royal girl

Chapter 429
Yue Huaiyi didn't have much luggage in the first place. When he went south to north, he just carried a suitcase of Yan on his back. He took his savings for many years and gifts from neighbors on the road.Now he moved from the inn to Cheng's house, and then moved out from Cheng's house. Cheng Wei wanted to give it to him, but Yue Huaiyi declined it.Knowing his temperament, Cheng Wei didn't force him, and sent him out in person, but was taken aback by so many people who appeared in front of the door.

Not to mention Cheng Wei, even Yue Huaiyi was stunned, looking at the many people in front of the door, all of them dressed in brocade clothes, especially the man standing next to Yuan Zhao, there was no similarity between them, but But the whole body exudes a bitter breath, which makes people feel trembling and frightened.Such a man is too imposing, and it is not easy to ignore it.

Except for this man, he had met Ji Xiucheng and Tong Qi before him. He was not familiar with Ji Xiucheng, but he was familiar with Tong Qi. In the end, the stranger did not know each other either, but he stood beside the man with a tall figure He smiled lightly, looking gentle and easy to deal with, but it made Yue Huaiyi feel that this person was not easy to get along with.

Cheng Wei was a little embarrassed for a while. His family had some contacts in the capital. Although he was not familiar with any of these people in front of his door, it was just that kind of style that made him know that these people were not easy to get along with.For a moment, I was a little worried about Yue Huaiyi, and looked sideways at him.Seeing that Yue Huaiyi had already sold out, he stood in front of Yuan Zhao and said with a smile, "You are here."

Yuan Zhao nodded, "I agreed to move for you." As he spoke, he looked behind Yue Huaiyi, and was slightly stunned for a moment, "Is this just a suitcase?" There must be too few things, and my heart felt a little sour.

"It's simple and easy to do." Yue Huaiyi didn't think there was anything inappropriate about this at all, people were born to be divided into ranks, not everyone can be born to be able to drive beautifully.After finishing speaking, he turned around and said goodbye to Cheng Wei, "I have caused you trouble these days, I will treat you to a drink later."

"You're too polite, it's not because of me that you can't get hurt." Cheng Wei laughed dryly, seeing that those people didn't intend to talk to him, and he didn't want to go up to find shame and bid farewell to Yue Huaiyi.

Yuan Zhao wanted to say hello to Cheng Wei, but he didn't like Cheng Wei's selfishness in bringing Yue Huaiyi home, who let him have a girl at home.A little annoyed in his heart, he just nodded to him. Cheng Wei smiled and nodded as a greeting, and watched the group leave.

Yue Huaiyi felt a little uncomfortable walking with such a group of people, but because of Yuan Zhao's face, he couldn't say anything, so he could only follow Yuan Zhao's side, but secretly frowned.Unfamiliar people gathered together in a pile, and each of them looked at him with strange eyes, which was really uncomfortable.Fortunately, Yuan Zhao still chatted with him as usual, which relieved some embarrassment.

Yuan Zhao's thinking is very simple, even if he wants to introduce the people around him, everyone has to sit down and get to know each other more formally to be considered respectful, so he didn't plan to introduce it casually on the street at the beginning, because it would make the younger brother of the prince They underestimated Yue Huaiyi, and secondly, they would make Yue Huaiyi feel disrespected. Sometimes when introducing friends to each other, an occasion and attitude are very important.

Walking from the edge of Biyun Lake all the way to the small courtyard, the group of people did not call for carriages and horses, just strolling like this.Enjoying the winding and beautiful scenery of the lake, painting boats on the lake, the sound of string music coming from far away, and the nose is full of lotus fragrance. Walking in such a place really makes people feel much better.

Yuan Zhao saw more and more painted boats on the lake, and they only took a cup of tea after leaving, but there were more than a dozen more boats. He couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Why are there so many painted boats? mouth day?"

People like the prince usually don't care about such small things, let alone take part in them.At this time Yuan Zhao asked this question, and four of the six people in the group stared blankly. Although Tong Qi was a little stupid, but his reaction was not slow. No, today is a day of fighting, and seeing that there are more boats today than before, it seems that it will be more lively." He likes this kind of place better, he has a sense of superiority, if it wasn't for the last time When he meets Yuan Zhao, maybe he can win a lot of money.Winning money is a trivial matter, he does not lack that little money, the key is to feel happy.

Thinking of what happened last time, Yuan Zhao wanted to go for another walk, so he said excitedly: "We'll finish our work later, how about going out to play?" Then he turned his head and asked Yue Huaiyi, "Brother Yue, what are you doing?" When will they start?"

Yue Huaiyi knew that Yuan Zhaoai wanted to join in the fun, so he thought for a while and said: "The time is fixed, and it's not easy to change. Let's settle down first, and it's just right to have something to eat."

Yuan Zhao became excited, turned to the prince and said, "I'll let you see how good I am."

The prince was not afraid of Yuan Zhao's provocation, and said indifferently: "Is it worth showing off for you to use your strengths to attack your weaknesses?"

Yuan Zhao: ...

