[Red Mansions] Lin's first genius doctor

When Mrs. Wu was behind, Princess Shao pulled her natal sister-in-law and whispered: "What do you think of the girl my lord and I are optimistic about?"

Although Mrs. Wei is not much older than Princess Shao, but her sideburns are mixed with silver, at first glance she seems to be from the same generation as Princess Shao.

Mrs. Wei saw this sister-in-law with a temperament different from the rest of the world. She was pampered like a child since she was young, and she just smiled at this moment: "Prince Wang asked this question, and I can see that you are very satisfied."

Concubine Shao's eyebrows were bright, and her expression of joy was obvious: "Look at that little face, put it outside, not only my daughter-in-law, but also my daughter, won't anyone believe it?"

He also talked about his son: "Although Li Heng's child is a young child, I raised him like an eyeball when he was young, but he was never spoiled by me--it's not that my mother-in-law is selling melons and boasting, Li Heng is really kind and kind." A good boy with a pure and filial heart, the most rare thing is that he has a good temper, and he will be very good to his wife in the future. Because of this, I have to find a good girl for him to be at ease."

"But my sister-in-law also knows the regrets of my life-the prince is good in everything, and he didn't say anything to me, but his appearance is a bit different..."

Mrs. Wei wanted to cover her mouth: "My aunt, you have been married to the prince for 30 years, and the husband and wife live like honey, why do you still miss this one? Besides, the prince is a royal relative, so it's hard to say what he looks like." Talk about it." To say Prince Shao means to talk about the current royal family, how dare you say that we dare not listen!

The concubine laughed sassyly: "There's nothing to say about it. He keeps talking about it all day long. My sister-in-law has seen it too. Jun'er, who I went to, looks like my father."

Now when talking about the eldest son who died at a young age, the concubine came out sadly: "Jun'er grew up day by day, as if he had lost his shadow, the lord beat his chest and stomped his feet in annoyance. Fortunately, Heng'er followed me , I naturally don't want to be sloppy with this wife."

Mrs. Wei is helpless, her parents have made up their minds that appearance is the first priority, so there is nothing to say about her as the eldest aunt.

What's more, it makes sense when you think about it: with the status of Prince Shao's mansion, the concubine chooses to be a daughter of a famous family, but there is no one who is completely well-matched. It is also appropriate to focus on appearance.

Princess Shao's tone was full of expectation: "I have asked Yang Qi'er to follow those girls—I am already very satisfied with her appearance, as long as she is a sincere and kind-hearted child." Anyway, their Prince Shao's mansion doesn't need to be glamorous. social character.

As long as the heart is good, as long as Zhou Liheng is good, the princess will feel at ease.

Zhou Liheng's disposition, King Shao always used it to beat one or two, it was the hatred of iron that could not be made into steel under the love of his son-in-law: wouldn't such a kind heart be bullied by others?

With King Shao's temper, just thinking about his son being bullied would explode on the spot.

So the couple reached a consensus early on that the concubine Shizi must be a good person, otherwise her son might be eaten whole.

Concubine Shao and Mrs. Wei went to the fasting room chatting gossip, and several monks had already been waiting there.

Let's say that monks and Taoists in this dynasty did not have different Taoisms in Lin Jiang's impression.At Qin Keqing's funeral that day, it is said that there were fifty eminent monks and fifty eminent Taoists who performed good deeds on the altar.

The atmosphere is quite friendly and harmonious.

It can be seen that the custom of this dynasty is that rich and noble families pay equal attention to monks and Taoists. They burn incense to the Buddha for a while, and donate money to the Taoist ancestor for a while.On important occasions, both sides are invited, and Taoism and Buddha are equally respected.

It is very common for the wives and grandmas in the family to believe in different gods, and they will not quarrel because of this.

For example, in Jia's mansion, Jia's mother followed her husband Rong Guogong to become a believer, and finding a substitute to become a monk also entered the Taoist school.Mrs. Wang and others believed in Buddhism more, and paid tribute to Buddha lamps to Shuiyue Nunnery on a monthly basis.

