Chapter 357: Grace and Might
Meng Keyang saw that Bufan didn't say a word, he was disappointed in his heart, packed his schoolbag and waved it to Gu Changbai (Mo Kun), and followed his own soldiers.
Gu Ding looked at Shi Chen and reminded: "Master, it's time to go to court early." β
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) thought for a while, and asked, "What about the difficulty?"
Gu Ding replied: "I'm still asleep in the wing." β
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) nodded: "Call him." β
Gu Bu was not difficult to sleep, and he heard the word and came over obediently: "Big brother." β
"I'm going to the court, and I'll leave it to you here. Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) pointed to the guards and soldiers, "After copying the book, you will check it, you can only leave if you say you go, if you don't obey you, they will all be under your control." β
Gu Bu is the eldest of the jade generation of the Shenlong General's Mansion, twenty years younger than the lobby brother, he doesn't deal with each other on weekdays, so he is so steep that he is surprised, and he looks at Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) in a daze and does not speak.
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?"
"Yes!" Gu Bu puffed up his chest, "My brother understands. β
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) left satisfied.
Besides, on this day, Gu Qiang found Qin Siyue (Long Xi) and wanted to find an errand.
"You?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was quite surprised, "I want to send someone to Xiagusu to buy musical instruments and teach singing girls, but it is just to add some excitement to the courtyard, you are a serious master, how can there be a reason to run errands because of this?"
"The nephew is not running errands for this either. Gu Qiang explained, "I can read a lot of books, and I am always confined in Beijing with a narrow vision, and my nephew wanted to find a chance to go out for a walk, but yesterday I happened to hear Brother Kwai say that you want to send someone to pick and sell singing female musical instruments, so I came to ask for errands." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) did not agree: "When Bin'er returned to the south, your sister-in-law followed, you are not married at this age, where can you go to the warm and smoked place?
Gu Qiang was speechless, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) sighed: "If you want to go, just go, when I come back, I will seriously pick a daughter-in-law for you, and there will be no delay in getting married and studying, and it will be difficult to drag it out!"
"Yes," Gu Qiang agreed, "My nephew listens to my aunt." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) immediately ordered Chunlan: "You fill in a list of 20,000 taels of silver, take the pair of cards from the princess's mansion, and go with Qiang'er." β
Chunlan agreed, and Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said again: "Take one hundred taels of broken silver and use it for expenses on the road, and then take another five hundred taels of silver tickets and keep them for backup." β
Gu Qiang hurriedly excused himself: "My nephew is rich." β
"Giving money is not for you to spend indiscriminately" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled, "In addition to serious procurement, you might as well buy things that look at your heart, and it is also decent to give them to teachers and classmates in the future." β
Gu Qiang said gratefully: "Let my aunt bother." β
After sending Gu Qiang away, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) pinched the corners of his forehead: "How is the family study?"
Dongmei was well-informed, because she said with a smile: "Uncle went to the court early in the morning, and let the third master of Huan, who finished copying the book, supervise it there." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is more familiar with the inner house, and she is not surprised when she hears it: "He can read people." β
The master and servant were gossiping about the chaos of family learning, and the little maid came in and replied: "Grandma, the big grandmother in the east has led the little brother to invite you to come here." β
Unlike Gu Changbai (Mo Kun), Qin Siyue (Long Xi) had no senses for the people in the second room, frowning slightly and muttering to herself: "What is she here for?"
Dongmei guessed: "Uncle rectifies his family studies, and the little brother has nowhere to study, I'm afraid that he is here to fight our brother Kui'er's idea." β
"Call in. "Since he is deliberately in charge of the feed, it is indispensable to deal with the shortcomings of these parents, and Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is now numb.
As Dongmei expected, Lu Ying really came for Gu Chen's study.
Gu Kui is the sister-in-law of the princess of the feudal country, and there is the old son of the first-class prince, his master is different from others, the martial master Minghao is now a second-grade official, and the literary master Zhou Chong is a great Confucian in the world, in addition to the nobles of Tianhuang, it is tantamount to finding a stronger teacher than the two of them. Based on this, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is naturally inconvenient to assign additional tasks to Ming and Tuesday at will.
What Qin Siyue (Long Xi) really cares about is: "I remember that Chen'er's maternal grandfather was the son of the country to supervise the wine, how difficult is it to find a gentleman to teach at home?"
