"Hello, aunt." Min'er and others also hurried forward to salute. Siqi also saluted and said, "I've met my aunt."
"It's good for you. It's good for you too Si Qi." Yunlan agreed, and then said to Yunxi: "Brother, how can you bring them out of the palace in such a hot day? What if there is a heat stroke?"
"No, it just rained this morning. Although it's hot again, it's still a little cooler than usual. They usually walk to the palace to go to school, so it won't even be this hot.
I can't stand it." Yunxi laughed.
"Brother Imperial, you are always too strict with your children. Wenyuan Wenqi is only eight years old this year, Min'er and Wenyao are only ten years old, and Siqi is only eleven years old this year. They are still just children. Don't treat them badly.
It's too harsh." Yunlan said.
"I know, brother will relax his requirements on them." Yunxi replied.
Yunlan glanced at him in surprise. Although Yunxi would talk nonsense and joke on weekdays, they were all lies that could be distinguished at once. He had never joked about serious matters before, so he agreed to herself so easily. What on earth was it?
True or false?
However, she did not ask any questions, but said: "Look sister, let the imperial brother and nephew talk under such a bright sun. Min'er, quickly bring your brother and Siqi to your aunt's side."
Afterwards, she asked the maids to pick up the children and put them on the pedestal, and then asked the eunuchs to build a canopy to protect them from the sun.
She asked Yunxi to sit on the bus again. "No, brother, just walk over. It's just a few steps." Yunxi refused. Seeing this, Yunlan did not insist, but also let the eunuch beat him behind him.
A canopy was raised to block the sun.
"Isn't Yang Feng at home now?" Yunxi asked while walking beside Yunlan's steps.
"Brother Emperor, today is not a holiday. How can he be at home? If he were at home, Brother Emperor would probably blame him for being late and leaving early. And if he was at home, of course he would come out to greet Brother Emperor."
"But it's not that far away from the time when I'm going to be on duty again. If Brother Huang has anything to say to him, he should be back in a while," Yun Lan replied.
"You may have misunderstood my brother this time. He didn't have anything to tell him, he just asked him casually." Yunxi smiled and said, "But since Zhang Shu returned to Beijing, his courage has indeed become much lighter, and he can do everything
It’s worth the time.”
"This is natural. Originally, my husband had the errands of both the commander of the capital and the commander of the capital, but the Marquis of Huining (who succeeded Zhang Shu after Zhang Wen's death) only took care of the errands of one person after he returned to the capital. It was natural for him to be relaxed.
"Yunlan laughed when she thought of this. She was not only laughing because of this, but because Yang Feng came home on time these days after going on duty, and was very concerned about herself. Although he was a princess because of his consort, his status was different.
Well, most people have to pretend to care even if they are pretending, but she can still tell if they are really sincere or just pretending.
‘It seems that Yang Feng is really good to her,’ Yunxi also thought to himself: ‘It’s not in vain that I value him so much.’ His sister lived a happy life, and he was also very happy.
But then he thought of something and felt uneasy again. However, he turned his head and saw Yunlan was so happy, and swallowed the words that came to his lips. 'Let's talk about it after she gives birth to the baby.'
At this time, they had already reached the main hall of the backyard. Yunlan got down from the door and ordered her servants to open all the windows. She also ordered several eunuchs to shake the fans. She smiled at Yunxi and said, "My sister is pregnant and cannot bear the cold."
, I have no choice but to let my brother and nephew suffer the heat together with my sister."
"You are still saying such things to your brother!" Yunxi feigned anger. Yunlan knew he was joking and hurriedly saluted and apologized.
The two brothers and sisters joked for a while and sat down respectively. Yunxi came to Yunlan's mansion today for nothing. He just came to see her, so the two brothers and sisters started chatting.
They chatted for a while and then talked about the education of their children. "Brother Emperor, when my sister's child is born, if it is a boy, can my sister send him to the Royal Academy to study?"
"Why do you want to be sent to the Royal Academy to study?" Yunxi asked.
"Brother Imperial, what many teachers nowadays teach is nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics. The Four Books and Five Classics are excellent for cultivating one's moral character. The imperial examinations must also be taken, but my sister's children will not need to take the imperial examinations in the future, they will also have to do it.
To be honest, although there is a saying that half of the Analects of Confucius rules the world, my sister feels that she is not a very smart person. Yang Feng first became a guard and later became a knight for military merit. Unlike a particularly smart person, my sister's children should not become
For people like Zhao Pu in the Song Dynasty, it is of little use to only study the Four Books and Five Classics."
"In the whole world, only the schools opened by the emperor's brothers teach other knowledge. For example, the imperial school teaches how to govern the country, cultivate one's moral character, lead troops to fight, ride horses and archery, the Imperial Academy teaches how to be an official, and the Martial Arts School teaches how to be a general.
For Shuai, my sister can’t see the use of what the newly established Five City Academy teaches students, but she believes that the emperor will not randomly set up courses, and it will definitely be useful. So my sister wants her children to study at the Royal Academy in the future.
.”
"If the child is a girl, she will naturally be sent to a girls' school."
"But, Yunlan, I don't know about your sister-in-law or Yun Yun. Yun Zhi has told you that my brother has sent many of the Royal Academy's clan children who are over thirteen years old to study at the Five City Academy, because the Royal Academy will teach
They are all people who will become the king of a country, and your son may guard a place in the future, but he will not be the king of a country."
"The third and fourth younger sisters later told their younger sisters what the emperor said to them that day. The younger sisters understood what the emperor meant. However, the Five City Academy requires only those who are twelve years old or older to enroll, but study cannot be started from the age of ten.
Starting at the age of two. Only the royal family members who study in the Royal Academy are under the age of twelve. So my sister wants to send the child to the Royal Academy."
"To tell you the truth, my brother plans to change the academic system of the Royal Academy. After all, seven or eight years old is still too young. It would be okay if they were princes in the capital. Sons of vassal princes who were granted titles to the frontiers would have their sons leave their parents and come to the capital to study at the age of seven or eight. Brother
I can’t bear it.”
"Also, children under the age of ten may not be able to understand the words in books. Since there is no need to take the imperial examination, studying in the school is of little use. There is nothing wrong with playing at home for two more years."
"So my brother plans to raise the age at which he can start studying at the Royal Academy. The son of the feudal prince will not come to the capital until he is eleven years old. He will first adapt to the environment of the capital for a year, and then he will not start studying at the imperial academy until he is twelve years old."
"This year, children over the age of seven will not be allowed to study in Beijing. My brother plans to do the same in the next few years until the youngest clan members studying in the Royal Academy are eleven years old." (To be continued)
