Chapter 107 Untitled
After hearing this, Sheng Hong’s mind, which was a little dizzy due to Lin Xiaoniang’s series of tricks, instantly sobered up a lot. He frowned and said: “I’m going to try it out soon. Isn’t this a delay for Bai’er? "
If Sheng Hong were to put things in order, his family and his face would definitely come first.
The second one is Sheng Changbai, because Sheng Changbai is the continuation of the family.
And Sheng Changbai himself also strives for success.
Although he loves Wujiwu and Sheng Changfeng as his son, Sheng Hong knows in his heart that even if he puts aside the concubine, Sheng Changbai is much better than Sheng Changfeng in all aspects.
"Master, I naturally know that second brother's studies are equally important. I just want Feng'er to study with him when Brother Bai comes back from school and when Xiu Mu is at home. Brother, please teach Feng'er when you have time. If you don't have time, forget it. Second brother is very stable when he is young. Brother Feng is far behind in this aspect. It would be good for him to get some education from second brother." Xiao Niang said.
Her idea was very simple, to save others by oneself. She felt that even if Sheng Changbai knew the imperial examination questions, he would not tell Sheng Changfeng. It would be useless to tell Sheng Hong about such things.
So I just want Sheng Changfeng to stay in front of Sheng Changbai, so that I can roughly judge what books Sheng Changbai has read and what articles she has written.
Even if it doesn't work, reading the same book as Sheng Changbai is still useful.
Sheng Hong's expression softened upon hearing this. The method Lin Xiaoniang said had no impact on Sheng Changbai, so he agreed.
Seeing that Sheng Hong agreed, Miss Lin was very happy and said: "Master, I heard that the old lady invited an old nanny from the palace to come to the house to teach the fifth and sixth sisters the rules. Can you Let Mo Lan also learn. Mo Lan is not as lucky as them and can serve the prince in the palace, but if he learns some rules, he can have a better marriage in the future."
Sheng Hong frowned again when he heard this. He stood up and said, "Mother invited Aunt Kong to teach the rules in the palace. What's the use of Mo'er learning these things?"
If things go according to the original development, Mrs. Sheng invites Aunt Kong to come to her home. In order to teach Minglan and the others the rules and illustrations for making tea.
However, because Ru Lan was selected as the crown prince’s concubine, Mrs. Sheng herself has been teaching her for several years.
However, Mrs. Sheng still invited Grandma Kong to her home, firstly to reminisce about old times, and secondly, to let Grandma Kong teach her the rules in Rulan Palace.
Moreover, Grandma Kong works as an errand in the East Palace and knows the prince’s temperament and personality, which can also help Ru Lan get to know His Highness the prince before entering the palace.
Old Mrs. Sheng told Sheng Hong that in Sheng Hong's opinion, Mo Lan didn't enter the palace, so there was no use in learning these things.
"Master, that's a nun in the palace. Mo Lan will learn from it. Even if she doesn't learn anything, people will look down upon her if she talks about marriage in the future." Lin Xiaoniang said.
Sheng Hong thought for a while and felt that what Lin Xiaoniang said made sense, and said, "I will talk to my mother later."
Seeing that her goal was achieved, Lin Xiaoniang stopped talking about these things and served Sheng Hong wholeheartedly.
......
"Zhong Huai, why did you come to Gu?" Zhao Xing asked.
Having a rest today, Zhao Xing took care of all the knots that were sent to him in the morning. He took a nap after lunch. When he woke up, he wanted to go fishing and relax, so Gu Tingye came.
"Your Highness, minister..."
Gu Tingye had a strange expression on his face and was a little embarrassed to speak.
"Zhong Huai, just say it if you have anything to say, why are you so hesitant?" Zhao Xing said strangely.
Gu Tingye gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I have a rest today. I would like to invite Your Highness to go out for a walk together."
"Go out for a walk?" Zhao Xing heard this and said with a smile: "I am alone. What do you think it is? I happen to be a little bored. I don’t know where you want to take me to go shopping.” Let's go to the bookstore with your highness," Gu Tingye said.
"Sure! Let's go and have a look." Zhao Xing nodded.
