Zhu Houwei returned to his Fuwang Mansion, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Steward Xiao with a smile on his face, Gonggong Huang, and Qingmei and Xiaohuan.

Everyone welcomed Zhu Houwei in, and Qingmei kept talking to Zhu Houwei along the way, Zhu Houwei was in a very good mood, and she would answer all questions, anyway, she just asked about the customs of Shandong, and there was nothing bad to say.

In the end, Steward Xiao stepped forward and grabbed Qingmei's back collar, Qingmei's smile immediately turned pitiful, and Zhu Houwei entered the bedroom.

The next day, Qingmei Xiaohuan didn't come to disturb Zhu Houwei, so he slept directly until the third pole of the sun.

Zhu Houwei sat up, stretched his waist, yawned, and saw Qingmei Xiaohuan enter the room, one dressed him, and the other rinsed his mouth and washed his face.

First, there was a set of boxing in the courtyard, and Hong Yu stood aside and watched.

Now that Hong Yu's identity has been clarified, there is no problem at all, and the identity of the deserter has also been settled by Zhu Houwei, and now he can be Zhu Houwei's guard with peace of mind.

However, this guy has a lot of personality, he didn't wear the high-end clothes of the palace guards, but a clean coarse cloth clothes, and a sword collected by Zhu Houwei was pinned to his waist.

Listening to Huang Gonggong, after he arrived at the palace yesterday, several guards in the palace looked at his thin body and questioned a little, but Hong Yu picked eighteen in a row, and none of them walked three moves in his hands, and everyone was convinced for a while, and originally wanted to have a good relationship, but looking at his cold face and taciturn temperament, everyone stayed away.

After Zhu Houwei finished fighting, he asked Xiang Hongyu, "How is it?" ”

Hong Yu said expressionlessly, "The boxing technique is good." ”

Zhu Houwei was depressed, which meant that he couldn't fight.

I found that it was almost noon, so I simply ate lunch.

Today's lunch Hong Yu was also called to eat together, Hong Yu also has a big heart, anyway, you are the master, I will do what you say, and when Zhu Houwei understands chopsticks, he will also eat without saying a word.

Although people are thin, they eat a lot.

Zhu Houwei also introduced Hong Yu to Steward Xiao, Qingmei Xiaohuan and Huang Gonggong.

Originally, the three women were a little unkind to this cold face, but when they heard his tragic story, they couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

Hong Yu lowered his head to eat, seemingly calm.

After eating, Zhu Houwei was drinking tea when he suddenly saw a person coming in the lobby in a hurry.

Hong Yu's whole body tightened at first, and then relaxed.

At a glance, it turned out to be Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao treated this as if this was his home, and Zhu Houwei also said to Huang Gonggong that Zhu Houzhao wanted to come, and there was no need to report it, where he wanted to go to this blessed palace.

Zhu Houwei squinted his eyes slightly, and asked lightly, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to Chaoyang Courtyard to have a look." Master Yang's sons are here, we have to talk about it, otherwise it will be miserable if we meet Master Yang. ”

Zhu Houwei nodded: "Let's go." ”

When he arrived at the door, he found that Zhu Houzhao's carriage was already waiting there, Zhu Houzhao got on the car first, and Zhu Houwei also followed the same one.

As for Qingmei and Xiaohuan, as well as Huang Gonggong, they got on another one.

Hong Yu knew how to ride, and it was no problem to ride a jog, so he gave him a horse to follow.

He has a very high rate of turning heads, and the clothes of the people accompanying him are more exquisite, which is considered to be the best cloth for civilians, only he has a coarse cloth, coupled with good looks, young appearance and gray hair, forming a special charm.

Zhu Houwei got into the car and saw that his sister-in-law and sister were there, both of them were also dressed in white Confucian robes, with square scarves on their heads, looking handsome and handsome, and their appearance greatly exceeded that of Zhu Houzhao's two brothers.

Zhu Houwei nodded at Bai Yulian and called out to his sister-in-law, who said hello, and Bai Yulian also nodded in return.

Sister Zhu Xiuning obviously didn't ask enough yesterday, and after getting in the car, she pulled Zhu Houwei again to ask about the trip to Shandong.

Zhu Xiuning asked, "Did you meet any interesting people when you went to Shandong this time?" ”

Zhu Houwei replied, "There are no interesting ones, but there are many unfortunate ones." ”

Zhu Xiuning looked at Zhu Houwei with a somewhat serious look, and stopped asking.

Zhu Houzhao spoke, "Who said no, it's just that he doesn't want to say it." Let me tell you. Didn't we go to Yanzhou to visit King Lu, and we met his granddaughter. The most interesting thing is that Hou Wei made fun of others during the day, and when he met at night, he found that he was a relative, a generation older than him, and he had to be called an aunt. The two didn't deal with each other, and Hou Wei was deflated several times along the way. ”

Zhu Houwei interrupted, "What's the matter, my name is aunt, aren't you the same?" Besides, a yellow-haired girl, how could I not deal with it, don't make a big fuss. ”

Zhu Xiuning pulled Zhu Houwei's sleeve, "Second brother, don't speak, listen to the eldest brother." ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Zhu Houwei proudly, you must know that this sister has always been closer to the second brother.

