After the bell was rung, the day's lessons began.
Nanshan Academy is not a place to study hard, especially in the youth stage. Before the goal of life is determined, the distribution of courses is very reasonable and even: literature class in the morning, martial arts class and talent class in the afternoon. Literature class accounts for the largest proportion, but It also has the most to learn.
As the eldest master, Sun Fuzi is in charge of all the literature classes, including Liushu and Jiushu, and some teaching of the Four Books and Five Classics, which happens to be "The Book of Songs" today.
In the "Book of Songs" class in the past, Master Sun's favorite student was Jing Yun, followed by Young Master Lin. These two students were considered young in the class, especially Jing Yun, who just turned six years old this year. Such a young child Being able to concentrate on listening and understand everything, Mr. Sun felt that he could not teach too well. However, since the two disciples of Su Xinzong came, he felt that he could add another one to his favorite list. There are two people.
"The content of this class is "Xiangmu", 'there is a tree in the south, and Ge Xun is tired of it. If you are only a gentleman, you will be blessed. .In the south there is a tree, which is lingered by Ge Xun. If you are only a gentleman, you will be happy.' Does anyone know what this poem means?"
Mrs. Sun usually looks at Young Master Lin and Jing Yun when he asks such a profound question, but today, as soon as he finished speaking, before he could look at them, a small person stood up in front of him: "I know , master."
Master Sun took a closer look and found that he was a new disciple of the Suxin Sect. Suxin Sect is famous for its martial arts. Master Sun didn’t think its literary skills were so good. With a very tolerant attitude, Master Sun asked Li Fangfei to write the poem The text was translated, and the result was exactly the same as the poetry! Not only that, but I also added my own point of view: "... this poem is correct, but I think that being a gentleman should not only consider others, sometimes you must first please yourself first, and then please others, and you should not be arbitrary. Beg for perfection."
This concept is a bit deviant, but it is novel and true. Master Sun nodded in satisfaction. Congratulations, congratulations for a girl with such insights!
In the following classes, Li Luo also showed the same excellent talent as his senior sister. No matter what Master Sun asked, he could answer fluently. The two new students stole the limelight that originally belonged to Jing Yun and Young Master Lin. .
Young Master Lin's complexion became a little ugly. Losing to Ji Jingyun was already boring enough, how come two new students are better than him
Jing Yun's expression was very calm, he listened carefully to the class, and wiped the corners of his sister's mouth from time to time.
The excellence of Li Fangfei and Li Luo is not only reflected in their poems, their arithmetic also impresses all the students.
"When counting seven to seven, there are two remaining, and when counting five to one, there are no zeros. Between the counting nine, there are four lights left. How many red lights are shining?" Master Sun asked a question.
This is Qin Jiushao's "Han Xin Ordering Soldiers", and it is also a very difficult arithmetic problem. It roughly means that there is a light bridge composed of many colorful lights. When counting seven by seven, there are two left; When counting the number of nines, there are only four lights left. Now I have to ask: How many lights are there on this light bridge
There were quite a few people in the class who understood the meaning of the question and started to draw on the paper immediately. However, before they could figure out why, Li Fangfei and Li Luo had already said the answer in unison: "Three hundred and ten lamps .”
Everyone was startled.
Master Sun asked, "How did you figure it out?"
This means, it seems that the two are right.
Li Fangfei smiled calmly and said: "If you go back to Master, it is Da Yan seeking a technique."
Mrs. Sun was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Such a young child actually knew how to master the art of alchemy. You must know that he had mastered it for a long time at the beginning. Although he knew it later, it was still difficult for him to do mental arithmetic.
These two children did not come to participate in the entrance examination. If they did, it might not be certain who will be the first, right
The two who were accepted only for the purpose of exchanging two students to Suxinzong, now they are really lucky to have such an excellent student.
"Brother, have you figured it out?" Wang Shu asked Jing Yun.
Jing Yun didn't start writing either, but he figured it out, even faster than the two of them, so he hummed lightly.
Wang Shu pulled his brother's little hand under the table: "I know that brother is the most powerful!"