This probably also has something to do with the idea of ​​governing the country of the imperial concubine and the grandfather. They don't want the Taoism and Buddhism to dominate and earn too much faith from all living beings.It is true that both sides can be used in such a mix and match, but the old man is more at ease because both sides are not in the early stage.

Sure enough, as he wished, Buddhism and Taoism did not become the professional beliefs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even gradually became a tool for the dignitaries to use for peace of mind.

It can be said that today's Taoist temples and Buddhist schools in central Beijing no longer have the character of eminent monks and high Taoists.

And Princess Shao obviously doesn't trust the two sects very much.

Let the eminent monks and Taoists talk about the Dharma and recite the Taoist scriptures, she just walked over and offered incense to the Mount Tai stone on the case.

Not for the past, but for the future.

The deceased was gone, and she had to be strong to protect another child.I only hope that Grandma Taishan will bless Liheng and make everything go well for Liheng.

Now that her fancy daughter-in-law has also appeared, she only hopes that her son can get rid of the unexplained illness and get married smoothly.

After the wish fulfillment ceremony was completed, Princess Shao waved her hand lightly, and the servants presented two plates of gold and silver, one for monks and Taoists, and led them out from the corner gate.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Mrs. Wu sitting on the top chair and was about to take a nap, which showed that she lacked interest.

It was Mrs. Wei who stepped forward and gently pushed Mrs. Wu: "Let's go, let's go and see what the girls are playing."

Only then did Mrs. Wu wake up from her doze, and she nodded subconsciously: "Yeah, this Buddhist scripture is very good."

Besides, Princess Shao's banquet is not the same as the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in the palace, and the girls are thrown into the garden for nothing.

She had already asked people to prepare the hot tea stoves inside and outside the house, and prepared all kinds of girls who like boudoir games, not to mention the Qintai chess game, and even Shuanglu throwing pots and other things.

In addition, some other pastimes were prepared for the unsociable girls such as flower arranging, red painting, and bird teasing. For this reason, they specially ordered people to move in more than a dozen pots of greenhouse flowers and shrugging beauty vases, and several shelves of thrush parrots. , and even arranged a pool of freshly put fish and fishing rods, etc. It can be said that the preparations are complete.

Whether it is a cheerful and generous girl or a shy lady, who is gregarious and not gregarious, there is always a place to play without embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived, they saw that the girls were gathering together, and nothing around them moved at all.

Princess Shao couldn't help but wonder: "Let's keep quiet, go over and see what they are talking about, they are so absorbed."

When I got closer and listened, it turned out that the doctor Xiaolin was explaining how the elderly elders are prone to pain.

The first thing she brought up was fifty shoulders: this is a very common aging disease. Many people in their 50s and 60s will suffer from this shoulder disease, and some of them can't even lift their hands.However, after a few years, the disease gradually alleviated, and the shoulders in my 50s were better than those in my [-]s.

At this moment, Lin Jiang asked Daiyu to sit on the plum-blossom ebony fine-toothed stool, pointed out the corresponding shoulders, and then gently massaged her.

This is a set of massage techniques that she learned from the deputy of the Horse Court, which is known as his family's "secret family recipe".The deputy of the horse courtyard advertised so much, so Lin Jiang also led him to pass on the "secret recipe handed down from family".

It is related to the method of maintenance and massage, which is the foundation of many imperial doctors in the imperial hospital. Many of them are not good at curing diseases, but recuperating.

And Lin Jiang's learning is also more effective: she can see the blood vessels and meridians of the human body, and of course massage will be more effective if there is a blockage.

Although these girls can't see it, it's good to just learn some tricks and go back to honor their parents.

These girls come from famous families, but they also have their own difficulties. Whose family does not have some brothers and sisters from concubines, and the whole family competes for the favor of their father, and the concubines have the pride and respect of concubines. filial piety.

Princess Shao came over and said with a smile: "You are all filial children." Then she sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have a daughter, so I can't enjoy this blessing."

As soon as she said this, no one else could answer—if another wife and grandma said it, Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wu would of course comfort her: "It's okay, you have the blessing of a son who wants to be a daughter-in-law in the future."

