Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

046

Mrs. Meng Wei ran an examination school, which caused a storm of discussion in Xianyang City.

In particular, the school examination method and examination questions she set up were too novel, and many guests, guests and envoys, even the nobles and strategists who only stayed in Xianyang for a short time, were very curious.

For a while, I don't know how many people tried every means to find the exam questions, and planned to secretly take them away and use them as talks in other countries.

Zhao Weizhen beat his chest and stamped his feet: She knew it too late!

By the time the gossip reached her, the subject had been leaked for several days.

If I had known about her, I would have publicly bid for the auction myself!

Where can the primary school entrance examination questions be difficult?It's nothing more than Chinese, mathematics and social common sense. Zhao Weizhen thought about it and added a physical education on his own.

The most difficult level is the chicken and rabbit in the same cage and the common questions and answers of Qin Law, which are not technical at all.

After all, the imperial examination system was a system that emerged hundreds of years later. In the pre-Qin period, such things as examinations were really rare.These people discuss nothing more than they feel that it is fresh to have a programmed examination mode, and they want to learn the system and process.

Zhao Weizhen felt very sorry for missing an opportunity to make money empty-handed.

And when the vigorous Xianyang primary school entrance examination came to an end, Zhao Weizhen couldn't care less.

Because she was going to start grading papers, and she had to deal with the invisible problems that came one after another.

For example--

Zhao Weizhen put down the letter in his hand, recalled what happened during the day, and sighed.

After the papers are corrected, the next thing is to prepare for the class.During the day, Mrs. Huayang personally visited Lu's mansion. Seeing that Zhao Weizhen was busy preparing for school and worrying about family affairs, she praised her exaggeratedly and at the same time expressed her distress, and then pushed a female officer beside her out.

"Mrs. Meng Kai has worked hard for Qin, and I am so grateful. Running the school must not delay Meng Kai's presiding over the internal affairs of the family. The female officer Boyao has been with me for more than [-] years, and she can assist Meng Kai in the matter of enrolling in school."—— Mrs. Huayang said so at the time.

Then she grandly assigned the female officer of the state of Chu under her command to Zhao Weizhen.

Too subtle, Zhao Weizhen muttered in his heart.

She thought about it all night, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

"lady."

While meditating, the maid came in cautiously with two candlesticks: "The master said that the light at night is not good, and he was afraid of hurting Madam's eyes, so he ordered me to light more candlesticks for Madam."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

She can't handle this alone.Zhao Weizhen suddenly said: "Put it here, you go and invite him over."

The waitress nodded: "Yes."

She put down the candlestick and went out, Zhao Weizhen just put down the letter, Lu Buwei can enter the door.

He looked like he had just returned home, but there was still an impeccable smile on his fair face, and he asked gently: "Weizhen looking for me?"

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

So you are waiting at the door, so why bother the waitress to send the candlesticks!

Lu Buwei could naturally see that Zhao Weizhen was speechless, but his thoughts were detected, and this person was not embarrassed.

He sat down naturally, and then said kindly: "But you are preparing for lessons?"

Zhao Weizhen: "Yes."

Since it is to run a school, it can't be rushed to the shelves like when it was decided to open the door for Xiao Yingzheng and Xiao Yandan.

There was no imperial examination system in the pre-Qin period, and there was no unified teaching material and progress in education.Each enlightenment school, or the progress of one's own education, depends entirely on the wishes of the husband himself.In other words, although they are all five or six-year-old children, their levels are not the same.

But Zhao Weizhen is not worried: anyway, no matter how high the level is, it is difficult to surpass the genius baby Xiao Yingzheng.

In the past few days, she has sorted out the "Thousand Characters" that was used to teach Yingzheng before. If it involves allusions of later generations, she tries to make up for it with current legends. If it is changed, it will be temporarily deleted.

Then she selected some content suitable for children to understand from "Book of Shang Jun" and "Qin Law" for excerpts and transcriptions, and after thinking hard for a long time, she listed the arithmetic knowledge that elementary school students would probably learn.

As for other things, such as the art of war, theories of a hundred schools of thought, and other trivial knowledge points, Zhao Weizhen decided to take his time.

Zhao Weizhen, who is busy with just preparing lessons these days, is devastated.

She finally understands why there are so few teachers in this era - it's hell hard just to compile textbooks by myself!

Seeing her long case and the letters around her, Lu Buwei asked with concern, "How is the situation?"

Zhao Weizhen glanced at him, did not answer, but directly pushed the letter away, and took out a silk book from underneath.

She handed the silk book directly to Lu Buwei: "Student list."

