Chapter 147 Five-colored cloud magpie-5

Seeing this, Chao Heng leaned sideways in Li Ruoxue's ear and whispered: "Uncle Li is really strict."

The two sisters were rubbing each other's ears, and Li Ruoxue's pretty face turned slightly red, and she glanced at her. But she didn't blame her father for being harsh in her heart.

If it were in the Song Kingdom in the past, it would be fine if I didn’t read the scriptures. But now the world is very different from before. Not only does it have Huangzhoushan, but also the masters of elders such as Lu Yunsun are still writing books. Zhao Xingde, Zhu Sen, Su Tongfu, Jin Hongfu, Wu Zilong, He Fang and other rising stars are not inferior to them. In addition, various schools of scriptures and theory seem to have suddenly exploded. Almost every few months, refreshing classics and theory are passed down from Guandong.

The reason is that Kanto canceled the imperial examination, and provincial education and academic administration have become tools for fighting for power and profit. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. The chaos in provincial education has led to a huge reduction in the scrutiny of the imperial court's theory of classics and techniques. In addition, the national turmoil, Huang Zhoushan, Zhao Xingde, Jin Hongfu and others made arguments to the impact of classics and techniques on academics. As a result, various figures and arguments appeared one after another. As long as the argumentists can make their own statements, they often have followers and even become their own family. The classics and techniques have never been so famous since the Han Dynasty, which makes people feel overwhelmed. Some people even compared them with the "Hundred Schools of Thoughts" in the Spring and Autumn Period...

Not only are scholars keen, but scholars who are studying also participate in debates among various schools with great enthusiasm. In the Song Dynasty, whether it is official or private, talking about the art of scriptures has become a trend, second only to the current affairs of the country. It would be extremely embarrassing if a scholar knew nothing about the current popular topics.

Although Li Ruoxue is a great scholar who teaches poetry, since she holds a banquet at the Bachelor's House, she will inevitably encounter occasions where colleagues discuss classics. When she sees people mention classics, she will retreat. This is not Li Ruoxue's style. At least one thing you should know is the most popular classics. Otherwise, not only will she not have face, but people with ulterior motives may also slander Zhao Xingde with this. Therefore, although she does not like classics, she will still try to like some articles from famous classics. Kanto's classics are vast, but fortunately, Li Gefei made a selection in advance, so Li Ruoxue did not need to spend too much energy on this.

"If someone in the Bachelor's House argues with you, when General Zhao returns from the war, he will settle the scores one by one with them."

"Oh, I was wrong. Could it be that you don't accept Zhao Yuanzhi's achievements in classical arts and want to compete with him?"

After leaving the two old men, Chao Heng and Li Ruoxue returned to the study together, picked up the latest volume of "Donglin Collection" on the bookshelf, and saw that the master had read it carefully and criticized her seriously. Chao Heng teased her a few words, but when she saw her silently ignore her, she was not angry. She hugged Li Ruoxue's shoulders, held her tenderness, and laughed in a low voice: "Since you don't like it, why bother with it, why bother with it, because you don't like it, why bother with it. It’s hard for me to see such boring things. Come on, let my sister see what a beautiful beauty, I feel so pitiful." Because there has been no war in Shu, the people are rich and the atmosphere is much more open than that in Guandong. Chao Heng has been in Shu for many years and was deeply infected. From Shu to Guanzhong, he lived in Li’s house for more than half a month, and gradually relieved the pain of his deceased father. When the two sisters get along, she teased Li Ruoxue more.

"Who wants to compete with him?" Li Ruoxue pulled out his hand and snatched the collection of essays.

She lowered her head, but her cheeks were slightly feverish. Chao Heng's unintentional words happened to hit her mind.

In the eyes of others, Li Ruoxue was a talented woman of a generation and was ashamed of many shameful men. However, in the academic studies of classics, Zhao Xingde was undoubtedly the prime minister of a generation. There were countless scholars from all over the country who were his personal disciples. In order to achieve success, Zhao Xingde held the important task of both countries. He played an important role in the Song and Xia countries. He was highly respected in Guandong and Guanxi, so that there was an unprecedented event that others were not in Luoyang, but were elected as the guardian of the upper pillar country by Luoyang scholars and people. Therefore, even in the Bachelor's Mansion, Li Ruoxue was respected as "Mrs. Zhao" instead of "Little Li", and I don't know how many people praised Zhao Xingde in front of Li Ruoxue.

However, when the couple had a conflict, Zhao Xingde's huge reputation in turn added a lot of pressure to Li Ruoxue.

After Zhao Xingde became famous, especially after he made achievements through military achievements, Li Ruoxue once felt great pressure. Because from the Han and Tang Dynasties to the Song Dynasty, most of the military generals who made achievements took a lot of wives and concubines, even between the soldiers' wives, they often talked about men who were going out to guard and who might ask for flowers and willows. Zhao Xingde was alone all year round, and Li Ruoxue was very worried about this matter, and he relied on constantly suggesting that he maintained his confidence in him. Although he did not

Sleeping in the flowers and willows, but Zhao Xingde and Han Ningshuang and Zhao Huan had a relationship with each other, which gave Li Ruoxue a huge blow. The more she trusted Zhao Xingde in the past, the more she suffered. At first, she also convinced herself to accept Han Ningshuang to share a man with her. However, when she was on the way to reunite with Guandong, she heard that Zhao Xingde's fragile heartstrings could no longer be held back, and she broke down and immediately returned to Luoyang.

