In the last years of the emperor's reign, the style of official learning began to appear, but the number was not large, and the popularity was not too large.

And in the clan gate, ethnology has risen. Especially among the Kanto Shi people, the popularity of ethnography has been great. Of course, most of the real children of the family are invited by the family and taught privately. Most of the people who serve as gentlemen are today's celebrities, and ordinary scholars are not qualified to serve as teachers. Ethnology, also known as village studies, is mainly based on enlightenment education, based on ethnic villages, in order to properly cultivate some reserve talents.

The village school is almost a semi-public surname, and the students recruited are not very strict.

Being able to read and keep an account is basically enough. If you want to get a higher education, you have to have a certain chance.

The Zheng family also has a village school and is quite famous in Xingyang.

If it is really for literacy and accounting, with Zheng Shi'an's ability, he can easily send Yanqing to study inside, so why come to Luoyang?

Zheng Shi'an knew that Zheng Renji just wanted to use this way to calm his emotions.

However, Zheng Sai'an can also refuse, but in this way, I am afraid that it will make Zheng Renji even more disgusted with him. He bowed down and thanked him, and then said goodbye and left.

――――――――――――――――――――

Later, Zheng Yanqing heard that Zheng Renji rewarded Cui Daolin with dozens of whips, while Cui Sheng was slapped with a hundred slaps and beaten so that several teeth fell out.

Xu Shiji did give the letter to Cui Sheng, but when he gave it to Cui Sheng, he said a word.

"The old housekeeper said that this letter is very important, let Steward Cui read it immediately."

The word 'let' has a taste of command. Cui Sheng became angry when he heard it!

You are an old man with incomplete bodies, and now you have been assigned to the Grange, and you dare to run over and order our masters?

So the letter was still on the desk, and Cui Sheng went to have fun and left it behind.

When Cui Daolin returned, he was very drunk. After waking up the next day, Cui Sheng didn't warn him, and he didn't pay attention.

Later, when Cui Daolin asked people to clean the desk, he threw away the letter with him!

In short, Cui Daolin and his son are afraid that they will not dare to be arrogant anymore for a period of time.

Yan Qing is a pity that he didn't take this opportunity to get rid of the Cui family's father and son, and there will definitely be right and wrong in the future. But he also knew that it was not so simple to get rid of the Cui family's father and son. With Mrs. Cui here, it will be difficult to succeed for a while.

Bear with me!

Anyway, he is still young, and he Zheng Yanqing is still young, and he has time to fight with Cui Daolin and his son.

Moreover, he didn't bother to pay attention to Cui Daolin's father and son, because when Zheng Shi'an came back, he told him that he was going to study soon......

"Sudouling? How does it sound like a Hu name, does Luoyang have this family? ”

Zheng Shi'an smiled: "Why not? The surname Sudouling is indeed the surname of the Hu people. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, after Emperor Wei Xiaowen moved from the Saiwai to 38 surnames and 98 departments to settle in Luoyang, Sudouling changed to the surname Dou, understand. ”

Dou surname?

Zheng Yanqing lost his voice and said: "But is that the surname Dou of the Duke of Anfeng County?" ”

Zheng Sai On nodded, indicating that it was correct.

This surname Dou is a serious Han family.

As early as the Han Dynasty, the surname Dou was divided into Qinghe Guanjin Dou and Fufeng Pingling Dou, and many well-known big names emerged.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the wife of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Liu Heng, was a person surnamed Dou in Guanjin of Qinghe, that is, the grandmother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Dou. Empress Dowager Dou's elder brother Dou Changjun died early, and his son Dou Pengzu was the Nanpi Marquis of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty; And Empress Dowager Dou's younger brother Dou Shaojun was named Marquis of Zhangwu, and Dou Shaojun's nephew, that is, the extremely famous Marquis of Wei Qi, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dou Ying.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the surname of Fufeng Pingling Dou had a famous minister Dou Rong.

Dou Rong's great-granddaughter is the Empress Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the father of this Empress Dou is the general Dou Wu at that time.

When Cao Jie and other eunuchs were in trouble, Dou Wu's identity as a foreign relative, united with the dynasty and the scholars, and prepared to kill the eunuchs, but unfortunately leaked the news. Dou Wu was killed because of this, and the Dou clan was exiled outside the Saiwai, that is, the ancestors of the Sudouling clan. The reason why the surname Dou was changed to Sudouling was because of the threat of Tuoba Liwei, and it had to be changed to the surname Hu.

