16 Chapter 16
On Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a sound of firecrackers in Chang'an, at this time the gunpowder had just appeared, and it had not yet been applied to the firecrackers.
I heard that there are several fang cities in the west of Chang'an City, and there are no curfews tonight with the approval of the government, and the mothers and children are generally selected from the Lao Tzu children, and other men and women wear ghost masks, and a group of people play and sing on the street to expel the ghosts.
However, Li Changan can only think about it, she still has to stay in the palace obediently to participate in the banquet and celebrate the New Year.
Thanks to the fact that she and Li Longji got along quite happily on the surface during this time, and she had a new concubine this year, Li Changan also got a very remote seat at the banquet, surrounded by children of similar age, all children of royal and aristocratic families, each of them was very naΓ―ve.
Fortunately, the children who can be brought to this banquet by the elders are already sensible children, and no one will mischievous, at most, they will whisper a few words because they are far away from Li Longji's seat.
The little girl sitting on Li Changan's right hand is about the same age as her, and she should not be the princess of Tang Xuanzong, if it is Princess Xuanzong, then her sister should be on her left hand.
On her right, it means that the status is a little lower than hers, and it should be the daughter of one of her brothers.
"Whose child are you?" The singing and dancing were too loud, and Li Changan couldn't hear Tang Xuanzong's chat clearly, and he was too bored to eat only to eat, so he simply looked for someone to chat.
The girl is snow-white and cute, her silhouette is softer than Li Changan's, and her temperament seems to be quieter, and she always eats quietly.
She was stunned for a moment after hearing Li Changan's words, and she didn't know what to call Li Changan.
"My name is Li Mingjin, and my grandfather is the king of loyalty."
Li Chang'an understood, it turned out to be the daughter of Tang Suzong, and among the daughters of Tang Suzong, there was a woman named Princess Hezheng, who had a little impression, and there was an inscription related to her called "Princess Hezheng Mingdao Monument", she had read it, and she didn't know if it was the little girl in front of her.
"You should call me aunt, my grandpa is your grandpa's grandpa." However, whether it is Princess Hezheng or not, it will not delay Li Changan to tease the child.
Li Mingjin glanced at Li Changan, and didn't seem to understand why the little girl in front of him was about the same age as her why she was her aunt, but the little girl was very well-behaved.
"Mingjin has seen my aunt."
Li Changan grinned, took out a small handful of sugar from the embroidery bag and stuffed it to Li Mingjin: "Good boy, eat sugar and eat sugar." β
These sugars are fruit-flavored maltose cubes that she specially boiled, with four flavors of fig, orange, hawthorn and goat's milk, and then cut into small pieces and wrapped in oiled paper after cooling, similar to the hard candy cubes of later generations, which have not yet been launched in the pastry shop, and are still classified products.
Li Mingjin stuffed one into his mouth.
Delicious!
It didn't take long for her to be accepted by Li Changan's "mature big child" temperament and the purchase of delicious sugar cubes.
After the banquet ended, he reluctantly pulled Li Changan's sleeve, saying that he would come to Li Changan to play next time he entered the palace.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Concubine Wu Hui began to choose a teacher for Li Changan.
Such a young child doesn't expect her to learn anything, it's just to enlighten the child, and it is enough for the ordinary school secretary of Hongwenguan to enlighten Li Changan. Concubine Wu Hui didn't bother to choose by herself, but directly took a roster of school scholars and asked Li Changan to choose by herself.
Li Changan is very self-aware, her broken characters can teach her as long as she is a serious reader, and the person who can serve as a school scholar in the Hongwen Museum is also the Jinshi and the first, which is more than enough to teach her to write.
However, since Concubine Wu Hui let her choose it herself, she can indeed see if there are any "acquaintances", she can find the best, and it is not a pity not to find it.
Li Changan casually opened the roster.
Li Changan gasped.
Li Changan pinched himself to confirm that he was not dreaming.
Li Changan hugged Concubine Wu Hui's thigh: "Auntie! I want him to teach me how to write! β
Her fingertips pointed to one of the names on the roster.
Yan Zhenqing.
This brother she saw when she was studying! Yan muscles and willow bones, the second line of the world book "Sacrifice Nephew Manuscript", as well as the regular script must practice the character "Duobao Pagoda Tablet"!
Even with his cousin Yan Gaoqing, she also learned, and Yan Changshan in Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness" in the sentence "For Yan Changshan's tongue, for Zhang Juyang's teeth" refers to Yan Gaoqing. When An Lushan rebelled, Yan Gaoqing would rather die than obey, and after his tongue was cut off, he still reprimanded An Lushan with blood in his mouth!
This family is a great talent who can settle the country on the horse and Anbang when he gets off the horse!
Concubine Wu Hui glanced at Yan Zhenqing's information and said clearly: "It turned out to be this Yan family." Yan Shigu's descendants, Yan Hui is in the same vein, his family style is upright, and he has been admitted to the Jinshi fame at a young age, and it is indeed more than enough to teach you to write. β
Li Changan nodded desperately: "Yes, yes, yes, he taught me how to write is more than enough!" β
ββ
Yan Zhenqing has been a "child of other people's families" since he was a child, he lost his father at the age of three, and was raised by his mother, Mrs. Yin, with a stable and mature personality, and he can learn everything. In the twenty-second year of Kaiyuan, he was only twenty-five years old that year, and he was easily admitted to the Jinshi Jiake when he came to the imperial examination, and completed the major events that Du Fu and Meng Haoran had not been able to complete in their lives.
