Chapter 7 The Ugly Duckling
In 1218 AD, the eleventh year of Jiading in the Song Dynasty, Yang Kang stayed in Shaoxing Prefecture for more than half a month and then left. During this period, he had several small gatherings with his classmates who had studied in Shaoxing Prefecture, and recovered with his family's children.
In his normal state, he maintained a close relationship with his mother Quan Shi and his younger brother, leaving his new image in the memories of everyone in Shaoxing Prefecture.
This is undoubtedly a successful transformation. His Majesty the Emperor has finally been promoted from the idol school to the acting school.
After arriving at Lin'an Mansion, Taixue had not yet started school. Yang Kang submitted an application to Xuezheng, who was in charge of academic regulations, in the name of study tour. After getting approval, he headed towards Baoying Prefecture to visit Bao Xiruo and Mu Nian.
Ci, half a year is not a long time or a short time. Although the news that he is still alive has been passed on to the past, we still have to meet him to appease the girl's mood. Maybe when he becomes the emperor of Song Dynasty,
Mu Nianci can be brought into the palace.
In a house in Baoyingzhou, three girls were knitting knitted needlework together, gossiping to each other, and laughing like silver bells from time to time. A beautiful woman was packing up sundries in the house. This was a pawn shop guard.
The courtyard was Yang Mu's home. Because he had contributed so much in the defense of Baoying a year ago, Jia She, the magistrate of Baoying County, specially allocated this courtyard and gave it to Yang Mu.
Jia She originally wanted to promote this warrior, but he did not want to be tactfully rejected by Yang Mu. Magistrate Jia knew that people have their own ambitions and should not force it, so he did not force it. He just became closer to Yang Mu. The two families often communicated with each other.
Among the three girls in the courtyard at that time was Jia She's daughter Jia Yuanchun, the other two girls were Yang Mu's adopted daughter Mu Nianci and the eldest daughter of the Cheng family Cheng Yaojia.
After Mu Nianci left Kaifeng Imperial City, she came to live with Baoying and her adoptive father and mother. Half a year later, she received the news that Akang was still alive, but she didn't know where he was. She was unavoidably worried in her heart. The girl was joking with her little sister.
As she stood, she looked up and saw a paper kite flying in the sky outside the yard. She stood up quietly and found an excuse to leave the yard.
Not far outside the courtyard, there was a girl who was happily flying kites. Mu Nianci walked towards the girl. That girl was Abi who was arranged by His Majesty the Emperor in Baoying. Abi's task was to protect Bao Xiruo.
We must also be careful to see if anyone comes to investigate Bao Xiruo's background. Once we find that someone is investigating, we must move Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiruo to other places as soon as possible.
Mu Nianci walked past Abi. Back in the palace of Prince Ying in Chang'an City, Mu Nianci and these three girls were trained by Mei Chaofeng together and were very familiar with them. However, Abi had her own mission, and they only
Being able to pretend not to know each other, when the two of them crossed paths, Abi mentioned a place outside Baoying City.
On the second day, Mu Nianci and Bao Xiruo left the city and went to a temple outside the city to burn incense and pray for blessings.
In the Taixue of Lin'an Prefecture, Xie Yili and his younger sister Xie Daoqing entered the house. Xie Daoqing was dressed as a scholar. Taixue stipulates that students cannot bring maids, but they can bring a scholar. After all, entering Taixue belongs to the Confucian class, such as washing and grinding.
It would be too shameful to do the chores yourself, so students with a little wealth would bring a book boy with them.
Xie Yili didn't have the resources at home, Yang Kang was afraid of being discovered, and neither of them had a scholar.
The Taixue School of the Song Dynasty was about to start. His Majesty the Emperor finally returned from his study tour, sold his leave to Xue Zheng, and began a normal study life. However, he was surprised to find that there was a little book boy beside Xie Yili. Xie Yili was the target of Yang Kang's training. His Majesty the Emperor changed his famous
As for his strategy, he thought it would be better to keep a low profile so as not to become the focus of attention. He wanted to become Xie Yili's shadow. As long as this Xie family member climbed up to Shi Miyuan and Empress Yang, he would have a chance to become the heir to the throne.
But this little book boy...
His Majesty the Emperor is very suspicious of Xie Yili's aesthetic sense. The other students' bookboys are all smart and cute, but this little bookboy is a bit dull. Let's forget about being dull. This little bookboy's appearance is also very unusual. His skin is dark, as if he has been smeared with paint.
There is a layer of dust on the bottom of the pot, and the eyes are still
There is a problem. According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is called Yunyi. This is a sequelae caused by corneal disease. There is a layer of white spots in the middle of the eyes, making it look like a blind person. This disease can cause astigmatism and decreased vision. I really don’t know what Xie Yili is.
Got it from there.
Yang Kang also noticed that the book boy often looked at him, but it might be an illusion. The book boy's eyes are astigmatistic. You think he is looking at you, but in fact he is looking elsewhere. If you think he is looking elsewhere, maybe
He is looking at you, and even His Majesty the Emperor, who is a master of martial arts, has a hard time making a judgment.
This is not Xie Daoqing's disguise, but the real appearance. Xie Daoqing has had dark skin and diseased eyes since she was a child. She is a famous ugly girl in the village. Because her family background is not good, she has no money to treat the disease, and she has to *
*Does housework, and the little sisters in the same village don't want to be with her. This results in her dull personality, and she always does things half a beat slower than others.
However, God is fair. He did not give her beauty, but gave her a smart mind and a beautiful heart. After all, the Xie family comes from a famous family. Xie Daoqing has been fond of reading since she was a child. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as a nerd. She has always been a nerd.
I learned many principles from the book and formed my own values and worldview.
His Majesty the Emperor's guess was correct, Xie Daoqing was observing him.
The girl learned about Zhao Yuju's family background from her second brother Xie Yili. He was a descendant of a down-and-out royal family, living a life no different from that of a commoner. However, what she observed carefully was that the situation was different. This Zhao Yuju was very different in his speech and behavior.
The details of daily life reveal a noble temperament everywhere.
This kind of temperament is revealed naturally. It can only be possessed by dignitaries who have lived a life of fine clothes and fine food all year round. It can never be faked. When Zhao and Ju were alone, Xie Daoqing looked from a distance. The descendant of the royal family gave
The feeling of being superior, as if one could order the killing of tens of millions of people at any time, is the aura only an emperor or commander can have.
The girl was very puzzled. How could a down-and-out royal descendant have such a powerful and domineering aura? Could it be related to Zhao Yuju's royal bloodline, or could this person be the legendary true dragon emperor with true dragon protection, or maybe
This person is no longer Zhao Yuju...
Xie Daoqing analyzed various clues. The student named Zhao Yuju naturally wrote a poem to win the attention of the academic officials. However, he did not expect that his second brother Xie Yili stole it. If it were an ordinary student, he would probably cause trouble in the academy.
They went to the official to seek justice, but not only did Zhao and Ju not have sex, they also took the initiative to help their second brother, which was weird.
This Zhao Yuju must have a huge plan and wants to take advantage of the Xie family's reputation. Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but feel frightened. Zhao Yuju is a descendant of the royal family. What he wants to plan cannot be...
The throne of Song Dynasty!
The girl calmed down. This was just her random guess. She couldn't make any calculations. She went to such an extreme level because she was worried about her brother's safety. Maybe Zhao Yuju didn't have such a big conspiracy, but she was too worried.
However, a thought arose in her mind and she couldn't get rid of it.
