A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Li Er whispered, "Let's see what Cheng Qian does."

Wang Qin nodded, His Majesty is still testing his son.

"Queen!" Shouting all over, the little son jumped into the arms of the eldest grandson empress, "Queen, Si misses you."

"Little girl, how did you know that you came to see your mother?" Empress Changsun hugged her daughter.

"Imperial Father, Empress Mother." Li Zhi also saluted Li Er and Empress Changsun, followed by Gao Yang.

"Royal father, queen mother." Gao Yang said with his head down.

Empress Changsun held Gao Yang's hand, "Gao Yang, how are you doing these days?"

Li Er also paid attention to Gao Yang's expression.

"My daughter is fine." Gao Yang looked at Empress Changsun and bowed silently, "Mother, daughter..."

"It's fine." Empress Changsun patted Gao Yang's shoulder, "As long as you are well, the empress has nothing to worry about, you are all her children."

"En!" Gao Yang nodded vigorously and sobbed.

Wang Qin watched the family walk into the palace, and also looked at the drizzle outside the Daming Palace with a smile.

Seeing the well-behaved little Sizi sitting with Li Zhi, Empress Changsun said in a gentle voice, "You must not know it yet, if you knew it, you would have told us a long time ago."

Li Er nodded slightly, Gu Qing did a good job in not telling Li Zhi about the marriage.

"Mother's queen, mother's queen." The little son took out a handkerchief from his arms while speaking, "Sizi made a Shu brocade for the mother's queen."

"Shu brocade?" Empress Changsun looked at it in surprise, "Your son already knows how to make this?"

"Yeah!" Little Sizi nodded vigorously, "Sister Wu Mei taught Sizi."

Gu family

In the lobby of the peaceful Gu family, Gu Qing was looking at the fragments of Guiguzi that Fang Xuanling had given him back then, when Fan Jian walked up and said, "Patriarch, the people from the Yan family are here."

Gu Qing put down the scroll in his hand, "Bring it in."

The maid at home quietly poured tea for Gu Qing, and the members of the Yan family walked into the house.

"Old man Yan Chang, come to pay a visit to Xiangguo."

Listening to the other party's words, Gu Qing observed that the person who came was a middle-aged man, "I have been looking up to the Langya Yan family for a long time, and I have long wanted to meet you."

Yan Chang looked up at Xiangguo, who was only in his early 20s, "Li Ran is here to do things for you."

"I don't have a relationship with Li Ran from the Li family in Zhaojun." Gu Qing brought him a cup of tea, "At most, we have mutual interests. This is the new tea this year, try it?"

Yan Chang was not in the mood to drink tea, so he put the teacup on the table, "Gu Qing, I have one thing that I must clarify."

"Just ask."

"Are you trying to obstruct the marriage between the old man's daughter and His Royal Highness Prince Jin?" Yan Chang said.

"Do you think this marriage will be facilitated? If you really think so, you think too easily about the one in Daming Palace." Gu Qing whispered, "His Royal Highness Jin is the son of the eldest son, do you think His Majesty will Because of the pressure of your gentry to marry your daughter to His Royal Highness King Jin, you think the royal marriage is too cheap."

Yan Chang continued, "Your Majesty still appreciates this matter very much. If Your Majesty makes an order, will you, Gu Qing, still openly obstruct it?"

"Then Li Chengqian is too unwise." Gu Qing said calmly, "Buying at a loss."

Yan Chang looked at Gu Qing strangely.

"Let me tell you this." Gu Qing said to Yan Chang, "People from the Shandong gentry want to control the academy, not just arguing with His Royal Highness King Wei once or twice in the academy, the academy's attitude is to accept the Shandong gentry, but the academy It cannot be changed because of the Shandong gentry, even if your matter becomes an academy, it will not change to the Shandong gentry, the original intention of the academy has nothing to do with Li Chengqian, it has to do with the one in Daming Palace."

"Gu Qing, what do you mean?" Yan Chang's expression was ugly.

"What I mean is that you have been used as guns." Gu Qing said: "It is a great thing for you Langya Yan family to marry the royal family, but what happened afterwards? What did your Langya Yan family get? Instead It will arouse even more resentment from the royal family, putting the cart before the horse!"

