Seon lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing?

When he sent away Cao Wu, who was grateful for his kindness, Zhang Shou was full of confusion, and the first thing that came to mind was these eight words. But think about it again, it is not himself who lost the horse, it is the future father-in-law, and it is not himself who gets the horse, it is Cao Wu, who instructed Cao Wu to raise funds from wealthy businessmen from all walks of life, and influence the court through them and the people behind them. As for him, did he get anything? Obviously nothing!

As for the impeachment of Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing, Zhang Shou didn't think much about it at all - the father and son were defeated in the foreign war, and there were even rumors that the person was dead and disabled and missing all kinds of bad news, and then the impeachment of the DPRK almost didn't submerge the Zhu family, and the Zhao Guogong Mansion was finally safe and sound, not to mention that now Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang have returned?

The father and son can solve this little thing with a wave of their hands, and they still need him to jump up and down and worry about it?

So, when he returned to the Wu family, he saw that people were also there to appease Zhu Ying, who was puffing up, he smiled and said: "It's a mediocre talent if you don't attract people's jealousy, Yingying, you want to open up, and it's not a day or two that others are jealous of your father, so it's a reason to slander your and my beauty with others." There is a way that insists that Qingshan does not relax, and the roots are in the broken rock. Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south. ”

When Zhang Shou said that others were jealous of Zhao Guogong and Zhu Jing for a day or two, Zhu Ying was still angry with a straight face, but when Zhang Shou said that this was slandering the beauty of their little couple with others, Zhu Ying couldn't help but be amused. When Zhang Shou casually said four lines of poetry, she was suddenly surprised when she almost never heard Zhang Shou's poems.

She blurted out and asked, "Ah Shou, your poem is good!" ”

Seeing that Wu also looked at him with surprise on his face, Zhang Shou was only slightly stunned, and then laughed and said: "Poetry is good, borrowing bamboo and singing people." It's just that this poem is almost the same as your eldest brother, but I am the type who follows the southeast and northwest winds. Catch up with Ming'er, I asked the teacher to draw two bamboos, and then inscribed this poem and gave it to your eldest brother as a gift, what do you think? ”

Zhu Ying finally succeeded in being distracted by Zhang Shou's nonsense, and no longer paid attention to the problem of the poem, so she couldn't help but sneer: "Ah Shou, what nonsense are you talking about, this is not the birthday of the eldest brother, and it is not a holiday, what are you asking Grandpa Ge to send him a painting for!" Do you pat him on the back? ”

"That's right, it's the future uncle, who made him look like I don't like it all the time!"

Zhang Shou blinked his eyes thoughtfully, and then said earnestly, "So I doubt that my father-in-law was suddenly impeached this time, could it be that the emperor intended to find something to do for your eldest brother, so that he would not be alone, so he would simply be lazy." You must know that he is a young famous general, and he soaks in Xiao's house all day long to be a teacher for Xiao Cheng and Xiao Peanut, isn't this overkill? ”

"With his civil and military skills, he should go to fight the heavens and the earth!"

"Fight you big-headed ghost! Ah Shou, you're getting more and more flamboyant now! Zhu Ying finally laughed, the bad mood just now finally disappeared completely, and after thinking about it, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Zhang Shou made sense, and finally nodded and said, "But you are right, this matter is indeed a bit strange, the emperor has nothing to do with my father to be the secretary of the military department, I will go to the palace to ask him if I catch Ming'er." ”

As soon as she said this, she got up to leave, but she suddenly stopped again without taking two steps, turned her head and glared at Zhang Shou angrily: "I almost forgot to get down to business by you, and I have one more thing to tell you today, the emperor is going to have a feast." ”

However, after Zhu Ying's special reminder, she saw Zhang Shou looking at herself inexplicably. Just when she thought that Zhang Shou would knowingly ask what the feast was, she saw Zhang Shou smiling at her.

"What does the feast have to do with me?"

If it weren't for the fact that she clearly knew what kind of person Zhang Shou was, Zhu Ying would have been mad by these few words of understatement at this time. She glared at Zhang Shou fiercely, and when she saw that people were looking at her innocently as usual, she hated her teeth and said, "You dignified Dr. Guozi, ask me what the sutra feast has to do with you?" ”

"No way, I've only been a doctor of the country for less than a year, and there are still many months in Cangzhou, how do I know what the feast has to do with me." Zhang Shou said very eloquently, and then said with a smile, "Moreover, everyone knows that I was born in the countryside, and all my subjects are biased towards arithmetic, and I don't even understand the scriptures, isn't that a matter of course?" ”

"What you say makes a lot of sense." Zhu Ying glanced at Zhang Shou, and didn't listen to his nonsense, but explained seriously, "The Song Dynasty feast is from February to the Dragon Boat Festival, and then from August to the winter solstice. ”

Although since arriving in the capital, Zhang Shou has learned a lot about a certain Taizu Emperor, from the official history to the wild history, and even read the diary of this predecessor with pinyin and half-hung Chinese English, but he still has a lot of things he has not understood.

