Chapter 22
Today, Xuanfu got up early and was used to eating breakfast on the way, so he arrived at school early. If Dad hadn't gone in before, he was a little afraid of the teacher. Dad didn't say it, but Xuanfu could see it.
"Let's go in and take a look together." Xu Xiaoman said.
Many people have big question marks on their heads.
Something is wrong. Dad looked full of energy this morning, but something is wrong. He used to think that the two fathers had a good relationship, but... it seems to be related to him.
"Dad, you are so happy today."
"Yes, yes." Xu Xiaoman felt that his Duoduo was obviously very smart, but he was just not good at memorizing. Look, how clever he is. He guessed that he was unusual today. What a keen observation. "Today, a new teacher came."
Manyufu: ...Is this good news?
Master Hu has already made him overwhelmed, and now there is another one coming. How can he cope with it?
Are you planning to go from primary school to junior high school now?
Xu Xiaoman listened to Zhong Yun bragging for a long time yesterday about how interesting and not rigid Yan Ning was, and that his teaching should be more flexible than that of Tutor Hu. In fact, it was good enough if he didn't have to memorize books. Duoduo didn't need to take the imperial examinations or write beautiful articles. It was enough for him to be able to read and write letters.
"You'll know when you go in."
He trusted Zhong Yun, but didn't know how to give his son a promise.
Manyu Fu's curiosity was aroused by his father, and it was inevitable that he was looking forward to the changes, so he walked in happily with his schoolbag on his back. Xu Xiaoman also walked in. Wang Yuanyuan walked at the end with a lunch box. The three of them went up the stairs and saw many students at the entrance of the main hall.
There are ten doors in Chongming Hall, which are tall and wide. They are usually open during classes. The hall has high ceilings and spacious space, and the light is very good when the row of doors are opened.
When it is very cold in winter, curtains will be hung, candles will be lit in the hall, and charcoal fires will be used for warmth.
At this time, the students who had arrived early were waiting outside the hall.
"Li Ang, why are you guys standing outside instead of coming in?" Xuanyun Fu asked.
In the crowd, Li Ang turned around when he heard the voice. Xuanyue Fu was startled because Li Ang's eyes were as bright as a cat's eyes at night. He had never seen Li Ang so excited.
!
What happened?
Xuanyuefu was also curious. His father was excited early in the morning, and now Li Ang was the same.
"Hello, Lord Xu." Li Ang came over and bowed to Lord Xu, then whispered, "Teacher Hu and the new teacher Yan are in the palace. Let's wait and they will call us in later."
He knew about the new tutor, his father had just said so. Manyu Fu nodded, and when he saw that Li Ang was still very excited, he asked tentatively: "Do you like the new tutor very much?"
"Do you still remember the great scholar Yan I told you about before?!" Li Ang's eyes lit up again.
Xuanyuefu's heart skipped a beat. Okay, no need to say more, he had guessed it.
The new Grand Tutor this time is Yan Daru, who sounds very orthodox and knowledgeable just by his name.
"You are happy, congratulations."
Li Ang: "Don't be afraid, Duofu."
"I'm not that scared." Xuanyufu said forcefully in front of his father.
Xu Xiaoman just stroked the baby's hair lovingly. Duoduo was afraid of memorizing lessons in the past few days, but he was no longer afraid after entering Master Yan's school.
Soon, the palace attendant struck the bells and shouted, "Anyone whose name is called may enter the palace."
Everyone stopped chatting in low voices and waited at the door obediently.
Xuanyu Fu looked at his father, and Xu Xiaoman waved his hand to let him go. Xuanyu Fu and Li Ang stood in the line and started to call out names, all in pairs. Xuanyu Fu saw through the door that the desks and chairs in their class were actually put together.
!
I actually have a desk mate.
The teacher arranged for our seats to be changed.
Xuan Duofu was also a little excited. It was indeed a bit boring to sit alone. He really couldn't sit still. He liked to talk in class when he was a child. Now he has been holding it in for a long time. Today is really different——
"Yan Huaijin, many blessings, come in."
Xuanyuefu raised his hand: "Here, here I come." He still hasn't memorized the names of all his classmates, because there are forty or fifty people in the class. However, it's different for his deskmate.
"Yan Huaijin, it sounds pretty good."
