The prince doesn't have high demands on Jiang Hewen, as long as he looks good, his character doesn't matter.
Prince Kang thought more, "Tomorrow, let the concubine go to the general's mansion to meet the eldest princess! After all, she is the adopted daughter of the empress dowager. She is your aunt because of her seniority. Regarding Wanyi, you should deal with her." Say it."
The prince glanced at King Kang, "Father, why did Wanyi choose Jiang Hewen? Isn't that what the queen mother meant? The reason why the queen mother did this was because Wanyi made a fuss, and on the other hand, she didn't want to Let Jiang Hewen pester the eldest princess of Hengyang again. The eldest princess understands in her heart that there is no need for this."
"Now that you know, you should understand how much the Queen Mother and His Majesty love this eldest princess. A good relationship with her will only benefit our palace and not harm it! Didn't you also read the military experience left by General Li and said Do you have any experience?" King Kang felt that he couldn't finish worrying.
The prince remained calm, "I heard that Mr. Xue admired General Li's loyalty and the eldest princess's selflessness, and intends to take Li Chen, the adopted son of the eldest princess, as his apprentice. I plan to take Heng'er to try my luck. If Heng'er can be Mr. Xue likes it and accepts him as a disciple, so I feel relieved."
"You said it was Mr. Xue Nanshan?" King Kang's eyes were red with excitement. That was Xue Nanshan, a great Confucian with the name of Southern King and Northern Xue! What an honor it is to be accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Xue!
"Are you sure? No, Heng'er is smart, so it should be fine. Oh, you didn't say it earlier, if you said it earlier, I would invite Heng'er to come back and teach you in advance. When are you going?" ? Is it too late now?" King Kang walked back and forth excitedly, and said to himself.
The son regretted it a bit, he just said it casually, trying to evade it, but who knew that the old man took it seriously. Those who can be accepted by Xue Nanshan are those who have a chance with Xue Nanshan. Even Li Chen, Xue Nanshan offered to accept him as a disciple, and his intention was about the same as the meaning of the imperial court's appointment of Li as the eldest princess. No matter how knowledgeable Xue Nanshan is, he is just a layman.
However, how old is Heng'er, how could Xue Nanshan have a crush on Heng'er. Besides, His Majesty once asked Xue Nanshan to continue to teach the princes, but Xue Nanshan refused on the grounds of his advanced age. In fact, the literati have the same name and do not want to have anything to do with the royal family. .
"Hey, don't go, what day is it, how did you arrange it, tell me quickly, let's discuss it together!" Seeing his son leaving, King Kang hurriedly chased after him.
Over there, Li Su looked at the old man in front of him and hesitated, "Mr. Xue, do you really want to take my Chen'er as an apprentice? He is still young and has no talent for reading..." Besides, he obviously I am more interested in martial arts.
Xue Nanshan stroked his beard and smiled, "Talent is second, character is the most important thing." He Xue Nanshan's name is put on the outside, it is a golden signboard, and many people flock to it. However, this mother and son reacted differently.
However, Xue Nanshan gave the mother and son a higher look because of this.
Hearing what Xue Nanshan said, Li Su turned his head to look at Li Chen, "Chen'er, what do you mean?"
Li Zhong blushed with excitement. Seeing that Li Chen was silent, he quietly moved behind Li Chen, poked him with his finger, and whispered in Li Chen's ear: "I heard that Mr. Xue has a lot of books in his family, many of which have been lost. A long-standing military book."
Li Chen's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Xue Nanshan.
Although Xue Nanshan is old, he has sharp eyes and ears. Although Li Zhong's voice is low, he heard it. Seeing Li Chen looking at him, he nodded, "Yes, I have millions of books in my family, among which there are many books on military tactics. Law."
Li Chen immediately bowed his hands without hesitation, saying "Master!"
Xue Nanshan stroked his beard and smiled, and Li Chen agreed, and the next thing went much smoother. Xue Nanshan and Li Su discussed the date of the apprentice ceremony.
Xue Nanshan was getting old, so he didn't intend to accept any more apprentices, but he admired the loyalty of the Li family, and admired Li Su as a woman with a heart better than many men, so he decided to make an exception and accept Li Chen as a closed disciple.
Li Chen didn't care about whether the door was closed or not. What he cared about was whether he would follow Xue Nanshan and leave his mother's side in the future.
When he asked this question, Xue Nanshan smiled, "Besides accepting you as an apprentice when I come to Beijing this time as a teacher, there is another important thing, and that is to compile the history books of the previous dynasty. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive. I will not leave the capital as a teacher for about a few years. Therefore..."
Before he finished the following words, Li Chen knew what it meant, he was relieved, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Li Su was afraid that Xue Nanshan would feel that Li Chen was too attached to his mother and that his son and daughter had grown closer, so he hurriedly explained: "Mr. Xue, don't mind, this child has a poor background, so..."
Xue Nanshan smiled warmly, "It's human nature for children to be attached to their mother."
Seeing this, Li Su smiled, "Thank you Mr. Xue Haihan."
"I heard that the Eldest Princess is sorting out Lingtang's poems during his lifetime. I wonder if this old man will be lucky enough to have a look?" Xue Nanshan asked again.
"Ah?" Li Su was a little surprised. She had read her mother's poems, but with her literary accomplishment, she could tell that her mother's poems were not very good, but they were more compassionate. Therefore, the poetic style is grand and magnanimous, which is not like that made by women.
Xue Nanshan didn't explain, just smiled and looked at Li Su.