But Prince Shao's son is a prodigy who falls to the ground as soon as he hears about marriage, whoever dares to say this, wouldn't it be a crime to make someone else's child sick.Even Mrs. Wei, who knew what Princess Shao thought about her daughter-in-law, did not dare to say this clearly.

So Mrs. Wu turned a corner abruptly and beckoned her granddaughter to come over: "Have you learned it? Go home and massage me and your mother."

Miss Wu Liu smiled sweetly with two dimples: "Don't worry, grandma, granddaughter is serious about learning."

Princess Shao also came down this step, and greeted all the girls: "I will take you to have fun."

Princess Xiang was the most excited, and immediately followed: "Aunt and grandma have the most fun here. The first time I learned cricket fighting was from my uncle and grandma. What is there to do today?"

The girls just smiled and followed behind Princess Shao, and behind them followed their own maidservants, a large group of crows.

However, Concubine Shao led them all the way through the Yimen Gate, and saw that they were going out of the back house to the front yard.

Many girls stopped in fear: they were all women from aristocratic families, and they knew from childhood that their fathers, brothers and other men lived in separate households in the front yard, and they were not allowed to pass.Because there are not only relatives and men in front of them, but also some out-and-out strangers like Qingkemenkexianggong, it is very bad to bump into them.

Princess Shao also stopped and smiled and said: "Don't worry, I told the prince early today that I would free up his three outer study rooms that have never been used for us to play, and the front yard is cut off from Lan Xiangchu, and no outsiders are allowed." I came here. Besides, the prince is not at home today, and he took the Qing guests from the mansion out to shoot and hunt, and there is no one idle." Especially the two concubines, Princess Shao asked King Shao to take them away.

Ever since Li Heng told about the Eighth Prince's attempt to climb over the wall, Princess Shao was very cautious about it.Since he wanted to take the girls to play, he simply sent all the men away.

Princess Xiang couldn't help asking: "Why do you want to go to the front yard?"

Princess Shao pointed at Lin Jiang: "Do you think she is wearing an official uniform?"

The girls were taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lin Jiang, and nodded involuntarily.I can't hide the envy in my heart, envy that she can go out, compete with men or even overpower them, and envy her in this blue and capable official uniform.

Princess Shao smiled and said: "When I was young, I stayed in Jiangnan for a few years, and occasionally I would take off my earrings and put on men's clothes to go out with my brother."

Princess Xiang was so happy that she couldn't help interrupting the elder: "Are you going to take us out to play in the street?"

Princess Shao glanced at her with a smile: "You are such a group of children, I dare not take you to the streets. Besides, this is the capital city, not a small town in the south of the Yangtze River."

The princess is embarrassed: "I am talking too much."

Princess Shao didn't care too much, she just smiled and said: "Today I ordered people to prepare a lot of young man's clothes, and you should also change into them, and we will be like their men in the study outside, writing poems, essays, paintings and discussing current affairs?"

All the girls are happy.

To be honest, except for a noble girl like Princess Xiang, other girls dare not go out. Even if the court allows and even encourages girls to go to the streets during the Lantern Festival, the ladies will still choose to stay at home to be safe.

This is at the foot of the emperor in the capital. If something happens, it will be spread throughout the capital the next day.

But when they heard that they were playing as young masters in the mansion, the girls all became interested.

They are in the mansion, and they only watch their brothers attend classes in the front yard all day long. When they are old enough, they can pass the imperial examination and go out to socialize, but they can only be locked in the second door day after day to do needlework. Itchy, I also want to try to be a man - these are spoiled girls.

There are also girls who are depressed and resentful, such as Tanchun, whose eyes are even brighter: they have suffered some unspeakable grievances and troubles at home, and they always think that if they are men, they can study and become officials, go out and start a career , don't be trapped in the back house!

So even if they can be a man for a day, or even just a pretend thing, it is a kind of comfort to them.

It seems that in the dark life, a crack was opened, allowing them to breathe a little bit.

Lin Jiang was stunned when he heard it: I didn't expect Princess Shao to be the No. 1 cosplayer in the world.

