Zhu San was about to walk over to check on his younger brother's situation, but when he heard this, he looked sideways and said, "It's one thing for you to save us, but what does this have to do with your study?" You...... Why do you think Sui Jiaoxi will accept you as a student? ”

"Sister...... Third brother, he ...... He saved us......"

Zhu Si is still more realistic, and feels that not only is the rabbit that caused Zhu Hao to be gone, but the sister and brother who fell into the water are all thanks to Zhu Hao's rescue, and they feel sorry.

Zhu Hao said: "You can do whatever you want, I'll go down the mountain first." ”

"Hey, don't go!"

Zhu San saw it, and Zhu Hao had the heart to go back and inform the adults about it, so that the fact that she took her younger brother out in distress would no longer be a secret.

Zhu Hao looked impatient: "What else are you going to do?" My rabbits are gone, can you still compensate me for the loss? ”

Zhu San said: "You ...... We really can't help you become a disciple of Sui Jiaoxi, Sui Jiaoxi is to raise people and do things for the palace, and will not accept people from outside as students casually. ”

Hey, it looks like there's a lot of fun!

"I don't ask for anything else, as long as I can read, if not...... I can enter the Xingwang Mansion and be a companion student with you, I just don't want to be an apprentice at such a young age and become a pawn when I grow up...... As long as you are willing to help me, I will take you out to catch rabbits in the future, and I will take you to more interesting places. ”

Zhu Hao's attitude was extremely sincere this time.

Zhu Si asked, "What is a companion reading boy?" ”

Zhu San explained: "It's just the little boy who follows you and reads together, and he can be regarded as a subordinate." ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Si was a little confused, how could anyone still take the initiative to be a slave?

Zhu San frowned: "But...... We don't accept any scholars. ”

Zhu Hao shook his head, "Looking at your appearance, I think your status is very noble, right?" I have not experienced the sufferings of the world...... If you tell your elders that you want to find a scholar and recruit them from outside the house, the elders will agree. ”

"Third brother, let's promise him, anyway, it's nothing if someone is studying with us."

Zhu Si was the first to be moved, "We can play with him in the future and let him take us to catch rabbits, he is so powerful, and he saved us." ”

Seeing that Zhu Si was a good boy who knew how to repay his kindness, Zhu Hao secretly praised him in his heart!

Zhu San pursed his lips: "Is this kind of thing something we can decide?" If you ...... with your father He will ask us why, should we tell us what is happening today? ”

Zhu Sidao: "But if you don't say it, he will say it." ”

This time Zhu San is even more difficult.

Zhu Hao approached: "As long as you are willing to help me, I will teach you how to say it...... I just want to enter the palace to study with you, and I will have the opportunity to take the imperial examination in the future, but I don't sign a deed of sale...... If you agree, we'll go down the mountain together, and I'll explain it to you in detail on the way. ”

Zhu San seems to have a lot of ideas, but in fact, he is just a child, how can there be Zhu Hao's city?

Seeing that it was not early, she was afraid that there would be any accidents on the road, so she could only agree to go back to the city with Zhu Hao.

……

……

The three went down the mountain.

Zhu Si's body is still a little weak, and he needs Zhu Hao's help many times, as for Zhu San, he has also fallen into the water, and he is still a girl again, it is good to be able to walk down the mountain by himself, and he has no time to take care of others.

"Thank you for saving us."

Seeing that there was a state city in front of him, Zhu San was a little reluctant to go, and whispered to Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao helped Zhu Si, looked at the road ahead, and said as he walked: "In the future, you must be careful when you come out to play, don't be frizzy, no one may rescue you next time." ”

Zhu San immediately thought of dragging Zhu Hao into the water and being rescued by him.

Feel even more guilty.

"You say...... If we want to enter the palace to be a scholar, what should we do? Zhu San asked.

Zhu Hao said: "You just tell the elders in the family that you want to find a few peers in the city, no matter where you come from, as long as you are talented and knowledgeable, you will be summoned to the palace to study with you...... In that case, your elders should agree to find a scholar for you. ”

Zhu San's face was full of surprise: "Why do you say that?" ”

Zhu Hao thought to himself, with your child's head, can I explain it to you clearly?

Others don't understand that King Xing's son is the first heir to the throne, will your father not know?

With the principle of the Ming brother and the elder brother, even if your father is alive, the last person to inherit the throne must be Zhu Si, a kind-hearted little guy, will your father not consider the need for someone to assist him to sit on the throne in the future?

Xingwang's Mansion is unusually closed, but the more tightly he wraps himself, the more people outside want to snoop on.

If King Lao Xing is smarter, then he should understand the truth that blocking is better than sparse, and accepting children who have the talent to read in the city to study with their sons is equivalent to breaking the closed shell, the fewer secrets in the palace, the lower the defense of the court, and the greater the possibility of the corresponding son approaching the center.

Once you make this proposal, you may be able to give your old father an inspiration, and if there are still staff members to analyze it, you will feel that the ideas of the two children have been mistaken, which is very in line with the current situation faced by the Xingwang Mansion.

That's when I had a chance to blend in.

"I want to read...... If you don't say that, what do you think is the best way to say it? Zhu Hao can only be sloppy.

Zhu San nodded: "We will do the same when we go back, but if it doesn't work...... Will you still talk about today? ”

Zhu Hao shrugged and did not answer.

You've said it all, what can I do?

If you don't help me, I can only make public the fact that you two bear children went out of the city and fell into the water, maybe your father will be grateful for the next moment of soft-heartedness, and he will also recruit me into the palace!

