Chapter 113 Needle not poked (seeking monthly ticket)(1/2)
In the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Yongxing looked at the paper presented by the cabinet, which described various matters regarding donations, including but not limited to how to promote donations, formulate standards, liquidate the property of officials who claimed to have a good reputation, etc.
I wrote more than a thousand words eloquently.
Reviewing papers is no easier than reading a book, because there are "traps" hidden in the papers submitted by many ministers.
If he does not want to be played like a monkey by the civil servants, the emperor must be keenly aware of the traps in the book.
In this regard, no one can help, because after sitting on this throne, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are enemies.
Emperor Yongxing's promotion of donations was for disaster relief, and he couldn't make any mistakes at this juncture, so he took it very seriously.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, the eunuch Zhao Xuanzhen hurriedly entered the imperial study and whispered:
"The master is ill."
Emperor Yongxing looked away from the fold, pinched his eyebrows, and then asked:
"Sick? Alas, Tai Tu is old and shouldn't be so tired. Go to the Royal Pharmacy to get some pills that can replenish qi and activate blood and send them to Tai Tu."
Zhao Xuanzhen agreed, but did not leave, and continued:
"The Grand Tutor said that he would resign from his position and would no longer teach the young masters. Please, Your Majesty, find another job..
"He is going to the Xu Mansion to be a teacher and teach the concubines of the Hanlin Academy, Xu New Year's younger sister."
Huh? Emperor Yongxing was shocked and confused.
Zhao Xuanzhen, the eunuch who held the seal, said:
"What the Tutor means is that he must educate the child wholeheartedly without any distractions. I hope Your Majesty can understand."
Emperor Yongxing showed a solemn expression, leaned forward slightly, and asked in surprise:
"That child has extraordinary talents and outstanding intelligence, which made the Taifu love talents?
"It's interesting. Even Huaiqing back then was never treated like this by the Taifu. Tsk tsk, you said that the Xu family is really full of heroes. There was Xu Qian in front of him and Xu Cijiu in the back. I didn't expect that a little girl was not
Things in the pool.”
After saying that, he saw Zhao Xuanzhen's face was stiff and he didn't know how to explain it.
"Huh?" Emperor Yongxing expressed his doubts with a nasal voice.
"Your Majesty doesn't know something. The Tutor is angry..."
Zhao Xuanzhen whispered what happened in the study room and relayed it to Emperor Yongxing.
..... Emperor Yongxing did not speak for a long time and fell into deep self-blame.
After a while, he said: "Send the baby girl back to the Xu Mansion. I will write a note to appease the Taifu. During this period, do not let the Taifu leave the palace. Take good care of her."
Zhao Xuanzhen responded and whispered:
"You can keep it for a while, but you can't keep anything."
Emperor Yongxing was silent for a long time and said slowly:
"I will issue an order to the Xu family, prohibiting them from letting the master come to their door."
After sending Zhao Xuanzhen away, Emperor Yongxing took a sip of ginseng tea, recalled what the eunuch had just said, and said repeatedly:
"Incredible, incredible.
"I don't believe there is such a fool in the world. I have time to test it myself."
............
The wheels rattled and stopped at Xu Mansion. Little Douding jumped out of the carriage with a small cloth bag on his back.
The small cloth bag was bulging and seemed to be full of things.
This is a pastry she begged from Huaiqing.
Xu New Year then jumped off the carriage and walked towards the house expressionlessly.
Xiao Douding put his hands on both sides of his lower back, lowered his head, and rushed into the house. He tripped at the door and fell to the ground.
"Second brother, I fell."
She raised her face and looked at Xu New Year.
Xu Erlang's handsome face twitched, "Then?"
She patted her butt and stood up, protecting the pastries in the small cloth bag and looking at Xu Erlang cautiously.
?Xu Erlang frowned and looked at her.
Xiao Douding looked at his second brother carefully, and suddenly ran away in fear.
Xu Erlang was stunned for a long time before he realized that he didn't give Suzin a good look on the way. His stupid sister thought he was coveting the cakes.
The evidence is that she did not help her after she fell.
All the way into the inner courtyard, I saw the mother and daughter looking at each other with big eyes.
The aunt said angrily: "Why is she back? Was she kicked out of the palace again?"
Xu Erlang nodded.
"you......."
Auntie's chest heaved violently with anger, and she gritted her teeth: "What's going on?"
Xu Erlang said helplessly:
"Lingyin has made Tai Tu very angry. Oh, tomorrow, her name will be spread throughout the official circles and scholars.
"All scholars will know that the Taifu, who was rich in learning and one of the most prestigious scholars, was actually bedridden by a childish child."
Auntie's body swayed and she thought of many things in an instant. Her face turned pale and she said:
"How will Suzune get married in the future?"
Xu Erlang also laughed angrily and complained:
"It's not all my fault, mother. Lingyin is not a good student, but you are unwilling to give in. You want her to learn how to read and become a talented girl."
Auntie felt sad and blamed the second uncle:
"Look at how stupid she is. She followed your father. If she had followed me, she would already be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting at such a young age."
"I'm studying hard."
Suzuyin said aggrievedly while eating the palace's delicious pastries.
Xu Erlang pinched his eyebrows. He was worried about another thing. After this matter spread, Lingyin might become a favorite in the eyes of some people who want to make a name for themselves.
As a scholar of the Imperial College, the Taifu cultivated a great and upright spirit and held a leader-like position in the literary world.
If a child who cannot even be enlightened by a tutor is successfully enlightened by someone, wouldn't he become famous all over the world in one fell swoop?
No one would think that they can't handle a child until they have actually seen Ringtone. Then there will be a huge crowd of visitors.
"You can be stupid enough to be famous in the capital. What are these things..."
Xu Erlang pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
...........
Early next morning.
Li Lingsu came to knock on the door. With the sound of the wooden bolt being opened, the door opened. He looked inside and saw Xu Qian standing by the window drinking tea. Mu Nanzhi was sitting at the table, controlling the little white fox and holding a stick.
Boar bristle toothbrush to brush its teeth.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The little white fox made a painful sound and kicked its limbs from time to time.
"Don't move, brush your teeth well, otherwise your mouth will stink."
Munan Zhi said.
"I don't stink...wuwu..."
The little white fox made a habitual protest, as if he was used to this kind of thing and didn't resist very hard.
This is like raising a daughter...Li Lingsu sighed in her heart and said:
"Senior Xu, the guys are preparing breakfast downstairs."
His call of "Senior Xu" was not as sincere as before.
The little white fox took the opportunity to get away from Munan Zhi and shouted: "I'm hungry, I'm hungry!"
As he spoke, he spit out foam.
The group of people went downstairs and saw Miao Youfang already sitting at the table, eating his own breakfast.
One bowl of white porridge, three meat buns, two steamed buns, and a stack of pickles per person.
Shengyi County is not rich, there is a shortage of supplies, and the people are in a state of hunger.
