The little princess tames the prince

Chapter 29: Making up for the festival at night in the garden (2)
He went back without playing too late, and Zhao She sent Sister Zhen back to her room.Just at the gate of the courtyard, she let go of her hand and handed it to the girls: "Go back and go to sleep. Come to the study tomorrow, cousin has something to tell you." The eyes of the two aunts who returned to the room were mostly envious.

Sister Zhen took the maids into the room, looked at the white cat and the little fish in the porcelain basin, and then went back to the silk tent.I couldn't sleep for a while, thinking about the two aunts I met today, they have been standing and waiting.Except that when I arrived, I followed my family to salute myself and Zhao She, and I didn't say a word.

Which of these is Aunt Shi?Which one is Aunt Shui?The real sister yawned lazily, as if it was not important.

The next morning, I went to the study, followed by seven or eight girls into the courtyard this time, stopped in the corridor, and Zhenjie came in by herself.Zhao She was sitting in the study, with a person sitting next to him.Seeing the real sister come in, he wants to get up.Zhao Amnesty waved his hand: "From now on, Mr. Zhang, please sit down."

Zhang Shizhen looked at the little girl who came in.She is wearing a gold-colored blouse, a gold-embroidered skirt, and a white jade phoenix hairpin in her hair. The phoenix holds a string of beads the size of a longan in its mouth.The real sister came here because of Zhao She, so she was dressed so formally.In Zhang Shizhen's eyes, there is invisible pressure.The prince attaches great importance to this Miss Shen, but fortunately she is not an official gentleman, the prince said that it is enough to just talk about the shallow truth.

"This is Mr. Zhang, my staff member. From now on, every two days in the morning, I will come to the study to listen to Mr.'s lectures. I rest every five days, so don't be too tired." Zhao She said, and the real sister came to salute.Zhang Shizhen returned the half salute, and said a few words: "I dare not do it."

Go back to the room again, no one doesn't like it.The flowers bloomed joyfully: "The lord personally pointed out the sir." Qin's mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, and wrung her fingers to explain to the real sister again. The real sister pouted slightly, and went to the study. Don't be willful and don't be naughty; if you can't avoid it when you go back to the room, Mother Qin also wants to say don't be willful and don't be naughty.

The next day, Zhang Shizhen came in first, and saw Zhao She going to the next room to sit and wait for Zhenjie.There are two desks in the room, the big one is Zhang Shizhen sitting on it, and the small one is Zhenjie's.Zhao Ji brought tea: "The girl won't be here until after breakfast, sir will wait a little longer." Zhang Shizhen nodded, he knew that the girl came late.

Scholars cultivate their morality, and Zhang Shizhen, who has studied hard for many years, can also sit still.Occasionally looking outside, the four servants, Zhao Ji, Zhao Xiang, Zhao Ru, and Zhao Yi, came and went from time to time, either holding letters or official documents in their hands.The prince is busy with official duties in the army, and he is not idle in the palace.

Sister Zhen only appeared at the gate of the courtyard at this time, she was wrapped in a brand new ivory embroidered blouse, surrounded by maids, and went to see the prince first.

Zhao Amnesty, who was at the desk, came over, holding the hand of the true sister: "I'll take you there." When he came to the next door, he handed it to Zhang Shizhen: "Sir, it's hard work." Zhang Shizhen bowed: "I don't dare to be a late student."

Then I took Sister Zhen to the small book case and stood still, and said to her: "You must listen to Mr., cousin is next door if you don't go out, come back to me if you want anything."

After settling down like this, Zhao She turned around and went out.The master and apprentice sent him off together, and then the lecture began.It was about the Book of Filial Piety, and the homework in the morning was not too heavy, only one chapter and some outlines for writing. Zhang Shizhen asked Zhenjie to write and endorse by himself, and he sat behind the first book table and read a book to accompany him.

The room was quiet and quiet, only the voices of girls coming in to bring tea and snacks were kept low to avoid disturbing the room.The maids waited in the porch to listen to orders, Huakai whispered to Hong Jian: "My lord, there are many sycamore trees in this study, there is a little wind, and there is no heat at all."

Hong Jian also whispered to Hua Kai and the girls: "Everyone at home knows it, but those who come with the girl don't know. This is the prince's inner study, and no one else can enter it. We wait for the girl to get in. , don’t read and listen.” Hua Kai was taken aback, and was in awe of the study.Looking at the gate of the courtyard, only Zhao Ru, a young servant, was watching, and there seemed to be no one in the courtyard.The flowers bloomed and doubts came up: since it is important, but not many people guard it?The words turned around in my heart, but I didn't say it.

Near noon, the tea was changed twice and snacks were delivered once.Zhao Ji came from the corridor and entered with a smile on his face.Huakai listened attentively, and the girls also listened attentively.Zhao Ji said to Zhang Shizhen: "Sir, I have lunch here at noon, and the prince said to invite you for the girl."

Zhenjie, who was writing on the desk, raised her eyes slightly. She was cautious in the morning, and she was also cautious when she saw Mr. Zhang.It's all right for an apprentice to be worried, but where is the worry for a teacher?Zhang Shizhen couldn't handle it well, when he heard the prince set the meal, he stood up and respectfully agreed: "I dare not be."

After going to school for a few days, sister Zhen felt at ease, the homework was not heavy, her cousin did not urge her to do her homework, and neither did her husband; Zhang Shizhen was even more at ease, and this day he had dinner with Zhao She, and the two of them sat on the porch listening to Wutong's lecture. With a slight wind and a hint of alcohol, Zhang Shizhen said honestly: "I was scared at first, and felt that I was more difficult to handle than facing the prince, and I was worried that I would not study well, and my husband was uneasy."

Zhao She has a lot of staff, he is both civil and military, he likes to shoot and hunt strong horses, and he also likes the company of literati to sing the wind and enjoy the moon. Zhang Shizhen is a person who often drinks and eats with him and is familiar with Zhao She's temperament.Zhao She smiled: "Just talk about the principles of filial piety for women. I'm really young. I'm afraid she will only know how to be naughty. Let her write a few words so that she won't be ignorant, and she will be conscientious. matter."

Zhao Ji changed into hot wine and poured it for the prince and Mr. Zhang.Zhang Shizhen raised his wine glass to respect Zhao She, wiped off the cold sweat on his head on purpose, and said, "When the lord said that, my heart fell to the ground. It seems that the teaching is not good, and the lord will not beat you." Zhao She laughed aloud , Zhao Ji also laughed, thinking that Mr. Zhang's joke was good.

"I invite you to teach Miss Zhen, of course it is Qu Cai. I have a lot of staff in my account, you know, the only thing that makes me feel at ease is just a few. You teach for a few days, and then ask Mr. Yu to teach Qu Li again. After a few days , and then replace Mr. Zhan." Zhao She said slowly: "The three gentlemen are all celebrities, and they have been fighting with me for several years. Now I also need you to be by my side under my rule. They will be transferred from the army at once, so that people can watch. I thought I couldn’t manage it.”
