Chapter 21 Coffin Board
So early the next morning, before anyone else came, the fourth prince arrived first.

Princess Duan was born into a family of military commanders, and she was undisciplined and willful. She was really a little afraid of her more serious nephew.

Sheng Minglin was quite happy, sitting and talking to him.

It didn't take long before the four companions arrived.

Most of the companions of the Dasheng Dynasty were of low status.

For example, among the seventh prince's companions, one is the child of his wet nurse, one is the seventh prince's maternal cousin, and the other two are young Hanlins.

It was also the custom of the Dasheng Dynasty to choose Hanlin who was born as a Jinshi to be his companion. He was a half-sister and could give him some advice.

With a status like a companion, you don't need three masters to entertain you. You can just call him in, give him a gift, and then have someone take him down and place him.

After a while, Master Wu arrived first.

He also came in for a face-to-face meeting, and then the seventh prince personally escorted him to his courtyard.

The Seventh Prince left, and Master Wen Xu Heshu also arrived.

Xu Heshu has a slender appearance and a beautiful beard. He looks very gentle and does not look like the legendary "coffin board" at all.

A few people were chatting when they heard someone outside say: "Master! Little master, please slow down!"

The next moment, the little man ran in panting.

Zhuzhu was thinking about going to school with her brother, so she ran over without eating breakfast, for fear of missing her.

When she came in and saw that she had caught up, Zhuzhu was extremely happy and took the initiative to say hello to the only person she didn't recognize: "Are you Xu Xianhe?"

Xu Heshu: "...??"

He cupped his hands and said, "Princess Princess, my surname is Xu Minghong, and my courtesy name is Heshu."

As soon as he said his last name was Xu Minghong, Sheng Minglin suddenly frowned.

He always felt as if he had heard the name Xu Hong somewhere... but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Nai Tuanzi nodded seriously beside her, feeling that she was very polite. She imitated her mother's usual way of greeting others, and said in a sweet voice, "Does your illness hurt? Zhuzhu's illness is very painful." "

She pointed to her forehead.

Xu Heshu: "...??"

He said strangely: "I am not sick, what does the princess mean by this?"

"Huh?" Zhuzhu tilted her little head: "But my mother said you have a lot of problems... um..."

Princess Duan pulled her to her side, covered her mouth, and said calmly: "The child is talking nonsense, Mr. Xu, don't worry about it."

Xu Heshu glanced at her and said nothing.

Princess Duan coughed twice in embarrassment and said quickly: "Silang Minglin, take Mr. Xu to Yanhai Pavilion to have a look."

The fourth prince had already noticed it. He sighed and said nothing. He stood up and said, "Master Xu, please."

Zhuzhu didn't know what she had done wrong at all. She was struggling with her moans and groans. Even though her mouth was covered, she could still tell that the sound she made was "four pots of pot".

The fourth prince couldn't bear it, so he turned around and coaxed her: "Zhuzhu, fourth brother will come see you later."

As soon as she heard this, Princess Duan knew that her eldest nephew was coming to teach her again, and she couldn't help but relax.

Zhuzhu took the opportunity to pounce out and hugged the fourth prince's leg: "Zhuzhu is going too."

The fourth prince stretched out his hand to rub her hair and said warmly: "Brother wants to study. This is a business matter. Zhuzhu is not allowed to cause trouble."

Zhuzhu said quickly: "Zhuzhu also wants to study!"

The fourth prince said: "Zhuzhu is still young, so we have to wait for another two years."

Zhuzhu's little head shook like a rattle: "No wait, no wait, Zhuzhu wants to study with Guo Guo!"

The fourth prince made a serious face: "No, no nonsense."

Zhuzhu let go of her hands and lay down on the ground skillfully. She folded her little hands together and was about to pretend to cry... Suddenly she remembered something.

She maintained this posture, tilted her head and thought for a while, then got up again, clasped her little hands and bowed to the fourth prince: "Siguoguo, please! Siguoguo is the best, Zhuzhu loves Siguo the most. Guo, whatever Si Guo Guo wants, Zhu Zhu will give it to you. Si Guo Guo please be happy soon..."

