Chapter 13 Finally Got In

Zhu Houwei was still thinking about how he was discovered, and Master Yang continued, "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. Recently, there has been too little homework for His Highness, and it is too simple, so that His Highness still has such leisure to write novels. ”

No matter how it was discovered, you must pass this level first, otherwise if Master Yang really left a large number of obscure books for Zhu Houwei to read, Zhu Houwei would not dare to learn it by himself even if he was a master in later generations. Zhu Houwei immediately made an excuse, and Zhengse said, "Now the people are busy running around for life, if they have free time, it is gambling, the students listened to the guards say that the gambling houses in the capital are doing brisk business every day, and the students have written novels, which makes them have more pastimes in their leisure, and there are fewer people who go to gamble, and there are fewer people who are bankrupt by gambling." Moreover, the text of the novel is easy to understand, and the people are more likely to accept it, which also helps their literacy. After hearing this, Master Yang looked at Zhu Houwei with some amusement, and said unhurriedly: "Your Highness is really well-intentioned for the people." Zhu Houwei replied with some embarrassment, "Hehe, Master Yang has won the award, he has won the award." Master Yang said, "Okay, let's go in." After speaking, he didn't look at Zhu Houwei, and walked into the study hall first. Zhu Houwei was wiping cold sweat while following in.

In fact, Yang Tinghe didn't mean to blame Zhu Houwei, but just scared him and told him not to leave his homework behind. Although Yang Tinghe is 44 years old this year and Zhu Houwei's psychological age is not much different, but it has been 20 years since he stepped into the officialdom, and it is definitely the idol strength acting school that can come to this point, why do you say that, if you want to be an official in ancient times, especially a civil official, you must have good facial features, you can't lack arms and legs, and you must have grace in your actions and walks. Yang Tinghe is no exception, a middle-aged handsome guy, not to mention his bearing, so he frightened Zhu Houwei, and suddenly Yang Tinghe's back became more mysterious and majestic in Zhu Houwei's heart.

And in the Ming Dynasty, except for the crown prince, the other princes basically raised everything as pigs, and they didn't need to be literate and read. If you read more, you will have more thoughts, not counting the founding emperor in history, but everyone below the second generation has one thing in common, that is, they have all read books. Hongzhi asked Yang Tinghe to teach Zhu Houwei, in fact, he refused at first, but later found that Zhu Houwei was also very smart, and he could basically understand what he could teach, even easier than teaching the prince, Yang Tinghe slowly accepted this smart student who did not bother the teacher. Zhu Houwei writing some novels is not a big deal for Yang Tinghe, but if Zhu Houwei writes it, it will not work. And last night, Yang Tinghe read the novel written by this student with relish.

So how did Yang Tinghe find out? This starts with the little scholar who bought the first "Shooting the Condor" in Shilin Study. He is Yang Tinghe's son, Yang Shen, who is known as a prodigy in Shu. Yang Shen was born on the sixth day of the first month of November (December 8) in the first year of the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty (1488), he was intelligent and very studious since he was a child, and he was born in a scholarly family, so he received a good education from an early age. When he was seven years old, his mother taught him to read sentences and quatrains of the Tang Dynasty, and he could often recite them. At the age of eleven, he was able to write near-body poems. When he was 12 years old, he planned to write "Hanging Ancient Battlefield Text", there was an aphorism of "the soul of the green building broken red powder, the bone of the green moss in the daylight", when he was thirteen years old, he followed his father into the Beijing Division, and wrote "Farewell Poem through Weicheng", "Frost Leaf Fu", "Ma Weipo" poem, etc., his "Yellow Leaf Poem", sensational Jinghua. It has been two years since he came to the capital, and he continues to study at home, which can be regarded as a day of great progress in learning, and Yang Tinghe is also very satisfied with his son. But last night's dinner, Yang Shen had been waiting for his father in the dining room before, but this day was not, he wanted to call someone to call Yang Shen, and then thought about what books his son might be reading, so he missed the time, so he went to shout in person, but when he arrived at his son's room, the door was open and went directly to the study, just to see Yang Shen reading "Shooting the Condor", Yang Shenshu didn't close it and put it on the table, so he stood up and apologized to his father, Yang Tinghe said, "It's okay, what book are you reading, you are so fascinated by it." Yang Shen replied with some surprise: "It's a novel." Yang Tinghe was even more curious, he knew that his son had always liked to study the way of the sage, and the novel that could fascinate him so much that he forgot to eat seemed to be absolutely not simple, so he said righteously, "Okay, go to eat first, this book will be collected for you by the father, you have to read more about the way of the sage, and study the Bagu article diligently, if this book is not dross, it will not affect your future big competition, then I will give it to you." Yang Shen faced such righteous words, what else could his father say "yes". Then the book went to Yang Tinghe's hands. After eating, Yang Tinghe walked slowly to the study with the book, and in the dining room, Yang Shen's resentful gaze followed his father's back, and when his father left, he whispered, "I'll buy another tomorrow." He was halfway through it when he was suddenly interrupted, which was so unpleasant, and 15 or 6 years old happened to be the rebellious period of youth, so Yang Shen made such a decision.

