Chapter III
After communicating with her cousins for a few days, Minhua gradually figured out their status in her own family, which people were useful to her, and which people didn't need to smile and stutter, all of which she memorized in her heart.
Her intuition is not wrong, in this new family, as long as the eldest prince nods, this first level of recognition is considered to be passed. However, asking for more, such as pleasing the genius child who was not as big as herself, or playing childish games with Xuehua, Minhua thought that she couldn't do it yet, not because she couldn't do it, but because she was once an adult.
A few days later, the popularity of climbing relatives declined, and Minhua stayed in her small courtyard, holding a small booklet and thinking: red envelopes are good, but she hopes that there are futures real estate that can allow her to invest in business profits, and how much a rich woman's life is worth looking forward to.
"Min'er, come, meet this Master Qin."
Minhua put down the book, climbed down the small desk, walked to the goatee daddy and saluted, and looked at the strange man in blue on the side, she looked at it curiously, and didn't say much, and wondered in her heart that this person was only about thirty, with clear eyebrows, starry eyes, lofty spirits, and extraordinary bearing, could it be just a new master?
"This daughter is spoiled by the old man," Shangguan Cheng turned back to the master and said, "Brother Yushan, what do you think?" β
Master Yushan? Wouldn't it be the emperor Qin Fuzi who has the reputation of captivating the city and the country, Minhua exclaimed in a low voice, when communicating with the children of the Shangguan family these days, the name that has been mentioned the most and sought after by countless people is the emperor Qin Guanyue, the word Yushan, the current emperor is a military division-level figure personally invited after three bows and nine knocks, such as Shangguan Jinhua, the unequaled son, is also his protΓ©gΓ©.
Minhua's eyes unconsciously rolled up, how could the admiration on his little face be hidden, which made the two adults laugh for a while, Qin Guanyue's eyes swept Hui Hua slightly, cordial and sincere, and nodded: "Brother Xin, such a smart child is really rare." β
Oh, it turns out that the snow girl imitated the way this person spoke.
Seeing that such a super idol was about to step out of the small study, Minhua couldn't help asking: "Can Minhua be a disciple of Master Yushan without answering questions?" β
Qin Guanyue put down the placket she had lifted, smiled with a smile on her face, and stopped and replied, "Miss Minhua doesn't want to be a disciple below?" β
"Of course Minhua thinks," Minhua immediately shook her head like a rattle, such a good opportunity to increase her own capital was a mediocre person, she said: "But everyone is saying that only by answering the questions asked by Master Yushan can you be a student of Master." It seems that where does the water in the pond come from, and Qingfangzhai's pen inkstone sells for a few dollars... β
Qin Guanyue glanced at the three-year-old girl with appreciation, and quipped to Shangguan Cheng: "Brother Xin, your child is going to make the business of the Beijing teahouse prosperous again." β
Shangguan Cheng proudly touched the ugly goatee and said nothing. Qin Guanyue then replied to Minhua and said: "Looking at you from a distance, you sit in his position, focus on self-control, and look at it again, your eyes are clear, your speech is clear, your words are organized, you are enterprising, and you have the style of everyone, and you are highly qualified." Moreover, after setting the position of master and apprentice, you can also be neither arrogant nor impatient, and be cautious, proving that there is no mistake in choosing a teacher. β
Minhua sighed, and then asked, "Can I go to the academy tomorrow?" β
Qin Guanyue smiled and nodded, asked a few words about the books that Minhua usually reads, and soon, he and Shangguan Cheng left in a hurry. After a while, the beautiful lady who came with the letter, with a smile and tears of joy in her eyes, the powdered Yu'er's face was tightly attached to Minhua's little face, and she asked vigorously: "Min'er, Min'er, did Master Yushan really accept you as a student?" β
Minhua replied several times, and this cautious classical woman finally drew down a wave of tears: "Great, we finally don't have to look at people's faces." β
The nurse in the back also wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Miss Minhua, you must be angry, you don't know those people... β
"Qianniang! I haven't prepared things for Miss to go to the school tomorrow. The beauty mother screamed to stop the nurse's nagging, Shangguan Cheng ruled the family very strictly, one of which was that the slaves were not allowed to talk nonsense in front of the family in the backyard, and once found, they would be severely punished.
