The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Since Yang Qi said that all food in Linhuyuan should be taken from the big kitchen, there was no food left in the small kitchen. Now there were only some cakes, rice and a few eggs. The rice was left in the small kitchen when Yang Qi was diagnosed with smallpox. It was almost time for Mr. Yang to go to class, so it was definitely too late to cook porridge now. Mother He had to fry a few eggs and took the cakes left over from yesterday and brought them to Yang Qi.

Yang Qi didn't mind. Since the small kitchen wasn't cooking, it was good enough to have these foods. He finished them in no time.

Yang Qi brought He's mother to Wutong Courtyard, put the prepared writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, picked up "Hundred Family Names" and started reading, waiting for Mr. Yang to arrive. The first part of the book that Mr. Yang had distributed was "Three Character Classic" and the second part was "Hundred Family Names". According to Mr. Yang's previous progress, it is estimated that he can finish "Hundred Family Names" in one day.

Tianyuan Dynasty, Imperial Palace, Golden Throne Hall.

Yuan Ruiyuan had already packed up and was waiting for the emperor to come to court. Having grown up in the palace, Yuan Ruiyuan had long learned not to show his emotions, and the officials and ministers around him could not tell whether the prince was in a good or bad mood every day.

Yuan Ruiyin was standing behind Yuan Ruiyuan, looking at Yuan Ruiyuan in front of him. His face looked normal, but his heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness. Yuan Ruiyuan was alone yesterday, and there was such a good opportunity to assassinate him. The strongest masters of the Poison Scorpion came out together, but under such circumstances, Yuan Ruiyuan was able to escape. Could it be that Yuan Ruiyuan's martial arts skills were so high that they were unfathomable?

Yuan Ruiyin felt an even greater pang of pain in his heart when he thought about the loss of four top masters of the Poison Scorpion last night. Every killer of the Poison Scorpion was trained by him with great difficulty, but these people died before they could make much contribution.

Yuan Ruiyuan stood above the court officials. The scars from yesterday's fierce battle were still aching, but yesterday's incident was not completely useless. Without looking, he knew that the expression on his fifth brother's face must be very ugly.

A few months ago, there were murders and riots in various places in the Tianyuan Dynasty. The Jinyiwei's investigation found that these incidents were all caused by an organization called "Poison Scorpion". The Poison Scorpion organization immediately became famous in the assassin world for its quick actions, clean sweeps, and high martial arts. Therefore, Yuan Ruiyuan also noticed this rapidly rising assassin organization.

However, after more than a month of investigation, the Jinyiwei had only obtained very little information about the poisonous scorpion. When the Jinyiwei's repeated reports were fruitless, Yuan Ruiyuan began to suspect that the person behind the poisonous scorpion must be in the court. If there was no one in the court plotting, how could the poisonous scorpion avoid the Jinyiwei and the government's inspection time and time again.

This time, his cousin Huo Xuan was seriously injured by the Poison Scorpion on his way back to Beijing, and he himself was assassinated by the Poison Scorpion elites. Following these two clues, Peilin quickly determined that the Poison Scorpion was a gang secretly cultivated by Yuan Ruiyin!

The eight assassins sent out last night, judging by their skills, should be the elite of the Poison Scorpion. I have killed four of them and seriously injured four. I think Peilin should have better news soon.

Another surprise for Yuan Ruiyuan was Song Yangqi. After returning to the East Palace, Bai Tan had treated Yuan Ruiyuan. The poison on the Scorpion Killer's sword had been cured, but Bai Tan could not diagnose what kind of medicinal material Song Yangqi fed Yuan Ruiyuan with the antidote. The hemostatic medicine used on the wound was ordinary medicinal material, nothing special.

Song Yangqi, I am more and more interested. A young lady who has not been favored for many years actually has such a magical medicine. Bai Tan has always been steady, but she was unusually excited after taking her pulse last night. This is enough to show how precious Song Yangqi's medicine is. This time Song Yangqi saved me. Although I would be safe without her, I still have to express my gratitude this time.

Yang Qi in Wutong Courtyard had no idea what Yuan Ruiyuan was thinking. She just followed Mr. Yang's lectures wholeheartedly and listened carefully. Sure enough, every word he said was a surprise.

"Hundred Family Surnames is a collection of Chinese Han surnames, containing more than 400 surnames."

"According to the research of scholar Wang Mingqing, the Hundred Family Surnames was written by an 'old scholar from Qiantang'. Qiantang was under the jurisdiction of Wuyue Kingdom at that time. After the establishment of Northern Song Dynasty, Wuyue Kingdom attached itself to Song Dynasty. The four surnames in the first sentence, 'Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li', the emperor of Song Dynasty was surnamed Zhao, and as the national surname of the dynasty, 'Zhao' was naturally listed as the first surname. 'Qian' was the surname of the king of Wuyue Kingdom, so it was ranked second. 'Sun' was the surname of the wife of Qian Chu, the king of Wuyue Kingdom at that time, and ranked third. 'Li' was the surname of the king of Southern Tang during the Tenth Generation, and many of the Jiangnan clans were surnamed Li, so it was ranked fourth. The four surnames in the second sentence, 'Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Wang', are all the surnames of the concubines of successive dynasties since the founding of Wuyue Kingdom. It is not difficult to see from the above that the surname 'Zhao' was ranked first for the reason of 'respecting the national surname'."

Following Mr. Yang's instructions, Yang Qi and Yang Lan quickly wrote down what they had learned today on paper.

After the morning class, Mr. Yang closed the book and said to Yang Qi and Yang Lan, "Today's homework is to copy all the big characters in the Hundred Family Names."

Then, Mr. Yang took out the homework of Yang Qi and Yang Lan from the previous two days and said, "There is no big problem with Yang Lan's homework. As for Yang Qi, your big characters are a little weak and empty. You should pay more attention to that next time."

Yang Qi nodded. He had discovered this problem before. His original idea was to imitate Mr. Yang's handwriting and the copybook, so that he would improve slowly. Seeing Mr. Yang raised this question, Yang Qi raised his hand and asked, "Sir, I want to ask how can I improve my handwriting to be strong and powerful?"

Mr. Yang did not give a direct answer to Yang Qi's question, but said: "Wang Xizhi was a great calligrapher. When he was young, he practiced calligraphy very hard. It is said that the broken brushes he used for calligraphy practice piled up into a small hill, which people called "Brush Hill". There was a small pond next to his house, and he often washed his brushes and inkstone in this pond. Later, the water in the small pond turned black, so people called this pond the Ink Pond."

Yang Qi looked at Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang was telling himself that there was no quick way to learn calligraphy and it had to be acquired step by step.

Seeing Yang Qi nod seriously, Mr. Yang continued, "Your problem now is that the strength in your hands is too weak. You can pay more attention to the training of your hand strength, or if you have time, you can practice writing on the wall."

Yang Qi was very happy to hear Mr. Yang's words, and regarded them as wise words. Yes, isn't the reason why I can't write well now because I don't have strength in my hands? So it looks empty, doesn't Mr. Yang's words point me in the right direction?

Yang Qi said to Mr. Yang seriously: "Thank you, sir."
