Chapter 100: The rain is a blessing
It has been more than half a month since Xue and the ministers agreed on the "Guozixue Election Officer" in January, plus two days ago, Xue helped the two sons of the Lu family speak in the court and also spread to Guozixue, Sima Yun's news did not mention the content of this matter, but Xue was very curious about the impact of this matter on the students.
After discussing with Sima Cheng, Xue decided to visit Guozixue privately in the name of "inspection" to see the situation of the students.
Xue didn't want to make a big fuss, so she just privately informed Pei Xuanling, and on this day, she was dressed in regular clothes and took Sima Cheng to visit Guozixue.
When Xue and Sima Cheng were about to arrive, not far away, they saw a dignified son, dressed in a national school uniform, standing at the door of Guozixue, Xue couldn't help frowning, and her steps slowed down, only to feel that the person in front of her was a little familiar, after so many days, she suddenly couldn't remember the identity of this person.
Xue turned her head and cast a look at Sima Cheng for help, Sima Cheng understood, leaned over to his ear, and whispered to Xue:
"This person is Cui Lin, the son of Cui Xun, the secretary of Duzhi."
At this time, Cui Lin also saw Xue and Sima Cheng, walking towards the two, Xue nodded, and bits and pieces about Cui Lin quickly flashed in her mind.
Cui Lin, the son of Cui Xun, the secretary of the Duzhi Shangshu, previously served as the Zuomin Shilang in the court, and is now a student of Guozixue, in addition, Sima Yun also mentioned in the note, saying that Cui Lin is the assistant of Guozixue, assisting the sacrificial wine to manage the sentient beings of Guozixue, and if the sacrificial wine is not there, the sentient beings are led by the teaching assistant Cui Lin.
So Pei Xuanling sent Cui Lin out to greet him, which is normal.
As soon as they met, Cui Lin bowed to Xue and Sima Cheng, and said respectfully:
"See Your Majesty, I've seen Cheng Gongzi."
"Well, get up." Xue said, and then Sima Cheng also saluted Cui Lin.
Cui Lin got up, Xue looked him up and down, Cui Lin was slender, fair-skinned, gentle and elegant, a typical Dayu scholar, but maybe he was once an official in the court, Xue saw that although Cui Lin was not very old, compared with other Chinese students, it obviously gave people a sense of stability and reliability.
"Then, Your Majesty and Cheng Gongzi, please come with me." Cui Lin leaned over and made a "please" gesture towards Xue.
Under the leadership of Cui Lin, Xue and Sima Cheng entered the gate of Guozixue, and Xue came directly after lunch, so this time is the time when the students of Guozi take a lunch break, and the school, courtyard and other places in Guozixue are quiet, and there is no figure in sight.
In fact, a person of Cui Lin's status does not need to deliberately return to Guozixue as a student at all, perhaps because each adult of the "Six Shangs" sent a representative to enter Guozixue, because Cui's didn't want to seem out of place, so he asked Cui Lin to make up the numbers, so as not to cause unnecessary speculation among the courtiers, or it may be because Cui's saw Xue's strategy and wanted to show favor to Xue, so he took the initiative to send Cui Lin, who was very first-class in knowledge and ability, to respond to Xue's call.
Cui Lin led Xue and Sima Cheng into the courtyard, and Xue took the initiative to raise the topic and asked Cui Lin:
"I heard that you are now a teaching assistant under Master Pei...... How are these Chinese students? ”
This question can be big or small, Cui Lin's answer can be detailed or rough, Xue asked this to find out Cui Lin's attitude, thinking that he should also have some prestige among the students.
"Back to Your Majesty, I failed to deal with the conflict between Li Xuan and the two sons of the Lu family and others, which brought trouble to Your Majesty in the previous dynasty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." Cui Lin leaned over to compose.
"It's okay, I've settled everything in the previous dynasty." Snow waved his hand.
This matter would not be blamed on Cui Lin, as soon as Xue mentioned it, Cui Lin did not brag about what he did in Guozixue, but first took the responsibility for this matter on himself, and asked Xue for the blame, in this way, Xue looked at Cui Lin somewhat differently, and felt that Cui Lin dared to take responsibility and had a sense of responsibility.
Moreover, if you really want to say that the Cui clan also belongs to the northern clan, but it is not so close to the Sima Lie group, Xue Jianlin's attitude is sincere, indicating that at least he is not dissatisfied with the matter of helping the southern clan to establish power in the court, but it is not support, Xue did not see through it, and she did not ask in detail.
The three of them continued to walk, and along the way, Cui Lin also introduced the things in Guozixue for Xue, such as architecture, stone carving, etc., he said in detail, especially because he knew everything about its historical origins, and even more than Xue had heard before, and Xue listened to it with relish.
When they first met, Xue was still a little wary of this Cui son, but after some contact, as Xue thought before, he did not have the fancy spirit of a powerful son, or the official atmosphere of an old minister in the court, and Cui Xun did not despise her because of his young age, nor did he cower because of the identity of the Snow King.
On the contrary, Cui Xun spoke, the language was appropriate and humorous, gestures, extraordinary bearing, showing the demeanor of Cui's Gaomen, Xue couldn't help but feel that Master Cui taught well, if anyone has a little daughter, maybe they want her to marry Cui Lin.
Thinking of this, Xue couldn't help but hide his face and laugh, Cui Lin noticed Xue's laughter, and with a puzzled look, he arched his hand to Xue and said:
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, did Cui Lin do something wrong to make Your Majesty laugh?"
When Xue heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand, feeling a little ashamed of her "crooked thoughts" just now, but after thinking about it, she was a monarch, and she felt that Cui Xun was excellent and worthy of marrying, which was understandable, and there was nothing to hide, so she said:
"No, no, I just think that Cui Gongzi is a talent, talented and good-looking, but now he is living in this country, helping Master Pei manage these fledgling students, will it be my talent."
Sima Cheng couldn't help frowning lightly when he heard Xue suddenly praise someone so bluntly, as if it was the first time.
"Your Majesty is serious, it is Cui Lin's own intention to come to Guozi to study, and he will not feel wronged." Cui Lin lowered his eyebrows and replied respectfully.
"Oh, is it? What do you mean...... Why is that? Xue Zheng was curious about the reason why Cui Lin came here, and just considered whether to ask him, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to mention it himself.
"In the early years of the next in the Guozi School to accept the teaching of Master Pei, since childhood admired the talent of Master Pei, failed to always learn from the teacher has regrets, Pei Master served as the national son of the school of sacrificial wine, in the next volunteered to come to this country of learning." Cui Lin said.
"Oh, you were also studying at Guozi School before?"
Xue was a little surprised when she heard this, if this is really the case, then when Sima Ji entered Guozi School, Cui Lin was also there?! Xue recalled that she never seemed to have heard Sima Ji mention anyone other than Sima You, so Xue had no way to verify whether it was true or not.
"Exactly! I was fortunate to have studied in the country as a child, and I had a relationship with His Majesty. ”
