It's not the kind of painting I expected!

It is not an ink landscape figure, nor is it a painting of flowers and birds, this is a very special portrait, with only three tones of black, white and gray, and when you look closely, it is all fine and dense or sparse lines, but it constitutes an incomparably three-dimensional figure.

Princess Zhiling's double-haired palace skirt in the painting, smiling and looking forward to it, is almost the same as the real person, and there is still a bright light in the eyes, looking at it with the wrong eye, it seems that there is a feeling that the eyes of the characters are circulating, as if the whole person is alive!

Chinese painting pays attention to artistic conception, I can't wait for each painting to be matched with a poem, giving the painting soul, this portrait has no artistic conception, it is more like a real depiction of the artistic conception of the Gongbi portrait, but it is more intuitive and three-dimensional than the traditional Gongbi portrait, three-dimensional to give people as if they are looking at the black and white mirror.

The brother and sister, who had never seen a sketch portrait, were stunned!

"I'll send a reply to Sister Xuechen!" Princess Zhiling finally put down the portrait and picked up the letter.

Yu Zuo took the opportunity to take the portrait, put it in front of him to appreciate it carefully, and exclaimed: "I really didn't expect that there are such painting skills in the world that can paint such an effect...... Zhiling, can I ask your sister Xuechen to paint a few more? Send me a copy! ”

Princess Zhiling just finished reading Fu Xuechen's short letter at a glance, and when she heard this, her eyes rolled and said, "Yes!" If I give Sister Xuechen a new painting back, I can beg her to send me another painting like this! ”

Yu Zuo was just about to smile and thank you, but she heard Princess Zhiling's "but": "It's just the sixth brother, you want me to give you the painting, you can't give it away for nothing, right?" ”

"Okay! I exchange things with you, what do you want to exchange? Yu Zuo asked with a smile.

Princess Zhiling immediately said: "I don't want anything from you, I just want you to help me with one thing!" ”

"What's the matter?" Yu Zuo was a little wary, but he didn't think that Princess Zhiling could have anything serious.

Princess Zhiling hurriedly flipped through her bookcase, took out a fold, and solemnly held it in front of Yu Zuo with both hands and said, "Sixth brother, you can help me hand over this fold to my father!" Best, you can talk to me! ”

There are only a few princes who have left the palace to have something to hand over to Emperor Yuan An, and even the four princes who are sisters-in-law have only begun to try to hand over excerpts this year. Inexistent!

After having the experience of running errands and being given Qingwei, the current sixth prince Yu Zuo can also hand over the fold to Emperor Yuan'an, and in Princess Zhiling's opinion, the success rate of the matter is much higher than that of her own begging her father!

Handing the excerpt is not a joke, no matter how favored Yu Zuo is, he didn't dare to hand the fold indiscriminately, so he immediately opened Zhiling's excerpt and read it carefully, and found that Zhiling's excerpt was full of one thing: to build a girls' school.

In order to get Emperor Yuan An to agree to this matter and allocate special funds for the construction of the school, Zhiling also listed in detail the various benefits of building a girls' school in the excerpt, as well as a step-by-step plan that seemed to be extremely feasible.

Yu Zuo read the excerpt twice, first shocked by the unprecedented idea of this idea, and then couldn't believe that this could be the idea that Zhiling, a girl who was not yet ten years old, could come up with.

He quickly saw the clue: "You didn't write this excerpt yourself, right?" Although imitating Zhiling's tone.

Zhiling quietly stuck out her tongue: "The fourth brother wrote it for me." ”

Really! This extremely detailed and dense style of storytelling is from the fourth brother at first glance! Yu Zuo secretly complained and said puzzledly: "Since the fourth brother has helped you with all the ideas, and the excerpts have been written for you, why don't you hand them over for you?" ”

"The idea was not from the fourth brother, it was from Sister Xuechen!" Princess Zhiling first corrected Yu Zuo's cognition, and then explained: "The fourth brother has just been punished by his father, and he said that if he hands over the son, I am afraid that my father will not agree. ”

So you're thinking I'm going to do this...... Yu Zuo understood what his sister meant, but he didn't dare to pack the ticket: "I can help you with this, and by the way, I can help you say a few kind words, but I don't know if my father can agree." ”

Princess Zhiling was much more confident than him, and said happily when she heard this: "Thank you, Sixth Brother!" If you help me, my father will probably agree! That's why I've been waiting for you to come back! ”

When the sixth brother hands over the excerpt, the father will definitely respond soon, agree or disagree, and then you can reply to Sister Xuechen, I hope my father can agree! Princess Zhiling was happy and looking forward to it in her heart.

