I was a prince in ancient times

As soon as the new year is over, the seventh year of Zhaohua is ushered in.

The matter of the Grassland Department has all been settled, and the Chenwang Mansion, which has been covered with dust for a winter, has finally opened its gate.

In front of the gate, there were still many people who were helping to clear the snow. With the sound of the heavy opening of the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, it attracted many people's attention.

Two guards came out from the door, breathed a sigh of relief towards the palms of their hands, rubbed their hands together, and stood on both sides of the gate of the Prince Chen's Mansion.

Some curious people came over to greet them boldly, "If you dare to ask the two military masters, the princess is in better health."

The Prince Chen's Mansion was closed for a whole winter, and there was no good news, and of course there was no bad news either.

A crowd of people who wanted to inquire about the news had no place to inquire. Now that the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion was finally opened, they had to ask no matter what.

The guard had already had a response, but now he said with a blank face, "After a month of non-stop treatment in the Royal Hospital, I finally saved my life, but this body..."

The guard shook his head when he said this, and the rest depends on the imagination of these people.

When the questioner heard that the front had saved his life, his face was overjoyed, and then his face turned pale again when he heard the words behind him, and he cursed, "God damn grassland department, we are still at the border. Not enough, we have to come to the imperial capital to cheer our princess, and only let them pay five thousand horses, which is really cheap for them!"

"No, the city they returned was completely ruined. At most, five thousand horses would be enough for the concubine's soup and medicine. Mr. Zhai is still not strong enough. If it were Mr. Kou, he might be able to bring back [-] horses. .”

The people living in the imperial capital are more or less concerned about the current affairs.

At this meeting, he talked about the court without shame, which made people laugh and cry.

The two guards stopped paying attention after listening to it.

The water in the court hall is deep, far from what guards and ordinary people like them can comprehend, what they discuss is just superficial.

Lu Chengjia, who had been locked up in the mansion for a whole winter, was relieved to see the gate open.

He held up an oil-paper umbrella to cover the wind and snow in the air, and was about to go out to get some fresh air.

Xie Anlan stopped him and put a cloak of Songhe on him.

Lu Chengjie tilted his head and refused, "I'm not cold."

"You are not cold, but you are not just recovering from a serious illness. You have to pretend to be cold when you go out." Xie Anlan carefully tied the cloak for him and smiled.

Lu Chengjiao's figure was tall and thin, but under the wrap of the cloak, he really looked like a weak willow supporting the wind.

Lu Chengjiao was silent for a moment, then smiled suddenly, "Would it be better to hold Mrs. Tang in my arms?"

Xie Anlan touched her chin, "That's a good idea."

Lu Chuyi looked at his young master, then at the prince, and eagerly handed out a soup lady that he had been holding in his hand all along.

"..." Lu Chengjie, "That's what I said."

"Hold it, it works well." Without a word, Xie Anlan snatched Mrs. Tang from Lu Chuyi's hand and stuffed it into Lu Chengjia's hand. Looking around, she felt that it was quite similar, and nodded, "Go out, Go home early."

Lu Chengjiao had no choice but to leave the Prince Chen's mansion wearing this full set of armor.

As soon as he left the mansion, there were twenty guards behind him. It didn't look like he was going out to get some air, but rather like he was looking for someone to fight.

"Master, where are you going?"

Lu Chu took a look at the many unopened shops outside the Prince Chen's Mansion, and asked.

In the imperial capital these days, it always snows heavily at night, and the early shops that used to set up stalls have all stopped, and many shops that are late, are not in a hurry to open their doors, and the streets are a little deserted.

"Let's go to the school building first." Lu Chengke looked at the snow-covered shops and said.

He did a full set of acting, in order to make his injury appear more real, all the chores in his hands stopped, and no one took care of them.

He doesn't worry about business matters, after all, without him, there will be people running.

I just don't know if the children in the school building will all run away when they hear the news that he is seriously ill.

The boots stepped on the white snow, leaving a long series of eye-catching footprints. There are many people and shops who are shoveling snow on both sides of the street.At this moment, the guards of Prince Chen's Mansion were seen walking in the middle of the street with a noble and thin man in their arms. They all stopped what they were doing and opened their lips slightly.

After returning to the imperial capital, Lu Chengjia often dealt with some shops in the imperial capital, so he also met many people.

