Southerners

When Song Zhi secretly thought that something was wrong, the door had already been opened.

Chuo Man didn't enter the room, but stood at the door and looked in. Seeing Song Zhi who was reading in front of the desk, Chuo Man put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and ordered briefly: "Come out."

Song Zhi knew that this young lady had a bad temper, so she came out obediently and saluted: "I have met Miss Chuoman."

Only then did Chuoman recognize Song Zhi: "It's you?"

"The Chinese teacher that Hazier hired is you?"

Song Zhidao: "It's just lack of talent."

There was suspicion and distrust in Chuoman's eyes: "You are so young, why should you teach Hazier? Could it be that you deceived Hazier?"

Song Zhi: "How can a villain fool the young master?"

Chuoman thought the same, and asked, "What do you teach Hazier?"

Song Zhidao: "The young master ordered me to teach him calligraphy today."

Chuoman looked Song Zhi up and down again: "Why did Hazier ask you to teach him? Nowadays, there are many celebrities and scholars everywhere. You are a boy who has not reached the top. Where do you have the qualifications to teach him?"

Song Zhi: "The villain doesn't know either."

Chuo Man curled her lips, as if she was quite dissatisfied with the Chinese teacher, she turned to the boy and asked, "Where's Hazier?"

The boy replied: "We are meeting guests in the flower hall."

Chuo Man nodded, and planned to go to the flower hall to find Meng Huan, but before leaving, she turned her head and glanced at Song Zhi, her eyes full of disgust.

"You come with me too."

When Chuoman arrived at the flower hall, he realized that Meng Huan's meeting today was not an ordinary guest, but the prince's true gold, so he immediately forgot about Song Zhi, and ran to the flower hall with his skirt in hand.

Zhenjin is the second son of the emperor, born of Empress Chabi.The eldest son of the ancestor, Duozhi, died early, and the prince was the eldest son of the direct line. He was registered as the prince eight years ago, when he was in his thirties.

Now eight years have passed, the crown prince is in charge of the Zhongshuling, his government is fair and generous, and he is deeply trusted by the ancestors.However, he respected Confucianism and respected Confucian officials, so he often had political disagreements with his ancestors.However, Shizu and Empress Chabi had a deep relationship, and the prince was very filial, so Shizu was tolerant of this son in many ways.

In February of this year, Empress Chabi passed away, and the prince was so distraught that he almost passed out from crying. Later, he set up a villa to live in a villa to keep filial piety for his mother.

It was not often that Meng Huan saw the prince. After returning from his expedition to Japan, it was the first time he sat and talked with the prince face to face. I saw that more than half a year had passed. The prince was well-clothed and well-fed. His chin, which had been thin before, became rounder. Looked less skinny.

The two were chatting, and after a while, they heard a voice yelling outside: "Ah Buho! Ah Buho!"

As soon as Zhen Jin heard the voice, he knew it was Chuo Man. He smiled helplessly, looked at the figure rushing in from the door and said, "Chuo Man, slow down, be careful not to fall."

Chuo Man giggled, took two steps in three steps, and threw herself into Zhen Jin's arms.

"I can't fall, I can't fall!"

Chuo Man threw herself into the prince's arms, but Song Zhi didn't go into the flower hall, but stood far outside the door with her hands down.

Chuoman is now sixteen, about the same age as Zhenjin's two daughters, so Zhenjin loves Chaoman very much.

Zhenjin pretended to be angry and said: "You are not young, and you don't have any manners at all. How decent are you bouncing around!"

Chuoman said coquettishly: "Isn't this too happy to see Ah Buhe!"

The real gold couldn't hold back, and he was happy: "It's just your sweet mouth."

Chuoman's maternal grandmother's surname is Hongjila, and she is a sister of His Royal Highness's mother, Empress Chabi. According to the calculation of the Han people, Chuoman should be called the prince's uncle.

Chuoman asked: "What is Ah Buhe talking to Hazier?"

The prince came back to his senses after hearing the words, and glanced at Meng Huan, with some worry in his eyes, but he didn't hide it from Chuo Man: "I'm talking about Ahema."

