dressed as a scholar

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month of the imperial court, officials can rest and go home for the New Year. If there is no major summons, they can rest at home and return to their posts to handle government affairs until the fifteenth day of the year.

Generally, officials of the fourth rank and above are often called into the palace by the emperor, and the rest of the officials can rest until after the fifteenth day after their annual leave.

Around the tenth day of the first winter month, the Ministry of Household Affairs, that is, the financial department of the imperial court, calculated the salaries that all officials should receive at the end of the year.Throughout the ages, no matter the common people or the court officials, they have been looking forward to the year-end awards during the Chinese New Year. Emperor Chongming was not a stingy emperor, he would have everything he should have.

Fang Yu heard that the salary at the end of the previous year is twice the usual amount, which is available to every official. In addition, if there is no demerit in the one-year evaluation, there will be additional rewards, such as rice, grain and meat. For practical things, those who have achieved outstanding performance in a year will be rewarded with gold, silver, clothes and even land.

After the Ministry of Accounts was liquidated, all those who had a relationship with the Ministry of Accounts were inquiring.

Fang Yu didn't have much time to inquire about it. What should be announced will always be announced. It's impossible to get a piece of meat if you take a look first. The main reason is that he is late in the morning and doesn't have much expectation for the year-end award.

After the Imperial Academy dealt with the matter of Autumn Hunting and Western Expedition, everyone was free. Except for the leaders of those departments, everyone was counting on their fingers how long it would take to take a rest. Put your mind on the household department.

Fang Yu is not considered a department leader, but he is as busy as a leader.

Today he had to go to the Minister's Study to give an art class to the royal family and nobles. Originally, he thought that he was going to report late, so why would he teach the students after the year, but Master Qi, who was in charge, said that it was the end of the year, the prince Most of the emperor's grandchildren's minds are not on their studies, and they don't listen to lectures and lectures. It's simply the beauty of adults, and the right to relax is to relax.

According to the leader's arrangement, he, who teaches the sub-subject, can only honestly listen to the teacher of the main subject.

Early in the morning, when his colleagues in the Hanlin picked up the tea cups necessary for fishing, he went to the Shang study with a box of charcoal pencils.

At present, there are ten students in the classroom of Shangshufang. They are not very old, between six and ten years old. The older ones have their own places to go, and the younger ones have their own places to go. Only the most mischievous and playful children are there. Inside the classroom.

Although it is said that the princes and grandchildren are not to be messed with, Emperor Chongming is very strict in education. For this reason, the teachers in the Shangshufang are very dignified. And scold the kids.

As parents, they have corrected their attitude. No matter how noble their births are, these children respect and love their teachers very much, and they will never dare to disobey their teachers.

After Fang Yu learned of this, he was very relieved. On the first day he came to class, he saw that the students were all sitting in the classroom waiting for him. This was much more pleasing to the eye than those unruly young masters in Yuncheng .

"Today, it turns out that Fang Xuejiao is teaching you?"

Fang Yu put the teaching aids on the podium and asked the students below.

"Master Qi said that Xuexue Fang will teach us today, and I heard that Xuexue Fang's paintings are novel and good, and it was specially arranged by the father to teach."

The leader is a little prince. Fang Yu looked at the child who was only about ten years old. Although Emperor Chongming's concubines were not very many, all of them were fertile. Seeing that he is already quite old now, but the youngest son is Still very small.

"Fang Xuexue, hurry up and teach with the students. The emperor first took the autumn hunting album to read and explain it to his sons and grandchildren. I have been admiring Fang Xuexue for a long time. The tools are ready!"

Fang Yu couldn't help chuckling when he saw the sketchpads in each student's hands. He really deserves to be the heir of the royal family. What he said was so nice.

It's just that he didn't know that what these children said was true. The emperor liked to be lively when he was old. If they are interested in something, these children will scramble to learn it well to win the emperor's favor, and they are more thoughtful than ordinary children.

"Since that's the case, let's spread out the paper, and the pedants will distribute the pens with you."

Fang Yu handed out the charcoal pencils he brought to the students next to him. Uncle Lin Xuan sent him a lot of pencils, and even improved and upgraded charcoal pencils.He handed out pens to every student until the last one.

The students are very interested in charcoal pens. In the first class, he taught them how to use the pen and how to protect the sharpener. When the tools were ready, he first drew two simple potted plants as a model painting, so that the students could experience painting After the process, let the students go to practice the lines.

"Smooth lines, thin at both ends and thick in the middle are the best."

Fang Yu asked the students to practice on the paper after assigning the task, thinking that when he was learning sketching, he was dominated by lines and it was miserable.The students had never been exposed to this kind of drawing method, so they were very interested and couldn't wait to write and draw on the paper. Fang Yu got off the podium and wandered around to watch the students sketch on the paper.

He is patient and patient, good at discovering the strengths of the students' progress, and giving more praises. Students love to praise.

Walking to the last row, Fang Yu stood behind Ji Jin. Seeing that he didn't draw a single line, he just poked a dot on the paper. He chuckled and said, "The pen is too hard."

