Dress to be a celebrity

His Majesty intends to let the King of Zhou return to court.

Which of the eunuchs who serve the imperial court is not the one who can guess the Holy Majesty's mind?

I'm afraid the Holy One had this intention long ago, but seeing that the king of Zhou is in charge of the military and political affairs of the Nine Frontiers, and the war is still going on, it is not easy to call him back for no reason.Unless the king of Qi completely pacified the remnants of the Tatars, or there is something in the court that the king of Zhou needs to come back to preside over...

They are eunuchs who dare not ask political affairs, but they can care about the family affairs of the Holy Majesty: "In the past, His Royal Highness King Zhou came to Beijing to attend the birthday ceremony on the day of Shengshou, and he could not come back for these two years. Although it is an important border war, but Now that the world is at peace, and the Northwest Conquests are victorious one after another, and those captive chieftains are willing to surrender, His Majesty should understand His Highness's admiration and let His Highness come to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, right?"

He was not only asked to come to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, but now that the grandson of the emperor has reached the age when he should be educated, he must let his father have a look.

Emperor Xintai sighed heavily, and said: "You guys go down."

What's the point of just calling him back to see what's the point? There must be a reason for him to stay in Beijing forever.

Although he didn't issue an imperial edict, the eunuchs serving in front of the imperial court were all good at figuring out what he wanted, so they naturally knew what to say and how to say it.Not long after, the rumor that the Holy Majesty missed the king of Zhou and wanted to call him back to Beijing still penetrated into the harem.

It is to call him back to Beijing, not to call him to Beijing.

The difference of only one word makes a world of difference.After hearing the news, Concubine Xian, the biological mother of King Zhou, chanted Buddha repeatedly, and was so excited that she called Mrs. Li, who was guarding the palace, to discuss with her: "I heard that what kind of girls' school Huier and Mrs. Huan have run in Hanzhong Mansion in the past two years?" , the students taught can read and count, and they also talk about the way of heaven, but they don't know what they learn? Although my brother has entered the upper study room to enlighten, but the palace teaches old books, I'm afraid it's not as good as Hanzhong with Song Daru , besides the Four Books and Five Classics, what kind of physics and chemistry do you need to teach..."

How can her grandson know as much as the common people?

Earlier, when her son didn't come back, she only cared about her grandson, fearing that he would be tired from studying too much; now that the king of Zhou was going to return to court, she was afraid that her son would meet to take the exam and grandson, and wanted him to learn more.

She pursed her lips, and said with determination: "You ask your family to find some books on physics and chemistry. My son, I know, Huier must have read a lot of Song Sanyuan's new books in Hanzhong. When he returns to Beijing, in case he takes the school exam Speaking of brother Xian's homework, if our brother can answer a few questions, it will make his father happy."

Mrs. Li stayed alone in the capital, and had to look at this little emperor's grandson to comfort her loneliness every day, and treated him as if she was her own, so she immediately took over the matter after hearing the words.

"The princess sent my concubine a few articles by Mr. Song in the past year, but the concubine looked a little awkward, and I was afraid that it would not be suitable for my brother to read. I was afraid that the copied ones on the market would be inaccurate, so I asked my father to go to the Song family to ask for it. A few books—there are children in his family who are studying, and Song Sanyuan will always write some in-depth and simple Neo-Confucianism articles for his own disciples."

Her father is working as the censor of the capital at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is a colleague of that censor Huan. Based on this relationship...cough, no, it should be based on the face of the Tian family and the Zhou Palace.

Mrs. Li was almost distracted by the letters sent by the king and concubine of Zhou, but fortunately she didn't reveal anything in front of the empress, and when she returned to the mansion, she took the post and asked someone to send it back home, asking her father and brother to beg for the emperor's eldest grandson. article.

By the way, I would like to remind his family that King Zhou may be going to Beijing.