Seeing them now, Lu Chengjie also nodded with a slight smile.

"Princess...Princess, are you alright?" An old man saw Lu Chengjiao smiled at him, put down the shovel in his hand, stood not far from the road, and asked with some uncertainty.

"I was lucky to save my life." Lu Chengjiao nodded at him, "I made the old man worry."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Hearing that he was fine, the old man waved his hand, and then asked in doubt, "Why don't you recuperate in the mansion, what do you run out in the cold, don't hurt yourself again."

"It's a bit boring to stay in the mansion, and there are still some things to deal with at hand, so don't worry about coming out to take a look." Lu Chengjie patiently explained to him in a good-tempered manner.

The old man's face darkened, "Healed from a serious illness, don't work hard."

Lu Chengjiao nodded, "Just come out to get some air, and come back as soon as you go."

"That's good, that's good." The old man seemed relieved.

Along the way, Lu Chengjie met many people saying hello and greetings along the way, and Lu Chengjie answered them one by one.

By the time the school building was reached, the streets were already bustling with activity.

Lu Chuyi brushed off the wind and snow on his body for him, with a smile on his face, "In the past, I was like a passer-by in the imperial capital, and no one paid attention when I came and went, but now the longer I stay, the more I feel the smell of fireworks. "

"Yes." Lu Chengjie raised his hand to catch a snowflake, and when he heard what he said, he smiled, "It's different now, I'm also a man with a family."

It is no longer the drifting wind and snow, coming and going in a hurry, leaving no traces from the beginning to the end.

"Yes, yes, the young master now has a prince, of course it's different." Lu Chuyi joked, and pushed open the door of the school building with a smile.

The door was not as Lu Chengjia imagined, all the children ran away, it was desolate.

On the contrary, the charcoal fire is lingering, reflecting the warmth of the room, and those children and beggars cuddle together to read and write.

The teacher hired by Lu Chengji was carrying his hands behind his back to check the knowledge of these children one by one.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door, the teacher and the students looked towards the door together, and their eyes lit up when they saw Lu Chengjiao.

"Princess." The teacher hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"Mister, you have worked hard these days." Lu Chengjia nodded, seeing that there were quite a few children in the school building.

It just seemed that the charcoal fire was not enough, everyone didn't sit in their seats in a regular manner, but snuggled up next to a charcoal brazier.

I knew that there was nothing wrong here during his absence, and someone must be helping to manage it.

The teacher said that Lu Chengjiao glanced at her and smiled heartily, "I can't be hardworking as a princess. I just came here to teach as usual, and I didn't do anything else."

"Oh?" Lu Chengjie raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It's Ding Yu's child." The teacher took the initiative to solve Lu Chengjia's doubts, "After he found out that the princess was seriously ill, he took the initiative to organize these children to save money and sold some charcoal. Not only did he not default on my teaching fee, He also took the initiative to give a New Year's gift, which is a man who can be made."

Lu Chengjie was also a little surprised. He thought that with his serious illness, these undeveloped children would be so frightened that they would take up the property of the school building and run away, but he didn't expect something to happen.

Anyway, it made him feel more or less relieved.

"My concubine wants to call that child over for questioning." The teacher asked with a smile when he saw that his gaze had been on those children.

"No need." Lu Chengjie raised his hand and refused. After all, these children's lives are their own business. If he interferes more, it will break the current balance. It's better to pretend that they don't know anything.

After thinking about it, the teacher understood Lu Chengjiao's meaning, and stopped talking with a smile.

Since there was nothing serious about the school building, Lu Chengjia ordered Lu Chu to make up for what he lacked these days, and then he was ready to go back home.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a bustling sound outside the school building.

The teacher's face turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Lu Chengjiao asked.

"...No." The teacher shook his head, with a wry smile on his face, "It's not the people around this imperial capital. I don't know where I learned that the princess has set up a school here for children, and they can teach reading for free. After learning how to read, I started thinking."

These ordinary people didn't dare to go to the palace to disturb them, they all ran to him as a teacher, secretly trying to cram their own children into this school building to study.

He didn't open this school building, so he couldn't open it.

Lu Chengjiao pondered for a moment, then he understood.

Throughout the ages, studying has not been a trivial matter. Ordinary private schools do not count pens, inks, papers and inkstones for a year, and they have to pay about five to ten taels of silver for Shuxiu, and then count the husband's annual ceremony and the things you need to use. Pen, ink, paper and inkstone cost about 20 taels of silver a year.

