It is a tradition for the number one scholar to ride horses and parade through the streets, but Tao Jiusi made the emperor unhappy. Li Chengming saw the wind and canceled all follow-up activities of Tao Jiusi, and sent him home to rest.

With ease, Jiu Sile accompanied Xia Kaiyan and Fang Zongqi's hairpin out of Zhengtian Gate, and seeing them straddle their horses away, then turned around and left the palace through Chengtian Gate.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, he saw his father and elder brother standing under the palace wall waiting for him, thinking that his father and brother must be very worried about his bold actions today.

"Father, big brother," Tao Jiusi called softly, ready to receive his father's reprimand, who knew that after waiting for a long time, his father patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "Jiusi, you are a sensible child. Why did you give up the second prince to choose the eldest prince, but you always have a reason to do things, don't worry, just let it go, your elder brother and I are always toward you."

Su Qingquan also patted Tao Jiusi's arm comfortingly, and said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law knows that there is a champion in our family, and she cooks for herself, and she can't wait to take out all the crafts that are under the box. Come on, let's go home and taste it. "

In his previous life, his father fully supported him and spared no effort to protect Wei Rongyu, so he also imagined how furious his father would be if he invited him to be the teacher of the eldest prince in this life.However, at this moment, Tao Jiusi understood that for his father and brother, the important thing was not to choose the eldest prince or the second prince, but how to help and protect him.

As soon as Tao Jiusi got home, he ran into He Xiyun who was about to enter the door with big bags and small bags.

When He Xiyun saw Tao Jiusi and his party, he quickly put the things on the ground, said hello to Su Wenzheng and Su Qingquan, then turned his head and said happily, "The number one scholar! My friend of He Xiyun is actually the number one scholar!"

He Xiyun and Tao Jiusi grew up together. His father was a local rich man in Anning. He Xiyun, who was raised by a wealthy man, didn't know the sufferings of the world and became an out-and-out dude.Later, Tao Jiusi was adopted by the Su family and came to Jingluo. Not long after, He Xiyun also came to the capital to join his uncle who was doing business in Jingluo.

He Xiyun raised the gift in his hand again, and waved it in front of Tao Jiusi: "Look at what I brought you, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, all of which are the best in Jingluo City. By the way, we are similar in stature. I made gestures myself, and even bought you a ready-made suit, and you will be the number one scholar in the future, so you can't dress so shabby."

Tao Jiusi cherished this friend even more after experiencing a lifetime, and saluted He Xiyun solemnly, saying thank you.

He Xiyun knew that Tao Jiusi had always been a model student of integrity and integrity, and he didn't think it was strange that Tao Jiusi thanked himself so seriously, so he entered the gate on his own, and went looking for Su Qingmeng.

He Xiyun is generous and righteous, and will please the elders, he has long been a frequent visitor to the Su residence.Seeing this, Su Wenzheng and Su Qingquan didn't blame them, they dragged Tao Jiusi into the house happily.

Relatives and friends were all there, and there was still a chance to start over. Tao Jiusi took a deep breath. The spring of 45 was as charming and beautiful as in memory.

Tao Jiusi woke up early the next day, brewed a pot of Longjing that He Yunxi had sent yesterday, and drank while thinking about how to face Wei Lingxue.

Although he is determined to become Teacher Wei Lingxue, subconsciously he is still afraid and disgusted with Wei Lingxue, and it may be quite difficult to treat him calmly as a student .

Tao Jiu thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he went out early and went to the palace.

Wei Lingxue's class time was originally set at Chenshi, but just after [-]:[-], Tao Jiusi saw Wei Lingxue's figure getting closer and closer to the study.

Although Wei Lingxue didn't wear a bodyguard's clothes today, the clothes seemed to be more torn than those of the bodyguards. Not to mention it was washed white, and there were two patches on the cuffs. It was so shabby that he didn't look like a prince at all.Besides, when other princes go out, they are accompanied by a lot of servants and maidservants, while Wei Lingxue is only followed by a 50-[-]-year-old nanny, who is also dressed in rags.

