"Eat slowly. If it's not enough, add more. No one will compete with you." Qin Hao was worried that the mutton would be too hot and hurt her stomach.

After Cheng Shaoshang swallowed the mutton, he exhaled and said, "This mutton is so delicious. Can I eat it once every ten months?"

Qin Hao was happy: "The jewelry Uncle Cheng sent is enough for you to come every day."

Cheng Shaoshang shook his head while scalding the mutton: "Once in ten months is enough. If my second aunt finds out, she will definitely find a reason to punish me again."

It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household chores, so Qin Hao could only hand Cheng Shaoshang a dipping plate: "Try it, it tastes better with this dipping sauce. There are many delicious foods in my house, better than this one."

Shabu-boiled mutton is much more delicious. If you come later, I will ask the kitchen to cook it for you differently."

"Thank you, Brother Qin." Cheng Shaoshang's mouth watered when he heard this. He quickly dipped the cooked mutton in the leftover ingredients. His eyes narrowed with happiness. In her opinion, this hot-boiled mutton was already the most delicious thing in the world.

There is actually something more delicious than it.

Qin Hao was very happy. As expected, children were so greedy that they couldn't even move forward when they heard the delicious food.

After a delicious meal, Cheng Shaoshang returned home, but Ge Shi found an excuse to kneel down in the ancestral hall and punished her by not allowing her to eat. This was also Ge ​​Shi's usual trick. Punishing Cheng Shaoshang would make her suffer.

, to relieve the suffocation in his heart, and at the same time make the outside world think that Cheng Shaoshang is naughty, otherwise how could he be punished?

In ancient times, reputation was very important. Even if Xiao Yuanyi came back to file a lawsuit with her in the future, who would believe what a little girl who had been "naughty since childhood" said?

However, Ge Shi miscalculated this time. Cheng Shaoshang was able to eat enough at Qin Hao's house and was not worried about being hungry at all.

She couldn't even eat the snacks that her cousin Cheng Shu secretly sent her at night, so she had to hide them secretly.

.......

After the beginning of spring, the studies in the palace returned to normal, mainly because the princes no longer had to accompany Emperor Wen to participate in various sacrifices.

On this day, a new gentleman came to the palace, from the Lou family, the first family in Pengcheng, Hedong. The appearance of this gentleman made the atmosphere in the originally harmonious small class become complicated.

After the death of Taigong Lou, the title of the Lou family was inherited by the old man. He was promoted by Emperor Wen and appointed as the Taifu of the current dynasty to assist Prince Zuo.

Although Mr. Lou is the lecturer in name, he is actually the prince's teacher. He naturally favors the prince in his actions. Moreover, this man is very narrow-minded and has no tolerance for others. He often talks about concubines, superiority and inferiority in class, which is obvious.

I told the third prince and the fifth prince to stop coveting the throne.

As the heir to the throne, the prince was naturally willing to listen to this theory, and Taifu Lou soon gained the prince's trust.

Qin Hao had the patience to listen to Taifu Lou's class at first, but later found out that he had no useful information at all in class, so he simply took a leave of absence due to illness, or went to the martial arts field with Ling Buyi to have fun, while the third prince and the fifth prince

It was very depressing. As princes, they could not miss classes at will, otherwise they would be reprimanded by Emperor Wen. Every time Taifu Lou went to class, it was as uncomfortable as being punished.

Time flies by like a flash, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Hao is already twelve years old and has grown into a handsome young man.

Someone with good intentions even gave him the title of "The First Young Master in the Capital".

Of course, to be famous, you must have some outstanding achievements to convince the public. The first is knowledge. Qin Hao's articles have been praised by Zhang Chun and other great scholars, and his calligraphy has been recognized by many calligraphers.

Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy was definitely a genre of his own in the Han Dynasty. After five years of training, Qin Hao also perfected his left-hand calligraphy. At a banquet hosted by Emperor Wen, he performed the stunt of using both hands to draw a bow from left to right, which caused a stir.

A small sensation.

It is important to become famous as early as possible, and this was also true in the Han Dynasty.

Of course, being famous has also brought a lot of trouble to Qin Hao. There were many people who were interested in him, but now he has become the jealous target of the little girls in the capital.

Unlike the Song Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had no ethical restrictions. The little girls in the Han Dynasty were very lively. Qin Hao encountered various "accidental encounters" every day, and every banquet he attended would attract a lot of little girls.

swarmed in.

As a result, the third prince often teased Qin Hao, saying that he was born to be a mischievous person.

On this day, Qin Hao ran away in a hurry after another "accidental encounter". Not long after returning home, Qin Yuan came over happily and told Qin Hao good news.

"Your cousin is coming."

"Cousin?" Qin Hao's eyes lit up. This seemed to be really good news for him. His cousin was the famous Yuan Shen and Yuan Shanjian.

Finally someone came to help him share the firepower!

Mrs. Qin Yuan didn't know the little idea of ​​going to Qin Hao. She thought he was getting close to her nephew, and she was very happy.

Almost half a month later, Yuan Shen finally arrived in the capital. The Qin Yuan family naturally cared deeply about their nephew. Qin Hao was overjoyed when he saw that Yuan Shen had a tall and straight figure. Although he was a little frail, he was handsome in appearance. Isn't this the best thing?

A "magnet".

"Cousin, I heard from my mother early in the morning that my cousin is coming. I have prepared a room for my cousin. I will take you around in a while."

Yuan Shen didn't know yet about Qin Hao's "evil intentions", but he thought his cousin was naturally warm-hearted and was very touched.

"Then I'll help my cousin."

Seeing that they got along so harmoniously, Mrs. Qin and Yuan felt extremely happy: "You cousins ​​will get closer to each other in the future."

