11. The prince and grandson (II)
The literature class is similar to Wuyang City, but it does not praise the emperor like the literature class in Wuyang City. I flipped through the textbook, and I barely found any mention of the emperor, and it wasn't until the end of the page that I saw the word "emperor" in one article, but it was obviously about ancient times, not the father of the two princes. About two-thirds of the texts are the same as those in Wuyangcheng, and the different one-third are basically poems and songs, among which there are several by Min Weiqiu. I also heard Xuan Tielan talk about this person, but he admired this Min Weiqiu so much, saying that he was the number one poet in three hundred years, and he had lived in Wuyangcheng for a while, but in Wuyangcheng's textbooks, he only chose one poem about lychees, but here he chose several poems, and one of them is still a long story.
I was flipping through the textbook when I suddenly heard Mr. Zhao say, "Zheng Hanbai, tell me, what is the use of the word 'heavy' in this poem?" ”
Mr. Zhao could call my name when he poured it down. This kind of word usage is also the most important thing in the textbooks of Wuyangcheng, but I am deserting, and I don't know where the word "heavy" is. It's just that I was called, so I had to stand up hard, and I was about to flip through the book to see if I could turn to the place Mr. Zhao said, when I saw that Lu Dingyu in front of me had already opened his book and pointed the page facing me. This page is very recognizable, because there is a color illustration. When I was a student in Wuyangcheng, I visited a printing factory and said that both illustrations and text can be made into printing plates, but if you want to color them, you have to print them many times. Set a few colors, you have to print several times, the more elaborate the color is more difficult, the price of the printed book is also soaring, so there is never a color illustration in the textbooks of Wuyangcheng. The textbooks in Mingxin Temple should all be specially made, the handwriting is large and clear, and this set of color illustrations is very detailed. If I got a treasure, I quickly turned to that page, which turned out to be a five-word poem entitled "Let the side see the apricot blossoms", and the word "heavy" that Mr. Zhao said was a sentence "Ma Chi knows that the dream is heavy".
As soon as I saw this, I had a bottom in my heart. Although I haven't read it, I have always been in the top few grades in school, and the most important thing is that my mother asked Xuan Tielan to give me a make-up lesson, and that time I talked about a sentence "such as a sword mountain is not cut", and said the use of the word "cut", which is the same as this poem, and said: "Mr. Zhao, the 'heavy' in this poem is the method of transfer." The dream doesn't matter how heavy it is, but the word 'heavy' is used in the poem, which seems to be indecent at first glance, but in fact, it is extremely tired of traveling, and it seems that the weight makes the mount slow. ”
Mr. Zhao nodded slightly: "Student Zheng, please take a seat." The transfer is indeed transferred, but this poem is the fifth empire of the seventh generation of the emperor of the left capital Li Qianyu was ordered to make the side, when he went out of the customs to hear the earthquake in the Central Plains, countless casualties, very worried and chanted, not tired of the detention of the trip. Mr. Zheng, you should analyze the meaning of the poem in the future in combination with the background of your writing. ”
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although I want to be a little more talkative, I am a little too much, but it is not too wrong. I have a great opinion of Lu Dingyu, although the second prince is not very polite, I didn't expect to be willing to help others, which is quite similar to my temperament. And the first time I took a class at Mingxin Academy, I was not ashamed.
After the grammar class, the morning class is over, and then lunch is served. I went to the dining hall for lunch, and I wanted to have a few words with Anya Emperor while I had lunch, but I didn't expect the dining hall to be a separate hall. Although I was said to be a prince, I still ate in the reading hall, and I didn't see Anya Diji and Cheng Man at all. Because they had just answered Mr. Zhao's question, the brothers Wei Tianjing and Wei Tianwei obviously had a lot less life to me. Wei Tianjing is older than his younger brother, and he chatted with me over dinner, but when he heard him, he was quite afraid of Mr. Zhao. When I was in Wuyang City, Sanheng Wang's grades were very poor, but he was never afraid of the teacher, and the Wei brothers were the cousins of the prince, and they were actually quite afraid of Mr. Zhao, which also surprised me. I asked, it turned out that the emperor was strict, no matter which family the children were, as soon as they entered the Mingxin Courtyard, they were apprentices. Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, this is the Five Constants of Human Ethics, so it is strictly forbidden for students to be rude to the chair in the Mingxin Academy, and once it is violated, the chair has the right to be beaten. Although it is said that even the two princes may be beaten, I think it will definitely not be a real beating of the prince, and if the prince makes a mistake, these companions will be beaten. Thinking of this, I suddenly became a little curious and asked, "By the way, if Anya Emperor makes a mistake, will the husband also beat her?" ”
Wei Tianjing looked at me as if he had seen a ghost, and said for a while: "How could Emperor Ji make a mistake? Sister Man won't either. ”
Cheng Man is not good-looking, although Wei Tianjing is younger than her, he is very obedient to Cheng Man. I said, "Then we're going to be beaten?" ”
Wei Tianjing said: "If you don't make a mistake, who dares to fight?" ”
He said it rightly, but it seems that most of them have been beaten. Although it is much more comfortable to go to school in Mingxin Academy than in Wuyang City, it is not good for the teacher to beat people. It seems that there is no such thing as a perfect thing in the world. Fortunately, the food in this canteen was really good, better than the food I ate on the ship when I went north with my uncle. Anyway, as Elder Fang said, "clamp your tail and be a man", I don't think the teacher will hit me on the head.
