Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

045

Three days later, one early morning, Zhao Weizhen rushed to Huayang Palace where the prince lived.

I haven't seen Xiao Yingzheng for a long time, I miss him.

Moreover, Zhao Weizhen felt that it was necessary to inform him personally about the running of the school.

As soon as she stepped into the threshold of Huayang Palace, Wei Xing came over: "Madam, yesterday the steward of Huayang Palace sent someone to ask, besides the stewed chicken, what else can be stewed?"

Zhao Weizhen: Huh?

The question was asked inexplicably, leaving Zhao Weizhen at a loss.

Seeing her confused, Wei Xing couldn't help muttering: "How precious is this mountain fungus, Ma'am, who gave you the same? Just grab it and throw it in the pot, and you won't be afraid of spoiling it. The manager is afraid of making mistakes and wasting such an expensive mushroom. ingredients, so I specifically asked about the specific method.”

What does it mean to be like her!

Zhao Weizhen was expressionless: "The way to do it is to do it casually."

Wei Xing: "..."

Zhao Weizhen: "Tell the steward, if you cook that thing in a pot, it will taste delicious even if you stew it in his waistband."

Wei Xing: "..."

Between master and servant, Mrs. Huayang came late.

It wasn't just her who came, Mrs. Huayang also brought a large group of people behind her, besides Zhao Ji and Xiao Yingzheng, there was also a young woman who was leading a half-grown child and dressed as a woman.

Seeing this battle, Zhao Weizhen felt that today was not a good day.

"I've met Madam." She saluted politely, in exchange for Madam Huayang's satisfied expression.

Mrs. Huayang from Chu State is loved by Prince An Guojun.She herself is also a very assertive queen, so she has seen the dialogue between Zhao Weizhen and Qin Wang, and she also appreciates Zhao Weizhen.

Mrs. Huayang said to the young woman beside her, "Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to meet Mrs. Meng Kai? Today you finally got your wish."

Zhao Weizhen secretly raised his eyebrows.

The young woman in front of her looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.She is dressed luxuriously, has delicate features, and looks like a well-trained aristocrat in her demeanor.

"I met Mrs. Mi." Zhao Weizhen greeted.

This is Ying Zichu's second wife.Mrs. Mi from Chu State.

"How did Mrs. Meng Wei know my identity?" Mrs. Mi asked in surprise.

"Madam wears the Fire Bird Jade Pendant, so it should be from Chu." Zhao Weizhen replied: "As a Chu person and a woman, and considering her age, I am afraid that only Mrs. Mi, who is next to Mr. Chu, will follow Mrs. Huayang, Mrs. Gui will arrive soon."

Mrs. Mi couldn't help admiring: "I've heard that Mrs. Meng Kai is smart, and it's true at first sight."

Not really.

Now that Madam Mi is here, then...

Zhao Weizhen glanced at the immature child she was holding: this is probably Xiao Yingzheng's half-brother Ying Chengyu.

"Is this Mr. Cheng Yu?" Zhao Weizhen asked.

"Why don't you greet Mrs. Meng Wei soon?" Mrs. Mi asked.

Ying Chengxi, who will rebel against his elder brother in the future, looks like two or three years old now.He was ignorant, and when he heard his mother speak, he only greeted her in a childish voice.

Zhao Weizhen responded politely, and said out of courtesy: "He is a sensible child."

Mrs. Huayang continued slowly: "I wonder if Mrs. Meng Kai thinks Cheng Yu is qualified enough to worship you as a teacher?"

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

Ah this.

Such a proposal stunned Zhao Weizhen for a moment.

She couldn't help but blushed: "Young Master Cheng Yu is a little younger?"

Mrs. Mi smiled and said: "Isn't it good to be enlightened as soon as possible? It is said that in Handan, Mr. Zheng also studied with Mrs. Meng Kai when he was three years old. If Mrs. Madam thinks it is difficult to teach, she can let Cheng Yu listen in when teaching Mr. Zheng." Can."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

Hearing this, Zhao Weizhen looked at Xiao Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng seemed to have no objection to this.He met Zhao Weizhen's gaze, neither resisting nor happy, and there was no emotion on his round face.

After four years of getting along, Zhao Weizhen and Ying Zheng have developed a sufficient tacit understanding: this is what he means by indifference.

But such eye contact, in the eyes of others, doesn't mean that.

——No matter what, it is true that Ying Zheng challenged Zhao to return, his father remarried, and he had an extra brother competing for favor.

Seeing this, Mrs. Huayang smiled and interrupted: "Chengyu is indeed a little younger, but my brother Yangquan has a grandson who is about the same age as Zhenger, and he is also on the candidate list. Please also Mrs. Mengwei Pay attention and see if he has that talent."

