When nearly a hundred dandies were fist-fighting each other in the corner of Tiewangshan Camp, Shengjia had just left the capital.
Emperor Xiaode rode in a luxurious carriage drawn by sixteen pure white horses, and was accompanied by eunuchs and maidens walking slowly around him.
The Royal Horse Guards and Royal Forest Army were arranged organically to protect the Holy Driver in secret.
The accompanying civil and military officials, some on horseback and some in sedan chairs, were accompanied by servants who followed from a distance.
A pigeon swooped down from the clouds and landed lightly on the carriage of the Holy Driver. Immediately, a man stretched out his hand from the carriage and took the pigeon inside.
Emperor Xiaode was reviewing memorials in the carriage.
Ordinary people are not qualified to enter this carriage.
But no matter who comes in for the first time, they will be amazed at the vastness inside.
The interior of the carriage is two feet and a half long and one and a half feet wide. It is divided into two parts: a reception room and a bedroom. The reception room is used for reviewing memorials and meeting with ministers, while the bedroom is used for daily rest.
In addition, considering the emperor's hard journey, there were viewing corridors on both sides of the carriage to ensure that Emperor Xiaode could lean on the railings and overlook the distance after work. If he was interested, he could also write two poems.
Some people said privately that the size of this carriage has exceeded the large sedan chair of Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty that could be carried by thirty-two people.
Of course, no one can tell what the emperor was doing when he was traveling or doing business in such a carriage.
After all, Wei Zheng lived in the Tang Dynasty.
Although the officials in this dynasty are domineering, their imperial power is stable, so they are naturally not as arrogant as those in the previous Ming Dynasty.
At this time, in the carriage, Emperor Xiaode put down the memorial, glanced at the man holding the carrier pigeon, and asked: "What's the matter?"
The man bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, within the Tienwang Mountain camp, a group of Yamen were punching each other and fighting with great joy. None of the surrounding soldiers dared to dissuade them. However, the king ordered his eunuchs to shoot bows and arrows.
He hit Liu Chuan, the eldest son of Baron Guang'en, on the buttocks, and as a result, a group of government officials immediately stopped."
"Haha." Emperor Xiaode sneered and shook his head, his eyes full of contempt for the officials.
When they were fighting in the military camp, they thought they were bold masters. Unexpectedly, when they met the royal family and princes, they all fell to pieces.
It turns out that he is a bully and fears the strong.
"King Zhi is the eldest son of the eldest brother. He has always set his sights high and has a rough and generous personality. Only a guy like this can restrain these small government officials who know the sky is the limit."
Emperor Xiaode sneered and didn't take this matter to heart.
It turns out that Prince Nao is the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor, the son of Prince Naozhong, the eldest brother of Emperor Xiaode. Prince Naozhong followed the Supreme Emperor in the Northern and Southern Wars and made many military exploits. However, he claimed that he wanted to be a good king. Every time he returned to the capital, he would thank guests behind closed doors and not involve the emperor's position.
Struggle, and even vaguely intended to help Emperor Xiaode.
After his death five years ago, the eldest son was granted the title of Prince Zhi. He was quite famous among the clan and was known as "Hong Kong is not stingy".
Because he was the eldest son and grandson of the Supreme Emperor, there were some people who were stupid at reading and paid homage to him when they saw him.
Emperor Xiaode also treated him very favorably for his father's sake.
So when I heard that it was this person who stopped the melee in the office, I made a few comments, but I didn't take it to heart.
The emperor would not even pay attention to the fight between a group of children.
But in the blink of an eye, another flying pigeon came in.
"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei commander Lin Zhao led a hundred elite soldiers to capture and bring to justice the eunuchs under King Zhi, claiming to punish them severely." The man reported with a strange look on his face.
"What? Lin Zhao? What kind of trouble is he causing?" Emperor Xiaode was startled and felt strange.
…
Rongguo Mansion, in Jia Mu's room.
