Chapter 45: He thought of the good knowledge about torturing little thieves
Grandma Li was somewhat satisfied with this gathering. She could not see the wilting appearance of the show girls. This gathering was very fast and they were in good spirits.
She gave a few words of approval with a straight face, then pointed out some areas that needed improvement, and then stood aside.
Aunt Tian stepped forward and kindly told the news that Li Ruoyi's family was in an emergency and Wang Shiyu was unwell and had to leave the palace early. She sighed with regret.
The nun in the palace is very capable of telling lies with her eyes open, and her words are full of care and regret. Lihua admires her secretly. If she didn't know the truth of the matter, she might have believed it.
After last night, Wang Shiyu did not return to Qunfang Hall, and arranged to rest in a certain hall for the night. At dawn, she was sent out of the palace together with her maid.
The reason for leaving the palace was the two beautiful girls who followed En's decree. Naturally, the palace was at loggerheads with the two families, and the Li and Wang families would not be stupid enough to sell themselves out.
Suddenly hearing the news of her departure from the palace, the round-faced ladies were shocked. After knowing that it was not a serious illness, they calmed down. They went to knock on Wang Shiyu's door, but did not hear a response. They thought they were still sad and did not want to come out.
When you see someone, come directly to gather.
The show girls felt that something was wrong, but they all spread the rumor publicly, and Granny Tian said it sincerely, so they believed it, and they all discussed it in low voices, and found out that the truth was like this.
Su Siru frowned and thought, could it be that she mistakenly blamed Big Brother Wu Li? She still felt that he was quite powerful.
Lihua lowered her eyes silently and did not participate in the discussion. The nuns represented the attitude of the Queen Mother. After listening for so long, she still was not sure why the nuns thought the two beautiful girls left the palace, and she could not really rest assured.
Next, Aunt Tian gave her cordial condolences, asking whether everyone was used to life in the palace, and how they felt. She talked a lot, but Lihua always felt that her words missed the point.
Sure enough, Aunt Tian changed the subject and introduced the general election. The chief of ceremonies was mainly responsible for teaching, while the rest of the palace staff were responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everyone in the palace performed their own duties.
"...If you encounter irrelevant people, don't pay attention to them. If you are in trouble, come to us. I am here to help you young masters at any time."
The beautiful ladies were confused when they heard this, they only knew that their nanny was caring about them, and they were extremely moved.
Lihua understood, however. This emergency meeting had three functions. One was to provide an official explanation of King Li's whereabouts and to appease people's hearts;
The second is to pay attention to the psychological state of the show girls and intervene in time if something goes wrong;
The third is to remind Xiu Nu to stay away from irrelevant people, except for the people with functions introduced by Granny Tian.
"Irrelevant person?" Lihua wondered secretly, and a thought came to her mind, could it be that she was referring to the little eunuch?
Before and after contacting her again, Lihua suddenly had a whimsical idea. Could it be that the little eunuch took the blame for her?
Ah this?
What does the little eunuch do? Lihua is curious.
Finally, Grandma Tian said some inspiring words, study hard and have a bright future, ending today's morning meeting.
The show girls felt as if they had been given a shot of blood, their blood boiled with excitement, and they were so excited that they wanted to take the lead and strive to the top.
When the meeting ended and she went to have breakfast, Lihua found that the little eunuch had not come. When class came, there was still no sign of the little eunuch. Usually, the little eunuch would appear on time after breakfast and before class.
Lihua confirmed that the irrelevant person refers to the little eunuch.
Then she didn't understand. What kind of little eunuch could take on such a big responsibility? Unless the master behind him was very capable, how could he be able to take it on?
Lihua felt a little embarrassed, hoping that what she was thinking was wrong, and silently prayed that the little eunuch would be fine.
It wasn't until a long time later that Lihua realized that the person who had shouldered the blame for her turned out to be...
No wonder she could carry such a dog to death, but she wasn't worried at all. She even felt that the pot was a bit too small.
The hours flew by.
The flower-viewing banquet was quickly arranged, and the concubines dressed up and went to the flower-viewing banquet one after another. The Queen Mother was gentle and had already sent a message, asking them to dress up well today and skip the greetings. Just see them at the flower-viewing banquet.
There were no major events in the court meeting today. They were just routine matters. Yuchi Gong didn't pay much attention to it. He just listened to the arguments at the top. When things were almost discussed, he counted the time and dismissed the court.
After the court, Yuchi Gong changed into his regular clothes and prepared to go to the flower viewing banquet. At the same time, he was thinking about what happened at the court meeting. The reaction of the people in the military department was as he expected, and there was nothing surprising.
However, one of the courtiers miscalculated a number, which caused an argument and made Yuchi Gong frown.
In this era, not everyone was proficient in arithmetic, and the imperial examinations were not repeated. It was a compulsory course for princes, but not for students all over the world. However, land measurement, calculation of barn volume, construction of dams and canals, taxation and other aspects were involved.
.
Therefore, the arithmetic abilities of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government are uneven. Daily addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculations are quite good. When encountering more advanced problems, personal abilities are very important.
The Ministry of Accounts often deals with arithmetic, and he is quite good at arithmetic, but when he saw the pile of messy accounts in the Ministry of War, his scalp became numb.
This is true for students and courtiers taking the imperial examinations. Women are far less proficient in arithmetic, and it is no big deal that they know how to plan and manage a housekeeper.
Yuchi Gong walked to the flower viewing banquet, still thinking about this problem.
As he walked, he stopped and thought of the little thief.
"Nowadays, all the beautiful ladies have learned is of little use..." Yu Chigong said to himself. He knew the rules and etiquette naturally, so why bother to learn them? Aren't the little thieves already aware of them?
Zhang Defa was stunned when he heard this. Only the emperor dared to say this. If someone else says that the handed down draft guidance is useless, your head will be screwed.
Yuchi Gong thought about it: "It's better to learn something else, lest there are too many fools..." He was looking for a legitimate way to torture the little thief.
Zhang Defa did not dare to answer these words. The fools in his words were all from the imperial harem. He had witnessed the emperor's comments with his own eyes over the years.
Yuchi Gong thought, I am afraid that the rules, etiquette, poems and songs can't stop the little thief, but what about this one?
He didn't believe that something that gave even the former ministers a headache would not cause a headache to a little thief!
Yuchi Gong consciously thought of a good idea and said with his hands, "That's it, it's very good!"
Zhang Defa saw that he was in a good mood and joined in: "Long live the wise Lord."
Yuchi Gong glanced at him and laughed and scolded: "You are a dog slave. You don't know anything, so you call me wise."
Zhang Defa smiled shyly: "Long live my grand strategy, I will always be wise."
Yuchi Gong didn't take his flattery seriously. How could people be wise all the time, even emperors, but they didn't bother to argue with him.
"I have thought of a good knowledge to teach beautiful girls." He smiled so intoxicatingly that the spring breeze was intoxicating, and told Zhang Defa: "Now you find someone to teach it, and ask the master of ceremonies to put aside the rules and etiquette. From today on, teach "
"Nine Chapters of Arithmetic."
He could already imagine the little thief frowning in pain, and he felt happy just thinking about it, so he added: "Let's start teaching now."