Soon, Qin Hao found that he seemed to be in trouble. Yuan Shen was not only arrogant, but also very strict about rules.

In the hot summer, Qin Hao wore cooler clothes at home, and Yuan Shen took the trouble to correct him. Qin Hao could only treat it as if it went in with his left ear and out with his right ear.

On this day, Qin Hao was enjoying the cool air on a lounge chair under a tree. Suddenly a fruit fell from the sky and landed in Qin Hao's arms. Without looking up, he knew that it must be Cheng Shaoshang.

Sure enough, Cheng Shaoshang was sitting on the wall, chewing hastily in his mouth. His little baby face was bulging, like a little hamster stealing food, and he was holding a half-bitten fruit in his hand.

Seeing Qin Hao looking at him, Cheng Shaoshang smiled at him in his busy schedule. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a cold voice.

"Whose little girl is this so ignorant of etiquette?"

Needless to say, these words must have come from Yuan Shen.

Cheng Shaoshang covered half of his face and asked Qin Hao: "Who is this person? He is so annoying. Can I fight him?"

After being in contact with Qin Hao for a long time, a strange word would come out of Cheng Shaoshang's mouth.

Qin Hao secretly snickered. Cheng Shaoshang had a strong personality and couldn't stand being scolded by others. This time, his cousin might have met his opponent.

"He is my cousin, but it doesn't matter. Even if I fight against him, I am tired of being lectured by him."

After getting Qin Hao's approval, Cheng Shaoshang jumped down from the wall and bounced lightly when he landed. Then he walked up to Yuan Shen and stared at him.

Yuan Shen was stunned. The little girls he had seen before were all delicate and lovely. This was the first time he had seen a girl like Cheng Shaoshang who climbed up the wall.

Cheng Shaoshang crossed his arms in front of his chest, raised his chin and said, "Which etiquette says that women cannot climb walls?"

These words really stopped Yuan Shen from asking. In fact, the Han Dynasty's restrictions on women's behavior were not that strict. Ban Zhao was not born yet, and the [Female Ring] she wrote was naturally not born. As for what [

[Nv Ze] [Daughter's Sutra] These are far away.

"What annoys you the most is you fake Taoists. You are all lenient to yourself and strict to others, but you don't know where you can find the dignity to say that others don't know etiquette!"

Qin Hao almost stopped applauding Cheng Shaoshang, finally someone helped him deal with this cousin.

Yuan Shen was furious: "You are an insult to gentlemen!"

Cheng Shaoshang became even more disdainful: "Humph, you just use politeness to talk about things if you can't explain it. You are really a polite scum!"

Yuan Shen's face turned red and he stared at her angrily: "There is a cloud in Zhou Li..."

Cheng Shaoshang interrupted directly: "The Book of Rites says: When the king caress the style, the doctor will do it; when the doctor caress the style, the scholar will do it; etiquette is not given to the common people. Punishment is not done to the doctor, and the person who punishes is not at the king's side."

"As a little girl, you don't have to follow those complicated etiquettes as a commoner. But you, your bun is messed up, and you don't go back to the house to tidy it up. This is a great discourtesy."

"You..." Yuan Shen covered the bun on his head and ran away.

When he walked away, Qin Hao finally couldn't help laughing: "Today, my cousin met his nemesis."

I have to admit that when Cheng Shaoshang, who has knowledge, can argue with others, he can do so with reasonable arguments, which makes Yuan Shen unable to resist at all, which is very satisfying.

Cheng Shaoshang blinked and made an OK gesture to Qin Hao, saying: It's just a joke.

"What delicious food have you prepared today? I can't wait any longer." Cheng Shaoshang was not polite and sat directly on the recliner next to Qin Hao.

Speaking of which, these two chairs were made by Cheng Shaoshang. Although this girl has read a lot of books over the years and has become literate, her biggest interest is still making these weird objects.

Most of the furniture in Qin Hao's room now was made by her. Not to mention that this girl's craftsmanship is really good. If she traveled back to modern times, this craftsmanship alone would be enough for her to live.

Qin Hao said to the boy next to him: "Why don't you go and notify the kitchen to serve food?"

"promise."

When the dishes were served, Cheng Shaoshang's mouth was watering. The crystal pork elbow, roasted mutton and corn rice were simply amazing.

Corn is actually millet. In the Han Dynasty, due to restrictions on planting conditions, rice could only be eaten in later generations in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Hunan. However, in the capital of the Han Dynasty in the northwest, most people could not eat rice.

As for wheat, it is a staple food that only the poor eat. At this time, people did not know that wheat had to be ground into powder. Instead, they used a steamer to steam the wheat grains like rice. The taste of steamed whole wheat grains is particularly bad.

So only the poor will use it to satisfy their hunger.

While Cheng Shaoshang was enjoying his meal, he went back home and looked in the mirror and realized that Yuan Shen, who had been deceived, rushed over angrily.

"You, little girl, speak the truth every time you say it. How come my master's hair has never been messed up?"

Cheng Shaoshang almost choked and hiccupped repeatedly because of his words. Qin Hao poured a bowl of water for her and Cheng Shaoshang quickly drank it, which stopped the hiccups.

Yuan Shen saw this and snorted coldly: "Vulgar!"

Cheng Shaoshang was furious: "You still have the nerve to call me vulgar? What about you? When others are eating, are you just being polite when you yell at others? You say you are lenient to yourself and strict in disciplining others, but you still don't admit it.

!”

Yuan Shen was speechless, but what surprised Cheng Shaoshang was that Yuan Shen did not continue to argue with her, but bowed to her and gave her a standard hand-over-hand salute.

"The young man was impulsive just now, please forgive me, young lady."
To be continued...
