Ji Ling gave some more instructions to his son, but the sixth brother just listened silently.
Probably because it was the first time to say goodbye to E Niang, he listened for a long time without saying anything. Ji Ling saw that he was well-behaved and quiet, which made him even more distressed.
The third princess kept stroking her brother's head and interjecting from time to time, as if she wanted to say all the things she had not said on weekdays.
Finally, she ran back to the greenhouse, packed up some of her favorite Western gadgets, and took them out to her brother.
Brother Six opened the box and took a look, then shook his head and said seriously: "Sister, I'm an adult now, I don't need these, you can keep them for yourself."
Ji Ling looked at the siblings from the side and thought to herself: The elder brother next to him was just one month old and was sent to his elder brother's home. From then on, even meeting his biological mother was very troublesome.
Hongxin just needs to go to the study to study and practice martial arts.
And actually, if you think about it carefully, the fourth master has never made it clear that "the sixth elder brother will move out of Chengqian Palace from now on."
Not expressing his position is acknowledging that Sixth Brother can come back to her Chengqian Palace often.
Whether it was treating her or Hongxin, Yinzhen treated her favorably.
In the Qing palace, whenever a prince entered the study room to study, the Qin Tian Supervisor had to select an auspicious day and then report it to the emperor for approval.
Hongxin’s date was set for early November.
The afternoon before, Su Peisheng came to Chengqian Palace - after paying his respects to Concubine Chen, he said that he would take the sixth elder brother to Yangxin Palace at the request of the emperor.
Brother Six had just gotten up from his nap, straightened his clothes, and followed Su Peisheng.
Ji Ling originally wanted to ask what was going on, but then she thought why bother - Yinzhen is his biological father, what else could he do to Hongxin?
In November, the autumn wind is already a bit cold,
She waved Xiao Yoko and Xiao Kezi to accompany the sixth elder brother. When she wanted to call the other little eunuchs, the sixth elder brother stopped: "Mom, no need."
Just now in Chengqian Palace, there was a charcoal basin in the main hall, which was very warm. Now as soon as he came out of the palace, Su Peisheng couldn't help but shudder, and turned to look at Sixth Brother - it was obvious that he also felt a little chilly, and his face didn't look like that.
He was as flushed as he was in Chengqian Palace just now, but his back was still straight, his expression was generous, and he was walking forward leisurely.
He originally thought that the young master would ask him some questions on the way - what was it about being called to the Yangxin Hall by Huang Ama, but until he stepped on the steps of the Yangxin Hall, the sixth elder brother just didn't say a word.
Su Peisheng led him into the Yangxin Hall, the main hall, turned east, and said respectfully at the door of Nuan Pavilion: "Your Majesty, I have invited the Sixth Brother here!"
The palace attendants on both sides opened the curtains, and the sixth elder brother walked in.
When he raised his eyes, he saw eight little boys about the same age as him, standing neatly and orderly in front of Huang Ama's royal case.
Hongxin suddenly understood: these were haha beads arranged for him by Huang Ama.
The prince's study room education is strict, with special chief master, chief master, master, master, etc. In addition to learning Manchu, Mongolian and Han culture, the princes also have to learn martial arts such as horse riding and archery.
In the upper study room, the status of the master is very high, and the selection of the upper study master is also very cautious. Most of them must have both ability and political integrity to be successful.
As for the prince, there will be several haha beads around him, similar to reading companions. These are all descendants of the clan and the hero's family.
Haha Pearl will accompany the prince to learn the same content. If the prince fails to memorize the book, Haha Pearl will be severely reprimanded by the master, and may even be beaten on the prince's behalf.
But similarly, if the prince studies well, they will also receive commendations or even rewards. Each haha bead can receive a reward equivalent to eighty taels of silver every month.
Yinzhen was supposed to be attending the case. When he saw Hongxin coming, he stood up and walked over. He patted his shoulder with a smile, pointed at the eight boys and said, "Come and pick one."
It turns out that Huang Ama’s intention was not to arrange eight for him, but to choose from them.
Hongxin took a step forward, and the eight Haha Pearls all knelt down to say hello: "I would like to say hello to the sixth elder brother, may the sixth elder brother be blessed!"
Hongxin said: "Get up."
When everyone stood up, he said: "Everyone, raise your heads."
The eight little boys looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all raised their faces hesitantly.
Yinzhen patted his shoulder again: "I am here to accompany you in class, not to play with you."
When Huang Ama said this, the sixth elder brother became a little frustrated.
He really had this intention and wanted to find a friend to play with.
Brother Six took a step forward, and the eight haha beads involuntarily took a step back due to his identity. Only the little boy standing at the farthest side did not move.
Not only did he not move, he also straightened his chest and looked fearless.
The little boy was about the same height as the sixth elder brother, and he had a mischievous look on his face. He seemed to be thinking about some novel ideas all the time. When the sixth elder brother saw that he didn't hide, he glanced at him again.
These haha beads look like they are lined up in a row in the room, but they are actually carefully selected behind them.
As early as the ninth year of Yongzheng's reign, when the elder brother's house was undergoing its third renovation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs received the emperor's message and began to pick haha beads for the sixth elder brother.
Identity is the first priority, in addition to good character, smart person, good appearance... various conditions are not enough.
Through such selection, there were finally eight boys standing in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
Hongxin asked them all to report their names and family backgrounds. After getting the little boy, they found out that he was from the Zhenglan Banner, Wu Ling's family, and his name was Suotai.
He kept Suotai and ordered two more haha beads.
Yinzhen originally thought that he would probably take the exam, or at least let these eight people work hard in front of him. Who knew that his son would decide on the person so decisively.
Hongxin thought very simply: since these people are selected from thousands of people, there are naturally many levels of assessment. Those who can get in front of my brother are all good.
So what else does he need to choose? Just keep whatever you like.
The three Haha Pearls knelt down and kowtowed to Brother Six, and they recognized this little master from then on. The faces of the other Haha Pearls who were not selected inevitably showed disappointment.
Su Peisheng came forward and gave the rewards he had prepared to the unsuccessful clan members and children of meritorious officials. He smiled kindly and led the group of children out.
After the sixth elder brother's haha beads were selected, Yinzhen gave a few words of admonishment, and then without stopping, someone escorted the sixth elder brother to Qianxi Fifth Institute.
Hongxin was hugged by three haha beads and walked out. It was probably because he suddenly had a friend of the same age. He seemed to be excited, and even his steps were light. He almost walked, and suddenly looked back at Huang Ama.
