"Did you really let that Huang Huashou, who never said a word of truth, go to teach Huashang and the others?"
Sitting in front of the case, Gu Shubai read the letters and newspapers sent by his subordinates, dumbfounded, "It is true that this man has no house and no land, but his old mother rented a big inn to run, and the whole family lives in that inn, so there is no need to use it. There is no house or land. The income from that inn is quite good, and more importantly, the child he claims to have picked up is actually the younger brother born to him after his old mother became a widow and remarried."
"Cough, cough..."
Yu Fu was leaning on the soft goose feather pillow on the couch to read a book, when he heard this, he immediately sat up straight, "He is so courageous, he dared to talk nonsense in front of us, I didn't realize it at the time."
Gu Shubai shook his head with a smile, "I am the same. He is really good at deceiving people. If he hadn't asked his subordinates to check it out, he would almost think that he is as pitiful as he said."
Yu Fu said: "Then he said he can't go back to Gusu, is it true or not that he squatted outside Yushan Building to inquire about the news?"
"That's true. It's just because his mother is partial to the youngest son. He didn't pass the exam and he didn't have the face to return home. It's not because of travel expenses. As for the price of Yushanlou, he really doesn't have money to eat there every day, but Yushanlou The official said that every day he squatted outside the door and would buy a small bag of snacks, and Yuguan would ask Xiaoer to give him a pot of tea, but he was not hungry at all."
Yu Fu chuckled, "This yellow flower is thin, what a yellow flower is thin!"
Gu Shubai said: "But it's okay to ask him to explain history to the children, he still has some skills. As long as you don't bring this habit of telling lies to the children, it's okay."
Yufu nodded, "I think so too, let the children get in touch with more people, so they can learn how to distinguish. Anyway, there is an old lady Fu who leads the Taixue, so I don't think this Huang Huashou dares to mess around. By the way, I I also want to add more subjects to the children, such as... let the envoy of the Qin Tianjian tell them about the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers, geography, etc. After the children get used to it, they can also ask the head of the sixth department of the court to teach them. They talked about the operation of the court and the functions of the ministries and departments."
She talked eloquently, as if she wanted to let them learn all the things that are beneficial to children. I was also worried that they were too young to digest, so I thought about slowly increasing the subjects.
Naturally, literature and history are the most important, followed by stars, geography, government officials...
"When the children are older and know what they want to study, they can specialize in a subject. This way, they can have choices and satisfy their own interests, which is great."
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Shubai with malicious intentions, "You can also let the generals in the court take the children to learn the art of warfare, riding and archery, both civil and military... What do you think?"
Gu Shubai saw through her plan at a glance, raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm going?"
"Who else is better than you?"
Yu Fu waited for his words, put his hands on his cheeks, and looked at him expectantly.
It has been many years since she saw Gu Shubai's heroic appearance in the martial arts arena, unlike when she was in Guhou's Mansion, she could see it almost every day, and she could even be taught by him personally.
Thinking of this, she can't wait to see it.
Gu Shubai would never refuse her request, and said with a smile, "Okay."
Huashang and others stayed in Taixue for half a month. During this period, they met many ministers with outstanding talents and learning. These ministers were either high-ranking, talented or capable.
It is said that listening to a gentleman is better than reading ten years of books, and these people are indeed more influential than ordinary Confucian scholars, and they are more convincing to children.
And in the past half a month, the students have gradually become familiar with it, and suddenly heard that there will be a riding and archery course tomorrow, and they are very happy to talk about it.
"Half a month of being stuck in the classroom, I can finally go out and practice!"
"Guess who will give us riding and archery lessons? I heard it's the general of the court!"
"General?"
The students all looked at Yuanzhang and the others. When it comes to the generals in the court, eight out of ten were surnamed Gu, and the remaining two were also related to the Gu family.
So they all looked at Yuanzhang, trying to find out who was coming to class.
Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled good-naturedly and said, "If I know, I will tell you as soon as possible, but I really don't know right now."
He had been in Taixue for half a month, and everyone had already understood his character and knew that he would not lie, so they continued to discuss without further questioning.
Hua Chang was also very curious, "Maybe it's the second uncle? Or the third uncle is also possible."
While they were discussing, they suddenly saw a tall man running from the next door, who looked to be seven or eight years old, standing at the door and shouting, "Which one is Gu Yuanzhang?"
He was followed by several big and small boys, and it seemed that the visitor was not friendly. The primary school students all quieted down to see what they were going to do.
Yuanzhang was a little puzzled, but he still stood up and said, "I am, what's the matter?"
The tall man in the lead was dressed in a gorgeous brocade cloud-pattern robe with a red background and a ring around his waist, which looked very cumbersome compared to Kong Wu's tall figure.
It is only those spoiled and weak children who wear rings, and he looks very strange in this way.
The tall man took a look at him, and seeing his handsome appearance, he taunted him, "Looking like a boy with such a handsome face, he dares to say that he can ride and shoot. He's not young at such a young age!"
Most of the elementary school students didn't understand what "little white face" meant, but the big and small children understood it, pointing at Yuanzhang and laughing.
