My heart is a little soft
, cardamom has been cooked into porridge
, I gave Xu Zhiwan to teach the ceremony, probably the whole palace spread. Everywhere, in the Taixue class, they all looked at me with sympathetic eyes.
Cao Xiliang said jokingly, “Three princes, today your rate of turning heads is exceptionally high.”
I gave him a blank look, and he promptly shut his mouth, raised his hand, and said, “Forget I said anything.” It
was morning class today, but Chen Taifu, who was on duty, did not come for a long time. About a moment later, he hurried over. His face was not very good. He took out the scriptures and just read them.
Wei Ling sat behind me and whispered, “Look at Chen Taifu. Why does he look so pale? Is he sick?”
Hsu Chih-wan also lowered his voice and said, “I heard that the day before yesterday, Chen Taifu’s son was drunk and molested a good woman in the street. The matter became a big one and he was denounced by the emperor. So he’s been in a bad mood these days.” “You’re so awesome,” said
Wei Ling. “You even know that. I’ve never heard of it around my father.”
Hsu Chih-wan whispered, “I happened to be on the street that day, and I saw it with my own eyes.” “No,” said
Wei Lingqi, “I know it’s too late. How can I remember that the day before yesterday you were studying etiquette at Old Master Wu’s? How could you have gone outside the palace?”
Hsu Chih-wan said, “It was because I sneaked out of the palace that Old Master Wu sent me to your third brother.”
Wei Ling said happily, “You are a blessing in disguise.”
Xu Zhiwan said in a lower voice, “Wei Ling, you are wrong. This is beyond redemption.”
“Hsu Chih-wan!”
Chen Taifu angrily pointed his finger at her and said, “You are so naughty!”! Disregard discipline, you stand up!
“What did I say in class just now? Now tell me again!”
Chen Taifu has always been strict in teaching, and he is proud of himself and refuses to make too much of his joys and sorrows in front of others. This time the expression was so angry that even his cheeks were red with anger. He must have heard the content of Xu Zhiwan’s conversation and felt ashamed and angry.
Hsu Chih-wan stood up, bowed to Chen Taifu, and said unhurriedly, Master, what you just talked about is the fourteenth chapter of the Doctrine of the Mean, which teaches us to behave ourselves. It is the way of life to be in one’s position, to plan one’s policies, not to deceive one’s superiors, and not to conceal one’s inferiors.
Tsao Hsi-liang gave a little exclamation next to me and said, “I thought she wasn’t doing her job all day, but I didn’t think she had something.”
Chen Taifu was also slightly startled. He probably didn’t expect that Hsu Chih-wan, who didn’t seem to have been listening to the lecture, would speak clearly and logically. But Hsu’s bad breath was still hovering over his chest. He said in a deep voice, “Don’t think you’re complacent just because you can say it. It’s nothing to talk about war on paper. Tell me, can you do it yourself?!”. “The students thought they had done it,”
says Hsu Chih-wan.
Chen Taifu laughed sarcastically and said, “a student who has been rejected by more than ten bachelors is bragging that he has done his job. How dare you say that? Please teach me and let me learn from you.”
Chen Taifu laughed loudly, and the rest of the naughty students in the Taixue class also laughed. Xu Zhiwan stood in the midst of the laughter, but he smiled and didn’t care. Chen Taifu pointed at her and laughed more and more: Look at you. Even the old man blushed for you. You still have the nerve to stand here. If I were you, I would pack up my bedding early. Go home and embroider!
Hsu Chih-wan burst out laughing, and Chen said angrily, “What are you laughing at?”
Hsu Chih-wan looked at him and said honestly, “I saw the Master laugh, so I laughed too.” As soon as
this remark was made, the school was quiet, and then suddenly burst into even louder laughter. Chen Taifu was even more laughing. Cao Xiliang sighed and said to me: “I thought she was a smart person, but I didn’t think she was more stupid than a madman. There’s no medicine to save her.”
I said, “Shut up.” “Master,”
said Hsu Chih-wan, with a smile, “you said I wasn’t a natural. Did you ever do that just now?”
Although you are a master, it is impolite for you to vent your anger on your students because of your private affairs. The student answered your question seriously, but you took the opportunity to ridicule the student, which is immoral.
So the students think that the master and the students are the same person. “
” So the master laughs, and I laugh too. ” When
Chen Taifu heard this, he was so angry that he couldn’t even point his fingers steadily. He repeatedly said, “You, you, you,” but he couldn’t say anything. He wanted to be proud all his life, but today he was criticized by a small student in class. At that moment, he was so angry that he picked up the steel ruler he had put aside and was about to hit Hsu Chih-wan.
Wei Ling screamed and quickly stood up to protect them, but Chen Taifu had no time to take back his ruler and was about to hit them.
“Bang!”
I grabbed Chen Taifu’s wrist and said, “Master, you’ve lost your temper.”
The ruler stopped in midair, and by an inch, it would hit Xu Zhiwan in the face. “What are you doing?!” An angry voice shouted from the
doorway.
The night was as warm and cool as water, and the palace people in front of Taixue were busy.
Every palace person will be slightly blessed when he passes through the school, and then whisper away. Yes, I’m still laughing. At the gate of
the school, Xu Zhiwan, Wei Ling, I and Cao Xiliang knelt neatly.
To be precise, they are kneeling while copying books.
Hsu Chih-wan said, “Thank you all for your company. I, Hsu Chih-wan, remember that in the future, I will repay you with a ring of grass and a drop of water.” “Don’t say anything,” said
Wei Ling. “If you don’t finish it, you won’t be able to eat tonight.”
Hsu Chih-wan said, “Wei Ling, go back. Your father didn’t punish you for kneeling. You’re not in good health. If you kneel here for a long time, you’ll get sick.”
