Chapter 60
Before leaving, Yinreng asked the little eunuch to carry Tom cat over and let it meet Dezhu for the last time.
Maybe it was because I hadn't seen Deju for too long. When Tom saw him, he screamed and approached him like a clingy man. When Yinreng hugged it to Deju, Tom stretched out his arm and climbed on Deju's shoulder.
Since becoming a cat father-in-law, Tom's screams have changed from the chewing meow that was scattering his claws to the whimpering sound from his nose. Now when he saw the person who shoveled his poop, the cat was excited to rub Deju's chin with his head.
Deju was very happy. He touched the hair again, combed the hair, and pinched the chin again, and heard Tom's cat making a sob of enjoyment.
"The lifespan of a cat is only over ten years. Deju went outside the pass. Can he come back in ten years?"
Yinreng's words made Dezhu silent, and he said hoarsely: "For ten years, slaves may not be able to come back."
How many officials who were demoted to exile were unable to come back for a lifetime? How many people worked hard for a lifetime and lived to be forty-fifty before they could seize the opportunity and return to the capital to see the scenery of their hometown.
"Then Dezhu bring Tom with you," Yinreng saw that Tom likes to stick to Dezhu, and Dezhu also fell in love with Tom very much, so he took the initiative to give him a cat.
Without Tom, he still has thirty-one geese!
Deju shook his head and lowered his head to touch Tom's cat's hair gently: "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving the cat's heart, but the slave cannot take Tom away."
"Why? Tom is the one who is the one who is here to play. You are usually taking care of it. He likes you very much."
Dezhu whispered: "The slave was exiled to Ningguta. In the past, he suffered. Tom followed him and lived a bad life. But with His Highness, someone was serving him and could live in a comfortable nest. The slave could not take it away just because he liked Tom, and the slave was reluctant to take it to that place to starve and froze."
The time came, and Deju should leave. Finally, he took the courage to kiss Tom's cat's forehead and got the cat's owner's back rubbing.
The reserved cat owner actually rubbed back with a noble character!
Deok-joo laughed in surprise.
He returned Tom cat to Yinreng reluctantly, knelt down again to worship the two masters, took the gift bag given by Yinreng, and left under the escort of the guards.
Tom cat jumped out of Yinreng's arms, chased him and ran for a distance, and then looked back at Yinreng who was staying behind him.
The cat squatted on the steps of Yuqing Palace, watching Dezhu leave, and let out a lonely and desolate moan.
Behind him was the cat's cry, and Deju was already in tears. He did not look back, but his subordinates held the treasure gift given to him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
People always have dreams. He has the protective bag given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the "trick of tricks". When he went to Ningguta, even if he fought for this body, he would fight to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
At least, I will be able to come back to see Tom again, even for the last time.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was given the gift from heaven and was protected by immortals. He believed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's "trick plan" would be back within ten years!
Dezhu disappeared from his sight, Yinreng felt a little melancholy. Tom's cat lost Dezhu, turned around and became even more sticky. Yinreng rubbed around his legs and feet, squatting on his shoes and acting coquettishly to hug him.
"Tom is too fat. You are tired of hugging alone," Yinreng bent down and tried his best to pick up Tom.
"Tom, you have to live for a long time and can't continue to gain weight, otherwise you won't live the day when Deok-juk comes back!"
Yinreng recruited the little eunuch who served Tom and arranged a skillful palace maid for Tom, so two people would specifically serve Tom.
"You should have good nutrition and not let the cat eat too much," Yinreng told them: "If you are lonely and have no time, you must play with Tom every day and let it exercise every day so that it can live a long life."
The establishment of the Imperial Hospital in the Forbidden City is also due to the former Ming Dynasty. There were many emperors who ignored government affairs during the previous dynasty. There was also an emperor of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. He loved cats and ignored government affairs for twenty years. Even his concubines felt resentful. He refused to go to court for court officials to ask him to handle government affairs. He was addicted to entertainment and occupied a position to do things. It is no wonder that the former Ming Dynasty was increasingly declining under the troubles of generations of foolish monarchs, and the lives of the people were miserable.
All these history of the previous Ming Dynasty was told by my grandfather during class.
Emperor Jiajing also set up a veterinary position for his cats in the Imperial Hospital to treat cats. At that time, there was a place called Cat Nursery, which contained many servants who raised cats specifically for the emperor.
To this day, there are also "veterinarians" in the Taiyuan of the Qing Dynasty who can treat animals.
