At the end of the day, in the swaying mule cart, Zheng Haizhu looked at the simple handouts written by Lu Xiangsheng.

After a while, she handed the paper booklet back to the jade-faced scholar sitting opposite.

"It's good, today it's still a balance between civil and military. First accompany the princes to play with the warship for a while, don't exceed half an hour, and then pull them back to the Wenhua Hall to talk about history. lest the people of the Zhejiang Party go to sue Sun Chengzong for his misdeeds. ”

Lu Xiangsheng responded and put away the handouts.

Zheng Haizhu leaned on the window lattice of the car, and said in a wistful tone: "Xiangsheng, every time we finish speaking, let's go to the Hanlin Academy to present the above manuscript to Sun Chengzong, not only to respect him as a Shangguan, but also a good opportunity for you to ask him for articles." What kind of character Sun Hanlin is, he will not be out of character in his heart. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes reflected the rising sun, his expression was shining, and a look of gratitude appeared on his face: "Xiangsheng understands his sister's plan, this is like knocking on the door in the Tang Dynasty." I only hope that Sun Hanlin can deign to give me some advice. ”

Zheng Haizhu looked at him with encouragement.

"Condescension? What kind of respect does Master Sun condescend to? If you believe me, he expects to be your lord in his heart. He is a person who loves talents, you and I are the mentors and friends of the East Palace, and the allies of the East Forest, well, I am paving the way for you, mainly you, the capital of literature and martial arts, those classmates of Ying Tianfu, there will be a few people who can enter the Jinshi in two years, you are all less than the age of standing, and Sun Chengzong, he is going to enter the cabinet, so, in the first few years, you need him, and he needs you more. ”

Lu Xiangsheng entered Beijing to meet Zheng Haizhu this time, but he felt that she was more like the eldest sister than before, and when there were no outsiders, she always used unpretentious blunt words to help her own future.

Lu Xiangshengsi and Gu Shouqian, Zheng Shoukuan, Zheng Zhilong, Xu Yilong and others, they are also heroic at an age, but they are either in business or in the military, Zheng Ajie has excellent connections in the civil service, only Ma Xianglin's father-in-law Zhang Quan in the court, and only Huang Zunsu in other provinces, which is indeed not enough, and he should work hard.

I heard Zheng Haizhu speak again: "But for the play I want to do today, I'm also worried that I will lose you." ”

Lu Xiangsheng replied without hesitation: "I don't think my sister is hasty, we set up a situation today, not just to help the five princes get angry, how can Xiangsheng not understand." Now that you've decided, don't worry. ”

Zheng Haizhu smiled, didn't say more, closed her eyes and recuperated.

……

After a few miles of travel, the two got off the bus outside the Donghua Gate as usual.

With the recognition and help of Sun Chengzong, the rightful and popular emperor, He Zongyan, the old minister of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to advocate that the prince should study every day, so in the past ten days, this is the third time that Zheng and Lu have gone to Wenhua Palace.

There was a turmoil with Eunuch Xue before, and Wang An was able to openly send the internal official belonging to his camp, Cao Huachun, to take care of Zheng Haizhu.

Cao Huachun did not walk slowly, but he did not forget to frequently chat with Zheng Haizhu to show his closeness, and after the two brothers returned to the inner court, he praised Master Zheng and Lu Gongzi for speaking well.

Zheng Haizhu remembered that Cao Huachun should later be a trusted confidant of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, so he made a good deed that did not hide his lust and said: "I heard that there are still a few little princesses in the palace, who are also very smart and smart, not as good as coming to Wenhua Palace?" ”

Cao Huachun glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, who was following behind, lowered his voice and said, "Master Zheng said that he laughed, my brother can see the female master," how can the princess see the male master. But it's a coincidence, a few days ago, Dongli Niangniang was still saying that she wanted to find a female master for the sixth princess. ”

"Well, Dongli Niangniang treats the fifth prince and the sixth princess very well," Zheng Haizhu sighed with emotion, and said sincerely, "Gonggong Cao, in our Susong area, there is a shop called a boudoir teacher, that is, the female master enters the back house of a big family and teaches the daughters. If my father-in-law is familiar with Dong Li Niangniang, help me talk about it, and I can also work for the princess's enlightenment. ”

When Cao Huachun led the way the last time, he had already been touched by Zheng Haizhu, and said happily: "Okay, go back to our house to find a conversation." ”

He only exchanged these few words, but the woman surnamed Zheng wanted to cling to the members of the heavenly family as much as possible, but where did he know that Zheng Haizhu was testing and confirming that he had secretly agreed with the fifth prince Zhu Youzhen after the last lecture, and Zhu Youzhen did not reveal his stuff.