Minhua didn't know, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Mother, Minhua took a nap." β
When it was time for dinner, it was estimated that the whole capital knew about this heavy and explosive news. Congratulatory messages and congratulatory gifts poured in, Minhua accepted them unceremoniously, and smiled back with a skillful smile, and no one showed a trace of jealousy during the banquet.
Shangguan Xuehua still used the same old squeamishness and said: "Brother, our three brothers and sisters worship the master of Yushan together, it must be a real good story, right?" β
"Sister Minhua, can I take my brother and third sister's carriage to the school tomorrow?" Shangguan Jinhua was full of smiles, his tone was calm and warm, and his clear black eyes shone in the light, so beautiful that people were dazzled.
Minhua spit out the shrimp in a small mouthful, got up hurriedly and returned the salute, and said, "Thank you, Brother Shangguan, third sister." β
On the second day, when the sky was not light, Minhua was caught from the comfortable bed by her ruthless beauty mother, washed up and thrown into Shangguan Jinhua's exclusive carriage. After waiting for nearly an hour, I saw two brothers and sisters coming.
"Sister Minhua, you arrived first. Do you want to sleep on my shoulder for a while, my brother said that you may be lazy in bed when you are small, so you will advance the time, don't worry? β
Shangguan Xuehua's kind words gave a reasonable explanation, Minhua smiled and said no, and replied sweetly that she went to bed early last night, so she didn't get up early and was not sleepy. Shangguan Jinhua's perfect smile froze for a moment.
There was nothing to say all the way on the way, after Shangguan Jinhua showed the token, the three of them, under the leadership of the palace people, walked through Guanghong's palace compound, walked for nearly half an hour, and came to the "Kongran Courtyard", the eldest prince signaled his sister to let go of Minhua's little hand, and said: "Sister Minhua, after school, this courtyard will go back to the house together." This father-in-law, please take her to the 'Congle Academy'. β
Listening to the arrangement of the eldest son of the Shangguan family, Minhua did not refute it. She turned to leave the strange palace man, straightened her shoulders, and walked away in small steps tenaciously, even if her stiff calves cramped under her skirt. The little fist was clenched tightly under the sleeves, and he had already used the eighteen tortures in his heart to ravage the peerless son so much that even his father couldn't recognize it.
"What is your name, old man?"
"Ouch, Miss Shangguan really killed the minion, just call me Xiaodezi."
"Giggles, grandpa De, you're so interesting, what do you mean by torture?"
"Torture ... Kill... β
"Giggles, grandpa De, you are so powerful, you can cramp when your face is black like this, is it okay to teach Minhua?"
"This, this... Miss Shangguan, you are tired of leaving, let the servants send you to the music courtyard. β
Minhua breathed a sigh of relief, and when she was sent to the Congle Academy, the bell for the class had already ringed. Xiao Dezi was a little anxious, urging Minhua to run in quickly, and after Minhua got off the ground, he took something from his body, handed it to Xiao Dezi, and said, "Thank you Grandpa De." β
"I can't do it, I can't do it... Xiao Dezi resigned.
At this moment, a person with four or five minions strode to their left, and the first person kicked Xiao Dezi from behind, and shouted: "Good dog minion, you dare to ignore the orders of this prince!" β
"The Seventh Highness spares his life, the Seventh Highness spares his life... Xiao Dezi rolled three times on the spot, his face was snow-white when he got up, he didn't even dare to wipe the blood stains on the corners of his lips, he knelt down in front of the man with a plop, and hit the bluestone slab hard with his forehead, and the sound of the bang was moving.
"Who allowed you to bring that cheap seed here?" The man was not moved, one kick after another, one foot after another, and kicked heavily on the thin little minion, kicking Xiao Dezi without any blood on his face.
This sound of impact was simply wringing his heart, Minhua glared at the half-grown boy, this leading young man was more than one head taller than himself, that is, he was not as pretentious as Shangguan Jinhua, nor as gentle and gentle as Qin Guanyue, but his eyes were full of lust, like a fierce god and a gangster, the word hooligan was comparable to it.
"Look at what, cheap bones, get out of the south gate of the palace immediately!"
Minhua smiled slightly, subdued the Seventh Highness, and then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, in the voice of Xiao Dezi begging for mercy, he calmly walked into the Congle Courtyard.