Zhu Si asked, "Is it when you choose a scholar, I and ...... Third brother, choose you together? ”

Zhu Hao smiled: "It's still the eldest brother who understands things, that's it, but even if I really learn from others, I am confident that I am not inferior to others, Mr. Lu is so highly knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he still chooses me as a student?" Believe in my strength. ”

"Brag."

Zhu San stuck out his tongue when he heard this, but the expression on his face was much relieved.

Zhu Hao said: "After the planing and finally fell into the pool, I still had a lot of fun today, if I can really enter the Xingwang Mansion in the future, let's sneak out together to play, okay?" ”

Zhu San looked at Zhu Hao and asked, "Do you know where there are rabbits?" ”

"Not to mention rabbits, I can catch birds...... I've grown up in the fields, catching civets in the winter and sticking to them in the summer, and I'm telling you that it's especially easy to catch rabbits in the winter, as long as you find the rabbit road, bury a snow pit, and use a wire under the sleeve to catch them...... I know a lot of weird things, and it's normal for you to be fine and well-fed since you were a child. ”

Zhu San and Zhu Si both had yearning in their eyes.

They grew up in the palace, and their daily routines were arranged, as regular as clocks, and they had no chance to enjoy the free and easy life of ordinary children, and now that they have reached the age of playfulness and excitement, of course they will feel that the picture depicted by Zhu Hao is the paradise of their dreams.

Zhu Si couldn't help but grab his sister's sleeve, the meaning was obvious, how could he get Zhu Hao into the palace and let the little brother take us to live this life!

Seeing the wide open city gate, Zhu Hao pointed to the shops on both sides of the official road: "There are ready-to-wear shops in this shop, do you have any money with you?" We spent more than a dozen yuan to buy a few ordinary children's clothes to change into, and when we entered the city, we would not be discovered by the officers and soldiers. ”

Zhu San hurriedly touched his pocket.

That's when she realized that the purse was missing.

"Oops, my purse fell into the pool, it was my mother's hand-embroidered purse......"

"I ...... I didn't bring any money. ”

Zhu San and Zhu Si set their eyes on Zhu Hao at the same time.

Zhu Hao frowned: "Why are you like this?" I'm here...... It's more than a dozen dollars, but it's all for my mother's medicine, if I don't have this money in two days, my mother's medicine won't be renewed......"

Zhu San said: "Stingy ghost, we will pay you back when we turn back, you hurry up and take the money to buy us clothes, you are wet, and you will definitely be interrogated by officers and soldiers when you enter the city." ”

That's what I want.

Zhu Hao's purpose is to make the two children owe him, even if he can't enter the palace this time, he will have the opportunity to meet again.

"I said that I must return it, if I don't have the money to buy medicine for my mother, I will ......" Zhu Hao pouted and looked aggrieved, as if this would really put his family in trouble.

Zhu Si's tone was firm: "Zhu Hao, don't worry, you saved us, if you don't even pay back your mother's money for medicine, then we are too different things." ”

Zhu Hao nodded: "In this case, then we can be regarded as friends, you can't sit idly by if your friends are in trouble, you must help me enter the palace!" ”

……

……

Zhu Hao had already arranged everything.

In the city takeaway clothing shop, children's clothes are specially prepared, more than one set, and the materials are very good.

If the two little ones have a little social experience, they should know that three sets of clothes without patches, even children's clothes, can't be taken down for more than a dozen cents.

Got dressed and went well when we got into town.

Zhu San and Zhu Si hurried home.

When entering the gate of the palace, the guards noticed something abnormal, but because of the difference between the master and the servant, Zhu San had also sneaked out before, so he didn't ask much.

But after the old Xingwang Zhu Youqi got the report, he immediately sent someone to call the two children to the study.

In front of the desk, Zhu Youqing, who was dressed in a python robe, was sitting precariously, his face was calm, and the jade wrench finger on his hand was damaged in several places, but he still regarded it as a treasure, twisting it with his fingers from time to time.

The two children did something wrong, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

"Why didn't you read at the end of the day? Where did you go? Zhu Youqi's eyes were sharp as lightning when he asked, and he was not angry and arrogant.

Zhu Sanzhi hesitated: "We ...... We went out of the house to play. ”

Zhu Youqi's face became more and more cold: "Where to play?" ”

"Go...... Go to town. ”

Zhu San didn't lie once or twice, and in the past, he would find some excuses to check the people's customs and feelings, but this time, in order to avoid being known that he and his younger brother fell into the water, he could only confess to play in the city.

Zhu Youqi said with a dark face: "It's just that you are not honest yourself, why do you want to bring your younger brother with you?" He also ran out secretly, and he didn't even bring the guards, can you afford to take care of something that happens? ”

At this moment, an old Confucian with gray hair and a square scarf with gray hair and a square scarf came in, about sixty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and saluted Zhu Youqi with a smile.

It was Shi Yuan Zonggao, the head of the palace.

Yuan Zonggao, Shishou people, Hongzhi three years of Jinshi, Xingwang Mansion Changshi Division right long history, Xingwang Zhu Youqi one of the right-hand men, in the left long history Zhang Jingming returned to Jiangyin, Zhejiang at the beginning of the ninth year of Zhengde to defend the system, Yuan Zonggao became the pillar of the palace.

In history, Yuan Zonggao ascended the throne with Zhu Houyu from the dragon, and entered the cabinet as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and helped Zhu Houyu put forward a great gift proposal, but he died of illness four months later.

As for Zhang Jingming, he died of illness in the same year as Yuan Zonggao, but died at the beginning of the year before Zhu Houxi ascended the throne, and his status and treatment were very different from Yuan Zonggao.

"King Xing, it is the nature of children to be playful, go to the city to wander around only to observe the people's feelings, there is no need to be too harsh, as long as you don't tell you after teaching, someone will follow."
