"Haitang was thinking that since the fourth young master would go to school today, he would probably meet the little princess, so he mentioned this. However, the fourth young master should know the special features of Prince Wu's Mansion..."
Although, Haitang didn't say any more.
But Luo Ye already knew what Haitang wanted to say.
The position of Prince Wu's Mansion in Dajing is indeed very special.
In fact, Dajing's force value is higher than any historical dynasty in Luo Ye's memory in another life. It is biased to say that there are many sects and strong men.
The power of Jianghu is too strong. If you want to control it, you can't just suppress it.
Dajing adopts the policy of 'symbiosis and coexistence'.
The army is mainly used to guard the border, and local governance is to let the yamen and sects co-govern, so as to share some benefits, and the sects will naturally be willing to surrender.
However, bowing one's head would mean 'listening to the tune but not the announcement'. Therefore, in order to supervise the sect's power and prevent the use of force to violate the prohibition, Dajing established Tianshu Yuan.
In a sense, Tianshu Yuan is equivalent to the bridge between the imperial court and the world. Its importance is self-evident. Therefore, the head of Tianshu Yuan in the past dynasties has been appointed by the royal family.
And the current head of Tianshu Yuan is Tang Ling'er's father, King Wu 'Tang Yitang'. In other words, only the head of Tianshu Yuan can get the title of King Wu!
…
Thinking of King Wu Tang Yitang, an inexplicable thought flashed through Luo Ye's mind, but the problem was that the heads of Tianshu Academy in the past generations were all 'lone ministers', and most of the time they did not interfere in the affairs of the government.
Even if he abandoned this relationship, for what reason would he ask King Wu for help?
Said that he had an affair with Tang Ling'er?
Haha, my legs will be broken directly for you!
…
Don't think about Tang Ling'er for the time being.
Arriving in the front yard, Luo Ye met his new book boy.
A boy with dark skin and a turban on his head, about twelve years old.
The blue satin blouse on her body was of good quality, and the cloth boots on her feet were quite thick, so they must have been newly made.
Beside the young man, stood the steward Shi Liang.
"Hello, Fourth Young Master." Shi Liang greeted Luo Ye as soon as he saw him: "The master and his wife are meeting guests in the hall, and I'm here to send the Fourth Young Master to school."
After saying that, he winked at the young man: "This is Quan Chun. Why don't you come and see the young master?"
"Quan Chun has met the young master!" Quan Chun immediately stepped forward and greeted Haitang next to Luo Ye: "I have also met Miss Haitang."
"Yeah." Haitang nodded slightly.
Luo Ye also said "hmm".
He found that although Quan Chun was a little dark, his appearance was actually quite handsome, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and very strong muscles, like a little panther.
Shi Liang waited for Quan Chun to finish the ceremony, and then continued: "Quan Chun is the son of Qingbai Zhuang's manager. He grew up in the village and is quite smart. Let him study with the fourth young master from now on."
"Okay." Luo Ye didn't object.
Hearing Luo Ye's agreement, Shi Liang breathed a sigh of relief and confessed to Quan Chun: "You are lucky that the Fourth Young Master can take a fancy to you. From now on, you will stay with the Fourth Young Master and obey the Fourth Young Master's orders in everything. Do you understand? "
"Understood!" Quan Chun nodded vigorously, looking very happy: "Quan Chun will definitely live up to the trust of the master and his wife, and will do his best to serve the young master in his studies from now on."
"Well, remember what you said."
"yes!"
After finishing his answer, Quan Chun stood beside Luo Ye.
Then he asked respectfully: "Master, where is your book? Quan Chun will get it for you."
"No need." Haitang on the side said again: "I have asked Chu Xia to take books and wait at the door. You can just follow us."
"good."
…
With Haitang around, Shi Liang didn't stay any longer and quickly bowed and left.
Haitang took Luo Ye and Quan Chun and walked towards the door of the house.
The Earl of Changping's Mansion is a courtyard with six entrances. Most of the people living in the front courtyard are servants, and Quan Chun lives here.
Arrived at the door of the house.
Chu Xia was already waiting there with a parchment bag.
Quan Chun was indeed very smart. As soon as he saw Chu Xia, he ran over and took the sheepskin book bag and carried it on his back.
Chu Xia was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses and asked, "Are you the young master's new book boy?"
"Yes, my name is Quan Chun."
"My name is Chu Xia, and I am the maid in the young master's room. Although you are a book boy, you cannot enter the young master's bedroom at will. You can only go in when Sister Yingchun and I call you. Do you understand?" Chu Xia took out the old man's bedroom. ' gesture.
