『Is this Chang'an?』
『This is Chang'an...』
These same words, perhaps different tones, are spoken by different people almost in these days.
In the Han Dynasty, many people never left the village within a radius of ten miles in their entire lives. The farthest distance was probably to go to the market in the county to buy something. Even the children of the gentry were not allowed to go on a study tour. Therefore, these people who were brought to Chang'an in various ways were basically the first time they saw Chang'an.
That's right, not only Kong Rong's two children were taken to Chang'an, but also some other people, including Xun You's relatives.
For those who are not in Shandong's "blacklist" and are not strictly regulated on weekdays, it is actually not difficult to pick it up. After all, you can follow the caravans. It is difficult for those who walk on mountain roads and bypass Tongguan and take the Hedong route. It is indeed difficult to walk. Fortunately, there are many caravans coming to Chang'an to do trade in Shandong, and there are also some smuggling routes...
After all, the eight paths of Taihang are called eight paths, but in many places in China, the values ​​are a virtual finger. If you really want to calculate strictly, you can find the medicinal roads that can be passed on Taihang Mountain or the small paths of sheep intestines.
After these people arrived in Chang'an, they were quickly resettled one after another.
Most of them were arranged in Zuo Fengyi, and a small number of them migrated to the Hedong area.
Although these places are relatively colder than those in Shandong, they are somewhat more spacious and have a higher quality of life. After all, living a life every day is not something that makes people feel happy for anyone.
Fei Zhen doesn't care much about these things, what he cares more about is the increasing homework.
As the prince of the General of the Cavalry, as he grew older, his requirements for him naturally increased, and the responsibilities on his shoulders seemed to be getting heavier, which forced him to appear more calm, imitate his father as much as possible, think about some problems, and then deal with some things.
Perhaps for most children in later generations, like Fei Zhen, there should be many children who are still shouting that their parents don’t understand me, don’t love me, and don’t care about me. Then they think that friends are the best and understand themselves the most. They would rather have a breakup with their parents than break off their friendship with friends.
But for Fei Zhen, he has no friends.
It’s not that Fei Zhen rejects some friends to play, but because once he travels, he will inevitably have a large number of guards, and most of his friends will be very boring, either shrinking or flattering...
Even if he secretly ran out to find the children in the market to play with in the market, it was OK at the beginning, but it was a little embarrassed later because the children in the market couldn't understand what he said at all. And to be honest, what can most of the children in the market play?
Pulling urine and mud, picking up stones and throwing stones, waving bamboo to pretend to fight, etc.
It's okay once or twice, but do you urinate and mud every day...
well!
Is Fei Zhen’s requirements too high?
It was not until this time that Fei Zhen realized that the class his father mentioned was like a staircase structure, which was real. He could not play with those ordinary children in the market.
He read scriptures and knew arithmetic, but those children in the market couldn't even figure out their fingers. Although understanding these would make him unique among those children, those children in the market would soon avoid him and stay away from him because they knew too much, or under the advice of their parents, they would become submissive followers.
It is true that the extremely wealthy environment can actually develop certain personalities that are not very popular, but Fei Zhen is quite good in this regard. He does not have many requirements for these people, but he does not like them very much as he is now.
After all, Fei Zhen has always had expectations for the future.
His father is doing so well now, will he do better in the future?
Sometimes when he looks forward to it, he will feel a little excited, but he is still confused about how to do it, but no one can share or discuss these longings and confusions.
Since childhood, Fei Zhen’s most important teacher is naturally his parents.
There are also many big bosses who imparted knowledge to him in other academies, but for Fei Zhen, the most important thing is still his parents. Especially his father, Fei Qian, has a great influence on him.
Since childhood, Fei Qian has not said that he had asked him how many scriptures he had read or how many words he had to memorize, but he asked the most questions, and sometimes he didn't know how to answer...
This is indeed very painful.
But Fei Zhen also understood that this was for the future, for himself, for the Fei family, for the future of people on Guanzhong, and even for the broader land. Therefore, as the prince of the General of the Cavalry, he was not qualified to be too relaxed. How big the world is, it can be seen in the Cavalry Office. In the Cavalry Hall, all officials who come to discuss matters will look at them if they have anything to do.
According to his father's words, he realized his insignificance after watching it.
Of course, his father secretly told him that the big man is like a human being, and he needs a friend and an opponent.
Those who come to trade are considered friends, and those who have war are considered opponents.
