Xianggui

Ding Lilai asked again, "Sister, please write to me often. As soon as your vest and hat are finished, they will be delivered to you as soon as possible. I'll be waiting."

Xunxiang not only gave many things to the young boy, but also prepared some things for his grandfather, relatives and friends.

"I have to go to the palace to attend classes tomorrow, so I can't see you off."

"It's better not to give it away, I'm afraid I'll cry."

After lunch, the two went to the front yard together. Xunxiang watched him get on the carriage and the carriage disappeared outside the corner door.

I had a quick reunion with my little brother and then parted ways again.

When children grow up, they will fly into the sky. The most clingy and innocent little brother Ding Lilai can fly the farthest...

Xunxiang looked at the empty corner door with infinite melancholy.

Luo Er reminded, "Princess, go back and prepare to enter the palace."

Tomorrow Jingfangzhai will have classes, and today he will go to Kunning Palace this afternoon.

When they arrived at Kunning Palace, Xun Xiang presented the woolen vest that she had hooked to Queen Ye with her own hands.

Queen Ye liked it very much and immediately wore it.

Seeing that Xiangxiang was not in a high mood and her eye circles were still a little red, she asked, "Is your mother looking for trouble again?"

Xun Xiang shook his head, "No, it was the third brother of the Ding family who came back. He stayed for a few days and then left..."

Queen Ye did not blame Ding Lilai for his stubbornness at all, and said with a smile, "He is a good boy who remembers his emotions and loves to learn. Mr. Ding's family is very wise, and the grandchildren he taught are all very good."

Before dinner, the emperor came to Kunning Palace.

He knew that Xunxiang was going to class at Jingfangzhai tomorrow, so he came to tell her what to pay attention to. He looked as serious as a little granddaughter going to school on her first day.

Xunxiang was also given two sets of the Four Treasures of the Study Room and a pen holder.

At the beginning of the next morning, Xun Xiang had just finished his meal, and his companion Tao Jing came to Kunning Palace.

She kowtowed to Queen Ye, who then rewarded her with a set of the Four Treasures of the Study and eight palace flowers.

"Study hard with Xiangxiang, and don't fight with some little ladies. Of course, if they dare to make trouble, don't let them do it, come and tell me. Xiangxiang is kind and simple, remind her more when things happen... "

"Yes, little lady, please remember the Queen's teachings."

The eunuch's voice sounded again outside, "The emperor has arrived."

Tao Jing and others were so frightened that they quickly knelt down.

The emperor came in and said with a smile, "I'm here to send Xiangxiang to school."

Queen Ye was extremely happy. This favor had never been given to any prince or grandson before, let alone a princess or princess.

Xunxiang was warm-hearted and proud, and stepped forward to hold the emperor's hand.

Grandfather and grandson walked hand in hand to Jingfangzhai, followed by a group of people.

Xunxiang feels that this is the most popular and solemn scene for parents to send their children to school.

Jingfangzhai is located in a peach forest.

Red walls and gold tiles, the tiles shine golden in the rising sun.

The main hall and the east and west halls are respectively three large lecture halls.

The main lecture hall is the main hall, and the students are twelve to thirteen years old.

The lecture hall in the East Hall is the East Room, and the students are between nine and eleven years old. The lecture hall in the West Hall is called Xishe, and students are under eight years old.

There are more than 70 students in the three dormitories plus reading companions.

Regardless of whether students learn well or not, they will not repeat a grade. But those who are particularly outstanding can skip a grade.

Xunxiang is under twelve years old and has just come to school. She can be in the main dormitory or the east dormitory. Because she was so outstanding, she went directly to the main house.

As soon as they walked outside the door, the eunuch guarding the door was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed.

Entering the courtyard, all the teachers and students in the room came out to kneel and kowtow, including a gray-haired old man.

"Meet the Emperor."

