Although the Lotus Academy's financial aid is constantly being gathered, God bless them and they have no school to go to.

Feng Chuan and Xu Shanchang couldn't cry or laugh, because there were too many children of the gentry who signed up, and the current school building could not accommodate so many students at all. Originally, I wanted to admit a group of students to open the school first, and then expand the college. But at the moment, many people are studying to cling to the children of the Governor's Palace, who is willing to be the second batch?

Although the academy is now sheltered by the Governor's Palace, this school is inseparable from the help of the local gentry, and it is not easy for the two of them to offend people.

In desperation, Feng Chuan had to come forward and discuss with Cao Hao to let Tianyou and others delay their enrollment for two months. As for the studies of several people, Feng Chuan invited a Zhishi Hanlin from Beijing to sit in the Governor's Mansion to teach.

Cao Hao had no disagreement, and he was also surprised that so many children of the official gentry signed up in the Lotus Academy at once.

After all, at this time, messaging is not as convenient as in later generations. Immediately, he was relieved, after all, Qingyuan is where the governor's yamen is located, just like the national officialdom staring at the capital, the officials of the Zhili officialdom are also staring at the Qingyuan ......* Governor's Mansion and the inner house.

Today, it is said to be "recognizing relatives", but it is not like Xie Tianlai's wife and Zhu Zhilian with the same surname and township, and they are married, but Gao Taijun sees Zhu Zhilian's family.

No one expected that Gao Taijun's mother was not someone else, but the acting lord of the county.

In the war at the end of the previous dynasty, the lord of the acting king and his family were separated in the war and were rescued by Gao Taijun's father. The two fell in love and became husband and wife, and Gao Taijun was the eldest daughter of the two. Because the identity of the county lord is sensitive, the husband and wife hide it as a secret.

Later, the sons of the side branch of the acting king were also plundered and put into the white flag coat, but Gao Taijun's parents did not come forward to recognize their relatives.

In the early years of Kangxi, the imperial court was not so strict with Zhu Ming's descendants, and this group took the rest of the clansmen from Datong, and the acting prince still did not recognize his relatives, but only mentioned his life experience to his daughter.

When Gao Taijun was in the capital some time ago, he didn't know about the descendants of the king and the marquis to worship the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty; It was only when she arrived in Zhili and Mrs. Zhu Hou came to ask for peace that she learned about it.

When he heard that Zhu Zhilian was the family of the acting prince who moved from Datong to the capital in the early years of Shunzhi, the old man asked two more questions. Coincidentally, Zhu Zhilian's great-grandfather is the eldest son of the former Wang Shu and Gao Taijun's uncle. Because of the adult division of the palace knighthood, far away from the palace, but in the war was preserved.

Speaking of relatives, five suits have been released, but Gao is still very happy.

When she was in the capital, there were also people from the Gao clan who heard that she was raised in Cao Mansion and asked for peace in the past, but they were all relatives in the next room. And because of the lack of contact, Gao Taijun is not close to him.

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

The Li family knew that Gao Taijun was not close to the Gao clan, otherwise he would not give all his love to the younger generations of the Li family, and he was willing to have two more relatives in the old man's family to move around, so as to relieve the loneliness of the old man in his old age. But if the other party is an ordinary person, it is okay, this is a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and he is a subordinate official of his son, and the Li family still obeys his son's opinion.

Cao Hao has no objection, even if the other party's identity is more sensitive, but the relationship between relatives is so far away, even if he recognizes it, it is just a family with a name and many people moving around, which is really nothing.

For more than several generations, after all, it was eighty or ninety years ago, and perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this kind of relatives who have gone out of service are just like the godrelatives recognized by Xie Tianlai's wife, but they are just multiple relatives.

came to Zhili in March, Cao Hao's impression of Zhu Zhilian was not bad, and he was not disgusted with many relatives.

As a result, there is now known as the Governor's Palace's move to recognize relatives.

There was no fanfare, just in the form of a family banquet, inviting Zhu Zhilian's family to come over as guests.

Listening to Gao Taijun talk about the origin of the two families, although Zhu Zhilian was surprised, he also honestly talked about the seniority and took Sun Li. When someone else talks about it, he still has to think about whether the other party is clinging.

But when the governor's grandmother talked about it, Zhu Zhilian was not easy to speculate at will. In addition, because after Mrs. Zhu returned to the house last time, she mentioned to her husband that Gao Taijun asked him about this lineage, which made Zhu Zhilian feel somewhat prepared, so he was not very surprised.

"Aunt and grandmother, who was also in the capital back then, why didn't she come forward and recognize my grandfather? When my grandfather passed away, I was still young, but I remember clearly that after my grandfather came to Beijing, he came forward to find the people in the palace. Zhu Zhilian remembered the old things and asked.

Gao Taijun mentioned the past, and he was also embarrassed, and said: "Back then, I also asked my mother. After the war of the change of dynasty, my mother was like a frightened bird, afraid that the identity of her royal descendants would be revealed and my father would be implicated; is also ashamed of his ancestors, so he did not come forward to recognize his relatives. ”

Mentioning the word "Baoyi", Zhu Zhilian smiled bitterly and said softly: "I think my aunt and grandmother have also heard that the emperor's grace, in addition to rewarding the title, also carried the grandson out of the Baoyi and entered the Han army." ”

Gao Taijun's eyes were a little moist, nodded, and said, "Okay, okay, finally let the descendants be able to be people." ”

Zhu Zhilian also followed with red circles in his eyes, and said: "Yes, there is no need to let the descendants serve as cheap servants anymore." The grandchildren and sisters entered the palace as a small election, died of illness in the palace, and did not come out. ”

"Palace maid ......" Gao Taijun was very moved when he heard it, and sighed for a while, and said: "It's all fate, no one can earn it......"

