The money in the palace was in the hands of his father, and now Li Tai can only drink thin porridge and nibble on a cake, "I heard that the imperial sister and brother-in-law have been reading books in the Guozijian and Chongwen Palace, do you understand now?" ”

The attendant was puzzled: "The villain is stupid. ”

"Read more and grow your wisdom."

"The villain doesn't know a few words."

"This king will go to the Guozijian another day to find a scholar for you, teach you to read and write, and grow more wisdom." Li Tai raised his foot and kicked it, but was dodged by his own attendants.

"Still hide, if you people grow wise, this king won't work so hard." Li Tai pointed to a group of subordinates, "It's all unintelligent things!" ”

After counting his own people, Li Tai is much more comfortable, without the distress in front of him, he can finally sleep comfortably.

On the other side of Chang'an City, the couple handed over eggs and millet rice.

"Old gentleman, it's all some things at home, I hope you don't dislike it."

Ouyang Xun glanced at it, "There are no eggs to eat some days." ”

Zhang Yang took out a roll of the Red Mansion, "This is the original of the Red Mansion that we printed, I know that the original outside has been bought, and if I buy it again, the price must be very high, so I left a copy for the old gentleman." ”

Ouyang Xun took the book and smiled, "Respect the elders, and come to visit, understand the minds of others better, and have such the ability to deal with the world, how can he just be a member of the East Palace." ”

Li Yue explained: "My husband has made mistakes before, and he doesn't have any great skills, which makes the old gentleman smile. ”

Ouyang Xun looked at the red mansion, "Your craftsman was invited by the palace?" ”

"At that time, I couldn't find a suitable one, so I asked my father to help if I thought there was one in the palace."

Li Yue obediently stood aside and explained.

Ouyang Xun looked at the red mansion in his hand and became more and more satisfied, "It's not a big mistake to hear about this matter, and it has also solved the trouble in the north." ”

Glancing at Zhang Yang again, Ouyang Xun said in a low voice: "Young man, did you write this Red Mansion?" ”

Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "It's not me, I'm just retelling, I read this story a long time ago." ”

"I think so." Ouyang Xun nodded again, "I don't have enough experience, and I don't have the experience to write such a story." ”

"If only the old gentleman liked the story."

Ouyang Xun stroked his beard and said: "The old man doesn't like this story, and when he looks at it, he often sighs, this book is full of pessimism about the world and the sinister people in power, which is naturally not tolerated by the scholars." ”

Li Yue helped the old gentleman tidy up the table, and stood silently and obediently.

Ouyang Xun sighed and put down the book, "The old man likes some of the small points on it very much, and there are merits. ”

Zhang Yang explains: "It's punctuation, it's easy to read. ”

"Very good thoughts." Ouyang Xun nodded his head but his expression was solemn, "Do you know that there are many people in the scholar clan who nominate the old man, and the words of the old man can make many people in the scholar clan echo, and some people let the old man set an example, this volume of the Red Mansion is very much discussed among the scholars, and many people are very resistant to this book." ”

Zhang Yang bowed slightly, "The old gentleman is very famous among the scholars in the world, and we are only here to thank the old gentleman for the calligraphy he gave at that time, and the book of the Red Mansion is just a business for us to make ends meet, as for its influence among the scholars, we don't care." ”

"When someone asks in the future, the old man will not say whether this book is good or bad, and as for someone standing up against this book at that time, the old man will not stop it, is it so acceptable."

Seeing the old gentleman's smiling expression, Zhang Yang replied: "The old gentleman has a heart, if the old gentleman is burdened by it, we will feel guilty." ”

Ouyang Xun waved his hand and said, "I don't take your good for nothing." ”

"We just treat you as an elder, and the Red Mansion can be printed by the old gentleman, for which we are grateful."

"Zhang Gongjin has accepted a good disciple." Ouyang Xun stood up on crutches, "Your future will not be bad in the future, you won't send it away, please go back." ”

The couple saluted together, and before leaving, Li Yue instructed: "The old gentleman pays attention to his body." ”

Ouyang Xun nodded and didn't say anything more.

As a calligrapher, Ouyang Xun has a great reputation among the scholars, and as long as he walks out of Chang'an City, there will be many family supporters.

Li Shimin left these famous people in the scholar clan in Chang'an, holding these old people to increase the reputation of the court among the scholars, and single-handedly planned to reopen the imperial examination.

On the way home, Li Yue whispered, "If the Red Mansion is resisted by those scholars, will it have an impact on our book printing?" ”

Zhang Yang took her hand, "Then did your father resist?" ”

"Nope." Li Yue shook his head slightly.