Without seeing where his deskmate was, Xuanyifu entered the hall first. The attendant directed him to his seat. Then Xuanyifu noticed that there was a child standing next to the table - a real child, half a head shorter than him, thin and small. The child turned his head to look at him, and Xuanyifu took a breath.
This child is so beautiful.
You may see the question: Can my son be a child model? The responses below will definitely be all yes, yes, yes, definitely he can, he is definitely pretty enough to be able to do that.
"Hello, I'm Yan Huaijin."
Xuanyifu widened his eyes slightly and said, "Oh my God, this is his deskmate Yan Huaijin."
"How old are you?"
"Six."
Many blessings:!!!
He is nine years old this year, almost ten years old, and his deskmate is six years old. He was shocked and confused for a moment, with a lot of things in his mind, wondering if they had made a mistake. Yan Huaijin must not have been a student in his class before, otherwise he would definitely remember him.
Six years old, that's the level of shock for a senior in the first grade of elementary school.
Yan Huaijin had already sat down. Master Hu looked at him sternly, and Xuanyuefu felt his hair stand on end, so he quickly stopped wasting time and sat down.
After he sat down, he secretly glanced at his deskmate.
Really a little deskmate.
"Hello." Xuanfu hid his face with his arm to the side, showing a friendly smile, his white teeth dangling, and he lowered his voice and whispered, "I was really shocked just now, but I didn't mean to look down on you."
Yan Huaijin was looking straight ahead, but when he heard the voice coming from next door, he looked at Master Hu and his uncle. Master Hu looked at them, and his uncle looked at the students coming in. Yan Huaijin thought for a moment, tilted his head slightly, saw the other person's smiling face, and nodded softly.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Yan Huaijin: “Yeah.”
"I ate too." Xuanyufu had a deskmate who was a little brother, so he couldn't help but talk more. Anyway, the class hadn't started yet and the teacher was busy arranging seats for the students. He lowered his voice and moved his arm towards his deskmate, "My name is Xuanyufu."
"I know."
"You are new here. If you feel uncomfortable or don't adapt to anything, come and find me." Xuan Fu assured him. This is his little deskmate who is young and he has to take care of him.
Yan Huaijin: Although this person talks a lot, he has a good heart.
"Thanks."
"Hey, you're welcome." Xuanyufu saw that his desk mate was looking straight ahead again, so he retracted his arm. The desk mate must be a little reserved as he had just arrived.
Outside the main hall, Xu Xiaoman and Wang Yuanyuan were also satisfied. Xu Xiaoman thought that it was good that the boy could make friends with the little prodigy and be interested in school. Wang Yuanyuan was also very satisfied and said, "The little prodigy looks like a banished immortal, very good."
"How come I didn't know you can read faces?" Xu Xiaoman still held a grudge against Wang Yuanyuan for saying that she got in through the backdoor. He first said it casually, then laughed happily, "That little prodigy looks upright and studious."
After praising it quietly, they both expressed their satisfaction and looked at it for a while longer.
Xuan Duofu sat for a few minutes with his arm pulled out, and then used his arm to block his seat. The main reason was that the class had not started yet, and some classmates asked: "Should I sit here? Where are the inkstones and brushes on my desk? Oh, where are the storybooks I hid?"
Master Hu was so angry that he walked over with his beard standing on end, and scolded the student who had let the cat out of the bag, saying that he had hidden the book in private, which was outrageous and that it had tarnished the hall.
"Don't be afraid." Xuan Fu lowered his voice and said to his deskmate, "Master Hu is very strict."
Yan Huaijin looked over and he was not afraid.
Xuan Fu received a response from his deskmate. He should have explained Master Hu's strengths, but after a while, he found some incoherent words, "If you memorize your homework well, Master Hu won't make you stand in the corner. You just have to memorize more and more texts."
"Master Hu doesn't know how to delay the class."
"No extra homework will be given during the break."
Come to think of it, Master Hu is actually a pretty good person, except that he and memorizing texts are incompatible.
"Alas, I don't know if Master Yan is strict in teaching, and whether I need to memorize the text. I really don't want to memorize the text." Xuanyun Fu supported his face with one hand and looked at Master Yan secretly, "Hehe, our Master Yan is quite handsome."
