Chapter 10: Taifu
After a week of dire suffering, He Qianwei's master and servant finally came out of Ruolan's name one after another, and they no longer had to practice etiquette with a fruit bowl every day.
And He Qianwei is finally going to officially go to the study to report.
On the first day, He Qianwei wanted to arrive early and make a good impression of diligence and learning in front of Taifu, but who knew that she got up early in the morning and rushed to the study with the flying mirror, and it was a closed door.
Looking at the closed wooden door, He Qianwei only felt that the enthusiasm for studying that had nowhere to be placed was like being poured with a bucket of cold water on his head, and the snort disappeared with the water vapor.
Feijing was also a little silent, but in line with the principle that Miss must be right, he still racked his brains to appease: "At least the diligent and diligent learners have been established." ”
No, it didn't stand up at all.
He Qianwei thought to herself, the character that was not seen was meaningless, and when the time came, I couldn't point to this door and say, I didn't even open the door when I came today, right?
It's too deliberate not to mention it, maybe Taifu will feel offended.
And even if you can implicitly say that you arrived early, it will only be counterproductive, and you will almost stick these three big characters on your face.
After losing the first battle, He Qianwei sadly began to think about a remedy.
Yaoguang Hall must not be able to go back, otherwise, find a pavilion around the upper study to sit and come back when the time is almost up?
She thought about it seriously, and she didn't hear the footsteps behind her and the greetings that were held back in the middle of the flying mirror, so that she was suddenly slapped on the shoulder and trembled in fright, and turned around like an electric shock, looking vigilant.
Then I saw Xiao Zaiyang with an inexplicable face.
"......" He Qianwei looked at the other party's hand hanging in the air and hadn't had time to withdraw it without saying a word, and said tentatively: "Your Highness, the next time you have something to look for me, can you make a sound first?" ”
Xiao Zaiyang, who didn't realize how frightened He Qianwei was by his actions at all, nodded in confusion: "Then remember to turn around the next time you hear Miss He." ”
"There are so many noble girls with the surname He, who knows which girl you are calling?"
He Qianwei knew that her words were more or less provocative, but what she said was the truth!
Xiao Zaiyang groaned: "Or, other noble girls surnamed He, I will be called Miss He?" ”
"You don't really want to do that." He Qianwei didn't expect that he would really think seriously according to his words, and he inevitably felt a little guilty for a while.
With a remedial mind, she suggested another solution: "It's better to just call me the little print." ”
“…… Green? Xiao Zaiyang said tentatively.
He knew He Qianwei's small characters. After all, Jiang Ruwan always brought her young daughter with her when she entered the palace, and she had called this name more than once.
But after all, Jiang Ruwan has always paid attention to not letting him be too close to He Qianwei, the friendship between the two is not close, and there is a gap between men and women in the middle.
He Qianwei was younger, and only vaguely remembered that she had a barely friendship with Xiao Zaiyang when she was a child, and the rest were all forgotten, and she asked in surprise when she heard this title: "Do you know?" ”
"Then call me that." He Qianwei raised her head smugly, and her tone was a little arrogant, "There are so many Miss He, but I am the only one in Qingqing." ”
Xiao Zaiyang seemed to smile: "Okay." ”
As he spoke, he called out again: "Qingqing." ”
He Qianwei agreed cooperatively, and when she looked back at the locked door of the upper study, she finally remembered what was going on, and her expression immediately praised.
Xiao Zaiyang followed her gaze and had an epiphany.
He reached out and grabbed it in his sleeve, then put the thing in front of He Qianwei and shook it: "What are you doing with a sad face?" It's not that you can't get in. ”
Xiao Zaiyang carried a brass key in his fingertips.
He Qianwei's eyes lit up, and she immediately held the lower end of the key. Pleasantly surprised.
"The key to the study?"
"I asked Ji Xiu to go to the Internal Affairs Office to get it last night, and I have to return it after today."
Xiao Zaiyang gave an affirmative answer, let go of his hand and handed the key to He Qianwei, explained the ins and outs, and said: "It's good to come later in the future, Taifu doesn't care about these things." Otherwise, I can only accompany you to blow the cold wind. ”
He Qianwei had already unscrewed the door lock and pushed the door open, and when she heard this, she turned around and asked him curiously, "Why do you say that you will blow the cold wind with me?" ”
Xiao Zaiyang smiled: "What did I do so early in the past?" It's not for you. ”
He Qianwei coughed weakly, and promised to come later next time.
The two stepped into the upper study one after another.
He Qianwei circled around the rows of tables and chairs in the room, worrying about where to sit, but Xiao Zaiyang sat down in his usual seat familiarly, and beckoned: "Come here." ”
He backhanded his knuckles and glanced at the desk next to him.
He Qianwei carried things over.
But she didn't sit down for the first time, but confirmed the fact that there was no one here with Xiao Zaiyang, and then put her books and stationery on the table with peace of mind.
As for whether there is anything wrong with sharing a table with the prince, He Qianwei thought without any psychological burden, anyway, Xiao Zaiyang took the initiative to let him sit here, even if the sky fell, someone would stand up first.
She even had the leisure to chat with Xiao Zaiyang without a pair, waiting for others to arrive.
The third person who stepped into the upper study was a little Langjun in a moon-white robe, holding a folding fan in his hand and dangling leisurely down the path, while the little maid behind him carried other objects he needed for class.
