Chapter 14 Peer Reading
But it didn't take long for the order in the Mingde Hall to quickly become chaotic.
Everyone had just gotten together and was curious about their new companions, when Master Ji left, they chatted with the people around him, and even the four princes with paralyzed faces talked to his companion Chen Li intermittently for a few words.
The sixth prince Yu Zuo just failed the hall exam and was punished for copying books five times, he laid out the paper and ink, and was copying "The Way of a Gentleman is Fei and Hidden", he was not in a hurry to talk to Fu Xuechen, but buried his head there and kept copying.
The speed of his writing is not slow, and the regular script in one hand looks quite beautiful, but the words are a little too large, and it is more paper-intensive to write, so Fu Xuechen silently watched from the side, and after seeing that he finished writing a page, he started to replace him with new paper.
"Thank you!"
Yu Zuo hurriedly smiled at her, and kept in his hands, until he copied the text that was punished for copying it completely, and then stopped writing, while gently drying the homework in his hands, he looked at Fu Xuechen with appreciation and said: "I like your juvenile treatise very much!" What a literary style! ”
Fu Xuechen imitated Fu Yuchen's smug expression that he was desperately trying to hide and couldn't help but reveal a little bit of smugness, and smiled crookedly: "Your Highness's praise!" I was just an occasional burst of inspiration that day, and I wasn't usually at such a good level. ”
As the daughter of the Hou Mansion, no matter how good the poems and articles are, it is meaningless, Fu Xuechen decided to plagiarize the classics that time, in order to compete for the place of companion reading, now that the quota is in hand, she has no intention of doing similar things again, from now on, lie down comfortably, eat and wait for death to live, very good!
Just a flash of inspiration? Yu Zuo didn't believe it, and only said: "In short, if you do a good job, you should be rewarded!" Then I'll treat you to a delicious meal at noon! Although the lunch in the imperial dining room is also good, the food sent by my mother is even more delicious, and you must try it when the time comes. ”
What was the princes' lunch like, Fu Xuechen was also very interested, and immediately responded unceremoniously: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”
Yu Zuo nodded: "Okay! I'm going to have to keep transcribing the text, and you can do whatever you want! ”
Fu Xuechen smiled, after all, he was only a thirteen-year-old child, the age of a junior high school student in his previous life, what if the sixth prince was a prince, no matter how noble his status was, he couldn't hide his childishness in acting, the first reward he could think of was food, he wanted to show goodwill, but he still had to hold a few points.
However, these six princes really have the style of a diligent and excellent student, in a chaotic classroom, obviously there is no teacher to take care of it, and he can chat with his new partner Kan Dashaner first like most brothers, but he still chose to copy his homework first.
Fu Xuechen was slightly distracted, and unconsciously recalled his junior high school days, at that time, there was also a class grass in the class, and the other party was still a scholar, with an elegant and handsome appearance, every move was like the scenery in the painting, and people couldn't help but pass their eyes over......
Yu Zuo kept copying, and soon wrote a full page, but this time there was no pair of white and slender hands reaching over to take away the paper full of words, and then replaced it with a blank new page, he glanced back, and saw his companion reading hand on the head tilted and half leaning on the table, his eyelids kept sinking, and he actually dozed off.
Yu Zuo: "......"
Is this waking up too early and not getting enough sleep? Or was it too excited to sleep last night when I received the decree and learned that I had been selected? I actually dared to doze off in Mingde Hall on the first day I came to accompany the study, but here is under the nose of the Son of Heaven, not the Guozi School with a loose learning style!
Yu Zuo paused, and couldn't help but clear his throat with "cough".
Fu Xuechen was startled, opened his eyes and came back to his senses, and met the eyes of the six princes as bright as the starry sky.
"Hey, hey, hey" Fu Xuechen laughed a few times, and hurriedly changed the paper for the other party: "Your Highness, you continue." ”
Yu Zuo was amused by the embarrassment and flattery that she showed so frankly without any psychological burden: "Yuchen is too boring? ”
"It's not ......," Fu Xuechen didn't know what words to use to quibble.
Yu Zuo said casually: "In the afternoon, it is a riding and archery class, so it won't be boring at that time." I look at Yuchen, your archery skills are quite rusty, and I really don't deserve the prestige of Ling Zunjing Beihou, but it doesn't matter, I ask myself if my archery skills are not bad, and I will help you improve your archery skills when the time comes. ”
Is the archery skills of the Six Princes good? Fu Xuechen could clearly feel the other party's confidence, so although he had never seen the other party's archery, Fu Xuechen still showed a little joy and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”
This happy expression, how is it a bit fake! The corners of Yu Zuo's lips twitched.
After another half an hour, Yu Zuo finally finished copying his homework five times, got up and picked up a large pile of paper and handed it to Master Li, in exchange for Master Li's nod.
The time can be said to be just right, there is a little eunuch outside who announces the time and rings the bangzi, and the morning class is over.
The students' lunch was also used in the Mingde Hall, and a row of little eunuchs who had been waiting outside carried food boxes in their hands, hurriedly walked into the school, and hurriedly came over when they found their master, and gave a salute first, and only began to distribute vegetables with the permission of the master.
Serving the sixth prince was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young eunuch, thin and vigorous, his skin was not fair, his appearance was just ordinary, only a pair of eyes turned out to be rare Danfeng eyes, and his voice was not sharp and ugly.
"This is my companion, his name is Li Zhen, and he will bring lunch to the two of us in the future!" Yu Zuo introduced Fu Xuechen.
Li Zhen bowed to Fu Xuechen: "The little one has seen Fu Gongzi!" ”
"Li is polite." Fu Xuechen nodded and smiled at him, not feeling strange or uncomfortable because the other party was a eunuch.
Only eunuchs with official positions and status can be called "father-in-law", ordinary eunuchs are not qualified to be called "father-in-law", Yu Zuo will call Li Zhen as Li Zuo's companion, Fu Xuechen can be called so as Yu Zuo's companion, or you can call him by his name directly.
Li Zhen held a total of two food boxes in his hand, one was black lacquer, exactly the same as the food box in the hands of most other eunuchs, and the other was red lacquer, which was twice as large as the black lacquer food box.
Yu Zuo put all the dishes in the red lacquer food box in front of Fu Xuechen: "My mother is afraid that I won't be used to eating the lunch in the school, so what she sent me is a delicious meal made in the small kitchen of Yanning Palace, you eat more of this, and I will reward you!" ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Fu Xuechen tasted a few bites and did enjoy the joy of food, but in fact, the dishes sent by the school dining room were not too bad, and she also liked the braised pork and stewed chicken soup.
Adolescent teenagers can eat very well, adolescent girls can actually eat compared to women of other ages, after a morning of class, Fu Xuechen seems to have regained the feeling of being a student in his previous life, that is, he was hungry fast, so he ate deliciously, sometimes he ate too attentively, and the chopsticks accidentally caught the same piece of meat with the six princes.
Yu Zuo couldn't help grinning, happy, he used to enjoy it alone, or eat and drink with his mother, this is the first time that a friend of the same age eats the same dish with him, and it is rare for him to feel the fun of sharing.
