"Please sit down. They will bring some ice soon." Zhao Qingrui quickly invited them to sit down and rest. She had saved some saltpeter over the years just to make some ice.
"My little sister even had someone dig an ice cellar?" Yin Man was surprised. Even in the palace, not everyone could afford an ice cellar.
"No, digging an ice cellar is too troublesome. I have other ways to make ice." Zhao Qingrui shook his head mysteriously. In the Qin Dynasty, saltpeter is mostly used to make elixirs, and some is used as a medicinal material.
Fusu looked at Zhao Qingrui more. His little sister looked very mysterious. From what he had seen on the road, the cooking methods of the food she brought, the saddles and stirrups, and the current method of making ice, these were all things he had never seen before.
Soon, the iced drink was served. It was mung bean shaved ice. There weren't many things to eat in that era.
"Eat quickly, it's delicious." Zhao Qingrui scooped a large spoonful of food into her mouth with a wooden spoon. She felt so satisfied that it seemed as if all the heat in her body had dissipated at once.
After taking a bite, it was sweet and icy. Yin Man's eyes lit up and she started eating quickly.
"It's delicious, right? My cook can make a lot of delicious food, so you can eat as much as you want in the future." Zhao Qingrui looked at the two of them with a smile.
"It's really good, a holy product for relieving summer heat." Fusu nodded seriously.
After the housekeeper cleaned up their yard, Zhao Qingrui let them rest first. She was tired after traveling for such a long time.
——————
Zhao Qingrui slept until the evening. When he woke up, Fusu was sitting in the school on Zhuangzi's property, asking Zhao Wen some questions.
Yin Man was in the backyard, sitting on the swing that Zhao Qingrui had made before, having a lot of fun playing alone.
After hearing the housekeeper's report, Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched. Aren't they all tired?
Zhao Qingrui was too lazy to care about Fusu. Zhao Wen had enough ability to deal with Fusu.
When they arrived at the backyard, Yin Man was holding a small dried fish in one hand and the swing rope in the other, with a maid beside her swinging for her.
"Little sister, your swing is so fun. When we return to the palace, I want to make one for my palace." Yin Man asked the maid to stop and walked down excitedly.
"As long as you like it." Zhao Qingrui also sat on it. It was quite interesting to sit here and play when he had nothing to do.
Yin Man helped Zhao Qingrui push the swing. She had been playing on it for a while.
"Little sister, how did you come up with this idea? This is so fun." Yin Man couldn't let go of the swing.
"I saw others playing with this, so I asked the carpenter at home to make it." Zhao Qingrui said casually.
"There are so many fun things in your yard. I want to live here." Yin Man said with emotion while pushing the swing. Her little sister really knows how to enjoy herself.
Zhao Qingrui took a bite of the dried fish Yin Man had fed him and said generously, "This is easy. You can come over anytime. That yard will be yours from now on. You can come whenever you want."
"Oh, right, I saw Brother Fusu went to your farm. He just couldn't sit still. He read a book in your study for a while, then someone took him back to the farm. It's been an hour, and he still hasn't come back."
"I already know about this. There is a school in Zhuangzi, and he is discussing academic matters with the teacher there." Zhao Qingrui had a faint smile on his face.
At this moment, Fusu was listening to Zhao Wen's lecture. These were things he had never heard before. Mr. Zhao's lectures were humorous and witty. The classroom was full of students, many of whom were from the Mohist school.
Although he was shocked at first, he soon immersed himself in the knowledge that Zhao Wen explained, which he had never heard of before.
This afternoon's lecture by Zhao Wen was about judicial affairs. He talked about the purpose of legislation and used some laws from the Qin Dynasty as examples to analyze their pros and cons.
The punishments of the Qin Dynasty were quite severe, but its purpose was to better rule the country and enable it to develop better.
After class, Fusu still had a lot of things he didn't understand, so when he asked questions, Zhao Wen would explain them to him carefully.
"Is that Master Fusu? He does look familiar." Han Xin and Yan Shuang were walking together. Han Xin turned around and looked at Fusu who was still asking Teacher Zhao questions. He had heard of Master Fusu's reputation for virtue.
"Yes, Prince Fusu is kind and easy to talk to. Even if you say something wrong in front of him, he will not punish you without any hesitation." Yan Shuang had a very good impression of Prince Fusu.
"Three years ago, I accidentally bumped into Master Fusu, and he personally helped me up."
"Prince Fusu used to..."
Seeing that Yan Shuang was about to talk endlessly again, Han Xin quickened his pace.
He had not anticipated Zhao Qingrui's identity. He had not expected that she was actually His Majesty's daughter.
However, this also made him feel more confident that she definitely had the ability to send him to the military camp.
After he finishes learning everything he needs to learn with Teacher Zhao, he can go to the military camp he has always longed for.
When he thought of this, Han Xin was filled with motivation.
During this period of time, he learned a lot from Zhao Wenxue, which also made him more confident.
Zhao Wen's erudition is the consensus of all the students in this school. He seems to know everything, and he has perfect solutions to various questions they ask.
Zhao Wen's erudition not only conquered the students in the school, but also conquered Fusu.
When Fusu returned, it was already dark.
"Brother, what happened? Why did you come back so late?" Yin Man joked.
Fusu sighed, "I have indeed gained a lot. I met a learned gentleman at my sister's farm."
"Little sister, where did you find this Mr. Zhao? Such a great man is actually unknown." Fusu was heartbroken. Such a great man should be famous all over the world, but now he is teaching in this small place.
"He is a disciple of my master. He only likes to teach, so I set up a small academy for him and let him teach here." Zhao Qingrui made up some nonsense. Anyway, they couldn't find out.
As for Zhao Wen’s household registration, it was handled personally by my father’s people, so he is not an illegal resident.
"Is there anyone with such a strange hobby?" Yin Man tilted her head. The way Brother Fusu seemed to admire Mr. Zhao so much made her more curious.
"My little sister has a teacher?" Fusu became even more curious.
"I know this. My younger sister told me that her teacher knows the past and the future, and knows astronomy and geography. It was because our father knew the future that he sent Hu Hai to raise pigs." Yin Man immediately exaggerated and told Fusu about Zhao Qingrui's mysterious master.
The more he listened, the more something seemed wrong. Fusu widened his eyes. This was too outrageous.
