Chapter 46: A Cousin

When Xie Wei walked in from outside, he saw a scene like this: the entire Fengchen Hall was quiet for some reason, and everyone's gaze was directed in one direction, towards the far right corner of the third row. Princess Leyang did not sit in her seat, but instead stood in this corner, her eyes red and she was about to cry, not knowing whether she was moved or wronged, tightly holding onto the delicate hand of the girl in the corner.

And that girl

It's Jiang Xuening.

At this moment, Jiang Xuening was wandering in her mind about the gains and losses of being treated so well by Shen Zhiyi. She had no idea that Xie Wei's voice would ring outside, until she saw his figure appear at the entrance of the palace. It was only then that she realized it later.

Xie Wei looked at her hand held by Shen Zhiyi.

In that calm gaze, a hint of contemplation appeared.

For some reason, Jiang Xuening suddenly felt a chill in the back of her head. The palm he was staring at had a feeling of being pierced by a sharp arrow, and for a moment, her hair stood on end. She unconsciously withdrew her palm.

God knows what Xie Wei would think when he saw their good relationship!

What if you suspect she wants to cause trouble again?

Fortunately, Shen Zhiyi's attention was also drawn away by Xie Wei at this moment, and she did not notice this small detail. After a moment of confusion, she raised a smile and took the initiative to bow down to Xie Wei, saying, "I have seen you before, sir. Greetings to the gentlemen."

At this point, other people followed and saluted without realizing it.

Jiang Xuening immediately stood up from her seat and bowed to Xie Wei, saying, "I have seen Mr. Xie."

Xie Wei then withdrew his gaze and glanced at Jiang Xuening, who had buried his head low, before walking in from outside the hall and passing by her. He stood in front of the main hall and said calmly, "No one is late, that's great. You don't need to be polite, let's all sit down."

Everyone stood up according to their words, only then did they dare to look at him.

Still dressed in a pale green Taoist robe, with a green hairpin tied around his hair, a wide robe with large sleeves, and his clothes still tinged with the slightly cold mist of late autumn and early winter outside, appearing detached and dustless, like a hermit in the mountains.

But he didn't come alone.

At this moment, four gentlemen selected by the Hanlin Academy are walking into the hall with him.

Three of them were old gentlemen who had previously been invigilating with Xie Wei during the Fengchen Hall academic examination, while the other was the first time they had met. He was in his forties, with a serious face and a serious smile. It is believed that he was later chosen to teach his subjects.

Jiang Xuening recognized the three in front at a glance.

After all, only a few days have passed.

She still remembers the perfunctory attitudes and words spoken by these three gentlemen during the school entrance examination that day.

At this moment, his eyebrows furrowed lightly.

Jiang Xuening remembered that she had said she would give these gentlemen a small report, but she hadn't had time yet.

Xie Weidao said, "Today is the first day. It is expected that Your Highness and the accompanying readers are not familiar with the gentlemen yet, and have not reviewed them in advance. Therefore, after discussing with several gentlemen, I have decided not to attend classes today, but to let everyone get to know them. Then, the gentlemen will each talk about what they will learn in the next six months and their respective requirements."

After speaking, he looked at the other four people.

These four gentlemen then came out to clarify their identities and the courses they would teach in the future.

The books needed for the accompanying reading in the palace have all been placed on their desks: a book called "The Book of Rites" was taught by Mr. Zhang Zhongzhang, the chief editor of the National History Museum; A book of the Book of Songs was taught by Mr. Zhao Yanchang, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy; A book called "Eighteen Classics" is calligraphy, taught by Mr. Wang Jiuwang, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, and it is said that he also teaches painting; A book called "Ten Classics of Arithmetic" is about mathematics, taught by Mr. Sun Shusun, a Ph.D. in mathematics from the National Academy of Sciences who only came today.

Four gentlemen, four books.

There seems to be no mistake.

But when Mr. Sun, who was teaching mathematics, finished speaking, everyone realized that it was not quite right: indeed, everyone had pre placed the books they needed on their desks, but there were only four books in total, all taught by the four gentlemen.

So

Where is Xie Wei?

Jiang Xuening was still pondering what medicine was sold in Xie Wei's gourd when Shen Zhiyi, sitting in front of her, curiously opened her mouth and said, "But Mr. Xie, these are only four books and four courses. Didn't you say that besides teaching us the piano, you also want to teach us one?"

Xie Wei said, "I teach 'literature'."

Shen Zhiyi wondered, "Don't you have any books?"

Xie Wei lifted his eyes and glanced outside the hall, saying, "Someone has already gone to retrieve it. It should be brought in a while."

Bring it?

What books are there in the palace? Shouldn't they have been prepared long ago? Why did someone bring them now?

