Chapter 495 Zhu Yijun and Junior Brother
"Yan Wuyou!"
"Run!"
"Here comes General Chicken!"
"Run away..."
Changping Academy.
In the square at the entrance, a shadow of a child of three or four years old flashed by with his legs swinging.
He came to a much shorter child who was staggering, grabbed the child and tried to escape into the academy.
Behind the two children.
A large, colorful rooster was spreading its wings, holding its head high, and flying forward with its two powerful claws tightly gripping the ground.
Zhu Yijun and Yan Wuyou's faces turned pale with fright.
Continuously screaming, making terrifying sounds.
But General Ji obviously would not let them go, and he killed them all the way.
It seemed as if the intention was to let the two children experience being pecked in childhood again, so that they would have something to talk about when they grew up.
One is a child who has not yet entered school, and the other is a toddler who is still babbling.
Faced with the aggressive General Chicken, he was suddenly at a loss and couldn't escape.
Yan Wuyou fell to the ground with his feet tripped, and Zhu Yijun, who was dragging him, also fell to the ground out of exhaustion.
The gate of the academy was right in front of them, but General Ji had already rushed over.
"what!"
The two children covered their eyes with their hands and opened their mouths to scream in fear.
"Well..."
"Giggle..."
The children who covered their eyes did not feel the pain of being pecked by General Rooster. Instead, they heard the crowing of the rooster and the wind blown by its flapping wings.
Zhu Yijun was so terrified that he didn't wait for General Chicken's attack. He carefully opened his hands and saw that General Chicken had been captured by a big hand.
Yan Wuyou, who was beside him, looked at the owner of the big hand with fear and excitement.
"Uncle..."
At this time, a woman's voice was heard from behind the academy.
It was the current head of the Yan family, Lu Wenyan, who was appointed by the imperial court.
Lu Wenyan got up early today and went to various factories to inspect the industries. She took Yunniang and other accountants to prepare for next year's production plan.
When I finished my work and returned to the villa, I found that my son was missing!
Needless to say.
My son must have been abducted by the prince of Prince Yu’s mansion.
After finally finding her way outside, she heard two children screaming outside, which scared Lu Wenyan so much that her heart was beating fast.
Rushed out of the academy.
Lu Wenyan opened her arms and held the two children under her armpits, then looked up at the big rooster held in her brother's hands.
In an instant, she understood what was going on.
Lu Wenyan looked at Lu Yi who came over and said, "Send it to the kitchen. We'll stew chicken in an iron pot tonight!"
Lu Yi nodded with a smile. Now that he was married and his wife was pregnant, his temperament became more stable.
He stood aside holding the chicken, silently watching the scene of his sister training his son.
When Zhu Yijun heard that his Chicken General was going to be stewed, he quickly lay back and looked up at Lu Wenyan: "Master's wife... that's Chicken General..."
His face is now full of reluctance.
On the one hand, he was afraid that the general chicken would peck him, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to let the general chicken be stewed.
On the other side, Yan Wuyou also imitated Zhu Yijun and looked up at his mother: "Mother...chicken...chicken...General!"
"General, you idiot general!"
"Now that he can walk, he disappears all day long!"
Although Lu Wenyan is the master's wife, she cannot treat him as she pleases.
But for my son...
Lu Wenyan had already let go of Zhu Yijun, grabbed her son's face with both hands, and then turned him over.
Bang bang bang.
He slapped his son's butt hard several times.
Fortunately, it is autumn now.
Yan Wuyou, who held the third rank of official and received a salary from the imperial court, no longer wore open-crotch pants but changed into cotton pants that covered the buttocks.
After being slapped on the butt by my mother a few times, Yan Wuyou, a third-rank official, was laughing happily, and his two legs were even bouncing more happily.
Seeing that her son was not afraid of her at all, Lu Wenyan became more and more angry.
Release your son.
Lu Wenyan could only look at her brother angrily: "Hurry up and take it to the kitchen to chop up this chicken!"
Lu Yi trembled all over and quickly ran away with the chicken.
Zhu Yijun's face suddenly darkened, it was obvious that his master's wife was angry, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Lu Wenyan looked at her son.
"Wait until your father comes back, and see if your mother will let him teach you a lesson and give you a beating on the butt!"
Yan Wuyou, however, continued to smile without showing any fear.
He even stuck out his tongue, then turned sideways, stuck his butt towards me, and then started clapping with his chubby little hands.
Yan Wuyou said in a babyish voice: "Beat me...beat me to death..."
Seeing her own son so adorable, Lu Wenyan finally burst into laughter. She reached out and picked up her son, then took out a handkerchief and wiped his face. "Mom can't control you anymore. When your dad comes back, you'll be in trouble!"