Lu Buwei took it over, unfolded the slip of paper and glanced at it, then laughed out loud: "Did Mr. Mining pass the exam by himself?"

This Mr. Mining is the youngest grandson of Mr. Yangquan, who is the same age as Yingzheng.

Not to mention Lu Buwei, even Zhao Weizhen was a little surprised.

Zhao Weizhen: "Should be a smart boy."

Mrs. Huayang made it clear before, which made Zhao Weizhen preconceived, thinking that he would be some kind of ignorant little dude.As a result, Mining's test scores were not low.

Qin Zhuan is difficult to write, except for Ying Zheng, a child prodigy, most five or six-year-old children are not very good at writing.Therefore, Zhao Weizhen specially arranged personnel to help the primary school candidates turn the dictation into writing without changing the word. Except for the content of the chicken and the rabbit in the same cage, which is supposed to be a fourth-grade student, Mining really didn't answer it. Other questions, especially general knowledge Questions were answered in an orderly manner.

Lu Buwei said again: "Wang Jian? The Wang family is famous. From now on, my wife will rely on many of them."

Hearing Lu Buwei pronounce Wang Jian's name, Zhao Weizhen couldn't help but feel ashamed.

That is Wang Jian, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, the hero who swept the six kingdoms for Qin Shihuang!

There is no record of Wang Jian's birthday in history, but now it seems that he is only one year younger than Ying Zheng.

When he saw his signature on the examination paper, Zhao Weizhen admitted that he was shocked: that is Wang Jian, no less than Lian Po and Li Mu's generals.

As a result, she is not only a little bean now, but also has to take her entrance exam.

Either way, Zhao Weizhen felt a little guilty.

I don't know when Wang Jian met Ying Zheng in the real history, but obviously, he is taking the exam now, which is the result of Zhao Weizhen's butterfly.

Zhao Weizhen was also worried about whether there would be problems if the two met too early. However, Xiao Wang Jian's sports performance is among the best. It is really biased to refuse to enroll because of his future fame.

After struggling for a long time, she decided to accept Wang Jian.

Regardless of his future fame, it seems that this is definitely a kid who can jump and jump.Zhao Weizhen still hopes that Xiao Yingzheng can have a lively companion by his side, which can influence him to exercise more and be more cheerful.

As for the remaining schoolchildren, most of them are descendants of court officials.Zhao Weizhen slightly relaxed the requirements, and had a few more options, so that Xiao Yingzheng could choose friends by himself.

Lu Buwei put down the letter and tilted his head: "There are not many people, but it's just right. I think Madam has some calculations in her heart."

Zhao Weizhen: "There are too many children and I have a headache."

Lu Buwei smiled: "Since there are concerns, why is Madam worried?"

Zhao Weizhen was silent.

She claimed that she was not so obvious, but Lu Buwei still saw it.

"Please come here for this purpose." Zhao Weizhen said bluntly: "Mrs. Huayang visited today and hired me, a female official from Chu State, as a helper in running the school."

Lu Buwei immediately understood.

"It's said to be a helper, but it's actually a supervisor." He said: "Mrs. Huayang's hand is stretched a bit longer."

That's what I mean.

Zhao Weizhen didn't resist Mrs. Huayang's sending someone over, but how many palace maids did she send?The person who directly sent her was from Chu, so it was a little too blatant.

Seeing that Zhao Weizhen's face was not good-looking, Lu Buwei expressed relief: "At present, Mrs. Chu is Mrs. Huayang's adoptive son, and she naturally thinks that you and I are also hers. At this juncture, it is not easy to turn against her, but Weizhen is worried. Yes, you and I cannot completely depend on Chu people."

"That's natural."

Zhao Weizhen replied: "You are a minister of Qin, not a minister of Chu."

Lu Buwei thought about it for a while: "It's not difficult. In a few days, I will invite a young man surnamed Ying to help you. This can be regarded as a balance."

we can only do this.

It's not good to refuse directly, and you can't let Chu people intervene.

Since An Guojun has many sons, if he randomly grabs one who is not valued, even if it is just as a mascot, it is difficult for the female officials who want to come to Chu to say anything.

But this is only a momentary balance.

"I don't think Mr. Chu wants to be controlled by the Chu people." Zhao Weizhen said softly, "Sooner or later, we have to turn against them and find another way to check and balance."

Lu Buwei said: "Weizhen thinks so, doesn't it mean that King Qin doesn't want to?"

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

He has a clear mind.

"Then I'll leave this to you." Zhao Weizhen said, "Be sure to find someone with a wink."

"Don't worry, Wei Zhen."

