Chapter 35 Running a School
The Four Princes and Qiu Heng carefully planned the poisoning plan to poison Qiu Xun, and the Four Princes had already set up a banquet to celebrate Qiu Heng's successful return.
After a while, news spread in the palace that Qiu Bohong's eldest son, Qiu Xun, had committed a murder in King Qiong's Mansion and had been sent to prison.
The fourth prince said in his heart, no, the poisoning method was specially consulted by the masters, and the poison was soaked in the handkerchief, so it should not be so easy to find.
The four princes sent a subordinate to inquire about the news to report that the four princes killed the housekeeper of King Qiong's mansion, and said that the executive's family was the father of the fourth prince.
The fourth prince listened to the clouds and fog, and almost kicked the subordinate out, and he was weak and didn't dare to go to the palace to ask, so he came to the eldest prince's mansion and wanted to inquire about it from the side.
"Why did the Fourth Emperor Brother remember to come to see us today, could it be that he also wanted to inquire about Qiu Heng?" The eldest princess knew that Qiu Heng was close to the four princes on weekdays, and she gave the four princes bad ideas.
The eldest prince dragged the princess aside and said to the fourth prince, "Since the Yongchang Marquis Mansion drove the Yun family mother and daughter away. I have never recognized the daughter of the second princess again, and Qiu Bohong has not climbed the threshold of King Qiong's Mansion, why did he remember that the family went to King Qiong's Mansion this time. Fortunately, when I went in, there were five, and when I came out, there were three left. ”
"Three? Who else? The fourth prince asked anxiously.
"Alas, you don't know yet, Fourth Prince," the eldest princess rushed over again and grabbed the conversation, "That Qiu Xun didn't know how to get a noodle pincher to stay in King Qiong's Mansion as a housekeeper, and when he saw Mrs. Shen, he didn't say that he was his former wife, but also said that Qiu Gongzi was his son, and in a fit of anger, Qiu Gongzi stoned the housekeeper to death, and Mrs. Shen was also driven away by Qiu Bohong." ”
The four princes understood a little, it was originally the four princes who went to King Qiong's Mansion to set up Qiu Xun, but they didn't expect to be trapped by Qiu Xun and die in King Qiong's Mansion. The fourth prince gasped, "This woman really can't be underestimated." ”
The next morning, Qiu Bohong asked for leave and didn't come, how could he still have the face to see people.
The civil and military officials also had a lot of discussions, and they all inquired about King Qiong. King Qiong only said that this was the princess's family matter, and he had just returned from northern Xinjiang and did not know much about it.
The prefect has already sent a note to the emperor to explain the matter, and the emperor said in his heart, Qiu Bohong, you are a lack of heart, let the Yun family get rid of it, and make a slut you are a baby, now it's okay, your wife and children are all raised by others.
The emperor had no intention of the early dynasty, and the ministers didn't care about the book, and the early dynasty ended early.
In the coming days, the ministers talked about it in twos and threes.
The four princes only knew that Qiu Heng was trapped by Qiu Xun and went to prison, but they didn't know if they had seen through Qiu Heng's poisoning plan, so they didn't dare to act rashly in the past few days.
For a few months, the four princes also had nothing to do, listening to their new princess play the piano. The fourth princess finished playing a song, got up and asked with a smile, "The fourth princess seems to have been idle recently, and he has time to listen to the princess play the tune." ”
"Alas," the fourth prince was depressed and didn't know who to talk to, so he gave it to his new princess, but he only said how the second princess Qiu Xun helped King Qiong fight for military power and hinder him from becoming the crown prince, but he didn't say how he assassinated King Qiong and poisoned Qiu Xun.
"In the past, the second imperial brother never fought with me, but since he married the second princess Qiu Xun, he will not let an inch go." The fourth prince said helplessly, "King Qiong dotes on Qiu Xun and obeys her, although Qiu Xun is ugly." King Joan never touched her beauty. ”
"Lord Wang, King Naqiong grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has long seen a lot of beauty, and the simplicity of the second princess will naturally make him like it."
The fourth princess pondered for a moment and continued, "The second princess is different, although she is a young lady from an official eunuch, she grew up in the countryside with her mother, but she has never seen a man who is beautiful Pan An and can do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
The fourth prince smiled, "Concubine Ai has never seen Qiu Xun, that woman has a strong temperament and is loyal to King Qiong, and it will definitely not work to separate her from King Qiong." ”
The fourth princess glanced at the fourth prince and said, "The second princess grew up in the countryside, she must not have learned much etiquette, and it won't be too difficult to grab a handle." ”
The fourth prince is also a smart person, and the princess dialed a little, and the mouth suddenly opened.
"It's just how to find this person who is more beautiful than Pan An and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? It's just that I've found it, how to get close to the second princess? The fourth prince was worried.
"The prince doesn't have to be anxious. I have a cousin, his parents died when he was a child, and he was adopted by my parents, and my father took him like his own son, and I learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from the famous teacher invited by my father. ”
"Well, there are people," the fourth prince was embarrassed again, "how to let him get close to Qiu Xun?" ”
"This is easy to do," the fourth princess smiled sweetly, "As long as the prince can invite the second princess into the palace." I have my own way. ”
The little lord of King Qiong's Mansion has been a week old, and the people in the courtyard are watching them catch Zhou, and the family is elated.