Chuoman knew a little about political affairs, and frowned when he heard Ahema: "Talk about what he does, and what bad things did he do?"

Meng Huan said, "Do you still remember Beduludin?"

Beduruddin was Ahma's nephew.

Some disgust flashed in Chuoman's eyes. Bedurudin once molested Chuoman while drunk and said he wanted to marry her.Chuo Man said: "What did he do?"

The prince said: "Beduludin was corrupt and broke the law. He embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Ahema covered it up for him." Ahma's pocket.

Chuoman had no idea about tens of thousands of taels of silver, but corruption is wrong anyway, so he said angrily, "Why didn't Ah Buhe tell His Majesty?"

The crown prince shook his head worriedly: "Ahema was originally a dowry slave of my grandparents, with the secret support of the Hongjira family. In addition, he has served the emperor for 20 years and won the trust of the emperor. The emperor will not believe it."

Chuo Man said: "Then kill him directly, so as not to cause harm to the people!"

A strange look flashed in the prince's eyes, as if he did not expect a 16-year-old girl to be so decisive, even cruel.

Meng Huan understood Chuo Man's temper very well, seeing the prince's expression changed, he smiled and said: "Chuo Man, what are you talking about, that's an official ordered by the imperial court, you can just shout and kill."

The prince breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, yes, such a little girl knows what to kill and decisive, she is clearly ignorant of world affairs, it's just nonsense.

Chuo Man said: "Hazier is so powerful, he can be chopped down and fed to wolves with one knife!"

Meng Huan couldn't help laughing.

The prince also smiled and shook his head. He raised his eyes and saw a slender Han boy standing outside the door, about 17 years old, wearing a duck egg blue cotton jacket.

The young man lowered his head, making it hard to see his face clearly, but just by his thin but straight back, one could tell that this young man was by no means an ordinary servant.

The young man looked very lively, but the bookish air exuding from his body made the prince feel good about him, so the prince pointed to Song Zhi outside the door and asked Meng Huan, "Who is that young man? What is he doing here?"

Only then did Meng Huan notice Song Zhi, and he couldn't help frowning: Why did Song Zilan come here?On the face, he said calmly: "A scholar who paints and writes in the house, just came here, and doesn't know the rules."

"Zino, go and tell Song Zilan to go back to his room and don't be an eyesore here."

Qinuo responded, and immediately walked out to the door. He didn't know what he said to Song Zhi from a distance. Song Zhi suddenly raised her head and took a look into the room.

When Song Zhi raised her head, she taught the prince to see his face clearly.

Song Zhi's skin is fair, because she is thin, her chin is pointed, her eyebrows are thin, her eyes are as black as ink, but her expression is clear and indifferent.

"Wait." The prince said to his personal attendant, "Call that boy in."

The prince's personal attendant is a Mongolian, and he is not worth a name.It was impossible for Hua to be able to follow the prince for so many years, so he was naturally alert, so he immediately went out and called both Qino and Song Zhi in.

After Song Zhi came in, she knelt down and said, "The villain kowtowed to His Royal Highness, and met Miss Chuo Man, young master."

Prince: "Get up, raise your head up."

Song Zhi raised her head according to her words.

The prince asked, "What's your name?"

Song Zhi: "The villain's surname is Song, and his first name is Zhi. The character was chosen by his father earlier, and his name is Zilan."

"Zi Lan," the crown prince read a sentence, and praised, "a good name, quite a bit of the character of a Sanlu doctor."

Song Zhidao: "Your Highness has flattered you."

Now that they were getting closer, the prince noticed the scar on Song Zhi's neck, and said, "What's the matter with your neck?"

The crown prince sat in the first place, and Meng Huan sat beside him.Song Zhi inexplicably appeared outside the door, and was called in by the crown prince again, which was beyond Meng Huan's expectation, so Meng Huan was not in a happy mood at this time, and looked at Song Zhi lightly to see how he would answer.

Song Zhidao: "The villain offends the superior, so the young master punishes him lightly."

The crown prince glanced at Meng Huan, didn't say anything, and asked Song Zhi: "I heard that you can write, how is your writing?"

Song Zhidao: "The villain is clumsy in handwriting, so he dare not use the axe."