It's like in modern times, to say that the grandson of the president of Peking University has no teacher to teach, isn't it a big joke in the world?
Lu Ying smiled bitterly: "Our wife is afraid that after inviting the husband, the old man will also ask Bufan to follow the study, and it is not better to study at home, in case the old lady does not follow the rules to read and alarm the master, the old lady must be worriedββ"
"For the sake of a person who can't make it, you have to let your brothers and nephews follow it?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said, "Chen'er is the eldest grandson of the second master, and there is no one in the second room who is more expensive than him except for the second master, you shouldn't stand up as a motherββ"
These words are purely because of himself, Lu Ying bears the name of Kefu, and there is no uncle and county lord's father and mother to support him, how can he bargain for a bargain under a mother-in-law like the Huang family? As for the family property, the Huang family, in the hearts of Gu Lao Taijun and the people in the second room, the entire Shenlong General's Mansion should be inherited by the Brahman, what does it have to do with Gu Chen?
Thinking of this, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) couldn't blame Lu Ying.
"Since you are worried about this, if the second master hears that Chen'er is studying with Mr. Zhou, and also begs the old lady to let me talk to the uncle, and I have to send Bufan together, wouldn't it be the same result at that time? Mr. Zhou gave a lesson, and even the third prince of the Huang family who was loyal to Yong was also taught a lesson, and if he was beaten, Chen'er would still inevitably be angry. What Qin Siyue (Long Xi) didn't say was, "If you don't want to keep it, you want to add a charge of 'instigating discord between the two rooms'." β
Lu Ying hurriedly said: "Uncle rectifies his family studies, I think it won't take a few days to get results, and Chen'er can't disturb Mr. for a long time." β
"Since you have an idea, I, as an aunt, have no reason to sit idly by. Qin Siyue (Long Xi) turned her head and ordered, "Ask Changshi to back up and send it to Mr. Zhou's house." β
The first Confucian recognized in this dynasty is Mr. Li Zong, the chief of Yuelu Mountain during the Taizong period, this old man received ten disciples in his life, and the closed disciple is the only six-yuan double leader Gu Changbai (Mokun) since the opening of the imperial examination by Emperor Yang of Sui, and the great disciple of the mountain is Zhou Chong.
Zhou Chong is the only one of the ten Jun of Li Men who has not been out of office, but his knowledge determines the social influence, the prince lectured at the banquet, and the invited Zhou Chong wanted to perform the teacher's ceremony, the emperor was such an arrogant person, and he was also courteous when he saw Zhou Chong, and in his early years, he was entrusted by the little junior brother to teach the palace school, and the third son of King Zhongyong, Jin Shi, did not complete his schoolwork twice in a row, Zhou Chong was angry, and directly took the ring ruler to greet his hand, and beat Jin Shi to howl and scream.
King Zhongyong is the most important one of the emperors among the concubines of Taizong, and he can be counted above tens of thousands of people under a few people, but it is a pity that the heirs are extremely thin, except for the eldest son born to the concubine, there are only three or two concubines who are lucky to survive, and they are naturally highly valued.
The entourage of the palace was so anxious that they confronted Zhou Chong on the spot, and said, "The prince is at fault, he should be punished as a waiter, how can he hurt the nobles without permission?"
The two generals quarreled, and the lawsuit reached the front of the emperor, and King Zhongyong felt that his face was lost, and Xia Shouzhong was so quick to hug him, otherwise Jin Shi would even have to suffer from his heart.
To be a disciple of such a person, without good talent and a very hard relationship, it will not be possible, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) is Zhou Chong's little junior brother, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) is Zhou Chong's "first person in the ages", Gu Kui's children's qualifications are not bad, and it is a matter of course to be included in the door wall.
Shi Xiao, the princess's governor, gave a gift and relayed the meaning of Qin Siyue (Long Xi): "I shouldn't have tired Mr., just because I asked a teacher who couldn't agree with me within three or five days, and asked Mr. to bother with some advice, and our princess and grandfather are only grateful!"
Zhou Chong said with a smile: "Your master is kind-hearted, in the early years, in order to ask Mr. to take that Gu Bufan in the second room of your mansion into the door wall, how much scheming he played! Now he actually owes a gift to his son." β
The little junior brother and younger brother and sister have face, Zhou Chong accepted the gift and sent Changshi back to his home to resume his life.