"Your father did not object to this book, the family will say that the story of the Red Chamber is full of absurd words, but reading this book is a handful of bitter tears, just like the story of Jin Chuan throwing himself into the well, Mrs. Wang said that she was uneasy in her heart, and Baochai advocated giving more money to fulfill the feelings of the master and servant, and the family of poetry and books is a family, and it will naturally be rejected by the family."

Li Yue said suddenly: "My father does not contradict the Red Mansion because the family hates the Red Mansion even more, and the family is the Grand View Garden." ”

"That's what it means."

Li Yue snickered, "My father doesn't like the family either, but for the sake of the hearts of the world's scholars, the father can't make an opinion, let the family resist the Red Mansion by themselves, sit back and watch them mess up, and even forbid the Red Mansion to enter the Hongwen Pavilion and the Guozijian, setting an example for the scholars. ”

"It probably means that way, too."

"Then our village has to be watched by people, for fear that someone will come to make trouble."

"If anyone in the village dares to make trouble in the village, maybe they will be taken down by your father's people before they reach the village."

"It's better to be careful, to step up the guard, and finally have a little family business."

Zhang Yang slowed down and whispered: "It's useless for the family to call for book burning, the more they make a fuss, the more people will read the Red Mansion, as long as there is a way to spread it, it is useless for them to resist, even if the Red Mansion becomes a banned book, people will circulate it privately, and the spread effect of the story is often stronger and wider than other books, because the Red Mansion is a storybook." ”

Li Yue smiled playfully: "The shower at home is ready, I want to try it." ”

"Don't you like it?"

"Give it a try."

"You can't try it yet."

"Why?"

"It's cold and the water is cold, and you're in poor health."

"Then pour hot water into the bucket above."

"It's very troublesome, our family's conditions can't do such a luxurious thing, boiling water and waste firewood."

After dinner, at night, Li Yue was in a very bad mood, and at this moment he could hear the sound of water in the bathroom, and his husband was enjoying the shower.

Li Yue closed the door of his room and looked at the hot water in the bucket.

Pinching the soap in her hand, Li Yue's pretty face was full of dissatisfaction, she pursed her mouth, it doesn't matter if she doesn't use the shower, her husband is still humming while taking a bath, how can someone have such a weird habit of taking a bath!

Comfortably asleep, eating breakfast, she saw her eyes fixed on the huge wooden barrel on the roof.

Zhang Yang finished drinking the porridge in the bowl, "I'm going to the East Palace on duty." ”

Li Yue took a bite of the bun fiercely, "I'll go too, I'll finish reading the books at home, and then I'll go to Chongwen Hall to get a few volumes, and then I'll go to visit the queen mother." ”

"The matter of Li Tai has just been settled, and now I will go to see the eldest grandson queen, and it is really good to be stable and stable, or the daughter-in-law is thoughtful."

Rushing out of the house in a hurry, Zhang Yang accompanied Li Yue to the Lizheng Hall first.

Empress Changsun was comforting the crying Li Zhi.

Bear children are the most helpless.

The Lizheng Hall was very messy, and Li Yue helped the queen clean up together.

It's all about women and children, and the daughter-in-law also wants to learn more experience from the queen.

After greeting Empress Changsun, Zhang Yang walked out of the Lizheng Hall and went to the East Palace.

The family business needs to be taken care of, the queen's side needs to be maintained, and the upper and lower levels must be taken care of, which is the disadvantage of not having power and power.

Walking into the East Palace, Zheng Gong was still lecturing, Zhang Yang was still standing silently beside the prince as before, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a pile of books on the prince's desk with the red mansion at the bottom.

It's just a corner exposed, and the home-made paper is instantly recognizable.

Today, Wei Zheng is talking about the left biography in the Spring and Autumn Period.

After finishing the article, Wei Zheng smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this book that the old minister talked about emphasizes order and patriarchy, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will study it more." ”

"Lone must study more."

"The old minister retired."

Noticing that Wei Zheng looked at himself deeply before leaving, and didn't know what it meant, Zhang Yang frowned and saluted and the prince sent him away.

After listening to the class, Li Chengqian said happily, "Knowing that the second half of the Red Mansion was published, Gu asked people to buy a volume for the first time." ”

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think?"

"I haven't finished reading it yet."

Zhang Yang put his hands on his sleeves and looked at the sandbag, "Did the prince exercise today?" ”

Li Chengqian smiled apologetically, "Lone read for too long last night, and it was delayed today, so it is better for you and Lone to go to the Hongwen Pavilion today, where there are many discussions about the Red Mansion." ”

Zhang Yang had a serious face, "As far as the minister knows, the Red Mansion is not allowed to enter the Hongwen Pavilion. ”

"Although the Red Mansion cannot enter the Hongwen Pavilion, people will also talk about it, and they can always say a lot about the Red Mansion." Li Chengqian pulled Zhang Yang with an excited face, "Let's go now." ”

Zhang Yang stood in place, "The prince is the prince of the country, he should improve himself, and he shouldn't join in the fun." ”

Li Chengqian was puzzled: "Why not go and listen to it?" ”

"Your Highness, exercise must be persistent, first hit a sandbag for half an hour, it should be regarded as exercising perseverance."