Seeing that Tao Jiusi was already waiting in the study, Wei Lingxue seemed taken aback and asked, "Why did Mr. Tao come so early?"

After Tao Jiusi was reborn, it was the first time that Wei Lingxue was so calm and took the initiative to talk to him.

Tao Jiusi took Wei Chengxue's book basket, and asked, "Chenshi is in class, so you're here early."

Wei Lingxue lowered her head and said nothing, silently spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and urged: "Sir, since we have all arrived early, let's start class now."

Tao Jiusi didn't start class right away, he sat behind the desk, his eyes swept over Wei Lingxue's pen, ink, paper and inkstone one by one.

Wei Chengxue's Four Treasures of Study are even worse than those that the old monk picked up for Tao Jiusi back then, not to mention that the pen has already forked, there is a crack on the inkstone, and even the papers are of different sizes, and some even have writing on the back.

Seeing Tao Jiusi staring at the papers, the nanny next to Wei Lingxue thought that the teacher thought the students had misbehaved and deliberately brought some uneven papers, and quickly explained: "Mr. The proportion is not comparable to other princes, and they can't get a few sheets of paper a year, so the servants have to show their old faces and ask everywhere to write other people's waste paper, and cut out the unwritten parts for the eldest prince. There is one side that is not used, and it would be a pity to throw it away, so I brought it to the First Prince."

Tao Jiusi remembered that the nanny next to Wei Chengxue was called Agui, who was originally the nanny of the deposed empress, and she had been serving the eldest prince since the deposed empress passed away.

Wei Nexue was probably a little shy, and called out, "Don't talk about it, mother!"

Tao Jiusi said unexpectedly, "Very good."

Wei Lingxue looked at him in surprise, and Tao Jiusi explained: "Eldest Prince, your nanny is considerate of you and will find a way, which is very good. Your Highness can not give up on himself, but can not be discouraged, which is also true." very good."

Wei Lingxue looked at Tao Jiusi, the ice-snow-like separation and guard in his eyes suddenly seemed to fade a lot.But for some reason, he still couldn't look directly into Tao Jiusi's pure eyes, so he could only lower his head and said calmly, "Mr. Tao, what are we learning today?"

Tao Jiusi knew that Wei Chengxue had been a proton in the Eastern Qi Dynasty for many years, and he had never invited him to be a husband when he returned to Emperor Weiguo. In his previous life, he didn't talk much to Wei Chengxue, and he didn't know how many words he knew and how many books he had read. .

Tao Jiusi tentatively asked, "Have you ever read The Book of Songs?" Wei Lingxue nodded.

"What about "The Analects", "Mencius", "Great Learning", and "The Doctrine of the Mean"?" Wei Lingxue nodded again.

Tao Jiu thought to himself, the eldest prince has not been completely abandoned in the past 16 years, he nodded in relief, and asked, "What books has your Highness read?"

Wei Lingxue raised his head, raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Tao, I have read all the Four Books and Five Classics, and I know all the characters. Don't worry, sir, that I won't understand."

Tao Jiusi was originally afraid of hurting Wei Chengxue, so he asked obliquely, but who knew that Wei Chengxue was smart, so the straightforwardness pierced his mind.

Tao Jiusi said: "That's good, but there is still a long way to go between reading and understanding the meaning, and there is still a lot of difference between understanding the meaning and practicing the principles. Since you said you have read these books, I want to test His Highness .”

When Wei Nexue heard that the exam was about to take place, she immediately sat upright and said, "Mr. Tao, please tell me."

Tao Jiusi: "Is it possible to 'know what can't be done and do it'?"

Wei Lingxue pondered for a moment, and said: "Confucius did it, and so did Lingxue."

Wei Lingxue's tone was firm, and there was still a youthful tenacity in her eyes. She still had such tenacity and confidence in the face of adversity. Tao Jiusi couldn't help shouting. There was really no way to compare the current Wei Lingxue and the King of Hades who had killed him in the previous life. connect together.

