Prince Consort

Xie Ze'an heard what happened on the eldest princess at the dinner table.

When Xie Jiyu spoke, his tone was very flat, as if he was saying "the weather is so nice today", so that Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Li even forgot to be stupefied when they heard it, and almost felt like Xie Jiyu, "Oh, so there is such a thing. one thing".

In the end, Mrs. Xie sent Xie Jiyu to the eldest princess's mansion without saying anything.

Mrs. Xie can be regarded as the first person to know the Zhao Ying brothers and sisters. Seeing them become what they are now, she is not without emotion.But the emotion is the emotion, she will not go to the old love again.Zhao Ying is affectionate, but compared with affection, he will always choose the world first; the eldest princess is also affectionate, but she gave all her love to the dead. She has even forgotten the deep brother-sister friendship she once had. How can she still count on it? Does she remember outsiders?

So Mrs. Xie has been raising her son honestly, teaching her what her husband wanted to do when he was alive, and letting him realize his father's ambitions.

Hearing that the eldest princess lost her son, Mrs. Xie was a little sympathetic.

With that person in front of him, how could the counterfeit look like it?Knowing that it is impossible to accept other people but still start such a new marriage, in the end the bitter fruit can only be swallowed by oneself.

Not being able to swallow the bitter fruit and not being able to get out of the body, it is not surprising that there will be such a result.

The son of the eldest princess is arrogant and domineering. I don't know how many farces he has caused. If he really wanted to be a little bit careful, would he always turn a deaf ear to it?The eldest princess's house is full of people from the eldest princess, and the attitude of the eldest princess towards Xie Qian and his son will affect the attitude of the people below towards them.

How could such a thing happen in the Xie Mansion?She is not very close to Xie Dalang, but if Xie Dalang goes to Xie Ze'an's side twice more, she will know immediately.

Madam Xie just sighed.

Li Shi looked at Xie Xiaomei and Xie Ze'an worriedly.

She was afraid that Xie Qian would put his mind on the two brothers and sisters.

After the childhood love was exhausted, she understood Xie Qian's temper better than anyone else.

Xie Jiyu understood what Li Shi was worried about, reached out to hold Li Shi's hand, and said: "Sanlang and Xiaomei are my children, and no one can change this in the future."

Mrs. Li felt a little relieved.

Xie Zean listened silently.

From his point of view, this incident has little impact on him at present.Although Xie Qian is his biological "father", in his opinion, this kind of scum who abandoned his wife and son is not much different from his "biological father" in his "previous life". The half-brother, unexpectedly, has no chance!

Xie Ze'an went to Donggong to study with Zhao Chongzhao as usual.

When the three-day period came, the "Analects" copied by Zhao Chongzhao and the others had to be handed in.Xie Ze'an looked left and right, and found that Zhao Chongzhao's copy was much thinner than his own.

Xie Ze'an asked without shame: "Why are there so few of you?"

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Ah? Don't you know? Talk to your husband carefully when handing in, and you can be exempted as appropriate. Copying it three times in three days is simply impossible."

Xie Ze'an: "..."

Xie Ze'an couldn't help raising his eyes to glance at Xu Juncheng.

Xu Juncheng happened to be reading a large volume of "The Analects" he had handed in, caught Xie Ze'an's guilty gaze, stopped to look at him, and shouted: "Sanlang."

Xie Ze'an: "...here."

Xu Juncheng said, "You copied this yourself?"

Xie Ze'an inexplicably felt that he had been seen through, but he still refused to admit it: "Yes!"

Xu Juncheng boasted: "The copying was good, and the homework was done well."

Xie Zean felt like a dog: "It's so-so."

Xu Juncheng said: "In this case, I can give you more homework in the future."

Xie Ze'an: "..."

Xie Ze'an finally confessed with tears.

Xu Juncheng said flatly: "Since you have no intention of admitting punishment, I will not punish you."

Xie Zean felt even more uneasy.

After class, Xie Zean took the initiative to stay and look for Xu Juncheng.

Xu Juncheng said: "Do you think it's useless for me to ask you to copy the Analects?"

