In the late Kaihuang years, the trend of official schools began to emerge, but the number was not large and the popularity was not too high.

In the aristocratic families, clan studies have emerged. Especially among the Kanto clans, clan studies have become very popular. Of course, most of the true clan children are invited by their families and taught them privately. Most of the people who serve as clans are famous scholars today, and ordinary scholars are not qualified to serve as teachers. clan studies, also known as village studies, mainly focus on enlightenment education, based on clan villages, and appropriately cultivate some reserve talents.

Village schools are almost semi-public, and the students they recruit are not very strict.

It is basically enough to be able to read a word and keep an account. If you want to get a higher education, you need to have a certain opportunity.

The Zheng family also has a village school and is quite famous in Xingyang.

If it is really just for the purpose of literacy and accounting, with Zheng Shi'an's ability, he can easily send Yan Qing to study, so why should he come to Luoyang?

Zheng Shi'an knew that Zheng Renji just wanted to use this method to calm his emotions.

However, Jung Shian could also refuse, but this would probably make Jung In-ki more disgusted with him. He bowed and said thankful, and then said goodbye and left.

———————————————————

Later, Zheng Yanqing heard that Zheng Renji gave Cui Daolin dozens of whips, while Cui Sheng was beaten to death by a hundred slap and several of his teeth fell off.

Xu Shiji did give the letter to Cui Sheng, but when he gave it to Cui Sheng, he said something.

"The old butler said that this letter is very important, so let Butler Cui read it immediately."

The word "联" has a sense of command. Cui Sheng became popular as soon as he heard it!

You, an old guy with incomplete body, have been sent to the farm now. How dare you come over and order us mankind?

So he still put the letter on the desk, and Cui Sheng left it behind when he went to have fun.

When Cui Daolin came back, he was drunk. After waking up the next day, Cui Sheng did not remind him, and he did not pay attention.

Later, when Cui Daolin asked someone to clean the desk, he threw away the letter together!

In short, Cui Daolin and his son were afraid that they would not be arrogant anymore for a while.

Yan Qing was a little sorry. He failed to take this opportunity to get rid of the Cui family and his son, and he would definitely cause trouble in the future. But he also knew that it was not that simple to get rid of the Cui family and his son. With Mrs. Cui, it would be difficult to succeed in a while.

Just be patient!

Anyway, the days are still long, Zheng Yanqing is still young, and he has enough time to fight with Cui Daolin and his son.

Moreover, he was too lazy to pay attention to Cui Daolin and his son, because when Zheng Shian came back, he told him that he would be studying soon...

"Hedouling? Why does it sound like a Hu man's name? Does this family in Luoyang have?"

Zheng Shi'an smiled and said, "Why is there no? The surname Hedouling is indeed the surname of the Hu people. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, after Emperor Xiaowen of Wei moved from the border to 38 surnames and 98 tribes to settle in Luoyang, Hedouling changed to the surname Dou. You understand."

surname Dou?

Zheng Yanqing said in a lost voice: "But it is the Dou surname of the Duke of Anfeng County?"

Zheng Shi'an nodded and said that he was correct.

This Dou surname is a serious Han family.

As early as the Han Dynasty, the Dou surnames were divided into the Dou surnames of Guanjin and Fufeng Pingling Dou surnames, and many well-known figures emerged.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Han Liu Heng's wife was a man from Guanjin, Qinghe, the grandmother of Emperor Wu of Han, Empress Dowager Dou. Empress Dowager Dou's brother Dou Changjun died early, and his son Dou Pengzu was the Marquis of Nanpi of Emperor Wu of Han; while Empress Dowager Dou's younger brother Dou Shaojun was named Marquis of Zhangwu, and Dou Shaojun's nephew, the extremely famous Marquis of Wei Qi and Dou Ying.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dou Rong, a famous minister in Pingling, Fufeng.

Dou Rong's great-granddaughter was Empress Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the father of this Empress Dou was Dou Wu, the then general.

At that time, eunuchs such as Cao Jie were in trouble. Dou Wu, as a foreign relative, joined forces with the gentry of the dynasty to kill the eunuchs, but unfortunately leaked the news. Dou Wu was killed because of this, while the Dou clan members were wandering outside the border, which was the ancestor of the Hedouling clan. The reason why the Dou surname was changed to Hedouling was because of the threat of Tuoba Liwei and he had to become the Hedouling Hu surname.

