"Master, is this foundation building?" Zhu Houzhao held the pen sadly, with tears in his eyes. The pen felt like a heavy weight in his hand, and the hand holding the pen was trembling slightly.
Liu Chengfeng sat on the edge and drank tea, and said seriously: "Yes, this is building the foundation. Heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to this person. He must first work hard on his mind and body. Reading and literacy is building the foundation. Wait for you to explain.
Once you have achieved a little success and your mind has been sharpened to an indestructible state, Master will teach you how to work hard on your muscles and bones, and on how to train your skin and bones. Also, don’t be lazy. Copy this Analects first today, and memorize it while copying, otherwise Master will
You will never be able to master the unique Wang Ba Quan."
Liu Chengfeng's principles were explained one after another. How could Zhu Houzhao know that his master was taking the opportunity to take revenge? On one side was the most annoying thing about reading and literacy, but on the other side was the bastard boxing. Zhu Houzhao hesitated and said: "Okay,
I must work hard and sharpen my will to learn this magical skill so that I can pass on Master's legacy."
Zhu Houzhao held the pen tightly and was about to copy the Analects of Confucius spread out on the table. However, he hesitated for a moment, raised his head again, and said in a clear voice: "Master...I...how can I remember if I can't read..."
"Illiterate?" Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Liu Chengfeng knew this apprentice's net worth. It would not be an exaggeration to say he was rich in millions. Just by looking at his entourage when he went out, he could tell that he was very rich.
Wealth means noble family background. How could such a person be illiterate? Did this guy have parents but not education from his parents? Whose parents are so irresponsible!
Liu Chengfeng cursed in his heart, but began to sympathize with Zhu Houzhao, thinking that although Zhu Houzhao was of noble birth, he was probably a concubine or was not pampered by his parents, and their education was very laissez-faire. How did he know that the current Ming prince was a bastard?
He has been a stubborn person since ancient times. The current emperor has invited many Confucian teachers to teach him. It is a pity that Zhu Houzhao has been forced to study for most of his life. He is still semi-literate and does not know half of the words in the Analects.
Zhu Houzhao is stubborn, but he has capital. He is the only son of the current emperor and empress. Although the princes, tutors, young tutors, and ministers are very talented, they don't listen. What can you do to him?
? Not to mention that a few prince teachers could not control him, even in front of the current emperor, Zhu Houzhao still dared to go to the house to unveil the tiles. It would be strange if such a guy was not illiterate.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but shook his head, and asked a literary official to teach Zhu Houzhao how to read first. Zhu Houzhao was determined to learn Wangbaquan, and actually followed it seriously.
Compared to Zhu Houzhao, Liu Chengfeng was much more relaxed. He stretched out and walked out of the lobby. He saw Liu Jin and others waiting outside. When Liu Jin saw Liu Chengfeng coming out, he trotted over with a smile and said: "Liu Jin"
Baihu, my young master..."
Liu Chengfeng felt a little warm when he saw Liu Jin. Although this person spoke a little bit eccentrically, his eyes were very clear, his manners were not vulgar, and he was even more careful in his speech. There was an excessive cautiousness about him, and he was almost impossible to fault.
Something went wrong.
Liu Chengfeng smiled at him and said, "Are you talking about Hou Zhao? Hou Zhao is studying and literacy right now. Don't go in and disturb him."
"Reading and literacy..." Liu Jin was stunned, the prince actually studied? Isn't this a big joke? Liu Jin has been serving Zhu Houzhao for some years, and he knows Zhu Houzhao's temper very well. When did the prince read it seriously?
Read the book?
Just when Liu Jin was puzzled, Commander-in-Chief Chen Hongyu happened to come back from patrolling the fireworks alley. When he saw Liu Chengfeng, he quickly came over and saluted Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng asked him: "What? Nothing happened."
Bar?"
Chen Hongyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, nothing happened. However, two young men were arguing in a brothel. The brothers rushed in and dragged them out and handed them over to Shuntian Mansion."
Liu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Baihu Office was still waiting for improvement, it was finally on the right track. Liu Chengfeng felt relaxed. He suddenly remembered something and said to Chen Hongyu: "Mr. Chen Qi
What do you usually eat at home?"
Chen Hongyu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Liu Chengfeng to actually care about his life problems. He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. This was a good sign, which showed that adults from hundreds of households were very concerned about his family. It is natural for a boss to care about his subordinates.
It's a joyful thing. Besides, the status of the leader of the Hundred Households is extraordinary, and there are countless big figures behind him. Now he has grabbed the biggest money bag in the capital. He can be said to be the most powerful person, and he is even more generous than those of the Thousand Households.
Chen Hongyu admired Liu Chengfeng from the bottom of his heart. He was flattered and said: "I walk around a lot outside, and my physical strength is exhausted quickly, so I usually eat mostly pasta when I go home. Occasionally, I will cut a few kilograms of beef to go with wine. At home,
I did hire a cook, but... hehe..."
