Chapter 2 Scholars

The next day, it was only the fifth watch, and Li Shan was already sober. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He pushed open the window, the sky outside was still very dark, and the sound of a rooster crowing gradually came from in the distance, Li Shan hurriedly put on his new clothes, and some treasures touched the material of the clothes, and there was indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

Li Shan didn't delay too long, and then he cleaned up, remembering Steward Liu's instructions yesterday, and walked to the door of the little prince's bedroom, he found that there were already four thirteen or fourteen-year-old cardamom girls standing in front of the little prince's door, one of them was carrying a basin of hot face wash, one was holding wicker towels and other things, and the other two didn't take anything, standing motionless at the door. Li Shan looked at the girl with the basin curiously, and wondered how long she had been standing with the copper basin that was not light, and it seemed that her arms were still steady.

Li Shan stood in the place where the two girls were not in the way, guarding the door of the bedroom like a stone man, and his mind drifted to home. He is also a child in the end, and it is inevitable that he will be reluctant to leave home for the first time, even if his father treats him badly, his eldest brother often bullies him.

Time gradually disappeared, and the sun also rose from the sky, and a ray of sunlight shone on Li Shan's face, making him can't help but want to touch it. He was now unwell and had been standing for an hour, his clothes half-wet from the dew. The girl on the side had already changed her face wash five or six times, and when Li Shan secretly looked at her, he found that the girl's arms were trembling slightly, and her forehead was sweating.

After standing for an hour, Li Shan couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, and secretly regretted why he came to the palace in a daze, it was simply not a place for people to stay. But the more he thought about it in his heart, the more cautious Li Shan became, for fear that he would make a mistake by wandering his mind.

After another half an hour, a lazy command came from the little prince, and the four girls hurriedly walked in and closed the door, for fear that the wind would blow in. There was the sound of clothes being sought, as well as the various orders of the little prince, Li Shan was bored waiting outside, sneakily glancing with his eyes, and seeing a group of people walking over slowly, Li Shan hurriedly withdrew his gaze as if he had been caught, and his heart was pounding.

When the crowd walked in, Li Shan saw a corner of gorgeous dresses, which were not at the same grade as the clothes of the entourage behind him, and guessed in his heart, gritted his teeth ruthlessly when the person was getting closer and closer to him, and knelt on the ground with a puff: "The villain greets the prince." ”

"Get up. Li Shan secretly answered correctly, only then did he feel that his heart was beating as if it was about to pop out, and he hurriedly got up to thank him.

"Qian'er, have you gotten up, come out and show your father how you look in your student uniform. Ignoring Li Shan, Lord Ma looked at the closed door with a courteous face.

"Come out!" The little prince inside responded loudly, and after a while, the door opened, and a child wearing a dark cyan student uniform came out of it, which was the little prince. The little prince held a student hat in one hand and coquettishly in front of Ma Wangye: "Father, you help me put on a student hat!"

"Okay!" Ma Wangye suddenly burst into joy, took the student hat and carefully brought it for his son, and praised it for being so beautiful. praised the little prince like a proud peacock and raised his head.

"Father, where is my little scholar?" Turning around, the little prince looked for Li Shan in the crowd, but he hadn't seen Li Shan yet, how could he know where Li Shan was, he didn't think much about it and asked directly with some dissatisfaction.

When the prince heard that his son was dissatisfied, he was also displeased, and scolded: "Scholar, what are you still doing in a daze?

Li Shan was taken aback, and didn't understand what mistake he had made the two princes dissatisfied, so he hurriedly went over and saluted deeply, forced himself to calm his trembling voice, and said, "The villain is here." ”

"What's your name?" Ma Wangye looked at the thin Li Shan and asked with a frown.

"Villain Li Shan. Li Shan's scalp was numb and he quickly replied.

"Father, the name Li Shan is not good, I want to change it!" The little prince rolled his eyes and pulled Ma Wangye to be coquettish, Ma Wangye nodded in agreement again and again, and asked his son what name he wanted.

The little prince smiled and said, "Since it's the scholar who follows me, it's good to call it Laifu." As soon as he heard this, Ma Wang Ye praised his son again and again for taking a good name, and it was easy to remember.

At this time, Li Shan complained bitterly in his heart, he knew that the name of Laifu was the name of a dog raised by a family at the end of his Lijia Village, he was extremely reluctant to call this name, but when he heard the continuous compliments of the people around him, he remembered that Steward Liu said that the order of the little prince would be carried out even if he died, so he could only recognize this name, and pretended to be happy after the little prince called Laifu: "Thank you for the name of the little prince, Laifu will definitely go to the soup for the little prince." Li Shan was reluctant to say this, even if he was young, he could feel a deep disgust for his words, but his brother-in-law taught him like this, and Li Shan could only do it.

Seeing Li Shan's performance, the little prince lost his mind to play tricks on him, and instead ordered Li Shan to take the things he was going to the school and sit in the prepared sedan chair.