When he was in the private school in Rhinoceros Village, the old scholar once taught Jing Yun a small lesson alone. At that time, he taught "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics", which contained similar topics. This kind of technique is actually a bit complicated, and it is impossible for a child of Jing Yun's age to master it, and the old scholar just mentioned it casually, so he didn't expect Jing Yun to really learn it.
But Mrs. Sun didn't know that Jing Yun could do it too. See, Young Master Lin has scratched his head like a chicken coop. Although Jing Yun is more talented than Young Master Lin, it is said that he only stayed in a private school in the countryside before coming here. How could the master there teach such a complicated thing
At the end of the morning class, Master Sun felt like he had found a treasure. When he returned to the study, everyone he met would praise Li Fangfei and Li Luo. For a while, all the masters in the courtyard knew that Suxinzong had two great disciples. up.
Since Suxinzong sent such excellent disciples, the exchange students sent by their academy should not be too bad.
"Should we let Pinming go?" the dean suggested.
Pin Ming is nineteen years old this year and has been in the academy for eight years. He is one of the most outstanding students in the academy.
Vice President Jiang said: "Isn't it right? Pinming's studies are too heavy. After half a year away, it's hard to make up for the delayed homework. Why don't you find someone of the same age who doesn't have a lot of studies?"
The only ones who are not serious about their studies are freshmen.
Among the freshmen, the brothers and sisters Jing Yun and Wang Shu with the best grades are undoubtedly. The two of them have both civil and military skills. However, they are only six years old. Is it possible that such a young child should be sent to the Suxin Sect
"I think it's feasible." Vice President Jiang said with a smile, "Did you forget that the prime minister is also a disciple of Suxinzong? The Ji family's fief is at the foot of Suxinzong, and there are many people to take care of them. It’s better to send the two over than to send anyone else.”
The matter of Jing Yun and Wang Shu as exchange students was settled in this way. The dean wrote a letter to tell the emperor that the emperor respected the academy's decision. Once the emperor agreed, there was basically no room for change.
The news quickly spread to Qinglianju, and Qiao Wei was furious: "What? Let Jing Yun and Wang Shu go to Suxinzong?"
The leader ate the orange, and the orange fell with a bang.
The little junior sister was also stunned.
Bi'er scratched her head: "I can't tell, let Ming'an come in and come back!"
Qiao Wei called Ming An in.
Ming'an told Qiao Wei the news he got from the palace in detail: "Su Xinzong sent two outstanding disciples to the academy. They are about the same age as the children in Jing Yun's class. Those two children are very powerful. It’s outrageous, the academy sees that everyone has sent them so well, so it’s not easy for them to send two crooked melons, so they pick Zhong Jingyun and Wang Shu, who made them the top two in the entrance examination?"
Qiao Wei pinched her fingers: "Isn't the academy not accepting transfer students? How much face does Su Xinzong have to say to put the two children in?"
Ming An said: "It was specially approved by the emperor."
"Why did the emperor give permission for this? I managed to get the two children into the academy, and they became disciples of the Suxin sect without sitting on their buttocks?" Qiao Wei pinched her fingers again, "I'm so confused I don't even know it hurts!"
The leader had a cold face: "You pinched mine."
Qiao Wei withdrew her hand.
The leader looked at the swollen fingers, and his face darkened speechlessly.
Qiao Wei squinted her eyes: "That Uncle Fu must have really done it!"
The little junior sister was stunned: "You mean fifth senior brother? Why did he do this?"
Qiao Wei said: "Isn't it for me to hand you over?"
The little junior sister whispered: "Fifth senior brother... is it really that bad?"
Qiao Wei glanced at her and said, "Why isn't it so bad? Have you forgotten how that group of people arrested you? I really love you, so I should coax you back properly, even grabbing and tying you up. Not a nice person!"
The little junior sister lowered her head resentfully: "I'm sorry, I have troubled you."
The Suxin Sect is well-known, and it is very rare to be able to study there. It’s just that the children have gone, and she must also go, but the meditation can’t go. In this way, the family will be separated. This is not what she wants to see.