"Pingshen. Haha, Li Lao Aiqing is here too."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "On the first day of school every year, I have to give the first lesson."

Old Master Li is already sixty-eight years old. Although he has not yet become an official, he only has a false title. He does not go to court at ordinary times. When he is in good health, he gives lessons to the princes and princesses.

Most of the time he gave lectures to the prince, and he only occasionally came to Jingfangzhai to give lectures. This is the emperor's special request to give gold to the students of Jingfangzhai. The sixth princess even acted coquettishly, "Father, you are here too. My daughter misses you."

Gao Mingshan also shouted, "Grandfather."

In the end, the emperor held Xunxiang in one hand and Sixth Princess in the other, and the three of them walked into the main residence first.

Gao Mingshan pouted in anger.

The lecture hall is about fifty or sixty square meters, with a podium and no blackboard. The students do not sit in one direction facing the teacher like in the previous life, but sit sideways in two rows with an open space in the middle.

The surrounding walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings by painters or calligraphers, and Xun Xiang's calligraphy is hung on the left wall. There is also a red seal stamped below, which reads "Dongshe layman".

Dongshe Jushi is Xunxiang's nickname to commemorate her life in Jiaodong.

Xunxiang is the youngest in the main room, so she is arranged to sit at the first table on the left.

Reading companion Tao Jing sat at the same table with her.

The emperor looked at where Xun Xiang was sitting, looked around the lecture hall, exchanged a few words with Taifu Li and Song Shangyi as parents, and encouraged the students before leaving.

Song Shangyi was in her twenties and looked serious at Duan Fang, equivalent to the principal and dean of Jingfangzhai.

Aunt Fang, who is in charge of the main house, is equivalent to the head teacher and life teacher of the main house.

The girl put the school supplies on the table and the basket under the table, and then went to the ear room.

Several gentlemen and the steward's aunt came in. The students stood up, straightened their clothes first, and then performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

Most of these are royal children. They don't need to kowtow to be their disciples, but they have to pray for blessings. Next, clean your hands and add cinnabar to enlighten your mind.

This is the opening ceremony.

After completing the opening ceremony, Mr. Li gave the first lesson.

What he is talking about today is the "Cao GUI Debate" in "Zuo Zhuan".

Xunxiang's heart moved. She had learned this article when she was in school in her previous life.

Taifu Li Yin Yang read it once and said, "I taught you this article last year, can you memorize it?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he started explaining.

He knew that except for two or three companion readers, no one else would memorize it.

He sat behind the podium and spoke with his eyes closed, his voice was small and a little hoarse.

Except for Xunxiang and the two companions who listened carefully, no one else knew what they were thinking.

The old man's speech was very simple and he did not convey the essence at all. He must have thought that the little girls would not listen carefully if he continued to talk.

He would definitely not dare to be so perfunctory when giving lectures to the prince and grandson.

Xunxiang felt even more that there was no point in taking unnutritious classes here.

After finishing speaking, Mr. Li opened his eyes and asked, "Do you understand?"

There were a few sparse responses from below, "I understand."

If it had been before, he would have said, "Okay, just write it down again."

get out of class is over as soon as you finish writing.

As long as the girls can read and write the Four Books and Five Classics, it doesn't matter whether they understand the meaning or not.

Today, Mrs. Li looked at Xun Xiang, "Princess Xiangxiang didn't answer, did she not understand?"

The sixth princess said, "She is a talented woman, how could she not understand."

There was laughter below.

Taifu Li tapped the podium with his ruler and said, "Quiet."

His eyes looked at Xunxiang again.

Xunxiang stood up and said, "I probably understand."

"Okay. Let's talk about the Battle of Changshao between Qi and Lu. Why did the weak Lu defeat the strong Qi?"

In his opinion, although the little princess was good at painting, calligraphy, and poetry, she would definitely not be interested in these strategies. As long as the little girl can deal with it a few words, he can go to the emperor to pay his respects.
