After moving into a new house, Zhu Niang asked Uncle Zhong and others to tidy up the house even though it was not hers. All the tables, chairs and benches were replaced with new ones. It seemed that Zhu Niang wanted to live in this courtyard for a long time.
"It's a pity that we rent a building in Nanchang Mansion..."
Aunt Li was still feeling a little distressed while cleaning.
After Zhu Hao came back, he was busy helping the carpenter, handing him tools, wood, etc.
Zhu Niang came out of the room and said, "Xiao Hao, come here."
Zhu Hao put down what he was doing and went into the house with Zhu Niang. This small room was dedicated to the memorial tablet for his father, Zhu Wangong. Currently, only candles were lit, and the incense was not put on.
When Zhu Hao stepped forward to light the incense and put it on the incense table, Zhu Niang said: "Xiao Hao, I swear in front of your father that you will take back the land and house your father left behind in the future. It belongs to us."
Zhu Hao raised his head and looked at his mother. She finally understood the difference between friend and foe. At least she knew that the Zhu family was the enemy now, and the lost fields and houses must be returned to their original owners.
"Mom, do you think that if we use money to buy it from the Zhu family, will the Zhu family sell it to us?" Zhu Hao asked.
Zhu Niang shook her head: "It's impossible. Maybe even the money we paid to buy the house will be taken away by the Zhu family."
Zhu Hao nodded: "Then how can we get it back?"
Zhu Niang: "..."
It’s a very real problem. If the family takes it away, it’s impossible to kindly return it. If you can’t buy it with money, you can find an agent to buy it. But the problem is that you can’t live in it after buying it... There is only one way at the moment, Zhu Niang.
After mother and son became prosperous, the Zhu family could no longer restrict the ownership of the land and house. At that time, there was no need to worry whether they bought it or used other methods.
"Mom, let's put it this way, it's a long way to go to get the house back." Zhu Hao sighed with emotion.
Zhu Niang looked determined: "It is precisely because of the difficulties that I made you swear that you will study hard with Mr. Lu... You must not neglect your studies. Your father is watching from heaven."
…
…
Zhu Niang was deeply resentful that the property left by her late husband was taken away by her mother-in-law.
If Zhu Hao wants to help Zhu Niang cure her heart ailment, he doesn't have to wait until he becomes famous in the future. If he can persuade Prince Xing's Mansion to help with the purchase, there may be a chance, as long as the buyer is a big shot in the Zhu family who can't afford to offend him...
Looking for Huang Zan, the chief envoy to the left in Huguang, is another method, but Su Xigui is of a lower level.
Will Prince Xing or Huang Zan help their mother and son?
Is it necessary to ask for help in this matter?
Apart from using power to suppress the Zhu family and force the Zhu family to submit, there seems to be no other more direct and effective way. Moreover, the Zhu family does not seem to be short of money at present, so there is no need to sell the land and house. This will be difficult to handle.
Xingwang Mansion, Shusheyuan.
The resumption of classes this time looks exactly the same as before, but there is something different...Zhu San changed into a girl's outfit.
"So lovely."
Lu Bing was dumbfounded. It was the first time he saw Zhu San wearing women's clothes to class, and his eyes widened.
Zhu San was secretly happy to be praised by Lu Bing, but then he turned his attention to Jinghong and Zhu Hao and found that these two guys didn't care about their attire at all.
"Hey, can't you look at me one more time? You're a wooden lump?" Zhu San was very dissatisfied.
This princess is wearing floral clothes for you to see, but she turns a blind eye?
It’s so disrespectful!
This time Zhu Hao didn't need to say anything, Jinghong replied in a strange way: "There are differences between men and women, don't look at anything inappropriate. I didn't know you were the princess before. If I knew, I wouldn't play Cuju with you in the first place, and I still have a body with you..."
cough!"
Zhu San pouted: "I haven't blamed you yet... Huh, you didn't suffer."
Zhu Si opened his mouth and laughed: "I think the one who suffers the most is Zhu Hao..."
"Xiaosi, what do you mean? Are you trying to tear me down?" Zhu San glared at his younger brother.
Zhu Sidao: "Have you forgotten who held you and pulled you ashore when you fell into the water?"
Several people looked at Zhu Si with puzzled eyes, because Jinghong and Lu Bing had never heard the person mentioned this in the past, so they were naturally curious about what it was like.
Zhu Hao quickly interrupted the conversation of several children: "Okay, sit down and read quickly. Mr. Lu will teach us today. When he comes and sees us making noise, he will definitely punish us!"
"Is that so? I think he is quite nice..."
Zhu San looked disapproving.
In her opinion, although Tang Yin is not as easy to bully as Gongsun Yi, he is definitely easy to talk to.
Zhu Sidao: "Sister, a strict teacher produces a good disciple. Mr. Lu can make Zhu Hao learn so well. He must be very strict. We are not familiar with him now, so it's hard to start. When we get familiar with him... I'm afraid we will see it."
Several children felt that Zhu Si's words made sense, so they all picked up their books and pretended to flip through them.
But when it was three o'clock in the morning, the usual class time was over, Tang Yin still didn't show his face.
Because that day was the day when Tang Yin was scheduled to give lectures, Gongsun Yi did not enter the palace, and Tang Yin's absence meant that the lectures were closed. The children did not speak at first, but later they couldn't help but start chatting.
It's basically all about fun.
Zhu Hao asked: "What's going on with Mr. Lu today? Why is he nowhere to be seen?"