Qiu Ju was so angry that she couldn't help but complain about Lu Ying: "This grandmother is also a little calculating, her son is looking for a master, and she uses your private room to fill in favors." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) sighed: "She is a widow and unemployed, and it is not easy to pull a child, so why should we care." β
Qiu Ju pouted: "My father and grandmother don't care, you are the aunt in the next room, but you spend your thoughts." β
"Okay," Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled bitterly, "What kind of teeth are you grinding here?" β
Gu Bu is not difficult, and he really did not disappoint Gu Changbai (Mo Kun).
As the saying goes, "once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out", the concubine in the second room of the Shenlong General's Mansion has the support of the lobby brother, and he is honest and honest with his classmates who did not take it seriously in the past.
If you don't do it, you don't die, you don't have your own little abacus, as long as you escape from the family and learn to be in front of Gu Lao Taijun, no matter how big it is, it won't be a matter of any time! Seeing that the person sitting above was replaced by a younger brother, it didn't take long for him to take the book and hand in his homework.
Gu Bufan is not afraid of Gu Bufan, but he is afraid of Gu Taijun and Huang, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he does not have the courage to deliberately embarrass his brother-in-law, although he has not missed the opportunity to perform in front of his cousin, if he can really copy it, he will turn one eye and close one eye and raise his hand to let it go, and when he turned to the end of the page, he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Second brother, your book has not been copied." β
Bufan was slightly impatient: "I went to the old lady, and her old man told the eldest brother that it was the same if I was allowed to finish copying it in the house." β
Gu Bu is not difficult to weigh the law left and right, and listening to the sighing voices below, he simply crossed his heart: "Big brother said, only after copying can you go back, no one can be an exception." β
Gu Bufan didn't believe it, Gu Bufan dared to stop himself, and he was about to go out with his feet raised.
Gu Bu got up from the chair: "Don't go!"
The two pro-soldiers stood forward and blocked Bufan's way side by side.
Bufan's face turned red with anger: "You dare! Wait until I go back and sue the old lady to see how she teaches you a lesson!"
Gu Bu was relieved: "I was assigned by my eldest brother to inspect my schoolwork, and the old lady can't be blamed if she knows it!"
Bufan looked left and right, so he had to gamble and return to his original position.
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) regretted it after hearing about it: if those who have this courage are replaced by Bufan, he may not have to save much worry.
Looking at the remaining twenty or so people who hadn't finished copying the book, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) was speechless: "That's it, you don't have to come to school from now on." β
If everyone is amnesty, where to take care of the parents' explanations, lest Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) change his mind, and pack up his books and scatter in a moment.
Gu Family School was founded by Ning Rong and the two dukes in the past, Gu Changbai (Mokun) would not do anything that went against the original intention of the ancestors, and when he returned to the Shenlong General's Mansion, he summoned Gu Lian, Gu Chong, and Gu Qiang to the study and began to draft the reform charter.
Governing the army is like governing the army, which is more important than the four words "clear rewards and punishments", Gu Lian's idea is very simple: "If you learn well, you will be given double the pen and ink silver, and the responsibility for the end of the day will be paid the money." β
Gu Qiang expressed his doubts: "It's all bad, and if you are a little higher, you won't be able to get a good evaluation, is this also good?"
Gu Chong said: "It doesn't help if you don't have a serious master." β
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) set the outline: "There are a lot of people in Beijing every year, we are higher than the bride price, I don't believe that there is no catering, teach Xiucai, Mr. has twenty taels of silver, and students will reward one set of courtyards;
Thinking about the current situation of home learning, Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) couldn't help but be discouraged: "Let's talk about it!"
Gu Qiang took the opportunity to go back to Gusu.
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) has nothing to do: "Listen to your aunt." β
To be able to go to the Gu family to learn to be a teacher, put aside the money and the money, and the towering tree of Gu Changbai (Mokun) is still afraid that there will be no career in the future?
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) handed over the task of selecting a master to Gu Chong, and he rolled up his sleeves to draw up the discipline of family learning, and was determined to rectify and understand the family learning.
Qin Siyue (Longxi) wants to build a lot of construction, Ning Rong Liufang is all ready to take cameras, seeing that Gu Qiang gently and skillfully got 20,000 silver to go to Jiangnan to procure, and no one is not guilty of rabbit disease, and they all want to find a way to get a pen.
