There is no phoenix

After seeing off all the guests, Shui Ruoning called Shui Rong to the room and said, "Rong'er, come over and have a look, what do you think of this word?"

Shui Rong approached and saw that it was a scripture, which was written very neatly and with great strength. It should have been handwriting that he had practiced for many years, so he hurriedly said: "Which Qing Kexianggong wrote it? Or some eminent monk from the Imperial Academy or temple?" written?"

Shui Ruoning said: "Rong'er, do you think it was written by a woman or a man?"

Shui Rong said: "This is Zhao Mengfu's handwriting, it must be written by a man."

Shui Ruoning said: "Rong'er, let me tell you, this scripture was copied by the younger sister Yu'er who taught you how to ride a horse today. Her name is Lin Daiyu. She spent two days before coming to us to copy it. For your mother and concubine. Do you know that this sister Yuer is only 12 years old this year. How much do you think she practiced to be able to write like this?"

After hearing this, Shui Rong was so surprised that he couldn't believe it. He picked up the scripture and read it carefully, and asked suspiciously: "Is what the father said true?"

Shui Ruoning said: "What did my father lie to you for? If I still tell you that Yu'er wrote the accounts in block letters when she was ten years old, even your father never thought about it. It was written by a ten-year-old girl. Even let the civil and military officials look at it, and they all thought it was written by a nearly 50-year-old Tan Hualang, do you believe it or not?"

After hearing this, Shui Rong asked in amazement: "Just sister Yu'er who wrote it? I don't believe she can write so well. How old is she? I think she likes to play with her temper so much that she can write two such good characters?"

Shui Ruoning said: "If you don't believe me, this scripture is here, you should take a good look at it. I said that the official documents and accounts copied by Yu'er at the age of ten are with your father. If you have time, go to your father's place to find it, just say Look for Lin Ruhai’s salt tax accounts in Yangzhou. Let me tell you again, this Yu’er, her ancestors are a century-old scholarly family in Gusu, five generations of princes, and her father is Lin Ruhai, the Yangzhou patrol salt censor two years ago. Tanhualang. It’s just that in such a prosperous family, only Yu’er is left as an orphan.”

Seeing that Shui Rong still had some disbelief, Shui Ruoning said, "Rong'er, my father told you to read Yu'er's writing, not to ask you to pay attention to Yu'er. I just want you to know that you are impulsive now. Impetuous. Your father is old, and the father is nearly fifty. To be a competent general, martial arts alone is not enough, you must learn to be calm. On the battlefield, all variables are possible. As a general, you must not Be impetuous and have a cool head."

After hearing this, Shui Rong hurriedly said: "What the father said is true, I will definitely change it in the future."

Shui Ruoning sighed: "Rong'er, you know why General Shenwu and his father have always gotten along well. As long as we go out together, we have almost never lost a battle. But, do you know why General Shenwu can strategize even if he is illiterate? Win a thousand miles? Let me tell you, it is because the two of us match well and make up for each other. General Feng knows his lack of literacy, so he married a woman with a strong book flavor. Now you can also see that Feng Ziying Wu All excellent, that's what I learned in elementary school. Yu'er, a six-year-old girl without a mother, and a nine-year-old without a father, can do this, let alone you, a boy?"

Only then did Shui Rong understand Shui Ruoning's painstaking efforts, and hurriedly said: "Father, I understand, I will definitely work hard in learning literature and martial arts in the future."

Shui Ruoning said: "Okay, I won't say anything else, Rong'er, do you want to go to the palace to see your father? We will return to the barracks tomorrow morning, it's still early, if you want to go, go now."

Shui Rong said: "Then I'll go see Father Emperor now."

Shui Rong came to Chengde Hall and met Shui Ruoyang.Shui Ruoyang took a closer look at Shui Rong, and asked, "Rong'er, how are you doing in the barracks now? Do you want to go back to the imperial city?"

Shui Rong said: "Father, for the time being, I should stay in the Jingxi barracks."

Shui Ruoyang said: "Now you are 16 years old, do you want to marry a young concubine? If you want, father will help you find one, and I will choose the one you are satisfied with."

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Father, my son is still young, and I don't want to get married so early. Feng Ziying is 17 years old, and he even said that it will be a few years."

Shui Ruoyang listened, and said with a smile: "Forget it, father listens to your own thoughts, or others will think that I don't care about you. Most men in the capital get married at the age of 15. Why do you just learn from Feng Ziying? In the military camp In another year or so, you should go back to the imperial city."

Shui Rong was about to resign, when he remembered something, he hurriedly asked: "Father, Father said, two years ago, Master Lin, the salt inspector in Yangzhou, once had a copy of the salt tax account and notes with Father, can Father give it to his son?" Sir, take a look?"

After hearing this, Shui Ruoyang looked at Shui Rong full of puzzlement and said, "Rong'er, why are you suddenly interested in this?"

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Today, the father said that he wanted me to study literature hard, that being a general should not only focus on martial arts, and talking about this very talented Master Lin, so I want to see Master Lin's handwriting."

After hearing this, Shui Ruoyang hurriedly said to Dai Quan: "Dai Quan, go find Rong'er on the bookshelf inside."

After a while, Dai Quan came out with a stack of things.Shui Rong approached, first took a look at the notes, then carefully looked at the salt tax accounts, and then compared them together.Only then did I see that those notes and those accounts were indeed not written by the same person.

Shui Rong asked: "Royal Father, these Lord Lin's handwritings were all brought over two years ago?"

Shui Ruoyang said: "Of course, those were brought back by your father from Yangzhou. Unfortunately, in September of the year when Master Lin sent these things, he died of illness and took office in Yangzhou. He was sick for a year and worked hard on it." For the sake of the public, if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are so dedicated, why worry about the world being not peaceful."

Shui Rong asked again: "Then what do you think of Lord Lin's handwriting?"

Shui Ruoyang said: "Of course they are all good. I use block letters for accounts, Dasu and Zhao style for official notes, and all kinds of fonts are good. You are indeed the Tanhua Lang back then."

Shui Rong said: "Father, you said that a ten-year-old child can also write such a good handwriting, isn't it impressive?"

After hearing this, Shui Ruoyang asked puzzledly, "A ten-year-old child? Can he write such a good handwriting? Your prince brother likes to write so much, and he also admires Mr. Lin's handwriting."

Shui Rong said: "But father, I have seen a ten-year-old girl who can write such good characters."

Shui Ruoyang said: "Rong'er, bring Master Lin's handwriting over here, and I'll take a look again. You said a ten-year-old girl can also write words like Master Lin?"

Shui Rong took a set of accounts and a copy of notes, and put them on Shui Ruoyang's dragon case. Shui Ruoyang looked at the notes, then looked at the accounts, and said to Shui Rong, "Don't Rong'er think Master Lin's handwriting Okay? Where did you see that a ten-year-old girl can write something like that?"

Shui Rong said: "Father, did you know that these accounts were copied by a ten-year-old girl."

After hearing this, Shui Ruoyang asked in surprise, "What? You said Master Lin didn't copy these accounts by himself?"

Shui Rong said: "Yes, father, my father said that because Master Lin was not in good health and was very busy at that time, her nine-year-old daughter copied from the end of November to the first month. Master Lin checked one by one and found no mistakes. Let my royal father bring it back to you."

Shui Ruoyang was very surprised when he heard this, picked up the account and compared it with the notes several times, nodded in praise and said: "You are indeed the daughter of Lin Ruhai from the Lin family in Gusu, I didn't even realize it at the beginning."

Shui Ruoyang suddenly looked up at Shui Rong, and asked, "Rong'er, have you met Lin Ruhai's daughter?"