Princess Shao led the girls through the Moon Cave Gate, then turned to look at Lin Jiang, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you first, I can't prepare official uniforms for you, so I have to wear homely robes. Don't be disappointed when we see you later."

All the girls said: "Naturally, naturally."

Only the imperial court has the right to appoint officials. If Prince Shao's mansion prepared dozens of official uniforms, it would not be possible.

-

The three outer study rooms are located in the northeast corner of the front yard, quite secluded.

As soon as Lin Jiang entered, he saw that there were all cabinets on the roof, which were full of books, obviously of different ages, but the tables and chairs were all very new, without any trace of use.Sure enough, it was Princess Shao who said it was an unused clean study.

Presumably, Prince Shao's Mansion occupies a large area and there are not many masters, so this is an unused outer study.

Sure enough, the concubine said: "Don't worry, all the items are brand new, and no outsiders have touched them. This is also a special place for our palace to store books on weekdays, and no one usually comes here."

Then he pointed to the inner room and said with a smile: "There are dozens of clothes racks inside, you just go in and pick them out."

The three rooms of the outer study are connected, only half of the Duobao Pavilion is separated, it looks very spacious, and the girls can see the clothes racks in the inner room at a glance.

Still starting from Princess Xiang, the girls all walked in.

Lin Jiang also took Daiyu's hand and walked inside.

When I saw it, I couldn't help feeling: Princess Shao not only plays novelty, but also plays exquisitely!

There are more than a dozen girls in total, but she has prepared no less than fifty sets of men's clothing, ranging from ordinary scholar's robes to brocade robes for nobles and eunuchs, and even brocade hats and mink furs for hunting. It is completely up to you to choose!

Lin Jiang suddenly found the feeling of going shopping in the previous life.She pulled out a piece of clothing and looked at it, and felt that Princess Shao was careful.

These men's robes are obviously outerwear, and they are deliberately made looser.Most of the girls are slender, so they can completely wear them without changing clothes, avoiding inconvenience and catching cold.

Besides, there were seven or eight nuns waiting beside the clothes rack, and seven or eight small tables and bronze mirrors were placed in front of them, apparently waiting for the girls to change the men's hair.

Lin Jiang asked Daiyu: "Which one does my sister want to wear?"

Daiyu's eyes were fresh: "Sister Jiang, do you like this one?"

Lin Jiang couldn't help laughing when she saw it: Sure enough, in the eyes of every girl, her father is the first idol she admires.

The dress that Daiyu saw at first glance was a moon-white gown, the material was very good but there were not many decorations, it was rather low-key and luxurious—especially like what Lin Ruhai usually wore at home.

Daiyu really liked it at first sight.

Seeing that Daiyu had been chosen, Lin Jiang turned to look at the three girls of Jia's family.

Tanchun chose a black and heroic robe, cut neatly, it looks like Wen Neng writes poems with a brush, Wu Neng mounts a sword, while Yingchun is always soft and modest, hesitating all the time, as if waiting for others to choose She didn't dare to take the rest until she finished.

As for Xichun, she had a very clear goal, and went for a piece of black clothes, Lin Jiangxin said: Princess Shao has prepared everything, even monks and priests' clothes, it's hard for Xichun's sharp eyes to see it at a glance.

Daiyu also turned her head, seeing that Xichun had actually chosen Buddhist black clothes, she was slightly taken aback.

Lin Jiang smiled and said: "It's okay, look at Princess Xiang is still gesticulating with a Taoist robe."

Sure enough, Princess Xiang took a Taoist robe and whisk, and said seriously to the little sister next to her: "This fellow Taoist, remember to call me Xianchang later."

The girl next to her: ...Princess, you entered the drama very quickly and deeply.

Princess Shao watched with a smile on her side, her eyes were shining brightly, as if she remembered her girlhood.

Mrs. Wei next to her also showed nostalgia in her eyes, and she said to Princess Shao: "When I first entered Wei's house, the princess came to see me as a sister-in-law, pretending to be a man. At that time, I was taken aback-why is my uncle so abrupt? He came up to hold my hand."