Tao Jiusi nodded. Although he wanted Wei Lingxue to have a benevolent heart immediately, he knew that he should not act too hastily, and only by subtle changes and spring winds could affect this resolute young man.

Nanny Gui has experienced many things and met many people. As soon as she saw Tao Jiusi, she knew that this person was a trustworthy person. Seeing Tao Jiusi's admiration for the eldest prince, she seized the opportunity and said, "Mr. I live in the deep palace, and I have heard about Mr.'s demeanor. My young master is diligent and studious, and this servant begs Mr. to teach him with all his strength."

After finishing speaking, she was about to kneel and kowtow, Tao Jiusi quickly got up, supported Nanny Gui, and said, "Don't worry, Mammy, since I have volunteered to teach the First Prince, I will naturally do my best."

Wei Lingxue is smart and can see through everything. Tao Jiusi's sense of accomplishment as a teacher is also increasing. The master and apprentice come and go, and half a day seems to pass in a blink of an eye.

Tao Jiusi didn't eat breakfast in the morning, and at noon, he was so hungry that his chest was on his back. Then he thought that Wei Lingxue might also be hungry, so he declared a lunch break, and continued to go to school after eating and drinking.

After Wei Lingxue returned to the palace, Tao Jiusi waited and waited, but he didn't see anyone delivering food in the palace for a long time. Only then did he realize that he had disobeyed the saint and came to teach the eldest prince, how could he still be treated as a food manager.

Tao Jiusi looked at the large pot of freshly brewed tea on the table, thinking that there was enough tea, so he quickly poured himself a cup to relieve his hunger.

He drank three cups in one breath, but saw Wei Lingxue go and come back, and the nanny behind him was still holding a food box.

The two entered the study and saw that Tao Jiusi had nothing to eat except teapots and books in front of him. The nanny understood, and said with a smile, "Your Highness is right," she opened the food box and took out the dishes inside. Come out and set it up, and said bluntly: "Mr. Tao, there is really no material in the palace of the Great Highness, only some brown rice and green vegetables to satisfy the hunger, sir, don't be disgusted, let's eat together."

Tao Jiusi has always been hard-working and simple. For him, three meals a day are enough to fill his intestines. The eldest prince and Nanny Gui thanked each other.

Wei Lingxue nodded lightly, took out the pair of bowls and chopsticks and handed them to Tao Jiusi.

Wei Lingxue's clothes were already ill-fitting, and the cuffs barely covered his wrists with the patches. The movement was a little bigger, and a part of his arm was immediately exposed.

Tao Jiusi was as careful as a hair, and his eyes were good. In just a moment, he found out that something was wrong. Before Wei Lingxue could retract his arm, Tao Jiusi grabbed it.

Tao Jiusi rolled up Wei Lingxue's cuffs, and found that there were bruises and purple spots on the white jade-like arms, and there were many places where the skin was broken. Thinking of Wei Lingxue's status in the palace, he asked nervously, "What's the matter?" thing?"

Surprised, Wei Negxue withdrew his arm vigorously, glanced at Tao Jiusi, and said in a low voice, "Don't mind your own business."

Tao Jiusi looked into Shangwei's Xuexue's eyes, sensitively smelled the killing intent emerging from them, and subconsciously let go of his hands. The trembling that he thought was hidden also returned to his body, and his drooping hands trembled uncontrollably.

Seeing that Tao Jiusi was so obedient and frightened, Wei Lingxue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put down his sleeves.But for some reason, there was some loss in my heart at the same time, which was hard to ignore and hard to suppress.

Except for Mammy, this was the first time anyone noticed the bruises on his body.

Wei Lingxue tried not to think about these inexplicable throbbing, and tapped the table with chopsticks: "Eat quickly, it will be cold soon."

Tao Jiusi came back to his senses and looked at Wei Chengxue, who was eating brown rice and vegetables, looking calm and breezy, and suddenly lost his appetite.