"Then what do we want our Langya Yan clan to do?" Yan Chang said loudly, "Do you know how much our entire Langya Yan clan has burdened? Among all the gentry, only our Yan clan is weak! There is such a glorious We will not let go of the opportunity of the lintel! This daughter is married!"

"Why bother?" Gu Qing stared at him.

"There's no need for nothing." Yan Chang said, "Do you think I don't want my daughter? I only have one daughter, and I don't want to part with it. If something goes wrong this time, what will happen to my daughter's reputation? How do you let her live? A woman who has not yet left the cabinet, but is rejected by the royal family, that is not Guangyao's lintel, it is a shame to the ancestors, and it is a humiliation to my Yan family."

"Who is innocent in this world." Gu Qingchang sighed, "I don't know if you are involuntary, I have no malice towards you Yan family, but you just became victims between the academy and the royal family. I mentioned that you are not worth it, it is too worthless."

"Gu Qing, what exactly do you want?" Yan Chang said, "As long as the old man's daughter marries the royal family, no matter whether it is good or bad, it will be a great honor to the Langya Yan family who has always been dead. , I can squeeze my head out for this glory, but I can't bear to see my daughter's face."

"You are Xiangguo, Gu Qing, you are so young and beautiful."

Chapter 631 The Sorrow of the Yan Family

"Of course you, Gu Qing, don't have to be afraid, but what about us? We are struggling to become victims of your schemes, have you ever thought about our feelings? Have you considered our position?" Yan Chang spoke loudly, looking at the calm Gu Qing and taking a deep breath. In one breath, "I'm sorry, the old man was rude."

"It's okay." Gu Qing waved his hand, "I can understand why you are so excited, you don't want to ruin your daughter's life because of this incident, as a woman your daughter has no choice, as a father you have to choose between your daughter and the family Choose family."

Yan Chang sat down weakly.

The atmosphere in the lobby fell into silence for a while, Gu Qing finished drinking the tea in his cup, "Yan Lao, let's go for a walk together."

"Alright." Yan Chang stood up.

Gu Village is still as clean and tidy as before, Yan Chang followed Gu Qing all the way and said, "You have built this place very well, I admire you very much."

"Actually, it's nothing." Gu Qing said again, "The academy is there, let's go and have a look."

"it is good!"

The buildings of the academy spread all the way to the village, and now the village is almost integrated, and there is no distinction between the inside and outside of the village academy.

"Here are the children of ordinary people." Yan Chang looked at everything here, "Gu Qing, this is your determination to fight against the gentry, right?"

"Yes." Gu Qing did not deny it.

The well-mannered students always greeted Yan Chang and Gu Qing when they saw everyone. Even four or five-year-old children could already read the Book of Songs. .

"It's the simplest addition and subtraction." Gu Qing said to Yan Chang, "When you're older, you can do some more complicated math. These are taught by Li Chunfeng, and the etiquette is taught by Kong Yingda. The upper and lower structures of the academy are The upper-level masters lead the lower-level masters, and Kong Yingda Cenwen and these old masters decide how to teach the lower-level masters, and let the lower-level masters teach the students."

"Very interesting rules." Only after seeing this did Yan Chang realize what is the most distinctive feature of this academy.

"Professors who distribute knowledge according to grades." Gu Qing said all the way, "Some private schools and bookstores outside may not start learning until they are more than ten years old, and maybe the gentry will start earlier, but the rule here is that children must be smart. You can start learning at the age of five, starting from writing your own name, starting from literacy and objects.”

"Well, generally the children of the gentry do not start school until they are seven or eight years old." Yan Chang agrees with Gu Qing's rule, "It will be sooner or later. There is no such rule in the academy."

"Of course, the arrangement of courses is also divided according to grades." Gu Qing went on to say, "From the age of four to the age of six, we start to study formally. From the age of six to the age of 16, our curriculum is very tight. Students have to learn Many, from numerology to etiquette, you have to learn, and after you finish these things, you can go up to adult students, adult students can choose what they want to learn for their livelihood, and there are also special teachers to teach or students to learn by themselves."

"This is very interesting." Yan Chang was puzzled, "So in your academy, adult students should continue to study?"
