Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 20: ：Lame eyes are a disease

Yu Youyao had complicated feelings about the husband in her dream, and she also made up her mind that she would never have anything to do with Song Mingzhao in this life.

When mentioning Song Mingzhao, Mrs. Yu couldn't hide her admiration: "Mingzhao is a good boy. He was spotted by Mr. Xianyun two years ago and accepted him as his disciple. It didn't take long for him to learn about Yuan and become the Marquis of Zhenguo. The old man said that he had no plans to let Ming Zhao go down this year. He said that Ming Zhao was young and his foundation was weak, so he should wait for another three years."

Mr. Xianyun was a well-known scholar in the Zhou Dynasty. He was talented in governing the country. This old guy was clearly showing off.

Everyone present heard that Mrs. Yu's "old thing" was the old Mrs. Zhenguohou.

Mr. Yao looked envious: "I don't know how upbringing is in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion. I have two boys, the eldest is thirteen years old, and he was selected as a scholar last year. He still has to grind hard if he wants to pass the examination. , the youngest one is already eleven years old, and he didn’t even pass the entrance examination. He doesn’t study well all day long and always runs outside.”

Aunt He glanced at Yang Shuwan and complimented with a smile: "In three years' time, Brother Yan will also be a master of civil education, and he may also earn you Jieyuan."

It is a rare thing for an ordinary person to pass the exam from a young age to become a white-headed man. It is also a rare sight to be a 16-year-old master.

When Mr. Yao heard this, he couldn't stop smiling: "I'd like to lend you some good advice."

Even the old lady's face softened a bit: "Brother Yan has followed his father. He is a good scholar and has a bright future."

This is not just a compliment, it is clearly a high hope for Yu Shanyan. Yao smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Mom, Shanyan does not deserve such praise from you."

They are both wives, how can we not compare? Seeing that Mrs. Yao was embarrassed in front of the old lady, the smile on Yang Shuwan's face was a little stiff, and she couldn't help but glared at Aunt He.

This little coquettish man obviously deliberately held the second wife in his arms and stepped on her face.

……

On the second day, the busy work reached the afternoon, and Qingtuyuan was completed in an orderly manner. Yu Youyao was very satisfied. The servants who participated were all rewarded with two taels of silver, and the other servants were all enthusiastic.

Zhou Linghuai went to Anshou Hall to thank Mrs. Yu. Mrs. Yu gently twisted the Buddhist beads: "They are all members of the family, and they should be."

Then he changed the topic and asked about Zhou Linghuai’s schoolwork.

Zhou Linghuai said respectfully: "In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, I also studied the Taoist Canon. A few years ago, due to his stubborn temper, I asked my father to study Buddhist scriptures for a while to cultivate his mind. In addition, a gentleman has dabbled in the six arts. I have also made some achievements in chess, calligraphy and painting."

The hand twisting the Buddhist beads couldn't help but pause. Mrs. Yu said after a long while: "It is rare to pay equal attention to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism."

The "Four Books and Five Classics" are nine books in total. They are the classics for the sages to establish themselves, conduct themselves, and govern the world. They must be learned in every career.

The "Tao Zang" has a total of nine books, including the "Tao Te Ching", "Gui Gu Zi" and other collections, especially the book "Gui Gu Zi", which is a combination of vertical and horizontal techniques, strategic planning, comprehensive planning, and divine Unpredictable.

Nowadays, people believe in Taoism, indulge in alchemy, ignore government affairs, and flatter everyone in the court. Everyone can recite one or two Taoist classics to please the saints.

Ordinary people cannot fully understand the Four Books and Five Classics after studying for a lifetime, and the imperial examination requires thousands of troops to cross a single-plank bridge, let alone the more obscure "Tao Zang"?

Zhou Linghuai was not talented, but possessed great talents.

The Zhou family also has high hopes for Zhou Linghuai, but it is a pity that his legs...

Zhou Linghuai lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Mrs. Yu felt regretful and very pleased at the same time: "Although you will not pursue a career in the future, men study to understand reason, establish themselves, and manage affairs. Schoolwork should not be neglected. The government hired a gentleman to teach schoolwork. It is Mr. Hushan who participated in the compilation of "Lvshu" during the reign of the late emperor. Mr. Hushan has great principles. It would be good for you to follow him and learn from him."

Let people know that he is Mr. Hushan’s disciple. Even if his leg is broken, outsiders will not underestimate him.

This arrangement is also well-intentioned, so Zhou Linghuai should accept it.

Mr. Hushan was once the late emperor’s young mentor. After participating in the compilation of the New Dynasty’s Laws and Regulations, he resigned from office. His reputation was not as good as that of Mr. Xianyun, a great scholar of the time.

It is quite surprising that the Yu Mansion can invite Mr. Hushan. There may be something wrong with this.

Back in Qingtuyuan, Zhou Linghuai finished the picture scroll he drew yesterday and asked Chang An to send it to Yu Youyao.

Zhou Linghuai looked down at the file in front of him. This case was just changed yesterday. It has curled ends and no sharp corners. There is an ivory pen holder on it, with a set of large and small pens, a total of more than ten pens. Every pen is a fine fine pen. In addition, the pen holder, paperweight, inkstone, etc. are all carefully selected.

Chang An couldn't help but said: "Why does the young master look at Miss Yu so differently?"

The hand holding the book tightened, and Zhou Linghuai couldn't help but think deeply.

When I met Yu Youyao yesterday, I felt that she was bright, delicate, and flawless. Hearing her gentle voice and calling him cousin, I somehow wanted to get close to her.
