Flies don't bite seamless eggs. This is what Zhu Ying said to Ah Liu who came out with her today after completing the task of blocking the door of the Duke of Chu's mansion. After getting out of the Zhang family gate and mounting her horse, she said.
After finishing this sentence, he added two more sentences angrily.
"Of course, Ah Shou's egg is actually perfect enough. It was me who caused him trouble this time, so of course it's up to me to end it. Some guys are just a bunch of rotten eggs, but they still point their fingers at Ah Shou.
Isn’t that... If the tiger doesn’t show off its power, does it think I’m a sick cat? If I follow my old temper, I’ll bring out all the scandals in their house!”
If Zhang Shou were here, he would quickly dissuade the eldest lady from committing such a devastating move. However, the one who is with Zhu Ying at this moment is not Zhang Shou, but Ah Liu. The young man's principle has always been that his young master
They are absolutely right, and the eldest lady is also absolutely right. Anyone who says they are wrong is the enemy, and they can just collide and crush them.
Therefore, when Zhu Ying said harsh words, instead of objecting, he asked very seriously: "Do you want me to go?"
Seeing that Zhu Ying seemed a little shocked, the young man said in an extremely understated tone: "After I arrived in the capital, I had a lot of fights, met a lot of people, and learned a lot of messy things. Most of them were useless, but a small part of them were useful.
.”
Of course, Zhu Ying would not misunderstand what Ah Liu meant. She stared at him intently, and suddenly realized that this young man in front of her, who was inconspicuous most of the time, could still rely on his arrogance and dignity even in a place like the capital where there were many powerful people.
Be reasonable and find a path of his own.
If there were no Zhang Shou, and no her, would people still rely on those fists to single-handedly challenge all the three religions and nine schools in the capital? However, without a solid backing, even the best master in the world is useless.
What is dirty is the human heart and the methods... Fortunately, Ah Liu is following Zhang Shou, and fortunately now she is also the boy's backing!
Amused by her own thoughts, Zhu Ying shook her head and said: "Although I really want to agree to you and then watch a good show of frying pans with water and frying, but this is not a quarrel between children and overturning the table. It's not like this.
But Ah Liu, don’t be upset, follow me, we will go see the other attendants who were swept in from the Duke of Chu’s memorial, I want them to show an attitude!"
Duke Zhang Rui of the State of Chu sent a letter to exclude all the lecturers and readers of the East Palace. This naturally made these lecturers and readers feel very embarrassed. There were many people who complained in their hearts and even cursed Zhang Shou behind his back. However, Zhu Yingke came to visit politely.
, Chief Yue Shan, Chief Xu Shan, Chief Xiao Shan, all agreed to stand by the side of the third prince without saying a word.
That's right, it's to protect the prince, not Zhang Shou. Even though Zhu Ying seems careless, at this time she is rough and subtle.
After negotiating with these three mountain chiefs, Zhu Ying did not visit the remaining ones who were from the Hanlin Academy - these people with academic backgrounds were not in the same group as Zhang Shou anyway - but went to visit the public school to give lectures.
Chen Xianzhang, who fainted when talking about the third prince directly. Of course, he also met Liang Xiaojuren, who was already famous when he first arrived.
Although there are differences between men and women, the rules in this dynasty are not as strict as before, so when Zhu Ying saw the teacher and student, she was very generous. As for her reputation, Chen Xianzhang was just fine. Liang Xiaojue Liang Cuna
But he had admired his name for a long time, so from the first moment they met, he frequently peeked curiously, resulting in Ah Liu being slapped in the face several times.
There was an uproar in the outside world because of the incident of the prince skipping classes. Even the few questions that the emperor had asked a lot of celebrities before were of much lower interest. Since Chen Xianzhang chose a high-key and low-key way when he lectured at the public school that day, naturally
He didn't think it was possible for him to go to the East Palace to give lectures, so Zhu Ying's opening remarks after a brief greeting surprised him.
"Mr. Baisha, the emperor plans to ask you to give lectures in the East Palace. The date should be before the year of the lunar month, which is about the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month. You should make preparations in advance."
"Really?" Liang Chu was so happy that he almost jumped up. Then he looked at his teacher with joy, but at this time he found that the teacher not only had no joy on his face, but also frowned slightly. He thought about it again,
I was smart enough to think that I understood the teacher's concerns.
"This matter hasn't been announced yet, Miss Zhu... No, Mrs. Zhang Xueshi, please take it out now and tell the teacher that this is not good, right?"
When Zhu Ying saw Liang Xiaoju's excited but suppressed expression, she smiled and said: "This matter may be announced in court today or tomorrow. The emperor told me that he wanted me to give it in advance."
