Chapter 418
: Children enter school
At this time, the guy who pulled half of Wu Ming's clothes suddenly ran over: "Head, there is a letter in this clothes. I wonder what it is written?"
The little leader didn't know Chinese characters either, but since the soldier brought it, he had to take a look at it, otherwise he would seem to be incompetent.
He picked it up and looked at it in a pretentious manner, and then handed it to the soldier: "You go to the military camp and send the letter to the general, so that the general can see it."
Although the general did not recognize Chinese characters, there were people in the military camp who recognized them.
This letter is very important. It was written by Liu Ping to Fan Zhongyan for help. The seal on it is the certificate of contact.
The general immediately realized the value of the letter and did not dare to stop for a long time. He quickly gave it to Li Yuanhao.
When Li Yuanhao saw this letter of help, he smiled. God is so helping!
For Li Yuanhao, this letter of help can solve his biggest problem now. Because this letter can defeat all Liu Ping's hopes at critical moments, and if done well, Fan Zhongyan can also rescue him according to his own ideas!
Li Yuanhao seemed to see that the balance of victory had tilted towards him. He even thought of the scene where Fan Zhongyan's hundreds of thousands of troops entered his trap and was chased by the Dangxiang Iron Cavalry all the way. Hundreds of thousands of Song troops fled in desperate attempts. The scene must be spectacular!
He slowly put away this precious letter: "Stop siege and surround it."
Yeli Wangrong knew that the situation of the battle must have changed, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, what's going on?"
Li Yuanhao smiled slightly: "This bone is too difficult to chew. Let's prepare a big pot and eat a meal of fat!"
Bianjing.
Chen Yuan led the young and strong sects to press forward step by step, and the people who supported the new policy gradually gained an absolute advantage. Although Xia Shun and Pang Ji and others who were unwilling to change the status quo were trying their best to resist, the positions were still lost. Some people immediately joined Ouyang Xiu's side when they saw that the wind was wrong.
As Fan Zhongyan's proud disciple, Ouyang Xiu is now trying hard to build the foundation for the new policy that his teacher wants to implement.
Judging from the current situation, the foundation has been laid well, and it is time for me to take the next step. If I do it well, maybe I will give the teacher a surprise when the teacher comes back.
He needed Chen Yuan's help, and Ouyang Xiu discovered that Chen Yuan was a man with some skills, especially in fanning the flames, he was much better than himself.
The Prince-Consort's Mansion has become a frequent visitor place for Ouyang Xiu. He has been here twice yesterday. However, the first time Chen Yuan went to visit Lu Yijian, and the second time he was discussing business matters with those merchants.
He came early today and blocked Chen Yuan, who was about to leave, at the door of his house: "Mr. Prince Consort, you are making it easy for me to find now!"
Chen Yuan hurriedly replied: "Mr. Ouyang, I'm about to go out and have something to do. I heard that you came to see me yesterday and are about to visit you in the afternoon."
Ouyang Xiu grabbed his sleeve: "Don't wait for the afternoon, let's talk about the matter in the morning."
Chen Yuan looked confused: "Mr. Ouyang, are you in a hurry? If you don't have to wait for me for a long time, I'll go to find you in the afternoon, what about?"
Ouyang Xiu shook his head firmly: "No, you can't wait for a moment. I want to formulate a plan to strengthen the country to make the Song Dynasty more sufficient. You are an expert in this regard, so you must come up with ideas for me."
When Chen Yuan heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly: "I said to Lord Ouyang, you can't even formulate a preliminary plan for ten days or half a month."
Ouyang Xiu looked up and said, "I know. So I plan to live in your prince's mansion from today. Let's discuss slowly. I have filed a leave of absence from the emperor and don't have to go to court. Don't go out to do anything, let's discuss slowly."
Chen Yuan was really scared by him. This guy is now a censor. He lives here with him? Are you kidding?
Chen Yuan begged almost: "Mr. Ouyang, I have something urgent to do! Is it okay if I have half a day? I will definitely visit your house in the afternoon."
Ouyang Xiu said: "I am a state affairs and a major event. Can you push your affairs back?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "Push, push, I will definitely push back, but today's matter cannot be pushed away. My father is coming, so I have to prepare some things he likes."
When Ouyang Xiu heard that this was the reason, he stopped talking immediately.
In the Song Dynasty, the country was governed by benevolence and filial piety. If my son died, even if the prime minister of the dynasty had to resign and go home to observe filial piety. Now Chen Shimei had to make some preparations to welcome his father, which is what Ouyang Xiu thought was as important as state affairs.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home in the afternoon, so don't miss the appointment."
Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay, don't worry, Lord Ouyang."
After Ouyang Xiu left, Chen Yuan stepped onto the carriage that Han Qi parked outside the door: "Go and find your sister-in-law."
Han Qi knew that this was going to Qin Xianglian.
Welcoming Chen Shimei’s father? It’s still early, and they will take at least four or five days to come, and Chen Yuan doesn’t need to do this kind of thing.
First of all, Chen Shimei's parents have lived in the countryside for so many years and are a typical person who can endure hardships.
Secondly, Zhao Yi has taken care of everything in the past two days, and she wants to leave a good first impression in front of Chen Shimei's parents.