For example, what Zhu Ying said at this time, it was the first time he had heard of it, so he naturally listened to it with relish.

"Grandpa Taizu was disdainful of the so-called sutra banquet in the Song Dynasty, saying that Renzong was still known as a virtuous monarch, but because he was young, there was no seat for the reading officer during the sutra feast. Since you don't even have the dignity of being a teacher, what sage books do you still talk about? Not to mention that Wang Jinggong has no seat to read. Every year, there is a special half-year banquet in a decent manner, which is actually a fictional story. ”

"So Taizu set the rule that the feast lasts for three months every year, and it can be held whenever it wants. During these three months, lectures are held on alternate days, each for an hour and a half. Lectures and readings are not limited to scripture and history, but also miscellaneous subjects. In addition, the audience is not limited to the emperor, but also the princes, brothers, royal families and nobles in Beijing. Of course, it's not that you don't have to listen to lectures when you're an emperor. ”

"The emperor may choose his own teacher and give lectures. There is no limit to the number of emperors. But the emperor only recognized Grandpa Ge as one, Grandpa Ge is now old, and the number of times he enters the palace to give lectures to the emperor is a little less, but he will still open a book list for the emperor to read, and then let the emperor write articles according to the title of the book. ”

After talking about the emperor's diligence, Zhu Ying began to expose the emperor's sneaky deeds: "The emperor is also convinced by Grandpa Ge, and he has always lacked interest in the scriptures. In previous years, when the feast was held, others certainly attended, but they either listened to the lecture and criticized it at the same time, or they were distracted while listening to the lecture, and even secretly read a book. ”

Zhu Ying ruthlessly exposed the emperor's performance during the feast, and then added: "When he was at the feast, he still watched the legends in the market, and his favorite thing to see was the legend of Grandpa Taizu, followed by the legend of Grandpa Ruizong, and then Grandpa Yingzong's, anyway, he had a lot of miscellaneous books in the boxes in the bookshelf of the Qianqing Palace, you will know later." ”

No, I'd rather not know about it in the future!

Zhang Shou couldn't help but take a light breath, thinking that the emperor still maintained the kind of character that is called a maverick when he speaks well and is called a middle two when he doesn't speak well, it is really rare, it is not easy for the queen mother to raise such a son - and it is no wonder that the two bastard sons of the eldest prince and the second prince will be brought out......

After realizing that Zhu Ying knew this, referring to the fact that he might indeed be asked to participate in the sutra feast, he was dumbfounded and said, "So I may still have to go to the sutra feast?" Wait, is it to listen or to speak? "It's so tricky!

"Of course it's going to be told! Otherwise, what do you think those four mountain chiefs are doing in the capital, just to be teachers for the princes? Of course not, they are going to go through the feast and turn back on the stone tablet behind their own academy, so that they can engrave their great achievements! Speaking of this, Zhu Ying glanced at Zhang Shou proudly, "Prepare well, I'll listen to it when I go back!" ”

Zhang Shou didn't have time to ask, so he saw the eldest lady leaving with a smile, where could he still see the anger just now because of Zhu Jing's impeachment. It's just that the eldest lady waved her sleeves and walked away as if she didn't take away a cloud, but she left him with a big problem that he had to think about how to solve.

Feast ...... This lofty term will actually have a relationship with him? Could it be that he told history according to the previous lecture method of Banshan Hall? Won't be sprayed to death by someone?

Or would he go and put on a huge blackboard, and then write down those people with a bunch of formulas?

Listening to Zhu Ying's tone, it seems that he can't participate in it!

Zhang Shou began to have a real headache, and Wu Shi saw that he was embarrassed, thinking that he was worried that there was nothing to talk about at the scripture banquet, so he had to comfort him to ask Ge Yong for advice. For such a suggestion, Zhang Shou was slightly stunned and smiled: "My mother really gave me a good idea, I know, if I really can't think of what to say at the feast, I will go and ask the teacher." ”

Seeing that her son accepted her suggestion, Wu was overjoyed, but the next moment, there was a knock on the door outside, she hurriedly opened her mouth and called in, and the next moment, Ah Liu pushed the door into the house, and her expression was a little strange.