To put it nicely, she would die, she was going to die of anger, she turned her head and ignored the prince.

Yue Huaiyi looked at Yuan Zhao's angry look, and felt funny in his heart, he looked like a quarrelsome little daughter, he didn't know why he couldn't see her being wronged, so after thinking about it, he said softly: "Isn't it the weakness of oneself, the strength of attacking others? More dull?" It was obvious that he stepped forward to slap the person, there must be something wrong with this person.

It's probably because none of the people thought that Yue Huaiyi would dare to refute the prince's words, and the rest of the people looked at him in surprise.Dong Yingxi looked at the prince's calm face and smiled, and said to Yue Huaiyi: "It's not easy to generalize, for example, the person who came to Biyun Lake to fight, although he has some talents, but everyone Most people are actually not very proficient, but...Yuan Zhao has been immersed in it since she was a child, and it is indeed a big advantage to fight with others with her ability. When fighting with others, it is only when you meet your opponent. Head isn't it?"

Yue Huaiyi didn't agree with these words, and said: "Scholars have been with pen, ink, calligraphy and painting since childhood. Although not everyone has this comprehension by analogy, those who can come here to argue are probably right. I am confident. Although the literati fight is not as good as the martial arts, they are still willing to gamble and admit defeat, willing to lose." Speaking of this, he smiled and looked at Dong Yingxi and said: "Most of the people who come here are students. For example, I am willing to try my luck if I have time. Of course, there are also people who come here purely for learning. Although it is not a big stage here, it is also a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Everyone is a generation of real talents.”

"True talent?" The prince seemed to have heard some funny joke, "If you have real talent, you should serve the country. Wasting your time in this kind of place?"

The living environment of the prince and Yue Huaiyi is completely opposite. Yue Huaiyi grew up in the life of ordinary people, and the prince was raised in the heap of gold and jade.I also know that the people are not easy, life is hard, and I also know how hard the ten-year cold window is, but after all, I have never experienced it personally, so the so-called knowledge is just learned from others.Yue Huaiyi lost his love since he was a child, and it was not easy to grow up. I don't know how many hardships he has gone through. His perseverance is also tempered in this way.

The two had different ideas, even though Yue Huaiyi didn't know the identity of the crown prince, seeing his somewhat similar face to Yuan Zhao's, he could be sure of their relationship.The knowledge and literacy displayed by Yuan Zhao have already made him understand that he must not come from a simple family.But so what?He doesn't hate the rich and powerful, but he doesn't slavishly flatter and curry favor either. If he disagrees with his own views, he will speak out frankly.

So at this time, I listened to the prince's words, pondered for a while, and then said: "What is the greatest ideal of a scholar? Naturally, it is my long-cherished wish to be able to return home after high school and serve the country. It's just that sometimes the ideal is very good, not necessarily You will have great luck.”

"From what you said, it seems that you are dissatisfied with the imperial examination?" The prince's words became a bit hostile. Doesn't this mean that their father and son are useless?This kid is looking for death.

With such a big hat on, Tong Qi felt his shoulders shrunk, and cold sweat came out on his forehead. Oh, he should stay at home and not come out for any fun today.

Dong Yingxi was thoughtful at this time, Ji Xiucheng didn't care what the imperial examination was or not, he was a nobleman of the royal family, and he didn't need the imperial examination all his life, why did he care about this?But now he really took a look at Yue Huaiyi Gao, it was not easy for this person to calmly deal with it without panic or panic.

Probably because he didn't expect the crown prince to put on such a big hat all of a sudden, Yuan Zhao was not happy at first, isn't this digging a hole for someone?It's fine to cheat her at home, but now it's Yue Huaiyi's head again. This person is getting more and more difficult to get along with. With a raised eyebrow, he looked at the prince and said, "What do you mean? How can someone bring someone up with a few words? Hat, you're going too far."

The prince ignored Yuan Zhao and just stared at Yue Huaiyi.My sister couldn't think of it, but he understood it very well.If Yue Huaiyi was really dissatisfied with the imperial court or the royal family, no matter how good Yue Huaiyi was, the marriage would not be possible.Prejudice is already there, and it cannot be eliminated with just a few words. If you let it go, even Yuan Zhaozhen will not be happy if you marry him, because the two of them have completely different views and attitudes on things. Live together with a person who has prejudice against your father, your brother, and your family?Certainly not!
It is a fact that there are many champions from poor families, but after high school, how many of these champions have been officials in the court for decades and can grow their families and benefit their children and grandchildren?Why can the famous family continue from generation to generation? Perhaps every generation will not have vigorous descendants, but family inheritance, academic continuation, and the upbringing of descendants are strictly regulated by the family.

Moral heirlooms, more than ten generations, followed by heirs of farming and reading, heirs of poetry and books, and heirs of wealth, but three generations.

The living environment of a person determines your vision and future.These words may be harsh, and may not be generalized, but there are seven out of ten people who cannot escape this rule.

