Red House Shoufu

Chapter 147
"Rising at dawn, sweeping the court. Maoshi, sunrise! Bang bang, clang!"

As the shouts of the watchmen spread throughout the capital, the people began a new day of life.

The Forbidden City with red walls and green tiles is full of majesty in the golden light of the rising sun.

There was no court meeting today, the diligent emperor had long been sitting in the Qinzheng Hall, opening a booklet to read.

"Hey, at this time of year, the floods in the Yellow River and the Huaihe River have never stopped. I don't know how many people will be displaced this time..."

Xia Shouzhong cooked some tea skillfully, and the hall was filled with the fragrance of tea after a while.He put a cup of brewed tea by the emperor's hand: "My lord, this year's household department has enough money and food. As long as you curb greed, the people will always have a good meal. As long as you let the people fill their stomachs, they will always be able to get over it." of."

The emperor put down the booklet in his hand and sighed: "I have to find a way, once and for all."

At this time, there was a report from the gatekeeper and servant outside the hall, and the two brothers Gao Wancheng and Gao Wanxuan came over.

The two bowed and said: "I pay my respects to my father!"

Looking at the two energetic sons, the emperor felt much less bored.He waved to the two of them: "Why did you get up so early? Come on, come on, tell Father, how did you go to your ninth uncle's house to play yesterday?"

The two brothers went to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion yesterday, and when they came back in the afternoon, the emperor was busy discussing the autumn defense with the cabinet and the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, so he didn't bother to ask about the situation of the two sons.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Gao Wanxuan became excited.He ran up to the emperor: "Father, my son wants to worship Lin Liuyuan as his teacher!"

Gao Wancheng couldn't help helping his forehead, the fifth younger brother had been talking to him since he returned to the palace yesterday, and he was still thinking about it when he woke up from sleep.

Before the emperor could answer, Gao Wanxuan told Lin Shu what he wanted to see yesterday.

"Father's eyes are as bright as a torch. Lin Liuyuan deserves to be the Great Chu Wenkui appointed by his father. Even the Confucian couldn't understand his son's booklet. He just flipped through it and saw the problem. Father, Just order Lin Liuyuan to teach me!"

"Oh? And this?"

The emperor looked at Gao Wancheng next to him in surprise, and after seeing him nodding in agreement, he couldn't help but sigh that Lin Shu was really knowledgeable and talented.

How many great Confucian scholars have been forced to hide from him by my little five, even the cabinet's senior scholars, the six ministers and nine ministers, ran away as soon as they heard about the fifth prince.

I only heard Gao Wancheng say: "My minister yesterday was an eye-opener. Although this Lin Liuyuan only gave a brief introduction, I can see that he has dabbled in a wide range, far surpassing those masters in the palace."

"Father, please promise this son. It's not easy for son to find a teacher with real talents..."

Gao Wanxuan looked at the emperor anxiously, he was determined to worship Lin Shu as his teacher.Early this morning, he dragged his elder brother over from under the bed, vowing to settle the matter of apprenticeship.

The emperor rubbed Gao Wanxuan's head with his big hand, and said with a smile, "Lin Aiqing may not be able to teach you recently. He will go to Henan to inspect the river defense in a few days. Why don't we talk about it when he comes back?"

"River defense? The officials there also followed..."

"It's an important matter for the court, how can I let you mess around!" The emperor directly gave Gao Wanxuan a shudder, suppressing his excitement.

The emperor turned his gaze to Gao Wancheng, who had always been prudent, and asked, "Cheng'er, what do you think of Lin Shu?"

Gao Wancheng pondered for a moment: "Although it was only a brief exchange, Lin Liuyuan's talent and learning are definitely the best I have ever seen. If you only talk about Confucianism, he is not as good as those elders, but his vision is far ahead of others. At the forefront of the world."

Speaking of this, Gao Wancheng also bowed and said: "My son, like the fifth younger brother, wants to worship Lin Liuyuan as his teacher, and I ask my father for permission!"

The emperor did not expect that his most stable son also had the idea of ​​apprentice Lin Shu.He asked curiously, "Tell me why."

I only heard Gao Wancheng reply: "I don't want Lin Liuyuan to teach a collection of classics and history, nor the study of mathematics. What I want to learn is his vision, and what he said is the world!"

……

A sudden torrential rain last night knocked down many flowers in the small garden of the Lin Mansion.

After breakfast, Lin Shu and Wang's father and son went to work in the yamen, and Daiyu came to the garden with a small flower hoe.

Looking at the fallen flowers all over the garden, she lamented the difficulty of life, and ordered Xue Yan and other servant girls to gather the petals that fell on the ground.

"Fallen flowers are not heartless things, into Chunni more quadrangle."

Daiyu chanted this poem while using a small flower hoe to bury the gathered petals under the flower tree.

"Girl, the fourth girl is here, and she brought three kittens..."

……

In the gazebo in the small garden, Daiyu, Wang Yuan, and Xichun gathered around a bamboo basket on the stone table, meowing non-stop.

It turned out that on the way home yesterday, Yingchun told Jia Lian that Xichun wanted to raise a kitten.

For Jia Lian now, the gratitude of several younger sisters for such an insignificant matter is really worth it.With a wave of his hand, he asked the steward to find the most beautiful and lovable kitten in the market.

Before nightfall, the steward brought several kittens back to Rongguo Mansion.Sanchun had one for each of them, and one was sent to Lixiangyuan, and the remaining two were brought to Lin's residence by Xichun today.

"Sister Lin, which one do you want to raise?"

Xichun picked up her raccoon cat, with her crooked eyes one could see that she was in a great mood.

There are two kittens left in the basket, one is a mandarin duck cat, with white hair, one blue and one yellow eyes, and looks very docile, wide-eyed looking at the new environment.

Another orange cat looks lazy, chubby and very cute.Wang Yuan poked its round body with her hand, and it squinted its eyes and moved sideways lazily.

"Sister Yuan, you choose first!"

Seeing that Daiyu's eyes were always on the mandarin duck cat, Wang Yuan picked up the lazy orange cat and said, "I'll just choose this one. It's round and lazy. It's quite interesting."

"Then this one is mine, let's call it Bai Jingjing!" Daiyu picked up the kitten in the basket and meowed twice.

Bai Jingjing seemed to know that the person in front of her was her future master, so she meowed softly.

"Look, it can still understand me..."

All of a sudden, there were meowing sounds in the pavilion one after another.

Wang Yuan gave her orange cat a name: Gun Gun.She said that Orange Cat will definitely become more chubby in the future, and the name is both vivid and easy to remember, so it couldn't be more suitable.

While stroking the cat contentedly, Xichun said to the two of them: "I figured it out last night, it's called Abao. The second sister's is also a chubby orange cat named Apang. The third sister's and I Same, but hers is amazing, she caught a mouse as soon as she got home, the third sister said to call it Marshal Huang, from now on it will take care of all the mice in the house..."