What's wrong with sending a letter from relevant people? Of course, if Mr. Bai Sha feels that it is difficult for him to be a lecturer because of the rumors that the prince is skipping classes, he can also resign."
If it were Zhang Shou, he would certainly not use such a straightforward tone, but Zhu Ying did not care whether her words were too aggressive at this time.
Chen Xianzhang did not care about Zhu Ying's teasing tone, but shook his head with a wry smile and said: "His Royal Highness is still young after all. Since he was studying, he has always had a reputation for being diligent and studious. He has always been full of praise for many lectures and readings, just because of an occasional
To criticize the officials when they go out and even accuse them of being incompetent is an overreach."
"Even when I was teaching students, I never asked everyone to study all the time. It is true that there is no limit to the sea of learning, but there is no limit to life, and you can enjoy the joy of hardship.
Of course it is one kind of attitude, but the balance of work and rest is also another kind of attitude. Therefore, it is not because I am unwilling to agree because of concerns about this, but..."
"But what I am good at is precisely what the third prince is difficult to understand and accept at his current age. At least it is like when Shu Hou first entered my sect. He is twelve or thirteen years old. You know, he is a young prodigy.
At that time, I could already memorize the Four Books backwards and forwards, and I could also specialize in one of the Five Classics. Although I could not yet be called a master, I could think about many things even if I couldn't understand them for a while."
After saying this in one breath, Chen Xianzhang paused for a moment, then sighed and said: "Fortunately, my wife came to tell me early. If the emperor had made the decree, I couldn't shirk it at that time, and I didn't say anything to be suspected.
Because at the moment I am worried about being criticized as a lecturer in the East Palace, and the most important thing is that no matter how I submit a letter to resign due to my own reasons, I will be regarded as arrogant."
"I also really hope that my scholarship will be accepted by the prince and promoted in the future, but it is really not what I want to encourage it and rush for quick success. If in three or two years, the emperor is still willing to call me to give lectures in the East Palace, I will be happy to go!"
Liang Chu was almost dumbfounded when he heard this. It was such a huge good thing that no one else could even think of, but the teacher actually refused...rejected? He looked at Zhu Ying helplessly, for fear that the person in the rumor would look like
The eldest lady, who was extremely beautiful but also had an extremely bad temper, became furious.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Ying burst into laughter the next moment.
"The prince told me that Mr. Baisha's lectures were difficult to understand, but he was clearly devoted and a good gentleman. And Ah Shou told me that Mr. Baisha's lectures were not meant for the prince to observe in person, so he chose those that were easy to understand.
Although he was telling lively and interesting things at his own pace, it shows his character. I thought he was exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be true."
After laughing, Zhu Ying nodded with a smile and said: "I will convey your attitude to the emperor, but I cannot guarantee the result. However, since Mr. Baisha is so considerate of the prince, please don't just say it at home, but
We should speak out openly. After all, isn't fairness and justice more important than being criticized harshly by those who criticize the prince and follow others' influence by reading and talking about it?"
Zhu Ying arrived quickly and left even faster. Although Chen Xianzhang planned to send her off, he finally stopped at Zhu Ying's request, but Liang Chu sent her away very enthusiastically.
It is not easy to live in the capital. The small courtyard that the teacher and student rented in the capital has only one entrance, that is, three main rooms, two east and west wing rooms, and then a door. Chen Xianzhang took an old servant with him.
A book boy, and Liang Chu only brought one book boy with him, so the house he lived in was naturally quite spacious, but Liang Chu, who was enthusiastic about seeing off the guests, had already reached the door before he walked a few steps, and he started talking.
Zhu Ying, however, seemed not to notice, and walked straight to her carriage, but when she was about to get on the carriage, she suddenly turned around. She looked up and down at the man in front of her who had already achieved great success at a young age, and was even called...
The child prodigy, a boy two years younger than Zhang Shou, immediately started laughing.
"Your teacher refused to teach reading in the East Palace. Do you feel sorry for him?"
"Yes... no, no, I didn't!" Liang Chu answered instinctively at first, and then changed his words in a panic. But when he noticed Zhu Ying's joking expression, he said sadly, "Teacher is indifferent to fame and wealth, and only focuses on fame and fortune.
Teaching is very famous in Guangdong, and many people admire him, but there are also some officials with Jinshi background who look down on him... I just hope that the teacher can be respected by others!"
And if you become a lecturer in the East Palace and what the teacher teaches can be accepted and even promoted by the prince, then you will not only be respected by the prince, but also the Baisha sect will truly go out of Guangdong!