While speaking, the three of them walked to the Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian, holding a wooden boat alone, went down the steps with a slump.

"Master Zheng, Master Lu, you did your homework last time, and Xiao Wu and I did it. These two turtle boats, one at the bottom is pointed, and the other is clustered, just like the crab that comes from the south, the male is the pointed umbilicus, and the female is the tufted umbilicus. ”

Zhu Youxiao finished speaking in one go, and Cao Huachun was also amused.

Cao Huachun said in his heart, Xi Li's mean woman always goes to the eldest son of the Emperor to chew the tongue in front of the Long Live Lord, in fact, the brother has a clear brain, and he can tell jokes, just look at who he is against.

Cao Huachun worked as an errand under Wang An, and he could be regarded as watching the two brothers Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen grow up, and when he saw the two brothers happy, he was naturally overjoyed.

Zhu Youzhen, the fifth prince on the side, said in a gentle voice: "Cao Banban will go back to the celebrant to get busy, remember to take the time to go to our palace, Li Niangniang sewed a lot of sachets, and you can take it back to reward people." ”

Cao Huachun said earnestly: "Ouch, the slave maid is really a great creation, Dongli Niangniang and her brother are so compassionate." ”

Zheng Haizhu watched Cao Huachun go away, and then glanced at Zhu Youxiao, who couldn't wait to pull Lu Xiangsheng to the side of the pool to release the boat, and when he took the model of the turtle boat from Zhu Youzhen, he said meaningfully: "Your Highness is so anxious. ”

Zhu Youzhen's eyes flashed: "Naturally, I am afraid that Cao Gonggong will recognize the sixth sister." ”

After saying that, he turned around and beckoned to the depths of the Wenhua Palace.

The four little eunuchs came out one after another, Zhu Youxiao's companion Gu Zizi went to the edge of the pool, and the other three gathered around Zheng Haizhu and Zhu Youzhen's side.

Zheng Haizhu looked at them one by one, Wang Chengen she already recognized, and the other two were faces about ten years old, with more delicate facial features and white and tender skin in addition to childishness.

It's two girls, dressed as little eunuchs.

One of them, with a goose egg face and round eyes, looked up at Zheng Haizhu with curiosity.

The other, a slender one, stood behind her with its sleeves down.

Zheng Haizhu understood, looked around, and bowed his hand shallowly to the goose egg face: "I've seen the sixth princess." ”

When today's son Zhu Changluo's sixth daughter, Zhu Huiyan, only felt that the female master in front of her, as the fifth brother said, was very different from the mothers and grandmothers in the palace, and she was not afraid.

The corners of Zhu Huiyan's mouth curled: "I should salute the master." ”

Zheng Haizhu said softly: "I also want to be your master, but it depends on the situation after today." ”

Zhu Youzhen, on the contrary, seems more decisive and urgent than Zheng Haizhu, an adult.

"Sixth sister, the hour is almost up, you and Qiu Wan go to change your clothes first, and hide them next to the imperial pharmacy."

Zhu Huiyan responded, took the little palace maid Qiu Wan, and turned around and left.

Zheng Haizhu muttered: "I don't know if the fish is hooked?" ”

Zhu Youzhen held the head of the turtle boat and said lightly: "Yes, that person has always been the most greedy for merit, and he has already regarded my princess of the Zhu family as if she was in the palm of her hand, thinking that she could handle and knead it." ”

"Well, Your Highness the Fifth Highness won't be wrong. Whether it's friend or foe, you can't be mistaken. Zheng Haizhu replied meaningfully.

I couldn't help but sigh again in my heart, Emperor Chongzhen, who had polarized the wind in history, had been a little ruthless since he was a child.

By the pool, Zhu Youxiao, who was observing the draft of the boat model with Lu Xiangsheng, seemed to reflect how his younger brothers and sisters were rubbing like this.

Zhu Youxiao looked back and greeted, "Hey, where did the two of them go?" ”

"I'm going to clean the room." Zhu Youzhen replied.