As she spoke, she shook her head vigorously.Although her behavior of imitating a puppy wagging its tail was a bit silly and cute, Sheng Minglin saw it and suddenly felt very moved!

Although Tuanzi can be a little bit bearish sometimes, she listens to advice!Change it if you say so!You really couldn't be more obedient!

He couldn't help but reach out and touch her soft fur.

The fourth prince also lost his composure and looked at Xu Heshu hesitantly.

Xu Heshu knitted his brows and looked at Princess Duan.

The head of the family, Princess Duan, lowered her head and looked at the embroidery on her sleeves carefully.

Xu Heshu said in a deep voice: "Princess, studying is not fun, you can't mess around."

"What's wrong with Zhuzhu!" Naituanzi said, "Studying is about studying, not playing. Zhuzhu understands everything!"

Xu Heshu glanced at Princess Duan again.

Princess Duan finally coughed: "Zhuzhu is about to turn three years old and is very smart. Is it not a bad idea to be enlightened at this time?" Seeing that Xu Heshu was about to open his mouth to say something, she continued: "The Emperor also agreed."

Xu Heshu choked.

The fourth prince hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "My father did agree to Zhuzhu's request for this matter."

Xu Heshu didn't say anything. He cupped his hands to show that he understood, then rolled up his sleeves and left.

A few people walked inside in silence.

Sheng Minglin was encouraged by Tuanzi's performance just now and asked her, "Why does Zhuzhu want to go to school?"

Tuanzi was cute: "I want to be with Guo Guo."

"Any more?"

Tuanzi thought for a while and said in a sweet voice: "Zhuzhu also wants to be like Guoguo and say a lot of things that Zhuzhu doesn't understand."

What he said was a bit like studying.

Sheng Minglin wrote to Xu He: "Mr. Xu, although Zhuzhu is small, she is very obedient. She can't understand at most, but she won't make a fuss. Just lecture as usual, sir. Don't worry about her causing trouble."

Xu Heshu nodded: "Yes."

Sheng Minglin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that this person's temperament was indeed a bit inappropriate.

Although the Dasheng Dynasty had always respected teachers and education since the time of Taizu, his status was still very high.

But as Zhuzhu was a favored little princess, he was talking about this again, and there was a fourth prince beside him. Especially since "the emperor agreed", why didn't Xu Heshu come down the steps?

You still have to show off your face... That's almost like being disrespectful.

He didn't say much and led him all the way. The seventh prince also came over halfway. Zhuzhu was hugged by the fourth prince and happily called people: "Qi Guo Guo!"

The seventh prince pretended not to hear and spoke to Xu Heshu very respectfully.

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes.

Sheng Minglin also noticed it sensitively, and he thought to himself that no wonder the fourth prince came over today, so that's it!

The braid on the seventh prince's head was too ostentatious. Someone probably took notice of it, so the fourth prince came to take a look.

He secretly raised his heart and talked with the fourth prince all the way to Yanhai Pavilion.

Yanhai Pavilion is a hall in the outer courtyard. It is by the lake. It is not big, but it is enough for studying.

Although Princess Duan did things casually, the mansion was neatly maintained, with everything arranged, even a small table and chairs suitable for Zhuzhu to sit on, placed at the front.

When Zhuzhu saw it, her face turned red with excitement. She ran over and sat down, shouting: "Si Guo Guo, you are tired of sitting here! Guo Guo Guo, you are tired of sitting here! Qi Guo Guo, Qi Guo Guo, come here." Sit down!"

Seeing that the seventh prince ignored her, Zhuzhu ran over and held his hand, but the seventh prince shook him off without even thinking.

The fourth prince's brows suddenly wrinkled, but he watched quietly without speaking.

Sheng Minglin pretended to wander back and forth, but in fact he was secretly keeping an eye on how the Seventh Prince would turn over.
