Chapter 371 Xiao Xuanxuan's First Day of School (Three in One)(1/2)
When Mrs. Cheng heard Du Shaoqing's intention, she realized that it was for her daughter to go to school. How could this be wrong? She always wanted her daughter to be a quiet lady, but the master insisted on practicing martial arts.
However, seeing the master getting drunk today, although he made a mistake, he should have agreed. Mrs. Cheng agreed and would send her daughter to Hongwenguan to study tomorrow.
Du Shaoqing was in a good mood when he returned home. After this day, he not only found a master to help, but his daughter also agreed to go to study in the school. Life was so smooth.
Princess Changle looked at her husband's happy look and asked curiously: "How did your husband convince her daughter to go to school obediently? Now the little guy is ready to go, and he doesn't look like her previous personality at all."
Du Shaoqing said proudly: "It's very simple. Let her friends go to school first. Without anyone to play, she will naturally chase them to school. So I just went to Uncle Cheng's house and convinced his youngest daughter Cheng Ruyu to study too, killing two birds with one stone."
The princess opened her mouth wide and said in surprise: "Is it appropriate to bring two little guys who like to make trouble together? "
"It should... be appropriate!" Du Shaoqing said a little uncertain. After all, he had never heard of Hongwenguan teaching in different classes, and dozens of children were all taught by a great scholar.
"Hey, I suddenly asked her to move to the palace to go to school. I still feel a little reluctant to leave the child not around." The princess sighed.
Du Shaoqing stepped forward and grabbed his wife's hand and comforted her: "Other people's children are picked up and sent to school, but if our Xuanxuan is the same, I'm afraid my father-in-law and mother-in-law are not happy. Although the child is not here, am I back? Just spend more time with you."
The princess blushed and scolded, "Diet..."
Then he suddenly remembered something that he had been thinking about for a long time. He looked around carefully and saw that there were no one else. He whispered to Du Shaoqing: "Husband, the child is not at home, why don't we have another child? This time I want a boy, so I will never pass on the Du family's family. People will gossip."
Well... Du Shaoqing was stunned. Why did he talk about this all at once? Isn’t it a bit too sudden?
However, looking at his wife's appearance, Du Shaoqing knew her thoughts and could understand her pressure and mood. He nodded gently: "Okay, I feel wronged by my wife."
Worried? The princess thought to herself, do you need to be so polite when an old couple? This kind of thing doesn't seem to be wronged...
How could she know that Du Shaoqing said that she had been under pressure for so long and did not have a second child, but it was not a grievance for having a child.
The next morning, Du Shaoqing took his luggage and rode his tiger's daughter out toward the palace. The Hongwen Pavilion in the palace was a place where Emperor Li Erte approved 100,000 books to allow the children of meritorious people to study.
There were no female students elsewhere in the Tang Dynasty because men were superior to women, but great families paid attention to their daughters and were well-educated. Most families hired private school teachers to teach. Since its establishment, Hongwenguan has accepted princes and princesses of appropriate age. Xiao Xuanxuan's mother, Princess Changle, once studied here.
Xiao Xuanxuan was familiar with the palace. When Li Eryi heard that his son-in-law wanted to send his granddaughter to study here, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to give it to the queen to arrange a residence. He also praised his son-in-law for knowing his wishes and should have sent his granddaughter here long ago.
Outside the Hongwenguan, Xiao Xuanxuan finally met her good friend Cheng Ruyu whom she hadn't seen for many days. Although this girl is two years older than Xuanxuan, she is willing to recognize Xuanxuan as her elder sister because of Xiao Miaomiao. The two were particularly intimate after meeting.
"Ah, Sister Xuanxuan? My mother told me that you would come to school, but I didn't believe me. I didn't expect you to be released by your father?" Cheng Ruyu said in surprise.
The children spoke directly, just like Xiao Xuanxuan came out of the prison. What’s interesting is that Xiao Xuanxuan actually nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, I finally let it go.”
"Hehe, can we go to Chang'an City to beat the bad guys again?" Cheng Ruyu said excitedly.
Xiao Xuanxuan shook her head, "No, Dad said, I'm too young and I won't be allowed to fight. I have to go to school.
By the way, I'll ask you a question, tell me honestly."
"Yeah, please ask. Even if you ask my father where he can hide the wine, I will tell you." Cheng Ruyu said seriously with a heavy emphasis.
Xiao Xuanxuan thought to myself, I asked your father what he did when hiding wine? I don’t drink.