Grandma Rong made a great ceremony and talked eloquently:
"Old slave, I would like to send my greetings to all the ladies and girls. I have been rewarded by the Empress. I am the fourth-rank female officer of Kunning Palace. Together with Ms. Li, I am responsible for the daily upbringing of the Lord of Lang County. Today, Miss Shi's words are very inappropriate for the old slave.
, there are the following four reasons.”
"At this level, a woman's lack of talent is a sign of virtue. This is what Chen Meigong, a great scholar of the previous dynasty, said, citing the teachings of his elders. The full text is: 'A woman who is literate and able to understand the righteousness is certainly virtuous, but it is rare; others are happy. Reading novels, stimulating evil intentions, or even doing literary tricks and doing innocent things is worse than being illiterate and staying contented.'"
"According to what Miss Shi just said, it was taken out of context. When Mr. Chen said that he had no talent, he meant 'it is something that is not there', but it is the great virtue of a person. Therefore, girls from aristocratic families must be able to read, be literate, and be sensible.
Housekeepers and directors must not be deceived by subordinates, and secondly, they may be short-sighted and ignorant of the law in the future, and do things that will harm future generations and lead to inheritance.”
"Though Miss Xue is from a business background, she is also well-educated and knowledgeable. Other girls are not as good as others. It can be seen that she has put in hard work in daily life. Even my uncle admires her very much. He often says that the county magistrate should think of all the talents he sees.
"
"Is this the third level? Although our county master doesn't care about it, only the relatives and seniority, and is commensurate with the girls and sisters, but our county master is the king, and the girls are ministers. Their identities are different, and the girls in our county have different identities.
Naturally, the main upbringing cannot be the same."
"On this last floor, Miss Shi is the daughter of a noble family, a serious official family. Forgive me for saying something unpleasant. Even if the rules are relaxed in a military general's family, it can't be too outrageous. Official
Young ladies and needlework maids have their own maids and servants to do it. Girls just do light things to honor their elders. How can they take it seriously? In ancient times, most talented women came from famous families. In the boudoir, girls still
The most important thing is to read, learn calligraphy and understand the truth. When socializing, you can enjoy flowers, discuss wine, recite poems, paint and play games. Even if you get married in the future, it will be more convenient for you to communicate with your husband, right?"
Having said this, Aunt Rong bowed respectfully and said: "The old slave has lived in the palace for half his life. Although he is often taught by the concubine and the empress, and although he has gained a little bit, in the end his knowledge is shallow and he only has a little knowledge.
Understand some of the etiquette in the palace, and if there is anything inappropriate, I hope you ladies and girls will not take it personally."
After saying this, Grandma Rong retreated behind Daiyu without saying a word, becoming like a puppet again.
But the four maids including Ling Ge and the second maids such as Xue Yan who were beside Daiyu all had bright eyes and looked at Grandma Rong with admiration.
I'm afraid that if no one was here, the maids would cheer for joy and shout that Aunt Rong is so wise and powerful.
When Grandma Rong finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.
In an instant, no one spoke, whether it was Jia Mu, Mrs. Shi, Sister Feng, Baochai or Tanchun who were good at talking.
Shi Xiangyun immediately turned red with anger.
Baochai was also slightly shocked, and her fair face turned slightly red.
She never expected that she had only exchanged one or two words with Lin Zhao, but she would actually become the one whom Daiyu admired in his eyes.
It is also in sharp contrast with Xiangyun.
I don't know whether I am happy or ashamed.
Tanchun's eyes quickly glanced at Baochai. Thinking of his identity and his own concerns, his eyes became a little sad, but then he raised his head again. Although his eyes were calm, there was a kind of stubbornness deep in them.
Both elders and young sisters are filled with envy in their hearts.
This girl Daiyu is really lucky to have such a nanny teaching her by her side.
Only with the guidance of an old man like Aunt Rong can one not be perverse or act biased, and can face everything more calmly.
Even Mrs. Jia, who is accustomed to seeing the world, knows how enviable it is to have someone like Aunt Rong who is not a servant.
Just based on what Aunt Rong said, Jia Mu had already concluded that the Lin family's girl was beyond the reach of her own precious jade.
