Royal Kindergarten

Chapter 216 Couplet
"Scholar, Farmer, Businessman, Jiao Zhengyu?" Xiao Zhan followed Cai Kongming to read it again, scratching his head and asking in puzzlement, "Master Cai, what do you mean by this couplet?"

Cai Kongming squinted his eyes and shook his head and said, "This is a group borrowed word couplet, which can also be called a cut-and-dock couplet. The word 'Shinong' in front of it refers to the four occupations of the people, and the word 'gong' is the homonym of 'Gong'. The last five characters are the five-tone 'Gong Shangjiao Zheng Yu' on the Guqin. Well, Miss Nangong should have taught you the latter, right?"

The children nodded one after another.

Cai Kongming took another piece of paper and wrote down the two groups of words before and after, and said while writing: "The original nine characters can be put together with seven characters, and the two words in it should be put together. There are other meanings that I don't know. Good connection! Wonderful connection! What's more, Mr. Sheng can match up! I have to think about it." After he finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back, and went to the classroom. Pacing around the corner.This is an opportunity to challenge Young Master Sheng at close range, he can't admit defeat no matter what!

The children faced each other for a long time with the couplets on the paper, until Dugu Xuan tentatively said: "Uh...Since Mr. Cai is not in class, let's play checkers!"

"Oh! Okay!" Everyone echoed in unison.After all, couplets are too obscure for them, let's play checkers!
Xiao Ziyi heard everything in his ears and couldn't help sighing.This couplet was indeed written by her to Nangong Sheng yesterday. It happened that the first four words alluded to the topic that the two of them talked about in Dongyue Temple yesterday, and the latter "Gongshangjiao Zhengyu" pointed out that his real identity was liking The second son of the Nangong family of music.But I don't know if the other party can see that she has seen through his identity.

"Jingmodan's life and death? No, no, the last five characters are a set of words..." Cai Kongming's nagging voice came indistinctly, and was gradually drowned in the children's games.

Xiao Ziyi cast her eyes on the branches swaying in the wind outside the window. In fact, the pair Nangong Sheng gave her was also a masterpiece.

He was right: cold and hot, warm and cool, respectful and thrifty.

"Cold, hot, warm and cool" is the standard for dividing the performance of traditional Chinese medicine. When chatting with Yan Liangyue the night before yesterday, she once asked about the origin of her name.She said that the three elder brothers in her family and she used these four words to rank.If Yan Liangyue hadn't mentioned this, she really wouldn't have known that these four words represented the properties of traditional Chinese medicine.

The "cool" at the end of the couplet replaced the "good", which should actually be the five characters "gentle, courteous, courteous and thrifty". Li Yunqing also taught it in class two days ago, which represents the moral standard of Confucianism.

"Cold, hot, gentle, courteous, frugal..." Using traditional Chinese medicine to treat Confucianism, does he mean that even if he accepts her "scholar" as the leader, he still thinks that this society has become corrupt and needs to be prescribed the right medicine?

But is this really something she should be thinking about?She is just a little princess, and when she grows up, she will be married off obediently by her father and brother... Xiao Ziyi rests on her chin with one hand, looking at the floating clouds in the sky, her thoughts can't help but drift along. thinking about something.

He has already engaged in a kiss... He has already engaged in a kiss...

Yes, she should have thought of it long ago.His age is not considered young in ancient times, even if he has never been married, he should have settled in a family long ago.This is normal!In no way should she be surprised by the news.

However, I am so unwilling!I'm really not reconciled, my heart is always sour and astringent.

In fact, she admitted that without this incident, she might not have any thoughts about Nangong Sheng.But once she faced this fact, a feeling called jealousy always occupied her heart, and she couldn't get rid of it.

It's as if I found a piece of uncut jade and was very happy. Before I took it in my hand, I found out that this uncut jade turned out to be someone else's.

Forget it, in order to prevent yourself from thinking wildly, reduce your contact with Nangong Sheng.Although there are still many mysteries about him, even though his origin and purpose are mysteries, even though he is indeed very attractive to her... Xiao Ziyi sorted out her feelings for Nangong Sheng little by little, and put them into her heart little by little. In the box, the intention is the same as before, buried in the bottom of my heart.

"Hi! Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Nangong Zheng's pretty face suddenly appeared outside the window, startling Xiao Ziyi, and all thoughts in her mind stopped.

"You... what are you doing here at this time?" Xiao Ziyi recovered and looked at her in surprise.

"Of course something has happened! Come out and talk, I think the classroom is really chaotic." Nangong Zheng stood on tiptoe and looked into the classroom, shaking his head helplessly.

It was only then that Xiao Ziyi noticed that Cai Kongming was pacing in the corner thinking about couplets, while the six children were playing checkers with Chunfeng, shouting and cheering into chaos.She was able to enter her own world just now amidst the noise comparable to that of a vegetable market, it was really remarkable.

Let them play!Xiao Ziyi stood up and stepped on the table and jumped out of the window under Nangong Zheng's suspicious gaze. "Why are you so surprised? To save time, I wanted to do this a long time ago!"

"I've convinced you, let's go and play on the swing!" Nangong Zheng sighed, and pulled Xiao Ziyi over to occupy a swing.

"Hey, why are you here at this hour? Isn't your class in the afternoon?" Xiao Ziyi gently let her swing swing.

"Is there any other checkers? Xiao'er said that checkers are fun when she came home. I heard that checkers are very popular in the palace now, so I want to come here and ask you for a set. Don't refuse me!" Nangong Zheng said seriously.If she could get the most popular items in the palace, then she would be envied to death in the circle of high-ranking officials and noble ladies.

"Yes, don't worry. Chunfeng and the others have made a lot of sets, you can take two more sets back as gifts." Xiao Ziyi said with a light smile, leaning her head on the rope of the swing.

"Really! Hehe, the princess is the best!" Nangong Zheng happily swung the swing high and laughed happily.

Xiao Ziyi looked down at her toes, and finally couldn't help asking: "Xiaozheng, that... has your second brother engaged..." Her voice was inaudible, and she felt really embarrassed.But she wants to make sure, make sure!Who let someone interrupt you when you were sorting out your feelings just now?Then she allowed herself to be curious again before clearing up her mood, and it was best to ask which family's lady was so lucky.

Nangong Zheng stopped swinging on the swing immediately after hearing the words, and she asked back dumbfounded: "What? Princess, what did you say?"

Xiao Ziyi thought she didn't hear clearly, so she repeated listlessly: "I heard that your second brother is engaged, and I'm curious to know which family's lady it is..."

"Ah? Ah? What? You said that my second brother is finally willing to have a woman want him?" Nangong Zheng jumped off the swing in surprise and stood in front of Xiao Ziyi. After a few seconds, she blinked her eyes and said in confusion: " But why don't I know?"