It is said that Yang Tinghe was reading in the study was very fascinated, but when he saw the "Seventh Martial Arts Competition", he found that there were so many pages of text that were very familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere, and then he thought that he would go to those places a day and meet so many people, and this kind of trivial matter could still be remembered that it must have happened recently, and then he locked the target in the study hall of the Prince's East Palace. Then I remembered that day, I asked the two brothers to write out the article taught the day before, Zhu Houzhao was still writing, the teaching was different, Zhu Houwei's length was shorter, so he handed in the paper early, Yang Tinghe took it over and reviewed it to make sure it was accurate, and walked to Zhu Houzhao's side to see that his progress was wrong, and when he turned around, he just saw that Zhu Houwei was writing "competition to recruit relatives" with charcoal, and he didn't take it as a thing at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he concludes that this book is probably written by Zhu Houwei. Seeing the quality of this book, Yang Tinghe was still not sure that it was written by his 8-year-old student, so he lied to him the next morning, and as a result, the majesty left by the two brothers in the past two years, the completely unobscured image played a great role, and now Yang Tinghe already knows the author of this book.

Zhu Houwei walked behind Master Yang, and didn't notice the smile in his eyes, not only a prank that succeeded, but also a sense of relief that such a good student was. Then, Yang Tinghe didn't do anything, and continued to teach the two brothers as usual.

After school, the two Zhu Houwei brothers came to Kunning Palace and the queen, the younger sister took the younger sister to the Zhu Mansion after lunch, the afternoon is still Zhu Houzhao, the younger sister went to play, Zhu Houwei taught the mathematics course of four operations within 100, this is no way, most of the Ming people in this year are not sensitive to numbers, and they are more tired of learning, so the current teaching progress is relatively slow, but most of the students have mastered the three-character classic and pinyin.

In the evening, Zhu Houwei and the two brothers were waiting in the main hall, Zhu Houzhao was watching "Shooting the Condor", and Zhu Houwei was reading to his sister. Then I saw Liu Jin walk in with a smile on his face, came to the two of them and arched his hand and said, "Your Royal Highness, all the books sent today have been sold out, and the silver has been delivered, I don't know where to put it." Zhu Houzhao said: "How many are there?" "Back to the prince, a total of 500 hardcover editions and 1,000 ordinary editions have been sold in the past two days, a total of 4,000 taels, excluding the expenses of all parties, 2,200 taels have been sent now, and each bookstore needs more books." Although Zhu Houzhao doesn't pay much attention to money, he also feels that 2200 taels is not a small amount, and it has only been two days. There are about 2 million people in the capital, even if one of the 100 people buys it, there are still 20,000 copies, this younger brother is really good at making money, thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao said, "Put it in the treasury of the Zhu Mansion, so that the Zhu Mansion can run for about 4 months." Liu Jin replied, "Yes, the old slave will go and order." When Liu Jin went out, Zhu Houzhao smiled at his younger brother and said, "Second brother, the book you wrote in the past few days has earned 2,200 taels of silver in just 2 days, as your eldest brother, I will help you keep it." Zhu Houwei looked disdainful, "What do you want money for, can you go out to spend it, or what." Zhu Houzhao was depressed and speechless after hearing this. The little girl raised her head and looked at Zhu Houwei, and said coquettishly, "Good second brother, then you can give some children, you are going to start saving the dowry." The two brothers were depressed at this time, and finally Zhu Houwei said, "You are still young, you don't need it now, the second brother will use this money to make more money, and when the time comes, the second brother will definitely prepare a big dowry for you." "That's decided, you can't cheat, big brother will help me testify." Zhu Houzhao looked happy, "Well, the eldest brother will help you testify, if your second brother doesn't admit it by then, I, the eldest brother, will let people beat him." But why didn't you say let the eldest brother give you a dowry? The little girl looked at Zhu Houzhao innocently, stretched out two little chubby paws, and said, "Ten big brothers can't make money compared to a second brother, so it's better to find a second brother to ask for more." Zhu Houwei was happy when he heard it, and thought in his heart, "It's worthy of being my sister, she can look at people at such a young age, my brother is relieved" Zhu Houzhao stared at his sister dumbly, his expression was very exciting.

The three of them returned to the palace, and after eating, Zhu Houzhao told Hongzhi and Empress Zhang how much money they earned today and how to use it. The two of them had already gotten the news from Jinyiwei, so they weren't surprised, but Queen Zhang still said happily, "The book written by Hou Wei is good, and I like it tightly for my mother, and I should earn so much." Hongzhi said, "Although I have made some money, I don't take it too seriously, and it is most important to have a strategy to govern the country and secure the people." "Yes," Brother Zhu Houwei replied immediately. But the little girl was not happy, "Daddy, this is not good, the second brother has promised to prepare a big dowry for his son in the future," said with his hands in front of him in a circle, as if this is a great "The eldest brother also heard it, and can testify, the second brother does not make a lot of money, and the second brother will not have a big dowry" There is still a look of crying on his face. The two brothers were embarrassed, but Hongzhi and Empress Zhang laughed, and Hongzhi said first, "When your son gets married, your father will prepare a dowry for you, which is guaranteed to be older than your second brother's." Empress Zhang wanted to be serious, but she couldn't help but smile and said, "You girl, you want to marry when you're only this old, and you're not ashamed." Hongji glared at the two brothers, "I'm afraid that I will learn badly from some people." "Some people are even more embarrassed.