It was not until Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved the capital to Luoyang and ordered the Hu people outside the border to settle in Heluo that Hedouling restored his ancestor Dou surname.

The Duke of Anfeng County mentioned by Zheng Yanqing is a big shot.

This person, named Dou Rongding, is also the son of Dou Shan, the third ancestor of the Dou family of Hedouling. He had a good relationship with Yang Jian since he was young. During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty, he was prepared for Qianniu. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was named a former general. Dou Rongding's wife was the sister of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian. Therefore, when Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian usurped the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Dou Rongding supported Yang Jian.

I remember that when Hedouling returned, there were five brothers in total.

The third brother Dou Yue, the fourth brother Dou Shan, and the fifth brother Dou Chi all left behind great military achievements, so later generations used to call the Hedouling clan the third ancestor Fang Fang of Dou. Dou Yue's son was Dou Yi, the Shenwu Duke of the Sui Dynasty. Dou Yi's daughter was even more famous and married Li Yuan, the Emperor Gaozu of Tang, who was called "Empress Taimu" in later generations. Of course, the most famous of the Dou family at this time was Dou Rongding. Although Dou Rongding was dead, his son Dou Kang was appointed as the general manager of Youzhou and was also a big figure in the real power faction.

"So, isn't the Dou family the same as our Zheng family, all aristocratic families?"

Zheng Shian nodded with a smile, and shook his head again.

"That's it... If we talk about the year and month, the Dou family may have the longest time. It has been eight hundred years since the Dou surname of Guanjin, Qinghe. However, the Dou family and Pingling of Guanjin are both very powerful and have been transformed into a great lineage. The bloodline has long been impure. How can it be compared with my Zheng family?

The Dou family in Guanjin has been in trouble since the third year of Tianping in the Northern Qi Dynasty and Dou Tai died in battle, and has long since disappeared.

The most powerful Dou family in Pingling was not considered a pure gentry... Haha, the Dou family is actually quite embarrassed now. In the eyes of the Wuchuan people, the Dou family is a gentry; but in the eyes of the aristocratic family, the Dou family is from Wuchuan and refuses to admit it.

But the Dou family was lucky. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Mrs. Shenwu was the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the founding of the emperor, Dou Rongding became the emperor's brother-in-law. However, the Dou family's energy was not small, especially Dou Laosan's granddaughter, who married Duke Tang, and his status became more and more stable... Yan Qing, if you don't want to go to Doujia Village to study, I can also turn it off."

Unexpectedly, the affairs of the Dou family were so complicated!

Zheng Yanqing didn't mind having a relationship with the Dou family, because behind the Dou family was not only supported by the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but more importantly, the Duke of Tang Li Yuan was the son-in-law of the Dou family. Maybe he could take this opportunity to get in touch with Li Yuan?

Well, it's a good idea!

Yan Qing had long wanted to get in touch with Li Yuan.

Especially when he learned that Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng had an engagement with the Zheng family, he began to think about it.

After waiting for five years, Li Jiancheng didn't even see him, let alone Li Yuan.

Now there is the Dou family's way... Well, I can give it a try.

Although it is just a village school and cannot enter the core of the Dou family, if you have such a relationship, it will be easy to talk in the future.

Zheng Yanqing understands the principle of preparing for the future.

I don’t know how old is that wise and powerful Emperor Taizong of Tang now?

"Yan Qing, why don't you speak?"

"Ah, grandpa, what did you ask me just now?"

Zheng Yanqing was so confused that he didn't hear Zheng Shi'an's question.

Zheng Shi'an smiled and said, "I just said, if you don't want to go to Hedouling's house, I can go to the eldest son and talk to him now."

"Go, why not?"

That's right, Zheng Yanqing knows a lot of poetry and verses, but the problem is that he has a very weak understanding of the culture of the Sui and Tang dynasties. He can learn it through the village and understand it more deeply. The most important thing is that he can take this opportunity to narrow his relationship with the Li family, why not do it?

Seeing that Yan Qing was determined, Zheng Shi'an stopped talking about it.