Suddenly, a "firecracker" popped out from behind Yuanzhang, "What are you talking about? How dare you laugh at my brother?!"
The tall man took a look at him, "Who are you? A short onion, and you're from the Gu family, right? Hmph, I think you people from the Gu family are just good-looking, why—"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the little girl sitting in front of Yuanzhang stand up and look at him with her chin raised like a jade sculpture, "How about our Gu family, huh?"
In an instant, the coldness in her eyes swept across the whole room.
Ning Yidan, who had been holding hands with Hua Chang for half a month, subconsciously moved half of her butt backwards, feeling that Hua Chang in front of her was very strange.
It turned out that she looked like this when she was angry, which was completely different from her usual gentle and generous appearance.
The tall man was stunned for a moment, not wanting that there was still someone from the Gu family here.
He knew that the members of the Gu family were good-looking, but he didn't expect there to be such a good-looking person. The little girl in front of me seemed to have stepped out of a New Year painting, and the little fairy under the Guanyin seat was not as good-looking as her.
Those eyes are round and black, like a handful of cool spring water in summer, they are obviously angry, but people can't move their eyes away.
The tall man subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth, worried that he would drool.
Seeing that there are two small flower buns tied on her head, decorated with many fine gemstones, she can't help reaching out her hand stupidly, wanting to touch them.
Yuan Zhang, who was not angry when he was ridiculed, suddenly raised his hand and hit him on the wrist, causing the tall man to retract his hand immediately in pain, "Who told you to do it?"
Gu Jiaojiao's mouth slowly opened wide, forming a large circle, "Wow!"
Brother Yuanzhang beat someone, and he actually beat someone!
He will write it down in notes, and next time his parents say that he is not as good as Yuanzhang, he will use this as an argument!
Behind the tall man, a group of big and small men yelled, "You dare to hit someone! Do you know who he is?"
Yuan Zhang said coldly: "No one can touch Huashang."
Chinese clothes.
The tall man nodded in ecstasy. It turned out that her name was really nice.
The elementary school students who were astonished at the scene before them finally came to their senses, and shouted at the elders, "Do you know who she is? That's Princess Jinling!"
Wow, Princess Jinling!
All the big and small boys backed away, leaving only the tall leader who stood there stupidly. Looking back, seeing that his backing was gone, he gritted his teeth and scolded them for being disloyal.
How did he know that Huashang was the princess of Jinling
Outsiders only know the title of the princess, who knows her boudoir name? What's more, she kept saying that she was from the Gu family, so he mistook Hua Chang for the young lady of the Gu family.
After thinking about it carefully, the regent's surname is Gu. Although the princess' surname is Ji, it's not wrong to say that she is a member of the Gu family...
Seeing that he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, Hua Chang asked, "Who the hell are you?"
Before the tall man could speak, the big and small men behind him had already betrayed him, "He is General Ouyang's young son Ouyang Tielu!"
The tall man turned his head and grinned at those people, and they immediately dispersed like birds and beasts.
Hua Chang glanced at Yuan Zhang, who said in a low voice: "It turns out that he is the old son of General Ouyang, and his seniority is higher than ours. I heard that the old general loves him very much and has always been domineering. No wonder he dared to Come to provoke."
Since he is the son of an important minister in the court, Hua Chang didn't want to embarrass him, so he just said: "Why did you come to scold Brother Yuanzhang just now, and when did he provoke you?"
I don't know if Ouyang Tielu didn't dare to do anything because of Huashang's identity, or because he was confused by her appearance, he just said obediently: "I'm next door, and I heard that there will be riding and archery lessons in the afternoon. They all said that there is a man named Gu Yuanzhang here." The one is the eldest grandson of the Gu family. The riding and archery taught by Mr. Gu himself is very good, and he even said that I can’t match it. Whenever I get angry, why don’t I just come and see…”
As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller.
Sure enough, Gu Jiaojiao grabbed his words and yelled: "Are you here to come and see? You are clearly provocative! You still call my brother a jerk, hurry up and apologize!"
If Yuanzhang's appearance is a dude, then the three generations of the Gu family are all dudes. Why, is it their fault for being handsome
Ouyang Tie Lv didn't know what an apology is in his life, his eyes widened when he heard this, Hua Chang suddenly said: "Forget it, if you think you are someone, why don't you see the truth in the martial arts arena, what's the point of talking about it here? "
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ouyang Tie Lv, "If you are a man, you can compete with my elder brother Yuanzhang in the martial arts field this afternoon, so that you can swallow your words convincingly."
She lifted her chin slightly, and her eyes shone with confidence and generosity, which made Ouyang Tielu's mind go blank even more.
A boy who likes bow horse riding and archery is most afraid of being said that he is not a man, so he immediately agreed, looking at Yuanzhang, "Then let's talk about it, let's have a competition this afternoon, whoever loses will be a puppy!"
How could he lose when he was eight years old compared to a five-year-old brat
Yuan Zhang nodded slightly, and his momentum was calmer than that of eight-year-old Ouyang Tie Lv, "If a gentleman says a word, it's hard to chase."