In the harem, the only person who raises a cat to relieve his boredom was Concubine Yi. No matter how high the position is, there will be no more. Concubine Tong likes to raise dogs, and His Highness the Crown Prince gave the Fourth Prince a small Jingba. Yinreng wanted to use a special "veterinarian" and did not need to go to Khan Amati. He just wanted to talk to Concubine Tong, who was in charge of the harem affairs.
Yinreng rubbed Tom's cat's head, pinched its chubby face, and said face to face: "Tom must live a few more years. You can live long before you can see Deju again."
I don’t know if Tom cat understands it or not, it moved its beard and sneezes.
After seeing Dezhu away, Kangxi gave Yinreng three more haha beads, namely Huala, Echu and Yatou.
These three young servants were between eleven and thirteen years old. They didn't understand the rules just now and had to leave them to Madam Xu for discipline.
After the incident, the Ministry of Internal Affairs promoted the children of Baoyi family. Every family found out that there were no bad records in the past five generations and had never participated in any bad things.
Among them, Echu's father is the vanguard, and he is the best family in the three-person room.
Yinreng lost one and got three, and was a little unfamiliar with them when he first met them, and he ignored these three people.
Without Dezhu, he kept getting together with Cao Zhen and muttering.
When Yinreng was studying, Cao Zhen was studying, and when Yinreng was playing, Cao Zhen was still studying. Every day, he opened his eyes and reviewed the homework of the previous day at dawn.
Seeing Cao Zhen’s fighting spirit, he asked him in surprise: “Why did you suddenly fall in love with learning?”
"I don't like learning, I don't like learning at all," Cao Zhen copied the text and replied to Yinreng as he wrote: "But Your Highness is so amazing. If I don't work hard, you will leave me far behind. In the last exam, my scores have surpassed Amu!"
"This time I have to rely on allusions. Mingxiang and Suo Xiang have taught so many allusions. Have you memorized them clearly?" Yinreng asked Cao Zhen.
In his mind, Cao Zhen is just a fool. He has to memorize it several times every time he studies it before he can remember it. He was able to barely keep up with the progress because of his hard work and hard work.
When talking about this, Cao Zhen was extremely sad and angry: "Ming Xiang not only taught Confucius and Zhuangzi, but also taught "Records of the Grand Historian", "Tao Te Ching", "Zuo Zhuan", "Spring and Autumn Annals", so many, so many, and mixed teachings, it was already very difficult for me to read the books, and I also had to recite them out."
It’s either he said that Mingxiang is just making things difficult for others!
Unlike Suo Xiang's kindness, he taught allusions in history books, and the content of the test is simple, so they don't need to recite them by judging words. Just understand and summarize them in their own words.
Yinreng kindly asked him: "Does I need to draw the key points for you?"
Cao Zhen shook his head and pushed the thick stack of paper he wrote to Yinreng: "I have sorted out the key points myself, Your Highness will help me see if there is any mistake."
Yinreng saw the thick stack of paper. He flipped through it casually and saw the dense records on it, all of which were notes written by Cao Zhen.
It is not done overnight to write down these things. Ah Zhen worked hard in front of him and worked harder in places he could not see!
Yinreng was stunned and asked Cao Zhen: "How late do you go to bed every day and how early do you wake up?"
Cao Zhen thought to himself, "My mind is the clearest in the morning, so I wake up at Yin and sleep at Xu."
As long as Your Highness doesn't ask him to play with, he can devote his brain to learning all day.
Cao Zhen chewed the book with tears in his eyes and told Yinreng: "I have realized a truth that a fool is not worthy of playing."
"Azhen forced herself too hard," Yinreng had enough sleep every day. Because he passed the exam, he still had time to play every few days.
Poor Ah Zhen, who was unable to pass the exam and studied repeatedly, became a fool.
"I used to want to be a playboy when I grow up, eat, drink and have fun all my life. I will study with Your Highness. Even if I have poor grades, I will still be protected by Your Highness," Cao Zhen bit the pen and muttered: "But what I want now is different. There is something wrong with Dezhu. I can't help Your Highness. Instead, I can only accompany you to ask people everywhere and watch you run around, which makes it uncomfortable."
Yinreng said inexplicably: "Why is it not good to feel good? Gu Bu doesn't think this is 'running', and asks the tutors that they can learn more, and Gu enjoys it, but Azhen doesn't like to study, so you don't have to force yourself."
"But I don't want to be a playboy. The eldest brother always hit me. I have to force myself because I don't want to be a little trash anymore!" Cao Zhen's thoughts were particularly clear.
It’s not that you can’t be comfortable, comfort is also a simple and happy life, and his family is enough to support him for a lifetime. However, Cao Zhen has learned from Yinreng for a long time, seen better people, peeked into the world of geniuses, and also had the idea of not being willing to be mediocre.
