The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 54 Entrance to the Hongwen Museum

"Master Hou, today is the day you enter the palace for school, so get up quickly."

Early in the morning, Long'er walked into Xuan Shijing's room with the toiletries in her hand. Seeing Xuan Shijing sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes, she hurriedly urged her.

"Long'er, it's spring when the first month comes out, Lord Hou, I'm suffering from spring sleepiness." Xuan Shijing muttered indistinctly.

"I know, I know, Lord Hou said that spring is sleepy, autumn is exhausted, winter sleeps and summer naps, I really don't know what season Hou Ye is when you don't get sleepy." Long'er put down her things, walked to the bed, and dragged Xuan Shijing up : "Little Marquis, you should wash up quickly, it's getting late, your breakfast and lunch have already been placed on the carriage, you are in the palace at noon, and Long'er can't look after you, so you can only ask for more Blessed."

At this time, Xuan Shijing had come to his senses, and while washing his face, he asked, "Is there still no food in the palace?"

"My little marquis, it is already a great gift from His Majesty to let the sons of many high-ranking officials enter the palace and enter the Hongwen Museum. You still expect the Shangshi Bureau to send people to help prepare lunch." Long'er took advantage of this While Xuan Shijing was washing, he prepared the outer robe and cloak that Xuan Shijing was going to wear: "Every morning Gao Jun will send the Marquis to the gate of the palace, and after school in the afternoon, Gao Jun will also wait for the little Marquis at the gate of the palace. Lord."

"From today on, Gao Jun will become my personal driver, what a waste." Xuan Shijing stretched out his hand to put on the robe that Long'er handed over.

"It's nothing to waste. Although Gao Jun said that his martial arts are not as good as mine, his lightness kung fu is worse than mine. He can still protect Lord Hou on the road. Even if he can't beat him, he can take him and run away."

"I have no grievances or enmities with anyone, who can come to trouble me." Xuan Shijing didn't care.

"That's not necessarily true, young master, it's not like you don't know that the occasional friction between noble children in Chang'an City may lead to a big fight if there is a disagreement." Long'er put the cloak on Xuan Shijing's shoulders.

"Master Hou, I entered the palace to study, and I didn't go to those fireworks and willow lanes to compete for the wind and be jealous." Xuan Shijing smiled slightly, and then opened the door and walked out. It was indeed getting late outside. The first day of school, the boss was late is bad.

After the first lunar month, Chang'an City has returned to its former bustle and bustle. The willow trees on both sides of the street have sprouted green branches and buds, heralding the coming spring. Sure enough, spring is the season for the recovery of all things and the growth of all spirits. Open the curtains of the carriage, A breeze brushed over Xuan Shijing's cheeks, but it felt extremely warm and moist, unlike the cold and dry north wind in winter.

When the carriage reached the gate of the palace, Xuan Shijing jumped out of the carriage, Gao Jun took out Xuan Shijing's food box from the carriage, and followed Xuan Shijing all the way to the palace gate, where the eunuchs of the Huangmen were waiting here.

"My servant has seen Lord Xuanwei." The little eunuch saw Xuan Shijing approaching and bowed to salute.

"Father-in-law, you don't have to be polite, dare to ask your father-in-law's name." Xuan Shijing said while gesturing to Gao Jun behind him.

"Return to Lord Marquis, this servant will celebrate her birthday." The little eunuch replied respectfully.

Gao Jun saw the signal from his master Hou, took out a bunch of copper coins from his cuff, and handed it to Qishou calmly: "Eunuch Qishou, my master Hou is the first day of school today, I hope you will take care of me."

"My servant thanked Lord Hou." Qishou weighed the copper coin in his hand, his face beaming with joy: "Young Lord Hou will be taken to the Hongwen Museum by this servant today, to know the way, and the sons of all families can accompany the school boy when they enter the palace. One person, the young master can bring the book boy into the palace in the future."

Xuan Shijing nodded. It turned out that he was going to bring a book boy, so he glanced at Gao Jun behind him. He had already asked you to prepare everything for the start of school, but now there is still a shortage of a book boy.

Gao Jun's heart was full of cold sweat, he was indeed negligent, and even forgot to find a book boy for Master Hou.

"Young Lord, the people from Erxian Village have already settled down, why don't I go back and find someone for you." Gao Jun asked cautiously.

"Huh? Are you settled? I really forgot about this matter. I will arrange the matter of the book boy myself. You go to Zhuangzi with Uncle Zhong and help me see how the paper-making workshop is going." Xuan Shijing Said.

"Yes, Lord Hou." Gao Jun replied, and then handed the food box in his hand to Qishou: "It's time for you, Father-in-Law."

"It should." Qishou smiled and took the food box from Gao Jun's hand.

After Gao Jun bid farewell to Xuan Shijing, he drove the carriage and left the palace gate, while Xuan Shijing followed Qishou all the way to the Hongwen Museum in the palace.

When Xuan Shijing arrived at the Hongwen Hall, there were already many people gathered here, all in brocade clothes and sable furs, accompanied by their own bookboys.

"Eunuch Qishou, who are those female relatives? Are they also here to enroll?" Xuan Shijing couldn't help being puzzled when he saw that there were three graceful and good-looking women in the crowd, accompanied by several court ladies.

"Young Lord, those three princesses, Changle, Baling, and Linchuan, have received His Majesty's will to enter Hongwen Hall together." Qishou said.

No wonder there are so many princes and sons around, they turned out to be princesses, Xuan Shijing tilted his head and looked at the three princesses in the crowd. If you say that the princesses of the Li family are also famous in history, especially that Gao Yang Princess, presumably that Princess Gaoyang is still in her infancy, Xuan Shijing thought of the graceful Fang Yiai she met in Yanlai Tower that day, and she secretly attached herself to her, poor baby.

"Xiaojing, this way."

"Brother Shijing."

Xuan Shijing was looking at the three proud girls, and when he heard someone calling him, he turned his head to search in the crowd, and found that Li Chongyi and Qin Ying were waving to him not far away, and there were Chai Lingwu and another boy beside him. .

Xuan Shijing started to walk over there.

"Brother Chongyi, Brother Huaiyu, this is..." Xuan Shijing looked at the young man standing beside him.

"This is Brother Chu Mo's younger brother, Cheng Huailiang. Chu Mo and two brothers from Yuchi's family went to the army together. Before he left, let us take care of his younger brother." Li Chongyi said.

"Cheng Huailiang next time, this must be Lord Xuanwei." Cheng Huailiang stepped forward and cupped his hands.

Xuan Shijing carefully looked at Cheng Huailiang, different from Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi, this Cheng Huailiang was not as rough as Cheng Yaojin, but he had a good appearance, dressed in a Confucian shirt, he looked like a literati.

"Brother Huailiang, you're welcome, just call me Xiaojing." Xuan Shijing responded with a smile.

"Little Jing, you didn't bring a book boy?" Li Chongyi saw that there was only a little yellow eunuch beside Xuan Shijing.

"Yes, I was negligent. I will bring someone with me tomorrow. Speaking of which, it is really inconvenient to enter the palace without someone." Xuan Shijing said, suddenly found that one person was missing, and asked, "Where is Brother Lingwu?"

"Brother Lingwu is looking for a fragrance." Qin Ying beckoned Xuan Shijing to look to the other side.

Following Qin Ying's gaze, Xuan Shijing saw Chai Lingwu among the crowd surrounding the three princesses.

"Brother Ling Wu is really..." Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly.
