Prince Chang Yu's temperament was far worse than Chu Qing thought.
Chu Qing's main mission is "The prince learns arithmetic".
Of the two princes, Chu Qing wanted to give a discount to the main mission. If one of them could learn, he would succeed. The second prince, Changxian, respected his teachers and looked like other people's children. He would teach him for a few days and then go back to the Household Office.
Keep going to the Li family.
But who knew that Prince Chang Yu suddenly asked Chang Xian to teach him the Four Books and Five Classics? Then Chang Xian bowed to Chu Qing and began to read "Shang Shu" to his eldest brother.
Chu Qing clicked his tongue in surprise.
I have only heard of the boss doting on the second child, but this is the first time I heard of the second child doting on the boss.
In this way, Chu Qing became an idler, and Prince Chang Yu looked proud.
Chu Qing sat aside, his eyes constantly scanning the two princes.
The second child is not as "good" as he thought, and the eldest brother is not as stupid as he thought.
Not to mention, even if he wanted to make a snitch, he couldn't.
Has the prince learned arithmetic?
No.
But, I'm not fooling around. This guy has studied the Four Books and Five Classics.
The math teacher will definitely not be happy if you study Chinese so hard in math class. The problem is that parents don’t care. You can learn Chinese and math if you can, and you can’t learn anything.
Two hours passed like this. Chu Qing, who came to teach arithmetic, listened to "Shang Shu" all morning and still didn't understand anything.
The rain outside has also stopped, and the two princes still have schoolwork in the afternoon, but Chu Qing feels that it has nothing to do with him anymore. The prince is clearly trying to make things difficult for him.
Sun An was very considerate. When it was time for dinner, he asked the eunuch to bring a food box.
After that, Sun An also asked the eunuch to send a message, saying that the emperor had told him that Chu Qing could wander around the palace as he pleased and look at the palaces everywhere to see if there were any that needed repairs. It had been windy and rainy recently, so which palace
Ruined again.
Chu Qing was confused.
What does the emperor mean by this? Do you want me to come here to teach arithmetic, or do you want to do engineering?
It has to be said that just because of the construction of Taowu Palace, in Huang Laosi's eyes, all the people in the Ministry of Works combined are not as "professional" as Chu Qing.
But it's okay, Chu Qing can take this opportunity to wander around the palace as he pleases.
In fact, Chu Qing, who is now the eldest son of the Prince's prison, can wander around the palace without this excuse, because he is now "a member" of the imperial guards and nominally supervises a group of imperial guards who watch the gates.
.
After finishing his meal, Quan Dang took a break and unknowingly came to the familiar outside of Taowu Hall.
Chu Qing sighed.
The saddest thing in life is to build a house with great effort, and then you can't get in after it's finished.
Looking at Taowu Hall, Chu Qing was filled with emotions.
All the young men in the village went to the city to build houses for the wealthy people. They built hundreds of villas, but the money they saved was not enough to go back to the village and buy a cow, blanch it!
It is quite late for His Highness to attend court today, and the ministers have just retired.
Chu Qing happened to be strolling and looking over there. Qiu Wanshan, who had just gone down to court, had sharp eyes. He was about to leave the palace, but when he saw Chu Qing in the distance, he quickly walked towards him.
Before Chu Qing could salute, Qiu Wanshan laughed, stepped forward and patted Chu Qing on the shoulder.
"You know that Brother Xian is a leader among people, and his rise to greatness is just around the corner. Brother Yu wants to express his joy."
"Hello?"
"Of course I want to congratulate you. Brother Yu was thinking yesterday, why did Sun An go to find you and bring the imperial edict with him? It seems that the emperor wants to reward you. Sure enough, Brother Yu guessed it. He must have given you the title of Donggong.
I am an official, otherwise we would not meet here."
Chu Qing was happy: "Then in order to celebrate my becoming an official of the East Palace, please return the land deed to me."
"It's easy to say. As soon as I return to the government office, I will have the land deed delivered to Chu Mansion."
Chu Qing looked suspicious: "Real or false?"
"When did Brother Yu tell lies to you?"
Chu Qing laughed dryly.
It should be more appropriate to ask when the truth came out of your mouth.
Chu Qing was just joking at first, but he didn't expect Qiu Wanshan to actually return the land deed to him.
Qiu Wanshan's face was full of smiles: "Tell Brother Yu quickly, what kind of official position will your Majesty give you?"
"That's why I was asked to teach arithmetic in the palace."
Qiu Wanshan was stunned for half a second, and then said: "After the land deed is returned to you, just give Brother Yu a note and write down that you owe five hundred guan."
Chu Qing: "..."
The smile on Qiu Wanshan's face disappeared and he yawned: "I still have official duties, so I need to take a step first..."
After a pause, Qiu Wanshan asked casually: "Since you are teaching arithmetic, how can you walk around the palace at will?"
"Your Majesty asked me to look around the palace and other places to see if there are any places that are in disrepair."
Qiu Wanshan was stunned for another half second, and then said seriously: "When you write the note, don't forget to add the interest, fifteen dollars per month."
Chu Qing was so angry: "You are too snobbish. Even if you are just a temporary teacher in the palace, isn't Master Wei also my patron?"
"That's true, then just give me twelve guan. Knowing that you are short of money, just give me a poem and a pair of words every month."
"Isn't that the same as what I said before?" Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't leave in a hurry, let me ask you something."
"This is the palace, and I am not allowed to stay at will. We will talk about it another day, and we will talk about it another day."
"It's okay. I'm a prince, tall and straight. I'm in charge of the gate and maybe some guards. If you follow me, there won't be any guards to chase you away."
Qiu Wanshan was stunned for the third time, but this time he was stunned for a long time, and then he blurted out: "Prince, the prison gates are straight to the left and right?"
"Yes, that's the unlucky name."
"Uh..." Qiu Wanshan's expression changed again, switching freely, he patted Chu Qing on the shoulder and laughed: "Brother Xian, does he know what Brother Yu's hobbies are?"
"Smoking, drinking, and perming your hair?"
"No, no, no, Brother Yu usually likes to tell jokes."
Chu Qing was confused: "What do you mean?"
"I just said that I want you to pay back five hundred dollars in interest. Guess whether Brother Yu is joking or serious."
Chu Qing understood instantly: "Are you kidding?"
"No, seriously."
Chu Qing: "..."
Qiu Wanshan laughed and said: "If you are rich, just give it back to Brother Yu. There is not much money, Brother Yu is not in a hurry. I will send someone to your Chu Mansion this afternoon for the land deed."
Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I understand, this prince has prison gates running from left to right, so he is quite a senior official."
"Talking as we walk."
After all, it was in the palace. After going to court, Qiu Wanshan did not dare to stay any longer.
Walking side by side with Qiu Wanshan, Chu Qing had a smile on his lips.
He knew that Qiu Wanshan was not a good person, but this guy was the most real person, at least to him.
In this world, there are too many people who are hypocritical. They say they are good for you and support you all the time, but betray you when they say they are betraying you behind your back.
But Qiu Wanshan is not like that. He said he would betray you in front of you, and then... turned around and sold it to you. He never pretended to be sincere. He despised you in his heart, and immediately showed that he despised you very much.
In fact, many times, the person who deceives you is not the person who is unreliable, but the person who thinks he can be relied on.
This person who thinks he is reliable is often the one on whom people place all their hopes, and in the end, he is deceived and no one remains.