If nothing else, Yan Zhenqing will stay in the position of school secretary for a few more years, and then become a good official after many changes, until Yang Guozhong took the throne, and then he was disgusted and excluded from Beijing by Yang Guozhong. Then in the Anshi Rebellion, he pulled an army to cut off the back road of An Lushan, and made great contributions to pacifying the Anshi Rebellion, which was appreciated by Tang Suzong and Li Heng.
However, appreciation is temporary, and exclusion is lifelong. After Tang Suzong ascended the throne, Yan Zhenqing annoyed Li Heng and the eunuch Li Fuguo because of his upright character, and was demoted and expelled from Beijing. After Tang Dynasty Zong ascended the throne, he reused him, and then he annoyed Prime Minister Yuan Zai because of his upright character, and he was excluded and demoted. After Tang Dezong ascended the throne, he let him enter the enemy camp alone to persuade the thief Li Xilie to surrender and die, and he was finally killed by Li Xilie because he would rather die than surrender, ending his life of generosity and tragedy but did not meet the master.
But now there is a "100 million points" accident.
When Shangguan told him in a subtle tone with a little envy, "Go and enlighten the princess tomorrow", the pen in Yan Zhenqing's hand fell to the ground, and the splashed ink even sank into the tip of his shoe.
Yan Zhenqing was a very serious and upright person, and when he learned from Shangguan that the princess who needed his enlightenment was only five years old, he was at a loss.
Given the fact that the sisters in his clan had been scared and cried more than once by him, Yan Zhenqing doubted that he could coax the five-year-old princess.
With this worried mood, Yan Zhenqing sat in his courtyard all day uneasily, waiting for Li Changan to come over.
There are three palaces and six courtyards living in the Daming Palace, and if Yan Zhenqing is a young man who stays in the palace for a long time, it is naturally not good, and Li Changan usually likes to run out, so he simply asked Li Changan to go to Yan Zhenqing to find enlightenment.
Because of this errand, Yan Zhenqing's superiors also allowed Yan Zhenqing to go back and forth between Hongwen Pavilion and his home freely.
Li Changan deliberately got up early in the morning, bringing the bundles he prepared, ten pieces of dried meat, three pots of good wine, and a pair of Zhang Xu's handwritten cursive script that he asked for from Concubine Wu Hui, and a pair of Ouyang Xun and Chu Suiliang calligraphy that were specially deceived from Tang Xuanzong.
She remembered that Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy was Chu Suiliang at the beginning, and then learned from Zhang Xu, and also studied the two kings in depth. It's just that the calligraphy works of the two kings have not been handed down to this day, and they are more precious, Chu Suiliang and Ouyang Xun are all calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty, and calligraphy works are rare for ordinary people, but there are a lot of stocks in the royal family, and it is more suitable to be a bundle.
"I want to go to school, carrying a small schoolbag on my back......" Li Changan sat in the carriage, holding the small schoolbag that he specially asked the embroidery girl to sew, and hummed softly.
Maybe you can bring some of Yan Zhenqing's used scratch paper back to share with the tutor!
The Tang Dynasty people like locust trees, Han Yu once wrote Chang'an's "Green Huai Twelfth Street", "Tianjie Light Rain Moist Like Crisp" The other name of the street is called Huaiya, and it is said that "the locust trees on both sides of Tianjie are commonly known as 'Huai Street'".
In mid-January, the locust tree has not yet sprouted, and there is no green locust to watch, and Yan Zhenqing's house is on the left side of a large bare locust tree in Yanshoufang.
Although Yan Zhenqing was born in a pure and upright family, the Yan family only has a deep cultural heritage, but there is not much wealth, plus Yan Zhenqing lost his father at the age of three, thanks to his mother's hard work to bring him up, he does not have much money in his hands, so he naturally can't afford to buy the houses of those few squares in Dongcheng, so he can only live in the west of the city.
Li Changan took a long time in the carriage before arriving in front of Yan's house, she happily carried her small schoolbag, followed by a maidservant holding dried meat and wine jars, and walked to Yan's house in three steps and two steps. Yan's house didn't close the door, it stands to reason that Li Changan could just go in directly, but she still stopped in front of the door and stopped the maidservant from entering, but she just knocked on the door hard to let the host know that there was a guest.
Before Yan Zhenqing walked out hurriedly to salute Li Changan, Li Changan first smiled and gave Yan Zhenqing a teacher salute.
"When my husband taught me to write, he was my teacher, and there is only a thing in the world where students want to greet the teacher, and there is no reason for a teacher to bend down to a student." Li Changan looked up at Yan Zhenqing and spoke first to block his words.
Yan Zhenqing obviously didn't expect the round and lovely five-year-old child in front of him to say this, he seemed to want to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, and finally just beckoned Li Changan and his party into the hospital.
Seeing the dried meat and wine jar in the hands of the two maidservants, Yan Zhenqing was surprised for a moment, and then thought that this was a bundle, and looked at Li Changan's expression couldn't help but soften by three points, and his heart felt good.
He originally just thought that this little princess should not be too difficult, but he didn't expect that Li Changan was several times better than the best situation he imagined.
saw Li Changan knock the two maidservants out of the door in front of him, let them go to the West Market by themselves, and wait until it was dark to pick her up, and the good feeling in his heart went up a lot.
There are many students in the Hongwen Pavilion who go to school with servants and slaves, most of these followers are the elders of their families who are afraid of the children being bullied and configure them for this part, the teachers in the Hongwen Pavilion do not dare to take care of the students There is also this part of the reason, one is not good and is sued by the class to the home, how dare the petty officials of the seventh or eighth grade to manage the first grade of the master and the prince and princess? Students are easy to manage, but students' parents are difficult to mess with.
hasn't talked formally yet, Yan Zhenqing already likes this young but very sensible student.