Wei Tianjing is now familiar with me, chattering about the things that Mingxin Academy should pay attention to. I didn't expect him to be so broken-mouthed, but Wei Tianwei didn't talk much. When it comes to the teachers of these five courses, it turns out that they are a little different from Wuyangcheng, and they seem to be the same five courses, but each course is actually divided into several courses, and there are three teachers in this "Wen" alone, and there are two in "Music". Previously, Mr. Rao taught music theory, and Mr. Shi taught musical instruments. Unlike Wuyangcheng, the empire attaches great importance to the two courses of "etiquette" and "music", and it is said that all the sons of the family must be proficient in at least one musical instrument. The two courses of "Yu" and "Wen" have their own emphasis, those who are born in the Jiangmen focus on "Yu", and those who are born in Wenchen focus on "Wen". Fang Conghui's great-grandfather Fang Lao is a teacher in the "Yu" class, teaching the art of war. According to Wei Tianjing, Fang Lao was a very good person and never beat people.
While on the boat, I was hit by his wooden knife, but it hurt a lot. I was muttering in my heart, Wei Tianjing suddenly lowered his head, shut up and stopped talking, and only cared about the rice. I was stunned and whispered, "What's wrong?" Tell me what the 'math' class is all about? ”
Wei Tianjing raised his head, still chewing rice in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Gongzi Zheng, let's talk about it later, Prince Xu is here." ”
I was stunned and said, "Who is the prince of Xu?" ”
Wei Tianjing seemed a little frightened, and whispered, "Anya Diji's brother." ”
It dawned on me. Mama Shen told me before that there is another prince in Mingxin Academy, and Anya Emperor is a righteous daughter, and since this prince is her brother, he is also the emperor's righteous son. At that time, all I was thinking about was how this emperor was, and I didn't take it to heart at all, and I hadn't seen it in class before, and when I saw Wei Tianjing so scared, I was even more curious now, and looked up.
After two classes, there were only a dozen apprentices in Mingxin Academy, and I recognized them all, but I saw a person sitting in a position by the window on the left. The most striking thing about this man is that he has long blond hair. Sitting in front of the window, the sunlight reflected in the window, and his hair shone brightly. It's just that he is much older than all of us, and he sits there straight to eat, but his face is expressionless, and he doesn't look like a good person.
I glanced at him, but I didn't dare to look at it more, and asked Wei Tianjing in a low voice: "This is Prince Xu?" ”
Wei Tianjing nodded, but he didn't even dare to speak. Although this prince was born with a different appearance, I heard Uncle Xuan say that this appearance is not uncommon among the Di people in the north. Uncle Xuan is half of the Di blood, and although his hair is also black, he has a beard, and the color of his eyes is lighter. Uncle Xuan said that some of the Di people are blonde and blue-eyed, and their shape is very different from that of the Central Plains, but the others are no different, with two nostrils and a mouth, and five fingers on each hand. Anya was born blonde and blue-eyed, and Prince Xu was her brother, so what's so strange about her appearance? Wei Tianjing looked drooling when he saw Anya Diji, but when he saw her brother, it was like seeing a ghost. When I thought of this, I picked up the rice bowl and said, "I'll go and see Prince Xu." ”
Wei Tianjing and Wei Tianwei looked at me like fools this time. I don't know why they are afraid of this prince, but he is the elder brother of Anya Emperor, and there is almost nothing wrong with Dora a little.
I walked over to Prince Xu's table with a rice bowl, but he had been eating slowly. I stood up straight and said, "Your Highness Xu, under Zheng Hanbai, I wonder if I can sit down next to you?" ”
This dining table can seat four people, and there are ten rows in the dining room, but only about a dozen people are eating, and it is very empty. Prince Xu heard my voice, so he put down his chopsticks and looked up at me. Anya Diji's eyes are blue, but Prince Xu's hair color is similar to hers, and the color of her eyes is not very similar. When he looked at me, his eyes were also extremely indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "There are so many empty seats, can't you sit elsewhere?" ”
I thought about currying favor with him, but I didn't know that Prince Xu was such a rejecting person thousands of miles away, and I felt that I couldn't get off the stage. Although embarrassed, I still smiled and said: "On the first day of entering the Mingxin Courtyard today, I have heard of His Royal Highness Xu's name, and I really want to ask His Highness Xu for advice." ”
"No need, Zheng Gongzi, I won't be merciful in the afternoon class."