At that time, Mrs. Wei, who gave the new daughter-in-law a lady, couldn't fix it: what's the matter with this little uncle!Do I want to get rid of it?

Princess Shao smiled sweetly.

"You can comb your hair or not, don't be restrained, this is just for fun." Naturally, some girls are shy or have embarrassing things at home, so it is not easy to play freely outside.

Princess Xiang took the lead again, and found a nanny to sit down before: "Quickly, give me a smooth Taoist hair."

The nanny was shocked by the princess's adjective.

With her as an example, most of the girls even changed their hair accessories - anyway, the nuns of Prince Shao's Mansion are very confident that they will be able to comb the girls back to their original appearance when the time comes.

--

Princess Shao waved her hand, and some servant girls came over with the rhyme card box.

Since he is pretending to be a man, he naturally doesn't play with his daughter's usual things.

Princess Shao sat on the main seat of the study, and she didn't need anyone to wait on her. She spread out the paper and ink by herself: "I wanted to take a sentence from the Four Books like their men's imperial examinations, and write it according to the stereotyped questions. Then I thought about the girls. If there are fewer people who read the Four Books, then it is better to write poetry.”

Seeing the chief of King Xiang County speak, Princess Shao laughed: "Do what you know, and judge what you don't know."

The princess of King Xiang shut up with peace of mind.

Let’s say that in any dynasty, when the country was founded, the country must be established by force, but with the stability of the world, the status of civil servants who can govern the country and enrich the people will rise.

The royal family also inevitably paid more and more attention to cultural education.

Therefore, even if the lady of the official family is so old-fashioned that she believes that "a woman's ignorance is a virtue", she will not let her daughter be blind if she can't read big characters. Xian Shu.

So among the girls present there were some who could not write poetry, but none who were illiterate and could not read poetry.

Princess Xiang smiled and said at this time: "That's right, we don't know how to do it, and we will comment on the good and the bad - after all, we have never eaten fat pork, and we have seen fat pigs run away."

Girls who are about to write poetry but are compared to pigs running away:  …

Different from King Shao's reputation as an overlord in Beijing, this Concubine Shao has a very good reputation in Beijing, full of fame, and these girls can rest assured to develop their talents.

Just look at the fact that Lin Jiangchu entered the capital last year, which sparked a war between the wives of the Beijing faction and the Southern faction, and she only stood against the wife of the Southern faction, and she was able to overwhelm the wives of the Beijing faction, so you can see what she said portion.

The girls are also willing to make a good reputation with Princess Shao.

They don't do any blind dates these days, and they don't have any self-expression.

Aside from being able to get to know each other, marriages in aristocratic families mostly rely on reputation passed down through word of mouth. Only when girls have a good reputation can a family have hundreds of daughters.

So these dozen or so girls, no matter how good they are, still write a lot of poems, and they always have to show one or two.Only Princess Xiang, Yingchun and Lin Jiang came to Pingshi.

Yingchun was dumbfounded on the spot: she didn't want to hide her head, but she didn't expect that there are so few people commenting on poems now, so she stands out here.

With her temper, Yingchun trembled at the thought of asking her to judge the poems of these noble ladies in a moment, wishing to find a hole to get in.

She would rather go to the bottom of the poetry side!

Yingchun's bewilderment and embarrassment were noticed by Daiyu, and Daiyu asked softly, "Would Second Sister want to come and try?"

Yingchun seemed to be pardoned, and just about to move, she couldn't help but glance at Princess Shao shyly and timidly.

Concubine Shao smiled: "It's the end of the game, what's the matter." Then her eyes flicked past Daiyu.

This is a child who can understand others' embarrassment.

Although the Lady Yang she sent had not had time to report to her about Miss Lin's behavior in detail, from this short contact, Princess Shao felt that this child was extremely intelligent and clear-minded.

She trusts her own eyes.

I just hope that her Heng'er can get rid of that strange disease.

Princess Xiang saw Yingchun running away, so she couldn't help but pouted, and looked at Lin Jiang: "Doctor Xiaolin, it's just the two of us."