Just as he was thinking this, Zhu Ying smiled softly and said: "If your teacher later becomes a lecturer in the East Palace, then you will be the prince's senior brother when you go out. Wouldn't that be quite proud?"
"I didn't think so!" Liang Xiaoju was immediately shocked and angry. His face turned red. Just when he was about to continue arguing, he saw Zhu Ying gently wave her hand to him.
"It doesn't matter if you think about it or not, as long as your teacher goes to the East Palace to give lectures, you will be His Royal Highness's real senior brother. However, I also need to tell you that this kind of lectures are different from those who have given lectures in the East Palace before.
Yes, to be precise, your teacher is giving a trial lecture. And such a trial lecture also has risks, that is, if the emperor thinks it is inappropriate and stops teaching, then..."
"Others may not say that His Highness the Crown Prince does not understand, or that the content of Mr. Baisha's lectures is highbrow, but they will say that Mr. Baisha has a false reputation, lacks knowledge, or other unpleasant things."
"For example, this incident involving His Highness the Crown Prince was originally insignificant, but after word of mouth spread to each other, it turned into such a sensational event. So, you have to understand that people's words are terrible.
"
Seeing Zhu Ying turn around and get on the carriage without looking back after saying this, Liang Chu suddenly felt disappointed. But when he came back to his senses, he saw Ah Liu standing in front of him and looking at him thoughtfully. He was
The other party's cold gaze was startled, and he took a step back hastily.
"If you feel that your teacher will be criticized if he says something fair, you can also ask others to file a petition."
After saying these particularly explicit words, Ah Liu also turned around and left. At this moment, Liang Chufang shook his head and put aside the worry about gains and losses just now, thinking that no matter whether the teacher refused or not, the little prince looked very handsome.
Yes, at least after listening to that lecture, he only heard people from outside saying that the prince praised Mr. Baisha for being knowledgeable and thoughtful, and he never heard anyone complain that he didn't understand.
For this reason, he is a very considerate prince... As for skipping classes, does that count? When he was a child, he also teased the teacher. Even later, he skipped classes for some reason and was beaten.
Butt blossoms!
The teacher has already become the target of public criticism because of Mrs. Ge's invitation, the scene of giving a lecture at the public school, and the emperor's special inquiry. If he writes a letter to speak for the prince again, he will definitely be criticized behind his back, but he can find a way to do it.
Inspire others to submit a letter. Those guys who want to be the lecturers of the East Palace and are crazy about it will be happy to stand up and defend the crown prince!
When Zhu Ying met the people she was supposed to meet, and finally left the city to go to the outer city public school, it happened to be the time when school was over. For those children who had to wait another six days to go to school after a day of classes.
, the young master's wife stood in front of the carriage, not caring about her appearance being peeped at. Even if it was not the first time they saw her, they still found her so beautiful that it was hard to describe in words.
Even if they know they shouldn't look too much, there are still people who are so greedy for looking that they bump into others or lose their footing. There are also quite a few people who look hard at someone and then run away quickly in embarrassment.
The commotion lasted for a while, until Zhang Shou, who had dismissed the students from get out of class, came out after hearing the news, and it finally came to an end. For Zhu Ying to come to pick him up with such fanfare, Bachelor Zhang was really dumbfounded.
It's better to wait comfortably on the carriage on this cold day than to stand in the wind for a quarter of an hour, right? Zhu Ying is not the type who likes to play around, causing a bunch of students who rarely see such beauty to fall.
, run away, what do you want to do?
Therefore, he hurriedly pulled Zhu Ying into the car and said helplessly: "Yingying, have you done something to bully men and dominate women again, so you came here to pick me up in such a big way? Do I still find it objectionable?
Are you not virtuous?"
"What about bullying men and dominating women...I'm not the second brother!" Zhu Ying snorted angrily, and then she started to talk about how to mobilize troops to investigate the crime and to solicit help from all over. Seeing Zhang Shou looking at her silently with a strange expression, she
He turned his head and muttered in a low voice, "I couldn't help the prince teasing him, so I helped him with the queen mother. I was the one who caused the trouble, so I have to show an attitude, right?"
"I didn't say you shouldn't run around." Zhang Shou chuckled, and then said calmly, "Having a good wife and husband at home saves trouble. Since you have done everything, then I will feel more at ease." Although he was originally prepared to do so.
do nothing……
Faced with such an answer, Zhu Ying turned from annoyance to joy. She gently held Zhang Shou's hand, and then said with a smile: "Tomorrow you will go to Ciqing Palace to give a lecture. I will pick you up later and we will go
Look at Concubine Yu, she’s probably going to give birth in the next few days!”