Speaking of which, Lu Buwei was about to get up: "If there is nothing wrong, Weizhen will go to bed as soon as possible. Reading at night is too hurtful to the eyes."

This is leaving?Zhao Weizhen raised his eyebrows.

Seeing the change in her expression, Lu Buwei paused: "Is there still something wrong with Wei Zhen?"

"Nothing else." Zhao Weizhen teased: "I just think that my husband is really a gentleman, he shouldn't be in business, he should go to Chu State to listen to Xun Qing's lectures."

Even Confucian scholars did not bring such a gentleman.

The husband and wife have been separated for four years. After the reunion, not only did they sleep in separate rooms, but the husband was so polite that he seemed like an outsider. When he said it, there was probably another wave of weird gossip.

In the past four years, Lu Buwei has no concubines and no actors, so he doesn't feel panicked.

Lu Buwei understood the teasing, but his expression remained unchanged.

If it were any other man, when he heard the words from his wife who had been sleeping in separate rooms, he would have taken it as a hint and rested here.

But Lu Buwei asked calmly: "Does Weizhen want a child now?"

Zhao Weizhen said without hesitation, "I don't want to."

Lu Buwei nodded: "When you first enter Xianyang, you have to start all over again. Finally getting the chance to run a school will not do you any good. So Buwei doesn't want to."

Well said.

She smiled slightly: "Is it not good for me, or is it not good for your great cause?"

Lu Buwei said seriously: "You and I advance and retreat together, what's the difference?"

Of course he didn't want to.

There are plenty of women who can bear children, but Zhao Weizhen is the only woman who can run a school with Qin Wangji's personal approval.Lu Buwei spoke nicely, but Zhao Weizhen knew that it was just because he thought Zhao Weizhen could bring him more benefits than having a son.

This guy……

It's actually pretty scary.

For the sake of power, you can temporarily give up your children.

No wonder he gained power in the future, and he was so rampant that he kept three thousand followers, so brightly that he hindered Qin Wangzheng's eyes and didn't stop.

The more beautiful the human skin is, the more greedy the real jackal face will be.

Zhao Weizhen understands such a simple truth.

"Lu Buwei." She asked: "How big is the profit, will you stop?"

"I don't understand."

"The pinnacle of power is the prime minister." Zhao Weizhen said: "However, few of the prime ministers in Qin's past have come to a good end."

In history, Lu Buwei, after being exiled, feared that his family would be hurt, and died by drinking poison.

Zhao Weizhen didn't want to get involved for him.

Lu Buwei stared at her for a while: "Madam teach me."

Zhao Weizhen: "There is nothing to teach you, you just have to figure it out yourself. No matter how many things you want, no matter how powerful you are, the king of Qin can only give it to you."

Lu Buwei suddenly raised his hand.

His movements were so fast that Zhao Weizhen, who was not taking precautions, did not react at all.

When Lu Buwei grabbed Zhao Weizhen's wrist, she realized that at some point, a small part of her arm was exposed.

Lu Buwei's palm was wide and well-defined, his body temperature was slightly higher than Zhao Weizhen's, and the calluses in his palm rubbed against the inside of her forearm.

The dim candlelight in the room illuminated his face and lengthened his shadow.The black shadow behind the man was stretched and deformed, and projected to the back wall, like a twisted beast.

"Weizhen."

He just leaned forward a little, probing the long case.

The closer distance is enough for Zhao Weizhen to see his own reflection in Lu Buwei's dark eyes.

"Then what is the profit, Wei Zhen will stop?" Lu Buwei retorted.

There was more than one, but Zhao Weizhen understood what he meant.

One court cannot accommodate two powerful ministers. Right now they are allies. After Zhao Weizhen gains power, assuming she can really enter the court as a minister smoothly, they will be competitors.

"Why, are you afraid that I will steal your position?" Zhao Weizhen shot back: "You can rest assured. It is not the monarch who decides who is the prime minister. Don't worry, I am not interested in this kind of seat that can change at any time."

"..."

Lu Buwei just looked at her deeply and didn't speak.

Okay, isn't this just the jackal peeling off the human skin?At least this is much more pleasing to the eye than the hypocritical appearance of smiling.

Zhao Weizhen met his gaze.

What does it mean to speak as you speak, and suddenly reach out?Zhao Weizhen thought for a while and understood.

When writing, she thought long sleeves were troublesome, so she rolled up the sleeves.She is a modern person, she wears shorts and short sleeves in everyday clothes, and she doesn't see outsiders, so she naturally doesn't think there is any problem.

But for people in this era, they are always so tightly packed.

