Jinyi champion

Chapter 24

Zhu Sanben was about to go over to check on his younger brother's situation, but when he heard the words, he looked sideways and said, "It's one thing for you to save us, but what does that have to do with your studies? You...why do you think that Professor Sui will accept you as a pawn?" student?"

"Sister...third brother, he...he saved us..."

It was Zhu Si who was more honest. He felt that not only did Zhu Hao lose the rabbit, but Zhu Hao rescued the siblings from falling into the water. He felt guilty.

Zhu Hao said: "You can do whatever you want, I will go down the mountain first."

"Hey, don't go!"

Zhu San saw it, and Zhu Hao made up his mind to go back and tell the adults about it, so that it would no longer be a secret that she brought her brother out to be in danger.

Zhu Hao looked impatient: "What else are you doing? My rabbit is gone, can you still compensate me for the loss?"

Zhu Sandao: "You... We really can't help you become a Sui Jiaoxi disciple. Sui Jiaoxi is raising people to work for the palace, and will not accept outsiders as students casually."

Hey, it looks like there is a lot of fun!

"I don't ask for anything else, as long as I can study, if not... I will enter the Xing Palace, and I can do odd jobs with you as a school boy. I just don't want to be an apprentice at such a young age, and become a peddler when I grow up... ...As long as you are willing to help me, I will take you out to catch rabbits in the future, and I will take you to more interesting places."

Zhu Hao's attitude was very sincere this time.

Zhu Si asked, "What is a book companion?"

Zhu San explained: "It's the little boy who is with you and studies together, so he can be regarded as a servant."

"what?"

Zhu Si was a little confused, how could someone still take the initiative to be a slave?

Zhu San frowned: "But... our house never accepts book boys."

Zhu Hao shook his head, "Looking at your appearance, you think you have a very noble status, right? You haven't experienced the hardships of the world... If you tell the elders that they want to find a book boy and recruit them from outside the house, the elders will probably agree."

"Third brother, let's promise him. Anyway, it's nothing if someone studies with us."

Zhu Si was the first to be persuaded, "We can play with him in the future and let him lead us to catch rabbits. He is so powerful and even saved us."

Seeing that Zhu Si is a good boy who knows how to repay his kindness, Zhu Hao secretly gave him a thumbs up in his heart!

Zhu San pursed his lips: "Can we decide this kind of thing? If we tell my father, he will definitely ask us the reason. Shall we tell what happened today?"

Zhu Sidao: "But if you don't say it, he will."

Now Zhu San is even more difficult.

Zhu Hao approached: "As long as you are willing to help me, I will teach you how to say... I just want to enter the palace to study with you, and I will have the opportunity to take the imperial examination in the future, but I will not sign the contract of sale... If you agree, we can do it together." Go down the mountain, and I will explain it to you in detail on the way."

Zhu San seems to have a lot of ideas, but in fact he is just a child. How can there be Zhu Hao's city?
Seeing that it was late, she was afraid of any accidents on the way, so she could only agree to go back to the city with Zhu Hao.

……

……

The three of them went down the mountain.

Zhu Si was still somewhat weak and needed Zhu Hao's help most of the time. As for Zhu San, who fell into the water once, he was still in shock and was a girl. It was good to be able to walk down the mountain by himself, and he had no time to take care of others.

"Thank you for saving us just now."

Seeing the city of Zhou in front of him, Zhu San felt a little bit sorry, and said to Zhu Hao in a low voice.

Zhu Hao supported Zhu Si, looked at the road ahead, and said as he walked: "In the future, you must be careful when you go out to play, don't be frizzy, and there may not be someone to rescue you next time."

Zhu San immediately thought of dragging Zhu Hao into the water and being rescued by him.

Feel more guilty.

"You said... want to enter the palace to be a book boy, what should we do?" Zhu San asked.

Zhu Haodao: "Just tell the elders in your family that you want to find a few people of the same age in the city. Regardless of their background, as long as they are talented and knowledgeable, they will be called to the palace to study with you. In the future, they will take the imperial examination and enter the imperial court. Become a good helper... In this case, your elders should agree to find a book boy for you."

Zhu San was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Zhu Hao thought to himself, with your kid's brain, can I explain it clearly to you?

Others don't understand that Prince Xing's son is the number one heir to the throne, wouldn't your father know?

According to the principle of brother Daming, even if your father is alive, the last one to inherit the throne must be Zhu Si, a kind-hearted little guy like you. Will your father consider the need for someone to help secure the throne in the future?

Prince Xing's Mansion is extremely closed, but the more tightly it wraps itself, the more outsiders want to pry into it.

If Lao Xingwang was smarter, he should understand the truth that blocking is worse than sparse. Accepting children with reading talents in the city to study with his son is equivalent to breaking the closed shell. The fewer secrets in the palace, the lower the defense of the court. The corresponding son is more likely to be close to the center.

Once you make this proposal, you may be able to give your old father an inspiration. If there are aides to analyze it, you will feel that the two children's ideas are misunderstood, which is very in line with the current situation facing the Xing Palace.

Then I have a chance to mix in.

"I want to study... don't say that, what do you think should be said?" Zhu Hao could only play sloppy.

Zhu San nodded: "We will do it when we go back, but if it doesn't work...will you still tell what happened today?"

Zhu Hao shrugged and did not answer.

You said it all, what can I do?
If you don't help me, I can only make public the fact that you two little brats went out of the city and fell into the water. Maybe your father will soften his heart after being grateful and recruit me into the palace!
Zhu Si asked: "Did I choose you together with... third brother when we were choosing the book boy?"

