Chapter 46: Mr. Chu
Last night, there was a small snowfall, and the entire Yanwang Palace was paved with a light layer of plain white.
The palace people in each palace swept away the snow before dawn, but only Xiao Yingzhou was still white.
Several gentlemen who lived in Xiaoyingzhou were very fond of snow, so they only asked the palace people to sweep a narrow path for people to walk.
On both sides of the path, dozens of red plum trees are in full bloom. White snow and red plums, pink walls and green tiles, a good glass world, pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Yuan led the curly to step on this narrow path, and after walking a few steps, he stopped to take a look, or commented on the beautiful scenery in front of him.
Walking and stopping all the way, when I arrived at Wei Ruixuan, the shoes on my feet were wet with snow.
Fortunately, Su Su prepared a pair of boots, and hurriedly changed them for Xiao Yuan.
Because of the opening of a small Yingzhou class today, the palace people have already burned the earth dragon in the house and gave birth to a smoke cage. Therefore, it is warm in this room, and I sweat when I sit for a while.
Waiting for Xiao Yuan to take off his coat, the master and servant lay on the smoke cage and took out the snacks on the second layer of the bookcase. While giggling and talking about the fun of having a snowball fight with Chu Chu this morning, he ate a snack at the same time.
It wasn't until he ate a small half plate of dim sum that Mr. Chu Yu, who was teaching in the morning, shook into the room.
According to the news of idle inquiry, this Mr. Chu Yu is six out of fifty this year, and he is the son-in-law of the Chu family, a major clan of Yan State. He is a well-educated person on the same level as the imperial historian Qi Jing, and he is a close friend of Yuan Qizi who lives in seclusion in the Tale Mountain.
Originally, this Mr. Chu Yu was also ready to learn from Yuan Qizi and live in seclusion outside the world, regardless of the world. However, the ancestors of the Chu family had a rule that the descendants of the Chu family should be loyal to the Xiao family of the Dayan royal family for generations.
When it came to Chu Yu's generation, it happened that he was the only one who could handle it. The old lady of the Chu family waved his hand, boy, it's you, go!
Chu Yu has taught two generations of princes and princesses, and because of this, his status in this palace is highly respected, and even Xiao Qian has to call him "sir" when he sees Chu Yu.
He taught the princesses how to read in the morning, and in the afternoon he would go to teach the princes.
Idle said, this Mr. Chu usually likes to drink the most, and he is uninhibited, but he treats the students' homework very seriously, and the eighth princess Xiao Yuanshu and the third son Xiao Jianshi and the fifth son Xiao Jianyu are often punished by him for copying books.
Xiao Yuan knew that his handwriting was ugly, and he was afraid that he would be punished on the first day, so he hurriedly stood up and saluted Chu Yu respectfully: "Ah Hao, say hello to Mr." ”
Chu Yu's face was flushed, and he squinted at Xiao Yuan for a long time, and when he opened his mouth, the smell of wine came to his face, which made Xiao Yuan Hao a little smoky.
"You're the tenth princess who was amazing at a young age?"
Xiao Yuan was flattered: "Mr. praised it falsely, it was all Ah Hao's casual work, and it couldn't be elegant." ”
Chu Yu's eyes opened a slit: "Yo ho, those poems are all masterpieces, but you said them casually?" Ten princesses, you are amazing! Come on, come on, look at the red plum and snow outside, and make a poem to listen to me! ”
Xiao Yuan is so good that he will never fall, I can't wait to slap myself a few times now, so that you can talk more!
As soon as I turned my head, I saw that my eyes were full of the light of worship - my Royal Highness is so smart, you can become a poem if you say it casually!
"Sir, I'm ...... I can't do poetry right now. ”
"Huh? Why? ”
Xiao Yuan was so supportive, looked at the empty room, and suddenly thought to himself: "Because I'm here to go to class!" My sisters came over soon. On the first day I came to class, I had to find out what the class was about, otherwise I would be penalized. ”
"There's no rush to this."
Chu Yu clapped his hands, and a chubby little boy jumped in from outside the door, holding a wine gourd in his arms, and stood in front of Chu Yu, and the little fat hand raised the wine gourd high: "Big man eats wine!" ”
Chu Yu's eyebrows and eyes were suddenly crooked, and his already small eyes smiled into a slit.
He stretched out his hand to take the wine gourd, and was about to pour it into his mouth, when he suddenly remembered that Xiao Yuanhao was beside him, so he coughed and slapped the little boy's head suddenly: "You know how to coax me to eat wine all day long!" What about the "Three Character Classic" that you want to prepare? ”
The little boy ran out of the door aggrieved, and after a while ran in again, holding a book in his hand.