The more you wear, the more positions that belong to the category of spying ().Perhaps in Lu Buwei's view, even a part of an arm can be called naked.

This was basically the first time Lu Buwei saw her body.

So stretch out your hand, the meaning of desire is fully manifested.

"Okay."

Realizing this, Zhao Weizhen smiled slightly: "I thought it was because I was born ugly, you really don't have any interest in me."

Zhao Weizhen didn't mind.

As Lu Buwei said before, don't be afraid of asking for something, but be afraid of asking for nothing.

The two are husband and wife, if he doesn't have any ideas, it will be a problem instead.

Asking for something proves that no matter how scary he is, no matter how persistent his pursuit of power is, he is still a normal man.

When Lu Buwei heard what Zhao Weizhen said, his whole body relaxed: "Weizhen was joking, the lady's beauty is one of the best in Xianyang."

Just open your eyes and talk nonsense.

Zhao Weizhen still has self-knowledge. She is not ugly, but she can't be said to be a stunning beauty.

After all, Lu Buwei let go of Zhao Weizhen's hand, and he returned to his usual gentle and harmless appearance.The jackal retracted into the human skin, Lu Buwei said politely: "Xie Weizhen pointed out that although it is a rainy day, but Wei will definitely reflect on it."

Zhao Weizhen: "Let's go."

Only then did Lu Buwei really get up, and pretended to give Zhao Weizhen a few words before turning around and leaving.

So troublesome.

When Lu Buwei left, Zhao Weizhen let out a long breath.

Zhao Weizhen lifted the arm that was just grabbed by Lu Buwei. His strength was neither light nor heavy, but even after he left, the place he touched was still faintly hot.

After returning to Xianyang, it is not as comfortable as in Handan.

When I was in Handan, I just wanted to survive.Now there is no danger in Xianyang, and there are more plots. In comparison, life has become more complicated.

Have to think about it.

Zhao Weizhen thought carefully about the conversation with Lu Buwei just now: he said that King Qin also intended to suppress the power of the Chu lineage, but he thought of going with her.

In terms of brain circuits and political views, Lu Buwei's thinking has always been in sync with Zhao Weizhen.

This is an intervention point.Zhao Weizhen thought to himself that since he could get rid of the relationship with Mrs. Huayang, if he used it properly, he might be able to get Qin Wangji's further attention.

…………

……

A few days later, in Huayang Palace.

Mrs. Meng Kai's school has finally started!

Those who came to Huayang Palace that day were not only Zhao Weizhen and her newly recruited students, but also many nobles and courtiers who forcibly made excuses to visit the prince, just to join in the fun and find out what happened in the classroom.

Since Meng Yi returned to Xianyang, his father Meng Wu directly threw him to his elder brother, and entered the military camp to practice.

But even so, when he heard that Madam Meng Wei had taken in a few more primary school children, he still squeezed out time and begged his elder brother Meng Tian desperately, and the two brothers found a reason to come to Huayang Palace together.

Prince An Guojun attached great importance to this matter, and specially vacated a side courtyard as a school for Zhao Weizhen.

The two Meng family brothers stood outside the school, making ghosts.Meng Tian looked inside and asked in surprise, "Why are you studying outside?"

I saw seven or eight long cases in the courtyard of the school, and a schoolboy was sitting behind each long case.

When Meng Tian was studying, he never stayed outside.

"Mrs. Meng Wei has this habit." Meng Yi explained: "She said that the weather is not cold, the outdoor air is fresh, the light is good, and reading and writing will not be tiring."

Hearing what Meng Yi said, the other onlookers couldn't help being curious: "Young Lord, what is the black line drawn with charcoal in the yard for?"

Meng Yi: "That's the running track, it's used for physical education classes."

Official: "Sports?"

Don't understand!

Complacent in his heart, Meng Yi quickly explained: "Madam said that reading and literacy is tiring, and if you learn too much, you will not be able to learn. You have to stand up, move around, and play. This is called combining work and rest. When I was in Handan , Gong Zizheng and Yan Guo’s Gongzi Dan are very fond of reading because of this, if I am enlightened, Mr. Shi will also—”

In the middle of speaking, Meng Yi suddenly found that there was no sound around him.

He came back to his senses, stopped showing off, turned around and saw all the people around him retreating to one side.

At some point, there was only an old man with white hair and black clothes standing behind him.

Yes, yes, Qin, King Qin!

Meng Yi people are stupid!

He blinked and stammered: "My lord, my lord—"

"It's okay."

Qin Wangji, who came over silently, waved his hand: "Go on."