Lin Jiang smiled and said: "Princess, isn't there a princess and two wives here?"

Princess Shao's temper was obviously brought up by her family as a man, and her education level was not bad.And Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wu are both from a scholarly family. They have lived such an old age, even if they don't know how to write poems, it is definitely enough to comment on the poems of the little girls from the perspective of vision.

She and Princess Xiang are the two people who are fishing.

Good poems don't need to drill down to words, just look at the poems of poets and poets, which ones are not popular and passed down through the ages, and it's not that the more allusions are used, the better the words are.

With years of compulsory education, she can tell good from bad even if she doesn't know how to compose poetry.

The concubine became a rhyme official, picked out the rhyme from the box with her own hands, then pointed to the clock and said: "You have to be interested in writing poetry, and don't be in a hurry. Just wait for the clock to point to six and then come back to write poems. Are you willing?" It’s fine to read a book in this room, or it’s fine to wander around the yard.”

Although the concubine said so, most of the girls were thinking hard in the room, guarding the pen and ink, and scribbling at any time.

There are also those who now go to read the rhymes of poems and books, or ask the friends next to them for one or two allusions that they can't remember clearly.

Daiyu, on the other hand, walked into the courtyard, caressed the phoenix trees, and looked at the winter scenery.

Princess Shao watched her walking and demeanor, and she became more and more satisfied - whether a person has aura or not can be seen at any time.

Just taking advantage of this opportunity, he called Yang Qier to his side, the master and servant bit their ears, and they were also talking about Daiyu.

Lady Yang just fell down because of joy, after this incident, she saw Daiyu's affairs more clearly, and now she explained to the princess one by one, both master and servant smiled.

Mrs. Wei, who was sitting close to her, could listen, and also nodded and smiled: Li Heng's marriage this week is not only a big problem for Prince Shao's residence, even the Wei family is very worried.

At this moment, Mrs. Wei and Princess Shao are in the same mood: good girls have been chosen, and I only hope that Zhou Liheng will not fall ill!

Mrs. Wu sat farther away, and was chatting with Lin Jiang about family routines and medical principles. The old man became a doctor after a long illness, and he cared about many maintenance secrets. Lin Jiang also recommended to the old lady that she and Daiyu wanted to compile it. A medical book made.

Mrs. Wu smiled: "Then I have to order a few books."

Lin Jiang talked with the old lady for a while, and when he looked away, he saw Daiyu standing outside the house under the plane tree.Looking at the phoenix tree, she suddenly thought of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

I don't know if she will be able to see the magnificent Grand View Garden this time.

Speaking of which, it has been less than half a year since she entered the palace, but she has never seen a single face of Jia Yuanchun.According to Jia's family, Jia Yuanchun was working in the empress's palace.

From Ju Linjiang's point of view, the Empress Dowager is the most calm person in the palace. At that time, the Empress Dowager and the noble concubine rewarded Lin Jiang with Laba porridge. The queen's empress remained motionless and stable.

And besides having no children, this empress seems to be in good health. Apart from regularly asking for her peace pulse, Fenglin Palace seldom transmits imperial physicians.

He has never had any dealings with Lin Jiang.

So much so that although Lin Jiang was interested in the legendary virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun, he had never met one side—this also deepened Mrs. Wang's complaints and dissatisfaction with her.

Naturally, the Jia family had asked Lin Jiang to help Yuan Chun in the palace, but Lin Jiang always told the truth that she had never been to the Queen's Palace, and had never seen Lady Jia at all.

Mrs. Wang didn't believe this at all in her heart, she only thought that Lin Jiang was using excuses.

With such a queen, how did Jia Yuanchun suddenly jump several levels, from a female official to a virtuous concubine?Lin Jiang was a little puzzled.

The main reason is that the emperor didn't look like the kind of man who would catch an old house on fire and be trapped by love.

He estimated that he would only be in full swing for the throne.

Just when Lin Jiang was thinking about Concubine Xiande and the Grand View Garden, he saw Daiyu walking outside the courtyard.