When this little Langjun stepped into the door, the first thing he saw were two attendants sitting on the side.
Xiao Zaiyang took Ji Xiu as always, Xiao Langjun thought that he was half an acquaintance with the chief eunuch of the East Palace, nodded at him with a smile, and sighed in his heart for the prince's perseverance in every exam but still studious.
As for the flying mirror next to him, he didn't care about it, he just thought it was the attendant of the new lady from the family, and after glancing at it, he sat down in his seat by himself.
The attendant who followed behind Xiao Langjun put the things in his hand on the table and sat on the side.
Only then did Xiao Langjun have the heart to say hello to Xiao Zaiyang.
In fact, he really wanted to do it as soon as he entered the door, but the saint said that there were only students in the study and there was no prince, so he had to make a show.
Seeing that Xiao Zaiyang nodded, he was about to say hello to He Qianwei, but before the words could be spoken, the whole person paused with a funny face, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, ...... this?" ”
Xiao Zaiyang looked at He Qianwei, who was halfway up with a smile next to him and then took it back, raised his hand to hide his cough: "General He Xiuzhu's daughter, He Qianwei." ”
After speaking, he whispered to He Qianwei: "Situ Ce, the youngest son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, acts a little ...... Well, in short, nature is not bad. ”
He tried his best to be tactful, so He Qianwei also tactfully labeled the person in front of him: his brain is not very good.
It was an honor for the prince to personally introduce him, Situ Ce nodded dizzily, and said in a loud voice that Miss He was good, in exchange for He Qianwei's perfunctory words.
The people who came back later were much more normal than Situ Ce in all aspects, and seeing He Qianwei, who was at the same table with the prince, also stabilized his expression, but there are exceptions to everything-
"Your Highness!" A half-grown teenager in a blue robe who was sitting behind Xiao Zaiyang cried exaggeratedly: "I didn't know how much I said before, you never let me share the table with you, it turned out that you wanted to leave this position for others!" ”
He made a gesture to wipe away the tears that didn't exist, and acted in a full set.
"I still remember that year, on the shore of Chengrui Lake, you said that you were the prince, but after all, you paid the wrong ......"
He Qianwei twitched the corners of her mouth.
Xiao Zaiyang, who was the party concerned, immediately picked up the pen wash on the table and smashed it: "Yu Liangqian, shut up Lonely!" ”
Yu Liangqian put away his expression in response, skillfully dodged the attack, picked up the pen wash that fell on his body, and held it to Xiao Zaiyang with both hands: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry!" ”
Xiao Zaiyang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and took the pen wash and put it back in place without saying a word, but he didn't get seriously angry.
He Qianwei was very curious, but in order to show that she was firmly on Xiao Zaiyang's side, she turned around with the same expressionless face, and then leaned over to the dividing line between the two desks and asked softly.
"Yu Kansong is the youngest son of General Yu, whose name is Yu Liangqian, and there is a brother Yu Liangshen above."
Xiao Zaiyang said in the most detail this time, and He Qianwei couldn't help but think about it deeply.
Something suddenly flashed through his mind, He Qianwei reacted very quickly and grabbed it, and asked in a low voice: "That General Yu from Nansong and Beizhu?" ”
Nansong and Beizhu are talking about Yu Kansong and He Xiuzhu, two generals who have been stationed in the frontier for a long time.
In fact, earlier, this sentence should have been Nansong and Beishangguan.
When Emperor Taizu founded the country, although the geographical location of Daqi Sui was superior, there were Xiongnu in the north and Jurchen in the south.
Therefore, Emperor Taizu specially appointed Shangguan and Yu to garrison the north and south borders respectively, among which the Shangguan family in the north later rebelled and was punished by the nine clans, and the military power was also controlled by other generals in turn, until the current succession was ordered by He Xiuzhu to guard it for a long time.
But the Yu family in the south has been inherited to this day, and the times have fought on the battlefield.
He Xiuzhu and Yu Kansong had been trained in the army together, and because of each other's confidants, He Qianwei also heard his father say that there was no less than Kansong, and if he thought about it carefully, he remembered it all.
"Yes." Xiao Zaiyang affirmed.
He Qianwei was a little disillusioned in her heart for the impression that Kan Songna had been instilled for a long time and was convinced.
Fortunately, Xiao Zaiyang soon opened his mouth again: "Yu Liangqian's family is an exception, and he is so stingy." ”
It's okay, it's okay.
He Qianwei patted her chest happily.
When the two of them bowed their heads and chatted, Taifu stepped on the hour of class and came on time, and looked at the people in front of him, his eyes were majestic.
As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the unknown girl who were whispering right under his nose, Taifu naturally skipped it.
——A good student like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to be disciplined at all.
Taifu thought so.
As for the girl, Taifu guessed that most of them were the orphans of General He who had just arrived in the capital not long ago, and he inevitably felt a little pity and tolerance in his heart.
The kind-hearted Taifu even deliberately waited until the person who was talking stopped, and then looked at the table next to him with his whip and officially announced the class.
Xiao Zaiyang and He Qianwei also put away their thoughts and listened to the class seriously.
Catching a glimpse of this step out of the corner of his eye, Taifu was even more relieved in his heart.
The old man's eyes are as ruthless as ever, and he has never looked at the wrong person!