Fei Zhen has been influenced by her since childhood and has also known these things.
Worried about the current situation in the world, I always feel that I have to do something and learn something, at least I can't just use urine and mud like those children in the market?
Other people have a large family, and then there will be children of similar age. There are a lot of cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins. When it comes to sacrificial sacrifices, outings, etc., it is a lot of noisy. However, Fei was originally a small gentry and was still a side-sect, and even if the children of Huang were included...
Well, let’s forget about the Huang family’s children.
Some are very similar to Uncle Huang Cheng. They either hold a knife or dance gun all day long, indicating that they will protect Fei Zhen in the future, kill enemies on the battlefield, and open up territory. The other part is like his mother, thinking about this and that all day long, and talking about reading means a headache.
Even his father, as a cavalry, still reads books when he has time. Therefore, Fei Zhen was helpless and couldn't talk to Huang's children.
As for Ponzi, most of the children were in Wancheng and did not come.
Children in Chang'an are usually ordinary officials. When they see him, they are like mice and cats. At first, Fei Zhen will find it fun, but over time, she will feel nothing. So Fei Zhen gradually becomes unable to get along with other children, and she will lose friends more and more, no matter whether it is real, fake, or temporary.
Sometimes Fei Zhen would think that without friends, there would be no friends. Perhaps it was the price he had to pay to grow up, but he also envied his father because his father had friends, such as Pang Tong, Zao Zhi, like the one who didn't come often and didn't know how to speak, but sometimes he would carry some wood chips and iron filings on his hands, but often made him some small toys.
Well, another one said that he is big and thick, and looks like a military general than a literati uncle...
These are all friends who my father Fei Qian studied together back then.
Therefore, Fei Zhen actually thought about whether she could have such friends. She didn't need too many. She just had three or five like his father. Then she discussed it together when she had something to do and drank together when she had nothing to do. Then she would bring some food and fun to the next generation of children like his father's friends, and then teach them to ride horses, read, and even identify ores.
Fei Zhen originally thought that this wish might be difficult to realize, but he unexpectedly got a new news from his mother that some children from Shandong would come to Chang'an, with the older ones and younger ones. Some of these children had relatives in Chang'an, while others were orphans. It was okay if they had relatives and friends in Chang'an, but they would generally stay at the homes of relatives and friends. In addition, the children of the gentry in this era still had to maintain the surface, so there should be no big problem in a short period of time. If there were any problems for a long time, Fei Qian would send someone to deal with it and solve it.
And those children who have no parents in Chang'an are not easy to send them directly to the Sales Department.
Children in the Sales Bureau are generally not old, and they basically don’t learn any scriptures in the Sales Bureau, but teach more handicrafts or other skills. Some of them will be taken away by local businesses or workshops. As apprentices, they mainly make a living.
The target groups are different, so Fei Qian and Huang Yueying discussed that those children of the gentry who had no relatives in Chang'an set up a kindergarten school, which was affiliated with the Chang'an Academy, specifically used to gather these children, and also allowed other children of appropriate age in Chang'an to enter school...
That's right, it's similar to the elementary school in later generations.
At the moment, there were no professional primary schools. Most of the academy were young children, basically at least teenagers. Children's enlightenment was usually taught by their own parents, or they were invited to attend the present.
As we all know, among the feudal dynasties, there were some large families who set up private schools to enlighten children in the clan. However, the establishment of private schools was the time when the feudal dynasty in China was the last. In the Han Dynasty, generally speaking, there were only rural schools in various places, and some elders were appointed by the government to preside over it. After all, the imperial examination system was not completely determined, so how could a private school specializing in reading scriptures?
Therefore, the kindergarten school recommended by Fei Qian to set up specifically for children under the age of fourteen is also the first family to create the world in the Han Dynasty.
Fei Zhen, and other children from the Chinese gentry, would naturally go to this kindergarten.
Fei Zhen did not realize the profound meaning of his father making such a kindergarten school at the first time. He just felt that this would make him have the opportunity to meet some new friends?
This made him very happy, and he heard that his Meiling Village house had two children who were preparing to enroll in school...
Fei Zhen couldn't sit still and brought some people to Meiling.
Meiling is a small mountain north of Maoling. The mountain is gentle and the highest point is less than 30 feet long. The reason why it is called Meiling is of course because there are many plum blossoms here.
Although it was a little earlier than the time when the plum blossoms bloomed, there were already some early buds that showed some smiling faces.