At this time, it was already time for a cup of tea before Princess Shao's concubine rhyme, and a girl had already prepared a manuscript, so she stopped thinking hard at the table, and went to the courtyard to polish the poems in her belly while viewing the scenery.

The courtyard gradually became lively, and Daiyu was no longer alone.

And Daiyu seemed a little lost in thought.

Lin Jiang understood her, it was a sign that she was concentrating, probably because she was struggling with a line of poetry and needed to calm down and think carefully—so Daiyu left the gradually bustling courtyard and walked outside.

Although Princess Shao had guaranteed the ticket, Lin Jiang was still worried, so she wanted to get up and follow.

"Qi'er, go and have a look at Miss Lin, don't disturb her poetic quality, just watch from behind." Princess Shao spoke first.

Lin Jiang saw Lady Yang standing next to Princess Shao just now and said yes.

She sighed again: Princess Shao is really a careful person.

---

When Zhou Liheng returned home from the side door, he was still a little guilty, wondering if he would run into his father, and today was his father's rest day.

Besides, Prince Shao's job is not only to be a tyrant in the capital, but he also has a very legitimate and noble job: that is the clan order of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is responsible for managing the internal affairs of the royal family, and holds the genealogy of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty. .

Every clan has a newcomer, and they have to report to him before they can be regarded as having real status.At the same time, it is also responsible for judging the violations of the royal family's clan members.

As the emperor's younger brother and the emperor's uncle, he has enough seniority and status to serve as the imperial order, and he is also brave enough to tie up and beat the royal family who committed crimes and fell into his hands.

Moreover, the Zong Ling is not a vacant position, but a very tall and prestigious yamen of the clan mansion for Lord Shao to work.

Therefore, Prince Shao would also go out to clock in and go to work.

It's just that he has more time to rest and take a bath, basically every three days he has to rest for one day.And Zhou Liheng, who was afraid of his own father, was familiar with King Shao's on-duty form, and whenever his father was off duty, he would run to the palace—after all, the Supreme Emperor allowed him to study in the study.

Today is Shao Wang Xiumu's day, but Zhou Liheng still risked his way out of the palace and returned to the mansion.

He came back for a friend.

Zhou Liheng is a kind-hearted person, so he is very respectful and insensitive to the behavior of some princes in the palace.Even if he entered the palace to study in the upper study, there were only a few people who could talk.

Among them is the fifth prince.

The fifth prince's biological mother was also born as a palace maid, and she is still a noble person, so unknown in the palace that it seems that there is no such person.Although they are all palace maids, concubine Liu gave birth to the eldest son, so she won the position of concubine, while the fifth prince is about the same age, but the birth mother has no choice but to be a nobleman.

The fifth prince has a quiet and gentle temper, and his age is similar, Zhou Liheng has a good relationship with him, he is the closest among the princes.

However, these princes of the emperor were all brought up by natural selection, and they learned the law of the jungle without being taught.

It's like a group of hungry little beasts vying for delicious fresh meat.

The fifth prince's background is considered to be below average among the princes, but he is very smart and his homework is quite good, especially his handwriting is excellent. The emperor has a good impression of this son, and he will be proclaimed during the holidays. Go to the contemporary pen, write some blessings and longevity, and reward the emperor's relatives and meritorious ministers.

Just such a little bit of admiration, coupled with the good relationship between Prince Shao and him, created a situation where the fifth prince was hostile and isolated by his brothers.

Things have to start with a book.

On New Year's Eve, the emperor distributed a new book to each of his sons who were over 12 years old, called "Zhou Shi Wen Fu".

The authors of this book have a great background, they are the five emperors, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the ancestor and the emperor. Red envelopes were distributed to the sons.

This new year ceremony also comes with homework: the emperor ordered his sons to read through the poems and essays of the ancestors, and annotate all the allusions used by the ancestors in the book. After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in mid-February, the emperor will personally inspect them.Not only must the books be checked, but also an oral test is required to prevent the princes from asking teachers to act as ghostwriters.

So this year, the emperor is doing well, but the princes are not doing so well, immersed in the nervousness and fear of the exam every day.