This is still an ordinary private school in the imperial capital city. If you want to enter those prestigious private schools, there are dozens of taels, and you can't even touch the threshold.

But here, pens, inks, papers and inkstones should be free of charge, and there is also charcoal fire supply, and there is no need to fix it for Mr., which of course makes people covetous.

I am afraid that many people still think, how can those beggars without fathers and mothers have such good luck, while the children of his family can only watch helplessly.

"Master, what should we do?" Hearing the loud noise outside, Lu Chuyi couldn't help feeling anxious.

Lu Chengqi's brows were calm, "Go and have a look, it's just about money, so why panic?"

Lu Chuyi thought for a while, then nodded his chin, "That's right, the prince said that things that can be settled with money are nothing serious."

After finishing speaking, I was not in a hurry anymore, and followed Lu Chengke's pace and left the school building.

Many people had already gathered outside the school building, and when they saw Lu Chengjiao coming out, they all knelt down to salute.

"Princess." A woman covered in pudding saw Lu Chengjiao, and hurriedly pulled the seven or eight-year-old child who was also covered in pudding beside her to kneel down, begging, "Princess, please forgive me, take pity on my family." child."

The woman had shed tears as she said that, she touched her child's head and said, "He has been studying since he was a child, and he likes to play outside the school since he can walk, and he is even more eager to go to the school age." The woman let him go to school, but the woman's family is really difficult, she really can't afford to pay for the school, so she can only suffer for the child."

Lu Chengjiao listened coldly, without much expression on his face.

There are so many families like this in the world, if he had to take care of it all by himself, he would not be able to take care of it.

This woman is pitiful, she feels that as a princess, she has inexhaustible and inexhaustible prosperity, she feels that she is just picking up childish children, and she will not lose a piece of meat from him.

But has she ever thought about how he would deal with himself if he made such an opening, if all the people in the imperial capital came to beg him.

A school building cannot accommodate so many people.

poor person must have something mean.

Lu Chengjie looked sideways at the child who was being caressed by the woman.

The child's eyes are clear, and the pupils of the eyes are full of curiosity.

If he doesn't agree today, maybe it won't be long before this child will be like his mother, his eyes are no longer clear, and his heart is full of philistines.

After the woman finished speaking, many people behind her took their children by the hand and spoke every word like crying.

They are completely unaware that what they do is called coercion.

Not only does it not make people feel sympathetic, but it is disgusting.

If Lu Chengjie hadn't been a good-tempered person, the guards would have driven them away in anger.

Lu Chengjiao frowned slightly, he was weighing, and the trade-off was not worth it.

The reason why this group of people are so ignorant is because they are not literate, and they only have their own one-third of an acre of land in their eyes and minds, no matter how many things they have, they can't think of it.

If there is no opportunity to change, their next generation, or even the next generation, will be just like them.

Pressing his swollen forehead, he hinted at Lu Chuyi with a glance.

Lu Chu understood in an instant, "The princess is just recovering from a serious illness, and she can't work hard. The princess understands what you are thinking, and will consider it properly. Let's go back and wait for the news."

Speaking of this, Lu Chuyi turned his eyes and said seriously, "Otherwise, if something happens to the princess today, none of you can take the responsibility."

Everyone turned pale, obviously thinking that Lu Chengke had just passed through the gate of hell and was weak at the moment, so they all apologized and left.

It was also they who were fascinated by ghosts. They saw the school building earlier, where they had food, drink and new clothes. On this freezing winter day, the princess also provided charcoal fire.

Then I became jealous, thinking that if my children could read and write in such a place...

That thought is like a flame, rising one by one.

Just now I heard that the princess is coming to the school building, thinking that the princess is willing to take in even those beggars, there is no reason why she refuses to take in their children.

So they pulled their own children over to kowtow, but they forgot that the princess was still weak.

On the way back home, Lu Chengke kept his head down thinking about something.

Instead, Lu Chuyi persuaded, "Master, why should Sheng Mien and Doumidou have the same knowledge as those unscrupulous people."

"Well, I'm in a clear mood." After walking for a while, Lu Chengjia already had a chapter in his heart, and he no longer felt sad about it.

