Zhao Qingrui spoke eloquently, and his strategizing look made Wang Jian a little dazed, and he suddenly thought of the Majesty when he was young.
He didn't know why he suddenly had such an illusion and saw the shadow of His Majesty in a little girl.
Ying Zheng was very surprised and planned to call Feng Jie and the others to discuss the matter tomorrow. He had long wanted to clean out those corrupt officials in the court.
Once these people are dealt with, there will be room for capable people to come up.
Zhao Qingrui stopped talking only when Chunxi came over to remind him that it was time to eat.
Ying Zheng was also a little unsatisfied. If he hadn't come only in the evening every day, he would have asked more questions in detail.
The food on the table was rich, but Ying Zheng's portion was still very light.
Wang Jian silently looked at what His Majesty was eating, then looked at what they were eating, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
Come on, just eat your meal honestly. Didn’t you see Meng Yi didn’t care?
Ying Zheng wanted to eat something else, but his daughter stared at him, so he had to put his chopsticks back awkwardly.
Wang Jian had never seen such a scene before, watching His Majesty being controlled by the young princess. Even the favored Princess Yin Man did not dare to be so presumptuous in front of His Majesty.
He even forced His Majesty to lose weight. I really learned something new.
However, His Majesty's condition has indeed improved a lot. Could it be thanks to this little princess?
The food tasted delicious, something he had never tasted before.
However, the shock he received today was so great that he was a little absent-minded while eating.
After Wang Jian had dinner, he left the small courtyard.
As for Sheng Guanping, Zhao Qingrui had greeted him early on, and he knew that he would go to visit him.
Early the next morning, Zhao Qingrui asked Chunxi to carry the gifts and go to Shusun Tong's residence.
Wang Jian did not sleep well that night, and neither did Shusun Tong.
As one of the few people who knew Zhao Qingrui's identity, when he knew Zhao Qingrui was coming to visit, he had his house cleaned several times in the past two days. He was afraid that he had not entertained him well enough. What should he do if this little ancestor said something in front of His Majesty and His Majesty punished him?
When Zhao Qingrui came over, she saw Sheng Guanping and others waiting for her in the yard early in the morning, acting quite solemnly.
"Greetings, Lord Fengchang." Zhao Qingrui looked at Shusun Tong, who was standing next to Sheng Guanping. She was also surprised by his promotion. Hadn't he always been a doctoral candidate? He actually got promoted. How could this be different from the history she knew?
"Miss Zhao, you are too polite. Please come in." Shusun Tong quickly moved away. How could he dare to accept her courtesy?
The housekeeper took the gift from Chunxi's hand, and they walked towards the guest room.
Along the way, Zhao Qingrui was paying attention to the yard. The yard was not big, but it was very clean, so clean that it almost glowed.
It's so clean, could it be that Shusun Tong has some kind of mysophobia? I haven't heard Sheng Guanping mention it.
Sitting in the guest house, Shusun Tong asked someone to bring some water.
"This is the fruit grown by my uncle's family. You can try it." Sheng Guanping came over with a small plate. He thought that Zhao Qingrui might not like the food outside, so it would be better to use these fruits to treat her directly.
"Okay." Zhao Qingrui smiled, picked up a plum and took a bite. It was a little sour and not as delicious as the fruits in later generations, but it was not bad.
"I hope I haven't disturbed Lord Shusun by coming here without any warning?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Shusun Tong. Shusun Tong was still quite young at the moment, with a handsome appearance and elegant temperament, which made him very pleasing to the eye.
"No, no, Miss Zhao can come over anytime." Shusun Tong said hurriedly.
Shusun Tong was also secretly looking at Zhao Qingrui. Although this girl was raised outside by His Majesty, there was no sign of impoliteness in her manners and language. Her demeanor was graceful and no worse than those princesses in the palace.
"After you entered the officialdom, have you had any difficulty adapting to anything?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Sheng Guanping. After all, he was a friend. If this guy developed well, it would be beneficial to him.
"No, I have my uncle taking care of me. I have adapted well, you don't have to worry." Sheng Guanping said seriously. Apart from a lot of work every day, he has adapted well. With Shusun Tong taking care of him, no one dares to bully him as a newcomer.
"The main reason is that you have a good understanding and are serious and reliable in your work. Otherwise, even if I am here, you will not get recognition from others." Shusun Tong is very optimistic about his nephew.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable." Zhao Qingrui couldn't help but look at him with admiration. In her previous impression, this guy was just a lazy guy.
Is it because people have matured and become more sensible?
"It's my uncle's good teaching." Sheng Guanping felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
"I have admired Lord Shusun for a long time. It just so happens that I encountered some problems in my studies before, and I want to ask Lord Shusun for advice." Zhao Qingrui did not forget the purpose of his coming here this time, which was to conquer Shusun Tong.
"I have little knowledge, but if I know something, I will definitely help you solve it." Shusun Tong said seriously.
As a student of Confucianism, he was selected as a doctoral candidate, so his abilities must be good.
She has read a lot of books in Daqin over the years. Apart from the teacher who taught her to read at the beginning, she did not find any other teachers. She read books by herself.
It is quieter to read by yourself, without a teacher watching over you, and you don’t have to complete homework assigned by the teacher. There are many benefits.
Of course, there are also some bad aspects. Although some of them were learned by later generations, there are also many books that have been lost, and she cannot understand some of them.
As for asking her father, she had never thought about it. Her father only came back a few times a year, and the time he stayed at home in a year could be counted on one hand. How could she have the time to ask him?
Now there is a professional in front of me, so I can ask for advice. In the future, I can come and ask for more advice, and I can also improve my favorability, so it’s a two-pronged approach.
Shusun Tong could explain all the questions Zhao Qingrui asked fluently, in a simple and easy-to-understand way, citing classics. Zhao Qingrui was fascinated by his words and sighed in his heart that Shusun Tong was indeed very capable. No wonder he could climb to such a high position in the Western Han Dynasty.
Sure enough, gold will always shine.
Sheng Guanping was also fascinated by what he heard. He didn't like reading much on weekdays, so he knew some of what Zhao Qingrui said, but he basically didn't try to understand it in depth.
Shusun Tong liked to read books on weekdays. There were many bamboo slips in his study, which were his collections.
Although it was not the first time he had listened to his uncle's lectures, he had to admit that listening to his lectures was a pleasure.
In the guest house, the only sounds left were Zhao Qingrui's questions and Shusun Tong's explanations; the chirping of cicadas outside had quieted down.
In Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng also called Feng Jie, Li Si, Feng Quji, and Meng Yi over.