After disappearing from everyone's sight, Minhua ran into the school hall briskly, pulled out Qin Guanyue, who was teaching, and shouted all the way: "Master, you must save the old man, he is about to be killed." β
After a while, the two of them walked quickly to the outside of the courtyard, her fingers jumped over the Seventh Highness and the minions who were committing the murder, and said to the little Dezi who was kicked and was dying: "Master, it was this grandfather who sent me to the school. β
Qin Guanyue touched Minhua's little head, and said in a deep voice: "Yanqing, don't stop yet." β
"Master, this dog slave has made a mistake, and this prince is teaching a lesson."
Qin Guanyue sighed, nodded, her face was a little pale, Minhua saw it in her eyes, and knew that this hooligan called Yanqing was not easy to mess with, and Qin Guanyue wanted to calm things down. She hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said, "Master, is it wrong for the old man to send Minhua to the school?" It's so far away, Minhua can't walk... β
"Where's your squire?" Qin Guanyue lowered her head and asked with concern.
Minhua said in his heart that it was going to be bad. When the children of the family go out to study, there must be more than two servants by their side to show their status. Without explanation, there is no virtue, there is no representation of decline, she flashed her wits and said, "He is with Brother Shangguan and the third sister." β
The attendants behind His Highness sneered and shouted, "Where did you come from?" If you want to save this dog minion, you have to weigh yourself two pounds! β
Qin Guanyue also felt that something was wrong, and Minhua stomped his feet and said, "No, that person's name is Zhang Jian." "Hopefully this place does have someone recommended by the head of the ancestral house!
"Okay, Yanqing, go back to the hall to practice calligraphy first, and leave the slave who made a mistake to the people in the respectful room."
Minhua also gave it a shot, and now seeing that Qin Guanyue believed in himself, he secretly sighed that it was dangerous. But I saw an entourage of the Seventh Highness probing the nose of Xiao Dezi, and heard him reply: "Back to the master, he is dead." β
His Royal Highness raised his thick black and rough eyebrows, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, and said, "I'm sorry, Master, I don't know which slave has the thin face that can promise you!" Haha, let's go! β
Minhua walked in front of the old slave who was beaten to death, and the water droplets in his socket couldn't stop fluttering and falling on the big blue-gray stone slab, and a human life was gone. She had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and she didn't know whether she was more resentful or remorseful, or more sad that she had still asked for such an end.
Qin Guanyue squatted down, and just looked at Shang Minhua's eyes with pain or resentment, and immediately avoided it uncomfortably, and wanted to wipe away the tears from the girl's face, but stopped in mid-air awkwardly, and did not let it go for a long time.
Minhua wiped away the overflowing tears with his little hand, laughed dumbly, and said, "Master, Minhua doesn't blame you, I really don't blame you." β
"You..."
Minhua forced back the tears that were useless, and took the lead in walking towards the school, Qin Guanshan sighed, followed her, and carefully guarded her to prevent her from falling. Minhua asked in a low voice, "Who is Zhang Jian?" β
Qin Guanyue put the cotton towel on Minhua's hand, thought for a while, and said, "Wu Tanhua three years ago wanted to be the captain of the forbidden army in the palace. β
Every personnel change in the forbidden army will attract attention from all sides, if Zhang Jian has been in the Shangguan family for a few years, then he will have the background of the Shangguan family, and the position of the commander of the forbidden army will naturally no longer be difficult. No wonder he said that Zhang Jian, Qin Guanshan, His Royal Highness the Seventh and others believed it. Minhua kept it in mind that this was a cheap feudal dynasty.
The two walked into the hall, Qin Guanyue pointed to the youngest Minhua and sat down in the first row, and said, "Qingshan, this is Miss Minhua of the Shangguan family, she is still young, you have to take care of it more on weekdays." β
Minhua raised his head and swept it gently, judging from the age of the students in the music academy, it seems that they are around ten years old, and there are few women, and the seventh highness sits at the back loudly, presumptuous. As for the "Qingshan table" that Qin Guanyue refers to, at the age of seven or eight, he has a white face, red lips, and surprisingly round eyes, a boy who can win everyone's affection.
"Minhua, you come first." Minhua nodded and sat down, Qin Guanyue picked up the book, walked to the back three rows, and gave lectures to students of the same age.
Minhua picked up the sticker on the table, and was about to open the inkstone and grind it by herself, when she felt that someone was pulling her sleeve, and when she looked back, it was the boy named Qingshan.
