Zhu Hao's purpose is to teach Zhu San and Zhu Si to treat everyone equally and try not to see class differences in their eyes.
Zhu Sanbian pursed his lips: "Jinghong said he didn't want it, but he still insisted on giving it to him, making it seem like I was trying to rob him... He talks about one thing after another. Do you really think of yourself as Mr. Zhu?"
It seems a bit difficult for a little princess who is favored in the palace, accustomed to being aloof and unruly by nature to accept the concept of "everyone is equal".
The main reason is that Zhu San does not know how to consider problems from the perspective of others and lacks empathy between people.
Zhu Si sneered: "Then Third Sister, you don't listen to him?"
"Bah, if I don't listen to him, he will deduct my share next time. He is such a bad guy. He always tempts us with some good things and then forces us to abide by his rules. It's really..."
Zhu San originally wanted to criticize Zhu Hao, but when he saw Zhu Hao's glance, or realized that going against Zhu Hao would do no good, he simply pretended to be mute and said nothing.

in class.
Tang Yin looked absent-minded. Recently, he was asked to teach the children continuously. Gongsun Yi, the assistant teacher, has never been in the palace and there is no one to take over the class. He actually feels exhausted mentally and physically.
I almost wanted to imitate Zhu Hao and fall asleep in class.
In the past, Tang Yin was used to being undisciplined, and after becoming a staff member of the royal family, he did not come to the school every day to attend classes. Now there is no one to take turns, and he has to rely on him to support both inside and outside the classroom. In the long run, he can no longer bear it.
In the afternoon, Zhu Hao had to finish school early again.
Seeing Zhu Hao packing his schoolbag, Tang Yin asked the other children to read loudly, and then called Zhu Hao into the yard.
"You can go out with me later and meet the students of the same age in various schools... This is what the palace wants you to do, to compare your knowledge with local students to see if you have the ability to take the Children's Student Examination."
Tang Yin brought Zhu Hao some bad news.
Zhu Hao looked at Tang Yin and felt that Tang Yin felt guilty, and then asked: "Mr. Lu, is it your suggestion to the palace?"
Tang Yin said: "Yes and no...don't you think about it, why did the palace ask you and Jinghong to come to study in the palace? You were selected at the beginning, right? Select outstanding young people to come in, in order to help the prince in the future.
, If you can't stand out among the children of your age, then what's the use of keeping you in the palace?"
There is sufficient evidence.
Only the best local children of the same age are qualified to be the prince's reading companion.
"Of course, I know that comparing yourself to some children of the same age is bullying them. With your talent and learning, let alone a child around ten years old, even a student of fourteen or fifteen years old who is preparing to take the county examination may not be as good as you... so I also
I would like to make a suggestion to the palace and ask you to discuss knowledge with a young man from the Confucian School Department who has passed the county examination. Don't let the palace lose face."
Zhu Hao finally understood what Tang Yin meant by "yes and no".
You, an old boy like me, artificially increase the difficulty for me in terms of feelings. You promised to compare me with my peers. Why did you find me an older child who is five or six years older than me right away?
Wouldn't that mean primary school students compete with high school students?
Where is the fairness?
Tang Yin felt that this arrangement was reasonable, and looked at Zhu Hao and said: "You should also consider my suggestion and take the county examination next year. If everything goes well, you will be able to pass the examination to be a student member when you are thirteen years old.
Take the provincial examination at the age of 20... maybe you can achieve something before you turn 20."
"hehe."
Zhu Hao responded with a disdainful smile.
Who are you, Tang Yin?
Do you really think of yourself as my husband?
You actually started planning my future life?
"Are you planning to stay in the palace for the rest of your life? You have no fame, and even if you are good at learning, you will never be able to make a living. How many talented people cannot make progress in the imperial examinations, and end up doing nothing in the end... Do you want to learn
them?"
Tang Yin saw Zhu Hao's scornful expression and couldn't help but continue to admonish him.
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, are you talking about yourself?"
Tang Yin almost couldn't breathe. This guy is sincerely trying to embarrass me, right?
"By the way, Mr. Lu, may I ask how old you were when you were admitted as a student member, and how old were you when you were admitted as a civil servant?" Zhu Hao asked casually.
Tang Yin didn't want to answer this kind of question, and replied coldly: "It has nothing to do with you at what age I pass the scholar examination. Even if I win early, so what? The road to the imperial examination is cut off, and the future is hopeless. I can only seek advancement through side paths... You are a
My child, you should take a long-term view, and don’t always try to seek fame and fortune by relying on Prince Xing’s palace. It may seem like a good thing, but it’s actually a lack of progress.”
It was both scolding Zhu Hao and also seeming to be self-deprecating.
Zhu Hao smiled.
The palace asked him to compare knowledge with a group of older children, so just go and let Tang Yin take you to see something. It would be more interesting than staying in the palace and studying hard every day.
Speaking of which, as an adult, I have to attend class every day, which is indeed quite a torturous thing.
The outside world is still interesting.
…
…
Zhu Hao returned home.
Zhu Niang called Zhu Hao into the house. Outside, Xiaobai was talking to a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. It seemed that Zhu Niang had summoned her into the courtyard to serve as a maid.
"Mom, who is that? She's quite beautiful." Zhu Hao said with a smile.
