258 “Sexy Pampering” Chapter 257

[Emperor Chapter 9] Jiang Taifu

“I heard that Old Master Jiang is a talented person who even the Emperor dares to look down on. He resigned when he said he would. The Emperor tried to persuade him to stay, but it was useless. He has been resigning for more than 20 years…”

“Old Master Jiang was a third-level scholar back then. Later, he became a Hanlin scholar at a young age and served as a tutor to the emperor who was still the crown prince at that time. I heard that he was not only good at both civil and military skills, but also dabbled in painting, medicine and other side disciplines.”

“Isn’t that right? When he returned to Beijing this time, he presented a map of mountains and rivers thousands of miles away. His Majesty Long Yan was delighted. It is said that Taifu Jiang himself spent more than ten years traveling around the mountains and rivers to draw it!”

“Do you know why Taifu Jiang resigned?”

“I know, I know. I heard that Taifu Jiang had a wife and daughter in his hometown before he came to Beijing to take the exam. Later, he became an imperial scholar, and after he stabilized in the court, he planned to bring his wife and daughter to Beijing to enjoy their happiness. Who knew that there was a flood all over the Central Plains that year, and the people he sent couldn’t even find the bones of his wife and children. Taifu Jiang didn’t want to believe it, so he resigned and went to look for her in person. The search lasted more than twenty years…”

“Oh, God is really playing tricks on people… But Taifu Jiang is really infatuated. He has fame and power, so there is no wife he can’t get…”

“You think they’re all like you, but you can’t walk when you see a pretty palace maid!”

“Hey! Say it again! Be careful I tear your mouth apart!”

Outside the minister’s study room, several young eunuchs who were waiting for their prince to leave school were gathering together to gossip. Chu Jiao stood on the side, chiming in a few words from time to time, but her heart drifted away with the content of the chat.

Mrs. Jiang, whose name is taboo Jiang Shan, is now in her sixties. She has resigned from office for many years, but has returned to the court again.She knew this person because in the original work, Jiang Shan was the hidden minister who was reused after the male protagonist ascended the throne, and he was also the only one who was there when no one was optimistic about the male protagonist.More importantly, he not only taught the male protagonist what imperial tactics are, but also cured the male protagonist’s illness.

Chu Jiao urged Jing Chen to get up early today because she didn’t want him to miss getting to know the elder.After all, the relationship between the two of them is far beyond her current status.

In the Chancery’s study room, an old man with gray beard and hair but strong energy was staring sharply at the young man sitting in the back row.After seeing the normal half of his face, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, but then he frowned when he saw the half mask covering his face.

“‘The beginning of etiquette lies in correct appearance, uniform color, and correct speech.’ Why does the Sixth Prince cover his face to see others?”

The other princes present did not speak, and their eyes were full of jokes.

They had been dissatisfied with the sixth prince for a long time because he had a cold personality and was always in the limelight. Now it seemed that the new tutor was a person who valued ethics and education. They had never seen the ugly side of the sixth prince. It was said that everyone who saw him would be frightened, and it was also the aspect that he kept the most secretive about.There’s something good to watch now.

Jingchen stood up, bowed respectfully to Jiang Shan, and replied calmly: “Jingchen is born with an ugly face, so he should cover it with a straight face to be kind to others.” It means that I am too ugly, so I cover my face with a mask for fear of scaring others.

Jiang Shan asked again: “Your body, hair, and skin are all given to your parents. Do you have any resentment?”

This is heart-breaking. Your body, hair, and skin are all affected by your parents. Are you resenting your parents for not giving you a good appearance?

If Jingchen answers carelessly, he will be labeled as disrespectful and unfilial.

“The body’s hair and skin are supported by its parents, and Chen dare not damage them. However, the things that the Creator grabs for support are like the pottery man’s pottery. The place where it was taken has become a pot. It is no different from it. It has not been separated from the earth. It has becomeIt is no different from being a pot full of utensils when they are broken into pieces.If people live in a country near the river, people draw water to soak their gardens, and the river water is not abhorrent.In a house that is suffering, the river is full of water, and the water is not a joy.”

The question that Taifu Jiang just asked came from the “Book of Rites”, and Jingchen’s answer quoted a passage from “Huainanzi”.The general idea is that people cannot decide their own origin and appearance, but they are not unhappy because appearance and origin are not important, but the abilities they possess are the most important.

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Jiang Shan’s eyes, and he turned around to start class without making things difficult for Jingchen.

Seeing that the sixth prince had avoided making things difficult, regret flashed in some people’s eyes. The third prince and the fourth prince looked at each other, as if they were communicating secretly.

Chu Jiao didn’t know what was going on in Shangshu’s room, but she discovered the two sneaky girls hiding not far away after being prompted by the system.

One of them is Jing Ya, the fifth princess who occasionally meets her on Qiuxi, and the other is a fresh-faced girl with delicate eyebrows and skin as smooth as cream. At first glance, she is a pampered master.

That is Yun Wan, the heroine of this world.

Chu Jiao frowned, what are these two people doing in the study room at this time?

It’s not that she thinks too much, but every time the heroine appears, something will happen, and she will always suffer a little.
