"Thought!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded excitedly: "Cousin, the imperial grandfather asked you to accompany Xiongying to study, and Xiongying can finally play with her cousin again!" ”

Ahem!

Lan Bin was about to speak, when suddenly a heavy cough sounded.

Lan Bin hugged Zhu Xiongying and turned to look, and found that the official who had just spoken was pretending to cough and didn't wait to speak. Zhu Xiongying, who was hugging, was like a mouse seeing a cat, and suddenly broke free from Lan Bin.

After tidying up the folds of his clothes again, he said respectfully: "Xiongying has seen Mr. Wu!" ”

"Your Royal Highness, eldest grandson, this is a place for preaching and teaching, don't make a loud noise!" Mr. Wu taught.

Zhu Xiongying was ashamed and said, "Yes, sir! ”

"Lan Bin, this official knows that you are the cousin of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and you have played with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson since childhood, and you have a deep relationship."

Mr. Wu nodded, looked at Lan Bin again, and admonished: "But His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, after all, it is His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, you are the king, and you are the minister." You must abide by the way of kings and ministers, understand? ”

"Yes, sir!"

Although Lan Bin didn't know this Mr. Wu, from Zhu Xiongying's attitude, it was not difficult to see that this Mr. Wu was a gentleman who lectured on scriptures and taught his profession nine times out of ten.

"Teachable!"

Mr. Wu originally thought that Lan Bin, the second generation of nobles, was difficult to discipline if he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it. But now it seems that Lan Bin is quite polite, so he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, turned around and left.

After Mr. Wu left, Lan Bin came to Zhu Xiongying and said to Nunu, the back of Mr. Wu entering the main hall: "Xiongying, who is this Mr. Wu?" ”

"Mr. Wu, his name is Wu You, his name is Bozong, and he is a bachelor of Hanlin."

Zhu Xiongying hurriedly said: "Grandpa Huang, please ask him to teach us!" ”

It's him!

Lan Bin remembered that Wu Bozong, the champion of the first imperial examination after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, was responsible for his appearance.

It is said that the original champion was not him, but a person named Guo Chong. It's just that this Guo Chong's appearance is not as good as Wu Bozong, and he was listed as the second in the first class by Zhu Yuanzhang.

And Wu Bozong mentioned one and listed him as the champion.

It is now the fifteenth year of Hongwu, and it is not surprising that this Wu Bozong is about to reach the peak of his life and enter the Wuyingdian University.

Zhu Xiongying saw that Lan Bin was silent, and thought that he had a grudge against Wu Bozong, and said: "Cousin, Mr. Wu is a very good person, don't blame him!" ”

"What do you say! Is my cousin the kind of cautious eye? Lan Bin was stunned, and reached out angrily and tapped Zhu Xiongying's forehead.

"Let's go, cousin, let's go in. Later, when the gentleman lectures, you can sit next to me! ”

Zhu Xiongying grinned, dragged Lan Bin into the main hall, came to the front of the bookshelf, sat down in the middle of the rows of tables and chairs, and pointed to the vacant seat next to him, motioning for Lan Bin to sit.

After Lan Bin sat down, Zhu Xiongying couldn't wait to ask about the new things outside the palace.

Although Zhu Xiongying is the eldest grandson of the emperor, he is an eight-year-old child in the end, and like other children, after staying in one place for a long time, he yearns for the outside world.

Zhu Xiongying is the same, because there are many rules in the palace, he rarely goes out of the palace. As a result, he is curious about everything outside the palace.

In Lan Bin's memory, he was used to Zhu Xiongying asking and telling Zhu Xiongying some interesting things from hearsay.

As the time for the lecture approached, the princes and grandsons came to the main hall one after another under the care of the eunuchs.

Among them, the eldest is Zhu Zi, the eighth son of the emperor, Zhu Tan, the tenth son of the emperor, and the eleventh son of the emperor, that is, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, who is engaged to Lan Bin's sister Lan Ling'er, and Zhu Bai, the twelfth son of the emperor.

The rest are all young princes and grandsons, and the youngest is the seventeenth son of the emperor, Ning Wang Zhu Quan, and the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, both of whom are five years old.

Don't look at these princes, according to their generation, they are all Zhu Xiongying's uncles, but when they arrived at the main hall, except for the four older princes, they still revolved around Zhu Xiongying, as if Zhu Xiongying was the elder brother and they were all younger brothers.

And Lan Bin saw the princes surrounding Zhu Xiongying, and after saluting very consciously, he stepped aside and remained silent.

"Uncle..."

Lan Bin was watching Zhu Xiongying deal with his little uncles when suddenly an unnatural voice sounded.

Lan Bin didn't even have to look back to know that it was the eleventh son of the emperor, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu.

When he had just saluted the princes, he had already seen Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, but he saluted the other princes and forgot Zhu Chun, the king of Shu.

Nothing else, every time he thought that his sister, who was only twelve or thirteen years old and would only be fifteen or sixteen years old in two years, would be poisoned by Zhu Chun. I panicked in my heart.

It's just that the relationship between his sister Lan Ling'er and Zhu Chun was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to marry, and he didn't dare to object, but looking at Zhu Chun's face, he could still do it.

However, at this time, Zhu Chun took the initiative to say hello, but he didn't pretend not to see it, so he turned around and said officially: "Participate in His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" ”

"Uncle, we will all be a family soon, why bother to see each other like this! Just call me Brother Chun, or Zhu Chun! Zhu Chun hurriedly helped Lan Bin up.

Family?!

Lan Bin really wanted to dump him, who is a family with you. But thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang's terribleness, he instantly confessed to it, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Let's call His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Otherwise, people will listen to it, saying that the people of my Blue Mansion are uneducated and don't understand dignity! ”

"Alright! Then it's up to you! ”

Zhu Chun naturally understood the rules and nodded: "Uncle, we will all be relatives in the future, and I often move around!" ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Lan Bin hugged his fists.

Ahem!

At this time, Wu Bozong walked over from behind the bookshelf, coughed heavily, held a book in his hand, and walked towards the gentleman's position at the front of the table and chairs.

The princes were still surrounding Zhu Xiongying, but when they saw Wu Bozong, they scattered one after another and returned to their positions.

Lan Bin and Zhu Chun saluted each other and returned to their places.

Wu Bozong came to Mr.'s seat and sat down, put the book on the table casually, looked around, and made sure that the princes and grandsons were all together, and then said: "Now start checking yesterday's homework, Zhu Xiongying, start memorizing from you!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Zhu Xiongying, who was next to Lan Bin, stood up, and after bowing, he began to memorize the Analects.

The princes' studies are not the same, like the older princes have begun to learn the Four Books and the Five Classics, while the younger princes and grandsons are learning the Three Character Classics and the Thousand Character Classics.

Therefore, the memorization of the princes and grandchildren is also different.

Wu Bozong commented on the proficiency of the princes and grandchildren in reciting, and asked the princes and grandchildren about their reading comprehension. The princes are required not only to memorize, but also to know the essence of its content.

When encountering a prince who had a bad back or didn't understand the essence of the content, Wu Bozong didn't show mercy, first hit the palm of his hand with a ring ruler, and then made an in-depth interpretation of what the princes didn't understand.

When the interest comes, there will be an extended explanation.

Lan Bin was a newcomer, and he didn't have homework, so he naturally didn't have to memorize it, and snickered gloating on the side.

After the princes and grandsons finished reciting, Wu Bozong's eyes suddenly fell on Lan Bin: "Lan Bin, have you ever read?" ”