Xie Zean shook his head, and said seriously: "No, my handwriting is not good, and my knowledge of classics and history is not solid, so I should copy it."

Xu Juncheng said: "You and Your Highness are very similar. You are very sincere when you admit your mistakes, and you will make the same mistakes next time."

Xie Ze'an obediently stood aside: "In the future, I will do whatever you punish me seriously." Anyway, it can be done at your own discretion!

Xu Juncheng could tell at a glance what he was planning.

He said: "Your handwriting is really ugly." He led Xie Zean to the bookshelf and took out a manuscript, and handed it to Xie Zean, "This is your article written by Mr. Yao when you were 20 years old. It's worth learning."

Xie Ze'an was slightly surprised, but he couldn't help but said: "Didn't someone re-copy the test papers during the imperial examination and judge the pros and cons?"

Xu Juncheng laughed angrily at Xie Zean: "Then you mean you don't need to practice your calligraphy?"

Xie Ze'an immediately shut up.

Xu Juncheng said: "That was before the palace examination. After winning the Jinshi, you still need to pass the palace examination to determine your ranking. Before the palace examination begins, His Majesty will personally read the original papers of the candidates, and finally take the original papers here and save them. If your handwriting is still so ugly, it will be a joke for thousands of years."

Xie Ze'an's eyes lit up: "Sir, I think I can be a Jinshi!"

Xu Juncheng: "..."

It is said that a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands, why does he suddenly feel a little itchy?

Xu Juncheng asked Xie Ze'an to read the test questions cited by Yao Dingyan.

Xie Ze'an obeyed obediently.

He was a little surprised when he saw it.

This manuscript is good, but not quite right.

Xie Ze'an has already read Yao Dingyan's Wanyan book, and he can be sure that what is written here is definitely not Yao Dingyan's claim.

Xie Ze'an looked at Xu Juncheng suspiciously.

Who is Xu Juncheng?He could tell what Xie Zean was thinking at a glance.

Xu Juncheng said: "You are surprised, right? This kind of smooth and stable essay is definitely not something you Mr. Yao would have. He wrote it like this because the examiner that year was Taishi Qin, who likes this kind of essay the most. "

Xie Ze'an is thoughtful.

Xu Juncheng said: "If you want to take this path, you must first learn to be 'flexible'. Flexibility is not speculation." He glanced at Xie Zean, "You ask someone to help you copy "The Analects of Confucius" is a kind of speculation, you want to bet on me I can't find it. But "work around" is different. If you read your husband's article carefully, you can actually find some of his original intentions. As I said, everything should be decided according to the law. Seeking common ground while reserving differences after grasping the general direction is called flexibility."

After Xie Ze'an listened to Xu Juncheng's advice, the fog in front of him seemed to be cleared a lot.

These seemingly boring "exam-oriented compositions" are actually quite interesting after careful study!

The word "seeking common ground while reserving differences" seems simple, but it is actually very difficult to achieve.Xie Ze'an knew that Grand Master Qin disliked his husband Yao Dingyan very much now, but Yao Dingyan's article was selected by Grand Master Qin. It can be seen that Yao Dingyan's reputation for early wisdom is not for nothing!

If no one points out the doorway here, few people will notice it.

Xie Ze'an said, "Thank you sir for your advice!"

Xu Juncheng said, "Go back."

He watched Xie Zean leave and sighed.

Xu Juncheng is a student of the old master Qin, so he naturally knows that the old master Qin doesn't like Yao Dingyan's idea.Hearing that Xie Zean had already worshiped Yao Dingyan as his teacher, he admired him before and repeatedly asked him not to let Xie Zean and Zhao Chongzhao get too close.

Xu Juncheng's current status in Shilin was naturally not obtained by listening to Mr. Qin's words, he also had his own ideas.Although Xie Ze'an first worshiped Yao Dingyan as his teacher, isn't he also Xie Ze'an's "Mr."?As a teacher, Xu Juncheng didn't think that Xie Ze'an would only be influenced by Yao Dingyan.