It was not until Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang and ordered the Waihu people to settle in Heluo, that the surname of the ancestor Dou was restored.

Zheng Yanqing said that the prince of Anfeng County is a big man.

This person, called Dou Rongding, is also the son of Dou Shan in the third ancestral house surnamed Dou in Sudouling. He has been friends with Yang Jian since he was a child, and when he was Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty, he prepared himself for Qianniu, and was named a former general for his merits in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Dou Rongding's wife is the sister of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian. So when Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Dou Rongding supported Yang Jian.

Back then, when Sudouling returned, there were a total of five brothers.

The third Dou Yue, the fourth Dou Shan, and the fifth Dou Chi all left behind great military exploits, so later generations used to call the surname Douling as the third ancestral house surnamed Dou. Dou Yue's son is Dou Yi, the Shenwu Duke of the Sui Dynasty. And Dou Yi's daughter is even more famous, married to Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, who is known as 'Queen Taimu' in later generations. Of course, the most famous of the Dou family at this time is Dou Rongding. Although Dou Rongding is dead, his son Dou Kang, who is the governor of Youzhou, is also a big man in the real power faction.

"Speaking of which, isn't the Dou family the same as our Zheng family, a family of gate lords?"

Zheng Shi'an nodded with a smile and shook his head again.

"Let's put it that way...... If you talk about years and months, I am afraid that the time of this Dou family is the oldest. It has been 800 years since the Qinghe Guanjin Dou surname. However, the Guanjin Dou clan and the Pingling Tomb are both very Hu Hua, and the bloodline has long been impure, how can it be compared with my Zheng family?

Guanjin Dou clan, since the Northern Qi Tianping three years, after Dou Tai died in battle, has been green and yellow, and has long been silent.

And the Pingling Dou clan is the most powerful, and it is not a pure scholar...... Hehe, in fact, the Dou family is quite embarrassed now, in the eyes of Wuchuan people, the Dou family is a scholar family; But in the eyes of the scholars, the Dou family is from Wuchuan and refuses to admit it.

It's just that the luck of the Dou family is good, during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Duchess Shenwu was the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty; After the emperor, Dou Rongding became the emperor's brother-in-law. However, the energy of the Dou family is not small, especially the granddaughter of Dou Laosan, who married Tang Guogong, and her position has become more and more stable...... Yanqing, if you don't want to go to Doujia Village to study, I can also push it off. ”

I didn't expect that the matter of the Dou family was so complicated!

Zheng Yanqing doesn't mind having a relationship with the Dou family, because behind the Dou family, not only is there the support of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but more importantly, the Tang Duke Li Yuan is the son-in-law of the Dou family. Perhaps, you can take this opportunity to get in touch with Li Yuan?

Well, that's a good idea!

Yan Qing had long wanted to have a relationship with Li Yuan.

Especially when he learned that Li Yuan's eldest son, Li Jiancheng, actually had a marriage contract with the Zheng family, he began to think about it.

It's just that after waiting for five years, Li Jiancheng didn't even see a figure, let alone Li Yuan.

Now there is the Dou family...... Well, it's time to give it a try.

Although it is only a village study, it can't enter the core of the Dou family. But with such a relationship, it will be easy to talk in the future.

Zheng Yanqing understands the principle of taking precautions.

I don't know, how old is that wise and martial Tang Taizong now?

"Yanqing, why don't you speak?"

"Ah, grandpa, what did you just ask me?"

Zheng Yanqing was so distracted that he didn't hear Zheng Shi'an's question.

Zheng Shi'an smiled: "I just said that if you don't want to go to the Douling family, I can go to the eldest prince now." ”

"Go, why not?"

That's right, Zheng Yanqing knows a lot of poetry and songs, but the problem is that his understanding of the culture of the Sui and Tang dynasties is still very weak. You can learn it through the village, and you can also understand it more deeply. The most important thing is that I can take this opportunity to get closer to the Li family, why not?

Zheng Shi'an saw that Yanqing's attitude was resolute, so he didn't say anything more.