Zhu Houzhao immediately told Bai Yulian and Zhu Xiuning some things on the road.

The laughter of the three of them was heard from the carriage.

After Bai Yulian finished speaking, she asked, "Who is this Ma Sanniang?" ”

Zhu Houwei immediately said, "He is a strange person, he is one meter eight tall, and his waist circumference is also one meter eight." Outstanding martial arts, well, nothing else. ”

Bai Yulian and Zhu Xiuning both looked incredulous.

Zhu Houzhao said jokingly, "Oh, why is the Ma Sanniang you said different from what I saw." ”

Zhu Xiuning pulled Zhu Houwei's sleeve again, "Second brother, don't interrupt." ”

Zhu Houzhao began to talk about Ma Sanniang's deeds again, to be honest, Zhu Houzhao still admires this superior woman, and he has saved the two.

Sure enough, Bai Yulian and Zhu Xiuning were both fascinated, and they regretted that they couldn't see this heroine with their own eyes.

The story came to the last night of the two of them, and when it came to Zhu Houwei's toast, he shouted, "Sanniang, I respect you as a man." ”

Both women burst out laughing, and Zhu Xiuning also slapped Zhu Houwei's arm twice.

After the story was told, Bai Yulian, who was a person who had come over, looked at Zhu Houwei and said, "Houwei, if you are interested in this Sanniang, I will help you speak in front of your father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”

After Bai Yulian married into the East Palace, she got along for a long time, and she was very favored by Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, and she was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Zhu Houwei thanked Bumin with a look of respect, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about that heart." Not at all. ”

Bai Yulian looked at Zhu Houwei, who had a hard mouth, and no longer persuaded him.

Zhu Xiuning gossiped with a face: "Really? ”

Zhu Houwei "angry"

pinched his sister's rather textured cheek, and said in his mouth, "Really! ”

As a result, the hand was opened by my sister and received a white eye.

In the midst of the conversation, the carriage soon arrived at Chaoyang Courtyard.

Today's Chaoyang Courtyard is not like when it first opened, the number of people is small, and now it is overcrowded.

There are more than 20,000 students studying in the school, and this is just a Chaoyang Academy.

In the Gyeonggi area, there are a total of four Chaoyang Courtyards, and in order to distinguish them, the surrounding people divide these four schools into four courtyards, southeast, northwest and northwest, and Zhu Houzhao came to the North Courtyard.

There are more than 70,000 students in the four schools now, and the average monthly cost of all expenses will reach about 100,000 taels, and with the number of road construction teams rising sharply, more Chaoyang Yuan is being built, and it is expected that by the beginning of spring next year, Chaoyang Yuan will reach about 150,000 people.

A large amount of money is invested, and Zhu Houwei allocates some every month, and if it is in place at one time, the World Chamber of Commerce will break the chain of funds.

If there are more people, the monthly expenditure will also increase greatly, but Zhu Houwei has to carry this burden, which is the spiritual power of transforming the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the top priority.

The assassination in Texas was also related to the dramatic rise in the scale and fame of Chaoyangyuan.

There are only a total of how many people there are in the entire Daming County School, the Fuxue, and the Guozijian combined.

Now these 70,000 people have aroused the vigilance of the behind-the-scenes group, and when they wait until later, it will definitely cause them to panic.

The most disgusting thing is that the subject of nature in Chaoyang Academy is more controversial, and other subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, music, and painting are all speechless.

First of all, the language, in addition to the pinyin to be learned at the beginning, the three-character classic, the hundred family names, the Analects and everything will be learned, and there is no difference from ordinary readers, but Chaoyang Academy does not teach Bagu Wen.

Baguwen is used more for the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, if people don't learn it, it's not for the imperial examination, you can't force people to learn it, in case you really come to participate in the imperial examination after learning well, your heart is even more responsive.

As for the other subjects, they are all within the scope of the six arts of the gentleman mentioned by Confucius Sage, and there is nothing out of the ordinary at all.

In short, Chaoyang Academy is to enable students to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and labor in an all-round way, and to be completely impeccable.

And Chaoyang Yuan does not need tuition, provides accommodation, food, such a good thing The imperial court does not have a big book, it is good to decorate the prosperous scene, this is not touchable.

Now the strategy of the imperial court is to block, and there is no Chaoyang Yuan in the "Ming Pao" and official documents and edicts.

As for the "People's Daily", one is not too exciting, and the other is that the teachers are insufficient, so there is no hype.

Today, the North Courtyard is the largest of the four colleges, and the president is Bai Shizhong, the head of the "People's Daily".
