Chapter 46 Admission of New Entrants
The annual birthday of the Son of Heaven came to an end in a burst of laughter.
The children in the palace, after a complicated celebration, only had a little rest for a day, and they had to go to the royal school to resume classes according to the rules.
Emperor Zhou Ming didn't care much about when the children would resume classes, and such strict rules were said to have been set by Master Li. This Master Li is rich in five cars and has a very high reputation, and Emperor Zhou Ming agreed after thinking about it for a while.
He Xuan got up early, and under the service of Qing'er and Ruolan, he carefully groomed himself, and went to Mrs. Cai's main hall to have breakfast with his mother and Ji Tai.
"Mother, today's breakfast is really sumptuous!" As soon as He Xuan stepped into the room, he saw a whole table full of dishes, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Isn't it! Sister, you see, green onion egg cake, steamed egg, garlic cucumber, sour and spicy fungus, Sixi roasted bran, steamed beef with xiaolong noodles, pork belly roasted fish, scallion oil noodles, various steamed dumplings, red bean glutinous rice porridge, millet pumpkin porridge, tomato egg gnocchi soup. Mother, my sister and I can't finish eating for a few hours! Ji Tai pulled Hexuan, pointed his little finger at the dishes on the table, and sighed.
He Xuan also felt that there were so many dishes, no matter how hard she and her little brother tried to eat, they couldn't finish eating, and they had to throw away the ones that they couldn't eat, and they couldn't help but feel a little wasteful. After all, this is not a banquet that requires pomp and circumstance.
So, He Xuan echoed and said: "Mother, my little brother and I are going to Lingshudian to attend classes after breakfast in a hurry, so I really don't need my mother to bother preparing so many dishes." We can't finish eating, it's a shame to waste it! ”
Mrs. Cai didn't seem to expect that she got up early in the morning and was busy with the palace people in the small kitchen for an hour, and when He Xuan and Ji Tai saw these dishes, they were not grateful, but full of reproach.
"You two sisters and brothers are really of the same heart! The mother concubine didn't listen to Empress Zhao yet, saying that although Master Li was full of wealth, it seemed that he had been in the people for a long time, and he was too diligent and thrifty! Unexpectedly, what kind of four dishes and one soup were only given to you for lunch, Princess Tianwei was so angry that she cried several times. Mrs. Cai said slowly with a little grievance.
She turned to look at He Xuan and Ji Tai, and said angrily: "It's also thanks to your two children's good temperament and willingness to endure it, and you never mentioned it to me, isn't Master Li going to starve my two children to death?" ”
Only then did He Xuan understand that the concubine had good intentions, and it turned out that she was afraid that they would not be able to eat enough at noon, so she specially made these many meals. So, she patiently explained: "Mother, the fifth emperor sister has always been arrogant, how can the mother concubine take what she said seriously?" Although the four dishes and one soup are true, they are carefully prepared by the imperial dining room. Li Fuzi did not want to embarrass us, but just wanted to teach us diligence and thrift, so that we could understand the hardships of the people's livelihood. ”
Mrs. Cai listened to He Xuan's explanation, nodded again and again, and said slowly: "What Xuan'er said is reasonable." ”
The siblings came to the table, and Ji Tai began to gobble it up.
While drinking red bean glutinous rice porridge, he muttered, "Sister, today's school will be very lively, right?" Yesterday the princes sent several more protons. ”
"Yes, there are several protons of your age. Tai'er don't patronize and join in the fun, it is the right way to ask Dr. Li for teaching. Somehow, as he spoke, he couldn't help but muttered a few words to Ji Tai.
"Sister, when did you see that I was not diligent?" Ji Tai quickly retorted.
Mrs. Cai ate the vegetables in small bites, and watched the two children eat and quarrel with a smile, and the family looked happy.
After breakfast, He Xuan took Ji Tai and rushed to the Ling Shu Palace.
There were a few more tables in the hall, and there were a few unfamiliar faces behind the tables. He Xuan smiled, walked to his seat and slowly sat down.
When the bell rang at the end of the hour, Li Fuzi walked in from the gate of the main hall with steady steps, and walked straight to the table of golden silk nanmu.
After a simple greeting from teachers and students, Li Fuzi motioned for a few new protons to get up and make a brief self-introduction.
"Jin Guo Ji Chengshi, the second son of Queen Qi, just turned ten years old this year." A richly dressed boy with a slightly chubby figure spoke in a deep voice, with a smile on his face and a bright eye.
The children of favored concubines will not be easily sent to Hojing to be protons, let alone the sons of the queen. This Ji Chengshi is an exception.
It is said that he was born during the Battle of a Thousand Mu, and the queen Qi named him Chengshi. Unexpectedly, this name was attacked by the Jin State Doctor's Division, "Division" has the meaning of a large army, and "Cheng" has the meaning of success. Therefore, he once said that the name of the queen's second son would bring civil strife to the Jin Kingdom. 【1】
King Mu of Jin and Queen Mu loved their son, and they had no choice but to send the noble Ji Chengshi to Haojing to avoid facing a more embarrassing situation in the Jin Kingdom.