After a few days, Zheng Renji sent someone to the Grange and told Zheng Shi'an that Zheng Yanqing could go to Dou's house to study......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Brother Shiji, tell me the story of the Three Kingdoms again."

When Zheng Yanqing began his enlightenment education, Xu Shiji was living freely in the old mansion of the Zheng family in Luoyang City.

He was originally older than Zheng Hongyi, so he automatically played the role of the eldest brother.

It's just that Zheng Hongyi has been pampered since he was a child, although his mother died early, Zheng Renji only has a son like him.

Therefore, even Mrs. Cui is very fond of Zheng Hongyi.

Wanting to make Zheng Hongyi bow his head, Xu Shiji thought for a long time and decided to come up with his nirvana: The Story of the Three Kingdoms.

His stories of the Three Kingdoms were all heard from Zheng Yanqing. After a few days, Zheng Hongyi was obedient to him, but the little inventory in Xu Shiji's stomach was gone...... Yan Shigu is a strict teacher, and it is usually difficult for Xu Shiji to go out, let alone go to Zheng Yanqing and find out new stories. In fact, he wants to hear new stories more than Zheng Hongyi.

Zheng Hongyi pleaded with Xu Shiji's hand in a milky voice.

Xu Shiji had a bitter face, and he had no choice but to say: "Hongyi, it's not that I don't want to talk to you, it's really ...... I'll tell you the truth, all the stories I told you were heard from other people. ”

Zheng Hongyi asked curiously: "Brother Shiji, who did you listen to the story?" ”

Xu Shiji hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I said, you are not allowed to tell others...... Actually, I heard it from Yanqing. ”

"Yanqing? Who's that? ”

Zheng Hongyi didn't know who Zheng Yanqing was, even if he and Zheng Yanqing slept in the same carriage back then.

It's no wonder that Zheng Renji dislikes Zheng Shi'an, and he doesn't even like Zheng Yanqing.

And Mrs. Cui, she didn't even know that there was such a person as Zheng Yanqing, how could Zheng Hongyi know who Zheng Yanqing was?

Xu Shiji said: "Yanqing, is the grandson of your old housekeeper. ”

"Which old butler? Cui Daolin...... How did I not know, he also has a grandchild? ”

"It's not Cui Daolin, it's Old Butler Zheng."

Zheng Hongyi suddenly realized, nodded and said, "I know the old housekeeper Zheng, but my father and mother don't seem to like him, saying that he is a gelding...... Is the grandson of the old housekeeper also surnamed Zheng? How old is he and why not join us? ”

Xu Shiji frowned and said softly: "Hongyi, the old housekeeper is a good person, you are not allowed to be rude." Otherwise, if Yanqing doesn't tell stories in the future, we won't have to listen to it...... Brother Yanqing is about the same age as you, and he is very smart and a very good person. You'll know if you see him in the future, he's ...... It's very powerful, and it's amazing. ”

"Zheng Yanqing, Zheng Yanqing?"

Zheng Hongyi tilted his head and memorized the three words of Zheng Yanqing in his heart.

At this moment, a crisp bell was heard. This is Yan Shigu's habit, carrying a small bell with him.

Whenever he was in class, he had to sit down in the house as soon as he rang the bell.

Otherwise, he will hit the palm of his hand with a ring ruler. Zheng Hongyi and Xu Shiji were both beaten by Yan Shigu's ruler, so they immediately trotted back to the study.

"Today, we will continue to talk about the Cangjie chapter ......"

Yan Shigu saw Xu Shiji and Zheng Hongyi sitting down, smiling, ready to speak.

To be honest, for these two students, Yan Shigu was very satisfied. In particular, Xu Shiji can often draw inferences from one case and is extremely intelligent. It's a pleasure to be gifted by the best. Yan Shi has a long history of ancient family learning, so he attaches great importance to education.

But it's also strange, I don't know if it's because I haven't heard the story or what, Zheng Hongyi, who has always been well-behaved in Pingyue, suddenly made trouble in class, "Sir, the Cangjie chapter is so boring, it's not as interesting as the story of Taoyuan's three knots." ”

Xu Shiji was startled when he heard this.

How could this little ancestor dare to speak in front of his husband? Didn't you tell him just now, don't tell anyone about it?

Sure enough, Yan Shigu's face sank, "Hongyi, what are the allusions to this Taoyuan tie-up?" ”