Say it.
Lu Gaoming walked up to Zhu Yijun again and held the child's hand.
"The prince is currently busy with the affairs of the academy, as well as the mission of the Imperial Academy to examine the achievements of the people in the country, so he can't take care of you. But we are all from the Changping Academy, and your ability to read and write, and to govern the world, must not be worse than others."
Zhu Yijun was much more obedient in front of adults than his junior fellow apprentice.
He broke free from his master's wife's hand, stepped aside, and bowed like an adult.
"Master's wife, I understand your teachings. I will study hard and learn skills."
Seeing that the prince was so polite, Lu Wenyan smiled even more and took the hand of the prince's disciple again.
"Your fathers are all capable and have devoted their lives to our Ming Dynasty. When they grow old, the world will depend on you. Your teacher used to say that it is difficult to find a wise ruler. An emperor alone cannot defeat the civil and military officials and the people of the world, but a wise ruler must understand the affairs of the world and cannot be deceived by these people. Only in this way can he select virtuous people and govern the country well."
Zhu Yijun nodded: "It's saved by the students."
After saying this, he looked up at his junior fellow apprentice who was held in the arms of his master's wife.
Lu Wenyan took a look and put her son down, handing him over to Zhu Yijun to hold.
Zhu Yijun held Yan Wuyou's hand and looked up at his master's wife.
"When Wuyou grows up, I will let him be my helper!"
Lu Wenyan's heart moved, but she didn't say anything, just smiled.
However, the great official Yan Wuyou, who was already a third-rank official, still tilted his head, pouted his lips and frowned: "Chicken! General Chicken... The chicken is gone..."
Seeing that her son was still entangled in the matter of the big rooster, Lu Wenyan could only sigh silently. The three of them entered the academy, walked through the hall and the alley, and then arrived at the back of the academy.
Now that the academy has been expanded, the original building has gradually become an office and residence for the academy's teachers and clerks, and there are not many students who can attend classes here.
Enter the academy.
Lu Yi had already sent the chicken to the kitchen and stood behind Yan Song.
Today, Yan Song and three other old men did not play mahjong. Instead, they led a group of people to move the books out of the library and were drying them in the yard.
By the way, I also listened to the teachers in the academy discussing some classics, history, and articles by sages. The old men would interject from time to time and give guidance to the younger generations.
Lu Yi looked at the students drying books in the hot sun in the academy, and whispered behind Yan Song: "The Left Assistant Minister has recently started to investigate Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong. Many people have been arrested because of their contacts with the various supervisory offices in the inner court. Many gentry from all over the country have also been brought to the capital and imprisoned."
Yan Song lowered his head and spread out a Tang edition of Gongyang Zhuan in his hand, facing the sun.
He said casually, "I know."
Lu Yi added: "The cabinet has already drafted the new policy, which involves various matters such as administration, talent selection, appointment of officials, weapons, armaments, border defense, finance and taxation, population, and royal family. Each department has been ordered to discuss and submit memorials for each item, sort out the important matters and compile them. At noon today, after the cabinet has drafted it, it will be submitted to the Wanshou Palace in the Western Garden."
This incident made Yan Song a little curious.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"What did your Majesty say?"
Lu Yi smiled and replied: "His Majesty nodded his approval after reading it once, and asked Gao Gong to prepare for the new policy from today. According to the plan of the cabinet and the court, preparations should start now, and after the New Year, everything will be basically settled, and then it can be implemented directly."
Yan Song asked again: "The fire in Yuxi Palace..."
Lu Yi hurriedly whispered, "In addition to asking Yuan Wei and Zuo Shilang to supervise this matter, the emperor also secretly asked people from the East Factory to keep an eye on it. However, it is not clear whether the emperor will make a fuss about this matter."
"I have served the emperor for decades. I could see everything clearly back then. But now, I am probably really old and can no longer see what the emperor is thinking..."
Yan Song couldn't help but sigh as he listened to Lu Yi's explanation.
He really couldn't understand what the emperor was going to do.
Judging from the emperor's behavior in the recent period, the fire in Yuxi Palace should have been an opportunity for him to vent his anger and use the situation to investigate and punish a number of officials, and to remove a number of officials in the court and local governments who opposed the new policy.
But now only Yuan Wei and Yan Shifan were asked to supervise the matter, while the inner court was still undecided.
This made him confused.
Lu Yi whispered: "Perhaps, the emperor is waiting for my brother-in-law to come back?"
When Yan Song heard Lu Yi mention his eldest grandson, a smile appeared on his face.
But he did not mention this matter, but changed the subject and said: "Zhao Zhenji has returned to the capital. Has he completed his mission now?"
