Chapter 8: The First Encounter with the Three Kings (Part II)
"Mingda, I know it's you, and as soon as you come in, you make this place lively." The young man who had been sitting quietly on the opposite side and had been immersed in reading finally raised his head and looked at Mingda with a smile. Although he said that we had disturbed his reading, there was no hint of reproach in his tone.
"Ha, Brother Jiu, the Taishi has not yet arrived, so you don't have to work so hard." Mingda was obviously very familiar with the young man opposite.
"I'm taking the time to review before the Taishi arrives. Zi said, reviewing the old and learning the new, can be a teacher. As the young man spoke, his gaze stayed on me, with a puzzled look.
"Chang Shan has seen King Jin." I hurriedly got up from my seat, stepped forward, and blessed the young man in front of me. Hearing Mingda call him the ninth brother, I concluded that he was the youngest son of the eldest grandson empress, Mingda's own brother - Jin Wangzhi.
"It turned out to be Changshan." Jin Dynasty I nodded.
After I finished saluting according to the number of salutes, I returned to my seat and secretly looked at King Jin. His eyes are very similar to those of the eldest grandson, but the high bridge of his nose and thick lips are inherited from his father. It's just that between his eyebrows, there is less heroism and solemnity of his father, and more of the softness of the eldest grandson, which makes him look very kind.
Before Mingda could explain the reason for my arrival to King Jin, the Taishi had already strode into the Chongwen Pavilion. King Jin and Mingda immediately stood up, King Jin made a gesture, Mingda saluted, and greeted the Taishi. The Taishi was also busy returning the gift.
I have no experience in the world, and I do everything according to Mingda, so I am naturally half a beat slower than her. The Master immediately noticed me.
"The old minister is stupid, dare to ask Princess Jinyang, who is this?"
"Master Wei, she is the princess of Changshan. Chang Shan, this is Wei Zheng Wei Taishi. Mingda solemnly introduced to us.
"Chang Shan has seen the Taishi." I hurriedly saluted again. I, Datang, advocate etiquette and religion, and the prince of heaven and earth has an irreplaceable position in everyone's life. The Master Wei in front of me is about to become my enlightenment teacher, so he naturally wants to be respected by me from the bottom of my heart. What's more, he is a well-known advisor in the court, and he never succumbs to any force, and he never attaches himself to any force. His upright, upright and outspoken spirit has already impressed me as a young child, and I sincerely admire him.
Taishi Wei was also busy saluting me: "Minister Wei Zheng pays a visit to the princess Chitose!" And when he had spoken, he bowed to me.
I hurriedly stepped forward to support Taishi Wei: "Taishi made such a great gift to Changshan, wouldn't he want to torture Changshan?" ”
"Yes, Master, we are all your students, and you really don't need to be polite to us." Mingda persuaded on the side, "I have made it clear to my father, and Chang Shan will study here with me in the future." ”
Master Wei straightened up with my support, nodded slightly, and instructed Mingda and King Jin to be ready for his questions at any time, and then asked me what books I had read.
I blushed and whispered like a mosquito: "Taishi, I have only read the Book of Songs and the Thousand Character Text, but I don't know many words. ”
"Oh, that's okay! In fact, those of us who read books start from these basic learnings. Master Wei slowly walked to the bookshelf, took out a thin book and walked it in front of me, "This is the "Thousand Character Text", the princess will first read this book according to what she has read before, and I will explain the meaning of each sentence to the princess in detail later." ”
"Master Xie." I took the book from the master's hand, sat down and read it carefully.
