The capital in winter is uncomfortable, and the cold wind and dry climate alone make Nanyu reluctant to go out and move around.

The stove in the house was burning very strongly, and Nanyu stared at the persimmon tree outside the window without saying a word.

It's been five days, and Pomegranate Yupei didn't give any clues, when he died, it should have been the third year of Hongyuan, what happened after that, so that the teacher paid such a big price to exchange me back?

Infernal Hell has no concept of time elapsing, and Nanyu has no way of knowing how long she has been wandering in it, so she can't deduce in which year Li Yuan used the Morning and Dusk Technique.

"Whatever the reason, it should have been a huge change that made the teacher make this decision," Nanyu analyzed, "So what could it be?" ”

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Xiangru walked in with a bowl of Yanjin plums open the warm curtain, and saw Nanyu staring out the window, "The master knows that you love to eat Yanjin plums, so he specially instructed me to go to Yongzhou Commercial Bank today to buy them back, and they just entered Beijing from Yongzhou, which is all fresh this year." ”

"Dad actually remembers that I love to eat plums," Nanyu came back to his senses and said with some joy, "Dad didn't come to see me for so many days, so he knew what it meant to give me some homework and watch these "Female Virtues" and "Female Commandments." ”

"Miss, the master comes back every day to light the lamp in the study and boil oil, it should be really busy with official business, you eat some plums, don't lose your temper with the master," Xiangru said, "Today I went to the trading house, and the guys said that this Yanjin plum is the freshest, and it is worse than eating it in Yongzhou." ”

Nanyu picked up a plum and threw it into her mouth, it tasted really good, and picked up another plum and stuffed it into Xiangru's mouth, before Xiangru could speak, she said, "I'll go out first, you put the plums on the desk, eat them if you want, and send some of the more plums I bought today to my mother, and then distribute the rest to Aunt Yang and a few cooks." ”

Xiangru was just about to ask where Nanyu was going, but she ran out with a smoke.

Nan Yu went straight to Nan Yuanshan's study, "Official business? That makes sense, the teacher changed me back to the world, it must be that the political situation will change in the future, causing irreparable disasters, maybe the exile of Baiguan in the second year of Hongyuan is not the darkest moment. ”

Nanyu pushed the door and walked in, only to see a huge map of Dasheng mountains and rivers hanging in the study of Nanyuan Mountain, and the location and topography of each state and city were clearly visible.

Nanyu's fingertips gently traced the route from the capital to Qingzhou, and only he knew the thrill and sadness of this way.

""Women's Virtue" and "Women's Training" can't change their fate, they can only become a subsidiary of both glory and loss, and I don't want to be fish anymore", Nan Yu thought.

She looked at the bookcases in Nanyuanshan neatly arranged with books such as "Analects", "Zizhi Tongjian", and "Warring States Policy", stood on tiptoe to take down one, sat cross-legged next to the bookshelf and began to read.

At dusk, Nan Yu took advantage of the fact that Nan Yuanshan had not yet returned home, put the book back on the bookshelf and quietly slipped back to the room.

The days of secretly reading like this lasted for more than a month.

In spring, the climate in the capital began to warm up.

""Zizhi Tongjian" finally read "Jin Ji", I read it quite fast," Nanyu stood up in the study, stretched, and said to herself, watching the persimmon tree in the courtyard bud, she wanted to climb the tree with the book in her arms.

Unfortunately, the persimmon tree was too tall to climb up the trunk, so I had to retreat to the next best thing, climbed the courtyard wall next to the persimmon tree, and when I raised my head, I could see the branches that had sprouted.

Nanyu curled up one leg, put the book on her lap, and squinted against the sunlight to read word by word, until the sound of chasing and fighting distracted her.

There were a few teenagers playing in the yard next door, the boy at the head was a little older, thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a light gold and dark flower round-necked robe, holding a bamboo flute, and he was followed by a few young boys of seven or eight years old, chasing him for the flute in his hand.

Nanyu has no brothers, and the family is not prosperous, looking at the scene of frolicking in the yard next door, he felt funny, and gently covered his mouth and smiled.

Just wanted to continue studying, but she was also noticed, and a clear young voice interrupted her.

"Hey, which lady are you to secretly watch us for so long?"

It was the young man who was teasing his younger brothers just now, who stood on the rockery and looked at Nanyu from afar.

He was really tall and handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, fair skin, and was looking at her with a smile.

Nan Yu immediately turned red with shame, and he didn't dare to look at him squarely, forcing himself to defend with a straight face, "I didn't peek at you, it's you who are too noisy to affect my reading", so don't turn your face.

He then asked, "Dare to ask this young lady, what kind of classics are you watching?" ”

"Have you read "Zizhi Tongjian"?" Nanyu said with some pride.

"Xiaosheng is not talented, I just finished reading it a few days ago."

"Then I'll test you," Nan Yu was a little unconvinced, turned to him and said, "If you can't answer, you won't be allowed to make me study tomorrow." ”

"Please," he bent slightly, with a confident expression.

In "Jin Ji (Yizhou Thorn History)", Shan Tao once said, "Since he is not a saint, there must be internal worries in the outer Ning, and now he is afraid of the outside, isn't it counted?" "Why is King Wu still afraid, wouldn't it be a good idea to crusade directly?" Nanyu asked.