Lu Yi nodded, "Mr. Zhao has assigned many tasks since he returned to the capital. He just went to Wenyuan Pavilion yesterday to report for duty. Gao Gong has also handed over the finance, taxation and population issues of the new policy to Mr. Zhao, asking him to handle the Ministry of Revenue as well."
Yan Song fell silent, but his eyes kept flickering, indicating that he was thinking about something.
Lu Yi was not impatient and just waited quietly behind the old master.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The clear and crisp cry of "Grandpa" from Master Wuyou woke Yan Song up.
He saw his precious great-grandson running towards him with his arms open.
Yan Song immediately smiled, stood up and squatted down again, opening his arms and hugging his precious great-grandson who rushed to his arms.
Mr. Wuyou was held in Zuzu's arms, and he happily stretched out his claws to grab Zuzu's beard.
Yan Song was not annoyed at all, but laughed happily along with them.
"Little Wuyou wasn't naughty today?"
Yan Wuyou shook his head, but turned back to look at his mother with extreme caution.
Lu Wenyan walked over with a gloomy face and saw her son grabbing the old man's beard unscrupulously. She wanted to reach out to stop him, but thinking of the old man's endless love, or even doting on his son, she could only think about it.
This end.
Zhu Yijun also came over and bowed respectfully, "Grand Master."
Yan Song pinched his precious great-grandson's face, put him on the ground, and bowed in return: "Prince."
Zhu Yijun stepped forward, and the little boy raised his hand high to hold the old Grand Tutor's arm: "My father said that the Grand Tutor is an elder, and an old minister that Grandpa Huang trusts very much. I cannot accept the Grand Tutor's courtesy."
This child is really sensible.
Yan Song coughed twice and patted Zhu Yijun's head: "The prince is the king, and the old minister is the minister. There is a difference between the king and the minister, not based on age."
Zhu Yijun nodded, not quite understanding.
He had great respect for the old man in front of him.
After all, every time the old master won money playing mahjong, he would secretly give him a handful of copper coins, and then he could take his junior brother to the food street to buy delicious food.
Zhu Yijun felt that it would be even better if his royal grandfather could be like this.
You can buy more things yourself.
He whispered, "Can I take Wuyou to the Institute of Technology to play? I heard that they have made a lot of fun things recently, and there is also a thing that can fly into the sky. I want to go and see it..."
Although he was young, Zhu Yijun could see clearly that in Changping, the old Grand Tutor's words were the most effective.
Even though my junior fellow apprentice 'accidentally' blew up the cowshed outside a few days ago, causing hundreds of people to go out in the middle of the night to look for cows, the matter was suppressed by the old master, and neither my junior fellow apprentice nor I was punished.
Yan Song laughed loudly and put his hands on the two children's heads: "Go, go, be careful, don't get hurt."
After receiving the approval, Zhu Yijun immediately cheered.
Yan Wuyou also started to babble.
Lu Wenyan looked helpless.
After cheering, Zhu Yijun did not forget to bow to the old Grand Tutor again, and then left with his junior brother Yan Wuyou.
Wait until the child leaves.
Lu Wenyan then stepped forward and brought a cup of tea to the old man: "Just spoil them. I'm afraid they will become more and more fearless. I don't know how much trouble they will cause."
Yan Song enjoyed the tea brought by his granddaughter-in-law very much. After taking a sip, he felt it tasted better than those tributes.
He nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Wen Yan is right, old man, just be careful in the future."
Lu Wenyan could only curl her lips at the old man's misleading words.
Yan Song said, "The end of the year is approaching, and it's time to make new clothes. We should ask the textile factory to make a few sets for everyone at home. It's a good omen and a good meaning."
Hear this.
Lu Wenyan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes...my husband is coming back?"
Now, almost all the things at home are handled by me. Not to mention the trivial matter of making new clothes for the New Year, I have already arranged it. In addition to new clothes for men, women, old and young in my family, the Prince Yu's Mansion also needs to make new clothes. In addition, people who are close to the Yan family, such as Hu Zongxian in Beijing, Xu Wei, Zhou Yunyi, and Xiao Junpeng, also need to make a set of new clothes.
Even Yan Shaoting's students who are still working in Beijing have a set.
This is basically a rule that was established a few years ago.
Now that the old man suddenly mentioned this matter, there must be a deep meaning behind it.
Yan Song did not answer, but just looked at his granddaughter-in-law with a smile.
Lu Wenyan understood everything clearly. She cheered, saluted the old man and the other three old men not far away, and ran out.
Not long after.
The news spread outside.
The young lady gave out rewards today, and everyone from top to bottom received a red envelope.
then.
Because the young lady was happy, the whole Changping also cheered and rejoiced.