The emperor is used to letting go, and usually ignores the homework of his sons, but he will beat whoever's teacher comes to complain. This time, the homework was suddenly assigned, and the princes of course tried their best to show one or two.

The Fifth Prince was no exception. For more than a month, he carefully read through countless books, digging out every allusion carefully, and he was about to find out all the poems of his ancestors.

He put in a lot of effort and effort, and gradually became more confident. On the day of his father's interrogation, even if he wasn't at the top of the list, he would never pull his hips.

However, just the day before the emperor wanted to check his homework, he found that the "Zhou Shi Wen Fu" that his father had rewarded him for more than a month had disappeared.

At that time, the fifth prince seemed to be frozen in despair.

It's not that he didn't think that his brothers might obstruct and make trouble, so he didn't even tell his personal eunuch, but only set up eight or nine locked cabinets in his house, and when he wanted to leave the house every day, he would randomly choose a cabinet to put it in his hands. The book is locked in, and the key is held by myself.

But today, he didn't go over to greet his concubine mother. In just half an hour, when he came back, he found that his book cabinet had been pried open, and the "Zhou Shi Wen Fu" inside had disappeared.

He felt his blood go cold.

He couldn't imagine how his father would scold him tomorrow: even if the thief who stole the book must be guilty, but losing the book means that he is incompetent.For a person who can't even keep a book, how can the father believe that he can keep the country?

When the father heard about this, he would probably ask: What if you lost my Great Zhou's jade seal in the future?

Today, after morning class in the study room, Zhou Liheng didn't even see the fifth prince, so he came to the bedroom to look for him, fearing that he was ill.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the fifth prince sitting on the ground with red eyes.

After Zhou Liheng figured out what happened, he knew why the fifth prince was so desperate.

The books given by Yuci are no better than those sold in the market outside, just buy a copy and make up for it.What Gongli Bookstore publishes is specially made silk and paper.

A hundred copies of this batch of "Zhou Shi Wen Fu" were printed before the emperor, except for [-] copies on rare white jade paper, the other [-] copies were made of ordinary tough bamboo paper, and none of the ministers got white jade paper. Shangshu also only received the bamboo paper version.

Therefore, at this time, the fifth prince wanted to buy a copy of the prince's white jade paper version, but there was nowhere to get it.

Zhou Liheng felt chilling and helpless about the struggle of the royal family, and suddenly remembered something, so he comforted the fifth prince: "I have a copy of "Zhou's Wen Fu" written on white jade paper at home."

Of those twenty white jade paper books, apart from the prince being entitled to get one, Prince Shao is of course also entitled to one.

And Prince Shao doesn't have to be tested by the emperor.He himself didn't like to read the poems of his ancestors, so he directly threw them into the outer study room where the books were collected.

The fifth prince grasped a straw of hope in despair. When he asked King Shao that he had accepted the book from the emperor without even signing it, he finally had a ray of hope in his heart: as long as there is a book, As long as he has a book, he can silently write all the annotations overnight.

Those allusions have been memorized by him within this month, and he just needs to write them all night.

Zhou Liheng ignored his fear of his father, and immediately went out of the palace to return to the mansion, preparing to bring back books for the fifth prince for emergency.

I hope I don’t run into my father, he prayed in his heart, after all, the outer study room that doesn’t even have a plaque with a name on it is never crowded, and his father would never go there if he wanted to.

In order not to make any noise, Zhou Liheng walked to the idle study room alone, without even bringing his servant.

When the two met each other, they were stunned.

Yu Zhou Liheng never expected that there would be someone in the study outside, and Yu Daiyu never expected that there would be girls wandering outside like herself—it's no wonder Daiyu misunderstood, today the girls all changed into men's clothes, and she thought again Fascinated by Shi's thoughts, he suddenly met a young man in a brocade robe, just as if other girls had also walked out of the courtyard.

And when they saw each other's face clearly, both of them were startled again.

Daiyu Nahan thought to herself: Although the girl who came to Prince Shao's mansion today, she hasn't spoken one by one, there are some
