The only favorite Qing Palace: Concubine Xi An

Chapter 274 Hong Shi
Mr. Xi Hongshi is not an unknown person.He is the apprentice of Zhang Ying, a bachelor, and his name is Cheng Rong.

Who is Zhang Ying? He was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Kangxi.The father of Minister Zhang Tingyu, his talent and learning were quite appreciated by Lord Kangxi.Once an official to the Bachelor of Wenhuadian University, he also served as the Minister of Rites.He who once paid homage to the prime minister can be regarded as an extremely human minister.

And Si Ye's mentor when he was young was also Zhang Ying.

But Zhang Ying is already old, and he drove to Hexi a few years ago.Over [-] years old, it is really a long life.

As for Cheng Rong, as one of Zhang Ying's several disciples, he was also an editor of the Hanlin Academy.When I was young, I used to edit "National History" and "Yi Tong Zhi" and other books with Zhang Ying.His talent and learning are naturally not to be underestimated.

As for the past few years, Cheng Rong decided to resign as he got older and suffered from gout.

Cheng Rong was originally from the capital.And when he was recuperating at home, fourth master came to visit.

After visiting the thatched cottage three times, Cheng Rong also agreed to the fourth master's request and went to Prince Yong's mansion to teach Xi Hongshi because of his relationship with Zhang Ying as a mentor.

It's just that Hongshi's talent is really not high, and he can't sit still and has a stubborn personality.

In desperation, Cheng Rong said that.

But he never expected that Hongshi would accidentally listen to him.And Hongshi's reaction was so big that he even dropped the inkstone, saying that he would not learn from Cheng Rong anymore.

As a scholar, Cheng Rong is also a real person.When fourth master and Cheng Rong met, they were quite courteous to Cheng Rong.

Now that I'm here in Hongshi, I can't stand it.

Immediately, he was about to walk away.

Seeing this, Su Shunshun in the front yard wanted to go up and stop him.Such a big thing happened here, if fourth master blamed him, he would definitely be punished.

It's a pity, who is Cheng Rong?How could I want to listen to an eunuch say more? After bidding farewell to Su Shunshun, he set off for the gate of Prince Yong's mansion.

Because the weather was still warm, Cheng Rong went out all the way, hardly meeting anyone.

Even if some sweeping maids saw him, they naturally didn't dare to come forward to stop him.Putting on his body and saluting aside, he just watched Cheng Rong leave angrily.

After Cheng Rong left, the little maids looked at each other one by one, fearing that something serious had happened.

But even if something happened, it had nothing to do with these sweeping maids.

But when Cheng Rong was about to reach the gate of the palace, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

He saw two two or three-year-old boys standing not far away, followed by a woman in her twenties.

As soon as the woman was dressed, she knew that she was a woman from the fourth master's mansion.

As for the two little boys, they are naturally Hong Zhou and Hong Li.

With flowers in his hand, Hongli was looking at the door cautiously, and said to Geng Gege: "Aunt Geng, didn't you say that Ama would come back early today? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

Geng Gege touched Hongli's head with a smile, and said, "Don't worry. Wait a little longer, I'll be back soon."

Cheng Rong couldn't figure it out for a while, but seeing that he was going out of the house, he must pass by them.Hearing that the fourth master was coming back, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward.

At that time, Hongli was holding flowers in his hand, and said to Geng Gege: "Give the flowers to Ama later, and ask Ama to give them to Er Niang. Er Niang was talking about it yesterday, and the fourth master never gave her any flowers." .”

There was a happy smile on Hongli's face, obviously hoping that the relationship between his Ama and Erniang could always be as good as this.

Cheng Rong stepped forward, although his face was a bit unhappy, he still greeted them.

After Geng Gege returned the salute respectfully with the two children, Hongli looked at Cheng Rong, smiled and asked, "Are you Mr. Cheng invited back by Ama?"

Cheng Rong was a little surprised when he heard the words, and asked, "This is Cheng Rong, I wonder if you are..."

Between the words, a little more polite.Because Cheng Rong can naturally see that Hongli is not an ordinary person.

Hongli smiled, with joy on his face, and said, "It really is Mr. Cheng. My name is Hongli, and I am the fourth son of Prince Yong."

Of course, Cheng Rong had heard of the name Hongli.

Cheng Rong had never heard of Kangxi's admiration for Hongli.It's just that Cheng Rong also knows that Hongli is still young, so he has never seen him.

But I didn't expect to meet Cheng Rong here today.

Without waiting for Cheng Rong to speak, Hongli said again: "Mr. Cheng looked angry, but did something unhappy happen? If there is any place in the house that treats guests poorly, Hongli will apologize to you."

Saying that, he saluted very respectfully.

Cheng Rong said: "It's nothing. But something happened just now, and I just want to leave the palace."

"What happened? Did someone disrespect Mr. Cheng?" Hongli was shocked, and naturally wanted to ask Cheng Rong to stay.

Hongli also knew something about Fourth Master's hard work in inviting Cheng Rong to come back to teach Hongshi.Moreover, he is someone whom fourth master respects, so Hongli naturally respects him very much.

Cheng Rong shook his head, and only said to Hongli: "When the prince comes back, I will tell him personally."

Geng Gege watched for a long time, although he didn't know the details, he also said: "Anyway, the fourth master is going back home soon. It's sunny now, it's not good for you to stand here, go rest in the gazebo One or two."

These words, of course, want to keep Cheng Rong a little bit.

Why Cheng Rong left them is still unknown.But according to fourth master's respect for Cheng Rong, it's better to keep Cheng Rong.

As for Cheng Rong, his anger dissipated a lot after meeting Hongli and saying a few words.

Now that there is a step down, I can only say: "Since that is the case, then I will wait for the prince to come back, tell the prince about the matter, and then make a decision!"

Hongli and Hongzhou sat aside, looking at Cheng Rong very respectfully.

Hong Zhou has a tiger head and a tiger head, and often jokes with his brother.The words of the pheasant made people feel a little better after listening to them.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the few of them sat down in the gazebo, fourth master came back.

On this day, fourth master was going to come back early, so he told the mansion.

After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and there are some things in the natural mansion that need to be prepared.

As a result, fourth master had just walked to the door when he saw Cheng Rong coming towards him.

The fourth master was very surprised, he bowed his hands towards Cheng Rong and asked, "Mr. Cheng came here on purpose, but what's the matter?"

At this time, Geng Gege and the others naturally retreated in order to avoid taboo.

Seeing this, Cheng Rong told fourth master what happened before.

Fourth Master listened, but at first he just frowned.After hearing that Hong Shi dropped the inkstone later, his hands were clenched into fists, and his veins were about to be exposed.

"Don't worry, sir." Fourth Master suppressed his anger and said to Cheng Rong: "I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
