Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1126 Lotus Academy

Although the student resources of Lotus Academy are continuously gathered, God bless them and they have nothing to study.

Feng Chuan and Xu Shanchang couldn't laugh or cry, because there were too many children of officials and gentry who signed up, and the current school building simply couldn't accommodate so many students.Originally, I thought about accepting a group of students to start the school first, and then expanding the academy.But right now, many people come to study in order to cling to the children of the governor's mansion, who is willing to be the second batch?

Although the Academy is currently under the protection of the Governor's Mansion, the running of the school is inseparable from the help of local officials and gentry, and it is not easy for the two of them to offend everyone.

In desperation, Feng Chuan had no choice but to come forward and discuss with Cao Yong, asking Tianyou and others to postpone their enrollment for two months.As for their studies, Feng Chuan invited a senior official from Beijing to sit in the governor's mansion to teach them.

Cao Yong did not disagree, and he was also surprised that so many officials and gentry children signed up for the Lotus Academy.

After all, at this time, message delivery is not as convenient as later generations.Immediately he was relieved, after all, Qingyuan is where the Governor's Yamen is located, just like the whole country's official circles are staring at the capital, Zhili officials, big and small, are also staring at Qingyuan...

The Governor's Mansion, the inner house.

Today is the day of "recognition of relatives", but it is not like Xie Tianlai's wife and Zhu Zhilian who have the same surname and the same hometown, and they are married, but Gao Taijun meets Zhu Zhilian's family.

No one thought that Gao Taijun's mother was none other than Daiwang and Princess.

In the war at the end of the previous dynasty, the Daiwang princess and his family were separated in the flames of war and were rescued by Gao Taijun's father.The two hit it off and became husband and wife, Gao Taijun is the eldest daughter of the two.Because of the sensitive identity of the princess, the husband and wife hid it as a secret.

Later, the descendants of Daiwang Pangzhi were also plundered and wrapped in white flags, but Gao Taijun's parents did not come forward to recognize their relatives.

In the early years of Kangxi, the imperial court was less strict on the descendants of Zhu Ming. This descendant took the rest of the tribe from Datong, and the Daiwang and Princess still did not recognize their relatives, but only mentioned his own life experience to his daughter.

When Gao Taijun was in the capital a few days ago, she didn't know about the fact that the descendants of the king were enshrined and sacrificed to the former emperor's tomb; it was when she arrived in Zhili, when Mrs. Zhuhou came to pay her respects, that she knew about it.

When he heard that Zhu Zhilian's branch was the royal family who moved from Datong to the capital in the early years of Shunzhi, the old man asked a few more questions.But it just so happened that Zhu Zhilian's great-grandfather was the eldest son of the former king's concubine and the uncle of Mrs. Gao.Because he was enshrined in the mansion as an adult, he was far away from the palace, but he was preserved during the war.

Speaking of relatives, five clothes have already been released, but Mrs. Gao is still very happy.

When I was in the capital, some members of the Gao clan heard that she was being raised in Cao's mansion, and they went to pay their respects, but they were all relatives in the next room.And because there are few contacts, Gao Taijun is not close to him.

Gao Taijun was afraid of causing trouble to Cao Yong, so he did not directly recognize the Zhu family as relatives, but first asked Cao Yong and Li's opinions.

Li knew that Gao Taijun was not close to the Gao clan, otherwise he would not have given all his love to the younger generation of the Li family, and he hoped that the old man would have two more relatives to visit, so as to relieve the old man's loneliness in his later years.But it would be fine if the other party was an ordinary person. This is a descendant of the former royal family and an official of his son, so Li still obeys his son's opinion.

Cao Yong has no intention of objecting, even if the identity of the other party is more sensitive, but the relatives are so far away, even if they recognize it, it is just a family who walks around by a name, which is nothing.

Several generations or more, after all, it happened eight or ninety years ago, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, this kind of out-of-service relatives, just like the dry relatives recognized by Xie Tianlai's wife, are just multiple relatives. That's all.