In the afternoon, the riding and archery class ended, and it was time for Gong Xue to get out of school again.

Yu Zuo went towards Qianming Palace, Fu Yuchen needed to leave the palace, and the two happened to be on the same road.

"Sister Ling gave Zhiling an idea to build a girls' school, do you know about this?" Yu Zuo asked casually.

Well? Fu Yuchen was surprised: "Girls' school? What Girls' School? ”

Yu Zuo understood, Fu Yuchen didn't know about this, so he smiled and said no more: "If it doesn't work out, it's useless to say it, if it happens, you will definitely be able to know, and if you don't know if it's not done now, don't say it!" ”

Fu Yuchen was a little dizzy by Yu Zuo, but he remembered that his sister gave the princess an idea, and he didn't know if it would be another moth, so he decided to go back and ask Fu Xuechen carefully, don't let anything happen again.

"Your Majesty! The Sixth Highness asked to see him outside the door. ”

In the Qianming Palace, Emperor Yuan'an, who had already gone down to the court, sat behind the imperial case as usual, reviewed the folds, and heard Zheng Ze's Tongyu, and said casually: "Let him come in." ”

Zheng Ze had expected this, and immediately nodded to the little eunuch guarding the entrance of the hall, and the little eunuch understood, and immediately put Yu Zuo in.

"The son knocks to see his father!" Zuo first full etiquette.

Emperor Yuan An put down the pen in his hand and looked at the past with a smile: "I'm back!" Not bad! Looks much more sensible! ”

"Thank you Father! Fortunately, the sons were not dishonored, and the thousands of Qingwei people have been successfully recruited and returned to the military camp. Yu Zuo also showed a grateful smile.

Emperor Yuan An asked a few more questions about the recruitment of Qingwei, and Yu Zuo answered them one by one.

He didn't be lazy at all because of his status as a prince, leaving everything to others to do, nor did he dare to make his own decisions because he was still an adult, and he was led by the nose by those local officials who had accumulated years, so no matter what Emperor Yuan An asked, he could answer it quickly without omission.

The more Emperor Yuan An listened, the more satisfied he became, and he looked at his son with a little surprise, although this son was still young, he loved him in all aspects of appearance, temperament, and ability, but unfortunately he was not a son-in-law.

Originally, Lao Sizhen's ability was also good, although he was cold and didn't like to talk much......

The atmosphere between father and son was harmonious and the communication was good, and Yu Zuo took the opportunity to take out Princess Zhiling's excerpt from his arms: "Father, when the son came to meet Zhiling, he was entrusted by Zhiling, and he had a share of the excerpt, and he also invited his father to take a look!" ”

Zheng Ze hurriedly stepped forward to take the fold in Yu Zuo's hand and presented it to Emperor Yuan An.

Emperor Yuan An was surprised, he didn't think that he could still receive his youngest daughter's excerpt on an ordinary day when he was not invited to an excerpt, and immediately unfolded the excerpt with a slight curiosity.

"Girls' school?" Emperor Yuan An heard this for the first time, and in all dynasties, no one really thought of setting up such a school for girls to learn various life skills.

The point is that the various benefits listed in the excerpt, as well as the founding philosophy and charter, are very reasonable, and have a strong feasibility, and the annual expenditure in the budget is not particularly high, not to mention the treasury, that is, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can come up with this money to support such a girls' school, no one has tried before, it does not mean that the empire cannot do it.

Emperor Yuan An also saw something: "The idea you gave? Or is it the idea given by the fourth? ”

"Neither!" Yu Zuo smiled slightly: "This idea was made by Fu Yuchen's twin sister Fu Xuechen for Zhiling, and only women can think of these if they are personally related." ”

Emperor Yuan An nodded and asked casually, "What do you think?" ”

Yu Zuo said calmly: "The father loves Zhiling, so he allows Zhiling and Erchen to study in Mingdetang, but Zhiling and Erchen are different from men and women after all, and the knowledge taught by the gentlemen is not completely suitable for Zhiling, such as needlework, textile tailoring, and Zhiling's favorite calligraphy and painting. ”

"But if you want to set up another class, please sir, Zhiling does not have sisters of the same age as companions, it is inevitable to be lonely, if the father is willing to increase the number of companions around Zhiling for this reason, why not be more generous, and run the school bigger, regardless of the rank of civil and military officials, benefit their daughters in the family, and build a unified girls' school?"

"It's my son's wish to plead with my father for Zhiling, father, why don't you fulfill Zhiling's wish!" Yu Zuo very sincerely clenched his fists and bowed deeply to Emperor Yuan'an.