Yan Huaijin was stunned for a moment, because all the scholars he met praised his uncle's knowledge, and no one had ever noticed his uncle's appearance first.
Xuanyuefu finally made eye contact with his little classmate.
The little classmate looked a little surprised. After a few seconds of reaction, he widened his eyes and realized belatedly: "Your name is Yan Huaijin?"
Yan Huaijin: …
"Master Yan's last name is also Yan, and you all arrived today." Oh my god!!! Manyu Fu was frantically reviewing what had happened in his head, wondering if he had said anything bad about Master Yan just now. Good thing he hadn't, he had only praised him. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "I was scared to death. What is your relationship with Master Yan?"
Yan Huaijin: “Uncle and nephew.”
"No wonder, no wonder, you all look good." Xuan Fu flattered him.
Yan Huaijin: Does this classmate only care about people’s appearance?
After knowing that Yan Huaijin was the nephew of Master Yan, Xuanyuefu wilted for a moment. What was the difference between this and having a deskmate who was the class teacher's son? But after a short silence, Xuanyuefu looked sideways at his deskmate again.
Given Master Hu's personality, he would not easily change the seat.
Then he will most likely have to sit with his deskmate for a long time. He could make a scene and ask his father to change seats, but his deskmate is so young and he is the first one to sit with him. If he changes seats, will the child be sensitive and think that he despises him because he is young?
Many people can empathize with me and think that there is a high probability that it will happen.
"Tinjin." whispered.
Yan Huaijin, who was sitting upright and reviewing his lessons, didn't react.
Xu Duofu called softly again: "Jinjin."
Yan Huaijin was stunned again and looked over. Xuan Xuanfu smiled with his eyes curved, and said in a tone of an older brother coaxing a child, "You won't tell Master Yan what I just said, right?"
"No." Why should I tell my uncle about something that has nothing to do with academics?
Xuanyu Fu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled even more enthusiastically, "Good boy - ahem, Hao Jinjin, we'll be friends from now on." Just don't complain.
Children don't like to be treated as children.
Respect Jinjin.
Upon hearing this, Yan Huaijin put down the book in his hand, turned his head and asked seriously, "If we are friends, do I need to do anything?"
"Huh?" Xuan Duofu was confused. "Don't you have any friends?"
Yan Huaijin shook his head and waited for Xuanyuefu to answer his question before he decided whether to be friends.
Xuanyufu: My desk mate has no friends.
Ah this.
Suddenly, he said righteously, "You don't have to do anything."
Yan Huaijin shook his head. "Although I have no friends, I also know that this way of life cannot last long."
Although the little classmate spoke in a flowery way, he was very sensible and made a lot of sense. Xuanyu Fu nodded, "You're right. I originally wanted to take better care of you since you're young. Anyway, they're all small things, like doing homework together, walking together after school, eating together, chatting together, sharing delicious snacks with you, I brought toys for you to play with when I went out, and you can also come to my house to play. And, if your classmates bully you, I can help you fight back. You don't have to pee together, if you want."
When I was in elementary school, we went to the toilet in groups during breaks.
Although they are all small things, it is true that there must be give-and-take between friends in order for the relationship to last.
When Yan Huaijin was talking to Duoyufu, he was thinking quietly, whether he could do each of the corresponding contents. In fact, he didn't understand why they had to do it together. It would be more troublesome if two people did it, and he didn't need anyone to take care of him.
But after coming to Shengdu and seeing so much along the way, his uncle didn't want him to focus only on writing and books.
"Yes." Yan Huaijin nodded.
Xuan Xuanfu smiled happily, "Okay, then we are friends."
Yan Huaijin nodded and continued reading. Then he felt something on his head. He looked sideways and saw Xuan Fu putting his hand on the top of his head and pinching his bun.
Do friends have to be like this, too? Yan Huaijin pondered.
Xuanyu Fu: No wonder dad likes to pinch it, it is really easy to pinch.
"Jinjin, just read. I won't disturb you." He lay on the desk and was quiet for a while. He couldn't help but whispered, "If I can't help but talk to you secretly in class in the future, just ignore me if you don't want to."
“I just feel a little tired of studying.”
You can do anything except studying.