When he came to Zhili in March, Cao Yong had a pretty good impression of Zhu Zhilian, and he didn't feel disgusted by his relatives.

Therefore, this is the move of today's governor's mansion to recognize relatives.

There was no fanfare, but Zhu Zhilian's family was invited to visit the house in the form of a family banquet.

Hearing Madam Gao talk about the origins of the two families, although Zhu Zhilian was surprised, he honestly talked about seniority and accepted Sun Li.If someone else mentioned this matter, he still had to ponder whether it was the other party's clinging.

But when the governor's grandmother mentioned this matter, Zhu Zhilian couldn't make random guesses.In addition, after Mrs. Zhu returned to the mansion last time, she mentioned to her husband that Mr. Gao asked him about this lineage, which made Zhu Zhilian somewhat prepared, so she was not very surprised.

"Aunt and grandma, since my great aunt and grandmother were also in the capital, why didn't I come forward to meet my grandfather? When my grandfather passed away, I was still young, but I still remember clearly. After my grandfather arrived in Beijing, he came forward to look for everyone in the palace." Zhu Zhilian Thinking of the old things, he asked.

When Gao Taijun mentioned the past, he also sighed endlessly, and said: "I also asked my mother back then. After going through the wars and chaos of the dynasty change, my mother was like a frightened bird, fearing that my father would be implicated if her identity as a descendant of the royal family was leaked; To the ancestors, that's why I didn't come forward to recognize my relatives."

Mentioning the word "coating", Zhu Zhilian smiled wryly, and said softly: "I think my aunt also heard about it, the emperor's grace, in addition to rewarding him with the title, also carried his grandson out of the coat and entered the Han army. "

Gao Taijun's eyes were a little wet, he nodded, and said: "Okay, okay, finally let the children and grandchildren be able to be human."

Zhu Zhilian's eyes also turned red, and he said: "Yes, at least there is no need for the descendants to serve as slaves. The elder sister of the grandson entered the palace because of Xiaoxuan, died of illness in the palace, and did not come out."

"Lady..." Gao Taijun was very moved when he heard this, he sighed after a while, and said: "It's all life, no one can earn it..."

Mrs. Li sat beside her, but what she heard was apprehensive.

She was raised in the Li family and married into the Cao family. The old friends who walked around the house in the early years were mostly from the Household Department, so she didn't feel that Bao Yi's status was so low.

After all, the "common masters of the Eight Banners" that the Manchus paid attention to, as long as they were bannermen, they were the emperor's slaves.The Three Banners of the House of Internal Affairs has the status of a servant of the emperor, and most of his errands are to take care of the royal private property.

But after listening to what Gao Taijun and Zhu Zhilian said, she realized that in the eyes of the two, the identity of the coat is a shame.

Only Cao Yong, as a bystander of history, can somewhat understand the feelings of the Zhu family and Daiwang princess.From the royal family with more than [-] people to the slaves who are struggling to survive, the distance between them is not a star and a half.

Seeing that Mrs. Gao was in a bad mood, Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "Mrs. Zhu Hou is still waiting in the front yard with the children. My elder brother is handsome, and my sister is also pretty. Mother will definitely like it."

After hearing this, Gao Taijun didn't make a sound, but looked at Zhu Zhilian.

Zhu Zhilian hurriedly said: "It's time for their mother and son to come and kowtow to my aunt."

Afterwards, Mrs. Li sent a message to Chuyu who was accompanying the guests in the front yard, and Chuyu brought Liu's mother and three of them to Mr. Gao's room to pay their respects.

Hearing that Mrs. Gao was her husband's cousin and grandmother, Mrs. Liu was relieved.She thought that the two families might be related, but she was also worried.After all, in terms of age, Gao Taijun is more like a relative of his father's generation. If they recognize relatives like that, their husband and wife will be a generation higher than the governor.

