Military advisor Xie Chong, who was standing behind Zhou Chen, reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you teach like this, the Tao family will be in trouble."
But Zhou Chen said indifferently: "Now that we have come to Xizhou, the Tao family has no control over it. Everything in the palace will be according to my rules."
Having said this, others naturally had no objections, and Zhou Tianxing and other disciples also laughed happily.
In fact, they were also very confused by the rules like this from Shiyi, because they had never had such rules and etiquette before. The little junior sister did this, which made them seem to have no etiquette, although they all felt sorry for this little junior sister who couldn't speak.
I feel sorry for him, but still a little depressed.
Now that Zhou Chen said this, they were completely relieved. They were all in the military, but they couldn't do the etiquette like the Tao family.
"Eleven, after lunch, come to the study to find me."
Jian Shiyi couldn't speak, but still nodded happily, and then left with Cheng Xi.
Xie Chong frowned when he saw Zhou Chen staring at Nao Shiyi who was leaving, and asked in a low voice: "Is Your Highness worried about Miss Nao's aphasia?"
"Um."
"The Prince is the head of a distinguished family. Miss Yang's aphasia must have been cured by many famous doctors, but none of them could be cured. I think Miss Yang's aphasia may be caused by a heart disease."
"I understand that heart ailments can only be cured by heart medicine, so take your time."
Zhou Chen herself is a top doctor. Even if she doesn't know the plot, she can still see the timing problem. She was so shocked because she suddenly lost her father.
If you want to cure her, you need heart medicine, which also requires time. If you lose a loved one, then give her support and she will recover sooner or later.
In the afternoon, Shi Yi came to the study to find Zhou Chen very obediently. Zhou Chen waved his hand and asked Cheng Xi to go out, leaving only Shi Yi.
"Eleven, although I nominally have ten disciples, I don't have much teaching experience before you. Your senior brothers and sisters are different from you. They all learn the art of killing and warfare in the army, so you
You can be regarded as my first apprentice in the true sense. If you want to learn anything, you can tell me directly. If I can, I will try my best to teach you."
Shi Yi had a confused look on her face. In her mind, to learn from the master, she would naturally learn whatever the master taught her. Let her speak for herself. She really didn't know how to say it.
So she made gestures to show that she was listening to Master.
Zhou Chen, of course, understands sign language, and said with a smile: "Don't be formal. What I am best at is naturally martial arts and the art of war, but you definitely don't want to learn these, such as chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and articles, the study of saints, etc., I
I understand a little bit, so just tell me what you want to say."
Shi Yi lightly frowned, thought about it seriously, and replied in sign language: "Playing chess, calligraphy, and painting are all fine."
"Okay, let's start with chess, calligraphy and painting. To learn the piano, you have to go to the piano room. This is my study. So let's start with chess today."
Naturally, Go exists in this world, and it is developing very well. Even ordinary people know about Go, and it is even more popular among famous families.
As the daughter of the Miao family, Shi Yi is certainly no stranger to Go, and her level is even quite good.
When she heard that Zhou Chen wanted to teach her how to play chess, she immediately smiled happily, then took the initiative to bring the chess board and chess pieces, sat opposite Zhou Chen, and started to learn chess.
The game of Go during this period was different from that of later generations, but Zhou Chen had already mastered it, so it was not a problem to teach him the right time.
There was a diligent, studious, smart and lovely student. The teaching time passed very quickly, and the afternoon passed quickly.
Zhou Chen put away the chess pieces and said, "Okay, let's stop here today. Come to me again tomorrow morning and I will teach you how to write."
Although Shi Yi had learned to write, she still nodded happily. She liked to sit with Zhou Chen and listen to Zhou Chen's teachings.
She really learned a lot from the chess game this afternoon. The master's chess style is changeable, and she is no match for her. The master's patient teaching and explanation made her study very seriously.
After giving a slight bow, Shi Yi left Zhou Chen's study with his maid Cheng Xi.
After Zhou Chen had dinner, military advisor Xie Chong happily came to see him.
"Your Highness, I heard that you taught Miss Niao how to play chess today?"
"Well, Shi Yi is very smart and learns quickly. I will ask her to come to me to practice calligraphy tomorrow. I will take her to piano lessons in the afternoon."
Xie Chong said with a smile: "I was originally worried that Your Highness would not know how to teach Miss Niao. It seems that my worries are unnecessary. I can see that Your Highness likes this disciple very much."
"Military advisor, are you very free?"
"ah?"