Xu Juncheng decided to teach Xie Zean some things. As for how much Xie Zean can learn and how much he will use, it is Xie Zean's own business, and he will not interfere.

I just don't know if the words "seek common ground while reserving differences" can exist between him and Yao Dingyan?

Thinking of the many conflicts between his teacher and his old friends, Xu Juncheng shook his head with a wry smile, packed his things and left the East Palace.

Xie Ze'an was invited to Zhao Chongzhao's side before leaving the palace.

Zhao Chongzhao was listening to the reports from the subordinates, and when he saw Xie Zean coming, he immediately said excitedly: "Sanlang, the "Materia Medica" has received hundreds of medicinal herbs, come here and have a look, the people at the medical officer's hospital are very excited." Too busy!"

Due to geographical restrictions, it is difficult for doctors at this time to recognize all herbs, and many of them are even "one side goes to the world", and they dare to "hang the pot to help the world" when they know a prescription. Praise yourself for your ability, and if you put him to death, you will say that he deserves to die!

In just a short period of time, the introduction of hundreds of medicinal herbs has been collected, which is already a remarkable thing.

Xie Ze'an said: "The more powerful a doctor is, the more he understands the medicine and its properties. Ask a more powerful doctor to read the ones that are particularly well written, and mark them first." He asked Zhang Dade to get it for himself. On a large piece of paper, I drew a simple map of Daqing on it, took out a manuscript, looked at the name and address fields, and marked a point on the map with red sand, "Like this, first mark people with good medical skills. Come out, and when the time comes, just follow the map and search for it.”

Zhao Chongzhao nodded his head, but his eyes were occupied by the map drawn by Xie Zean.He asked in surprise: "Sanlang, how can you draw it easily!"

Xie Ze'an said: "I'm more sensitive to the orientation, and I can remember it after looking at it a few times. Moreover, it is very simple to draw. Your Highness can easily draw it if you want."

Zhao Chongzhao used to think that painting was boring and useless, but after seeing Xie Zean's skills, he was eager to try!

Zhao Chongzhao agreed straight away: "Then you can stay for half an hour later and teach me this! Of course, we will discuss other things at that time!" Zhao Chongzhao became more and more excited as he spoke, "Why don't you finish your meal with me from now on? Let's go home!"

Xie Ze'an: "..."

Zhao Chongzhao did what he said, and asked people to prepare paper and pens on the spot for Xie Zean to start teaching himself.

Zhao Chongzhao is definitely not a stupid student. After Xie Zean explained it a little bit, he mastered the basic drawing method. What kind of cylindrical and spherical shapes have been drawn in a good way!

Xie Ze'an boasted sincerely: "Your Highness is really amazing!"

Zhao Chongzhao wanted to ask Xie Zean to stay and have dinner with him after finishing the "painting course", but Xie Zean left the palace because he was afraid that his family would worry.

Zhao Chongzhao could only run to share the joy with Princess Yanning.

Princess Yan Ning was a little surprised to see Zhao Chongzhao running over with his "study work".When Zhao Chongzhao told him what Xie Ze'an taught him, she couldn't help being slightly dazed.

Zhao Chongzhao suddenly remembered that Princess Yan Ning was very interested in Xie Zean's drawings before, and slapped his thigh and said, "Ning'er, come and learn together!"

Princess Yanning frowned.

The more Zhao Chongzhao thought about it, the more he felt that this should be done: "Anyway, I am in charge of the East Palace, so I can do it if I say yes! In the worst case, I will go and tell my father, and my father will not object!"

Princess Yan Ning knew that she should object, but the words of refusal stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say anything.

After a while, she whispered, "Okay."

Zhao Chongzhao said: "Then I'll go and tell Father!" As he said that, he ran away in a hurry, just like when he came.

Princess Yan Ning told herself that this was to get along with Zhao Chongzhao more, and it would be easier to lead Zhao Chongzhao on the right path if she often went to the East Palace.

She convinced herself silently, and turned to look at Baimei outside the window.

A gust of cold wind blows, and several petals of plum blossoms are swept away from the branches by the wind. They float high and then slowly fall, and finally sink into the white snow.

No more traces.