Wei Ling shook his head and said, “I won’t go back. My father loves me dearly. As long as I kneel here, he will certainly be reluctant to part with me. Once he is reluctant to part with me, he will let you go first.” As
they pushed and shoved each other, Tsao Hsi-liang couldn’t bear to look at them any longer. “Hey, hey, hey,” he interrupted, “why doesn’t anyone love me? It’s none of my business if you fight. Why do I have to kneel here? Hsu Chih-wan
and I scolded him at the same time: “Shut up.”
Today the father emperor and Xu big Maester rushed to the school, the original is to inspect the learning status of the students, did not expect to bump into this mess.
Father emperor read the day before yesterday to reprimand Chen Taifu’s son, today to reprimand himself, it is too harsh, afraid of hurting the old minister’s heart, intended to fool things, did not expect Xu Daxue know but flew into a rage, immediately salute to punish Xu Zhiwan.
Wei Ling said anxiously, “You can’t blame it all on Zhiwan. Master, he really made fun of Zhiwan. Father, you usually say that rewards and punishments are fair, but why are you so partial today?” When
his father saw that Wei Ling was sad, his heart suddenly softened. He hesitated for a moment and said, “I don’t think Hsu has ever..”
“Your Majesty!” Grand Ma
ester Hsu gave a deep salute and said in a deep voice, “I have no way to teach my daughter. Please punish him. If the emperor cares about my face today and connives at it, I will have no face to stand in the court again!” Say, is a deep gift.
Wei Ling was so angry that he said to Grand Maester Hsu, “Hsu Shou-fu, Zhiwan is your daughter, and she doesn’t have a mother. You don’t protect her. No wonder Zhiwan has been bullied all day!”! You only know your face, but have you ever thought about how you feel? “It is because Hsu Chih-wan is the daughter of a humble minister,” said Grand Ma
ester Hsu without changing his countenance. “Her every word and deed is the fault of a humble minister. Even if the law of the country does not punish her, the law of the family will punish her!”.
Wei Ling was so angry that he wanted to come forward to argue. Xu Zhiwan, who had been silent all the time, grabbed her sleeve.
She smiled comfortingly at Wei Ling, then straightened her sleeves and knelt down in front of her father:
“Your Majesty, I am guilty, and I am willing to accept the punishment.” As
the night deepened, the lanterns in front of the Imperial Academy lit up one after another. A little eunuch ran from the door in a hurry and knelt down in front of Wei Ling with a splash: “Princess, you..” Go back quickly. The emperor knows. He’s very anxious. He’ll say he’ll come to see you later.
Wei Ling said, “I won’t go unless I know it’s too late.”
The little eunuch was so anxious that he banged his head on the ground. “Hey, hey, hey,” said Hsu Chih-wan, “stop kowtowing. It’s not a festival. If you kowtow like this, I won’t be able to give you a reward.”
The little eunuch raised his head and stared at her in a daze. Xu Zhiwan then patted Wei Ling on the back of his hand and said, “Wei Ling, let me ask you a question. What do I usually fear most?”
Wei Ling frowned and thought for a long time. “I don’t know,” she said honestly.
Hsu Chih-wan tutted and flicked her forehead. “Silly, I’m most afraid of hunger. I’m starving to death now.”
Wei Ling said worriedly, “Yes, let’s copy it quickly. If you finish it early, you can go to eat.”
Hsu Chih-wan put his arm around her shoulder and said, “It’s all right. You don’t have to go to all that trouble. What about you? Now do me a favor. Soon we’ll all have something to eat.”
Wei Ling said foolishly, “Yes, yes, but what should I do?” Smiling
, Hsu Chih-wan said, “It’s very simple. Now you pretend to compromise and hurry back to the palace. Then your father will be so distressed that he will prepare a big table of delicious food for you. Then you eat quickly and secretly leave some snacks while they are not looking. In this way, we all have something to eat.”
He praised Xu Zhiwan for his cleverness, then got up from the ground and turned back to the palace. The little eunuch who followed her saw that she had finally agreed to go back, smiling and bowing to Xu Zhiwan. “Thank you, Miss Hsu, thank you, Miss Hsu!”
Xu Zhiwan smiled and waved his hand to show that he accepted everything.
“I didn’t think of that,” said Tsao Hsi-liang. “I didn’t think of that, Hsu Chih-wan. You look crazy and resourceful. I don’t know if you’re smart or stupid now.”
Hsu Chih-wan ignored him and said to me with a smile, “Three princes, thank you very much for today.” “It doesn’t matter,”
I said.
She said to me, “Actually, you don’t have to kneel here with me today. There’s nothing wrong with you.”
I said, “Now I am your ritual teacher. You are right about what happened today, and I am right.”. If you are wrong, I am equally guilty.
She turned and looked at me with a smile. “Do you think I’m wrong today?”
I said, “There is a mistake. The mistake is that you should not whisper about Taifu’s private affairs in Taixue class. But today’s crime is not yours.”
“When it comes to punishment, it is not you who should be punished.”
She turned away and stopped talking. After a long time, she smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. As a person, the most important thing is to be open-minded. I don’t care.”
I turned to look at her.
She only showed a side face, bright and clean as jade, and the broken hair between her forehead flew gently, outlining a warm outline.
Xu Zhiwan, in fact, is not as heartless as she said on the surface.
Today she pulled Wei Ling, and when she knelt down slowly in front of her father and Grand Maester Xu, the corners of her mouth were raised, but there was a little crystal light in her drooping eyes. She didn’t cry when the
whole room teased her, she didn’t cry when Chen Taifu attacked her, and she didn’t cry when her father came in to scold her.
But she wept when Grand Maester Xu righteously begged for punishment.
I’m the only one who saw it.
I replied softly, “Yes.”
My heart began to soften a little.