"Suxinzong... not bad." The little junior sister said cautiously.
Qiao Wei said calmly: "Of course I know it's not bad. If it's bad, will your senior brother go? Will His Highness the Ninth Prince go? Will the daughter of Nanchu Divine General's Mansion go?"
"Then what scruples do you have?" the little junior sister asked.
Qiao Wei took a sip of tea: "You don't understand even after I said it, it's getting late, you go back to the house and rest."
"oh."
The little junior sister put down the snack in her hand, got up silently and left.
Qiao Wei looked at Ming'an again: "What's delayed your master again? Why don't you come back so late?"
Ming An smiled sheepishly and said, "The official business has been dealt with cleanly, but the emperor called him away again, it seems that there is something important."
Qiao Wei nodded: "Understood, you should also step back."
"Yes, ma'am." Ming An withdrew.
Qiao Wei saw that the leader hadn't moved, so she couldn't help asking, "Are you still leaving?"
"Did you tell me to go?" the leader asked back.
Qiao Wei glanced at her eyes: "Everyone is gone, won't you go?"
"Don't go." The leader said humanely.
Qiao Wei looked at him and smiled slightly: "If you stay with me, aren't you afraid that your little friend will come to you again?"
The leader said disdainfully: "Cut! As if I want to see her!" Then he yawned, his eyes flickered and said, "I'm sleepy!"
Qiao Wei looked at him amusedly.
The leader walked out slowly, stepped over the threshold slowly, and then ran back to the house in a hurry with the wind on the soles of his feet.
Qiao Wei almost laughed out loud.
Xiao Baozi still didn't know that he was an exchange student, so he ate and took a bath happily, while turning somersaults on the bed, he asked his father why he didn't come back.
Look, such a sticky meditative practice, what if you go to the Suxin Sect
Qiao Wei stuffed the two little buns into the bed, tucked in the corners of the quilt for the two of them, and walked out gently.
At four o'clock in Haishi, Ji Mingxiu still hadn't returned home.
Bored, Qiao Wei took out a half-embroidered purse and embroidered it with needles and threads. Suddenly, somehow, the needle stuck into her finger. She wiped the blood from her fingertips and put the purse back into the embroidery basket.
After half an hour passed, Qiao Wei yawned.
Bi'er pushed the door open and entered: "Ma'am, do you want some supper? I'll let the kitchen cook some porridge."
Qiao Wei touched her stomach: "Come on, I'm a little hungry."
"What's wrong with your hand?" Bi'er's eyes fell on Qiao Wei's slightly red fingertips.
Qiao Wei didn't care and said: "I accidentally pricked it, it's fine."
Bi'er muttered: "Madam, don't be a female celebrity in the future, she is not made to be a female celebrity in the first place."
Qiao Wei smiled and said, "At any rate, I also made a few sets of clothes for Jing Yun and Wang Shu."
Billy smiled and backed away.
Qiao Wei supported her head with one hand, and sighed faintly: "My heart...why is it so unreliable?"
"Ma'am!" Bi'er walked in.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Wei asked.
Bi'er whispered: "The peach branch from Sifang is here."
Isn't Taozhi Ji Shuang's personal maid? What is she here for
Qiao Wei nodded: "Let her in."
Taozhi was led in by Bi'er, Qiao Wei sat upright, looked at her lightly and said, "Is it because my aunt's condition is not good for coming to see me so late?"
Tao Zhi hurriedly said: "No, Young Madam, Madam is awake."
Qiao Wei was slightly surprised: "Oh? Woke up? Can you talk? Do you remember the past?"
"I can talk, and I remember everything. Everything is fine." It's just that the mood is not too high, so Taozhi didn't say anything.
Qiao Wei was about to get up: "I'll go and see her."
Tao Zhi stopped Qiao Wei and said: "Madam said, she doesn't want to see anyone now, she asked her servant to come to you because she has something for you."
Qiao Wei sat back on the chair.