"Lady, young master, the eldest lady just met me halfway, let me piggyback two more words." He hesitated slightly, as if he was struggling with how he should speak, and only spoke after a while, "She said that she will find the best tailor when she goes back, and re-order a public uniform for the young master, and she will personally match the accessories, so that the young master must not be casual when you go to the feast." ”

Zhang Shou suddenly cried and laughed, and Wu also exclaimed in surprise: "Why is this? Isn't the prayer feast a regular garment? ”

Ah Liu coughed dryly, and repeated Zhu Ying's words as they were: "Grandpa Taizu's old system, it is not only the royal children and nobles who go to listen to the lectures, but also the princesses, county lords, and nobles of various families, but it has been out of fashion for many years, but this time the emperor will definitely do it." Therefore, the eldest lady hopes that the young master will dress up well and let people take a good look at your demeanor. ”

Although he had guessed Zhu Ying's intentions just now, when Ah Liu really said it at this time, Zhang Shou couldn't help but feel that this was very in line with Zhu Ying's usual favorite show-off characteristics. Sure enough, Wu couldn't help but shake his head.

"Yingying is really a child...... Ah Shou has been in the capital for more than a year, and who doesn't know that he is good-looking, and she still has to be so swaggering! ”

But when she said this, the smile revealed in her eyebrows and eyes couldn't be hidden. The future daughter-in-law wants to show off her son, who has outstanding looks and even more outstanding character and learning, how could she not be willing? To say that Zhang Shou has been in the capital for a long time, but it is true that many noble ladies have never seen him, after all, there is a difference between men and women, no matter how curious people are, they can't take a special trip to pass by in a carriage, right?

Therefore, she then said seriously: "In this way, I will go back and discuss with her, and I will definitely make you dress decently and solemnly, so that people can't find any flaws!" ”

Okay, okay, it's all up to you......

What else can Zhang Shou say? He only felt that if he really wanted to participate, he didn't need to ask Ge Yong what to pay attention to during the feast, and that day he would simply go directly to the introduction and application of calculus, so that everyone would become mosquito eyes.

I couldn't enter the palace at night, and on the third day of the next day, Zhu Ying was grounded by Mrs. Tai again, and only entered the palace on the fourth day to ask the teacher for guilt. Of course, she still went to Qingning Palace to talk to the Queen Mother first - otherwise the emperor would have to go to the early dynasty first, and there would be a period of time after the early dynasty ended, and she would run over to make trouble when people were doing business, which was really not in line with the character of the eldest lady.

Therefore, she also had a snack at the Queen Mother's place, and then entered the Qianqing Palace in a grand manner in the name of sending snacks to the emperor. It's just that the dim sum plate was directly handed over to Liu Feng, who came up to greet her, and she went straight to Dongnuan Pavilion. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the emperor looking at him with a smile, as if he had expected her to come.

She was not in a hurry, and after stepping forward to salute, she said with a calm face: "Your Majesty, my father is doing it behind closed doors, and the disaster comes from heaven. Now a lot of people are impeaching my father for colluding with Wu Gelao, this is a joke, if my father has this ability, he will simply be the first to help! ”

"Actually......" The emperor tugged at his mustache, and then laughed dryly, "Your father is just not very lucky." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Ying didn't expect the emperor to give such an outrageous explanation, and immediately laughed angrily, "My father was not very lucky, so he was impeached?" If it weren't for your whim, how could my father be so unlucky! ”

The emperor snorted, trying to make himself look casual: "I instructed Wu Ge Lao to draft two tickets, one is your father's appointment, and the other is the last time Zhang Shou asked you to lobby my dart boat." Whoever falls into the hands of Yu Huai, who is in the middle of the six sections, will definitely be so angry that he ignores another thing, it depends on who has better luck between Zhang Shou and your father. ”

"I just didn't expect that your father, who has always been very lucky, actually lost to Zhang Shou this time."

Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned crimson with anger. And before she exploded like thunder, the emperor said seriously: "If your father is impeached, after knowing the inside story, he will definitely have to call Zhang Shou over and teach him a hard lesson." If this is attacked by the dart ship at sea, Zhang Shou will not be able to escape. I'm going to cure him for this trouble-free problem! ”
