Xianggui

Chapter 431 Fight for opportunities

Xunxiang felt that maybe Li Fei did it on purpose.

Let the emperor and others see that there are things she can't do and there are people she can't teach well. For the sake of my son and grandson, if I deliberately teach this granddaughter a lesson, maybe I can use it...

In this way, the intention of making friends with Gao Shanzhu should not be obvious, and let her slowly get closer to him.

Xunxiang smiled and said, "I really can't beat her."

The more she said this, the more Gao Shanzhu didn't believe it. He wrinkled his nose and said, "Only a ghost will believe you."

Gao Mingzhu also smiled and said, "My grandfather said that cousin Xiangxiang is a great talent, so he asked me to learn more from cousin Xiangxiang."

The second class is a calligraphy class, taught by Yan Hanlin, who is good at calligraphy.

Yan Hanlin is in his fifties, dark and serious.

The male gentlemen who come to Jingfangzhai to give lectures must be over fifty years old and must not be too handsome. People like Xun Consort must never come here.

Yan Hanlin's calligraphy is not as good as Xun's Consort's, but better than Xun Xiang's.

But Xun Xiang is not yet twelve years old. With her talent and the guidance of Prince Consort Xun, she is very likely to catch up with him in two or three years.

Yan Hanlin believed that he could not teach Xun Xiang, and had only one word for him: good.

After a class, the little girls went to the wing to eat and rest.

The afternoon class is on women’s training, and today we’re going to talk about “Proverbs for Women’s History”.

The lecturer is Fan Zhaoyi, the palace's female historian, who is also the emperor's wife.

Xunxiang disliked this kind of class the most. It was all about women making things difficult for women, which made her chest feel tight. But she knew that this kind of class must be taken well on the surface.

Even a few young ladies who usually don't study hard don't dare to act recklessly during lectures.

Xunxiang felt drowsy after hearing this, but she still managed to keep her eyes open.

Finally, after class, Tao Jing returned to Tao Mansion and Xun Xiang returned to Kunning Palace.

Taifu Li's praise of Xun Xiang has reached Queen Ye's ears.

Empress Ye hugged Xun Xiang and smiled and said, "Taifu Li said that Xiang Xiang is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and has unique insights. She is familiar with "Spring and Autumn" and her knowledge is not inferior to that of a man..."

Xunxiang pulled Queen Ye's sleeves, frowned and pouted, making a cute look.

"Grandma, can I not go to Jingfangzhai to attend classes? My husband's lectures to the young lady must be different from those of the princes. He cannot explain many things. I might as well read at home and ask my father and ancestors if I don't understand anything. …”

After hearing this, Queen Ye was happy and proud, and felt that letting Xiangxiang study with those little girls was delaying her.

Before dinner, the emperor came to Kunning Palace excitedly.

He then asked about several passages from The Analects of Confucius and Zuo Zhuan.

Xunxiang said according to his own understanding. Although it is relatively straightforward, some of the opinions are not exactly the same as those of people of this era and are very innovative.

The emperor smiled and said, "At a young age, I have quick thinking and unique insights... Haha, just like me. However, don't be proud, don't be complacent, learning never ends. If you learn without thinking, you will be in vain; if you think without learning, you will be lazy..."

At this time, the emperor was like an ordinary parent. He was happy with his child's progress and taught her to continue working hard.

Xun Xiang nodded and said, "Xiang Xiang remembers the teachings of the emperor's grandfather."

Although it was very difficult for her, she still made the request to stay at home more and learn what she wanted to learn and do what she did. The queen helped to plead, "I also feel that Xiangxiang is too smart. Unlike other young ladies, she can learn some subjects better at home. In her family, there are good gentlemen like Prince Consort Xun and Old Master Xun."

The emperor rubbed his chest. The more satisfied he was with his granddaughter, the more his heart ached.

It would be great if those princes and grandsons were so smart. The previous second son was good, but he was from the Liang family. The current third son is not bad, but he is half Goryeo.