The prince said: "It's okay, you can write it and let me have a look."

Song Zhi paused, then quietly raised her eyes to look at Meng Huan, only to see Meng Huan was looking at her indifferently, it looked the same, but there was a hint of displeasure, clearly annoyed.

But the prince's order had to be obeyed.

After the prince said a word, Zeno immediately went to prepare pen and ink.

The prince took advantage of this moment to ask, "Have you read any books?"

Song Zhidao: "Back to the prince, my family is poor, I haven't read any books, I only read the four books and so on."

The prince nodded regretfully.

At this time, the pen and ink had been prepared, and Zeno spread out the pen and paper before stepping aside.

Song Zhi held the pen with her right hand, dipped in the ink, and lifted the pen. The simple movements were performed with extra calm and elegance by him, clearly the appearance of long-term writing.

Song Zhi asked: "His Royal Highness, what are you writing?"

The prince said: "I'll take a look at what you write."

Song Zhi nodded and wrote.Meng Huan also often reads and writes, so Qinuo's ink is well ground, with even shades, and the writing is just right.

The ink color smudged on the paper following the movements of Song Zhi's hand. She wrote steadily, but moved quickly and neatly. In just a moment, Song Zhi finished writing.He put the pen on the inkstone, dried the ink, took a step back, and said, "His Royal Highness, please take a look."

The prince saw that his movements were smooth and natural, so he liked it. He knew that the handwriting must be good, so he went to look at it immediately, but after seeing it, he was stunned.

It turned out that what Song Zhi wrote was a poem, "Kai Feng".

"The strong wind comes from the south, blowing the thorny heart. The thorny heart is young, and the mother is tired.

Kaifeng from the south, blowing the thorny salary.My mother's holy goodness, I have nothing to do with it.

Is there a cold spring?Under Jun.There are seven sons, and the mother works hard.

Suihuan yellow bird, carry its sound well.There are seven sons, don't comfort the mother's heart. "

But the prince is worthy of being a prince, although he was aroused by this poem, he was only stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Song Zhi with his usual expression, and asked, "The words are good, but why did you write this poem? "

Chuo didn't understand Confucianism, so he couldn't understand the meaning of the poem, so he blinked blankly and asked Meng Huan quietly: "Hazier, what's wrong with this poem?"

Meng Huan said in a low voice, "This is a poem about my mother."

Chuoman was taken aback, and looked at Song Zhi even more strangely.Who doesn't know that after His Royal Highness was filial to his mother, Empress Chabi cried many times after her death. After more than half a year, it was easy to recover. There are still people who dare to write such poems in front of him. This is not for His Royal Highness. Are you happy?

Meng Huan thought more, and was almost furious at this moment. Looking at Song Zhi's gloomy eyes, he thought to himself: "Is this idiot trying to use this method to build a bridge for the crown prince? Why did you pretend to be noble earlier?" If you don’t serve as a great Yuan, now your true colors are revealed?”

After all, the prince has been in a high position for a long time. Although he just looked at Song Zhi indifferently, and his tone was very flat, there was pressure for no reason, and the aura of a high-ranking person was fully revealed.Facing such a prince, if he said a wrong word, he would die without a place to bury him.

Song Zhi knelt down on the ground with a "thud", lowered her head, and said, "Your Highness, forgive me."

The author has something to say:

Note: ⑴ Hongjishi in the Yuan Dynasty was a very powerful surname, details can be found on Baidu.Queens are generally surnamed Hongjila, Antong's mother is surnamed Hongjila, the younger sister of Queen Chabi, and Chuoman is the daughter of Antong's younger sister, so there is a relationship between Chuoman and the prince, and they are still in the third generation within it.

(1261) Ahema was the dowry slave of Empress Chabi's father according to Chen. His early life is unknown. He was appointed as Shangdu in the second year of Zhongtong (18).

⑶ "Kaifeng" comes from "The Book of Songs? Beifeng". "Mao Poems Preface" says it is a tribute to a filial son, but it is also said to be a tribute to a mother.

⑷ There is a bug. The crown prince is actually not in Dadu in September. He went to the north and will come back in October.
