It took a few days to arrange Gu Tianjie to the military academy, after all, the military academy is not Zhao Yan's alone, even if he wants to arrange people inside, he needs to report to Zhao Shu, but Zhao Shu has already handed over the military academy to Zhao Yan to deal with, so he generally only needs to report to Zhao Shu, and everything goes very smoothly.
In addition, the lecture is still going on, and there are more and more people listening to the lecture, some of them are just out of curiosity, so they came to listen to it a few times, and after going back, they can be regarded as having something to talk about, but there are also some people who are really interested, and they come to listen to the lecture almost rain or shine every day, and as time goes by, there are more and more people who come to listen to the lecture sincerely, and many of them have arrived here from thousands of miles away.
With more and more people coming to listen to the lectures, the open space in front of the microscopic door slowly formed a bazaar, at the beginning it was mainly to sell some food and the four treasures of the study, but as time went by, Shangshuizhuang and other nearby villagers also like to come to the bazaar to take a turn, so that there are more and more types of goods to buy and sell in the bazaar, and the scale is naturally getting bigger and bigger, even Zhao Yan likes to go around the bazaar after the lecture, or buy some snacks, Or buy some delicate trinkets to take back to the little bean sprouts and the snow girls.
This morning, after Zhao Yan finished his class at Qingshui Elementary School, he also did not go back to the other courtyard, but walked to the market to buy some things, although it was only noon, and there was still some time before the lecture in the microscope in the afternoon. However, the people who came to listen to the lecture had already arrived early, and even most of them had eaten directly at the bazaar, and then hurried to take their seats.
As soon as Zhao Yan came to the bazaar, those who came to the bazaar to eat immediately stood up and saluted him, and Zhao Yan couldn't return the salute one by one, so he could only smile. In fact, he has mentioned more than once when he lectures that he doesn't need to salute when he sees himself in other places, but the respect for teachers in this era of the Great Song Dynasty has been engraved in the bones of these scholars, especially those who really like what Zhao Yan said, and they have respect for his sincerity, so every time he meets him outside, he will salute, and Zhao Yan said it a few times without effect, so he can only let it go.
Compared with those who listened to the lectures, the vendors selling things in the bazaar also had great respect for Zhao Yan. Because they also know that the reason why this bazaar can be formed is all because of Zhao Yan's lectures, just because Zhao Yan's status is too high, they don't dare to greet Zhao Yan, but whenever Zhao Yan buys something, they will try to be as cheap as possible, although Zhao Yan knows this. But it's not pretentious, and every time I accept it with a smile. It's not that he's greedy for this little bargain, but he can't bear to refuse people's kindness.
Although the market in front of the microscopic gate has not been formed for a long time, because of the large flow of people, the exhibition is also very fast, and many vendors have built temporary shops in the open space, and some vendors have had disputes because of the shop pΓΉ. Later, it was Zhao Yan who sent people from the palace to help the traders re-plan, and asked the Kaifeng County government to send a few officials, which made the market seem much more regular.
But today, Zhao Yan just came to the market, and before he could find what he wanted to buy, he heard someone in a carriage next to him shouting to him: "Third brother." I didn't expect to meet you here. β
Zhao Yan turned his head to look when he heard the voice, but saw a woman in her twenties sitting inside from the open window of the carriage, looking at him with a smile on her face. And Zhao Yan also showed a surprised expression when he saw the other party, and immediately took a few steps forward and saluted: "Sister, why are you here?" β
The woman in the carriage is Zhao Yan's eldest sister Princess Dening, speaking of which Zhao Yan and Princess Dening have not had many opportunities to meet, but her impression is excellent, in addition, the Duke of Dening has a good family, and the property of the princess's mansion is very large, Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang have a lot of business dealings with her.
"Giggles, I'm here today to visit your third brother!" When Princess Dening said this, she suddenly reached out and pulled a five or six-year-old boy from behind her and pointed at Zhao Yan and said, "Shu'er, this is your third uncle, hurry up and call your uncle!" β
The little boy named Shu'er looked a little shy, glanced at Zhao Yan timidly, and then called out "uncle" in an inaudible voice, and then immediately hid behind Princess Dening.
"This ...... Is this your child, big sister? I didn't expect them to grow so big? Zhao Yan was also very surprised at this time and said, Princess Dening is actually only twenty-one or twelve years old, but now the children are already five or six years old, so it can be seen that she was only fifteen or sixteen at most when she gave birth, but this is also relatively normal, after all, the women of the Great Song Dynasty have married early, Princess Dening is still late, some girls are thirteen or fourteen years old, and there are countless women who have had a difficult birth, which is also the main reason why Cao Ying and them founded the Late Marriage Society.