Among the rest, the eldest son is dull, the fourth son is eager for quick success, the fifth son is soft-hearted, and the seventh son is mediocre...all are not what he wants.

As for the little grandsons, I can't tell yet, but they are definitely not as good as Xun Xiang.

Another little face appeared in front of his eyes. Master Mingyuan said that if he could survive the age of twelve, he would have a promising future. Cousin Min said that he was smart, kind, lovable and cute...

But he is already in the age of destiny.

The emperor thought of a possibility and asked, "Xiangxiang has the courage of a man. He is not outdone by women at a young age. Do you want to go to the study room to study? You are still young. You can stay there with your uncle and cousin before you reach the age of twelve. My cousins ​​have been studying for most of the year.”

The upper study room is where the princes and grandsons study.

Xunxiang was even more reluctant to go. The main thing here is to learn tactics and control people.

Grandpa Huang likes her like this, who knows if the next emperor will like her like this.

It was a rare time for her to travel back in time, but she still wanted to do what she liked and grew up in, and live happily.

She shook her head and Nuo Nuo said, "I don't want to go. What do you want me to do if you learn those things? Can you join the cabinet after you learn it?"

No matter how nice she is, she must also let the emperor know that she is not interested in court affairs.

The emperor laughed loudly and pinched her little face with his hands. "What are you thinking about? That's all. If you don't want to learn, just don't learn. However, you are still young and have no fear of jumping out. You must learn this year's Finished reading the book.”

Seeing Xun Xiang pouting, she added, "I have to attend the 'girl training' class on the third day of every ten days. Come and take it only on the third day of the tenth day. It's also time to go to the palace to accompany me and the queen."

No matter how enlightened he is, he is still a feudal emperor, hoping that future generations will comply with the minimum moral standards.

Xun Xiang happily knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Grandpa Huang." Then she hit his knee with a stick and said, "Grandpa Huang, it's boring to be bored in the house all day, so Xiangxiang opened a fourth-grade study."

She wanted to get more opportunities for herself to leave the house and make some things clear.

The emperor disapproved and said, "Is Xiangxiang short of money to open a shop?"

Xun Xiang didn't stand up, but grabbed the dragon robe on the emperor's lap with her small hands, and looked at him with the clearest and most respectful eyes.

"Xiangxiang is not short of money. Xiangxiang saw that the emperor's grandfather worked hard for the world and only had two hours of rest every day. He was very distressed. The emperor's grandfather was worried about the world's worries before the world's happiness. Xiangxiang also wanted to do it for the emperor's grandfather. Share a little worry and do something within your ability.

"Xiangxiang doesn't know much about government affairs, so he wants to contribute a little bit in general affairs... The Ding family's 'Baotie' was just a blacksmith shop for two people at first. Now it has developed into a large workshop with more than 2,000 people. Made ductile iron..."

"In the past, Jiulu Zhixiu Pavilion only sold embroidery and knots, but now it sells cotton and woolen fabrics, and the clothes are loved by everyone. This fourth-grade study sounds like a study, and its purpose is to enjoy books, tea and life. It is different from other study rooms.

"Although the study is small, it may inspire other people, and even other industries, to think deeply... There are many things that are not afraid of not being possible, but afraid of not being able to think of. Xiangxiang wishes for long live the emperor's grandfather, long live the great Li dynasty, and its national strength for thousands of generations. I am strong and prosperous, and I also want the people of the Li Dynasty to be prosperous and happy."

On a small scale, these are general affairs; on a larger scale, they are national strength and people's livelihood.

　Thank you to Menghui Moganshan, cm-Ea, and Duckweed in the Water for your tips, and thank you for your monthly votes. . . Qingquan didn't post anything yesterday and didn't dare to read the comments for fear of seeing my friends' disappointment. . . Before, Qingquan mainly thought about the first half of Wenwen, and the second half was very vague. I started writing, and I was very confused. Yesterday I calmed down and sorted out the follow-up plot. . .