However, when the Empress of Xia clearly supported Li Ruoxue to compete with the Princess of Song, those scholars who were interested in Song began to openly and secretly accuse Li Ruoxue of disregarding the overall situation and preventing Zhao Xingde from returning to the Song Dynasty. If Li Ruoxue had not been a Grand Secretary of the Bachelor's Office and had a podium for judging scholars' articles, Li Gefei had both reputation among the scholars, and almost someone publicly criticized her. These rumors reached Li Ruoxue's ears, although she would not have vented her anger on Zhao Xingde, she always felt a little wronged.

A woman, she could not prove on the battlefield like Mulan in Yuefu Ci and Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty, on the battlefield that she was not inferior to Zhao Xingde, but in literary affairs, whether in poetry or classics, she did not want to be inferior to Zhao Xingde. For this reason, Li Ruoxue's academic research was much harder than that of ordinary Grand Secretary. Many scholars were very disdainful of a woman in the Bachelor's Mansion at first. After dealing with Li Ruoxue several times, she had to convince herself, knowing that she was not only respectful to a father, but also a very powerful husband.

As time goes by, although the pain gradually subsides, Li Ruoxue still finds it difficult to truly let go and forgive.

Seeing her holding her cheek, Chao Heng felt nowhere to go, and reached out to shake her hand and smiled, "What are you thinking?" She stood up and stretched, "If you keep being so sensible, you may not be able to come back to the point when it gets dark. If you are too late, you will not have time to prepare dinner for the children." After Chao Heng married into the Su family, he has been a young lady and lived a life without water. When Li Ruoxue was in Dunhuang, he had always cooked housework by himself, and until now he has cooked for the children himself. Her orchid and her cooking skills are excellent, but there are very few people who are lucky enough to taste it. After Chao Heng tasted Li Ruoxue's craftsmanship in the Zhao Mansion, he was shocked and always found various reasons to eat the food made by Li Ruoxue himself.

Li Ruoxue naturally knew her little thoughts very well.

"Yong'er and Zhuo'er both went out to play with Lu Du'er." Li Ruoxue gave her a blank look. This sister was sometimes more innocent than a child. "Lu Du'er took them to eat in the countryside before coming back." Lu Du'er's name was Lu Da, who was the centurion of the Tiger Wing Army and the captain of the Zhao Mansion Guard. After Zhao Xingde was competent to serve as the general, the Tiger Wing Army that protected the Zhao Mansion increased from a ten-man team to a hundred-man team. As for "take it out to play", it was Lu Da who was entrusted by the Crown Princess Zhang Caiwei. Every time he managed the Yinhu, he would take Zhao Yong to see him. He developed the qualities of his soldiers since he was a child. Zhao Xingde was not in the mansion for many years. If the legitimate son of the general of the Southwest Naval Office became a soft and weak scholar, and he could not inherit the title, Anxi, Andong and the people of Anbei Military Office would laugh out loud.

"You are really willing to do it." A trace of disappointment flashed across Chao Heng's face, but she didn't say much.

She knew in Shu that if a family wants to prosper and develop, at least one scholar who supports the lintel, preferably a soldier, and thought that every soldier had many good friends in the camp. Zhao Yong was the only son of the general. If he could not become a soldier, no matter how talented Li Ruoxue was or how famous he was, in the eyes of the people of Guanxi, he was a failed mother. It was precisely because Zhang Caiwei had already seen this that specifically instructed Lu Da to teach Zhao Yong to practice martial arts since he was a child, and also taught him how to manage Yinhu.

"Look!" Lu Da whispered to Zhao Yong, soaking the raw cowhide whip in the well water.

"Yes, master." Zhao Yong nodded, his eyes falling on a man with a frightened face kneeling under the big locust tree in the distance.

This man was another soldier's husband. Because he forced a widow's property, this widow happened to be a husband of Luda. After Luda discussed with the other soldier, he did not go to the county government and ordered him to punish him with ten whips. Although there were only a few ten whips, the whip that the soldier beat was not ordinary. It was made of three strands of raw cowhide. After soaking in the well water, the skin immediately bloomed when the whip went down. The powerful sergeant often performed punishments, and ordinary people could not bear ten whips. The sergeant in Guanxi was very experienced. In order to prevent the inmate from shouting randomly, he bit his tongue and blocked his mouth tightly with rags.

Luda was holding a leather whip in her hand, and her expressionless face walked towards the indicted step by step.

The man's upper clothes had been stripped off and exposed his spine, trembling as if he was a chicken. His hands were tied to the wooden stake for execution, and he kept twisting his body and struggling, making a "woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

The crowd of onlookers exclaimed, and many women and children closed their eyes, and the widow who was bullied by the scoundrel also closed her eyes in fear.

"Don't look at him as pitiful, when he bullies orphans and widows,