"Yizhou Thorn Wang Jun Shangshu said that Sun Huang is obscene and rebellious, and it is advisable to conquer quickly. If once he dies, he will be a strong enemy. Helplessly, some people in the court were afraid of war, and were confused by the illusion of martial law in Wu State, thinking that their soldiers were strong and strong, and they were waiting for them with all their might, but in fact this was just the end of a strong crossbow. ”

He paused, stroked the bamboo flute in his hand, and continued, "It can be seen that even if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, there will still be a stalemate between the two parties in the court, and different interest groups will govern each other, but King Wu is cruel and tyrannical, unpopular with the people, and his destruction is just around the corner." ”

Seeing that Nanyu didn't answer, he asked, "I don't know what to reply, is Miss satisfied?" ”

"Yes, Miss Ben has allowed you to continue playing here tomorrow," Nanyu turned over and jumped off the courtyard wall.

It's night.

Nan Yu lay on the bed and couldn't help but recall the young man's answer in the afternoon, "Different interest groups are in charge of each other, which can correspond to the phenomenon of the East and West Second Factories and their dogs and horses controlling the government in the future, which directly leads to the poor livelihood of the people and the weakening of the national strength, so they will soon face external troubles." ”

"So what exactly is the external threat? Now it's still Haiyan River Qing, where did this start? Nanyu was puzzled and couldn't sleep all night.

The sky was dark, and while Nanyuan Mountain was going up, Nanyu secretly ran into the study.

The bookshelves were full of classics, and there were no books such as travelogues or geography, so Nanyu was a little frustrated, so he had to settle for the next best thing and take down a history of the founding of Dasheng.

It has been more than 230 years since the founding of Dasheng, and the founding emperor Guangwu Emperor conquered all directions, overthrew the brutal rule of King Zhou Lingcheng, the last emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and put an end to the era of turmoil in various places, and the collusion between officials and bandits to prey on the common people.

In addition, Emperor Guangwu abolished the inheritance system of official positions, and the children of officials were not allowed to be in the same area as their clansmen if they were engaged in politics, in order to avoid suspicion.

He also stipulated that the children of local officials could enter Beijing to study, and there were different faculties in the capital, which were divided into pharmacy, science, music fang, Qin Tianjian, and Gyeonggi camp, etc., and after completing their studies, they would be awarded different official positions, ranging from the seventh rank to the fifth grade, and the imperial court would assign them to different counties and counties to assist the local government in managing affairs.

"Because of this, there are very few gentlemen in my court," Nanyu smiled when he saw this.

The rain was pouring outside the window, and Nanyu, who hadn't slept well all night, fell asleep in the study with the history book on her pillow, until Xiangru woke her up.

"Miss, the master is coming back, it's dinner time, you get up and go to the dining room", Xiangru's tone was a little anxious.

Nan Yu rubbed her eyes, realizing that her father Nan Yuanshan was about to go home, she suddenly pulled up Xiangru and ran back to her bedroom.

"Xiangru, help me re-tie my hair, I tied it myself when I got up this morning, and it doesn't look as good as you," Nanyu sat in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, with a sad face, "If my father sees me like this, he probably said that he would let me read "Female Virtue", and let my mother test me." ”

"Miss, you have been going to the study every day during this time, except for the morning and noon meals, the slaves and maids can't see you, why do you go to the study every day?" Xiangru asked.

"Go and read a book, read more than 10,000 volumes, and write like a god" Nanyu leaned on Xiangru with her upper body, stretched out her legs, and shook like a swing.

She continued, "Xiangru, do you know, there is no way to change your fate by watching "Female Virtue" and "Female Commandment", what kind of ability can you manage your family, it's not about looking at people's faces, I want to build a career by myself, instead of marrying a wife and running a family." ”

"Does the young lady want to be a female officer?" Xiangru asked.

"It can also be said that I want to learn the knowledge that can be applied to the world, and then go to educate the people," Nanyu looked at himself in the mirror with a firm look in his eyes.

"Miss, Xiangru accompanies you wherever you go, and your hair is combed," Xiangru said as she gently touched the bun that Nanyu had combed on, "like a little rabbit," she added.

Inside the dining room.

When Nan Yu saw Nan Yuanshan returning home, he straightened his demeanor and hurriedly gave him tea, and Xue Wan came to help him take off his cloak.

The night in early spring was still cold, the stove in the house was burning very strong, Nanyu was sitting at the dining table wearing a newly made goose-yellow fried-edged fox fur bijia, and Nan Yuanshan was slowly sipping tea, and he didn't move his chopsticks for a long time.

Nanyu knew that this was to examine her homework.

"But I've only turned two pages of those two books," she said, a little anxious, "I thought I'd have to test me at least when my father was on vacation, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." ”

Xue Wan looked at Nan Yu with an embarrassed face, so she opened her mouth and said, "Xianggong, I think it's okay to forget it today, you are tired when you come back from the next dynasty, Pingzhen has been studying her homework these days, why don't you wait for you to take a vacation and then test her." ”

Nan Yuanshan didn't answer, and continued to drink tea, and the atmosphere began to stagnate.

"It's okay," Nan Yuanshan finally said to Nan Yu, "You are ten years old now, and you have four years to go, so you must not slack off on your homework, so as not to fall into the laughing stock of people after marriage." ”

"Yes, my daughter knows," Nanyu hurriedly responded, secretly relieved in her heart, and scooped herself a bowl of winter melon pork rib soup to suppress her shock.

"Heh, what a laughing stock, whether I have the ability to be a housekeeper and tolerate the measure of concubines, my father-in-law and mother-in-law will pick on them, and books such as "Female Virtue" can only make women learn to adapt to being troubled, I really don't understand what there is to learn about these," Nan Yu thought while drinking soup, secretly planning to enter the Qin Heavenly Prison.
