Jinyi champion

Chapter 79 Meet the nobles
Lu Song has no plans to buy shares for the time being, mainly because of his deep-rooted official-based thinking.

With an iron rice bowl, he would never consider doing business at all. This is also related to Zhu Hao's background in Jinyiwei's family. Lu Song originally wanted to get rid of Jinyiwei's control, and he would not take the initiative to tie his own interests with Zhu Hao's.

The next day.

Zhu San and Zhu Si came to the school early, even earlier than Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao, Jing Hong, and Lu Bing came here together.

"Zhu Hao, you said you wanted to bring me the leather cuju, did you bring it?" Seeing Zhu Hao, Zhu Si couldn't wait to come over and ask.

Zhu Hao smiled and pointed to Lu Bing, who threw the ball hastily.

This cuju is indeed made of leather, with a sheep bladder inside, so it has a good jumping ability. In addition, Zhu Hao hired a special bootmaker to customize it, so that the materials and workmanship are very excellent. Ruo Zhu Hao summoned the masters and started industrial production.

But obviously Cuju is still too niche in this era, compared to the income from selling salt, it is really insignificant, so Zhu Hao has no plan to open a ball workshop.

But it's perfect for Zhu Si to play with.

"Is this Pi Cuju?"

Zhu Si took the ball and was very excited. He threw it on the ground. It bounced strongly and rolled without any hindrance. The kick did not hurt as much as before.

Just before Zhu Si was about to kick, Zhu Hao hurriedly reminded: "Be careful kicking this cuju. If you kick too hard, you may lose your kick."

According to the strength of kicking cuju before, with this kick, the ball must be kicked outside the courtyard wall, and it is inevitable to run out to find it.

"it's okay no problem……"

Zhu Si didn't care about that, for him to have a new ball to play with was more important than anything else.

Zhu San was a little displeased: "Xiao Si, Mr. Yuan said, today the father will test our knowledge, do you still have the mind to play? Can't we wait until the test is over?"

When Zhu Si heard that there was an exam, his momentum suddenly faltered.

"Okay, hurry up to review your homework, I think Mr. Gongsun will be here in a while, if you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me, after you pass the exam, we will go out of the city and go to the wilderness to play Cuju, where the sky is wide and the land is wide, wouldn't it be better? "

Zhu Hao made a new plan for the children.

Cuju on the grass outside the city...

Thinking about it, I feel that the picture is beautiful.

The self-discipline of the children was good, and then they all came to the house to read, and the yard quickly became quiet.

……

……

noon.

The royal study.

Zhu Youzhu personally tested Zhu San and Zhu Si, and there were three people standing in front of him, one was Fengzheng Zhang Zuo of the palace, and the other two were Yuan Zonggao and Gongsun Yi.

The content of the school examination was the classics and annotations of "Mencius", and reciting it was completely pediatrics for the two children. Zhu Youzhu even asked the pair of children how they felt about the chapters and sentences of "Mencius", and once mentioned the content of "Great Learning".

"very good!"

Zhu Youzhu took a general examination of the school and nodded with satisfaction.

The progress of the two children's studies was in line with his expectations, especially Zhu Houcong, who was firmly ahead of his sister this time, and there was a vague tendency that the latecomer would take the lead.

Zhu Youtang then looked at Gongsunyi, nodded and said to his sons and daughters: "It seems that the new teacher has taught you very well."

Yuan Zonggao smiled and said: "Feng Yuan, King Xing is praising you, why don't you go to salute King Xing?"

Feng Yuan is Gongsun Yi's nickname. He has been in the palace for a while, and this is the first time he sees King Xing. His expression is so excited that he doesn't know how to show his respect.

Just about to go up to salute, Zhu Youzhao waved his hands: "You are the teacher of the palace, you are the son of the prince, so there is no need to be too polite."

This means that since you are my son's teacher and are of the same generation as me, you can't show the difference in status in front of your children, lest the two younger ones think that the palace disrespects you and make them mess around.

In order to set an example for the children, Zhu Youzhu must show respect for Gongsunyi, even if this gentleman is only a temporary teacher.

"My lord, your fluency in answering questions today is not as good as your brother's. It is very different from last time. You have to work hard." Zhu Youzhu was a little dissatisfied with Zhu San's performance today, and reminded with a gloomy expression.

Zhu San was not happy.

Last time, he basically crushed his younger brother all the way, but this time he was overtaken by his younger brother, obviously because his younger brother listened to Zhu Hao's lectures with him.

Zhu Youzhu looked at Gongsunyi again: "Please trouble me to give you some advice for your son."

"Yes."

Gongsun Yi looked troubled.

It's not that he doesn't want to teach, he also listened to the content of Zhu Youzhao's school examination just now, and he felt "heart-stirring" before, how can such a level of examination be a school examination child?It is almost at the level of the boy's test, except that it is not a stereotyped essay answer, there is no difference in the rest.

Just when he thought that the two students could not answer, they basically answered each other fluently, as if this question could not trouble them at all.

But the problem is...

I didn't teach it so deeply, how did they answer it?Someone knew that the title was leaked ahead of time, so they could prepare?
Now King Xing asks me to raise some princes, but how can I raise them?

Gongsunyi was at a loss.