When Yan Huaijin heard the word "dislike studying", his calm face showed surprise and he looked at Xuanyifu. Xuanyifu put his chin on the edge of the table, his cheeks were a little fleshy, his eyebrows drooped, and he turned to look at him and said vaguely: "I also want to make progress, but memorizing is so difficult. I can't remember the previous ones after I finish memorizing them."
"But don't worry, I won't disturb your studies."
Yan Huaijin: “No problem.”
"?"
Yan Huaijin explained: "I can review my lessons or listen to you talk, I won't disturb you."
"Oh." Xuanyufu thought, maybe because his uncle is the teacher, he can only behave well in class, and in fact, his little deskmate must be very bored too.
In short, the two of them had a very harmonious conversation when they met for the first time.
Soon the new seats for the whole class were arranged. Li Ang sat behind him. Manyu Fu was very happy because Zhou Quan was Li Ang's deskmate. That was great. There were two top students sitting in the back row. They could remind him when he was reciting.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.
The first class was taught by Master Hu, but Master Yan did not leave either, sitting in the corner of the front row with a book in his hand, very quiet. Xuan Fu looked at Master Yan for a while and then looked at the little classmate, and found that the brow bones of the uncle and nephew were very similar, but the little classmate looked more beautiful.
Master Yan is very elegant——
"Xu Xuanfu, stand up and answer the question." Master Hu knocked on the ruler.
Many blessings: "..."
"Master, I didn't hear you just now, I'm sorry."
"Then stand and listen."
Xuan Fu was standing and listening with a book in his hand. He had gotten used to it these past few days. But for some reason, today there was a little classmate who was younger than him, and now he felt a little embarrassed.
Yan Huaijin only glanced at it and then looked away, then picked up his pen to write. When Master Hu saw this, he got angry and said, "You, it's you, stand up and answer the question just now."
Xuanyu Fu looked at his little classmate with concern.
His little classmate stood up and was thin and small.
Oops.
It's all his fault.
Yan Huaijin said it in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Xuanyunfu was originally worried, but was surprised when Yan Huaijin answered. Master Hu asked a few more questions, and Xuanyunfu didn't understand some of them, but Yan Huaijin was able to answer them.
Xuan Fu secretly looked at Master Hu. Although Master Hu still looked very unhappy, he was actually very satisfied. He stroked his beard, nodded, and said, "Please sit down."
Yan Huaijin sat down. The presence of the person next to him was too strong, so Yan Huaijin tilted his head to look over. Xuan Fu's eyes were bright, and he covered his mouth with a textbook and praised silently: Great.
It's a very simple question, not a big deal, Yan Huaijin thought, but inexplicably, he felt a little happy.
It was fine to memorize the text before, but now Tutor Hu has increased the course progress and started to ask questions about the meaning of ancient Chinese texts. He also had to extend some questions and answered them in plain language. Once the question was very simple, and Fu answered it in plain language, but Tutor Hu was not very satisfied, probably because he thought he was too down-to-earth and his words were too rough.
The morning classes finally ended.
Xuanyufu stood all morning, but he was not very tired - he was used to it. After class, everyone had a new deskmate, so they didn't rush to the backyard this time, but gathered together to chat. Xuanyufu did the same, and after sitting down, he introduced the back row to his deskmate.
"This is Li Ang, this is Zhou Quan, they are both my friends."
"He is my deskmate Yan Huaijin, and Master Yan is his uncle."
Li Ang and Zhou Quan had a strong filter for Master Yan, and when they saw his deskmate's eyes shining, they were very warm and polite. Xuanyunfu was also relieved, and turned his head to give his deskmate a look that said "you can rest assured if you hang out with me".
"We're hungry, let's go to the backyard and wait for lunch." Zhou Quan said.
A few people stood up and walked out. Li Ang said, "Oh."
Manyu looked over. Li Ang: "Didn't you notice something was missing today? Master Hu didn't assign any homework."
"!!!" Xuan Xufu no longer looked dead, "I don't even have any homework, hahahaha."
Zhou Quan: "The tutor didn't come to arrange it either, so it should be gone." It was almost time for lunch.
"Oh, God." Many people left the temple and looked up to the sky, crying with emotion, "Finally, God has shown mercy. That's great. I want to have two bowls of rice for lunch today."
However, Li Ang and Zhou Quan thought that they should go over and review the questions and answers prepared by Master Hu in the morning. Although Master Hu did not assign any homework, the knowledge was theirs and they still had to pay attention to it.
