Chapter 51: Unhelpful
"I started studying with my grandfather when I was three years old. It was also he who inspired me personally. At that time, I didn't understand anything, but now that I think about it, even my memory is a little blurry. ”
"I followed my grandfather for several years, but I was so young that I couldn't remember what books I read. But I always remember what my grandfather said, 'Moving your heart and mind is not beneficial to others, and you can't quit it.'" ’”
"At the beginning, I thought that this was the criterion for learning, and when the mind was calm, reading and discussing the Tao could indeed get twice the result with half the effort."
Ke Mingxu smiled, "When I was a child, my life was not as colorful as the little county lord is now. I was born into a family of eunuchs, not only for me, but for every one of my brothers. ”
Jinghu felt a little sad inexplicably, "Master Ke, then you must have been very unhappy at that time, right?" She couldn't be happy even when she thought about it, and she might as well be dead if she was pressed in the study every day.
He shook his head, "If you never know what life is like outside of such days, how can you find it very hard." ”
"I also went to Jiangnan, and I saw how my grandfather's cousins lived every day, and I compared it with myself to know that it was different. Although the Xie family is also a family of poetry, books and etiquette, they do not regard becoming an official as the first priority. ”
"However, it's not for myself, and I don't think it's bitter. The joy of learning literature and etiquette is still endless for me. ”
It is rare for him to have such a good conversation today, Jinghu supported his face with his hand and listened to him seriously.
"When I was eight years old, I worshipped my current teacher and went to study at Songshi Academy. I thought that the teacher must be a very rigid and strict person like my grandfather, but it turned out that this was not the case. ”
"In addition to guiding my studies, he often takes me out to experience the warmth and coldness of the world." The phrase "human affection is the article" is also a wise saying for me. ”
"The more and more roads I walked, and the more people and things I met. Occasionally, there will be times when emotions are agitated and it is difficult to control oneself. ”
"In these many moments, I suddenly realized that the phrase 'moving your heart and mind is not beneficial to others' is actually the standard of life. The world is big, but it is not as big as people's hearts, and it is really the best thing to seek inner peace. ”
Jinghu understands a little, and some doesn't. But she knew that she herself was probably hindering his tranquility for him.
Even now it was okay, if she wanted to be his wife in the future, she would not be able to let him be so peaceful.
She kept pestering her like this, would he feel upset?
"It's me who is not good, I said so many boring things, the little county lord must feel sleepy."
I don't know how I suddenly told her such a thing. He was asked to read and learn the ways of the saints, and he did not feel tired. What makes him feel tired is that there are so many people in this world who read and understand etiquette, but the most shameless are often these people.
Ten years by the time of Zhaoyong, he had already made up his mind to control the floods that flooded every year. The person who was appointed as the governor of the river was the younger brother of the newly deposed Empress Zhang, Zhang Zhiqing, the Marquis of Wuning.
The previous dynasty is closely related to the harem, Zhaoyong ten years, the favored Concubine Xu Xian is pregnant again, and the rumors that the unsettled Jinshang wants to abolish the Zhang family's throne and set up Concubine Xu Xian as the queen are very loud.
Others watched Zhang Zhiqing get the position of governor of the river, and now they want to quell such rumors and let the world see that he has not forgotten the wife who supported him all the way to become the emperor.
But that's not what my grandfather thought. Grandfather felt that Jinshang would do this and gave this position to the Zhang family, because he really wanted to abolish the queen, so he took this position as compensation for the Zhang family.
My grandfather was Imagami's teacher, and his judgment could not be wrong. He just couldn't understand how he could give up such a position as an emperor. The Yellow River floods every year, hundreds of thousands of people are affected every year, and the governor of the river is so important.
Concubine Xu Xian died suddenly, and there is naturally no abolition today. But the position of the governor of the river is still Zhang Zhiqing sitting. The imperial court appropriated funds every year, and the Yellow River flooded every year.
Everyone knows what's going on, but it's not until now that someone has come forward to deliver the evidence to Jinshang.
Jing Hu was distracted, and when he heard him speak like this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "No, no." It's been a long time since I've been standing in the daylight, so I'm a little sleepy. ”
"It's not that I think what Master Xiao Ke said is boring, it's just that I think it's a bit profound, I can't understand it yet, I have to go back and think about it."
How could she think what he said was boring, he was willing to talk to her, even if he was reciting Fang Cai's ode, or even if it was a three-year-old child's "Three Character Classic", she could listen to it with relish, and by the way, she sincerely praised him for his awesomeness.
Ke Mingxu's smile was gentle, "Since you're sleepy, it's better to go back to the palace earlier." ”
Jinghu didn't want to leave, "I'm not sleepy, I'm not sleepy, I want to stay here for a while." "I want to stay with him a little longer.
Ke Mingxu stood up with a smile, "If the little county lord doesn't leave, then I'll leave first?" ”
Of course, Jinghu stood up immediately, "Then I'll go back too." Last night, I made a half-night purse to give away, so I went back to rest for a while. ”
Jinghu had been paying attention to Ke Mingxu, she thought he would ask her who she was doing it for, and why she did it in the middle of the night, but he didn't react.
She had to comfort herself that it was not strange for girls to make purses and give each other gifts. So she took the initiative to explain, "It was given to my brother, and he heard that I had given Xiao Ke a purse, but I never gave him this brother, so he was jealous." ”
"I see." His tone was still very light, and he couldn't hear the emotion.
Jinghu was a little frustrated, she thought that whether her third brother knew that she had made a purse for him, or that she was going to make a purse for someone else, it was worth his reaction.
Soon they were to the stables.
The horses left by the princess to her were Western Regions horses, which were very tall, or she noticed that her attitude was a little cold, and when she saw her leading the horse out, Ke Mingxu asked her, "This horse is tall, and the little county lord may control it?" ”
She could. Of course she could. But if it's in front of Ke Mingxu, of course it's not, he doesn't mean to ride with her, right?
She obeyed her heart and shook her head.
Ke Mingxu led the most ordinary horse in the stable, "The little county lord might as well ride this horse, anyway, it's just going up the mountain, and you don't need to be fast." ”
Jinghu thought about it, but still shook his head, "This horse was left to me by my third sister-in-law, so I'll ride this one." ”
"Actually, it's not that it's uncontrollable, it's just that it's a little troublesome when getting on and off the horse, if Master Xiao Ke can help me, it won't be troublesome."