Zhu Youtang seemed to have something to discuss with Zhang Zuo, so he hurriedly finished the exam, waved his hand and said, "Yuan Changshi, send them out."

"Father!"

Zhu San hurriedly reminded, "My brother and I have passed this exam, right? I promised before that if we can pass the test smoothly, we can go out of the city to play. Father, do you still remember this?"

Zhu Youzhao looked at his daughter angrily: "Since you want to go out and have a look, I won't stop you as a father, let Yuan Changshi arrange it for you."

"Great!"

Zhu San was very excited.

Going out of the city to catch rabbits, find an open space to play cuju, and then look at the field scenery outside. If you can hunt again... that is simply a dream life.

……

……

Yuan Zonggao walked in front and came out with Gongsunyi and two children.

"You two princes, you go back to class first, the old man has something to tell your husband." Yuan Zonggao sent the two younger ones away first.

"Yes!"

Zhu San and Zhu Si ran away quickly.

Gongsun Yi was a little apprehensive, for fear that Yuan Zonggao would inquire about his teaching progress in detail. If he was asked about the students' academic situation, he would not know how to answer. Could it be that he wanted to tell Yuan Zonggao that I did not teach so deeply, the two princes Is it self-taught?
"Feng Yuan, what do you think of Zhu Hao?"

Yuan Zonggao's first question made Gongsun Yi puzzled.

After hesitating, Gongsun Yi replied, "Very smart."

Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "Have you noticed it too? You may not know it. He is a disciple of Tang Yin, who is famous all over the world. To be appreciated by Tang Yin, you should be able to guess how talented he is, right?"

"what?"

Gongsunyi was really surprised.

For a scholar, especially a scholar who passed the exam, of course he knows Tang Yin's name.

Although Tang Yin has never been an official, his own experience and attainments in poetry and painting are enough to be called a representative of Jiangnan literati, and such a person is destined to be famous in history.

Compared to a brilliant and dazzling literary star like Tang Yin, he himself is an insignificant dust among scholars.

Zhu Hao is Tang Yin's disciple?

Why does it sound so mysterious?
Yuan Zonggao said: "Tang Yin's talent and learning are indeed unparalleled in the world, but it is a pity that he has no hope of official career...or because of this, he has also made great achievements in teaching and educating people."

Gongsun Yi was at a loss again.

When others mentioned Tang Yin, they all said that Tang Yin's poetic and painting attainments were unparalleled in the world, or how high his calligraphy and writing skills were, but you, Yuan Changshi, praised Tang Yin for his great achievements in teaching and educating people?

This statement is really fresh, is it because you have seen his superb apprenticeship skills?
"The old man has also heard Zhu Hao give lessons to the two princes. What he said was taught to him by Tang Yin. It's unusual. If you have free time, you can also listen to it..."

When Yuan Zonggao said this, he was clearing up Gongsunyi's doubts.

It turned out that it wasn't that I taught well, nor that the two princes learned without a teacher, and it wasn't that someone leaked the exam questions in advance, but that they had Zhu Hao, a "famous teacher" behind them to guide them. No wonder the two princes could answer the questions beyond the outline.

Skills are not as good as people, really skills are not as good as people.

"By the way, Feng Yuan, recently...has anyone been looking for you?" Yuan Zonggao mentioned again intentionally or unintentionally.

"Ok?"

Gongsunyi was at a loss.

He found that with his IQ, it was really not easy to get along in the palace.

Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "What I want to ask is whether any strangers have approached you, mentioned to you about your work in the palace, and tried to bribe you?"

Those words before were just Yuan Zonggao's warm-up. This is the real purpose of Yuan Zonggao looking for Gongsunyi.

But with Gongsunyi's brain, he wouldn't think about it.

"Never."

After thinking carefully, Gongsun Yi answered firmly.

Has a stranger approached you recently?

Why are you looking for yourself?

Involved in Xing Wangfu?

Want to ask me for news about the palace?

Yuan Zonggao said: "Nothing is the best. You also know the status of King Xing's Mansion in Daming now, and you are afraid that someone with a heart will target the Palace... If anyone comes to you, even if it is someone from the government, you have to tell the truth. Let the old man recommend you in front of King Xing."

"Yes Yes."

Now that Yuan Zonggao mentioned the recommendation, Gongsun Yi quickly saluted Yuan Zonggao, showing enough respect.

In fact, when the palace selected temporary teachers, there were many candidates. Gongsun Yi also knew that his qualifications were too low, and he was not qualified to teach Xing Wang's son, but Yuan Zonggao felt that he was young and had potential, and even thought that he would be able to pass the examinations and even Jinshi , the future is bright, so he was chosen.

This is a public statement, what is going on behind the scenes...Gongsun Yi can't figure it out and won't think about it.

"Teach well."

Yuan Zonggao smiled, as if he admired Gongsunyi very much, "When the next time the scholar comes to Changshou, the old man may arrange for him to meet you and personally test your knowledge."

When Gongsunyi heard it, he almost burst into tears of gratitude.

This kind of recommendation is not an ordinary one. It is related to his future status in the County Confucianism Department of Gongsun Yi and whether he can pass the exam in the future.

He was thinking in his heart, the fortune teller said that I would have shit luck after the age of twenty, honestly, I really met a noble person.