A few days later, Zheng Renji sent someone to the farm and told Zheng Shi'an that Zheng Yanqing could go to the Dou family and study...

—————————————————————————————

"Brother Shiji, let me tell me the story of the Three Kingdoms."

When Zheng Yanqing began his enlightenment education, Xu Shiji lived a leisurely and free life in the Zheng family's old house in Luoyang City.

He was originally older than Zheng Hongyi, so he automatically acted as the eldest brother.

However, Zheng Hongyi has been spoiled since childhood. Although his mother died early, Zheng Renji has only one son like him.

Therefore, even Mrs. Cui is very fond of Zheng Hongyi.

To make Zheng Hongyi bow his head, Xu Shiji thought for a long time and decided to use his ultimate skill: The Three Kingdoms Story.

His Three Kingdoms stories were all heard from Zheng Yanqing. In a few days, Zheng Hongyi was obedient to him, but the little inventory in Xu Shiji's belly was gone... Yan Shigu is a strict teacher. It is difficult for Xu Shiji to go out, let alone go to Zheng Yanqing to find new stories. In fact, he wants to listen to new stories than Zheng Hongyi.

Zheng Hongyi held Xu Shiji's hand and begged with a mercy.

Xu Shiji looked bitter and had no choice but to say, "Hongyi, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's really... Let me tell you the truth. All the stories I told you were heard from others."

Zheng Hongyi asked curiously: "Brother Shiji, who did you hear the story?"

Xu Shiji hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I said, you are not allowed to tell others... Actually, I heard it from Yan Qing."

"Yan Qing? Who is that?"

Zheng Hongyi didn't know who Zheng Yanqing was, even though he and Zheng Yanqing slept in the same carriage back then.

No wonder, Jung In-ki hates Jung Shi'an and doesn't like Jung Yanqing either.

As for Mrs. Cui, I don’t even know that there is a person like Zheng Yanqing, how could Zheng Hongyi know who Zheng Yanqing is?

Xu Shiji said: "Yan Qing is the grandson of your old housekeeper."

"Which old housekeeper? Cui Daolin... Why don't I know that he has a grandson?"

"It's not Cui Daolin, it's Old Butler Zheng."

Zheng Hongyi suddenly realized and nodded and said, "I know Mr. Zheng, but I don't seem to like him, but my father and mother don't seem to like him, saying he is a catfish... Is the grandson of the old butler also surnamed Zheng? How old is he? Why don't he be with us?"

Xu Shiji frowned and said softly: "Hongyi, the old housekeeper is a good person, you are not allowed to be rude. Otherwise, if Yan Qing doesn't tell stories in the future, we will have nothing to listen to... Brother Yan Qing is about the same age as you, and he is very smart and has a good person. If you see him in the future, you will know that he... is very powerful and has great ability."

"Zheng Yanqing, Zheng Yanqing?"

Zheng Hongyi tilted his head and kept the three words Zheng Yanqing in his heart.

At this moment, I heard a crisp bell sound. This was Yan Shigu's habit, and he carried a small bell with him.

Every time during class, he had to sit down in the house within a hundred breaths as long as he rang the bell.

Otherwise, he would use a ruler to hit his palm. Zheng Hongyi and Xu Shiji both got Yan Shigu's ruler, so he immediately trotted back to the study.

"Today, let's continue to talk about the Cangjie chapter..."

Yan Shigu saw Xu Shiji and Zheng Hongyi sitting down, smiling and ready to start the lecture.

To be honest, Yan Shigu was very satisfied with these two students. Especially Xu Shiji, he was often able to learn from one example and was extremely intelligent. It was a pleasure to gain talent and teach him. Yan Shigu's family has a lot of knowledge, so he attached great importance to education.

But it’s strange. I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t heard the story or what, Zheng Hongyi, who has always been well-behaved on weekdays, suddenly started to make trouble in the classroom. “Sir, Cangjie Chapter is so boring, it’s not as interesting as the story of the Three Jewishes in Taoyuan.”

Xu Shiji was shocked when he heard this.

Why did this little ancestor dare to speak in front of his husband? Didn’t you tell him just now, don’t you tell me not to tell others?

Sure enough, Yan Shigu's face darkened, "Hongyi, what is the story of this Taoyuan feud?"
Chapter completed!