"I heard from my dad that you are good at studying in this school. No one can surpass you, is it true? Are the teachers here scary?"
"Ah? Is it so powerful? Is it really what your father said?" Cheng Ruyu's first reaction was actually very surprised, as if someone praised her how happy she was when she was praising her.
But then I was a little confused, "No, I, I haven't been to study."
My eldest brother said you are good at studying here, so I promised to come to study. I came on the first genius."
What???
After that, Du Shaoqing didn't expect that the two children would confess their confrontation when they met together, which was a bit muddy.
It happened that the two of them came late, and the teacher came over at this time, "You two are the new students Cheng Ruyu and Du Xuanxuan, right? Your Majesty has told me that class is about to begin. Go in and find a seat to sit down."
"Grandpa, who are you? Are you here to go to school? Are there any students of such an old age in this school?" Xiao Xuanxuan said curiously, thinking that if this is the case, it seems quite interesting. I have never seen a student of such an old age.
Even though this gentleman has experienced many vicissitudes, he was amused by this child. "No, I am Yan Shigu, but your teacher. Let's go. It's the first time you are here. I'm not familiar with this place. I'll take you in."
As he said that, he took the two children in one by one with no doubt. Xiao Xuanxuan stuck out her tongue. It turned out to be a teacher, and it seemed like she was a Taoist grandfather.
But it’s not right. The bad father actually lied to me. Should I go back on my word and not study here? Forget it, let’s take a look first. Xiao Xuanxuan had a psychological activity.
There were already a group of students waiting quietly in the Hongwen Pavilion. When they saw the Master bringing two little girls in, they were quite curious. Several of them changed their faces and shrank their necks.
"These are two new classmates, Cheng Ruyu and Du Xuanxuan. They are young, so don't bully them. The classmates should help and take care of each other.
You two little guys are just sitting here.”
Yan Shigu found a seat for the two children and walked to the front to prepare to start the lecture.
Who knew that Cheng Ruyu, who was looking around, suddenly stood up in surprise and shouted: "Haha, it turns out that the bad guy Li Shangdan is here too. Now Sister Xuanxuan and I will not be bored."
Looking along the little girl's finger, there was a boy about eleven or twelve years old sitting at the bottom of the school. He was leaning against the side with a look of loneliness. He was Li Shangdan, the grandson of Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County. It seemed that he had an old acquaintance with the two girls.
Everyone was startled by Cheng Ruyu's shout, except for Xiao Xuanxuan, who reached out to hold Cheng Ruyu, "Oh Ruyu, don't scare them away like this, okay?
I also saw that there were Li Jingren (Li Daozong's youngest son) and Pei Chengxian (Pei Ji's youngest grandson). I couldn't shout it out so early. When the get out of class was over, what should I do if I scare them away now?"
Everyone was amused by the words of these two new girls. People who didn't know listened to this naive conversation and thought it was two girls bragging. Master Yan Gu smiled and shook his head. The children just like to make trouble, but they caused some trouble during class.
But these boys who were recognized by the two women did not act the same, especially Pei Chengxian was so scared that he exclaimed: "No, I, I haven't taken anyone out to fight for a long time, please let me go."
Puff... What's going on? The older children in the class were stunned by this scene. Pei Chengxian is a thirteen-year-old child. Why are they begging for mercy directly? Are these two little girls a beast?
Cheng Ruyu pointed at the other party and shouted, "Hmm? What are you calling us?"
Pei Chengxian gave in without integrity and shouted repeatedly: "Sister Xuanxuan, Ruyu, I really won't go to fight anymore."
This was almost the same, Cheng Ruyu sat down again with a proud look.
Xiao Xuanxuan persuaded, “Oh, I said don’t scare them.
By the way, you three should sit down. We won’t fight today. We are here to study, so don’t be afraid.”
When the boss gave the promise, the three of them felt a little relieved, but just after they returned to their seats, Cheng Ruyu's words made them fall aside.
Cheng Ruyu said disdainfully: "I'm not afraid of them escaping, anyway, Xiao Miaomiao is guarding at the door."
God, is this a life-threatening person? We have turned from evil to study honestly, why are they still following us? The three of them are so sad.
Now everyone has seen the trick. It turns out that this little guy is the real leader?
What's the situation? Is the new generation of Chang'an now becoming so fast? I'm so overwhelmed by a little girl who is so arrogant that she can't hold her head up?
All of us were playboys back then. We didn't understand this scene deeply. We thought to myself that even the royal princess didn't seem to have the ability.