The plum blossoms of the Han Dynasty bloomed in winter. Because the current climate of the Han Dynasty is still relatively warm, in later generations, many plum blossoms did not bloom in the cold winter, but only bloomed in early spring in February and March.
If there is no human intervention or cultivation, the plum blossoms in the wild have not changed much, but the climate has changed. Just like Meiling has not changed much, only the people who come here have changed.
There is a small manor in Meiling. Among this manor, some new residents have come now.
Fei Zhen came with people in high spirits, and got off the horse and went straight into the manor.
After walking a few steps, a crisp sound sounded, "The Tao is hidden without trace, simple without name, and cannot be obtained. As the saying goes, the way of heaven and earth is vast and vast, and I don't know what to do. The best is like water, from the vastness and valley, and the river flows through the rivers and seas, which are all what this is called. Under the rule of the cavalry, this way should be said to be what the people call natural."
Fei Zhen suddenly became interested.
Ha, Tao Te Ching?
He stretched his head and saw two children reading books in the manor, talking to a smaller girl.
The two children also saw Fei Zhen walking in and were slightly stunned.
Fei Zhen coughed and walked forward as if she was an adult, "Are you two reading morality?"
Recently, due to the influence of the Chang'an Buddhist scriptures, many people have begun to read the Tao Te Ching again. It is said that in the bookstore, whether it is printed or hand-written, it seems that they are selling well, almost out of stock...
It is almost out of stock, but some of them appear at noon every day, which will cause snatching the audience. These books may not need to be used to do anything with the Tao Te Ching, but because I saw everyone grabbing, even if I clearly had it on hand, I still joined in the fun and snatch it. It seemed that if I got it, I could take a lot of advantage. I didn’t know that the merchant was smiling so hard that he couldn’t stand up.
Fei Zhen laughed and walked on her own, saying, "I just heard a high theory outside, and it was really exquisite, but... this high theory is what you two have obtained, not what others say?"
Fei Zhen said this because in fact, he has always heard a lot of flattery words from the surrounding areas.
It is already very perfunctory to say that Fei Zhen is right.
If the average person is more complimented, or if he finds out what Fei Zhen likes, he will deliberately send it to Fei Zhen.
As for the higher ones, they are on the surface, or on the basis of advice, but in fact they are also praise...
At the beginning, Fei Zhen was a little awkward and a little uncomfortable, but after a long time, Fei Zhen also knew that these people were flattering, and on the other hand, she gradually began to get used to it.
After getting used to it, some things seem to be taken for granted.
It was like Fei Zhen came for granted uninvited.
When Fei Zhen heard that his father arranged two children to live in this manor, he came curiously. Because the manor was originally Fei's property, Fei Zhen did not realize that his appearance was a "guest" or a "bad guest" to some extent for the two children.
The older children were a little clumsy, so they were silent and didn't speak, but the younger girls said without hesitation: "The noble man came uninvited. Do you think that we were waiting for the two of them, and they were slightly bullied, and deliberately despised us. Or is it because the noble man was born with such a temperament and had no idea of ​​his opinion?"
Fei Zhen couldn't help but suffocate.
From Fei Zhen's standpoint, he felt that there was no problem with him coming in like this.
This kind of cognitive error is actually easy to understand. It is like the landlord in later generations who did not say hello, took out the key or pressed his fingerprint to open the rental house that had been rented to others, and took someone to see the house. He thought that since it was his own house, he would come in and want to enter. There was no problem at all, but in fact, such actions were not so righteous, and it might even violate the law.
The man did not have such detailed regulations on such matters at present, but Fei Zhen's behavior seemed somewhat rude in front of Kong Rong's two children.
For Kong Rong's two children, they finally settled in Chang'an and just sat in the hall to study, but someone came uninvited without reporting...
『This…』 Fei Zhen frowned. Perhaps he realized some problems, but he didn't like to apologize, or felt that he didn't need to apologize in front of people of his age or even younger than him. So he turned his eyes and pointed to the surroundings and said, "This manor is mine!"
Fei Zhen originally thought that as soon as he said this, these two people should know his identity. When they knew his identity, of course they had to bow their heads obediently and even apologize to him. But what Fei Zhen did not expect was that the little girl said crisply: "This manor was given to me and my brother by the General of the Cavalry! Even if you are the son of the Cavalry, you must know the way of the host and the guest! You have a noble status and should be more reasonable, otherwise wouldn't you weaken the reputation of the Cavalry?"