Li Su was a little dazed, "Okay, Mr. Xue wait a moment." She got up and went to the study.
Xue Nanshan took a sip from his teacup, looked out the window, as if he saw that beautiful spring many years ago, the girl in purple quietly walked up to him with a few manuscripts, "Mr Xue, this is the poem I wrote , can you take a look for me?"
Before I could receive the poem manuscript, the girl's father, my friend for many years, rushed over to the poem manuscript and tore it up. Well, no matter what poem you write, who will read your poem, don't be ashamed here, go back!"
Xue Nanshan still remembers the tears in the girl's eyes, "I will definitely find someone who is willing to appreciate my poems!" After speaking, the girl turned and ran away.
"Nanshan, my little girl is naughty, I'll let you see a joke." Xue Nanshan can't remember what his friend said at that time.
So many years have passed in a flash, the girl has died at the border with her husband, and her daughter is so old.
Time flies!
Just when Xue Nanshan fell into memory, Li Su had already taken out most of the poem manuscripts he had sorted out, and handed them over to Xue Nanshan.
Xue Nanshan took the manuscripts and read them one by one. He read them very seriously and carefully.
After reading it, Xue Nanshan put away the manuscripts one by one, "Lingtang's poems are second only to literary talents, and they are better than large-scale, family, country, and compassion, which are much better than ordinary men's poems. If the poems in the future become , please give me a copy from the eldest princess."
Li Su hurriedly said, "Yes, thank you Mr. Xue for your compliment."
After Xue Nanshan left, Li Su was very puzzled, "Does Xue Nanshan know my mother?"
Li Zhong blinked blankly, he didn't know wow!
The lady's mother's home is far in the southwest, and both of the lady's parents are gone. There is only one half-brother left, and the relationship is not close. Since the lady married the general, the two families have almost lost contact. The madam's companions at the time were all let go by the madam because they couldn't stand the bitter cold at the border.
So, they don't know about these things.
"Forget it, don't think about it. As long as Mr. Xue is not malicious." Li Su also felt that he was thinking too much. Xue Nanshan is seventy this year, and her mother is only thirty-eight alive. Xue Nanshan can be her at his age. Grandfather! Even if Xue Nanshan really knew her mother, she might be the daughter of an old friend or something.
In this way, Xue Nanshan led his disciples to compile the history books of the previous dynasty, and at the same time took Li Chen by his side to give pointers in person.
Xue Nanshan is worthy of being a great Confucian in the world. His teaching methods are flexible and changeable, and he pays attention to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Li Chen's interest in learning was aroused little by little, and it didn't take long for him to trust this master wholeheartedly.
Li Su was also very satisfied with such a result. It seems that there are no students who can't teach well, only teachers who can't teach!
On the side of Prince Kang's mansion, because Xue Nanshan had made it clear that Li Chen was a closed disciple, the King of Kang County was not ashamed to ask Xue Nanshan to take his eldest grandson as his disciple.
The most important thing is that Princess Wanyi has made a fool of herself again.
Missing her deceased husband, she drank too much, and accidentally fell down the steps and broke her leg.
The agreed wedding date had to be postponed.
If you can't get married for a day, you are always worried. For Jiang Hewen, nights are long and dreams are more so.
Therefore, with the acquiescence of King Kang, Jiang Hewen began to frequent the other hospital where Princess Wanyi was convalescing, taking good care of her and being attentive.
"Princess, Mr. Jiang is here."
Hearing the maid's return, Princess Wanyi rolled her eyes impatiently, "Why is he here again? Come every day, he doesn't bother me, but I do!"
The prince peeled the tangerine, took a piece and stuffed it into his sister's mouth, "Be content, it's better to be intentional than unintentional."
"I need him to be courteous here! If it wasn't for the queen mother's instruction, I wouldn't bother to talk to him, and others would push me away!" Princess Wanyi swallowed the orange and said impatiently.
"Isn't it because you are too flamboyant and provoked criticism from everyone. For the sake of the royal face, the Queen Mother ordered you to find someone to marry, so as to deceive others? You should also pay attention to those faces. Don't let them move around at will. This Jiang Hewen is not bad. That's right, let's use it!" Shizi handed over another orange, Princess Wanyi shook her head, expressing that she didn't want to eat any more.
"Forget it, let him come in!" Princess Wanyi said angrily.
Jiang Hewen came in with a few boxes of pastries, and the prince stood up when he saw this, "I'll go first if someone is with you."
Jiang Hewen stood aside respectfully, Shizi patted him on the shoulder, and left without waiting for Jiang Hewen to speak.
Jiang Hewen was a little disappointed, maybe he was thinking too much, he always felt that the uncle in the future seemed to be a little distant and not affectionate enough to him, this is not okay. There are still many places to rely on him in the future.
"Princess, how are you doing today? You said a few days ago that you wanted to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and white jade cake made by the master chef before Lantingfang, but unfortunately that master has left Lantingfang. I found the master yesterday , I finally asked him to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and white jade cakes, and the princess has a taste, but is it the taste that the princess remembers?" Jiang Hewen put down his hospitality and opened the snack box in his hand, and said with a smile.
Princess Wanyi just said something casually that day, but Jiang Hewen really managed to find the master chef and asked him to make dim sum. It is considered very careful to take Princess Wanyi's words to heart.
However, Princess Wanyi, as the most favored princess in Prince Kang's Mansion, grew up with so many slaves like this around her. How many people racked their brains and thought hard for her words. She was used to this kind of life, so Jiang Hewen's move did not move Princess Wanyi much.