If this is the 21st century, and someone declares openly in front of Zhao Weizhen that he wants to go through the back door, she will definitely smash him on the spot.

But in the pre-Qin era, it was impossible to do so.

Political activities at the end of the Warring States Period were essentially games played by nobles and ministers.Nominally, Zhao Weizhen's purpose of running the school is to promote talents for the state of Qin, not to mention the grandson of Lord Yangquan, there are probably countless children with the surname Ying in the list.

What kind of genius can be more reliable than his own family?

What's more, this is just running a school, and it is still far away from court politics.

Zhao Weizhen didn't want to be Qu Yuan with a clean sleeve, nor did he want to be Shang Yang who didn't show mercy.

So these are things that have to be experienced.She responded with a smile: "I will pay more attention to it, Mrs. Xie reminded me."

As for whether to accept it or not?Then see if your child has that ability.

Mrs. Huayang didn't know what Zhao Weizhen was muttering in her heart. Seeing that she didn't refuse, she was very satisfied and said a few more words on the occasion, then took Mrs. Mi and Ying Chengyu away, and specially reserved Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng for a private conversation with Zhao Weizhen. Opportunity.

It's enough to save face.

As soon as the few people left, Zhao Ji let out a long sigh of relief and rolled her eyes impatiently after the servants crowded in front and back had completely left: "Pretentious."

Zhao Weizhen couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

In a place like Xianyang, seeing Zhao Ji showing her true feelings made her feel more cordial.

"What is Madam Weizhen laughing at?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Laughing at you." Zhao Weizhen teased: "Just now you put on a stance, that's a good look, I really taught you to be a nobleman like Miss Ziying. I didn't expect you to be pretending. "

"I didn't—"

Zhao Ji's face flushed, and seeing Zhao Weizhen's smiling face, she reacted: "Okay, Mrs. Weizhen is making fun of me!"

After she finished speaking, she also laughed out loud.

"I didn't ask you to live with a group of Chu people, it's just a formality." Zhao Weizhen said, "What about a Mrs. Mi?"

"That's true."

Zhao Ji was satisfied: "My husband still prefers me."

Gee tut.

As soon as she arrived in Xianyang, Zhao Ji's whole body came alive, she was no longer panicked, and she was no longer confused. Her face was full of spring, like a flower that had been watered with abundance and bloomed more beautifully.

She was already a great beauty, and after being reunited with Ying Zichu, she was so beautiful that she wished to blind Zhao Weizhen's eyes.

However, happiness belongs to happiness, and it is not completely peaceful in Xianyang.

"I heard that Miss Ziying has set off and will be back soon." Zhao Weizhen reminded: "After she comes back, you still have to continue to study with her."

I have to say that it was right to find a female officer for Zhao Ji.

She stood beside Mrs. Huayang, at least on the face of it.Nowadays, it should not be a problem to be able to read and write, and to talk to people.

This is a good change.

When Zhao Ji heard that Ziying had returned, she was overjoyed at first, and then muttered, "I've already arrived in Xianyang, that's good, I don't need to work harder."

What this said is simply a female college student who usually gets a passing grade and doesn't want to prepare for the final exam.

Zhao Weizhen didn't say a word to reprimand, from Handan to now, she also understands Zhao Ji's temperament.

She may not understand the pros and cons of bluntly speaking, so she has to change the method.

So Zhao Weizhen simply turned to look at Xiao Yingzheng.

Looking at each other, Ying Zheng blinked his phoenix eyes, and then spoke first: "Mrs. Mi is very kind to me, very polite."

Zhao Weizhen raised a bright smile: This is what she wanted to ask.

"What does Mr. Zheng think of Mr. Cheng Yu?" Zhao Weizhen asked.

Ying Zheng tilted his head.

This time, he seemed to be confused about the intention of Zhao Weizhen's question.The little boy paused, and then chose his words carefully: "He is only two years old, and he can't even speak clearly."

Zhao Weizhen: "When you were two years old, you couldn't speak clearly, but you had a lot of ideas in your heart."

Ying Zheng shook his head: "He's different from me."

In a word, Zhao Weizhen understood.

It seems that Ying Zichu is not so lucky to have a second genius baby with a super IQ.

Zhao Weizhen turned Mrs. Mi's thoughts in her head again, she picked up her sleeves, squatted () down, and chose to look at Xiao Yingzheng at the same level: "If you want Ying Chengyu to accompany Mr. Zheng to study in the future, would Mr. Zheng be willing? "

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Weizhen: "You can't shirk Mrs. Mi's proposal."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

this kid.