"Fang Xuexue, Mr. Jin likes to ride horses, shoot arrows and dance swords. It is very rare for such a small pen to not break in his hands." The boy sitting at the next table laughed distortedly. They all know each other well, the one who made fun of Ji Jin was fourth master's second son, who also has a temper like his father's, with a vicious mouth and a straight heart.

"The son of Yan Qi cannot speak when he is painting."

Ji Yanqi suppressed his laughter, and slapped Fang Yu on the mouth with a smile, admitting his mistake.

There was no expression on Ji Jin's paralyzed face, outsiders couldn't see any emotional changes in him, and they didn't know whether he was used to this kind of teasing, or he didn't take it to heart at all.It's hard for outsiders to tell, but Fang Yu still caught a glimpse of the child's paralyzed emotions from the strength with which the child sharpened the pen.

He gently spread his hands, motioning for Ji Jin to put the knife and pen in his palm.

Ji Jin raised his eyes and glanced at him, those eyes like Chu Jingfei's were not filled with so much thoughts and were still very pure.Ji Jin paused, and gave Fang Yu the pen and knife.

"If your strength is stronger, you can leave the tip of the pen thicker, and you can sharpen it later when you can use lighter strength."

After Fang Yu finished sharpening the pen, he said to Ji Jin, "Try again."

Ji Jin originally thought that Fang Yu was going to take the pen back, but he never thought that he would sharpen the pen for him himself. He picked up the pen, but the pedant standing beside him suddenly stepped forward, and naturally held his hand Teach him to draw lines, even if he is a very calm and calm person, he can't help turning his head to look at Fang Yu in surprise.

"Concentrate on it, and remember how the pedants teach you how to write."

Ji Jin didn't have much expression on his face, but he became a little nervous in his heart, and followed Fang Yu to draw lines with concentration.

"Your Majesty's vision is vicious, and Fang Zhuan is really a good scholar who is patient and treats everyone equally. I beg your Majesty's personality to be cold, and few scholars are willing to teach in such a meticulous manner."

Master Qi followed behind the emperor who watched the children study silently, and praised in a low voice.

The emperor made no remarks.

Ji Yanqi, who was at the side of the classroom, saw the pedant teaching Ji Jin like this, and suddenly felt sour in his heart, and became jealous: "Scholar, students don't know how strong strength is, so you should teach the students."

Fang Yu stopped teaching Ji Jin, turned his head and smiled and looked at the pouting Ji Yanqi: "It's a good thing for your son to study and improve."

The emperor put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked back, and said leisurely: "Whoever's son is like that."

When Fang Yu’s class was about to eat at noon, the students had already tried to paint by themselves. They were all the same potted plants. He put away the drawings and left a small homework for the students, so that one person could paint two potted plants. Ten small things, I will collect them in the next class.

All the students are the same as the students of the later generations. They still have unfulfilled interest in the sub-subjects, and they have headaches in the main subjects. After taking this painting class taught by Fang Yu, it will take years to continue. Ask some miscellaneous questions in front of Fang Yu.

For example, Qiu Lie’s picture albums are all drawn by him, when will they be able to draw in a pedantic look, and when will they be able to learn to draw figures and so on... Ji Jin looked at Fang Yu surrounded by all the students, stopped and took a look from afar , he frowned unobtrusively, and pursed his lower lip slightly, after all, he still didn't go forward, turned around and left with his belongings.

Fang Yu was also relaxed after today's class. After dinner in the afternoon, he reported to Master Qi about his work, and handed over the students' drawings to the master. It was originally a hobby class, and there were no high requirements.He went back to Hanlin to touch fish for a while, and soon got off work.

In the remaining days, Xiumu's former household department first issued salary rewards from the cabinet, and the payment to the Imperial Academy was the last day before Xiumu.

Apart from receiving twice the salary, Fang Yu himself has not been recorded for bad behavior. Being promoted means that his political achievements are good. For this reason, he also received special meat from the royal family, such as deer and bears. Scarce and precious meat is counted by the catty, and cattle, sheep, pigs and horses are counted by the carcass.

Not only that, but he also has a small bag of broken gold, which looks seventy-eight or eighty-two, as well as silk and several precious pens, inks, papers and inkstones, which are very valuable. The reward of being a pedant means that he can enjoy the treatment of two departments.

Fang Yu is beautiful. Although he has more things to do than other people in Hanlin, the benefits are also very intuitive. The treatment in Shangshufang is really good, which is more comfortable than Hanlin.But if you take all the departments as an example, Hanlin's remuneration is better than that of some other departments.

In short, he had a good time at the end of this year.

Today, during the next court, there were more than one carriages that came to pick up the ministers' homes, and they were specially used to carry the end of the year. Naturally, most of them were high-ranking officials, like some small officials, even if they were able to collect all their belongings by themselves. Take it back, the difference is full again.

Fang Yu took back the things issued by the imperial court and handed them over to Qiao Hezhi for integration, such as silk and silk. The most important things should be sealed or sent back to Yuncheng to send to the people in their hometown, or kept for their own use. The things rewarded by the royal family are precious in kindness The word pet.

Xiumu didn't get a good rest after that, and the full moon feast for the little one at home was coming soon.