When the Song Dynasty left Beijing, it was because Zhou Wang took his beloved Huan Yushi away when he left Beijing.Now that King Zhou is going to return to Beijing, Huan Yushi, who was implicated by him that day, may also come back. There is no reason for this jewel-like talent in Song Dynasty to be left behind in the border town.

Li Yushi would like to congratulate his family in advance, and the whole family will be reunited.

Father Song was overjoyed and was speechless for a long time. He sighed "Ai Ai" for a long time before he woke up and told his servants: "Go and look at the old books and papers at your three elder brothers' place, and tell them to keep them in order. Make a copy and give it to Master Li!"

Li Yushi said: "Where are the children copying? If there are old books in Brother Song's house, just bring them to me. I'll go back and ask the Qingke to copy them."

Master Song said worriedly: "I'm afraid that my grandchildren's handwriting is immature, and some places are wrong...Brother Li, please wait, I will ask someone to ask them if they still have the answers given by their uncles."

Uncle "men".

You don't need to ask to know who the word "men" refers to.

In the eyes of Mr. Song, he is also a transparent, unrestrained and eclectic celebrity. No wonder he can raise Song Sanyuan who has developed another school of Neo Confucianism.

Master Li nodded with emotion, sat in the living room for a while, and told Mr. Song some news about the Northwest. The two masters of the Song family also sat down to accompany the guests, and asked if there was any news about their younger brother.Although Song Shi sent a letter from home every few days, but the child likes to report good news but not bad ones, and parents are always not at ease.

Li Yushi's news came from his daughter, and he couldn't hear anything about the outsider, so he could only comfort them: "Now that the king of Zhou is going to return to court, Song Sanyuan will naturally go to a higher level. You just have to wait for the reunion of father and son at ease." Yes."

The father and son of the Song family have only asked for this sentence all these years. Looking at Li Yushi in front of them, they also felt that they were in the same boat and encouraged each other for a while.Soon Brother Xiao and his brothers also personally brought the old handouts, sample questions and answers sent by their uncles, and gave them to Master Li.

When the three brothers did the questions, they all copied them onto a single piece of paper, so the original questions and answers were still clean, but some of them had been left for a long time or were caught in rain during the delivery, and some had yellow curls.

Mr. Li has his own copywriter at home, and he doesn't mind these things, so he accepted the paper, praised a few words "the voice of the young phoenix is ​​as clear as the voice of the old phoenix", and said goodbye to Mr. Song: "I copied the paper earlier, the original manuscript of Song Sanyuan Of course I have to return it, I dare not keep it private."

It's okay, not all of them belong to Shiguan'er, but you can take some of Princess Huan's brother's.

Master Song's lips moved slightly, after all, he didn't say anything that hurt his image as the father of Sanyuan, and led his children and grandchildren to politely send Master Li out of the house.

After closing the door, the father and son of the whole family became recklessly happy: "Quick, hurry up and tell your mother and daughter-in-law that Shi Guan'er is finally coming home!"

His eldest son said angrily: "Brother Xiao is ready to take the exam, daddy, you still call him Shiguan, it doesn't sound good to call the child."

Master Song snorted: "Even if my three eldest grandsons are married, isn't your brother my son? I can call him by his nickname if I want."

After all, he stopped calling him "Shi Guan'er" and turned to ask his second son, "Have you heard any news from the center?"

Song Yun was a secretary in the cabinet, and he had better news than the father of the General Secretary and the elder brother of the ambassador of the Ministry of Industry, but he only vaguely heard that the Holy Majesty missed King Zhou, but there was no such definite news as Li Yushi.

Grinding his teeth, he said, "None of the three pavilion elders have made any moves, and we haven't seen the decree in the corridor. It may be that the sage has intentions, but the king of Zhou is still unable to get away for a while to support the war outside the border? When will The matter of the border is settled, when will King Zhou come back?"

He works in the center and knows more details than outsiders.Now the imperial army has gone out from Suiyuan, flattened the Chahar Department, and the appeasement mission has also shifted from Hetao to the Tumed Department...

