Chapter 4: Su Mingjue

next door to Mr. Jade Face

turned around and saw that there was also a courtyard next door.

The scale of his house seemed a bit larger than his, standing side by side. It was not obvious from a low position. Su Mingjue climbed to the second floor of the main house to find out the other party's main courtyard.

It was a five-entry courtyard. Compared with his neat furnishings, the house opposite seemed much more casual. The entire courtyard should have been greatly improved, and the layout was different.

There is a row of fences near his main house. There are several plum trees planted in front of the house, and a pond flows beside it. Some flowers and plants are planted by the water, and there are fallen petals floating in the water. The scenery is natural and elegant, and it looks natural and elegant. Chic.

Su Mingjue commented to himself that this style really matched him very well!

At night, Su Mingjue was lying on the canopy bed in white pajamas, rolling around, unable to sleep.

Su Xiaoliu stayed outside, listening to the sound of pie baking on the bed, and asked: "Master, I'm thirsty."

Although Rong Zheng assigned two maids to him, Su Mingjue still felt that there was a difference between men and women, so she served him For daily life matters, he still followed Su Xiaoliu.

Firstly, the master and servant were familiar with each other, and secondly, there was not much age difference between him and Su Xiaoliu, so they chatted like ordinary friends, which made Su Mingjue feel much more at ease.

Tossing and turning, Su Mingjue simply lifted the quilt, curled up and sat up from the bed with her legs crossed.

"Nothing, I just can't sleep. My back hurts from sleeping in this bed."

After hearing this, Su Xiaoliu opened the curtain outside the bed and walked in. Then he opened the cover of the lantern placed beside the bed to cover up the candlelight. , the candlelight that was still dim just now became much brighter.

After the room was much brighter, Su Xiaoliu walked to Su Mingjue's side and said, "The beds in this capital are too stiff. I think the young master is not used to sleeping on them. I will try to make this bed softer."

Thinking of this, he said with some disdain: "Human People say that the capital is good, but this bed and the house are not as good as ours in Jinling City."

Su Mingjue rested her head on her hands, looking a little bleak, "Okay, this is the capital, so be more careful what you say. "

Su Mingjue is actually not pretentious. It's just that he, a modern person, sleeps on a soft spring bed. Suddenly, he sleeps on a hard wooden bed in ancient times. His body can't adapt to it, so he can't help but be picky about the bed.

When he was in Jinling City, after the people in the mansion knew about this, they put five layers of soft cushions on the previous bed before he could accept it.

He was going to the capital to study. It was a long journey and it was not suitable to mobilize troops. In addition, Su Shiqian was unwilling to spoil him, so he didn't bring many things with him and basically traveled lightly.

As a result, he didn't bring anything he usually used.

Su Xiaoliu pulled up Su Mingjue's sleeves and took a closer look at the red marks on his body. Some tears fell from his eyes, "Master, look at the red marks on your body. Xiaoliu will definitely find a suitable match for the young master tomorrow." The soft cushion."

Su Mingjue's face looked a little unnatural when he saw the red marks on his body. A man sleeping on a hard bed looks like this, and he must be said to be a bit squeamish.

Fortunately, Su Xiaoliu didn't notice any difference. Su Mingjue also felt a little speechless about the original body's physique. If the skin on his body was touched casually, deep red marks would appear.

It seems that now that I have just slept a little harder, I have started to get red marks on my body, making me look like a noble pea boy.

Su Mingjue coughed a few times in embarrassment, then pulled Su Xiaoliu to the bed and asked, "How is the matter I asked you to inquire about today?"

Seeing that the topic had changed, Su Xiaoliu hurriedly replied, "According to the young master's instructions, As you said, I went to inquire around, and Mr. Rong was well received among the public." Su Mingjue was not surprised to hear this, but also wanted to know what kind of person he was, and asked, "How do you say this?" Su

Mingjue was not surprised to hear this.

Xiao Liu told everything he had found out, "Master Rong Zheng is usually good at charity, gentle and modest, and is deeply loved by the people in the neighborhood. And because of his unparalleled appearance, everyone calls him Master Jade Face behind his back." "

"Young Master with a jade face!"