Xiao Yuan took the "Three Character Classic" from the little boy's hand, and when he flipped through it, he was a little bored.
This homework is too simple, it's all about coaxing children to play, she is an adult, and she should go to the court to study water conservancy projects.
I don't know if Xiao Qian will adopt the south-to-north water diversion she proposed.
Chu Yu also pointed at Xiao Yuan with great interest: "Can you read it?" Do you know all the words on it? I'll read the eight sentences first, and you can read them with me, and I'll memorize them today. Tenth princess, you are a talented girl, it shouldn't be difficult to memorize eight sentences a day, right? Your sisters memorized the first eight sentences for three days. Except for the eighth princess, she was remembered for five days. ”
Xiao Yuan forcibly resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and followed Chu Yu to shake his head and read a few words.
Chu Yu was quite satisfied: "Recognize all the "Three Character Classics" as soon as possible, so that I can make a poem for me." It's a pity, the red plum and white snow in front of you, you don't have a good sentence! ”
He looked at the scenery outside the door with his hands down, shook his head, and said that he was mentally ill.
I don't know what incense is burning in the incense burner in the corner, and the smell is a little strong, which makes Xiao Yuanhao dizzy.
She finished the thin "Three Character Classic" in a while, but the sisters had not yet come.
Xiao Yuan simply began to recite silently.
When she was in the Dingguo Mansion, Qi Ruyi also taught her the "Three Character Classic", but she mainly taught her to recognize words, and did not let her recite it. Therefore, although the book is full of traditional characters, Xiao Yuanhao recognizes them all.
Chu Yu waited at the door for a while, and saw that the sky was starting to be gloomy, but there was still no figure on the other side of the path, so he couldn't help but snort angrily and shook his sleeves: "On the first day of class in the first month, you will give me laziness!" Look at how I'm going to punish them tomorrow! Bring the wine! I'm going to have some wine to warm up! ”
After Chu Yu ate a pot of wine, Xiao Yuanhao had already memorized the "Three Character Sutra".
She put the "Three Character Classic" in front of Chu Yu, learned from Chu Yu's appearance, and recited it with her head shaken: "At the beginning of people, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away......"
After memorizing a book, Chu Yu laughed: "Sure enough, she is a talented girl!" The king was extremely intelligent when he was young, and when he was enlightened, he did not recite the "Three Character Classic" word for word in half a day. ”
The smell of wine made Xiao Yuan's head even more dizzy, she covered her nose and took a few steps back, and said hummingly: "Sister Ruyi taught me to recognize the words on the "Three Character Classic" a few years ago. ”
Even though Xiao Yuan was so modest, Chu Yu still regarded Xiao Yuan as a genius: "Does Your Highness know what this means?" Come, I'll tell you about it. ”
Xiao Yuan hurriedly said, "Sir, I know everything." ”
She was afraid that Chu Yu would be verbose again, so she simply memorized a sentence and said a sentence of interpretation.
Chu Yu was so happy that he almost slipped off the chair: "Okay! Good! Good! ”
Chu Yu said three times in a row: "Your Highness will go back today and write this "Three Character Classic" again, and tomorrow you will write it to me silently in front of the court." ”
This is not a difficult thing for Xiao Yuanhao at all, she can even write it to Chu Yu now.
"Sir, it's hard work."
Mama Jiang didn't know when she entered Wei Ruixuan, Chu Yu hurriedly stood up and greeted Mama Jiang.
"Sir, it's snowing outside. Her Royal Highness the Tenth Princess was weak and couldn't stand the cold, so the Queen Mother ordered her maid to ask her husband for a leave, and she took Her Royal Highness back. ”
Chu Yu was very satisfied with Xiao Yuan's good performance, and granted leave without saying a word, but said indignantly that Ming'er must let the other little princesses be punished.
Mama Jiang walked out of Xiaoyingzhou with Xiao Yuan in her arms, but when she saw Aunt Lianfang beside Moon Shadow Lady Li Liangyu, she was in a hurry, as if she was going to the Imperial Doctor's Office.
Seeing Mama Jiang, Aunt Lianfang stopped, saluted Xiao Yuan, and greeted Mama Jiang again.
"Auntie, where are you going? Why didn't the fifth sister go to school? ”
Aunt Lianfang's face was anxious: "If you go back to Your Highness, the fifth princess has a hole in her head!" ”