There are not many people who dare to find the main master directly like Gu Qiang, Gu Lao Taijun doesn't take care of things, and knows that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Shenlong General's Mansion are compatible, and many clansmen are working Mrs. Zhang.
Although Mrs. Zhang is not accustomed to mundane affairs, it is inconvenient to treat people coldly after all, and it is difficult to get family affection, and then it also shows that the princess and daughter-in-law respect their selfishness very much. The horizontal harp Siyue (Longxi) is short, and anyone who usually doesn't take Qiao as a possibility is willing to send a favor to the water.
On this day, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) went to the upper room to discuss the list of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts with her mother-in-law, and it happened that two women were talking to Mrs. Zhang and had already recognized her when she asked her to say goodbye: the older one was Gu Condensed Nurse Mu Mama, and the younger one was Zhou in the third room.
Listening to her mother-in-law ask about the lack of messengers to build the courtyard, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) understood: "Where can such a project be thoughtful, and there are still a few jobs left for the children of the two mansions, as long as they are willing to work hard, why not give them it?"
Mrs. Zhang pretended to complain: "Speaking of which, it's still Lian'er, his two milk brothers don't even have a serious mission, and the Internal Affairs Office is in charge of royal procurement, so he would rather stick his skin and flesh on outsiders." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) said with a smile: "The royal affairs are no better than others, and a slight difference is a big deal, and the second uncle is naturally planning for the milk brother." β
Mama Mu hurriedly said: "What the princess grandmother said is very true, the second master is a slave, where do I not know his character? β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) thought for a while and said: "Qiang'er asked me for an envoy to the south to buy the day before yesterday, and I was afraid that he would make a mistake when he was young. β
Mama Mu couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I don't mean that these two evil obstacles are so created, the slave must tell them to be careful on errands, in case there is a mistake, the wife and the princess grandmother are merciful, and the slave can't spare them!"
Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said: "Where is it worth this!"
Zhou's intentions were the same as Mama Mu's, and seeing that her wish was fulfilled, she also looked at his wife earnestly.
Mrs. Zhang also couldn't go along with the slave and rebelled against her relatives, because she smiled and said: "Xi'er is also older, and it doesn't matter where she points to an errand, which is what it means to have a little experience." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) nodded: "The queen mother heard that I built another courtyard, and also made fun of saying that I wanted to go over to worship the Buddha, I have passed on the decree, and ordered the Zen master of the Protector of the Law and Seal to select twelve monks in the capital temple, twenty-four elderly monks, and forty-four novices to teach and use, and there is a lack of a general manager of secular affairs, if Xi'er can do it, you can ask him to try!"
Zhou hurriedly kowtowed: "The woman thanked the princess and grandmother on behalf of Gu Xi. β
"Isn't it necessary to build an additional temple?" Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, "Then it will take tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?"
"Hmm" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) didn't care, "It's only a hundred thousand taels left-"
Coming out of Rongxi Hall, Zhou smacked his lips and sighed: "If she is really the princess who is favored by the saint, she spent more than 100,000 taels of silver and didn't even turn her eyes." β
Mama Mu smiled and said: "The treasury of the saint is at the disposal of our princess and grandmother, and no one can lack her old man." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) would definitely cry and laugh if she heard this, she didn't touch the silver in the treasury, and she still put a few million taels in it.
Mrs. Zhang was a little embarrassed: "You are so busy, I will make trouble for you." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) shook her head: "It's just a matter of raising your hands." β
When the gift list came out, he happened to meet Gu Lian, who came to greet his wife, and he had just met Mama Mu at the door, and then he stopped to thank him: "It was my brother's duty, and my sister-in-law was tiredββ"
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) smiled slightly: "These things in the inner house, you brothers can't help. β
"My sister-in-law is capable, and my brother simply asks you for a job. When he said this, Gu Lian's face was a little hot.
"Huh?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was curious, "The Internal Affairs Office wants to do business with me?"
"Sister-in-law joked. Gu Lian sneered, "It's also like Mama Mu, who is doing it for others." β
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) understood: "Let's hear it." β
Gu Lian smiled: "It's Gu Yun, the son of the fifth sister-in-law of Xilang, he met me and my brother at the door a few days ago, saying that he wanted to find a living messenger in the house, and I casually agreed." β