Even if he has already understood that Xiao Yingzheng is smart and sharp, Zhao Weizhen will still be surprised by his sharpness.

"Do you really want to?" Zhao Weizhen asked.

"It depends on Madam." Ying Zheng didn't answer directly.

From this point of view, Xiao Yingzheng really does not dislike Ying Chengxuan.

Too.Thinking about it carefully, Ying Zheng didn't have any special feelings for Ying Zichu, nor did he have any sense of belonging to the relatives of the Chu family in Xianyang.

Today's Yingzheng has a mother, Zhao Weizhen, and a great-grandfather King Qin who misses him. He is no longer the proton who was bullied by no one in the history.

In this way, Xiao Yingzheng and Ying Chengyu will not form any competitive relationship, and naturally they don't care about each other's existence.

Realizing this, Zhao Weizhen felt relieved.

She thought for a while and quickly sorted out her words.

"Does Mr. Zheng understand that Empress Ye Yang, Mrs. Huayang and Mrs. Mi are from the same camp?" Zhao Weizhen asked.

"Um……"

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, his expression became serious.

This is crazy thinking.

"Because they are all from Chu?" After a while, Ying Zheng spoke.

"Yes." Zhao Weizhen nodded: "Not only Chu people, but also the nobles of Chu State. They married for Qin and Chu, married to Qin State, and the sons they gave birth to have the blood of Chu State; their brothers and compatriots, such as Yangquan King, you can also come to Qin to be a minister. If there are more people like this in the Qin court, they will form a force."

Ying Zheng frowned immediately: "Then there are more people in Chu, is Qin Ting still Qin Ting?"

Zhao Weizhen smiled: "Mr. Zheng told me about the troubles of his relatives in one word."

"A foreign relative?" Ying Zheng was confused.

"It's the monarch's mother and wife clan." Zhao Weizhen explained: "Although it sounds like a threat, but—"

"but?"

"Wei Xing, lend me your sword." Zhao Weizhen turned his head.

Hearing this, Wei Xing quickly untied the sword from his waist and handed it to Zhao Weizhen.

The saber in the pre-Qin period was a short double-edged sword. With a little force from Zhao Weizhen, the sharp blade came out of its sheath and lay across in front of her and Xiao Yingzheng, glowing coldly.

"This relative is like a sword."

Zhao Weizhen sent the bronze sword to Xiao Yingzheng: "As long as it is used properly, it is a sharp Wudang weapon. But at the same time, it is also very dangerous. If you don't have enough strength, you can easily hurt yourself."

"How to use it properly?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It takes skill."

After Zhao Weizhen solemnly put away his sword, he replied: "It is better to hold back every step of the way and suppress the blade of the sword with bare hands; if you don't do restraints, you have no rules, and if you don't do it, you will make trouble for yourself. Sword dancing is like this, using your relatives, The same is true. When the current king of Qin, Ying Ji, was young, he ascended to the throne with the support of the Queen Mother Xuan, his brother, and the state of Chu behind him. But after the king of Qin was able to take charge alone, he immediately suppressed the Chu faction in the court , Let him be a minister obediently, and dare not make further mistakes. In this way, it is to use this sword properly, to arm yourself, and to control it properly."

The troubles of foreign relatives are far more than what Zhao Weizhen said.This has been a hidden danger of the feudal dictatorship for a long time.

Even when King Ji of Qin was young, the Empress Dowager Xuan was asked to control the government for a period of time.

But this aspect is irrelevant and will be discussed later.

According to historical records, the future Qin Shihuang also used the nobles of the Chu state. For example, Lord Changping once served as the prime minister for a period of time.

Not from the Chu family, but with the support of the Chu family, I am afraid it has something to do with Lu Buwei.

Zhao Weizhen hopes that Xiao Yingzheng can realize and understand early and learn how to deal with this problem.

After all, in the future, the nobles of the Chu State will indeed be a real trouble, and even directly caused the collapse of the Qin Dynasty.

"What about improper use?" Ying Zheng asked.

Zhao Weizhen didn't answer directly: "Master Zheng, why don't you think about it first, when you grow up, how will you use this sword?"

Ying Zheng was surprised: "But I don't have the support of Chu people."

Zhao Weizhen: "Yes."

Ying Zheng: "Then—"

He still wanted to ask, but before he opened his mouth, Ying Zheng understood.

This is why Zhao Weizhen asked her if she would like Ying Chengxu to accompany her to study.

"If I have a good relationship with Cheng Yu, I can reassure Mrs. Huayang and Mi, and they will treat me as their own." Ying Zheng concluded: "So I should have a good relationship with him, but not too good. If you want to win over, you must be wary."