"Jinjin, you are a good student, aren't you?" Xuanyunfu took his deskmate's hand and went to the backyard. "This is a small garden. In the back is the dining room. Next to it is the room for rest and nap. Behind the bamboo forest is the room for the tutor."
My little deskmate is in a higher grade at the age of six, which means he skipped a grade!
"I was worried about you in class just now. You are really amazing."
Yan Huaijin stood straight and said, "Nothing special."
"The bell will ring for lunch, so it should be a while yet. Why don't we wait in the garden before going in?" Xuan Xuanfu didn't want to go to the cafeteria now.
Everyone agreed. After sitting in the corridor, Li Ang first asked Yan Huaijin about the conversation in the morning, and Zhou Quan soon joined in. Manyu Fu: ...
Yan Huaijin didn't answer too much. He just said a few words briefly and looked at Duo Fu, who was sitting in the corridor playing with a bamboo leaf, and said, "Do you want to go to the toilet?"
"?" Xuan Fu was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that his little classmate wanted to pee, but he must not know the way and was embarrassed to go alone. He agreed decisively, just like when he was in elementary school and made an appointment with his brothers and friends to go to the toilet during breaks. It was nothing.
He also asked Zhou Quan and Li Ang if they wanted to join them, but they both shook their heads and said no.
Xuanyunfu went with Jinjin to maintain the friendship they had just made. After using the toilet and washing hands, it wasn't long before lunch. Today's lunch was steamed dumplings and some vegetarian dishes. There were two flavors of steamed dumplings, seafood and shrimp and vegetable and egg.
He cleared two sets, then slowed down on the last one.
Yan Huaijin took another look. Xuanyunfu said, "I've actually finished eating, and there are three left. It's not good to waste them."
“Eating too much will make you sleepy.”
"I know, so I'll sleep after eating. When I wake up, I won't feel sleepy during the afternoon classes." Xuanyu Fu said, thinking of the past classes, and added: "I didn't feel sleepy before because I could understand them. Now I feel sleepy."
Yan Huaijin was thoughtful. What did Master Hu say that morning that he did not understand? It was obviously very simple and shallow. It was what he had learned after one year of enlightenment. However, facing the distress of Fu, Yan Huaijin did not say these things. Instead, he said: "I have two brothers and one sister in my family."
"?" Changing the subject so quickly? Xuanyu Fu nodded and introduced himself: "I'm the only one in my family."
Yan Huaijin said: "My brothers and sisters don't like to study."
"Huh?"
"My eldest brother likes Lu Ban's art, my second brother is good at painting, and my third sister likes farming." Although Yan Huaijin is small, his eyes are calm but powerful. He said, "I am okay at studying, and they are all very good. Many blessings, you don't understand and feel sleepy, it's not because you are stupid."
Many people were shocked.
Although he was cheerful and did not waste time, he had been punished to stand every day for the past week. He had clearly tried hard to memorize the lessons. Of course, it was boring and he was indeed a bit lazy, but he still learned what he had to learn. However, he kept making no progress and fell behind. Li Ang and his classmates were able to catch up, so he began to doubt himself and became anxious.
At this time, many people were encouraged by Yan Huaijin.
He was so moved that his eyes turned red. He put down his chopsticks, hugged his little classmate, patted Jinjin on the back, and said with a choked voice: "Jinjin, you are such a nice person."
God has endowed me with talents for a purpose. He could not read the serious imperial examination content, but maybe he was smart in other aspects. As the old saying goes, there are top talents in all 360 professions. He felt that he should, probably, have no problem being a prince.
He reads novels, takes history classes, and watches all sorts of random stuff on TV.
Many people were very angry about the killing of Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan. If he were the emperor, he would definitely trust loyal ministers and generals. Their families were almost broken up, and there was no unity and they were engaging in conspiracy politics.
How can the emperor still be the emperor if the country is gone?
Yan Huaijin, who was embraced by Xuanyu Fu, had a look of confusion and surprise on his originally cold and serious face, and also a little - happiness.
This is what a friend is.
Yan Huaijin stretched out his little hand and gently patted Xuandufu's back.
The author has something to say:
Duozai: Let me show you my little deskmate [show off.jpg