Yan Shigu, who was in the lead, smiled freely and did not care much about the play between the children. He knocked on the table and said loudly: "Okay, class is started, and we will take out the textbook "The Analects of Confucius".
There are also newcomers who are not allowed to make loud noises in class, which disrupts classroom discipline and will hit the palm of their hands."
The old man has been a husband for many years and is very good at students. He glanced at Cheng Ruyu. The little girl was so scared that she shrank her neck. She stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to make trouble anymore. She sat side by side with Xiao Xuanxuan.
Xiao Xuanxuan was even more conscious and had developed a good habit of attending classes with Xue Dingshan and Xie Ke every day. When Yan Shigu saw this scene, he secretly praised it, thinking that Du Fu Ma’s children were different from Duke Cheng’s children.
But by the time the old man was halfway through the class, the situation changed again.
Because Cheng Ruyu had only studied martial arts but not literary, and could not read or write, he needed to start from the basics. Now Yan Shigu has already started to choose a few of the sentences to explain, so it sounds a bit boring, but for Cheng Ruyu, he just can't understand it.
Cheng Ruyu, who was gradually bored, whispered to Xiao Xuanxuan next to him: "Sister Xuanxuan, can you understand what sir said?"
After a moment, no one answered. Cheng Ruyu turned her head and saw, Wow, Sister Xuanxuan is so amazing, she is listening to the class with her eyes closed.
Due to curiosity, Cheng Ruyu gently pushed Xiao Xuanxuan, and Xiao Xuanxuan fell directly to the side, and then suddenly woke up. Cheng Ruyu realized that God, it turned out that he was asleep.
The movement of the two girls once again broke the order of the classroom, and Yan Shigu stopped again.
After not stopping, Xiao Xuanxuan actually stretched her waist when she woke up, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong? The get out of class is over? Then let's go, this Hongwenguan has no meaning at all. Tell my grandfather that I won't come."
The children burst into laughter. This young girl was so angry. Mr. Yan Shigu is a well-known scholar. Do you dare to say that his class is boring? I'm afraid that you didn't understand it and fell asleep.
Cheng Ruyu was even more bizarre, and he echoed around, "That's right, I don't know what the teacher said, I didn't understand anyway.
But we can come here every day to take Xiao Miaomiao to deal with those bad guys. This must be very interesting. I didn’t have the chance to see them every day when I was in Chang'an City.”
Puff... those three boys really wanted to vomit blood and fell into a coma, and they complained in their hearts, "My aunt, can you say, "Is it okay for your elder sister?" Can you forget us?"
Yan Shigu originally wanted to severely criticize these two new children. They didn’t look like they were in class. What do you think?
But when he heard Cheng Ruyu's words, the old man realized that he had neglected that his two children were still young and they could not understand what they said.
After knocking on the table, Master Yan said with a stern face: "Okay, you two are new here, and you can't understand today's course, and you are negligent.
Let’s sit there and rest for a while. Don’t disturb others. I will tell you classmates about your studies today, and then teach you how to read a thousand-character text."
This sentence was originally kind, but Cheng Ruyu had already sat down as he said and was ready to sleep on the table. Who would have thought that Xiao Xuanxuan was unhappy when she heard it?
He curled his lips and said disgusted: "Grandpa is really good at bragging. People who are talking about you have long been memorizing it. What are you not understanding? Are you lying to the children?"
Well??? Yan Shigu was slightly surprised, I heard that right?
The children who heard him laughed, "Where did this little girl come from? Not only is she wearing a domineering look down on me, but why doesn't she even take the teacher seriously?" It's too awesome.
"Children are so playful. It's okay to sleep in class. It's the first time I miss you, but it's wrong to lie.
And after entering this school, you should call me a husband or a teacher. Grandpa can’t call me anymore. Do you remember?" Yan Shigu said to Xiao Xuanxuan.
"Grandpa, oh, sir, I haven't lie. It's wrong for Dad to teach lying (although Dad lied to me this time), so I never lie. I'll recite this book "The Analects of Confucius" long ago." Xiao Xuanxuan raised the book in her hand.
Yan Shigu said in surprise: "You can recite the Analects of Confucius?"
At this time, an older child stood up and said dissatisfiedly: "Little girl, where did you come from? This is the class of Master Yan, how could you brag about it?"
Xiao Xuanxuan was dissatisfied when she heard this, and stood up and said dissatisfiedly: "Who is bragging? Who are you? Why do you say that to me?"
