Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 383, Unremarkable Senior Brother
Even though he knew that his senior brother had no cultivation, Lu Jiuzhang still respected him very much.
"Senior Brother, how many students does Master Xu have?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Many, among Confucianism and Taoism, you can become Master Xu's disciple after taking a few lessons from Master Xu. But if we talk about direct disciples, there are five of them in total. I am the senior brother, and I am the least promising one."
"Your second senior brother is now halfway to the third level of Confucianism and Taoism. After a while, he may be a new great Confucian."
"The third junior sister is your Majesty now, I won't introduce you too much."
"The fourth junior brother has a naughty temper and doesn't like studying. Even Master Xu has a headache. He yearns for martial arts all day long and spends most of his time running around outside. The last time I saw him, he was still only at the eighth level in Confucianism and Taoism.
, there is no progress at all, but the martial arts has been improved to the fourth level."
"Second Junior Brother likes to travel around, and Fourth Junior Brother doesn't like to stay in Jingzhao Mansion. Only Third Junior Sister and I are here."
"The third junior sister deals with government affairs all day long, and I am the only one taking care of the teacher's daily life."
Wu Rendi explained it, and Lu Jiuzhang almost understood it.
These four senior brothers and sisters are not good friends.
It seems that this senior brother is the only one who is ordinary.
No, it can no longer be said to be mediocre, but rather mediocre.
After following Master Xu for so long, I have yet to reach the ninth level of Confucianism and Taoism.
Maybe it’s not suitable for Confucianism and Taoism!
Lu Jiuzhang bowed his hands and said, "After arriving at Jingzhao Mansion, I hope that senior brother will take care of me a little more."
"Hahaha, what can I take care of?"
Wu Rendi laughed at himself, "Junior brother is much more talented than me. Master Xu once said that if he is not here, let me stay with you, junior brother."
…
The carriage moved forward slowly.
After a long time, we finally arrived at Prince Gong’s Mansion.
It is worthy of being a royal palace, it is full of style.
The door, which is several feet high and made of unknown materials, is quite shocking at first glance.
"This is my home."
The little fat man Zhou Zheng pointed to the top plaque and said, "If I have no future, when I die, Prince Gong's Mansion above will become Gonghou Mansion!"
There is no way, the Zhou Dynasty has been established for more than five hundred years.
If the enfeoffment continues, how many princes will appear in the Zhou Dynasty?
The royal family pays astronomical stipends to these princes every year.
There are too many princes and the royal family cannot afford them.
It is enough to let the second generation experience the glory of the prince again. When the third generation becomes a marquis, the fourth and fifth generations will have lower and lower titles.
In the end, they became common people.
"Little prince, you are back!"
The door of Prince Gong's Mansion opened, and an old man who looked like a butler appeared in front of everyone.
"This is Uncle Fu, the chief steward of the palace. You live here. If anything happens, you can ask Uncle Fu to handle it."
The little fat man Zhou Zheng explained to everyone, and then looked at the housekeeper Fu Bo, "Uncle Fu, tell my mother that I am back and I have brought some friends with me."
"Okay, little prince!"
Uncle Fu turned around in a hurry and walked towards the old princess's courtyard.
As for the little fat man Zhou Zheng, he led everyone around the palace.
The tallest building in the mansion overlooks most of the inner city.
As for the palace, it is not within the scope that everyone can overlook.
This is a great crime of disrespect.
As he led everyone forward, the scene in the palace was indeed eye-opening for everyone.
Not only are there many lakes and rare plants, but many antiques, calligraphy and paintings are also displayed everywhere.
"Most of the warriors in the palace are the imperial guards in the palace, who are used to protect the safety of the palace." The little fat man Zhou Zheng said, "So in the entire palace, except those named Zhou, they are not allowed to practice martial arts, and other warriors are not allowed.
exist."
"This has always been the rule of the royal family, and the control is very strict!"
"You also owe it to Lu Jiuzhang. Otherwise, if so many warriors entered the palace together, we would have to investigate."
The little fat boy Zhou Zheng was dissatisfied with these rules and regulations.
But he also knew in his heart that this was to check and balance the princes and prevent some princes from getting involved with other forces.
After all, as a member of the royal family, it is very likely that he will be supported by others and eventually pose a threat to the throne.
The entire palace is huge, beyond everyone's imagination.
It took a long time to complete the transfer of the entire palace.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw the mother of the little fat boy Zhou Zheng.
She is a beautiful woman in palace attire, with an indescribable aura about her.
Some people say that soil and water support a person, but this is not the case, only money can support a person.
A young lady from a wealthy family, who has no fingers in the spring water and knows how to dress, is definitely much prettier than an ordinary peasant woman.
With the blessing of jewels, Zhou Zheng's mother looked even more dignified.
"Hello, aunt!"
Lu Jiuzhang took the lead, and everyone said hello to the old princess in unison.
"It turns out we are guests. The palace has not been so polite for a long time. Ah Fu, have you arranged the accommodation for the guests?" asked the old princess.
"It's been arranged!"
Butler Forbes nodded.
"Invite the best cook in the capital to come over and let's have a family dinner tonight," the old princess said.
"promise!"
Butler Fu Bo then went to do it.
The old princess was very enthusiastic, but everyone was a little cautious at first, but gradually they got better.
After a tiring day, the old princess asked everyone to take a rest first and then come back during dinner time in the evening.
I returned to the place where I lived. It was very spacious inside.
There are two rooms, with a small living room outside and a sleeping place inside.
"Junior brother, let's go find the teacher now."
Wu Rendi on the side said, "It's not too early.'
"Let's go!"
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, told the little fat man Zhou Zheng about the situation, then left the royal father and rushed towards Master Xu's residence.
The place where Master Xu lives is also in the imperial city.
But it's extremely remote.
When Lu Jiuzhang arrived, he saw a shabby little house.
Compared to Prince Gong's Mansion, this place couldn't be more shabby.
"Our teacher has always lived here?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Yes, Master Xu doesn't have high requirements for life. The most common things in the house are books. Books can be seen everywhere." Senior Brother Wu Rendi said, "Master Xu only half-read some books and put them aside casually.
"
"I'll probably forget it next time and just throw it there."
"I didn't clean it up either!"
"There is a micro array in the house that can prevent rain from washing those books."
Under the leadership of Wu Rendi, Lu Jiuzhang walked into the house.
There are indeed books everywhere inside, and there are several books placed on a clothes pole.
Master Xu was reading a book in the courtyard. When he saw Lu Jiuzhang coming, he put the book on a stool beside him.
Teacher Xu was interested in reading this book this time. I don’t know what year or month I will read it next time.
The whole house looks like it is made of books. This chapter has been completed!