He is obviously bored at ordinary times and likes to read some story books to relieve his boredom.
However, he soon felt something was wrong. Gu Tingye usually didn't go out with him. If he just asked him to go out to play, there would be no reason for him to be hesitant.
Zhao Xing was not worried that Gu Tingye was going to harm him, so he did not ask further questions. He wanted to see what medicine Gu Tingye was selling in his gourd.
When Zhao Xing changed his clothes and came to the entrance of the East Palace, Gu Tingye and a group of guards had already changed into regular clothes and were waiting at the door.
When Zhao Xing got on the carriage, Gu Tingye got on his horse and followed the carriage.
Under the protection of the guards, the carriage circled around and arrived at a bookstore. Zhao Xing has been to this bookstore several times and is already a regular customer. When the shopkeeper saw Zhao Xing coming in, he smiled and said, "Master Zhao and Mr. Gu are here."
The shopkeeper only knew Zhao Xing Xing's surname is Zhao, and the specific identity of Zhao Xing is not known.
Although the surname Zhao is an imperial surname, it does not mean that ordinary people do not have the surname Zhao.
"Yeah." Zhao Xing nodded and asked, "Are there any new story books recently?"
"Yes, yes, there are quite a few."
The shopkeeper called out Xiaosi asked him to take Zhao Xing to choose books.
Zhao Xing followed Xiao Si, but Gu Tingye did not leave. Instead, he followed the shopkeeper and whispered something.
Zhao Xing took one look at it and didn’t think much about it. He picked some story books and asked Sanshui to pay.
"Your Majesty... have you chosen the young master?" Gu Tingye came up to greet him.
"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded and asked, "What did you just tell the manager?"
"I didn't say anything, I just asked about some books." Gu Tingye said .
Hearing this, Zhao Xing did not think much and asked: "Where are we going now?"
"I heard that a Wei Xingshou recently appeared in Guangyuntai, who is more beautiful than anyone else. He is not only proficient in poetry, but also The folk art is even more outstanding, why don't you go and see it?" Gu Tingye said.
Zhao Xing looked strange and said: "You want to take the orphan to Guangyuntai?"
Although Guangyuntai and Fanlou are both brothels, Fanlou is the kind of entertainment place that will be formal even in later generations. , but Guangyuntai is different.
Guangyuntai is the largest erotic place in Bianjing, and all the people who come in and out are dignitaries.
Gu Tingye dared to take him to that kind of place. If Yan Guan found out, it would be strange not to impeach him.
And even if the father knew it, he would not be able to spare Gu Tingye.
Wait, isn't this the father's order?
In the past, Gu Tingye was the companion of the East Palace, and now he is working as an errand in the East Palace. He is not a frequent visitor to the Goulan House like in the original play.
With Gu Tingye's character, he couldn't take him to a brothel to have fun, and Gu Tingye also knew the consequences of doing so.
“Go out and talk!”
Zhao Xing walked out and left the shop. When Gu Tingye followed him, he said, “Tell me, did your father ask you to do this? ?”
"I know I can't hide it from His Highness!" Gu Tingye said with a bitter smile.
To be precise, this matter was suggested by the officials to Gu Yankai. It was difficult for the officials to open the matter. Thinking that Gu Tingye had been with Zhao Xing for many years, they asked Gu Yankai to tell Gu Tingye to handle it.
Gu Yankai found it hard to talk about this kind of thing, and hinted at Gu Tingye.
Gu Tingye understood the general meaning and thought about how to tell Zhao Xing about this.
After much thought, it was definitely not appropriate to speak directly, so I thought of taking Zhao Xing to Guangyuntai.
Of course, he didn't want Zhao Xing to really favor those brothel girls, he just wanted to take him to experience the atmosphere.
Zhao Xing smiled and scolded: "If you have anything to do in the future, just tell Gu directly and don't make such small thoughts."
"Yes, I know I was wrong." Gu Tingye quickly admitted his mistake and then asked : "Then is His Highness Guangyuntai still going?"
"Fuck you, go back to the East Palace!" Zhao Xing said angrily.