"I know." Quan Chun looked very well-behaved.
"Also, the young master is studying at Jincao Academy. You must not take the wrong path."
"Don't worry, General Manager Shi asked someone to take me there yesterday. I walked twice more by myself and I already know the way." Quan Chun assured, patting his chest.
"That's good." Chu Xia nodded, and then said: "The young master has just recovered from his illness, and the weather is hot. Please make sure you drink some water for the young master on the way. In addition..."
He explained it again and again.
Luo Ye noticed that when Chu Xia was explaining things, Quan Chun also brought out a piece of thick yellow paper and a charcoal pencil.
He's actually literate?
Moreover, it seems that he knows a lot.
However, because he is "half-blind", although he can read words, he cannot read for a long time, so Luo Ye did not take a closer look. He only roughly saw that Chu Xia had just finished speaking, and Quan Chun put away his pen, which was obviously what he was about to explain. I wrote it all down.
It's getting late.
Haitang saw that Chu Xia had confessed everything she needed to explain, so she didn't say anything more and directly asked someone to open the side door.
Finally left the house.
Luo Ye looked around subconsciously.
After confirming that there was no peeping figure hiding in the corner, I breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Jincao Academy is built on a hill in Anpingfang. The scenery on the hill is excellent, with a bamboo forest, chrysanthemums and gladiolus planted there.
At the foot of the mountain is a lotus pond, with a gravel road filled in the middle for carriages, and a stone arch bridge built, which is the only way to the school.
After walking for about two-quarters of an hour, they arrived in front of the lotus pond and boarded the stone arch bridge. Luo Ye looked at the lotus leaves floating in the lotus pond and felt somewhat enlightened.
"Master, have a drink of water."
"good."
They come, the security.
Luo Ye was not too pretentious and took a sip of the water handed over by Quan Chun.
And what he doesn't know is...
Right in front of the lotus pond he just passed by.
A girl wearing an embroidered dress was hiding under a lotus leaf, looking at him quietly.
"Humph, you are really avoiding me on purpose. Do you want me to save his life in vain? That's too cunning. I will never let him go." Tang Ling'er snorted softly.
She didn't go to the Earl's Mansion yesterday, but Luo Ye came to school today.
This can't be a coincidence, right?
The sword attendant in white skirt on the side was obviously helpless: "What does the princess want to do? Although the Earl's Palace of Changping is not as prosperous as before, but after all, our ancestors had a prince's division, and they can be regarded as representatives of Qingliu. If force is used... "
Tang Ling'er understood what the swordsman meant and interrupted: "Don't worry, I won't use force to force you. Moreover, my father also said that to truly make someone return to his heart, force alone is not enough."
"What the princess means...to convince people with virtue?"
"That's right, I plan to follow him quietly. When someone bullies him, I will protect him! When he sees that I stand up for him and understands that I am really good to him, he will no longer avoid me. ”
"But the princess still has to go to the school. If she takes too long, I'm afraid she will be punished by 'Mr. Zhuo', right?"
"Oh, it won't be long." Tang Ling'er smiled confidently: "You don't understand Luo Ye. He is bullied several times a day in the school. He will not delay his studies."
"But it's only more than a quarter of an hour before classes start..."
"Look, it's coming!"
"(⊙.⊙)"
The swordsman's gaze followed the direction of Tang Ling'er's finger.
Sure enough, I saw a young man wearing green satin sleeves and a book boy in gray arriving under the stone bridge.
She has served Tang Ling'er for many years, so she naturally knows the children of the aristocratic families in Jincao Academy.
If she remembered correctly, the boy's name was Zong Shu.
His father is the current Minister of Civil Service.
Not long ago, when Changping Bo Luo Qinghe directly admonished Li Xuanfu in the court, it was Zong Shu's father who took the lead in jumping out.
Then, it is natural that the two cannot be friends.
...it came really fast!
But, will the two of them really take action now?
The sword servant expressed his doubts: "The school will start in more than a quarter of an hour. Even if Zong Shu passes by and curses a few words, Luo Ye should choose to be patient. As long as Zong Shu doesn't take action directly, the meaning of the princess jumping out to 'protect' Isn’t it big?”
"Yes, so I have already prepared." Tang Ling'er raised the corner of her mouth.
Prepare?
The sword servant was about to ask again.
A stone swished past his eyes, and then hit Zong Shu on the forehead.
"Snapped!"
"Ouch, who hit me!"
Under the stone bridge, Zong Shu exclaimed.
The sword servant's expression froze.
Tang Linger's smile was as bright as a flower: "If this happens, Zong Shu will take action."
