The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 79 The first lesson in the study

It is a custom in Daqing that boys go to school at the age of eight, and princes usually leave the court to study at the age of eight.And because the prince is the seat of the country, a corresponding grand ceremony will be held when enrolling.

But when it came to Yun Ruochen, he naturally didn't have this kind of treatment...

On the first day of school, Yun Ruochen, led by Zhang Yuan, brought her servant Xia Hong to the Upper Study Room in Wenhua Palace.It is very close to the outer palace, and it is also the place where the emperor often meets foreign ministers.

She deliberately came early, not wanting to keep the two gentlemen waiting for her.Although she is a royal family and they are ministers, etiquette between teachers and students must be observed.Especially since today was the first time they met, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on the two gentlemen.

"Ache, are you here?"

Yun Ruochen was a little surprised that Gu Che had stood outside the upper study room and waited early.

"Little princess!"

Gu Che was so happy that he almost lost his mind and jumped up and down. Fortunately, he remembered his promise to his grandfather in time.When he came to the palace, he couldn't be as presumptuous as before.

Besides, he was not as wild as when he just returned to the capital from the grassland.He lived in Gu's mansion for a year, and studied with the old master for so long. Although he didn't improve his knowledge, he understood all the principles he should understand.

Yun Ruochen saw that Gu Che politely saluted and greeted him, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and started to giggle, and then hurriedly suppressed his smile and returned the salute under Nanny Zeng's condemning gaze.

The environment really can change a person.She recalled the situation when Gu Che summoned the golden eagle to tease her when they first met... Maybe he wouldn't be so reckless now, would he?

Elder Gu Ge must be very pleased with Gu Che's "progress", but Yun Ruochen felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Yes, each of us must bow to circumstances.No one can continue to be self-willed forever, not even a natural young man like Gu Che...not.

We are all forced to learn to be sensible, to wear away the sharp edges and corners, and gradually become what everyone wants...

Then, grow up.

She softened her voice and said with a smile: "Ah Che, we will be classmates in the future, so don't be formal. You can call me Ruochen."

"Ok."

Gu Che happily agreed.

Not seeing each other for half a year, the little princess has grown a lot taller, her figure has become more slender and slim, and she gradually has the outline of a girl.

Probably because the food in the palace was more nourishing than that in the palace, her pointed chin became rounder, and there were two touches of blush on her fair cheeks.Gu Che considers himself a rough person, he doesn't know how to describe the beauty of a girl, he just thinks...

The little princess looks even better.

Yun Ruochen didn't know what Gu Che was thinking, the two chatted for a while, and then the little eunuch brought the gentlemen over.

The two gentlemen, one named Chang Shiyang and the other named Tong Hao, were both in their 20s.Being able to be admitted to Jinshi and enter the Hanlin Academy at this age, even though it is only a mere seventh-rank editor, is already standing at the top of the pyramid built by all the scholars in Daqing.

Because of the imperial examination in Daqing, it is absolutely not enough to describe it as thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.If a scholar wants to be a Jinshi from the schoolchildren's examination, he must pass the county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination, the township examination, the general examination, the palace examination, etc., each of which has an elimination rate of more than 90.00%.Many people study all their lives, and they are stuck at the threshold of being a scholar all their lives and cannot move forward.

And these two are still so young, they have already obtained the qualification of first-class Jinshi, entered the Hanlin Academy and were selected by the emperor to teach in the palace.

Yun Ruochen is very confident in her IQ, but when it comes to learning, she is only at the level of an ordinary college liberal arts student.So when she saw these two Hanlin scholars, she respectfully stepped forward to salute them, calling them "Mr. Chang" and "Mr. Tong", with an unusually respectful demeanor.

Gu Che was also busy imitating the example and saluting.

Chang Shiyang and Tong Hao didn't dare to accept the princess' full salute, so they hurriedly turned half of their bodies and helped them up again.

"I didn't expect the little princess to be so courteous... No wonder the emperor wants to open a study for her alone."

Chang Shiyang thought to himself.

Princess Huarong, the eldest daughter of the crown prince, is intelligent and cunning, and is deeply favored by the emperor, noble concubine, and crown prince—this is all the impressions of Yun Ruochen that they got before their arrival.

They are all new Jinshi from the last subject, and they are currently observing politics in the Imperial Academy, which is simply an internship period for officials.But despite the low rank of Hanlin bachelors, the promotion speed is extremely fast. All the officials of the six ministries and cabinet ministers must be from the Hanlin Academy, and they are almost impossible.

They are naturally proud of being so successful at such a young age.

So when they learned that they were hand-picked into the palace to be the teachers of the nine-year-old Princess Huarong, both of them felt a little weird...

They think they are full of knowledge, and they want to do a great career, but now they have to do what any old scholar would do—teaching young children to read and write!
Did you make a mistake!
But the emperor didn't look for anyone else, and specifically pointed out the two of them, which also shows that they are Jane in the emperor's heart!From another point of view, it is quite gratifying.