Yu Lu Chuyi ordered, "Turn around, look at the quiet areas in the imperial capital, rent them out and turn them into schools."

Lu Chuyi opened his eyes wide, "Master, do you really want to help those people?"

"Of course it's not a white gang." Lu Chengke shook his head, "It's still in accordance with the school building system, one is to pay tuition with work, and the other can implement a loan system."

"Loan?" Lu Chuyi heard this word for the first time, and it was still a bit new.

"I owe the tuition first, and it's never too late to pay back when their family has enough money. If it's really not enough, I'll pay it back after the child finishes school." Lu Chengjie explained, and he also agreed with this term. What I learned from Xie Anlan is only used now.

"Then how do you calculate the interest?" Lu Chuyi is not stupid. He is extremely sensitive to numbers. The arrears have been due for such a long time, and the price fluctuations are different every year. If there is no interest, the money owed now is likely to be a few years later It's not worth anything.

"Based on market price fluctuations." Lu Chengjia said lightly.

Lu Chuyi pondered, "In this way, many people must be unwilling, after all, they are all here for money."

Lu Chengjie smiled, but didn't care, "I've always given the opportunity. Whether they can grasp it or not depends on their own good fortune. You can't expect others' kindness for the rest of your life."

Lu Chu nodded and said yes, those who really hoped that their children would become famous would definitely be willing to seize this opportunity, if they just wanted to pick up the cheap, there would be so many cheaps for them in the world.

After Lu Chengjie finished speaking, he looked up, just in time to see a pastry shop that Xie Anlan likes to eat opened, and he consciously went to line up.

Xie Anlan doesn't like sweets, and he doesn't even try cakes that are too sweet, but the cakes made by this tea and pastry shop are fragrant and elegant, and they have a special flavor when served with tea, which is what he likes.

It was still early, there were two or three people in the front line, and it was Lu Chengke's turn. He picked up some of everything, and after paying, he turned around and ran into an unexpected visitor.

"What a coincidence, Princess Lu." Xue Ling smiled softly at him.

"Unfortunately." Lu Chengjia put away the pastries, his tone indifferent.

Xueling didn't care about Lu Chengjie's indifferent attitude, her eyes paused on his face for a moment, and she said with a smile, "Looking at Princess Lu's complexion, Xueling is relieved."

Lu Chengjie pursed his lips, but didn't speak, he couldn't figure out what Xue Ling was paying attention to.

"By the way, Concubine Lu, when the spring blossoms in two months, His Majesty seems to organize a spring search, and there is a lot of discussion in the palace. Concubine Lu and the prince will come too." Xue Ling also paid for it. A few cakes, talking to Lu Chengjia like ordinary friends, neither close nor alienated.

Lu Chengjie didn't answer her words, and walked away from the tea and food shop through the thick snow.

Seeing that Lu Chengjie didn't even give her a look, and there was no angry expression on his face, Xueling left with her maid.

Lu Chuyi followed behind Lu Chengjiao, with a strange tone, "Master, the princess is learning from you."

"Learn from me?" Lu Chengjia was surprised, "I have nothing to learn."

Lu Chuyi looked at his young master and hated iron for being weak. Why was he not shrewd when he should be shrewd, and he was shrewd when he shouldn't be shrewd.

"Her clothes today are the same as what you used to wear, young master, except that you are wearing men's clothes, and she is wearing women's clothes, young master. Even the money bag at the waist has the same design and color," Lu Half a step behind Lu Chengjie on the first day of the lunar new year, he started rambling behind him, "And she also bought the same style and the same amount of pastries as the young master."

Lu Chuyi noticed all these details that Lu Chengjie didn't pay attention to, and the more he talked about it, the angrier he became, "She is clearly looking forward to the young master's visit, so that she can go to the prince's side instead of the young master, and she also bought the same cakes, probably I want to find out what the prince likes."

"Yeah." After listening to Lu Chengjiao, there was no reaction on his face, "So?"

"So..." Lu Chuyi dragged on for a long time, and he didn't think about what he wanted.

My heart choked.

Why does he feel that the young master is as choking as the third concubine recently.

"It's better to just ignore people like this." Lu Chengjiao stopped and waited for Lu Chu to take a step or two, looking straight at him, "I just need to be myself so that she can never reach the heights that I can. .”