Prince Xu's words were already a little disdainful. I'm even more inexplicable, I really don't know when I offended him. I wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, Uncle Xuan often said to me at that time, "Let people not lose their roots, roll on their tongues", he said that it would definitely not hurt to say good things to people, in short, try not to offend people. But this prince seemed to be angry when he saw me, and I wanted to pat his horse, but I slapped it on the horse's leg, and I don't know what he meant by "no mercy". But when he said this, I couldn't sit down in front of him, so I had to come back with a bowl of rice.
There was a nail in front of Prince Xu, and the meal didn't seem to taste good. Even though I always want to leave this guy alone, I always glance that way out of the corner of my eye. Prince Xu didn't care about me at all, and still ate unhurriedly. He eats in a way that is in order, and he is not rude. Wei Tianjing didn't say a word, just ate with his head bored.
I swallowed everything in three or two, and went to the back hall with the rice bowl to put it away, but Wei Tianjing and Wei Tianwei also followed. The two brothers hurriedly put the basin away, Wei Tianjing hurriedly came over, lowered his voice and said, "Zheng Gongzi, you come and drink with me." ”
I saw that he looked worried, and I was stunned: "Bone-setting wine? Do what? ”
Wei Tianjing looked into the dining hall for a while, and saw that Prince Xu was still eating there unhurriedly, so he whispered: "Zheng Gongzi, prepare the bone-setting wine, wait and rub it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be swollen tomorrow." ”
I was even more puzzled and asked, "Why wipe?" ”
Wei Tianjing sighed and said, "Prince Xu doesn't take any other classes, but he will come to this 'royal' class in the afternoon." He's an assistant teacher, and it looks like he's going to be your opponent today. ”
When I heard him say that he was very solemn, I couldn't help but feel a little furious in my heart, and whispered: "Wait, Prince Xu is an assistant teacher, can he beat people during class?" ”
Wei Tianjing said: "It's not a matter of beating people, but Prince Xu has the right to pick people to practice." Looks like he's going to pick you today! ”
Wei Tianjing had a worried look on his face, but there was a look of "finally escaped" in his eyes. It dawned on me and whispered, "He used to make trouble for you, right?" ”
Wei Tianjing's expression suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he whispered, "That was before. Zheng Gongzi, wait a minute, let's beat my bone-beating wine. It's time for class after a nap. ”
I looked at him, and this guy didn't pretend to be very good, not so much caring about me, but relieved. But I also figured it out, in this "royal" class in the afternoon, Prince Xu can practice directly with others because he is an auxiliary teacher. In the past, Wei Tianjing was an unlucky guy who was often picked, and the prince was born tall and almost twice as old as him, and Wei Tianjing must have suffered a lot during the competition. This time, the prince turned his attention to me, and he naturally escaped. However, they don't know that I have been practicing with Uncle Xuan and my father for so many years, and Uncle Xuan said that my Iron Slashing Fist and Shadow Slashing Knife have entered the house, and ordinary people are no longer my opponents, and I don't believe that Prince Xuan can be more powerful than the black rat in the Black Boxing Stadium. I smiled and said, "Well, don't worry, I also want to compare with Prince Xu." ”
Hearing me say this, the two brothers' eyes widened almost at the same time, but Wei Tianjing was stunned, but Wei Tianwei was a little more admired. I didn't expect Anya Queen's brother to have such a bad temperament. But since there is no way to please him, then it can't be bullied by him. Anyway, in Mingxin Academy, he would never dare to do anything out of the ordinary, not to mention that he was much older than me. It's just that I can't figure out why he's so hostile to me, can I......
I looked at Wei Tianjing, and my mind suddenly lit up. The Wei brothers are the cousins of the two princes, and they have the highest status among these companions. Prince Xu is the identity of the prince, that is, between the prince and the companion, so he originally focused on Wei Tianjing's bad luck. And when I first arrived, I was also a prince, in fact, I was already at the same level as the prince. That's it, Prince Xu, so you want to give me some color to see, right?
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I just want to clamp my tail and be a man, and don't offend anyone, but I can't help but offend Prince Xu. This person is chic and handsome, and he is more than ten years older than us, but I didn't expect his heart to be so small. It's just that I can't really make him suffer, otherwise Anya Diji will probably ignore me.
The best thing to do is to let him know what I can do, and then let him win me at the right time. Although he hadn't fought against Prince Xu, I'm sure he wouldn't have the knife-changing skills of Old Fang. But if the prince retreats in the face of difficulties, and I give him enough face, he will understand my kindness to him, and he will no longer be hostile to me. In the future, Anya Diji ......
Thinking about this, I can't help but want to laugh a little. When I came back to my senses and saw that the two Wei brothers were still looking at me there, I smiled hehehe: "Okay, I'll show you my skills later." ”