===Kunning Section 59===

Everyone is a bit strange.

Without much explanation, Xie Wei sat aside and only listened to Zhang Zhong, the chief editor of the National History Museum who was teaching the Book of Rites, standing in the hall, citing classics and learning from history, and discussing the importance of academic studies with everyone.

Zhang Zhong is already in his prime, with gray hair on his temples. He is the same person who sat in the hall earlier and said that his daughter's family only needs to know a little about "The Women's Rings". Although he knows it for thousands of years, standing in the hall and talking is not interesting at all, rigid and boring.

Everyone was dizzy and dizzy when they heard it.

Although Jiang Xuening warned herself in her heart that Xie Wei was still beside her, she couldn't help but wander beyond the sky, her eyelids constantly fighting. Fortunately, he didn't bump his head against the desk before he woke up a bit. As soon as he looked up, he saw Xie Wei sitting over there, holding a cup of tea in his hand and staring at her intently.

At that moment, she almost fell to the ground in fear.

Some drowsy people flew to Java!

Jiang Xuening was completely awake, and suddenly remembered Xie Wei's words at the time, "Don't make me angry anymore." So she quietly held down her jumping eyelids and forced herself to listen attentively to Zhang Chong, the old monk, reciting sutras.

After half an hour's hard work, Zhang Chongcai said: "Because I learned history, today is the first lesson of the lecture accompanied by His Highness the Princess Royal Highness Princess and all of you. It is just for me to start the story and let you know how important this word" learning "is. It is the so-called" there is a golden house in books ", and it is also said that" every inch of time is an inch of gold ". There are not many opportunities to listen to the world's great scholars gathering to give lectures. You should cherish it. I hope to guard against arrogance and impatience in the future. Let's start with ugly words. If you bring your arrogant temperament when you were a girl in the mansion, I will never tolerate it

Jiang Xuening let out a deep sigh in her heart: Finally, it's over!

In her previous life, she didn't like to sit here and listen to lectures. It's not just that she wasn't motivated or eager to learn. It's really these old scholars who hold a complete airs and don't speak human language when talking about learning, regardless of whether they understand or are willing to listen, which makes people very impatient.

If it weren't for Xie Wei sitting here today, she might have lifted the table and left early.

And even more terrifying is

At present, it's only half an hour, but the days like purgatory will continue for another six months!

Jiang Xuening felt a bit hopeless.

Xiao Shu and Chen Shuyi sitting in front also frowned slightly.

Shen Zhiyi in the middle quietly covered her lips with her hand and yawned heavily after Zhang Zhong finished speaking.

On the contrary, the gentlemen remained calm, either sitting still and contemplating, or closing their eyes and recuperating, without realizing anything wrong with Zhang Zhong's words.

Only Xie Wei looked at the nine drowsy female students in the hall.

But before he could say anything, there were already hurried footsteps coming from outside the hall.

A young eunuch hurriedly ran in from outside, and on this cold day, a thin sweat broke out on his forehead. He held a stack of books in his arms and said to Xie Wei, "Master Xie, all the books you requested have been published. As you mentioned earlier, they have been bound and all ten volumes are here."

The other gentlemen all looked at him.

Shen Zhiyi and many accompanying readers sitting in the hall also looked at him.

Xie Wei picked up a book from the stack and flipped through a few pages, seemingly to confirm the printing and binding were correct. Then he waved his hand and asked the palace staff to distribute these books to everyone.

One person holds a book in their hand.

The most common blue book cover, without a single word on it, is slightly thicker than other books.

Jiang Xuening vaguely remembered that Xie Wei seemed to have published such a book in the previous life, but she had already slipped out when Zhang Zhong was so drowsy about it. Later on, she didn't listen carefully and didn't even open this book much.

So at this moment, a bit of curiosity arose——

What exactly is in a book prepared by Xie Wei for his lecture?

She took the book in her hand and opened it.

However, upon carefully reading the content of the book, my eyes suddenly widened in surprise——

"Wuyi", "Zheng Burke's Duan Yu Yan", "Goujian Destroys Wu", "Su Qin Talks about Qin through Lianheng", "Liuhou Lun", "Six Kingdoms Lun", "Public Transmission", "What I Want to Do with Fish", "Leisure Journey", "Strategy Attack", "Bianque Meets Cai Huan Gong", "Passing Qin Lun", "Sword Pavilion Inscription", "Ten Gradually Un Zhong Shu", "Chang'an Snow Watches the Moon"

Surprisingly, there is everything.

Some come from the "Book of Documents" and "Zuo Zhuan", some come from the "Guoyu" and "Strategies for the Warring States", some come from the "Mozi" and "Mencius", from the pre Qin period to the Han dynasty to the Wei and Jin dynasties, from political discourse to travelogues, all of which are excerpted, selected and compiled into one book!