"Lu Jiyi, eleven years old." A diminutive boy, whispering. Look at the dress, it's very simple.
Lu State is the fiefdom of the younger brother of Emperor Zhou Gongdan, the son of Zhou Gongdan, and the Great Zhou has always had the national policy of thick with the same surname and thin with different surnames. And Emperor Zhou Hui gave Lu the qualifications of "suburban sacrifice to King Wen" and "playing the music of the Son of Heaven", which is not only a remembrance of Zhou Gongdan's merits, but also hopes that Lu State, as a sect, can "enlighten Eryu and assist Zhou". 【2】
He Xuan looked at the thin little boy and couldn't help but think of the chaotic battle between the monarchs of the Lu Kingdom. The catastrophe of the Jin Kingdom was also inseparable from the close relationship between the kings of Lu and Zhou Tianzi in the past dynasties, so I couldn't help but sweat for the princes of the Lu Kingdom in my heart.
"Concubine Xi, the son of King Chen Wu, is twelve years old this year, and has met all the princes and princesses and the protons of various countries." A very clever looking man, with big round eyes, saluted the crowd as he spoke.
He Xuan vaguely remembers that there is an article "Chen Feng Wanqiu" with clouds:
The soup of the son is like a hill. Xun is affectionate, but hopeless.
Kanqi beats the drum, under Wanqiu. There is no winter and no summer, and it is worth its heron feathers.
Kanqi strikes, the way of Wanqiu. There is no winter and no summer, and it is worth its heron. 【3】
The capital of Chen Guo is in Wanqiu, which is the "void of Taihao" in the legend of the ancients. Chenjing is located in the south of the Yellow River, in the upper reaches of Yingshui, and in the north of Huaishui, which is the land of Huaiyang. Due to its proximity to Cai, the relationship between the two countries is particularly close. 【4】
Li Fuzi has always admired Zhou etiquette, and when he saw that Fei Xi was like this, he nodded with a smile.
"Guard. . . Protect.. Auspicious.. This year.. Year.. Ten years old, Wei Wu. The thirteenth son of King Wu, see. See.. I've seen it. Everybody. Wei Rui seemed to have some natural stuttering, and said it intermittently.
The children in the hall looked at Wei Rui's appearance, some exchanged heads, and some hid their faces and snickered.
In the rebellion of the three eunuchs of that year, Emperor Zhou Hui's younger brother Uncle Kang had a meritorious role in pacifying and was initially sealed in Kangguo, and Uncle Kang was named after the country, that is, he took the old place as the name. 【5】
King Wei Wu is a famous virtuous king, and under his governance, the national strength can be said to be thriving. He Xuan muttered to himself in his heart, why did King Wei Wu send a stammering to Ho Jing? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to make this little prince named Wei Rui sad?
Seeing that these naughty boys were so rude, Li Fuzi snorted, and his cold gaze scanned the hall until no one dared to speak again.
Seeing that Ling Shudian was so calm that he could hear a needle falling on the ground, Li Fuzi finally sat down on the cushion slowly, opened one of the scrolls of the Zhou Rites on the golden silk nanmu table, slowly unfolded it, and taught as before.
During the lunch break, He Xuan had a simple lunch and went for a walk alone in the backyard of Ling Shudian.
He Xuan walked to the side of the small pond, there were two steamed buns for lunch, and she couldn't eat so much, so she deliberately hid a steamed bun in her sleeve.
There are many big, fat koi fish in the pond, swimming leisurely in the water, which is enviable.
He Xuan broke off a steamed bun about the size of a round and threw it in the water, when a red and white koi fish swam over, immediately opened its big round mouth, and sucked the round steamed bun into his mouth.
Feeding like this, He Xuan couldn't help asking: "I looked at this koi fish, but I thought of Meng Meng, and I don't know if Meng Meng is good in Zhaohua Palace at the moment." ”
Qing'er was also indignant and said: "It's all that Master Li, who didn't let the princess bring Meng Meng to class, saying that it would affect the order." Meng Meng is so cute and not aggressive, where will it affect him! ”
"Master Li has his own considerations." He Xuan didn't know why, he admired Li Fuzi very much in his heart, and always defended him unconsciously.
"However, after getting along with Meng Meng in the past two days, this little guy is still very humane and smart! Besides, with Ruolan taking care of her, there shouldn't be anything wrong. He Xuan said with a smile, constantly sprinkling steamed buns in his hand, and leaning on a pillar.
Seeing Qing'er's unhappy appearance with a small mouth, He Xuan divided half of the steamed buns in his hand to Qing'er, and said softly: "You can also feed the koi fish with me!" ”
"Who wants to feed these stupid big fat fish, they don't even have one-tenth of their cleverness!" Qing'er rolled her eyes and said angrily. The hand took the steamed bun handed over by He Xuan very honestly,
Qing'er knows in her heart that Hexuan is an approachable and tolerant princess. If it was replaced by another princess, she would have had no idea how many boards she would have suffered, let alone sit with the princess to enjoy it. Although she didn't say anything, a smile had changed to a smile on her face.
"Second princess." An extremely light and gentle male voice slowly entered He Xuan's ears.