Zhu Si thought for a while: "I remember, it seems that the palace invited him to drink yesterday. Could it be that he drank too much and didn't get up today?"
Hearing this, Zhu Hao felt worried.
This old boy won't bring his previous bohemian behavior to Prince Xing's Mansion, right? Although Tang Yin is well-known, he is also an out-and-out old drunkard. Such a drunkard can avoid drinking when he is on the run, but once
Once he settles down, can he give up his alcohol addiction?
"Okay, since Mr. Lu is not here, I will teach today's class and continue yesterday's class..."
Zhu Hao cannot let Tang Yin sink.
Now Tang Yin finally has a chance to regain his life. He can't ruin the rest of his life because of his past bad habits, otherwise it will be in vain.
He could only recharge his batteries first and teach a few children.
…
…
When Zhu Hao had a class, Tang Yin arrived late.
As expected, Tang Yin still smelled of alcohol. To say that the drinking happened last night, it was just a hangover. He didn't know how to change out of yesterday's clothes when he came to class... How sloppy must this be?
Maybe this is a common problem among alcoholics!
"Mr. Lu, you're here, did you sleep well? There's eye mucus in the corners of your eyes." Zhu San showed her venomous nature and teased Tang Yin.
Tang Yin rubbed his eyes and said plausibly: "Yuan Changshi has just received the transfer letter from the Ministry of Officials and is about to take up the post of Jiangxi Province. The banquet was held at his house and he got a little greedy. Okay... Let's start today's lecture."
In Taitai, the chief of the Jingcha Envoy is responsible for proposing punishments for each province. He is in charge of the punishment of a province. Together with the Chief Envoy, he is responsible for the civil affairs, justice, and military affairs of a province. They are collectively called the three divisions.
Yuan Zonggao was promoted from the fifth-rank palace chief Shi Shi Lian to the third-rank official. In a sense, it was considered a promotion. Of course, I don't know what the person involved thought.
Tang Yin went to Yuan Zonggao's banquet and drank a few more drinks during the banquet, which was a good reason.
"Let's talk about Mencius..."
Tang Yin was talking at the top, very carefully, but after talking for a long time, he realized that the eyes of the children below were not right, and they felt like they were laughing at him. No one took notes, and taking notes was repeatedly emphasized in Zhu Hao's lesson plan.
Have students mark the corresponding parts of the book and make some annotations.
"Why don't you annotate the chapters and sentences? Have you memorized them all?" Tang Yin asked puzzledly.
Zhu San smiled and said: "Zhu Hao has said it before, and we have all annotated it, and what Mr. Lu said is exactly the same as what he said, we don't need to add any more annotations..."
Tang Yin couldn't help but feel embarrassed after hearing this.
I think my lesson plan was given by Zhu Hao, and the content of the lesson was also noted by Zhu Hao. If Zhu Hao had already taught it... wouldn't I be too embarrassed?
Zhu Hao said quickly: "What I'm talking about was originally taught by Mr. Lu... In the past, when Mr. Sui and Mr. Gongsun were away, I was the one doing the talking. Mr. Lu can talk about the next content."
Tang Yin was glad for a while that Zhu Hao had saved his face, but he always used other people's lesson plans to teach. Isn't it too opportunistic? What's worse, he didn't prepare too much for the lesson, and it was also because of drinking... Now
Let him jump and talk... What should I do if I don't prepare lessons in advance?
Zhu Hao was a little speechless towards Tang Yin.
Everything that should be prepared for you has been prepared. You caused trouble for me because of drinking, but you can't handle it. How can you still teach me like this?
"Mr. Lu, I just finished speaking. I need them to understand more and review it first." Zhu Hao gave another solution.
Tang Yin could only do this when he heard that, he nodded and said: "Then let's review the past first, and learn the new by reviewing the past..."
After saying that, he ignored the children and sat there with his head on his hands, looking sleepy.
…
…
Zhu Hao called Tang Yin into the yard on the pretext of going to the toilet.
Zhu Hao asked: "Mr. Lu, why are you out of shape today?"
Tang Yin smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't I tell you everything? Yuan Changshi invited me to drink yesterday..."
"How long will you drink? But everyone in the palace is the same as you, sleeping until almost noon? Even if others drink you, you should be measured..."
Zhu Hao's words were serious and thoughtful, even with a hint of rebuke, "I also know that you have been used to a carefree life in the past, but the atmosphere of Prince Xing's Mansion is upright and restrained, and it is definitely not a place where people can indulge in excess.
"In the past, you used to write poems and paintings casually, and you could do it in one go. You can do the same as a staff member in Prince Ning's Mansion. But now you are a teacher in the Prince's Mansion, responsible for the prince's lessons, so you must be rigorous and dignified as a teacher.
"Right now, because you have just entered the palace, the palace is very tolerant out of respect for you, but over time, even if your colleagues in the palace will not report your actions, do you think that the prince and the princess will not explain it to Prince Xing and the princess?
?How will you establish yourself in Prince Xing’s Mansion at that time? After walking out of the gate of Prince Xing’s Mansion, will you have a better place to stay?”
Tang Yin did not expect that he would be taught a lesson by his nominal disciple Zhu Hao.
The words were so sharp and to the point that he had no way to refute.
He stood there blankly, not coming back to his senses for a long time, and finally suppressed his words: "Zhu Hao, these words are what you are thinking...are you speaking from your feelings?"