"King Qiong, the little prince and the county lord are both one year old, and it's time to give them a name." Qiu Xun said to King Qiong, who had been staring at the little prince and the county lord.
"Ah, this, Aifei, you can get it." Although King Qiong is the prince, since the first queen left, he sent troops to fight at the age of fourteen.
Autumn search comes from modern times wearing books. Culture too. But I don't know anything about ancient names, I have a lot of money, it's okay to be beautiful or something, and it's hard for her if it's a Chinese name that is crepe.
Watching the lively Shi An Gele on the side, he didn't know that Qiu Xun came from a book, he only knew that Qiu Xun grew up in the countryside, and it was just that the Yun family taught her to recognize a few words.
"There are not many learned people up and down King Qiong's mansion, and the names of the little prince and the county lord must be carefully named." Young Master Shi said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
This sentence made King Qiong a little embarrassed.
"Yes, Young Master Shi is right," Qiu Xun thought for a moment and said, "King Qiong, I have an idea. ”
"Aifei, what's your idea?" King Joan asked.
"Our Qiongwang Mansion is so big, and several rooms in the back garden are empty, why don't we hire a gentleman and run a school." Qiu Xun looked at Chun Nuan and the nurse, and continued, "In the future, Chun Nuan will marry someone, and if she wants to find a good family, she always has to recognize a few words, and several children in the nurse's family can't afford to go to school." Later, the little prince and the county lord grew up. I also don't want them to study in the palace, so King Qiong's mansion will set up a school by itself and ask a learned gentleman to teach them. ”
King Qiong looked at Qiu Xun, and secretly admired that his princess was really not an ordinary woman, smart, kind and far-sighted.
"This is a good idea," Young Master Shi raised his thumb, "You can also find some poor children who can't afford to go to school, and you can establish King Qiong's prestige in the hearts of the people, and you can also choose some talented people to work in King Qiong's mansion." ”
A few people were talking in full swing, and the little guy at the door reported that the four princes were here.
King Qiong said in his heart, when did this King Qiong's mansion become crowded, and even the four princes began to come to the door.
After a period of greetings, the fourth prince said to Qiu Xun, "On the day of my wedding, the second imperial brother was stationed in northern Xinjiang, and the second princess was pregnant with Liujia, so she couldn't come. The new concubine has always been apologetic, and will entertain Princess Qiong in the mansion tomorrow, I don't know if I can appreciate her face. ”
Qiu Xun thought to himself, this must be another Hongmen banquet. But I really haven't met the new princess yet, and it's normal for me to meet and get to know her, so it's hard to refuse.
Thinking of this, Qiu Xun nodded at King Qiong, and King Qiong understood, so he said to the four princes, "Fourth emperor brother, where is the word, the new princess has been in the palace for a long time." We haven't visited either, but we'll be going to the feast tomorrow and let the sisters get to know each other. ”
King Qiong and Qiu Xun came to the Four Princes' Mansion as promised.
The new princess was born with a natural beauty, her face is like a peach blossom, she doesn't smile or speak, and she smiles and pours thousands of cities.
The new princess came out with a smile and greeted King Qiong, "I have greeted the second emperor's brother and sister." ”
The more Qiu Xun looks at it, the more he likes it, this is also a beautiful eye-catcher, and anyone is comfortable to watch.
At the banquet, the new princess was sweet-mouthed, and she chatted with Qiu Xun very much.
When the wine reached its climax, the new princess improvised a song for everyone, only to hear Qiu Xun dumbfounded.
"My sister is really smart and beautiful, and she is also proficient in piano skills, calligraphy and painting, she is really talented and intelligent." Qiu Xun praised.
"I learned all this from my husband." The new princess said humbly, "Sister is so smart, she can learn it in one go." ”
"Ao," Qiu Xun came to be interested, his appearance is incomparable, and he can also learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Qiu Xun's curiosity is easy to arouse.
"Sister, teach me." Qiu Xun is a little impatient.
"My sister is too high for my sister, where can I teach my sister." The new princess smiled modestly and said, "But I have a cousin who is better than me, and he has been working as a gentleman in a private school, so he can teach you." ”
"That's great," King Qiong was drinking with the fourth prince, and when he heard the words of the new princess, he said, "We are thinking of opening a school in the mansion and recruiting some children who can't afford to go to school, and we just lack a gentleman." ”
"That would be great," said the new princess, clapping her hands happily, "my cousin is really talented, and he knows everything about poetry and songs, but he is not able to meet talents, and he can be appreciated by King Qiong and the princess." It's also a place where heroes can be used. ”
Back at King Qiong's Mansion, Qiu Xun didn't dare to slack off, and quickly asked Zidie to clean up the study in the back garden, and invited a gardener to plant flowers and plants in the back garden. ”
King Qiong looked at Qiu Xun after being busy, and meditated in his heart, Xun'er is a strange woman, if my grandfather and mother are still alive, they will definitely like her as much as I do.
The school was built, and the nurse was very happy, and she took her children to thank King Qiong Qiuxun for a thousand thanks. In addition, a few children from the neighborhood were brought along. It is also a child from a poor family who can't afford to go to school.
Autumn Xun called purple butterflies and spring warmth. He told them that when he had nothing to do, he could go to the study and listen to his lecture. The two men were full of joy.
Within a few days, the cousin of the fourth princess rushed to the capital from Hangzhou.