Su Mingjue recalled seeing Rong Zheng during the day. He was as good as discussing and polishing. This appearance really deserves this praise.

"If you are so good-looking, wouldn't you be sought after by others?"

"How do you know, Master, that during the Lantern Festival, Mr. Rong is the one who receives the most hairpins?"

During the Shangyuan Festival in Daxing Dynasty, there was a custom of wearing hairpins to express love. , so the more flowers you send, the more popular you are.

Su Mingjue chuckled, "He's so handsome, it's strange that he's not liked by others!"

"However, although Mr. Rong is liked by others, he doesn't go out easily."

Of course, he looks like a star. You can't go out without being surrounded by a bunch of people.

Su Mingjue listened for a long time and heard some praises about Rong Zheng's beauty, and couldn't help but wonder, "You have been asking for so long, and you have found out so many things."

"Oh, Mr. Rong is currently studying at Luming Academy, but he is in Shangshe "

Su Mingjue murmured, "Shangshe sounds like a top student!"

Daxing Dynasty adopted the "three-shelf promotion method," which simply means dividing the class into "outer house", "inner house" and "shangshe". Three types.

It’s a bit like modern divided-class teaching. In ancient academies, teaching is not divided into grades. Therefore, freshmen will first study in a class after entering the school, which is somewhat similar to a basic class. This class is called "waishe". After studying for a period of time, Those who pass the exam and have excellent grades will enter the "inside house", which is similar to the advanced class. If the "inside house" is good enough, they will be directly arranged to study in the "upper house", such as the modern Tsinghua class or experimental class

. Xiaoliu suddenly heard a new word and asked curiously: "Master, what is a top student?"

Su Mingjue touched his nose. Biao's problem of speaking modern dialect from time to time could not be corrected. Fortunately, Su Xiaoliu was not alert, otherwise he would have said this There is a risk of exposing it.

He pursed his lips and explained in an easy-to-understand manner: "It's like Rong Zheng who is very good at reading. "

After Su Xiaoliu heard this, he felt that his young master was also very smart, and said immediately, "Master, when you enter Luming Academy, you will also be a top student!"

Su Mingjue: "..."

Thank you for reading. Look at me, a idiot from modern times who can't even write well with a calligraphy brush. It

's pretty good if I don't fall behind.

However, why has this capital never heard of the Imperial Academy?

Su Mingjue. It felt a little strange.

Generally speaking, the highest academic institution should not be the Imperial College. How come someone as outstanding as Rong Zheng only appears in Luming Academy. Thinking of this, Su Mingjue

asked, "Why didn't Rong Zheng study in the Imperial College?"

Hearing this, he said with some confusion: "Master, don't you remember that the Imperial College was deposed ten years ago? "

Su Mingjue said in surprise: "Abolition...why was it deposed?"

"You criticized it before, saying that the dispute between the northern and southern schools of thought led to unfair imperial examinations. Later, the emperor directly deposed the Imperial College to show fairness. "

Su Mingjue held her head and pretended to forget: "Maybe I forgot. "

This original person still has such indignation.

Seeing that Su Xiaoliu was shining brightly and wanted to continue, he lay directly on the bed and said, "It's getting late, go to bed!"

"Oh, Xiaoliu, please dim the candlelight."

...

Jinyuan.

Rong Zheng was wearing a white robe and was sitting at his desk, licking ink and writing.

A man dressed in black and well-dressed raised his hands and saluted, "Young Master."

Rong Zheng said bluntly without raising his eyes, "Tell me."

The man detailed what he heard, and Rong Zheng raised his eyebrows for a long time, " I can't even sleep on a bed."

The man in black nodded, "My subordinates heard it with their own ears on the eaves."

"The King of Jinling is such a smart and strong man, but he didn't expect that his son would have such a delicate and childish heart. I really don't think so. Same."

The man in black paused and said, "Did he remove Manager Liu who we heard like that? Do you want me to put another one in?"

"No, since he is suspicious of Manager Liu. , even if you are on guard against us, you won't get anything if you put them in. Just wait and see."

The man in black nodded, "Yes."

Rong Zheng blew the note he had just written, and then rolled it up. He handed it to the man in black and said, "Pass this to King Jinling."

The man in black nodded and took it, then turned and left.