The four of them carried the sedan chair, and Li Shan followed, he didn't know where to go, so he had to carefully hold the little prince's stationery in his arms to prevent a mistake. He had heard that pen, ink, paper, and inkstones were so precious that he couldn't afford to sell a single pen.

The sedan chair walked on the road, no one dared to stand in the way, Li Shan saw with his own eyes that a stall selling goods was overturned because it blocked the road, melons, fruits and vegetables were scattered all over the ground, and the guards who opened the stall also carried a string of grapes to the sedan chair. Li Shan looked sympathetic, but he knew that he couldn't talk nonsense, and he couldn't help those people.

Along the way, Li Shan could feel the hatred and fear of the surrounding civilians for the palace, and even the eyes that looked at him also hated, which made Li Shan feel uncomfortable. Finally, there were fewer people around him, and the surrounding buildings became more and more exquisite and beautiful, and Li Shan understood that there were some people like Ma Wangye living here. Finally, the sedan chair carried the little prince to the door of a private school, and there were several sedan chairs at the door, all of which were extraordinary, and at a glance they knew that the identity of the owner was not ordinary.

As soon as the sedan chair stopped, the little prince got down from the sedan chair, and the private school did not allow the sedan chair to enter. Inside the door is a small courtyard, which has all kinds of rockery pools. At the end of the garden is the classroom where the little prince is going.

There were already five or six people sitting in the classroom, all of them eight or nine years old, and behind each of them was a scholar like Li Shan. As soon as the little prince entered the door, he greeted the sitting child, ignoring Li Shan's meaning at all. Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, found the place where the little prince who Steward Liu told him yesterday was sitting, gently put everything away, and studied the ink like other scholars.

After a while, a long-haired old man walked in from the door, the old man was dressed in a green shirt and holding a ring ruler, with a serious face. The other children hurriedly sat down when they saw Mr. come in, only the little prince still didn't know the situation, and still talked about his own.

"Young Master Ma Gan, sit down!" Mr. said in a stern voice, and the little prince's body trembled, obviously unhappy, but it seemed that he knew the majesty of Mr., so he could only sit down aggrieved. The gentleman glanced at the aggrieved little prince and said, "This is only one time, you don't take it as an example, you have to do your duty in the old man's class!"

"Yes...... Mr. ...... "The little prince was forced by Mr.'s majesty to reluctantly agree.

The gentleman immediately ignored the little prince, he looked around for a week, and said, "Since you have come to the old man's private school, you must listen carefully, and there is no identity in my private school." When he said this, Li Shan saw the encouragement in his husband's eyes, and he was also surprised in his heart, and he didn't know what the gentleman meant by this.

Then the gentleman began to teach, first instructing the other children to recite the three-character scripture they learned yesterday, and then came to the little prince and taught the little prince to write. Li Shan watched carefully on the side, remembering all the details of his husband's teaching, although he didn't get his hands on the pen, his fingers moved lightly.

The little prince is a restless master, he sat on the seat for a short time and began to look left and right, and saw that the children around him were seriously reciting the three-character scripture, so he felt a little bored and wanted to go to the garden to play.

The little prince's small movements naturally did not escape from Mr.'s eyes, and Mr. came over solemnly and scolded: "What are you messing with, concentrate on practicing calligraphy." The little prince was unwilling, and shook the pen and scribbled on the rice paper, and the gentleman frowned deeply when he saw this scene, and scolded the little prince a few words. Then he said to the little prince: "The old man will not punish you this time, but your fault is inevitable, and your scholar will bear it." If there is a next time, it will be you who will be punished. ”

When the little prince heard this, he was also stunned. When Li Shan heard Mr. mention himself, although he didn't know what Mr. was going to do, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Reach out. Mr. said in a serious voice, and Li Shan slowly put his right hand in front of him.

"The other hand. Li Shan hurriedly changed out his left hand.

Mr. raised the ring ruler, Li Shan also saw that the ring ruler was made of bamboo, Li Shan looked at Mr. with some fear, he knew that hitting people with bamboo sticks hurt the most, although it would not rot but it would swell into a piece and not go away for a few days.

The gentleman was unmoved, and the ring ruler was heavily pumped on Li Shan's left hand, only to hear a snap, Li Shan's palm swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, Li Shan's painful conditioned reflex withdrew his hand, and took out the withdrawn hand tremblingly. Mr.'s punishment is not over yet, Li Shan's eyes are already red, and tears are rolling in his eyes, but they just haven't fallen.

The little prince on the side was already pale with fright, he had never been so scared, and he heard Mr. say that if he made another mistake, this blow would hit his own hands. Looking at Li Shan's red and swollen palms, as well as his uncomfortable expression, the little prince was deeply afraid. He had long heard that his private school master even dared to beat the prince, and he had also been warned by his father, and now he didn't dare to make a mistake when he saw Li Shan's appearance again.

The gentleman was a little moved and looked at Li Shan. But the punishment was not over yet, and the gentleman then knocked Li Shan's red and swollen hand twice lightly and severely, and let him go.

At this time, all the children were silent, obediently learning what they should learn under the glance of the husband, even the always stubborn little prince.