Is this what Xie Wei is going to teach?

Jiang Xuening suddenly felt a hint of bitterness.

No wonder she can't keep up with Xiao Shu.

I want to thank Wei for his strategic planning and excellent intelligence. Reading this book, I know that his lectures are not fools. If I can concentrate on learning a bit, even if it's just superficial, I'm afraid he will benefit a lot.

In her previous life, Xiao Shu had listened attentively; And myself

For Jiang Xuening, who has been reborn and has read many books since her previous life, the content of this book can be considered shocking, and for other young ladies who have just emerged from the boudoir, it is naturally even more shocking.

Even Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened and she couldn't react for a long time.

Chen Shuyi has strict family education. Although she also reads and writes, she knows that some books and articles should not be read by her daughter's family, and her family never allows her to read them.

At this moment, as I flipped through the contents of the book, I couldn't help but furrow my brows,

She couldn't help but ask, "Is Mr. Xie going to teach these things?"

Xie Wei didn't look up and replied, "Not bad."

Chen Shuyi's fingers, as she flipped through the pages of the book, gradually tightened as she stood up and bowed to Xie Wei. She paused word by word, saying, "The world has come from a clear and orderly world, with yin and yang. Men stand outside, while women lead inside, with clear distinctions and no room for change. My father once said that political theory is something that only men should learn, and if my daughter's family is knowledgeable about the world, the way to apply it is a disorder of yin and yang, with the universe reversed, which goes against natural law.". "Shuyi, Mr. Jing, has the highest level of education in the world, but now he has compiled such a book to teach our daughter's family. Please forgive Shuyi for taking the liberty - would it be inappropriate for you to behave like this, sir?"

"..."

Xie Weiben was still flipping through the printing of the book in his hand. Upon hearing this, his finger rested on the line at the end of "On Passing Qin," which read, "The momentum of attack and defense is different without benevolence and righteousness." He remained motionless.

At this moment, he just looked up at Chen Shuyi.

With a faint smile, he said, "If you don't want to learn, you can go."

Everyone almost scared to death: What's the difference between this sentence and "love to learn, don't learn to get lost"?!

However, upon hearing this, Jiang Xuening was momentarily stunned, and then, as if she had seen light in the darkness, Xie Wei's previous sentence kept echoing in her mind: If you don't want to learn, you can leave.

Can we go?

She was momentarily excited and shook her hand, dropping the book to the ground.

"Pa da."

At this moment, the entire Fengchen Hall was quiet, to the point where the small sound was particularly piercing.

Xie Wei's gaze turned around and saw that it was Jiang Xuening. His gaze deepened a bit and he only asked, "Do Miss Jiang have any objections?"

Jiang Xuening was scared out of her wits.

The idea of "not learning from me" just popped up and immediately withdrew. She shook her head without hesitation to show her loyalty: "Mr. Xie selected the best and compiled this book with good intentions. We accompanied the head Royal Highness Princess to study. His Royal Highness was born with a dragon and a phoenix. It was unusual for a girl in a boudoir to compare with her. To say that 'etiquette is not appropriate' is really to treat people with your own, which is ridiculous!"

Xie Wei's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips as he looked at her.

Chen Shuyi's cold gaze in front almost immediately turned around and pinned it onto her!

Jiang Xuening's back was cold, only then did she realize it——

Damn it!

Strange Xie Wei is too scary. She didn't pay attention, and in addition to being a dog, she even spoke her heart out!

Later on, she had no recollection of what had happened. Although she seemed to sit there calmly, she cursed herself profusely in her heart. She only vaguely knew that Chen Shuyi eventually sat down and didn't say anything more.

After all, the opportunity for accompanying reading is not easy to come by.

Xie Wei's attitude was surprisingly not so kind, even if she was dissatisfied, she had to weigh it.

But at the third quarter of the Chenzheng reign, after the gentlemen had instructed them to study the Wen Shu and the qin tomorrow, Chen Shuyi was the first to leave the Fengchen Hall when they were released from school.

Xiao Shu and others couldn't help but worry about her and followed her out.

Jiang Xuening felt somewhat embarrassed and had to fall behind. However, as soon as she looked up, she saw Xie Wei walking down from the hall and stopping slightly as she passed by.

Her scalp was numb, and she had to chat up and say, "Mr. Xie."

When Xie Wei stood, he stood much higher than her.

At this moment, he lowered his gaze and stared at her, his thin lips parted with an inexplicable smile. With one hand gripping the book and the other behind him, he casually said to her, "I'm still quite well behaved today."