"If the military advisor is very free, he will go to inspect the military camp with Xiaoyu and the others tomorrow. It just so happens that I have to teach Eleven during this period and I don't have time to go there."
Xie Chong's eyes suddenly widened: "No, Your Highness, I am so old, you want me to inspect the military camp on your behalf?"
Zhou Chen said calmly: "I don't want you to come and tease me when you have nothing to do."
"hehe……"
Xie Chong suddenly laughed, smiling happily.
"Your Highness, I have noticed that you have changed a lot these days, especially after you accepted Miss Nao as your disciple. You actually didn't even go to inspect the military camp. This never happened before."
In the past, Zhou Shengchen was all about military affairs. Even if he stayed in the palace, he could not go to the military camp all day long. He would go to the military camp every now and then to inspect the military camp. In the early morning, he would take his apprentices and soldiers from the palace to the martial arts field for training.
.
But in the past few days after he came back, he left all these things to his apprentice and him. He often went back to the library to read, and he also meditated and read in the study, sitting there for half a day.
After accepting a disciple, I became even more concerned about this new disciple, and started formal teaching the next day, as well as planned teaching.
Zhou Chen asked: "Does the military advisor think these changes of mine are good or bad?"
"Of course it's fine."
Xie Chong answered without hesitation that although he was sent by the late emperor to monitor him, over the years, he had already established a deep friendship with Zhou Shengchen and truly regarded Zhou Shengchen as a relative.
In the past, King Xiao Nanchen only cared about the military and protecting the people, and had little time for himself. Everything was official, and he was never lazy and worked diligently for the people.
This was a good thing, and it was what the late emperor wanted to see, but when he saw it, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. His Highness had sacrificed too much for the royal family and the world. He sincerely hoped that Zhou Shengchen could be happier and think more about himself.
He saw Zhou Chen's recent changes and was happy in his heart.
"Your Highness, if you have nothing to do, why don't we play a game of chess?"
"OK."
Zhou Chen did not refuse and started playing chess with Xie Chong. However, after a few moves, Xie Chong frowned.
"Why has His Highness's chess style changed so much from usual?"
"The military counselors say that I have changed recently. Isn't it normal for the style of chess to change? I have recently read military books and gained a lot of insights, so I have a new understanding and appreciation for playing chess. Military counselors should pay attention.
"
After a long while, Xie Chong held the chess piece in his hand, but could not find it for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.
"I lost. His Highness's chess skills have improved a lot. I am no longer my opponent."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "The strategist is too modest. I just changed my chess style suddenly and the strategist didn't adapt."
Xie Chong shook his head lightly, partly for this reason, but he could also see that during the game, Zhou Chen had always been at ease.
Time flies, and two days pass. During these two days, Zhou Chen personally taught Yang Shiyi, one lesson in the morning and one in the afternoon.
In the evening, Shiyi would go to the library to sort out the books. Zhou Chen said that there was no need to sort out the books, but she insisted. Seeing that she enjoyed it, Zhou Chen didn't stop her.
Today, Yao Shiyi happily came to the study room to prepare for class with Zhou Chen.
Although she has been in class these past few days, she does not feel bored or tired at all, but is very happy.
The master is very kind to her. Even if she doesn't learn well, the master will correct her very gently and help her. Moreover, the master is so powerful and knows everything. She can answer whatever she asks. This makes her especially admire and look forward to it.
Study with the master.
She felt that these few days of studying with her master were the happiest days since she became speechless, so she looked forward to it every day.
But when she came to the study room today, Zhou Chen did not take her to class, but prepared to take her out.
"Eleven, you have become my disciple and have entered the palace for a few days, but you have never been to the military camp, and Wang Jun has never seen you. Today I will take you to the military camp to let Wang Jun get to know you."
Upon hearing this, Yan Shiyi was surprised. In the past few days since she came to Xizhou, apart from staying at the post station for two days, she had only been to the city wall once to watch the military parade. The rest of the time she spent at the palace, so she had to
She was so happy when she knew that Master was going to take her to the military camp.
"You go back and get ready. It's cold outside, so wear more clothes."
Jian Shiyi nodded, then hurriedly left the study and went back to his yard to get dressed.
Zhou Chen and his disciples were waiting at the gate of the palace. Soon, Jian Shiyi came over, and Cheng Xi followed her.
Seeing Zhou Chen, Cheng Xi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I heard from the girl that you want to take her to the military camp, but the girl is a noble daughter, no..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "I know that Shiyi is the daughter of the Miao family, but she is also a member of the royal family now. It is natural for me to take her to meet the royal army under my command."