Yuan Zhao stomped his feet, but Yue Huaiyi didn't seem to be affected by this. Although his complexion was a little ugly, he still replied seriously: "If I am dissatisfied with the imperial court, why should I go to Beijing to catch the exam and open a small library in my hometown to teach?" That’s fine. What I’m referring to below is that the invigilators of each class of scientific examinations are different, and the style of writing they like is different, which causes great limitations. The teacher prefers the arguments of Confucianism and Confucius. The invigilator naturally disliked the article I wrote. He thought I was a bunch of nonsense. How can I go to high school? But can you say that I have no talent? No. I can’t say that the invigilator is incompetent Uneducated? Naturally, I can’t. It’s just that everyone holds different opinions and can’t talk about it. So it’s not my fault or the invigilator’s fault, but whose fault is it? I’m afraid no one can answer this question Can you come out?"

Such a novel point of view, on the contrary, made the prince think deeply, and Dong Yingxi was also taken aback. They had never thought about this point, mainly because they had never encountered such a thing.It turns out that things can still be considered from such an angle, it is really... the first time I heard it.

People can only have a deep understanding of things that they have experienced in their own lives.As a poor student, Yue Huaiyi naturally paid more attention to this point.And people like Prince Edward and Dong Yingxi, their own environment and background have already made them not pay attention to this aspect, and even if they are naturally intelligent and have strong comprehension, they can only learn from others if they have not experienced things. If you don't have a deep understanding of the one or two sentences you hear, you won't think of this.If Ding Guogong or the emperor were here at this time, they would not be surprised to hear such words. They could respond to Yue Huaiyi's questions in a few words, but now the crown prince and Dong Yingxi can't because they are inexperienced.

The prince is a person who is rarely troubled by questions, but now Yue Huaiyi's words really made it difficult for him to answer for a while. After thinking about it, he said: "Since you have such an idea, why do you still refer to it?" Where's your invigilator?

"If you don't move forward because of fear, then what's the point of reading? Go home and farm." Yue Huaiyi teased himself, "We are always willing to try our luck, maybe we will meet if we are lucky."

When the prince heard this, he rarely smiled, "You can think about it."

Yuan Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, the big rock was finally not hanging so high.

"I don't have great ambitions in the temple. I just want to be admitted to the Hanlin to learn. The thing I want to do most in my life is to pass on the academic writings of my predecessors. Everyone knows that the Hanlin is hard, as long as you calm down It’s the best place to learn.”

"Hanlin is also the road leading to cabinet ministers." The prince raised his eyebrows and looked at Yue Huaiyi.

"Not to mention the thorny path of the cabinet minister, my temperament is not suitable for doing such a thing. This is still self-knowledgeable. And everyone has his own ambitions. Some people like an extremely talented minister to contribute to the country, to avenge the people, and to walk out a broad road But I like to live in a shabby room alone, and study with peace of mind. Fame and fortune are not as attractive as books and literature.”

"Since this is the case, why do you have to be admitted to the Imperial Academy? Even if you are a scholar, you can write books at home." The prince said.

"There are many isolated copies of ancient books in the Imperial Academy."

Prince:  …

Yuan Zhao was very happy when he saw that the younger brother of the prince was in trouble. He winked at the prince and said to Yue Huaiyi: "When it's here, go and see if you like this house. This shabby room is really suitable for you. Learned."

Prince:  …

Dong Yingxi: ...

Ji Xiucheng and Tong Qi didn't have any feelings, they were just watching the excitement, although the excitement was somewhat unclear.

The courtyard Dong Yingxi chose was not a house facing the street, but a second house in a small alley. It could not only enjoy the scenery but also live in a clean environment, it was very thoughtful.Yue Huaiyi thought it was Yuan Zhao who bought a house at random, without thinking too much, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the wooden door with some traces of time, the wooden door had only been painted and still had a slight smell.Because the wooden door is made of thick materials, there is no major wear and tear and it cannot be used, so it has not been replaced, but repainted.So when he saw this door, Yue Huaiyi still didn't feel anything.

He stretched out his hand to open the door, but was stunned. The first thing that caught his eyes was not the screen wall that is common in the north, but a very tall and unique Taihu stone.The whole piece of Taihu Lake stone is in the posture of an eagle and wants to spread its wings to fly high.Others may not know the preciousness of Taihu stones, but as a southerner, he knows that such stones are not only hard to find, but also expensive.

Bypassing the Taihu Stone, there is a path paved with pebbles at the foot, and the pattern of flowers made of pebbles is dotted on the path. The yard is not big, and three main houses can be seen at a glance.I saw a few clumps of plantains under the window on the west side of the main house, a pomegranate tree under the window on the east side, and a well in the yard, on which a well bed was pressed, and beside it was a three-foot-long and two-foot-wide pool made of stones. Next to the plantain is a stone table and four stone chairs next to the pool.This stone table and chair is not polished very smooth, but carved according to the original shape, which is quite ancient.Pushing the door open, the first thing that catches the eye is a whole row of bookshelves made of bamboo, standing on the edge of the east wall. Some books have been placed on the bookshelves, but not many, not even half full.