Listen to this, how can you look like a six-year-old child!

"That's right." Zhao Weizhen affirmed.

"Then madam should take Ying Chengxiu as her apprentice," Ying Zheng said.

Zhao Weizhen also thinks so.

She came to bring Ying Chengyu, at least she wouldn't teach him to be an enemy.

Moreover, if the two children study and play together, and develop a relationship, maybe there will be no troubles in the future?

Zhao Weizhen was thinking wildly in his heart.

"I still don't quite understand." Ying Zheng said again: "What about grandma?"

Zhao Ji Yilin who was named.

Just now Zhao Weizhen had a big talk, she only half understood.But even if you don't understand the key points, you can understand that Mrs. Mi's existence is far more than simply robbing her husband.

Zhao Ji felt that Zhao Weizhen was teaching Yingzheng, and it was really embarrassing for an adult to intervene.But she really didn't understand, so she coyly admitted her mistake: "When Miss Ziying comes back, I will learn from her again."

It's almost there!

Zhao Weizhen knew that such a roundabout explanation would be more effective.

She also discovered that sometimes she told Zhao Ji that the reason she couldn't listen was not because she was dull and closed, but because she felt that she was not so important.

I have a low opinion of myself and feel insignificant, so I don't care about it.

So instead of speaking directly, it is better to start with what she cares about: for example, Ying Zichu, for example, Xiao Yingzheng, tell her indirectly that she is actually very important.

"As long as you are fine, Madam Gui is fine." Zhao Weizhen continued to Yingzheng, "You have no conflict of interest with the people of Chu, so Madam Gui has no conflict of interest."

"I understand." Ying Zheng understood: "Mrs. Xie made a point."

In fact, Zhao Weizhen still has something to say.

Mrs. Huayang wanted to give her the youngest son of Ying Chengxu and Mr. Yangquan, and she was essentially trying to win her over.

If Lu Buwei hadn't supported Ying Zichu and moved from Xianyang, Ying Zichu would not have become Mrs. Huayang's godson.So in the eyes of Mrs. Huayang, Lu Buwei is with them.

She is Lu Buwei's wife, so she is also her own.

But Zhao Weizhen felt that...

King Qin probably doesn't think so.

After meeting the Great Demon King himself, Zhao Weizhen even thought: Is Qin Wangji's preference for Xiao Yingzheng so much just because of his temper?

Does it really have nothing to do with Ying Zheng's mother not being from Chu?

In history, King Ji of Qin had never met Ying Zheng, so Zhao Weizhen's conjecture was impossible to study.

But she knew that the biggest reason why Ying Chengxiu would rebel in the future was the support of the Chu people, and Lu Buwei's power was so great that it threatened the Chu family.

So complicated.

Zhao Weizhen found it difficult just touching one side.

Perhaps her worry was too obvious, Xiao Yingzheng, who was still very calm just now, looked at Zhao Weizhen's face, and couldn't help but tense up slightly.

But he wasn't nervous.

"lady."

The six-year-old boy reached out and tugged at Zhao Weizhen's sleeve, pulling him back to reality affectionately and firmly.

Zhao Weizhen raised his head and met Shang Xiao Yingzheng's black and white eyes.

His gaze was heavy: "Chu people have the power of Chu people, but we can also cultivate our power, and then form a check and balance, and there will be no problems."

Zhao Weizhen blinked.

She didn't mention checks and balances at all, and Xiao Yingzheng thought of it himself.

Moreover, he also understands that running a school is the best way to cultivate his own people.

He also said "we".

For a while, Zhao Weizhen didn't know which point to be happy about.

She felt sad for Ying Zheng, but also relieved.

The sad thing is that Handan's experience made him have nothing to do with childishness and innocence since he was a child. The good news is that Xiao Yingzheng has never let her down.

He was born a king.

"OK."

Zhao Weizhen said briskly: "Young Master Zheng is right, so we must hurry up and find a few children who study together for you. I will screen for Young Master Zheng first, and then Young Master Zheng will come to find new friends in person, okay?"

Ying Zheng thought for a while: "So running a school can't just accept Ying Chengyu. It will be very troublesome to choose the right people."

"I have a solution, Mr. Zheng, don't worry." She said with a smile.

Are you kidding me, it's not easy to screen schoolchildren?

Before time-traveling, Zhao Weizhen had gone through the college entrance examination, which is the culmination of the history of centralized Chinese examinations. Isn't it easy to do a primary school entrance examination?

Accept the crush of exam-oriented education, youngsters!