"Sister Minhua, my grind is for you."
Minhua was slightly stunned, nodded and thanked him, took the pen and dipped it in ink, and listened to the boy again: "Brother's name is Sikong Xiao, the word Qingshan, Minhua's sister has to remember it." β
"Shangguan Minhua, no word." After speaking, Minhua didn't pay attention to it anymore and concentrated on posting the words.
After a while, Minhua felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little strange, as if he hadn't heard Qin Guanyue's voice for a long time. When I looked up, I felt that my scalp was aching, and I was about to turn my head, when I heard Sikong Xiao shouting urgently behind him: "Sister Minhua, don't move, I'll come over to help you untie it immediately." Ren Fuqiu, bullying girls, what kind of man are you?! β
"Sikong Xiao, I want to be a good person again, haha, do you have the ability?"
Before the male fairy tale sounded, he heard the other girls in the hall crying, the naughty boys laughing uncontrollably, and the Seven Highnesses laughing proudly behind the hall. Sikong Xiao helped this, but he couldn't protect the other, and he was busy among the students.
Minhua leaned to the ground, turned his back on his hands, and groped along the braid for a long time before separating the rope from the back leg. When I got up, I saw that many boys were staring at me with wide eyes, and even the girl who was crying put down her palm to stop crying. She didn't care about it, smoothed her hair, patted her clothes, and sat back in her place to continue writing.
Kicking on the ground a few times, Minhua was just about to avoid it, but saw the Seventh Highness running to her, raising one leg and kicking her small table, the ink on it flew head-on, Minhua hurriedly got up, and still couldn't help splashing her skirt. Then, several boys in the back picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it at her together.
Minhua dodged left and right, Sikong Xiao had some skills, and after pushing a few away, he ran to Minhua's side, opened his hand to protect her, blocked most of the ink, and shouted: "Are you ashamed, so many people bully a girl!" β
"Just bully, what can you do?" The boys didn't care, splashed ink and threw words and pasted books, there was a commotion in the hall, and several other girls who were bullied miserably gathered around Minhua with the help of Sikong Xiao, and formed two contrasting camps with the naughty troublemakers led by His Royal Highness the Seventh.
"Luo Sheng, Jiang first-class,γγγ What are you doing? β
At the critical moment, Qin Guanyue entered to stop it. For the students, he lightly reprimanded two sentences, gently reminded the waiter, and then gave a lecture to Sikong Xiao and other students in the second batch. On his breezy eyebrows, it was completely impossible to see the true thoughts in his heart. Min Hua just came, Qin Guanyue left her at the end, and after pointing out the main points of the word, the first day's class was over.
After that, Qin Guanyue specially arranged for his attendants to escort Minhua to the Kongran Courtyard to meet the carriage of the Shangguan family. When they returned home, the three people in the carriage knew the origin of what happened to Minhua that day, and they didn't bother to act again. After getting out of the car, they greeted each other with a smile, and the sweet voices of their brothers and sisters coaxed the teeth of those who loved to listen to them.
The goatee father was so happy that he touched his beard and said with relief: "Ziyou, you must take good care of Min'er." β
"Yes, Father."
After dinner, Minhua was arranged to go to the study to choose an attendant. She saw Zhang Jian, a young man with lively eyes, an ordinary figure, a striking arrow scar on his chin, and didn't say much.
The goatee daddy was scolding the beautiful lady and said, "Qin Niang, why didn't you discuss the candidate for the waiter?" I almost made a joke today, saying that my Shangguan Cheng's daughter has no mother to support her! β
"Master..." In addition to these two words, the beautiful lady has nothing else to defend, let alone dare to say her selfishness.
Master Zhang played a round and said: "My lord, Madame has just returned to Beijing, and I have forgotten about it for a while, so it is important to ask Miss Seven to meet her attendant now." β
Daddy Goatee turned to Minhua and asked with a kind smile, "Min'er, is this person good?" β
Minhua nodded, and the matter of the attendant was a foregone conclusion.
After the mother and daughter returned to the room, the beautiful lady looked a little unhappy on her face, and told her daughter: "Min'er, it is very important to choose a guard, you don't understand this matter, let your mother arrange it for you in the future, well, okay?" β
Could it be that this woman is still thinking about that little snotty heel? was arranged by this far-sighted lady, and her life was gone. Minhua responded: "Oh, you tell your father. β
