Chapter 53: History and Stories
The abnormality of burning the heart is naturally unable to escape the eyes of the old waiter, thinking that the masters of the Jiang Mansion are aware of it, but the group of people led by Jiang Yanlin still go their own way.
One sunny afternoon, Jiang Yanlin was summoned by the little guy guarding the door after getting out of the people's livelihood debate class.
The old marquis was invited, so he naturally had to go, and after going back and changing into a set of homely bimonthly white brocade shirts, he leisurely shook to the front of the pseudo-thatched house.
The old man is still fishing with the breeze, and he is calm and comfortable, like a dying old man who is living in the old age.
"What do you want to do?" Fortunately, this time he didn't wait too long, and the old man was the first to speak.
Jiang Yanlin looked at the old waiter who was paying attention to the movement of the water surface, shook her head with a smile, and found that the other party couldn't see it at all, and said calmly and casually, "Back to grandfather, I don't want to do anything, it's just that I thought that after my twelfth birthday, the children of the Jiang family would go out to study at the age of thirteen, but I think my daughter's family is not as convenient as a man, so I should prepare early, grandfather, do you say yes?" ”
Under the warm sunshine, the girl is slim, the mischievous summer breeze blows a strand of hair, the head is slightly tilted and smiling, and the bright star eyes are dazzling.
The child has grown up.
This is the first thought that floated in the heart of Jiang Lao Houye, and once again he really understood that this was no longer the small group of the past, the last time it was the bad old man who died to doubt, and this time he came to resist...
Very good.
"What if grandfather thinks it's bad?"
Jiang Yanlin frowned and a trace of helplessness crossed her heart, sure enough, her grandfather would not agree, although she had long known that she was not so tolerant or worried! She is not good at negotiation (??? _??)?。
But it's not useless to make a big move these days, my grandfather is paying attention to her, so it's even if it's filed here, and it won't have much impact if she sneaks away in the future, anyway, someone will deal with the aftermath.
As for whether you will slip out if you are stared at, and whether you can catch it again, these things will be selectively forgotten!
After thinking about these things clearly, Jiang Yanlin was much more relaxed, she didn't even pretend to be flat when she didn't even speak, and replied casually, "Then what does grandfather think, anyway, there is enough time, you can prepare slowly." ”
"Well, it's really not in a hurry, you want to prepare first, as far as your little girls who haven't been far away can know, let Mama Dou go and help you get through the eyes first, and you can also learn a little on the side." Old Master Jiang nodded, smiling meaningfully.
It's a good thing that the child grows up and has ideas, compared to those stinky boys, his little good granddaughter is the first time to clearly express what she wants and what she wants to do.
In the past, it was all the requirements of these elders who asked for this, and the people who were angry when they thought of this had a pain in their livers, and the girls of the Jiang family didn't need to please anyone, they just needed to have a healthy body, be wanton, and sway their youth. What are the four books and five classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, just learn one or two things to cultivate sentiment, but unfortunately one of them had to show its existence back then, and her poor little good granddaughter didn't know how to refuse, so she gritted her teeth and learned almost one by one... However, although he has a heart to compensate, he can't rely on her for this study tour.
"Do you know why you want to study?" Jiang Lao Hou Ye Xu was guilty or on a whim, but talked about the rise of study tours.
As a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, the major events during the reign of various generations of emperors naturally have their own records. The rise of study tours, Jiang Yanlin naturally read it in the book, but she thought that the version at home and the version on the official book were similar but not the same, and she had a trace of interest, perhaps, this is a different story.
There is no need to urge, the old man said with the scriptures in his own care:
"Back then, the first empress in the history of the Xuanming Kingdom succeeded to the throne, and it was when the government and the opposition were in turmoil, and when there were internal and external troubles, the officials were only for their own selfishness, deceiving the superiors and concealing the subordinates, causing the people to suffer unspeakably. It is said that at that time, an egg cost ten taels of silver to enter the palace, and what entered the emperor's mouth, even a mouthful of water, was sky-high. ”
Old Master Jiang put down the fishing rod, poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it gently. Jiang Yanlin's eyes were deep thinking, the two histories she once knew did not have such a beginning. Seeing that Jiang Yanlin was not the slightest surprised, let alone refuted, but thoughtful, Jiang Lao Hou nodded with satisfaction. It's much better than her father, and when the third child heard this, he broke a set of his favorite water moire teacups.
"The empress was furious when she learned of the succession, and she made great rectifications, established laws, and ordered people to investigate and secretly visit, and even advocated that young children travel everywhere. After this, the major families have a study tour, that is, to prevent those who deceive the upper and lower levels, of course, they can also increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons.
Ahem, it's far away. That is a shame in the history of Xuanyu, and future generations only need to be vigilant. As for the contemporary emperor, although he does not have the eloquence of the empress, it is not yet to the point where all the people are fighting. Besides, for a long time, most families have relaxed this law, that is, they abide by the ancient family rules, and they just go around casually with men and crowns, and as for women, they are even more eager to carry their homes on their backs, and the family will arrange them properly, and go to live in a relative's house a little farther away for a few months......"
"How did the Empress find out?" Jiang Yanlin sat at the table with the old lady and asked questions.
The little girl asked delicately, her eyes were just pure curiosity and questions, as if she had just found a loophole in the story and wanted people to fill it up.
Leak? The old man laughed heartily at the words made up by his own brain, yes, this is just a story, and it is still a story with loopholes.
"Well, then grandfather doesn't know, maybe the empress has been living in the royal garden when she was a princess, or maybe the garden happens to be in the middle of nowhere."
The two foxes, one big and one small, looked at each other and smiled, and this topic was never mentioned again.
When a man sits at home, evil comes from heaven. This kid is really much stronger than the third child! I just wanted to use this thing to implicitly persuade her to dispel the idea of studying abroad, who would have thought that she would be taught a lesson, so she was cautious in her words and deeds, the little girl did better than him.
The old man sighed deeply, and Jiang Yanlin also had a lot of thoughts.
My grandfather mentioned more than once that the saint is not very powerful today, but today he talks about that inglorious history, and combined with what is written in the history books, how wise the emperor is. It shows that the emperor does not want anyone to talk about the mistakes of his ancestors, not the empress, but the one before the empress......
Whether it's an unintentional mistake or a temptation, she has passed this level anyway. As for the family not paying attention to it, no matter what other families do, if the Jiang family doesn't pay attention to it, there will be no hidden travel, so this is not a reason, and it can't be an excuse to stop her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yanlin was satisfied, and as for the rest, let it disperse with the wind.
An old man and a young ancestor and grandson each tasted tea with their own thoughts, until the sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, which broke the strange peace here.