Therefore, the two entered the palace today with mixed feelings.

And they had discussed it before, probably because the emperor loves the little princess too much, so he made a fuss and found two of them, who are well-educated bachelors in poetry and books, to be teachers. It's such a big battle.

That being the case, there is no need to strictly teach, just let her memorize all the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics slowly.If she recites slowly, don't worry, it's just as much as she can teach.

The two also secretly joked that it would be much easier to teach that young master from Gu Ge's old family. He's a 13-year-old boy, and he's the son of Ge's hometown. He must be familiar with classics and history.Maybe it's already reached the level of breaking the topic?The Gu family is a scholarly family, this young master must be a talented young man...

And after meeting Yun Ruochen, her polite and decent behavior made them feel much more at ease.

"Regardless of his aptitude for reading, this little Princess looks really likable."

As they thought this way, the expressions on their faces became more gentle.And because Gu Che deliberately pretended to be honest, he also appeared so honest and simple in the eyes of the teachers.

Of course, they soon discovered what it means to be invisible, the sea water cannot be measured, and the mud cannot be glued to the wall...

Because the first lesson of school, there is no doubt that it is "finding the bottom line".

Yun Ruochen lamented that teachers have always used this trick from ancient times to the present. It is too inhumane for them to take a preliminary test when they meet each other, and they don't give them time to adjust their minds.

In order to accommodate the little princess in their minds who "learn less at a young age", the two teachers gave very simple questions for the test. They just asked them to write a big character and memorize a passage of "Children Learn Qionglin" to listen to.As we all know, "Children's Learning Qionglin" is the most basic literacy textbook, and any child who has learned characters can memorize it - except for Gu Che.

"You don't know how to recite "Children Learn Qionglin"?"

Chang Shiyang couldn't believe his ears.

They are all 13 years old!Not so!Chang Shiyang recalled that when he was 13 years old, he was already a well-known child prodigy in his hometown, and won the title of county examination with No.1 score.

It is said that Gu Ge was born as a child prodigy, how could this Gu Che... be "ignorant and incompetent" to such an extent?

Fortunately, Gu Che has a thick skin. Although he felt embarrassed, he still told his husband frankly that he grew up with his father at the border since he was a child, so he was enlightened very late.

"Mr. Chang." Yun Ruochen interjected lightly, "Ah Che's father is the General Gu who died in the battle at Hulao Pass."

The two gentlemen froze for a moment, then recalled Gu Ge's family affairs, and looked at Gu Che with more tolerance.If so, it would be justifiable.

They are still young, and they still admire the loyal ministers who sacrificed for their families.If Gu Che lived with his father at the border and the conditions were difficult, it's no wonder that he studied late...

"Ruochen, do you know about my father?"

Gu Che was surprised and moved.

It is not surprising that Yun Ruochen knew that her father died at the border, but she even remembered clearly which battle his father died in.

Yun Ruochen nodded and said, "Ache, your father is a great hero."

"um. Thank you."

Gu Che felt warm in his heart, and the annoyance he felt because he couldn't answer the question just now was relieved a lot.

Tong Hao saw the conversation between the two, and suddenly felt a strange feeling.

This little princess is not ordinary.

She can understand the situation of the people around her, and she can help them out in time, yet she appears so sincere.A few easy words not only made Gu Che step down from the stage, but also eased the atmosphere in the classroom a lot.

Moreover, she can blurt out about General Gu, which proves that she is not ignorant of the affairs of the court, and maybe she still pays attention to them from time to time.

Delicate in mind, considerate, courteous, and courteous in his heart.

Such qualifications... It's a pity that she is a daughter!

Tong Hao silently raised his evaluation of Yun Ruochen in his heart.After that, Yun Ruochen's handsome calligraphy and fluent recitation failed to stir up any ripples in his heart.

The first lesson in the study room ended soon.

"Distant mountains."

After leaving the palace gate, Tong Hao looked back at the inner palace thoughtfully, and softly called Chang Shiyang's name.

"Huh? Shuhan, what's the matter?" Shuhan is Tong Hao's nickname.Because the two of them are similar in age and are Jinshi of the same subject, they usually have a good relationship and they always call each other Biaozi.

"I think Princess Huarong is different from what we imagined before..."

"Yes, I also feel this way." Chang Shiyang nodded in agreement. "This girl's intelligence is not the kind of sharp and exposed cleverness, she is, um..."

He searched for the right words in his mind, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "She is a very intelligent girl."

"Yes."

Tong Hao raised the corners of his mouth, and there was a faint brilliance in his eyes.

"Yuanshan, the matter of going to the palace to give lectures... seems less boring than expected."

Chang Shiyang didn't understand why his friend suddenly became excited.Well, the little princess is very smart, but she is still a princess. In the future, she will at most be a princess—how should I put it, she is still a girl.

What is Tong Hao thinking?

　Tong Haohui is another important figure.
