Fourth Master's Pearl

Chapter 4

go to school.

The school of Prince Yong's Mansion is located in the Ouxiang Study House to the southwest of Yinzhen's Study Room.The house is spacious, with three rooms fully open, facing a pool of spring water and blue waves outside the house.The red koi wriggled its tail with it, happy and free.

At Qingxiao, Chuqing was sadly caught by Chunhua and sent to school.There are only two people who study, and there should be no one who really wants to study.Accompanying readers stood around surrounded by flowers inside and outside the house.Hongshi also had a lot of nurses and maidservants.

The desk is clean and tidy.Chu Qing took a look at the book covers on the desk, and was still studying "Children Learning Qiong Lin", "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic" and so on.She was confident to the point of disappointment.

Give this "Historical Records", dear!Come to this "Warring States Policy", dear!

The master is a generation of Confucianism.The breeze is majestic, slowly enter the door.The long beard that represents learning, and the wide sleeves of the robe show a modest attitude.Chu Qing honestly imitated Hiroshi and said hello.The master received the ceremony of master and apprentice, and greeted them again.

Facing four or five-year-old brats, what can Hong Ru teach?It's like cutting raisins with a big Qinglong Yanyue knife, which is overkill.So the master is nothing more than teaching them to read it a few times, and then let them recite it.This method is the same in ancient and modern times.

Hiroshi doesn't like to ask questions.It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, just memorize one.

Chuqing, do I need to ask?
Have!
She wants to make trouble!

"Master!" Chu Qingtian blinked kindly, trying to act as if she was thirsty for knowledge.

"Please tell me, please." The master liked to answer his questions to show his profound knowledge.

"Qingqing Zijin, caress my heart. But for the sake of the king, I have pondered it until now. Isn't Cao Cao a man? Isn't the green shirt a man's clothes? Could it be that he likes men?"

"This..." Wow wow.

"Master, my fair lady, what does a gentleman mean?"

"Master, when you go out of the east gate, there are women like clouds. Even though they are like clouds, I think about banditry. What's the explanation?"

"Master—what's the matter with you, Master?"

A certain Hongru didn't have time to think about why Xiao Gege only picked love poems and asked him, but he was helpless.

Chu Qing looked forward to it with empathy for a while, and suddenly realized: "It seems that the master doesn't know either, so why don't I ask Sisi."

The master was puzzled: "Who is Sisi? Where is the account set up? Where did the teacher come from?"

Chunhua kindly said, "Go back to Master, it's the prince."

The master is in a panic, something is wrong!
"Gege, I'll go back and study it, and I'll answer it for you another day. The prince is busy with business, so don't bother with such a trivial matter."

The master hastily assigned a few tasks to recite, said to check in the next class, and slipped away.

Hongshi happily held Chu Qing's soft little hand, and said, "Sister Qing, why do you know so much, you even passed the master's exam."

Chuqing raised her head treacherously, "You don't understand."

What likes, lovesickness, men and women, are the strangest and most feared things for this kind of master.

Hongshi hooked his head again and sighed, "I have to recite again."

"So what if you can't recite it? Master, he doesn't dare to punish you."

"Ama will punish. Ama is much more powerful than Master." Hongshi was very afraid of him, and his voice trembled when he mentioned it.

Chuqing's eyes lit up when she heard that. "real?"

"Why lie to you? I'm not a three-year-old kid!"

Chuqing: "..."

"Then how old are you?"

"I'm five years old."

Yinzhen and his master were sitting in the study outside drinking tea.He managed to come back earlier today, exhausted all over.Taking a sip of clear tea, he listened to his master's recent lectures with an unwavering expression.

His slender fingers rested on a stack of Hongshi's recent practice brushes.

The first son died when he was eight years old, and the second son was sick. At present, only Hongshi is the elder brother who can look forward to.He cannot help paying attention to discipline.But listening to the master talk about his homework, even if it is concealed, it is still not satisfactory.

Yinzhen thought about it and asked casually: "According to Master, how is Xiao Gege's learning?"

The master was worried about this matter for several days.Hearing the prince's question, he still didn't think of a proper answer.

Yinzhen saw the Master's hesitation, and said, "Master, just say it clearly."

After all, she is still young, and she is just a girl, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't study well.

"My lord, little Gege...is extremely intelligent, different from ordinary people...excellent talent, but..."

Yinzhen was surprised that the master did not hesitate to praise him. "But what?"

"Little Gege's mind is hard to guess. Little Gege can recite Wei poetry and Song Ci casually, but he can't recite any of the thousand-character essays arranged by the minister. It's even better than..."

Worse than Hiroshi.The master didn't say this, but Yinzhen understood.

Chuqing is very smart.This is as obvious as Chuqing is very close to him.

Yinzhen gently blew on the floating tea leaves, his eyes were clear.Putting down the teacup, he read Hiroshi's practice pen again.It's time for him to check his homework.

A few days passed in a row.Chuqing spends every morning in the school, competing with her master.When she was tired of the tricks she made and wanted to recite the thousand-character prose in one breath, scaring Hongshi to death, Sisi made her grand debut.

Yinzhen found a day when there were not many things after the early dynasty.Before the morning class was over, he wandered casually to the Ouxiang Bookstore.The green pool outside the house is full, and the lotus leaves are light blue.

This year is a year with plenty of rain and sunshine.

The sound of Hongshi reciting aloud came.Yinzhen's serious face showed a slight expression of kindness.Then there was a crisp and delicate girl's voice.

"Master, how long will it take for us to learn the thousand-character prose? Should we change it?"

"Gege's thousand-character prose, but I haven't heard even a single sentence so far, so how can I skip it?"

