Northern Song Dynasty: Starting from the son of Song Renzong

Chapter 5: Miao Niangzi's Concerns
A woman who looks like a queen comes and goes quickly.

to be frank!
Zhao Xin felt that the concubines in the palace did not seem to be very old.

Take the woman who looks like a queen for example.

Zhao Xin estimated...

This age can't be more than twenty-five.

of course!

Thinking about his father, he seems to be only in his early thirties, and the concubines are only in their teens or twenties, which makes sense.

Being a kid is boring.

Fortunately, Zhao Xin does not reject this kind of life where everything is provided for him.

And ever since that woman who looked like the queen left.

His biological mother, Ms. Miao, seemed to have finally remembered to get him some enlightenment reading materials.

Zhao Xin would also call the other party "Miss Miao" from time to time.

The result was that every time she was corrected by the other party with a frown on her face, “You should call me sister!”

But he didn't shout like that!

He just loves to call her Madam Miao!
The other party was so angry that he wanted to spank him.

But Zhao Xin just giggled.

In the third month after traveling here, Zhao Xin began to learn to write.

in fact……

Zhao Xin has already given them a lot of face.

It was not until the third month that I showed the desire to write.

This……

He was once again shocked by the Miao lady in front of him.

at the same time……

Zhao Xin was also fortunate enough to have seen the enlightenment books of this world.

Say it!

Isn’t this the Thousand Character Classic?

He can even sing it!

But luckily I didn’t sing!

If I can't control myself and sing it in Mandarin, it will be over.

Apart from "Thousand Character Classic", the rest are enlightenment books produced by various private schools.

However, since they are all written by individuals for teaching purposes, the quality of books like this varies greatly.

It would be better to just memorize the Thousand Character Classic.

At least this one has a thousand Chinese characters, and none of them are the same.

Zhao Xin only memorizes about one page every day.

Because there are so many, it’s actually not easy for him to remember them all.

Anyway...when I go to sleep, I close my eyes and recite it silently because the pronunciation is very beautiful and smooth.

Therefore, it is not very difficult to memorize the entire page.

period……

His father had come two or three times and it seemed that his wife Miao was not very favored.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so many days, only coming two or three times.

At this time, Zhao Xin was basically certain!
I should have arrived in the Song Dynasty.

Because "Thousand Character Classic" is a book from the Southern Dynasties, and now we have tables and chairs with long legs.

The clothes don’t look like they’re from the Ming Dynasty, so they can only be from the Song Dynasty.

But now, exactly when was the Song Dynasty? It remains to be studied.

to be frank!
I feel that as long as it is not the late Northern Song Dynasty or the late Southern Song Dynasty, it seems to be okay.

What Zhao Xin feared most was the late Northern Song Dynasty.

Because he is so young and has not done anything yet, and yet he is about to be captured by the Jin people, this is somewhat inappropriate.

of course!

From a strict point of view!
This may not be the Song Dynasty, it could be a parallel world. Next...

After he has learned the 1,000 Chinese characters in Thousand Character Classic, he will reveal the names and identities of the people around him one by one.

Oh, right! These days, he almost forgot that he has a sister.

If he guessed correctly, then she should be his biological sister, right?
Although they didn't sleep in the same room, the other person at least lived in the same courtyard as them.

Moreover, they eat together during meals.

The sudden appearance of an older sister made Zhao Xin somewhat uncomfortable to adapt.

after all……

He was used to being an only child and couldn't get used to having an older sister.

If this sister was at least ten years older than me, then it would probably be okay.

I could even barely let the other person give me a hug.

But she's just a girl. It would be better to have a younger sister.

This is the third month!
Zhao Xin's performance was also amazing.

It was the end of the third month.

Zhao Xin was no longer satisfied with the contents of the Thousand Character Classic.

And to be honest, the content of the Thousand Character Classic can certainly be used to learn Chinese characters.

however……

As for this daily conversation, Zhao Xin doesn't think it means much.

Therefore, what Zhao Xin needs to master next is actually complete sentences of daily expressions.

So starting from the end of the third month, Zhao Xin asked his biological mother, Miao Niangzi, to write down the other party's name, and also write down the pronunciation of "sister", "eldest sister", "daddy", etc.

After seeing these words, Zhao Xin suddenly seemed to have an epiphany.

People and things that I didn’t understand before, now I understand them all at once.

What Zhao Xin didn't quite understand was why he called Miao Niang "sister" and called his own sister "big sister".

This……

This is more or less not in line with normal human word usage habits.

of course!

It's quite interesting.

this day……

It just so happened that his stepfather finally remembered and wanted to come and see the three of them, mother, daughter and son. Zhao Xin quickly learned how to write the word "official".

At this moment, the cheap daddy he found for free was so shocked after hearing about his deeds that he couldn't eat.

In fact...

Madam Miao only dared to speak to him when there was no one else around.

Putting aside the possibility of him being judged as a monster, if your son is really so smart, wouldn’t the other concubines in the harem be envious and jealous to death?

Zhao Xin didn’t know how many brothers he had. Anyway... in a word, he had been here for three months and hadn’t seen a single brother.

But his father is already thirty years old. Zhao Xin thought, this guy shouldn't be without a son, right?
When Zhao Xin was thinking this, and was trying to grab the cakes on the table from the little girl, he heard his father say, "Zui Xinglai is really that smart!"

Madam Miao was anxious, and quickly asked the other party to lower his voice and said, "Sir, please don't be so loud!"

This did not make his cheap father understand, so he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Madam Miao said earnestly, "The queen doesn't even have a son. Besides, the other concubines..."

The other side asked: "Are you afraid that they will be jealous?"

Madam Miao also said: "The smarter Xinglai is, the more afraid I am, Sixth Brother..."

Then, Madam Miao looked at her sixth brother with a look of help.

While Zhao Xin was grabbing the cake from the little girl, he listened to the conversation between the two with his ear tilted.

Sixth Brother! ?
This is definitely a new title!
Unfortunately, the other party seemed to be the emperor, and the emperor usually would not reveal his name to others. Then, temple names, posthumous titles, etc. were only given after his death.

to be frank!
It is really not easy for Zhao Xin to judge the other party's identity.

"Sixth brother, what do you say we should do? I'm scared!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that he's too smart and will be envied by others. I'm also afraid that if I don't find him the best teacher now, his talent may be wasted in the future."