These words are too profound, Lu Chuyi felt that he couldn't comprehend them, so he asked instead, "Master, I am not afraid that the prince will be attracted by her."

"Don't be afraid anymore." Mrs. Tang in Lu Chengjie's hand was already cold, and he threw it into Lu Chuyi's arms. He breathed into his palm, warmed his slightly cold hand, and said firmly in his eyes, "I Believe in Your Highness, and believe in myself."

After speaking, he quickly walked two steps, and walked to Xie Anlan who was waiting for him at the gate of Chenwang Mansion.

Xie Anlan just looked at Lu Chengjiao running towards her in the snow step by step, and raised the corners of her lips.

"How long have you been waiting?" Lu Chengjie stepped forward and asked.

Xie Anlan embraced her arms, "I just went out, do you have a tacit understanding?"

"Calculate."

After Lu Chengjie finished answering, he took out the pastry he had brought back from his arms and handed it to Xie Anlan.

Xie Anlan removed the greased paper outside, twisted a piece, put it in his mouth, and entered the mansion together with Lu Chengjiao.

"Is your school building okay?" Xie Anlan asked while eating.

"Everything is fine, nothing went wrong." Lu Chengjia smiled and asked, "Your Highness's side."

It was fine if he didn't ask, but when he asked, Xie Anlan smiled wryly, "It's not very good."

"What's wrong?" Lu Chengjiao stopped.

"Busy, so busy that I have a headache." Xie Anlan felt a pain in her temples when she said that, "Originally, the family had a lot of property, but now that the fiefdom has come back, I have to be busy with the fiefdom again, but brother Huang is still doing spring searches. Why doesn't he chop me in two."

Lu Chengjiao thought for a moment, "This year, all the cities of the Yong Dynasty were taken back. The whole country should have celebrated together. Your Majesty has already restrained himself from conducting a spring search."

If other state banquets are held, it will be more troublesome and busier.

Xie Anlan swallowed all the cakes in her hand, looked at Lu Chengjia who was talking, and suggested, "Why don't you help me, otherwise I will definitely not be able to get away from Chunsou."

"If you can't smoke it, you can't smoke it." Lu Chengke didn't want to go to Chunsou anyway, and felt that Xie Anlan had better be busy.

"Do me a favor." Xie Anlan rubbed Lu Chengjia's elbow with his elbow, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

Then Lu Chengjie went to Xie Anlan's study in a daze, sat on his chair, and saw that there was a head-high pending item on the desk, and he was in a state of ignorance.

Xie Anlan put the pastries aside, and then divided the head-high affairs in front of her into two, "One person and half."

Lu Chengjie hummed dejectedly, turned his head down, flipped through a book, and chewed it seriously.

Xie Anlan looked at his serious profile for a while, then lowered her head and started to deal with business.

Not long after, he felt a scorching gaze from above his head, looked up at Lu Chengjie and asked, "What's wrong."

"This one won't." Lu Chengjiao pointed to a certain place in the booklet, and he read it back and forth a dozen times, but he didn't understand what it meant.

Xie Anlan stretched her neck, and after seeing clearly, she took the initiative to explain to him, "Are you meeting?"

Lu Chengjie nodded, then lowered his head and continued on.

Not long after, Kan Ming came to report and saw Lu Chengjia in the room hesitating whether to enter or not.

Xie Anlan nodded to him before Kan Ming walked in. He was startled when he saw Lu Chengjiao who was helping Xie Anlan with official business, but he didn't say anything and started to report seriously.

As soon as he spoke, Lu Chengjiao stopped, not knowing whether to avoid it.

Xie Anlan shook his head at him, and he sat down in peace.

For two months in a row, Lu Chengjiao helped Xie Anlan's study. After a long time, everyone became familiar with it. Even Lu Chuyi went directly to the study to find someone for something.

Unknowingly, the ice and snow melted outside the house, and the flowers bloomed in the warmth of spring. Xie Anlan stretched her body after two months of busy work, propped her chin and looked at the person who was working hard in front of her, thinking that no matter how she looked, she looked good.

"Your Highness can go to Chunsou to collect it now, but I'm happy." Lu Chengjia put down his pen, rubbed his sore wrist, slumped on the chair, and looked at Xie Anlan with a half-smile.

The author has something to say: it’s the end of the month. For the sake of my hard work this month, can I ask for a nutrient solution that is about to expire?