"Master's words are wrong." Chu Qing shook her head and protracted her tone. "Thousand-Character Essay is too easy, and memorizing it is useless. It's better not to memorize it. How about I memorize "On the Passing of the Qin Dynasty?" The child's voice was like an oriole coming out of the valley, What he said was precise.

"Gege, are there any difficulties or eases in the world? For this reason, even the difficult ones are also easy..."

"If you don't do it, it will be difficult for those who are easy. Alright." Chu Qing continued impatiently.

Yin Zhen walked out of the window already interested.Chuqing handed the book to the master, turned her back to him according to the rules, and put her little hands behind her back.Glimpse of the long-awaited tall figure.Chuqing's peach-blossom eyes turned into crescent moons.

"Heaven and Earth, Xuanhuang..." Chu Qing pretended not to be able to remember, and memorized each word while thinking about it.

The master nodded happily behind his back.

"Universe, primordial..." Hiroshi also looked at Chuqing encouragingly.

"The sun and the moon are in full bloom, that, Chen Su Lie Zhang."

The first sixteen characters are the most familiar to Hong Shi, so he followed the whole process and shook his head.

Chuqing was suddenly stuck, and the atmosphere was brewing.

"The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost." Chu Qing quickly recited the famous poems in anticipation.

"Huh?" Hiroshi's eyes were full of doubts.right?

The pen in Master's hand fell to the table with a bang.No way, little Gege, please forgive the old minister.

Chuqing smiled and looked at the people outside the window.

"The so-called April Four is on the water side."

Regardless of the embarrassment of the master, regardless of Hongshi's shrinking, regardless of the nervousness of a group of servants, Chuqing flew like a bird flapping its wings and ran towards Sisi who had already walked to the door.

"Four four—hugs—" Chuqing's voice, full of love, sounded out of the instant silence.

Too excited, too excited, succeeding with treacherous tricks, effortless effort, people's joy.Chu Qing hit Sisi's thigh with a bang.

Hiroshi watched with eyes of awe and envy as he, Ama, caught Chuqing who was about to fall, and picked her up.

Yinzhen corrected her calmly, "It's called Fourth Uncle." She's been here for a long time, and she's also smart, so changing her name will be difficult for her?Although he didn't expect her to call him Ama.

Chuqing tilted her head innocently and naively, "What is Fourth Uncle? Can you eat it?"

Yinzhen: "..." Am I thinking too much?

Master: "..." Little Gege started to play dumb again.

Chunhua: "..." The master is confessing his love again.

The rest of the crowd: "..." Little Gege is really tough.

Yinzhen was speechless and put down Chuqing.Youyou walked up to her son Hongshi, Chuqing was like a little tail tugging at his clothes and following him step by step.Everyone held their breath.Yinzhen didn't seem to realize it, and only said to Hongshi: "It is said that you have made some progress in learning."

Hiroshi panicked.Hemming and hawing.Little face flushed.The little mouth opened and closed again.

"Why can't you even speak?" Yinzhen's good mood was swept away, and his brows were slightly frowned.

Chu Qing struggled to pull Yin Zhen's clothes, and criticized: "Four Four, so fierce."

There was a sound of gasping.

Yinzhen didn't look at her, but his face was relaxed, and he said to his son indifferently: "Your handwriting is not good, and your writing skills are lacking. If you practice archery for an extra hour every day, you will also hand in five more essays."

Really harsh!Chu Qing felt sorry for Hiroshi.

She walked up to classmate Hongshi, who was terrified, and leaned against him, "Hongshi knows." It was Chu Qing who spoke, and Hongshi added later, "Hongshi knows."

Seeing Chuqing helping Hongshi speak, Yinzhen said casually: "You also start practicing calligraphy. Three articles a day."

With tears in her eyes, Chu Qing looked at Si Si with aggrieved eyes.

Yin Zhen turned and left, pinching his brows lightly.Heart language: Don't pretend to be pitiful.

Walking out of the Ouxiang Bookstore, Yinzhen suddenly thought that Chuqing was not in good health, and she definitely didn't ask her master to coach her in the Prince's Mansion.Even though she doesn't look sick in the slightest now, she looks more radiant than anyone else, and I worry that she won't be able to bear the relapse of her old illness.

Feet involuntarily went up the room.The Wulanara clan was looking through last year's gift list, and the May Festival was approaching, and the various government offices exchanged gifts.Although it is probably following the old rules, it also needs some new ideas to show intentions.Ulanara was very busy, and several women in charge were also there to listen to orders.

Qiuyue was on duty outside, and suddenly came in to report that the prince had come.

Ulanara was stunned, and waved a handkerchief to order them to disperse, saying that she would come to Lan Yan after lunch, and she would divide the matter further.

As soon as Yinzhen stepped into the upper room, Si Fujin came out of the east wing with a smile, greeted him gracefully and calmly, and said: "My lord will come back earlier today."

Yinzhen nodded, sat down on the main seat, and said: "If Fujin is busy, you don't need to accompany me here."

Sifujin felt strange.The prince came to her, but he didn't say anything, but let her do it herself.

Yinzhen didn't say any more, and opened the second drawer from the small mother-of-pearl cabinet next to the seat, and took out a volume of books inside.It's just some sketches written by predecessors, for leisurely reading.There is a shriveled wintersweet flower in the place where I read it last time.

He hasn't studied here for a long time.

Thinking about it, he turned his hand over lightly, and also turned over a trace of emotion in his heart, and already forgot about Ulanara.Until, a coquettish voice came one step ahead of the master, and the fingers turning the pages of the book stopped there.
