"Well, then we will write to the second brother and the others, asking them to pay attention and see if they can leave a better yard in the suburbs or something. If it is possible, then we can live closer to each other and the two families can still live together.
Drop by."
The two began to think of a bright future.
After a while, the two discussed going to Prince Chong's Mansion to pay New Year greetings and Yao Anxin and her husband Huo Botao coming to visit.
In the former case, they are juniors in the capital and must pay tribute to their elders.
The latter, Yao Anxin is their daughter, and it is her first year after getting married, so she must be taken seriously.
After this, it was said that after the New Year, no matter what the results of the imperial examinations were for Yao Anhong and Yao Anyi, they would come to Beijing to study.
"The academy that Brother Hong is studying in was recommended by Prince Chong. Brother Hong is the legitimate son. Prince Chong recommended it because of the princess's face. But Brother Yi is a concubine. If Prince Chong wants to help, it is out of favor. If he doesn't want to
Help, that's our duty..." Mrs. Yao said, "We must be prepared with both hands when the time comes. If Prince Chong helps, just let Brother Yi follow Brother Hong; if Prince Chong doesn't mention it, we should also help.
Brother Yi will arrange a place to go."
"Indeed. I originally thought Brother Hong could get into the Imperial College, but I didn't expect Mr. Fu to be so pedantic and unkind." The fact that Yao Anhong didn't get into the Imperial College made Mr. Yao feel a little uncomfortable.
I feel like the dignified editor-in-chief of "Da Ming Daily" is actually such a waste!
Mrs. Yao didn't think so. If she didn't have a son, Yao Anhong would have entered the Imperial College just because she relied on Mr. Yao's reputation. But the problem is, she now has her own sons, or two.
Naturally, she doesn't want Uncle Yao to use his connections on Yao Anhong.
Even though Yao Anhong is the "eldest son" of the third generation, no matter how promising he is, he still lives in the second house, which is still far away from the first house.
If it were his own parent and child, the situation would be different.
"You can't blame others entirely. They are officials, and you are also an official. You all know that when someone asks you to do something, you have to follow the rules. Don't they know that? If others are willing to follow the rules, it shows that they respect the rules.
Man, if something happens in the future, you don’t have to worry about him stepping on you from behind."
"That's right." Compared with villains, you always feel more at ease when dealing with true gentlemen, Uncle Yao agreed.
Mrs. Yao continued to persuade: "I know you like Brother Hong, and think that Brother Hong is a man who can be made. He may be able to support the Yao family, but you can't put all your treasures on Brother Hong."
On the body. Brother Hong is still young, and no one knows what the future will be like. Moreover, Brother Hong has been in poor health since he was a child. If it hadn’t been for the princess’ intervention, no one would know what Brother Hong is like now. Now Brother Hong is finally in good health.
Well, now that he can study hard, just let him study hard and don’t put too much pressure on him... No matter how important reading is, it’s not as important as anyone else.”
She also reminded Uncle Yao that after all, Yao Anhong is also his nephew in the next room. He only wants Yao Anhong to have a great future, but Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao may not be willing to let Yao Anhong have health in exchange for his future.
Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao are the biological parents of Yao Anhong. What will happen to Yao Anhong in the future depends on what Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao think.
"No matter how anxious we are, the most important thing is what the second brother and his sisters think."
"I know..." Uncle Yao was a little frustrated. He really liked Yao Anhong. He knew how to read since he was a child. He was well-behaved and sensible, and he never let anyone worry about him.
Sometimes, he even thinks that it would be great if Yao Anhong was his son.
It's a pity that he is not as lucky as Mr. Yao.
Mrs. Yao put her hand on the back of Uncle Yao's hand and whispered softly: "Time flies very fast. Before, we were still worried about not having a son. We didn't expect that Brother Shou and Brother Kang would be enlightened in the blink of an eye.
Come on. Have you thought about how to enlighten them then?"
Uncle Yao was stunned for a moment: "...Yes, it's time for enlightenment..."
There is a feeling that children grow up really fast. If you don’t pay attention, it’s time for enlightenment.
He should really think carefully about how to enlighten his son.
…
It goes without saying that there are various entertainment activities during the Chinese New Year.
Gu Qingling came and went and met a lot of people, arranged according to their closeness and status, until the Lantern Festival.
There is no way, Li Wenchong is the younger brother of Emperor Mingguang. Regardless of his seniority or identity, he is very capable. How can any royal relative who wants to gain connections miss this opportunity?
They brought gifts of various sizes and came forward to pay their respects.
It doesn’t have to be something you want to ask for, it’s also good to have a familiar face. For example, Li Song was attracted by a familiar face, so he was attracted by Prince Chong, recommended him to the princess, and became a member of the Ming Investment Club.
principal?
Anyone with smarter ears and eyes will know what’s going on.
Li Wenchong also informed Gu Qingling in advance about the details of these people, telling her to know them well and not to be fooled by others casually.
In the royal family, those who are not shrewd enough generally become marginal figures.
Even so, the couple was invited into the palace by Emperor Mingguang and drank tea all afternoon.
After so much work, Gu Qingling finally found time to discuss with Mrs. Yao about Yao Anhong and Yao Anyi's study in Beijing.
The Shuxiangyuan is still under construction, but there is a separate courtyard in the original enclosure.
What Gu Qingling meant was that he wanted brothers Yao Anhong and Yao Anyi to go to Moxiang Villa to study.
"I have already written to the Yao Family Book School. A gentleman who was often used by Brother Hong and Brother Yi in the past will also come to Beijing. In addition, Wen Chong has also helped to invite several great scholars of the time." Gu Qingling said.
, "The princes will occasionally visit Moxiang Villa. It would be good for Brother Hong and Brother Yi to have the opportunity to get in touch with them."
Since he wanted to build an academy that would shock the Ming Dynasty, Gu Qingling certainly couldn't build it casually, and he must make preliminary preparations.
In addition to the buildings that Lou Qing is responsible for, his husband and students are also things that Gu Qingling needs to consider.
She plans to move over all the better things from Yao's Book School, and then make adjustments to absorb the content required for the current imperial examination, as well as the talents from all walks of life that the world will need in the future, and open many professional courses.
Yao Anhong and Yao Anyi took the imperial examination, so they naturally studied "World Governance". The princes, headed by Yao Jiuye and others, were all of different ages, and their teachers were responsible for the teaching, while she
What needs to be done is to broaden their horizons and thinking, so the subject should be "World Science", which specializes in the past and future of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the past and future of the world.
These include human geography and various miscellaneous subjects.
There is no need to be sophisticated, but you need to know the existence of these things. Only in this way, these young people will not be "surprised" when Gu Qingling opens various detailed departments to train professionals in various industries.
Young people are the future of Ming Dynasty.
As long as they can accept it, those "old antiques" will eventually be eliminated, and the technological seeds planted will be able to sprout.