In the past two years, there have been many wars, large and small, and there have been many battles with Tatar princes and Wanhu. They all have more victories than defeats.It’s just that those Tatars are accustomed to living in water and grass, and even the royal court has tents that are easy to dismantle and take in. The horses in their army are slightly worse than those on the grassland, and they are not as familiar with the place as the grassland people, so they often tell these people to flee.

After all, the armor of the Dazheng army is bright, and they are also red flags and red coats. They are equipped with shiny copper cannons and thick flying thunder cannons. They are usually covered tightly when sneaking. If those captives want to escape, they will suffer a lot if they chase after them on horseback.

Song Yun said bitterly: "These god-killing thieves are unwilling to surrender even if we can't beat us. They dragged the army outside the pass, and our officials have to run all over Shaanxi to get them rations and equipment. Look at it like this The frontier army can't do without him."

Uncle Song pressed him: "A person who is a middle school secretary, what does it look like to be so frizzy? I don't think this battle will last long. When the time comes, Guan'er will come back with His Royal Highness King Zhou."

Even if he doesn't come back for a while, as long as King Zhou comes back, he can still help his wife and uncle and... huh?Don't you speak for their brother?

The whole family only hoped that the battle would be over soon, and soon the old lady, Mrs. Ji, and the two daughters-in-law all came out of the backyard, and they were overjoyed to hear the good news from them.

Shi Guan'er is coming back!

The child went to study in Beijing with his teacher since he was a child; his father was traveling around a little longer, and finally passed the exam in Beijing; the family had just been reunited, and he went out with Brother Qi again, so he didn't stay at home for a few days.This time when I return to Beijing, I will go to the Sixth Department or return to the library bureau to be an official, read books, write articles, and the family can live in peace and happiness.

Speaking of returning to Beijing, the two sisters-in-law couldn't help asking: "What he did in Shaanxi was also supplying military supplies. If he wins the war, it doesn't count as his meritorious service? Will he be promoted when he returns to Beijing tomorrow?" To the third product?"

A third-rank official, that is the servant!

Their Song family will also be the servant's mansion in the future, which is the same as the old man of the Huan family's official position!

The old man Song couldn't help being a little happy when he thought of this, and he wanted to put on airs as the father of a fourth-rank official, telling his daughters-in-law not to interfere in the affairs of the court.But when it came to his son's official position, he suddenly realized: "I am too low an official. I have just become a sixth-rank official after so many appointments. If an official enters Beijing at that time, my father will be inferior to my son." How plausible."

He is not afraid that he will be appointed as an official with the false title of Doctor Guanglu at that time, but he is afraid that some villains in the court will hate his son and refuse to let him use the excuse that his father's position is small, and that his son in the court is not suitable for a higher official position than his father. He went to Beijing.

But his three sons are all promising, does he still care about an official position!

Anyway, when he was an official in those years, his youngest son took care of the civil affairs for him, and what he did in the General Administration Department was just some errands of copying and sorting out memorials, so it would be no pity to lose them.

When he resigned from office and was free, he stared at his children studying...

No, not only his children, he wants to teach his granddaughter to read!

His son ran a girls' school in Hanzhong, and a group of ignorant people judged others by themselves, thinking that Shi Guan'er was a flirtatious boy with female disciples hugging him from side to side, spreading rumors to ruin his name.He is going to set up a girls' school in Beijing for people to see, so that those who are jealous of his Sanyuan son will know that the Song family's girls' school is only for teaching girls to read and understand, and there is nothing dirty about it!

Wait for him to resign and come back!

The two granddaughters in the family are not young anymore, and they are able to study in elementary schools, so they no longer invite husbands home, and let them go to college to study directly.Whatever books Brother Xiao and the others read, let these girls follow suit!

It just so happened that the handouts of these children in the family were tidied up, and when the Li family came back some other day, he would also see how it was explained.