Tao Zhi took out a brocade box from her wide sleeve and handed it to Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei opened the brocade box, glanced at it, closed it with a click, and asked coldly, "Whose is it?"
Taozhi said: "It belongs to my uncle. Madam found it in my cupboard. Madam didn't know what it was, but Madam said it might be useful to young master and young madam."
After receiving two arrows, he finally grew his brain.
Qiao Wei said seriously: "I see, you thanked aunt for me."
Tao Zhi bowed her body: "Your maidservant will leave."
Qiao Wei looked at the door and said, "Bi'er, send Miss Taozhi."
Bi Er sent Tao Zhi out.
Qiao Wei closed the door, bolted it, walked to the bed, opened the cabinet, took out a token, opened the box Taozhi sent, and took out the token inside.
exactly the same.
How did that happen
Why did Qin Bingyu have two tokens of the Changfengshi in his hand? Could it be that he lost one in the early years and his superiors gave him another one
However, looking at the fineness and newness of these two tokens, they seem to have been made in the same year. Qin Bingyu couldn't know in advance that he would lose them, so he got a spare.
No, it's impossible.
But if this is not the case, then only one token belongs to Qin Bingyu.
What Taozhi sent was undoubtedly Qin Bingyu's.
So what about the piece that Princess Zhaoming gave to Ji Shangqing before she died? Whose token is this
Bi'er sent the peach branch out, turned back to look at Qiao Wei, just pushed the door, Qiao Wei rushed out from inside, Bi'er was startled: "Ma'am!"
Qiao Wei said calmly, "I'll go out for a while."
Bi'er wondered, "Where are you going so late?"
"Tongyuan."
…
In Tongyuan, Ji Shangqing had already rested, but Qiao Wei said something important, so Ji Shangqing got up and met Qiao Wei in the study.
Qiao Wei didn't go around in circles with him, and put two tokens on the table: "Father, can you recognize which token was given to you by the princess?"
Ji Shangqing opened the token and looked at it, pointed to the token on the left and said, "This one."
Qiao Wei was confused: "How did you recognize it?"
Ji Shangqing smiled and said, "There is a cinnabar mark on the back of this piece."
Qiao Wei turned over and took a look, really, what did she think of, she asked again: "Father, have you seen this token before? Or did you see it for the first time when the princess gave it to you?"
Ji Shangqing thought for a while and said, "I've seen her a few times before... But she didn't seem to let me know, so I didn't ask any more."
Qiao Wei's eyes moved: "Then... does the emperor know this token?"
Ji Shangqing was thoughtful: "I'm not sure about this... Wait, he should have seen that when Zhaoming was moving out from the palace, the token box was accidentally dropped on the ground, and the emperor picked it up and returned it to Zhaoming. Yes, at that time the emperor asked Zhaoming what it was? Zhaoming smiled and said that the antiques were picked out by the people, and the emperor laughed at her for not being appreciative, so he returned them to her.”
Qiao Wei's face changed.
Ji Shangqing asked: "What's the matter with you? By the way, why do you have two Changfeng Tokens in your hand?"
Qiao Wei didn't answer him, but frowned and murmured: "If the emperor has seen this token, wouldn't he have recognized it when Mingxiu gave it to him?"
"What did you say?" Ji Shangqing asked.
Qiao Wei picked up the token with cinnabar mark: "Father, this long wind token belongs to the princess herself."
"What is the princess's own thing?" Ji Shangqing was even more puzzled.
Qiao Wei said in a low voice: "Princess, she...is also a Changfengshi."
Ji Shangqing was stunned.
…
The palace is dark at night.
The gazebo in the imperial garden became a bit cooler. Eunuch Fu put a silver fox cloak on the emperor, removed the cold wine and replaced it with a pot of hot one.
The emperor dropped a sunspot: "I didn't accompany you to finish the game last time, this time I will accompany you to kill a few rounds."
Ji Mingxiu said calmly: "It's late at night, the emperor doesn't have to force it."
The emperor opened his eyes drunkenly: "How can you be reluctant? You are my cousin, and it's too late for me to like you."
Ji Mingxiu looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, you drank too much."