Ouyang Tielu took one last look at Huashang, and walked out calmly.
After he left, all the primary school students gathered around Yuanzhang and the others, "Yuanzhang, can you really beat him? What if you lose, you will be called a puppy!"
Everyone was worried about him, Ning Yidan was thin and did not squeeze into the crowd, and only looked at Yuanzhang.
Hua Chang saw it suddenly, was a little surprised, and said again: "Yidan, what's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing."
Ning Yidan said: "I'm worried, the son of Ouyang's family is old, tall and shapely, what if it can't compare?"
She pretended nothing had happened, but her face was half red.
Hua Chang vaguely noticed something, looked at Yuanzhang through the crowd, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanzhang was born as handsome as the second uncle, and added a bit of elegance and elegance like the second aunt. I heard from my father that the second uncle is young At that time, women liked him the most, but I didn't expect Brother Yuanzhang to be the same as Second Uncle."
Ning Yidan was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't understand the meaning of her words, she just subconsciously asked: "Who did he like?"
Hua Chang chuckled.
This is really self-inflicted.
…
In the afternoon, the children all changed into short clothes with their cuffs tied tight, and went to the martial arts arena in the palace with great interest.
This is the place where the champion of martial arts is selected every three years. For boys who like to ride and shoot, it can be described as a holy place in their dreams.
How exciting would it be if he could compete with all martial arts scholars in the world when he grows up in the future
Before the master who taught them riding and archery came, Ouyang Tielu came straight to Yuanzhang, "Let's compete directly, I can defeat you in one match!"
Yuanzhang looked around, but he didn't know when the master who taught riding and shooting would come, so if he wanted to decline at this moment, people would think he was afraid of Ouyang Tielv.
He himself was fine, and he couldn't lose face to the Gu family.
"Okay, let's make a quick decision, how do we compare?"
Ouyang Tie Lv pointed to a row of targets standing in the distance, "Simple, one person shoots three targets with three arrows, whoever hits the most hearts wins, how about it?"
This is indeed the fastest way.
Yuanzhang nodded, "Okay, just don't delay everyone's class."
For the sake of fairness, the two of them used the small bows and arrows prepared for them by the martial arts field, which were suitable for children's stature.
When I got to the location, I saw that even the target was small, so I knew it was specially prepared for children like them.
Yuanzhang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and drew his bow first.
Everyone was watching, Ning Yidan was anxiously clutching his sleeves, worried that Yuanzhang would lose face. Hua Chang comforted: "Don't worry, the bow that brother Yuanzhang practiced at home was used by his second uncle. It was so heavy that I couldn't even draw it. The bow in this game is very light, which is nothing to brother Yuanzhang. a plate of."
"Really?"
Ning Yidan got better when he heard the words, looked at the field, Yuan Zhang had already opened his bow.
He stood in front of the first platform and shot an arrow, and quickly strung the string to the second platform, making three swishing sounds, and before everyone could react, he had already shot all three arrows.
"Hey, Gu Yuanzhang, did you aim?"
Ouyang Tie Lv thought he was fooling himself, so he panicked, looked in the direction of the three targets, and was speechless for a moment.
I saw that the arrows on the three targets were all there, two of them were inserted into the red heart, and the other was slightly off but not far from the red heart.
He was dumbfounded.
This... how is this possible
He clearly saw that Gu Yuanzhang didn't even take aim!
"you… "
"It's your turn."
Yuan Zhang glanced in the direction of the entrance of the martial arts arena, worried that the delay would affect everyone's class, so he urged Ouyang Tie Lv.
Seeing his confident and careless appearance, Ouyang Tielu felt angry, so he had no choice but to take up his bow and arrow and go on stage.
Yuanzhang shot the arrows quickly, so he naturally couldn't be ambiguous, and he didn't lose the battle, so he followed Yuanzhang's example and fired three arrows quickly. Unexpectedly, except for the first one which was slightly aimed close to the red heart, the other two all went to the country of Java, and almost missed the target.
After seeing the situation clearly, he blushed like a monkey's butt.
"Oh! Yuanzhang won!"
"Yuanzhang is too powerful!"
The primary school students gathered around Yuanzhang to congratulate, Yuanzhang booed hurriedly, worried that it would be bad for their master to see them in this competition.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the entrance, "What did Yuan Zhang do?"
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice, and saw a handsome man walking slowly, with a bow and arrow clearly in his hand, but his demeanor was as high as the pine on the top of the mountain, and as gentle as the jade of Kunshan.
Hua Chang was overjoyed immediately, "It's my father."
When Ning Yidan heard her words, he looked at Gu Shubai in surprise, looked back and forth between him and Yuan Zhang, but couldn't react for a long time.
Everyone was silent and did not dare to speak, only Yuanzhang stepped forward and said: "We had a little competition just now, and Yuanzhang won by luck, so everyone is happy."
"Oh, is it so?"
Gu Shubai glanced at Huashang, and then saw Ouyang Tielu, a tall boy with a blushing face in the crowd, and immediately understood the reason.