Emperor Yuan An nodded, and shook his head again: "You guys! only thought about the benefits of building a girls' school, but had you ever thought that Zhiling was still a child, and whether it was the queen, the concubine, or the concubine, she couldn't walk around the palace at will, so what about this girls' school? Who will be the sacrificial wine of this girls' school and sit in the girls' school? There are no female officials in the court of this dynasty. ”

Yu Zuo was stunned, this is a problem.

Emperor Yuan An continued: "Even if this girls' school is temporarily named under Zhiling's rule, and all kinds of female gentlemen have been found, how can such a school full of girls be well guarded, so that the gangsters outside have the opportunity to sneak in and ruin the reputation of the girls in the school?" High walls may not be able to keep out outlaws. ”

Yu Zuo's mind turned quickly, and he raised his head and said: "Security issues, Erchen feels that Qingwei can be in charge!" The recruits are all underage men, and the oldest of them is under the age of fifteen, and after a little training, the sons can have them take shifts to patrol inside and outside the high walls of the girls' school to protect the safety of the girls in the school. ”

Emperor Yuan An was groaned by him, I have to say, this matter is really a coincidence, he asked Yu Zuo to train a group of teenagers, as the team of the future king and the border, but the manpower has just been recruited, and the training has not yet begun! Zhiling wanted to build a girls' school, and these underage young guards immediately had a new purpose.

Speaking of which, it is really more acceptable to let these young guards under Yu Zuo to protect the safety of the girls' school than to let normal adult guards protect the girls' school, and by the way, the young guards are also trained, which is quite a bit of killing two birds with one stone!

Emperor Yuan An already took pity on Princess Zhiling, the youngest daughter, otherwise she would not have been allowed to go to Mingde Hall to study and learn calligraphy with Mr. Confucianism at the bachelor's level.

Originally, he thought that if he studied for another two years, Zhiling would not have to go to school again, but now Zhiling has a wonderful idea of building a girls' school, which perfectly solves all the problems he is worried about.

Emperor Yuan An got up and paced back and forth in the hall a few times, and finally agreed to build a girls' school for his youngest daughter: "Since you came to hand over the fold for Zhiling, then this matter will be handed over to you!" Let your third brother hang up the name of the girls' school, and leave the matter of inviting the female gentleman to him to do it, and you will be a businessman and responsible for the safety of the girls' school. ”

The priest is only an assistant to the sacrificial wine, not responsible for the specific homework and teaching, and is not counted as a gentleman, but seems to be a miscellaneous worker.

But since Emperor Yuan An said that the third prince Yu Zhi would be in charge of the specific things, then the power of this division is great, which is equivalent to the temporary duty of sacrificing wine, and he can take care of everything.

Yu Zuo didn't expect Emperor Yuan An to give him so much power, so he was slightly stunned before he was excited.

Emperor Yuan An did not think about the big deal of building a girls' school, and immediately asked Zheng Ze to draw up a decree, agreeing to Zhiling's request, to establish a girls' school for the princess alone, and temporarily ordered the third prince Yu Zhi to hang the post of sacrificial wine in the girls' school, and the sixth prince Yu Zuo was his deputy secretary, and at the same time allocated 6,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the funds for the construction of the school, and was responsible for site selection and supervision.

Emperor Yuan An, who didn't care about the specific regulations, tossed them all with the children of Yuzuo and Zhiling.

Because there is no need to call the treasury of the treasury, and go directly to the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so the establishment of the girls' school does not need to be discussed in the court, and there is no need to go through the cabinet.

Yu Zuo did things smoothly, he was in a particularly happy mood, and after retiring, he came out briskly, and he didn't go far before he met Zhiling who was looking forward to the direction of Qianming Palace.

"Sixth brother! What do you think? Seeing Yu Zuo, Princess Zhiling's eyes lit up and hurriedly greeted her.

Yu Zuo smiled at her and said, "You're lucky! Father agreed! ”

"Father agreed so quickly?!" Princess Zhiling was so overjoyed when she heard the words that she almost jumped three feet high: "Great! I knew it! I knew that Sixth Brother, you were on the right track! Thank you, Sixth Brother! ”

"I'm going to write to Sister Xuechen about this good news!"

Before Yu Zuo could tell her the specific story, Zhiling happily ran away.

"......" Yu Zuo wanted to tell her that Emperor Yuan An was actually a very good father, and he also loved her little daughter, in fact, she didn't have to trust her, she went to hand over the fold by herself, and Emperor Yuan An could probably agree, but it's a pity! Zhiling is still a little afraid of facing her father alone, and the psychological strangeness and fear are not so easy to eliminate.
