During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

At this time, Eunuch Fulin brought a plate of snacks to the emperor, "Your Majesty, these are the snacks brought by Miss Jiang. They are still hot when they are freshly taken out of the pot. Your Majesty has just drank the medicine. Do you want to try it? I have already tried it." Not poisonous."

The emperor glanced lightly, and a strong fragrance of milk hit his face. He swallowed the words of rejection again, and his eyes lit up, "What is the name of this snack?"

Eunuch Fulin smiled awkwardly, "This name?"

Jiang Miao replied: "In response to Your Majesty, the name of this snack is egg tart."

The emperor liked to eat dairy products. Milk cake used to be his favorite snack. After eating cakes made by Jiang Miao, he fell in love with cakes again.

Now just smelling the aroma of egg tarts, he already likes them.

Princess Huandu picked up a piece of egg tart. It was crispy on the outside but as smooth and tender as tofu on the inside. "How do you eat this? Do you want to eat it directly?"

"You can eat it directly, or you can eat it with a spoon."

Princess Huandu tasted it cautiously, her eyes brightened, and her facial features were injected with vitality, majestic and energetic.

"It's delicious. Father, would you like to try it too?"

The emperor opened his mouth, and from the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Miao staring at him, her face stiffened, and she was leaning lazily on the pillow embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.

Jiang Miao's heart skipped a beat, didn't the emperor like to eat it? But when Luo Tingye left yesterday, he clearly said that the emperor would like to eat it!

Did your taste change because you were sick?

The palace servant brought a small spoon, but the emperor did not speak, neither said he would eat nor said he would not eat.

This made everyone's hearts arouse.

Princess Huandu ate one. It had a strong and fragrant taste. It was slippery and delicious. She was still unsatisfied. "Father, if you don't like it, can Huandu take it away?"

"No!" The emperor didn't want to refuse.

"Why, doesn't my father not like eating?"

emperor:"……"

"It doesn't matter if you take away someone's feelings, that's all. Take it away first!"

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Fulin meaningfully.

Eunuch Fulin had a smile on his face and was about to retreat.

Princess Huandu hurriedly took one more dish from the plate, "There are so many and my father can't finish them anyway. Huandu will help you."

Emperor: ...No need!

Looking at the four egg tarts left on the plate, the emperor quickly winked at Eunuch Fulin and told him to take them away quickly before Huandu ate them all.

"Father, please let Sister Jiang sit down and speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Compared with Huandu's casualness, the emperor found Jiang Miao a little more pleasing to the eye, but only for a moment.

"I heard that you have been studying with your elder brother these past few years?"

"Who said that?" Jiang Miao asked stupidly.

emperor:"……"

This time even Eunuch Fulin's face looked a little more anxious.

Jiang Miao noticed the look in Princess Huandu's eyes and reacted, "A civilian girl is used to being free outside the palace. I didn't stop for a while. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor raised his forehead and said, "That's all, tell me what books you have read?"

Jiang Miao said seriously: "The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Zhuangzi, Spring and Autumn Period, Daxue..."

The emperor's face darkened, how could a girl read so many books? A student of Guozixue has never read Mencius, so she brazenly claims that she has read them all?

Why is the girl Ye'er likes such a big talker?

Princess Huandu knew that Jiang Miao sometimes liked to brag, but now was not the time to brag, as she might be guilty of deceiving the emperor.

"Since you have read Mencius, why don't you talk about Mencius' chapter on dedication, verse 40, there are five reasons why a gentleman teaches: There are those who are transformed by the rain of time, there are those who become virtuous, there are those who achieve wealth, there are those who answer questions, there are those who teach Those who are private and Shuai. These five things are why gentlemen teach them."

Jiang Miao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a translation. If she was asked to recite the entire text, she would not be able to memorize it.

"The main point is that there are five ways for a gentleman to educate people. Some are to nourish and educate people like timely rain; some are to perfect moral character; some are to cultivate talents; some are to answer questions; and some are to influence others with their knowledge and demeanor to become private disciples. These five ways are the way a gentleman educates people.”

Jiang Miao added, "To put it simply, we tell teachers to teach students in accordance with their aptitude."

Princess Huandu blinked at Jiang Miao. Oh my god, she had memorized such a difficult and difficult meaning and summarized it.

Amazing!

The emperor said slightly seriously: "Mencius contains many ways of being a person and doing things. Normal people can benefit a lot from reading Mencius."

"Tell me again. Tang Zhipan's inscription says: "It is new every day, new every day, and new every day. "Kang Gao" said: "Become a new people." "Poetry" said: "Although Zhou was an old state, its destiny was restored." "That's why a gentleman does everything he can. What does that mean?"

It was so difficult to speak that Princess Huandu gave up after hearing three sentences.

It should be university content, and only second-year students of Guozixue can learn it?

Even if Jiang Miao was studying with Jiang Qian, she probably wouldn't be able to answer the question. You must know that they take the college entrance examination every year during the Imperial Academy, but not many get high scores.

It can be seen that it is difficult to understand.

Princess Huandu felt that Jiang Miao would definitely not be able to answer, so how should she solve it?

The emperor sniffed. The scent of egg tarts still lingered in the air, which made the gluttons in his stomach come out.

However, before eating, he wanted to expose Jiang Miao's true identity to prevent Ye'er from being deceived by her, so he said that a girl who grew up in the countryside had no knowledge.

"Didn't you just say you went to college? Why can't you answer such a simple question?"

"Father, this is so simple that even my son can't answer it!"

Princess Huandu tried to help Jiang Miao in a coquettish way.

The emperor didn't buy it.

Just when everyone was sweating for Jiang Miao, Jiang Miao exhaled and translated:

"It means that there was a text engraved on the tub where King Tang bathed as a warning: "Sincerity can remove the dirt of the old stains, and constantly seek innovation. The day is new again, and the new is endless." "

"Kang Gao" said: "We must also encourage the people to reform."

"The Book of Songs" says: "Although Zhou was an ancient state, under King Wen he was able to establish a new people, inherit the destiny, and establish a new country."

Therefore, virtuous people should devote themselves to the work of innovation. "

"..."

"..."

"..."

After not hearing a sound for a long time, Jiang Miao couldn't help but look up and met the emperor's gaze, "Am I wrong?"

The emperor coughed lightly and said, "That's right. Have you really read so many books and memorized them all?"

"I've seen it and remember some of it."

Jiang Miao only read it, and did not recite the entire text like a scholar. She only understood the general meaning and read the original text several times. Her elder brother said that her study was different from other scholars. She did not have to take the imperial examination, as long as she understood the sages in it. Just the principles and ways of conducting yourself in the world will suffice.
