairness, and the prince and princess dare not have any objections, and the princess of Jiaxing is also very respectful on weekdays. Therefore, when she heard that Princess Jiaxing was coming, she groaned slightly, and was hesitating not to go in to disturb the mother and daughter, but a female official had already come out.

"The county lord is here? The Queen Mother just mentioned that I was about to send someone out to ask, please go in quickly. ”

With these words, Zhu Ning no longer hesitated and followed the female official inside. After passing through the hall, there were already palace people waiting for the pine-colored curtain, she lowered her head and crossed the threshold, and saw that the princess of Jiaxing had already stood up. After a closer look, Zhu Ning didn't know if it was his illusion or if it was true, but he saw that Princess Jiaxing was a little thinner than when they met before, and although her face was covered with thick fat powder, she still revealed a sickly paleness.

After seeing the Empress Dowager Zhang, and hearing Princess Jiaxing timidly call Aunt Ning, Zhu Ning took her hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with concern: "This is already the winter solstice, you should also take a good supplement." If you don't want to take medicine, I still have several medicinal recipes there, and a few recipes taught by others, so you can go back and let the next person draw a gourd and make it in the same way. ”

"A-Ning is very right, you should take care of your conditioning."

Empress Dowager Zhang also nodded, and seeing that Princess Jiaxing was busy standing up and thanking her, she suddenly frowned imperceptibly. After all, it is her own daughter, she also summoned the mother who married in the palace, and asked about the harmony of the husband and wife, and the mothers always replied that the princess was gentle and humble, and the husband and wife respected each other like guests, and she also thought that the princess of the golden branch and jade leaf had a softer personality, and the husband and wife could naturally get along well. Now it seems that her daughter is not only soft, but also weak and bulliable.

Just now when the mother and daughter were alone, Princess Jiaxing asked and answered a few words, and as soon as Zhu Ning came, she was even more silent. After another quarter of an hour, she got up and said goodbye, and Zhu Ning saw her biting her lip, as if she had something else to say, so she excused herself and took her hand to send her out. When she arrived outside, she saw that Princess Jiaxing was silent, so she had to whisper her nickname: "Changle, but is there anything wrong?" ”

Princess Jiaxing froze there all of a sudden, looked left and right, and then she said in a voice lower than the cry of mosquitoes: "Aunt Ning, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

"If there is something, don't hide it, if you don't say it, how will others know?" Zhu Ning saw that Princess Jiaxing was just silent, and she was a little helpless, so she had to squeeze her hand gently, "You have to sit with me when you are free, although you are a princess, you can't sit at home all day long, right?" The right should come out and scatter your heart. ”

"Yes, thank you Aunt Ning."

Faced with such a wood-like golden branch and jade leaf, although Zhu Ning was concerned, he could only watch people go out. When she turned around the East Warm Pavilion, she saw that the Empress Dowager Zhang was already reclining on the pear flower couch, and a palace maid was kneeling beside her and beating her legs gently, so she walked over from the side. Empress Dowager Zhang raised her eyes and saw her coming, so she asked directly, "Did she tell you?" ”

Seeing that Zhu Ning shook her head, Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "Zhan Ji Yingguo, Zhan Yong is humble, Zhan Rong is virtuous, only Changle is such a submissive character." Although the princess's arrogance is a vice of the Han and Tang Dynasties, she is also too ...... Although Jing Yuan is said to be after the eunuch gate, it is said that he is not good at reading and prefers to play, presumably she is also bitter and can't say it. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang hated that iron could not become steel, Zhu Ning sighed secretly when she heard it, but then she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, and after a slight sigh, she said: "Speaking of reading, has the Queen Mother heard of that small academy?" ”

"Is it the original Zhang family study? If you change the soup or not the medicine, he will change his name. Empress Dowager Zhang had already heard Fan Hong, the eunuch of ceremonies, mention it, sat up straighter at this time, and asked Zhu Ning again, "Fan Hong has never been there personally, but he listened to what the children below said, you are good friends with the Du family, you must have gone to see?" ”

"When I came here today, I deliberately went over there to take a look, and it was naturally difficult to get in inside, but I felt relieved to hear the sound of reading outside Lang Lang." Zhu Ning picked up a blanket from the side and put it on Empress Dowager Zhang's lap, and then said, "This child should be taught from an early age, and the same is true of Confucianism and scriptures." The family of the prince and the noble is extremely wealthy, and it is still early to teach the bow horse, but the teachers who are invited to teach the school are often after the age of ten years, so it is often inevitable that there will be some. Nowadays, this small academy only accepts children under the age of fifteen, and it is just because they can raise their children well, and they will not make jokes when they enter the country to study in the future. In addition, if I have more contact with those poor teenagers, I am afraid that I can learn some good habits. Educating talents should start from children, and I strongly agree with this statement. ”

"Yucai should ......start from a young age," Empress Dowager Zhang muttered, and then nodded approvingly, "Yes, you laid a foundation when you were a teenager, and it is not easy to go down the wrong path when you are older." I heard that the eldest son of the British duke, the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Baoding, and the eldest of Zhang Yue's family, how many children go to the small academy every other day to study? Several of them are good tutors, but when they encounter those who are violent and unruly, can the gentleman of the small academy dare to teach a lesson? You must know that even the rope hall of the Guozijian never dared to hit the bamboo board of the noble children! ”

"It's really a big problem...... However, when these children are older, some of them can participate in the scientific examination and enter the Fuzhou County School, and those noble children can continue to enter the national prison, which is really a great thing for the imperial court to cultivate talents. Besides, Zhang Yue is not the first time to offend people, there is the eldest son of the British duke, the sea god needle, and it is a big deal that those arrogant noble children will not accept it in the future. ”

Zhu Ning said indifferently, but Empress Dowager Zhang pondered carefully, and then quickly understood, so she said angrily: "Okay, A-Ning, you have also learned to sell Guanzi, and you only say it when you have something to say!" That's it, this is indeed a good thing to educate talents, and I don't bother to listen to the official for a while to impeach this noble son for bullying the people, and that noble son is mourning and drinking...... I'll give you a ring ruler when I go back, and let the gentleman of the small academy discipline those noble children well, so that the ears of the emperor and the emperor can be quiet! ”

After saying this, seeing that Zhu Ning was already smiling, Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but be a little stunned: "It's a pity that Jing Yuan is already sixteen years old, and he has already been delayed...... His father's official reputation is good, why is his son so ......"

As soon as Zhang Yue returned home on the evening of this day, he saw the oily fir ring ruler in Du Juan's hand, and a bronze medal was placed together with this ring ruler. Sweeping his eyes over the bronze medal, he saw that it seemed to be a seal.

It is the Queen Mother's private seal. Just let them know that it was given by the Queen Mother, so as not to alarm too widely. ”

Since Zhu Ning had already explained, Du Juan explained a few more words to Zhang Yue, and said with a smile: "Sister Ning also gave an extra instruction, fight hard, don't neglect discipline, this is a lesson by order." It's just that there are too few schools like this in the world, otherwise there will be a few fewer bastards who will harm the golden branches and jade leaves. ”

Zhang Yue guessed that Zhu Ning's words were inspired by feelings, but he felt wonderful, but after a little thought, it passed. sat down next to his wife, and saw that the others had already avoided the opportunity, and he was about to move his hands and feet, but Du Juan smiled and dodged to the side.

"It's not time to turn off the lights yet, but it's not old! There is another one, Sister Ning said that another lady in the palace was diagnosed with pregnancy, and the Queen Mother has ordered someone to take care of her. ”