"Shu'er is the eldest son of me and the horse, the second is a daughter, now only three years old, the youngest is also a son, now less than a year old, but unfortunately you and Brother Wei both went to Liao, the child was born when the two of you didn't go, so you still owe our third child a meeting gift." Princess Dening laughed again.
"Little brother should be damned, he forgot such an important matter, and he will definitely make up for it when he sees his nephew in the future!" Zhao Yan also patted his head when he heard this, and said, when they met in the palace the year before last, Princess Dening was indeed pregnant, but unfortunately he went to Liao with Zhao Ji later, and he went for a year, not only missed Princess Dening giving birth, but even Xue Ning'er was born Siyue and failed to catch up.
"Giggles, I'm kidding you, Sister Ying'er has already sent it on your behalf at that time." Princess Dening suddenly smiled at this time, her temperament is lively, which is a bit similar to Princess Shoukang, but she is a steady housekeeper, and she simply concentrates the advantages of her two younger sisters on herself.
"By the way, third brother, get in the car quickly, I came today to discuss something serious with you!" After Princess Dening laughed, she suddenly said solemnly.
Zhao Yan originally wanted to buy something, but when he saw Princess Dening's appearance, he immediately agreed to board the carriage, and then Princess Dening instructed the coachman to drive the carriage to Zhao Yan's courtyard, along the way, Zhao Yan was very interested in the little nephew who was hiding behind Princess Dening, and deliberately made a few grimaces at him, but the little guy quickly became familiar with Zhao Yan, and the voice of calling uncle was much louder than at the beginning.
After entering the living room, Princess Dening looked at Shu'er, who was held by Zhao Yan, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Shu'er and the third brother are really fateful, speaking of which this child is good at everything, but he is a little timid, and he usually doesn't dare to speak out when he sees people, but he is much bolder with you with the third brother." β
"Children are like this, and in addition, eldest sister, do you and your brother-in-law rarely accompany Shu'er?" Zhao Yan hugged Shu'er on his lap, and then asked with a smile, for the education of children, he is definitely an expert in this era, I remember that in order to do a good job in teaching, he read a lot of books in this area.
"Hey, how do you know, third brother?" Princess Dening couldn't help but speak in surprise when she heard Zhao Yan's words, "I and the horse are usually busy, so Shu'er has always been carried by the nurse, and I and the horse do rarely accompany him." β
"That's it, Shu'er has not been accompanied by her parents since she was a child, and for safety reasons, Shu'er should not have other playmates, so her courage will naturally become smaller and smaller, and even more and more withdrawn, which is not a good thing for children." Zhao Yan said sternly at the moment, educating children is a big deal, and there is no sloppiness at all.
Hearing Zhao Yan say so strictly, Princess Dening was also taken aback, and immediately said with an anxious face: "I didn't expect it to be so strict, third brother, you have to help your sister, don't let Shu'er become too withdrawn." β
"Haha, eldest sister, don't worry, in fact, it is very simple to solve Shu'er's problem, either you take more time to accompany him, or find him more playmates, and after a long time, Shu'er will naturally slowly become more and more lively." Zhao Yan laughed when he heard this, he was actually deliberately scaring Princess Dening just now, so that she could pay attention to this matter.
"I'm scared to death, I think you did it on purpose, third brother!" Princess Dening couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, and immediately patted her chest and glared at Zhao Yan, but then she suddenly thought of the purpose of her coming today, and immediately said again, "Third brother, since you know this, it's better to ......."
"Sister, why are you here?" Before Princess Dening finished speaking, she heard the voice of Princess Shoukang's surprise from outside the hall, and then saw Princess Shoukang, Princess Bao'an and Cao Ying all walked in, and saw Princess Dening also come forward to salute, among which Princess Shoukang wanted to take Shu'er away from Zhao Yan's hands, but unfortunately Shu'er was very afraid of her aunt, and she held Zhao Yan's arm and didn't let go.
Seeing her son's scared look, Princess Dening angrily stepped forward and patted the back of Princess Shoukang's hand and said, "Third sister, be honest, Shu'er is already timid, don't freak him out like this." β
Seeing that Princess Dening was angry, Princess Shoukang also stuck out her tongue in fright, and then hid behind Princess Bao'an, but Princess Bao'an also glared at her fiercely, and she also knew Shu'er's timidity, but Princess Shoukang still liked to tease him.
"Eldest sister, why are you free today, do you have any business matters?" Cao Ying asked with a smile at this time, which can be regarded as helping Princess Shoukang to relieve the siege.
When Princess Dening heard this, she suddenly sighed and said, "Sister Ying'er, I came here today, in fact, I want to ask the third brother for something, I hope he will not refuse!"