Zhu Niang rolled her eyes at her son: "You don't speak seriously, how old are you? Do you know what is beautiful or not? You can't use your mind on this... Mom came back to take care of the yard, not to mess around with you.
"
Zhu Hao grinned with a bright and innocent smile: "What did you say? Everyone has a love for beauty. What's wrong with me expressing my opinion on beautiful things?"
"Who is here who is so eloquent and chatting with the lady?"
Aunt Li entered the house with a smile.
Zhu Hao saw this posture. My mother and my aunt went into battle together and closed the door. Is this a "second mother's discipline"?
The rhythm is wrong!
Then Zhu Niang said seriously: "Just after noon today, your fourth uncle came to the house and asked about your studies in detail. He said that he would take you to attend the literary meeting in the future."
Zhu Hao thought of what Tang Yin had said to him before.
As he grew older, the Zhu family, like the royal family, began to be "concerned" about his studies, and even sent Zhu Wanquan to inquire about his situation?
Don't the Zhu family know that it has only been more than a year since he officially became a monk?
Kaiwenhui took him with him. The purpose of the Zhu family was obviously different from that of the palace. The palace knew that he was extremely capable and was really prepared to let him take the imperial examination.
The Zhu family is mostly using Zhu Wanquan to paralyze Zhu Niang, taking this opportunity to bring Zhu Hao back to the Zhu family and control it, thus regaining control of the third room.
"Xiao Hao, I know what you want to say. Your fourth uncle has been studying in the county school and has never been involved in family affairs. He is sincere and definitely does it for your own good... My mother agreed to him at that time."
Zhu Niang knew that her son had always regarded the Zhu family as wolves and ferocious beasts, but she also felt that Zhu Wanquan was one of the few peers in the Zhu family who had a humble attitude towards her.
Zhu Hao’s homework is obviously not malicious and is trustworthy.
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Do you think my grandmother has completely let go of the incident in the Liulicong Workshop?"
"You kid, you are really..."
Seeing that Zhu Hao could not be persuaded, Zhu Niang turned to look at Aunt Li, hoping that her sister could help persuade him.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about my studies... Mr. Lu said that the palace plans to let me discuss knowledge with the children of the Confucian Academy who have passed the county examination. He also said that next year I will be allowed to take the imperial examination, which is to take the county examination...
With Mr. Lu’s strong network and connections, why should we use our fourth uncle’s connections?”
Zhu Hao did not want to take the county examination next year.
But now the Zhu family is obviously trying to make a fuss about his studies, so he has to take action. For him, he has to take the imperial examination sooner or later, and taking the county examination is no big deal.
So I explained it directly to Zhu Niang.
When Zhu Niang and Aunt Li heard the news, they were really happy, but at the same time they were worried.
Zhu Niang asked hesitantly: "But it hasn't been long since you have been enlightened. How could Mr. Lu think that you are qualified to take part in the imperial examination? They say that you have studied hard for ten years, and you have only been studying for more than a year. No matter how talented you are,
, is it... a little too hasty?"
It's too hasty at this time. Why didn't you think so when my fourth uncle asked me to attend some cultural gathering?
"Mom, the people who know the most about my studies are definitely not the Zhu family, right? Mr. Lu is not only my enlightenment teacher, but also responsible for teaching me knowledge. Every time he asks me to write an article and hand it over to him for review, does he know the truth about it?
I don’t understand my academic level? With his ability and knowledge, do you think he would let me do something that is not in line with my abilities? Is it good for him as a husband if I make a fool of myself in front of others? "
Zhu Hao gave a reasonable answer.
Aunt Li said in surprise: "Madam, Master Hao is right, what level is Mr. Lu? He will definitely not encourage others!"
Zhu Niang nodded in relief: "Well, you and Mr. Lu need to go out and see each other more...but his identity needs to be kept strictly confidential. Is it really okay to be active locally?"
Zhu Hao said: "With the support of Prince Xing's Mansion, what are you afraid of? Do the people from Prince Ning's Mansion dare to cause trouble in the Anlu world? Everyone in the Prince's Mansion is aware of his situation, and more and more people in the local area know Mr. Lu's true identity.
Is he in any danger? Anyway, I will study hard with Mr. Lu."
…
…
For Zhu Hao.
As long as Zhu Niang is given a reason to see that he has made progress in his studies, she will not make it difficult for him to keep in close contact with the Zhu family.
When he went back to study the next day, Tang Yin went to Zhu Hao alone to explain the situation.
"...This matter has alarmed even Prince Xing. According to what Zhang Fengzheng said, if your knowledge is really outstanding, you will be allowed to take the imperial examination in the next two years, or find a way to send you to the Nanjing Imperial College to study to increase your knowledge."
Zhu Hao frowned.
Not only did the palace let him discuss knowledge with the local elders who had passed the county examination and were preparing for the government examination, but they also tried to send him to the Nanjing Imperial College?
"Scholars who enter the country are generally called supervisors: those who raise people are called jujian, students who are born are called tribute supervisors, those who are promoted to officials are called yin supervisors, and those who donate money are called regular supervisors."
If you don't get a high school diploma, you can only go to Nanjing to serve as a probation prisoner.
Could it be that you dislike me because I am from the Zhu family, and I have made a lot of contributions in the palace, so you are embarrassed to drive me away, so you can send me away in another way?
