6. Han Sanshi in one sentence
I remembered what the Min brothers said, when two groups of nobles get married, family status is the first priority, character is the second priority, and talent and learning are the last priority. As for appearance, that has to go to Sumatra.
But this honor, alas...
Don't mention family status. His name is still written on the family tree. The descendant of the Li family in Quanxi, who is a serious descendant of the eight classics, and the current King Sunzong are relatives who can be matched with each other. Don't worry.
No matter what life is like these days, their family has the blood of the old Li family, and they will naturally become the first family in North Korea.
What a character, take a look!
"You must have entered school, right? What books have you read recently?" Hong Jinglai began to ask Li Yinzhong questions in Mandarin. As a member of the royal family, fluent Chinese is the most basic thing.
At first, Hong Jinglai and Zhao Bingyuan and Zhao Zhenyi also spoke in Chinese, but when they heard the women in their families talking, they still spoke in Korean. When the children were called out, they also used Korean in their responses to their mothers.
Naturally, it is necessary to test the level of Chinese culture. At least it knows whether the attitude towards learning is correct. People who are willing to learn with their heart will not have too much perseverance.
Although Li Yinzhong should have understood what Hong Jing said, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and hesitated for a while. He waited until Li Bingyuan coughed lightly before he stumbled to answer.
"It has been seven years since I entered school, and the most recent thing I read is "Commentary on the Book of Rites"." Li Yinzhong said slowly.
But Hong Jing came to listen to his Chinese, which was really...
How to put it, it’s hard to put it into words! Generally speaking, the pronunciation is correct, but it is very similar to the kind of English that I used to pronounce with Chinese characters when I learned English. It sounds like it, and it is the same word, but it is always a bit difficult to pronounce.
Probably because he saw Hong Jinglai frowning, Li Bingyuan also knew how much his son weighed and how he could hang out in a circle of two nobles even if he couldn't speak Chinese fluently.
But firstly, it was difficult for Li Bingyuan to teach his children directly in front of guests. Secondly, Li Yinzhong at least got the answer right, but his Chinese level was just a little bit behind.
As we all know, language is a thing. If you are thrown into London as an international student for half a year, your English will be very good. But if you study behind closed doors at home, you may learn only mute English, no matter how good you are.
At the level of the Li family, it would be unthinkable for them to talk, laugh, and have no business. If it weren’t for the fact that Li Zhenyi and Li Bingyuan, father and son, had both passed the exam and were candidates who had gone through many tests, such as written examinations and interviews, the two of them would have been
His Chinese may not be any better than that of Li Yinzhong.
After all, Li Yinzhong probably didn't have the learning environment except for the men in his own family who could speak Chinese to him. To reach this point, it was pretty good.
"Can you dabble in horse riding? Bow and arrow? Literature and art (calligraphy), etc.?"
"Never!" The answer was honest.
"Since we are clan members, the etiquette cannot be discarded!" Hong Jinglai was somewhat moved.
This is like introducing cram schools and after-school interest classes to the parents of naughty children during the Chinese New Year. Hong Jinglai is very happy to do this by giving Wang Houxiong, Qidong, and Huanggang rolls to the naughty children.
He called Li Jichu, who was guarding the horse, and went back to Hanyang City to buy a pair of Hui ink, a set of Hu brushes, and two high-quality fine xuan knives. Then there was a birch bow and twenty arrows. This one is a little harder to buy, but it's not that exaggerated.
.
Since matchlocks, also known as shotguns, were introduced to North Korea, most of the North Korean officers and soldiers, who were originally famous for their white-clad cavalry shooting, have been replaced by shotgun soldiers. After all, shotguns are easier to use than bows and arrows, or easier to train.
Li Yinzhong's face really showed a sad look at this time. It was obviously very difficult for him to study and learn Chinese, but he never thought that Mr. Hong would pop up out of thin air, give him gifts here and there, and enroll him in several cram schools at once.
"Why don't you thank Judge Hong quickly!" His father only knew that these things were not cheap, and Hong Jinglai must have come out of "good intentions"!
"Thank you, Master Hong!"
"Hahahahaha, easy to talk about." Hong Jinglai actually wanted to go up and rub the head, but he looked at the long hair that had not been washed for a while and was shiny...
It is no longer difficult for this half-year-old child who pretends to be sixteen but is actually only fifteen. Hong Jing has just seen what Li Yinzhong looks like. Think about it, he will be a junior high school student in the future, and he will marry the daughter of the Min family soon.
Home.
After the questioning, the children seemed to have been granted amnesty. They were not allowed to eat at the same table as the adults. Hong Jinglai bought an extra chicken to take care of these children. Their mother would make some for them at home.
Food. For these children who may only be able to drink grains and brown rice porridge on weekdays, having a meal of meat is better than Chinese New Year.
There is nothing interesting about the rest. Although there are four sons, only Li Yinzhong will be prosperous in the future, and the others will eventually be lost in history and lost to everyone.
After chatting and drinking with the Li family father and son, apart from the slightly more expensive gift given to Li Yinzhong, the other children also gave some odds and ends, which was a good deal. I left them name cards and addresses, and agreed that if I could in the future,
Return to Hanyang and start walking again.
After leaving the cheerful Li family, Han Sanshi now had nothing on his back and was traveling much more easily. The horse that followed Hong Jing was thoughtful. After thinking for a while, he approached Hong Jing.
"Gelang, I want to ask you something."
"kindness?"
"I remember that Superintendent Min said that the clan is sparse. Does this mean that there are no men in the royal family?"
"Yes, except for His Highness, there are no adult men alive in the Xianzheng Temple, the Ying Temple, and the Jing Temple. Why do you suddenly ask this?"
As if Han Sanshi was sure, his already low voice was lowered even lower, and Hong Jinglai almost leaned down to hear it clearly.
"Could it be that the youngest son of the Li family is going to be taken into the palace?" Han Sanshi looked a little excited.
"What? Why do you think so?" Hong Jinglai was stunned at first.
"Brother, what did you just say!" Han Wushi followed the horse, but he had a good ear and clearly heard what his elder brother said clearly.
"The Lord has no brothers, and he has not seen Xiang'er for two years after getting married. And Gelang obviously doesn't know this child, but he comes to make friends with him. Isn't that what he means?" Han Sanshi looked louder when he saw that there were no other pedestrians around.
"Don't say it! It's better to speak cautiously!"
Hong Jinglai didn't expect that Han Sanshi was following him around on errands. In addition, he was a safe and thoughtful person, so he could actually connect the two before and after, and speculate to this point.
King Sunjong only gave birth to two sons, both of whom were short-lived. They died before King Sunjong. King Heonjong who succeeded him was also a short-lived, and died without any heirs after living for twenty-two years.
Although Li Yinzhong had already passed away at that time, none of Li Yinzhong's sons was chosen as the member of the Chineda clan.
The Min family is making arrangements for their daughter in advance. Even people like Han Sanshi understand the current situation of the old Li family. It is impossible for other big families not to make arrangements, and there may even be other people who have been suddenly brought in with huge dowries.
Wife hit.
