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 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 scrupulous and art theory of the court. In addition, the national turmoil, Huang Zhoushan, Zhao Xingde, Jin Hongfu and others have made arguments to the impact of the academic research on classics and arts. As a result, various figures and arguments have appeared one after another. As long as the argumentists can make their own statements, they often have followers and even can form their own family. The classics and arts have never been so famous since the Han Dynasty, which makes people feel overwhelmed. Some people even compared it 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, "I'm talking nonsense again."

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 great achievements through martial arts, Li Ruoxue had great concerns.

Because from the Han and Tang dynasties to the Song dynasties, most of the military generals who made achievements took a lot of wives and concubines. Even among 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, relying on constantly suggesting that he maintained his confidence in him. The appearance of Han Ningshuang and Zhao Huan gave Li Ruoxue a huge blow. The more she trusted Zhao Xingde in the past, the blow she suffered in her heart. 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 after accepting Zhao Huan as his wife, and 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 publicly 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 evaluating scholars' articles, Li Gefei had a reputation among the scholars, and almost someone would have publicly accused her.

These rumors reached Li Ruoxue's ears. Although she did not take her anger on Zhao Xingde, she always felt a little wronged. As a woman, she could not prove on the battlefield like Mulan in Yuefu Ci and Princess Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty on the battlefield, but in literary affairs, whether it is poetry or classical arts, she did not want to be inferior to Zhao Xingde. For this reason, Li Ruoxue's academic research was much harder than that of an 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, they had to convince themselves, knowing that she was not only respected by 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 hint of disappointment flashed across Chao Heng's face, "How old is Zhao Yong."

"Let him get in touch with these more early, and see what the child is suitable for and which path is the most suitable in the future."

"You also know the allusion of the plucking seedlings to help grow," Chao Heng shook his head, "too much is too much, don't put too much pressure on the child."

"Although the tiger father has no dog son, it is not affordable for an ordinary child to achieve the achievements like General Zhao."

The two often exchanged some experiences in raising children, and they almost talked about everything, so they were able to speak out in a blunt way.

"I just hope they will become useful talents for Yu'er and Yu'er." Li Ruoxue gently pulled up a few strands of hair hanging down to his forehead, and lifted up the child. A bright light flashed in her beautiful eyes: "According to Mr. Huang Zhoushan, people are born with all kinds of talents. As long as they are useful in the country, they do not have to take a fixed path of civil and military success. I think it makes sense. While Yong'er and Zhuo'er are still young, they have two cultural relics and hundreds of schools of thought that they can get in touch with each other, so it is good to be able to walk that path."

The dispute between Huangzhoushan's "specialist theory" and Zhu Sen's "generalist theory" mentioned by Li Gefei was in the Kanto Shilin. This was not only a dispute between theories, but also a dispute between the court and the people, the central government, and the local government, and various yamen. Under Wu Zilong's instigation and Chen Dong's tacit consent, most of the Lishu Liliu supported Huangzhoushan's "specialist theory" to oppose the court's central government's intervention in various responsibilities. Deng Su hinted through the official report to the court to support the "specialist theory". The Ministry of Rites even linked it with the court's recruitment of scholars, which fueled the fire, and caused a huge uproar in the Confucian scholars. Li Ruoxue has heard a lot of discussions recently, and he has also found many articles from both sides to study. He was deeply touched, so he quoted Huangzhoushan's theory casually.

Chao Heng nodded. She didn't have a deep understanding of Kanto's "generalism" and "specialism" and didn't say much.

However, Li Ruoxue asked Zhao Yong to take a soldier as his army, and she was very supportive.

Although there has been no war in Shu for a hundred years, everyone knows that sergeants are a symbol of status. If a family wants to prosper, at least one scholar who supports the lintel, preferably a sergeant, who thinks that every sergeant has many good robes in the camp. It was because the Crown Princess Zhang who had already seen this that convinced Li Ruoxue to let Zhao Yong practice martial arts since he was a child. He also specifically instructed Lu Da not only to teach Zhao Yong to practice martial arts, but also to teach him how to manage Yinhu and how to get along with robes in the army, so that he must not lose Zhao Xingde's reputation. Zhao Yong is the only son. If he cannot become a sergeant, in the eyes of the people of Guanxi, no matter how talented Li Ruoxue is or how famous he is among the Guandong scholars, he is a failed mother.