Li sat beside him, but he listened with apprehension.

She was raised in the Li family, married into the Cao family, and most of the old friends who walked around the family in her early years were from the House of Internal Affairs, and she didn't feel how lowly her identity was.

After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's exquisite "Eight Banners Co-Master" was only a banner man, who was the emperor's servant. The three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have the status of a domestic slave of the Son of Heaven, and most of the errands are to take care of the royal private property.

But listening to what Gao Taijun and Zhu Zhilian said, she knew that in the eyes of the two, the identity of Bao Yi was a shame.

Only Cao Hao, as a spectator of history, can somewhat understand the mood of the Zhu family and the acting prince. From the royal family above 10,000 people to the slaves who live in secret, the distance between this is not half a star.

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

Gao Taijun listened, did not make a sound, but looked at Zhu Zhilian.

Zhu Zhilian hurriedly said: "It is time for their mother and son to come over and kowtow to their aunt and grandmother." ”

Subsequently, the Li family sent a message to Chu Yu, who was accompanying the guests in the front yard, and Chu Yu brought the three of Liu's mother and son to Gao Taijun's room to ask for peace.

Hearing that Gao Taijun was her husband's cousin and grandmother, Liu was relieved. She thought that the two families were related, but she was also apprehensive. After all, judging from age, Gao Taijun is more like a relative of his father's generation, and if he recognizes his relatives like that, their husband and wife will be a generation higher than the governor.

In that case, even if you move around in the future, it will be embarrassing. No one wants to add two elder relatives for nothing, and they live in the same house.

In this way, he was the same as the governor, but he saved a lot of trouble.

Seeing that Gao Taijun was loving, her husband also changed his name, and Liu took a pair of children very submissively and kowtowed to Gao Taijun.

Zhu Ting, the second son of the Zhu family, from Mrs. Liu, is sixteen years old this year, and he was a talent in his early years, and now he is studying in Fuxue; Miss Zhu Jia, Zhu Shuang'er, concubine, raised in the name of her mother-in-law, thirteen years old, to be in the boudoir.

Because there is an order from the imperial court, the flag and the Han are not married, and the Qingyuan City is in the family of the banner, and it is counted, so the two brothers and sisters have not yet discussed their marriage.

Gao Taijun pulled this, looked at that, praised it several times, and gave a meeting gift, Zhu Ting's is a bat jade pendant, Zhu Shuang'er is a beeswax bracelet, Liu is a pair of skein gold bracelets, and Zhu Zhilian is a seed jade seal.

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 the Li family, but was stopped by the Li family. Liu's is okay, in his early forties, one round younger than Li's, and Zhu Zhilian is also over half a hundred years old, not a few years younger than Li's.

Finally, the couple stood and saluted, and the children kowtowed to Lee.

Later, the couple met Cao Hao and Chu Yu again.

At this time, God blessed them and they were all summoned to Gao Taijun to greet everyone in the Zhu family.

When introducing the brothers Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng, Liu paid a lot of attention, especially Zuo Cheng, and took a few more looks.

Although Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng are twins, they looked about the same when they were young, and they can still see the difference when they get older. Xiao's father, who lives on the left, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is not as smooth as Ning Chun, and he is a little more generous; Zuo Cheng looks like Xiao's mother, his eyebrows and eyes are more detailed, and he is more agile than Tian's.

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

Just when Mrs. Zhu Hou was looking at the children, Tianyou and Zuo Zhu were all looking at Zhu Ting.

The three of them, at the age of twelve, had taken the children's exam, and Ping Suri heard a lot of praise. But as far as they knew, the prince of the Hou Mansion in front of him passed the boy's test at the age of ten. It's just that for some reason, I haven't participated in the township test all these years.

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

Niuniu and Tianhui are getting older, even if they recognize each other, there are young men here, and it is not easy to stay long, after seeing everyone, they took Zhu Shuang'er to the next room to talk.

God blessed them with the same example and invited Zhu Ting to go out to talk.

The Cao family does not have a powerful frame, and the Zhu family is not a high-ranking and lonely person, so they naturally get close to each other.

Gao Taijun was in a very good mood, so he sent Zhu Zhilian and Cao Hao to go, leaving Liu to gossip on her side.

Only Changsheng, there is no one who can speak, so he complained to Chu Yu in a low voice, and coaxed Tianbao to go out to play.

I heard that Zhu Ting would also go to the Lotus Academy in April, Tianyou was very surprised: "The students of the school can also go outside to study?" Can the Teachings allow it? ”

Like Zuo Zhu and Zuo Cheng, it doesn't count, because they move with their elders, and the government school can be recorded. Zhu Ting's side, but he learned righteousness from officials.

Zhu Ting said: "I am from Shuntian Mansion, and now I am in Qingyuan, and I am just an attached school, as long as I say hello to the teachings." ”

Tianyou hesitated for a moment and asked: "My cousin has been a student so far, and there have been three chances to take the township test in the middle, why didn't my cousin end up, is he waiting for a thick accumulation?" ”

Zhu Ting smiled and said, "I won't take the township test, and when I'm older, I'll take the road of grace......