Zhu Hao smiled: "Big brother still understands the truth, that's all. But even if I really compare my talent and learning, I am confident that I am not inferior to others. Mr. Lu has such high knowledge and insight, but he still chooses me as a student? You have to believe me strength."

"Bragging."

Zhu San stuck out his tongue when he heard this, but the expression on his face was much relieved.

Zhu Hao said: "Except for falling into the pool at the end, I still had a lot of fun today. If I can really enter Xingwang's mansion in the future, can we sneak out to play together?"

Zhu San looked at Zhu Hao and asked, "Do you know where there are rabbits?"

"Don't talk about rabbits, I can even catch birds... I grew up in the field since I was a child. I caught civets in winter, and I knew it in summer. Let me tell you, it is very easy to catch rabbits in winter. Just find the rabbit road and bury it in the snow. You can catch them with a wire sack... I know a lot of weird things, and it’s normal for you to be rich and well-fed since you were young.”

Both Zhu San and Zhu Si had longing in their eyes.

They grew up in the palace, and their daily work and rest were arranged, as regular as a clock, and they had no chance to enjoy the free life of ordinary children. Now that they have reached the age of fun and excitement, of course they will feel Zhu The picture Hao painted was the paradise they dreamed of.

Zhu Si couldn't help but grabbed his sister's sleeve, the meaning was obvious, no matter what, we must bring Zhu Hao into the palace, and let the little brother lead us to live this kind of life!

Seeing the city gate wide open, Zhu Hao pointed to the shops on both sides of the official road: "There are shops selling ready-made clothes in this area, do you have any money with you? Let's spend more than ten yuan to buy a few ordinary children's clothes in exchange. If you enter the city, you won’t be noticed by the officers and soldiers.”

Zhu San hurriedly touched his pocket.

Only then did she realize that the purse was missing.

"Oh, my purse fell into the pool. It was a purse embroidered by my mother..."

"I... I don't have any money with me."

Zhu San and Zhu Si simultaneously set their eyes on Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao frowned: "Why are you doing this? I... have more than a dozen coins here, but that's all for my mother's medicine. If I don't have the money after two days, my mother's medicine won't last... ..."

Zhu Sandao: "Stingy ghost, we will pay you back later, you hurry up and buy us clothes with the money, you are wet all over, and you will definitely be interrogated by officers and soldiers when you enter the city."

It's this effect.

Zhu Hao's purpose was to make the two children owe him, even if he failed to enter the palace this time, at least he saved a chance to meet again.

"I agreed to return it to me. If I don't have the money to buy medicine for my mother, I..." Zhu Hao pouted with an aggrieved look, as if this would really put his family in trouble.

Zhu Si's tone was firm: "Zhu Hao, don't worry, you saved us, if you don't even pay back your mother's medicine money, then we are too worthless."

Zhu Hao nodded: "Since that's the case, then we are friends. If your friend is in trouble, you can't just ignore it. You must help me enter the palace!"

……

……

Zhu Hao had already arranged everything.

In the clothing shop outside the city, there are more than one set of children's clothes specially prepared, and the materials are all very good.

If the two little guys have a little bit of social experience, they should know that three sets of clothes without patches, even children's clothes, can't be bought with more than ten pennies.

Change your clothes and you're good to go when you head into town.

Zhu San and Zhu Si hurried home.

When entering the gate of the palace, the guards noticed something unusual, but because of the difference between master and servant, Zhu San also sneaked out before, so he didn't ask much.

But after receiving the notification, Lao Xing Wang Zhu Youzhu immediately sent someone to call the two children to the study.

In front of the desk, Zhu Youzhan, who was dressed in a python robe, was sitting upright, with a calm expression on his face. The jade wrench finger in his hand was damaged in several places, but he still regarded it as a treasure, and twisted it with his fingers from time to time.

The two children did something wrong and didn't dare to lift their heads.

"This afternoon, why didn't you study? Where did you go to play?" Zhu Youzhao asked with sharp eyes, not angry but pretentious.

Zhu San hesitated: "We... we went out to play."

Zhu Youtang's expression became more and more serious: "Where are you going to play?"

"Go...to the city."

Zhu San didn't lie once or twice. In the past, he would find some excuses to check the customs of the people, but this time, in order to avoid being known that he and his brother fell into the water, he could only confess that he went to play in the city.

Zhu Youzhao said with a dark face: "It's fine if you are dishonest, why did you bring your younger brother with you? You even sneaked out without even taking the guards with you. Can you bear the burden if something goes wrong?"

At this moment, an old Confucian scholar with gray hair in a bun and a square scarf tied in came in at the door. He was about sixty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and he smiled and saluted Zhu Youjun.

It was Yuan Zonggao, the head of the palace.

Yuan Zonggao, a native of Shishou, was a Jinshi in the third year of Hongzhi. He was the right-hand man of Xing Wangfu, Shi Sisi, and one of the right-hand men of Xing Wang Zhu Youzhu. After Zhang Jingming returned to Jiangyin, Zhejiang Province at the beginning of the ninth year of Zhengde, Yuan Zonggao became the pillar of the palace.

In history, Yuan Zonggao ascended the throne with Zhu Houcong, who was accompanied by a dragon, and entered the cabinet as a minister of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. He helped Zhu Houcong propose a great ceremony, but died of illness four months later.

As for Zhang Jingming, he died of illness in the same year as Yuan Zonggao, but he died at the beginning of the year before Zhu Houcong ascended the throne. Greatly used in the dynasty of ZTE".

"King Xing, it's natural for children to be playful. When you go wandering in the city, you should only observe the people's sentiments. You don't have to be too harsh. As long as you teach them, don't come out without telling them. It's good to have someone with you."