"But ...... lonely"

Zhang Yang said loudly: "Da'an." ”

Zhang Da'an stepped forward, "Yes." ”

"You bring a good pen and ink scroll, go to the Hongwen Pavilion to record, record all the words of the Red Mansion that the people of the Hongwen Pavilion are talking about, and if you know who the name is, you must record it and send it to the East Palace."

Seeing that Zhang Da'an was a little hesitant, Zhang Yang said again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with his studies and has no time. ”

"Gong Zheng just told the prince to read the left biography a few more times, and he was in a hurry to go to the Hongwen Pavilion just after listening to it, which is not appropriate, if the prince insists on going, the minister can't stop him, and the minister will report to His Majesty truthfully."

Li Chengqian compromised and said: "Da'an, you go first, you won't go." ”

Zhang Da'an nodded before leaving.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you can exercise now."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian took off his coat, walked to the sandbag and began to box.

The fight was a little messy, and as the sandbags shook, the tree shook with it, and leaves kept falling.

"Lone is a little puzzled, the Red Mansion was printed by you, don't you care about the discussion outside?" While talking, Li Chengqian's fist was still hitting the sandbag.

"What's there to care about?"

"There is a lot of talk about the Red Mansion among the scholars, aren't you afraid?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is naturally not afraid of being upright." Zhang Yang moved a stool for himself and sat down on the side, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can also practice a heroic and righteous spirit, he will not be afraid." ”

"Haoran righteousness can also be practiced?"

"Of course you can, if Haoran's righteousness always exists in his heart, he will not be swayed by others, just like Zheng Gong."

"Zheng Gong?"

"Distinguish right from wrong, and do not give in to the evil forces, this is Zheng Gong's heroic righteousness." Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said: "I am learning from Zheng Gong, and I will be a person who upholds justice in the future, so why not risk my life for justice." ”

Seeing that Li Chengqian's strength was a little weaker, Zhang Yang continued: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to concentrate, don't be afraid of pain, this can exercise willpower." ”

Li Chengqian nodded heavily, and the force of hitting the sandbag was even greater.

In the eyes of the guards of the East Palace, as a member of the East Palace, Zhang Yang is obviously incompetent, and he actually asked the prince to hit sandbags, is it possible to teach the prince kung fu?

After half an hour, Zhang Yang spoke, "Okay, it's okay." ”

Li Chengqian held on to the shaking sandbag, wiped the sweat from his forehead, there were a lot of blood marks on his fist, the wound from the previous sandbag coagulated into a bloody scab, and this time there were a few new wounds.

"Let the prince make sandbags, in addition to exercising his body and exercising his willpower, it can also make the prince calm his mind, and exercising his body is also training his heart." Zhang Yang took out the water bladder hanging on his waist, poured a bowl of cold white and handed it to him.

Li Chengqian took several sips and sat down tiredly, "Indeed, as you said, after every workout, I feel that my mind is much clearer. ”

"If you stick to it for a long time, there will be more benefits."

Li Chengqian put on his coat again, "Have you heard?" Qingque wants to sell five of the profits from the soap business to Chaozhong, saying that it is to repair the streets of Chang'an City. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Yang understood in his heart, but he still looked puzzled.

"Father asked Yan Liben to arrange it, don't you know?"

"I've been very busy lately, so I haven't heard of it."

"That's right, this is what happened yesterday, and I don't know what Qingque thinks, he actually used the money he made from his soap business on the construction of Chang'an City, the news was discussed by the ministers this morning, and Gu also heard it, thinking that more people should know about it soon."

"These things have nothing to do with the prince, and now the prince should concentrate on studying."

Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't seem to have the heart to study today, Zhang Yang smiled relievedly, "I'll make a game for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"What game?"

Zhang Yang picked up a pile of stones, "Prepare twenty guards of the East Palace, including the crown prince, a total of twenty-one people, I will give each person a stone, everyone does not know the number of stones of the other party, when everyone gets their own number of stones, everyone can make a request and ask the remaining twenty people for a stone." ”

"You can choose freely or not, but each person can only ask the other party once each time, and only one, and the other party can also not give it, or you can give it."

"The time for the first round of one stick of incense, after the end of the elimination of the two people with the most and least stones, and then redistribute the stones to continue to the next round, until only the last three people are left to win, this game has to estimate the number of stones in the opponent's hand."