With high pursuits, he will definitely not be able to stay in place and be comfortable. If he wants to, he has to work hard. So even if he doesn't like studying, he will have to study it even if he dies.
"Actually, reading is no longer painful now. As I learn, I find that they are not that difficult. Some knowledge is quite interesting," Cao Zhen said of his own experience: "Your Highness, don't look at the pain when I memorize the text, but I am familiar with it. I will eat all this knowledge into something in my mind. I will have confidence during the exam. I have become used to the time I get up and sleep every day, which is also good."
"Your Highness, "Long Song Xing" always says, "If you don't work hard at a young age, you will be sad." I don't want to be empty-hearted when I grow up, and I regret not working hard when I was young, you will be sad."
Yinreng was shocked.
Oh my God!
Unexpectedly, my friend had already had such an enlightenment, and he was still having fun and wasting so much time.
Yinreng decided that it was time to make changes. He also wanted to learn Azhen's spirit of study, not wasting time, and devote his great years to his studies.
On this day, he met Nan Huairen, the grand tutor who came to the princes to learn astronomy and geography. This grand tutor who had long been familiar with Yinreng became Yinreng's next target.
Yinreng asked Nan Huairen: "I am awakened by my companionship today. I realized that I wasted too much time and planned to make changes, but I was struggling to start from. I don't know what method can Nan Taifu have to let Gu use less time and learn more."
Nan Huairen was happy to answer Yinreng's doubts. He said to Yinreng in a pretty standard Chinese language: "If your prince wants to manage his time well, why not try to look at the designated course list to plan your time."
When he was young, he studied philosophy at the University of Leuven. When he grew up, he worked as a lecturer at the Jesuit Theological Seminary and had a clear definition of the course list.
[Isn't this the course? Are children planning to be time management masters? Xiaomei's auxiliary functions can better implement time management for you!] With the help of Nan Huairen and Xiaomei, Yinreng made strict plans for his day.
Compared to the calculation of the hours of the Qing Dynasty, Yinreng felt that the calculation of the hours, minutes and seconds of the Western clock was more accurate. According to the recording time of the Western clock, Khan Ama got up at 3 o'clock in the morning to prepare for court, then he also got up at 3 o'clock in the morning, Azhen went to bed at 8 o'clock in the evening, and then he also went to bed at 8 o'clock in the evening.
With these, Yinreng posted the course sheet in front of his class, and posted the schedule she had prepared on the head of his bedroom, which was very eye-catching.
Yinzhi asked him: "Are you sure that such a rest is enough to keep going?"
Yinreng was really fresh and sweared: "If you can, you will definitely have enough rest time."
"I don't think it's enough," he couldn't do it to get Yinzhi up so early to study.
With the course schedule, Yinreng implemented the time set the next day. He was fresh in this strict self-disciplined time management method and required the people around him to cooperate with him. After persisting for seven days in a row, Yinreng really couldn't get up. He was sleepy early in the morning like a chicken pecking at rice, so he changed to three o'clock to five o'clock, which allowed him to find the most suitable work and rest.
Seeing that he persisted, Yinzhi followed him and inspired his companions to read.
The tutors who came to teach them all saw Yinreng's "course schedule" and communicated privately. They all said that His Royal Highness worked diligently to study at a young age, but it was passed on to be a beautiful story.
His Highness the Crown Prince said that the time table listed is called "course table", and there is also a table as the schedule. Writing them clearly can better manage time and be self-disciplined and self-sustained.
And these were all taught by Nan Huairen!
When Kangxi heard Yinreng and the Grand Tutors had made new tricks, he thought that this was really helpful for the prince and the princes to learn, so he ordered: "Since the eldest prince and the prince did it, the prince would also learn according to what the prince wrote."
The poor little Yinzhi was hit by this "flying disaster". He had to get up at dawn every day and study. He could not complain, because the prince Ge Ge and the eldest prince did not complain about hardship and fatigue, so he could not be spoiled.
He couldn't bear to blame the prince Ge Ge who loved studying, so he could only take his anger on Nan Huairen.
In the future, I still have a long time to go to the study room. When my younger brothers have too many, if anyone asks who invented the course schedule, work schedule, which makes children hate, he will tell them that they were invented by Nan Huairen!
Fortunately, Yinreng comforted Yinzhi: "Next year, my fourth brother will be here to accompany you to study. You are approaching, and the third brother needs to take care of the fourth brother more."
After hearing this, Yinzhi nodded obediently and replied loudly: "Don't worry, Prince Ge Ge, I will definitely 'take care of' the fourth brother!"
Chapter completed!