Chen Hongyu started talking and couldn't hold it back. He kept talking about the disadvantages of the chef he hired. Liu Chengfeng interrupted him and asked, "Have you eaten bacon recently?"
"Bacon?" Chen Hongyu said, "I don't eat this very often."
Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said: "Tomorrow I will give you dozens of kilograms of bacon. In addition, I will give you some lotus seeds, red dates and so on. You can take it back and eat it."
Chen Hongyu couldn't help but feel more flattered, and said: "This... How can I let you give me something to me?" He shook his head like a rattle, and continued: "No, no, absolutely not. Sir, I only care about you. I just want you to give me something."
If you can understand it with your heart, you will not get reward for your efforts..."
But Liu Chengfeng insisted on sending it, but Chen Hongyu didn't dare to accept it. After rejecting it several times, Liu Chengfeng sighed and said: "I thought we were good friends, so I gave you some worthless things. If you don't
If you accept it, wouldn’t it mean that you don’t give me face?”
Speaking of this, Chen Hongyu had no choice but to accept it. He quickly said: "I'm sorry to have to spend money on you." But in his heart, he was thinking, you gave me bacon, how could I not be filial? Okay.
, I will think of ways to prepare some gifts when I go home from duty. Your Excellency gave me more than ten kilograms of bacon. I can’t accept this as a shabby gift. He is a scholar, so he had better be elegant, but he can go to the antique shop to find some.
Gold and silver jewelry or blue and white porcelain bottles.
Liu Chengfeng said hello to him and went to sign the mortgage room again. Chen Hongyu was still thinking about returning the gift and was in a daze.
In the signing room, Secretary Wang was burying his head in the paperwork. Suddenly he saw Liu Chengfeng coming in quietly. Secretary Wang quickly put the pen in his hand into the pen holder, stood up and said, "Why are you here, sir?"
Liu Chengfeng pressed his hands and said: "I am just walking around casually, you sit down and talk. Secretary Wang, your place is quite quiet." He put his hands behind his back and looked at a fake painting against the wall with interest.
Official Wang laughed and said, "I wonder if you have any advice?"
"It's nothing, I just came to ask, does Mr. Wang like to eat bacon? Where about lotus seeds? Where about red dates? Or longan, celery..."
"..."
…………………………………………………………………………
Forbidden City, Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Like the cabinet of the outer dynasty, the Si Li Jian is just an inconspicuous small courtyard. It is said to be a yamen, but it is actually not big. Compared with the economic factory not far away, it is really a world of difference.
It's just that the eunuchs who come in and out here are all very cautious, as cautious as they need to be. There are already many eunuchs hunched over waiting near the ceremonial supervisor.
If the cabinet is the center of the outer court, then here it is the privy council of the entire inner palace. Although the current emperor is diligent in his work, even with his three heads and six arms, it is impossible to cover everything. The cabinet's memorials passed through the General Secretary except for some important
When those were sent to the emperor, most of them were handled by eunuchs Bingbi and Zhangyin.
Under the dim light, the old eunuch sitting at the head of the desk was writing furiously, not knowing what to write. Standing next to him was a young eunuch with an indifferent expression, polishing the paper carefully for him.
The atmosphere in the inner hall of the ceremonial prison was finally broken. Eunuch Liu could only kneel under the inner hall, crying with snot and tears: "It's the Za family who are confused. Not only did they throw away the fireworks in the alley, but they also made people laugh.
The face of the Anti-Security Factory has been completely disgraced to the Zajia family, so please punish me."
The lights were dim and the old eunuch's face could not be seen. He seemed to be indifferent to Eunuch Liu's words. His pair of cloudy eyes were still staring at the memorial on the table. There was no expression on his face. His gray hair and dark bags under his eyes looked...
He looked very old, and his lumbar spine was hunched, as if his entire body was photographed on the document.
"Mr. Factory, it's also the fault of Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, that things have reached this stage. He is a very evil man. He was probably the instigator of what happened in Fireworks Alley. Now he is working against us in the East Factory. He is not going to blame us."
Dongchang takes it seriously, but does not take the factory father seriously." Eunuch Liu was still chattering.
The old eunuch's writing suddenly paused, but he still didn't raise his head and just said: "You deserve to die!"
These three words were spoken very calmly, as if chatting about family affairs, with a relaxed tone. But when Eunuch Liu heard it, his whole body felt as if he had been shocked by an electric shock. He was so frightened that he kowtowed heavily on the floor tiles, coughing on his forehead.
There was blood: "I know the crime, please punish the factory owner, the factory owner..."
The old eunuch began to write again, even though Eunuch Liu knelt until his head was bruised and bleeding, but he was still indifferent.