Chen Yuan was happy and relaxed. Today I agreed to take Chen Dong Ge and Chen Chunmei to see the academy. Both children are already at the age of going to school, especially Chen Chunmei, who seems to be much older now.
Although the Song Dynasty did not have high requirements for girls, Chen Yuan's philosophy in this regard was always on the slogan of the 21st century. Times have changed, and men and women are the same.
No matter who you have made a promise with, you can’t make an appointment with your child. Brother Chen Dong and Chen Chunmei were also very happy today. They crawled out of the bed early in the morning wearing the new clothes that Chen Yuan bought for them. Brother Chen Dong ran to the door one after another to see why Chen Yuan hadn’t come yet.
When he saw the carriage, he jumped up excitedly: "Mom, mom, Daddy is here!"
Qin Xianglian quickly came out of it, holding a broom in her hand.
When I rented this yard, I originally hired two maids, but was fired by Qin Xianglian. She said she wanted to do something, and that kind of life that she could reach out was not what she lived.
Seeing Chen Yuan get off the carriage, Chen Dong Ge and Chen Chunmei jumped out all of a sudden. They were also very familiar with Han Qi and no longer had any fear. They jumped onto the carriage without waiting for Chen Yuan to greet him.
Chen Yuan said to Qin Xianglian: "Xianglian, please put the work in your hands and let's go together."
When the two children heard this, Qin Xianglian seemed a little hesitant and walked to Chen Yuan and whispered: "My husband, I'm afraid that people will see it, it's not good."
Chen Yuan smiled: "It's okay, just follow me. It's okay to get to know the road to the academy. If it's windy and rainy in the future, if Han Qi doesn't have time, you can pick up and drop off Brother Dong."
When Qin Xianglian heard him say this, she did not refuse and came all the way to the academy outside the city.
This academy is not the best in Bianjing. According to the current saying, it is just a private school. Some of the private academies in the Song Dynasty were also very glorious, but the one chosen by Chen Yuan was very ordinary because he didn't want to attract others' attention.
At least he is better to be more stable when the problem has not been solved between Qin Xianglian and Zhao Yi. Although Chen Yuan likes to be cool, he can't stand it if he really pulls a tornado.
The academies in the academies do not distinguish between grades and classes, but only teach knowledge according to the age of the child.
Like Brother Chen Dong, he was placed in a junior school, with the main purpose of learning to read and recite. The school Chen Chunmei entered taught the books of sages, and the teacher's requirements were stricter. Not only did he have to memorize, but he also had to fully understand it.
Better schools will teach some arithmetic at this time. If you are older and you are fifteen or sixteen years old, you will start to learn what you need for scientific examinations.
Of course, there are other skilled schools, such as those who teach painting and embroidery, which are specially designed to satisfy those who can achieve fame without using scientific examinations, and those who no longer expect to achieve fame.
Chen Yuan was not familiar with this academy, he asked Yan Cha San to find it.
The gentlemen in the academy didn’t know that the one who sent their children to school today was the legendary prince-consort. They only knew that it was introduced by Lord Yan from Dali Temple, so they naturally had to make arrangements.
Both Chen Dong Ge and Chen Chunmei’s seats were ready. As soon as they walked into the gate of the academy, the loud reading sound attracted the two children. Chen Dong Ge looked excited: “Dad, will I study here in the future?”
Chen Yuan nodded: "Well, every morning I will ask Uncle Han to take you to the foot of the mountain. You have to walk on the road up the mountain by yourself. You have to listen to your teacher in the school. At noon, the teacher will arrange for you to have lunch. Someone will pick you up in the evening."
He had just finished saying this and was stunned for a moment.
This sentence is actually a copy. When my father sent him to elementary school, he said it many times. At that time, he was tired of listening to it. Why did he say it again now? Chen Yuan looked down at Brother Chen Dong, and he seemed to have not listened to anything. Chen Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart.
After putting the two children in the academy, for Chen Dongge and Chen Chunmei, it means that they will start receiving the first day of formal education.
Qin Xianglian's face was filled with satisfaction. When she walked down the foothills of the academy, Chen Yuan saw that there was no one around and walked up to hug Qin Xianglian's shoulder: "Madam, do you feel a little wronged?"
Qin Xianglian obviously had never tried such a close contact with Chen Shimei in broad daylight. Her body seemed a little unnatural and wanted to avoid it.
Chen Yuan hugged her tightly with a force in his hand: "It's okay, no one sees it here. To be honest, I definitely hide you like this, which is very unfair to you and the children."
Qin Xianglian didn't struggle anymore: "My husband, you still have to worry about us in your heart, which is enough for me. As long as you treat your children well in the future, don't let them be bullied, and don't think so much about me."
This is Qin Xianglian's sincerity. Most people as simple as her will not use hypocritical words to conceal their hearts.
Chen Yuan was very moved and took a deep breath of the air in the mountains and forests: "I have thought about it. When my parents come, I will let Linghua enter the door first, and then find a suitable time to tell Zhao Yi that you are here. Zhao Yi has never suffered any grievances since he was a child. I hope you can accommodate her. Take your child first, so that Zhao Yi will feel more comfortable and things will be much easier."
Qin Xianglian nodded: "Well, I'm listening to my husband. I can take care of the children well, don't worry."
Chen Yuan felt a little guilty: "But, I feel wronged you like this."