In that case, it will be embarrassing even if you walk around in the future.No family would like to have two elder relatives living in the same house for nothing.

In this way, being equal to the Governor saves a lot of trouble.

Seeing Gao Taijun's kindness, her husband also changed his address, Liu's son and daughter were very meek, and kowtowed to Gao Taijun.

Zhu Ting, the second son of the Zhu family, born of Mrs. Liu, is 16 years old this year. He was a scholar in his early years and is now studying in a government school.

Because of the imperial court's decree, Banner Han does not marry, and there are countless families in Qingyuan City in Banner, so the two brothers and sisters have not discussed marriage yet.

Gao Taijun pulled this one, looked at that one, praised it several times, and asked someone to give a meeting gift, Zhu Ting's was a bat jade pendant, Zhu Shuang'er was a beeswax bracelet, Liu's was a pair of twisted silk gold bracelets, Zhu Zhilian It is a side of Ziyu printing material.

Since it is a recognition of relatives, in addition to Gao Taijun, there must be everyone in the Cao family.

Zhu Zhilian took his wife and children and wanted to kowtow to Li Shi, but was stopped by Li Shi.Liu's is okay, in his early forties, a little younger than Li's, and Zhu Zhilian is also over fifty, not a few years younger than Li.

In the end, the couple stood and saluted, and the children kowtowed to Mrs. Li.

Afterwards, their husband and wife met again with Cao Yong and Chu Yu.

At this moment, Tianyou and the others were also summoned to Mr. Gao's place to meet with the Zhu family.

When introducing the brothers Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng, Liu was very careful, especially Zuo Cheng, who took a few extra glances.

Although Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng are twins, they looked similar when they were young, but they can still see the difference when they grow up.Zuo's father Xiao has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is not as smooth as Ning Chun, and is a bit more honest; Zuo Cheng looks like his mother, with more delicate eyebrows and eyes, and is more agile than Tian's.

In this way, Zuo Cheng looks a little more handsome than Zuo Zhu.

While Mrs. Zhuhou was looking at the children, Tianyou and Zuozhu were all looking at Zhu Ting.

The three of them passed the children's examination at the age of 12, and they have heard a lot of praise in their daily life.But as far as they know, the young master of the Hou's mansion in front of him has passed the boy's test at the age of ten.It’s just that I don’t know why, I haven’t participated in the rural examination all these years.

Looking at Zhu Ting right now, he is not bookish, he is polite and amiable.God bless them all, this "cousin" is very willing to call him.

Niu Niu and Tian Hui were growing up, even if they were relatives, it was not easy to stay with young men around, so after meeting everyone, they dragged Zhu Shuang'er to the next room to talk.

God bless them all imitating the example and invited Zhu Ting out to talk.

The Cao family has no arrogance, and the Zhu family is not a high-ranking and lonely idiot. When they get along with each other, they get close naturally.

Gao Taijun was in a good mood, so he sent Zhu Zhilian and Cao Yong away, leaving Mrs. Liu to gossip with her.

Only Changsheng had no one to talk to, so he complained to Chuyu in a low voice and coaxed Tianbao to go out to play.

Hearing that Zhu Ting would also go to Lotus Academy in April, Tianyou was very surprised: "Students from the government school can also study outside? Can the education department allow it?"

People like Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng are not counted, because they moved with their elders, and they only need to file with the government and school.On Zhu Ting's side, he learned from government officials to volunteers.

Zhu Ting said: "My native place is in Shuntian Mansion, and now I'm in Qingyuan. It's just an attached school. I just need to say hello to Jiaoyu."

Tianyou hesitated for a moment, and asked: "My cousin has been selected as a freshman, and there have been three chances for the provincial examination. Why didn't my cousin fail? Is he waiting for his accumulation?"

Zhu Ting smiled and said, "I won't take part in the provincial examination. When I grow up, I will walk the path of kindness..."