The emperor smiled lightly: "I am very awake."
Ji Mingxiu didn't speak any more. He didn't hold a lot of alcohol, and he rarely drank alcohol. He only drank the tea at hand.
The emperor drank a few more gulps of strong wine: "I suddenly thought of your mother. Your mother is a good drinker, better than mine. I can't drink him every time. I was just thinking, she is a girl, how can she be better than me?" This... this big man can still drink?"
Ji Mingxiu lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Xiaowei is also good at drinking."
"Miss your daughter-in-law?" the emperor asked drunkenly.
Ji Mingxiu couldn't deny it.
The emperor laughed drunkenly: "Zhen... I really love your mother."
Ji Mingxiu said with a clear expression, "Mother also respects you very much."
"Of course she respects me, and it was I who raised her up! The first emperor was away fighting, and when he came back, he gave me a child, saying that this is your aunt, so you can give birth to it! I am almost twenty, and I still have to take care of a baby." Call me aunt...I coax her...call me big brother!" The emperor laughed cheerfully, his shoulders trembling, "I take her with me to school, to meals, and to sleep, Do you know why I didn't have any children in those years? It's all your mother's fault... It's cold, 'I want to sleep with my brother', it's hot, 'I want to sleep with my brother', and it thunders, 'I want to sleep with my brother' "Brother is sleeping", there is nothing wrong, or "I want to sleep with my brother"... I can't even drive away!"
Ji Mingxiu listened quietly.
"Zhen Zhaoming is dead..." the emperor held back his smile, beating his heart, his eye circles were slightly red.
The emperor went drunk again for a while, but Ji Mingxiu didn't bother him, and he responded when he needed to.
I don’t know how long this state lasted. After three pots of hot wine were removed from the table, the emperor finally calmed down. He wiped the water from his face, looked at Ji Mingxiu and said, “The country of Daliang has come. It is not easy, and it is even more difficult to keep it. When the first emperor was in power, he fought for years and the people were in dire straits. Before he died, he finally gave me a peaceful and prosperous life. Flowing water. Yeluo is my biggest threat."
Ji Mingxiu said calmly, "What does the emperor want me to do?"
The emperor said: "Eliminate Yeluo, leave no one behind."
Ji Mingxiu looked at him intently, and he also looked at Ji Mingxiu without hesitation. There was deep meaning in the eyes of both of them. Ji Mingxiu said: "The minister leads the decree."
The emperor smiled: "I have prepared a jug of good wine for you, Fu Gonggong, bring me my flower carvings!"
Eunuch Fu came over with a fancy flagon, put the flagon by the emperor's hand, and retreated tactfully.
The emperor poured a glass of wine for himself, pressed the lid of the pot, got up and poured another glass for Ji Mingxiu: "The Huadiao brewed in this house is the best. Your mother loved drinking it when she was alive. Use it to practice for you. I want to come to you Mother won't blame me."
…
The Ji family's carriage arrived at the palace, and Qiao Wei jumped off the carriage.
The guard stepped forward vigilantly: "Who is here?"
Qiao Wei said seriously: "I am the prime minister's wife, I want to see the prime minister!"
The guard asked: "Is there an imperial decree?"
Qiao Wei shook her head: "No."
The guard waved his hand and said, "No decree? Then you should wait here, the prime minister was called to drink by the emperor!"
Qiao Wei frowned slightly and said, "Can you pass it on for me? I have something very important to tell the prime minister."
The guard sighed: "It's not that I won't help you, it's the emperor's order that no one should be disturbed. It's useless for me to pass it on to you, it won't reach the emperor's ears."
…
The emperor picked up the wine glass and said with a half-smile: "Yeluo is born to be charming, which means that everyone in Yeluo is extremely beautiful. I often think, no matter how beautiful, can your mother be as beautiful?"
Ji Mingxiu also raised his wine glass.
The emperor smiled and drank the wine in his glass.
The emperor pressed his wrist: "Are you not afraid that I will poison you?"
Ji Mingxiu said calmly, "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."
After all, he drank it without hesitation.
