Chapter 294 Jade Ruler

Chu Shaozhen said: "I brought Chu Shengxi and Rushi here, so I should be optimistic about them."

Liu Rushi assured: "We won't do anything rash."

“You guys…” Ye Chenting smiled helplessly: “Forget it, since you have made the decision, I can’t say much.

When I left Beijing to study, I was no older than you are now.

However, you must ensure that when you go out, it is different from the situation in Beijing. You must think twice before doing anything and do not act rashly.

If you encounter any trouble, you must seek help from local officials in a timely manner, and also send a letter to inform the capital..."

Several people wrote down Ye Chenting's words.

After Ye Chenting gave his instructions, he added, “Although Qing’er is a girl, she is the most stable among you.

If you encounter any problems, you should listen to Qing'er..."

A group of people sat there until midnight.

The next day, the county magistrate held a banquet to welcome the officials from the capital, and also sent visiting cards to Chu Anlan and his party.

Before parting, Ye Wanqing was unable to speak a few words to her second brother alone.

Day three.

It was still dark and only a few lanterns were lit in the mansion.

After entering autumn, the morning breeze becomes cooler day by day.

Ye Wanqing put on a thin shirt and stood beside the carriage facing the wind: "Second brother, have a safe journey.

I would like to ask my second brother to personally deliver the wedding gift to the prince and give my wedding blessings on his behalf."

"Don't worry, my second brother will remember it." Ye Chenting sat in the carriage and looked at her reluctantly: "Qing'er, take care of yourself."

Ye Wanqing's eyes were slightly red, but there was a smile on her lips: "Yeah."

Ye Chenting added: “If An Lan bullies you, or if Chen Xi and the others are disobedient, remember to write a letter back to Beijing.

At that time, your second brother will personally vent his anger for you.

You have been soft-tempered since childhood, so don't keep it to yourself when you are wronged."

Ye Wanqing's eyes were filled with tears: "Qing'er knows..."

"You..." Ye Chenting smiled gently, "It's rare for you to leave Beijing, and An Lan indulges you, so you don't have to follow the rules all the time.

You are only sixteen years old, at a lively and romantic age. "

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Hmm..."

After checking the carriage, the attendant came over quickly and said, "Master, we should set off now. It's too late. The ceremonial officer will have to scold you again."

Ye Chenting sat up straight: "Qing'er, take care."

"Second brother... take care."

With the sound of a whip, the horse raised its hooves and neighed, heading towards the long street filled with morning mist.

Soon, the carriage disappeared in the morning mist.

Ye Wanqing stood at the door for a long time.

It was not until the sky gradually brightened that Ying Xiang could not help but remind her: "Princess, the eldest master has been gone for a long time.

You didn't sleep well last night, go back and get some sleep."

Ye Wanqing retracted her gaze: "I'm not sleepy, I can't sleep, find something else to do.

Qianxi, go inform the kitchen and ask them to cook more hangover soup. When the young masters wake up, give them a bowl each."

Qianxi agreed and went in.

Ye Wanqing looked at the lake and mountains, the river in the distance, and the rolling mountains through the hazy fog: "After daybreak, I have to go and see the house I want to buy.

Before leaving Lin'an, you need to buy the mountains and wasteland by the river.

The location of Zhuangzi must also be finalized as soon as possible."

Next, there is still a lot to do.

……

After resting for a few days, and with Gu Chen's daily care, Chu Anlan's foot was finally fully healed before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

As soon as his foot recovered, Chu Shengxi and his group urged him to go out for a horse ride.

Just before they were about to step out of the door, people from the palace arrived.

The palace guard dismounted and saluted hastily: "The Emperor's oral order has arrived!"

Several people looked at each other. The emperor's order?
Chu Anlan asked: "What oral instructions?"

The palace guard said: "According to the emperor's oral order, Ye Wanqing was selected as the female teacher. During her absence from the capital, she will teach Prince Dun's sons Chu Anlan, Chu Shaozhen, Chu Shengxi, Ye Chenxi and Liu Rushi..."

"what?!"

When the news reached the inner courtyard, Ye Wanqing was sitting in the pavilion, using an abacus and checking the account book...

After she wrote down a number in the book, she looked up in surprise and asked, "The emperor arranged for me to teach the princes?"

Qianxi nodded vigorously: "Yes! I heard it and immediately ran to tell the princess!
I thought the emperor would issue an imperial decree, but he only sent someone to deliver a verbal order."

"How can an imperial decree be announced so easily?" Ying Xiang said, "However, the emperor's action just shows that he trusts and values ​​the princess."

Ye Wanqing rubbed his forehead and said, "I have never been a teacher to anyone. What if I fail the emperor's expectations?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside the yard.

Chu Anlan led the palace guards in and said, "Qing'er, someone has come from the palace to deliver the emperor's order."

As soon as the words fell, a group of people stepped into the yard.

The palace guard saluted and said, "Your subordinate greets the princess."

"No need to be so polite." Ye Wanqing asked someone to serve tea.

The palace guard said: "I came here on orders from the emperor. The emperor has ordered that the princess be the female teacher. Before the end of the study tour, the princess will personally take charge of the lessons of these children.

This is the jade ruler bestowed by the Emperor. The Emperor said that seeing the jade ruler is like seeing him.

If the prince and the young masters are disobedient and do not complete their homework well, the princess can punish them with a ruler.

If he still refuses to listen, send a message back to the capital.

After returning to the capital, the emperor will personally check the results of the course. "

As soon as the words fell, a wailing sounded -

"Your Majesty is really thoughtful, isn't he?"

"I have been spanked many times since I was a child, but I have never been spanked with a jade ruler!"

"Being hit by a ruler is painful enough. If you hit someone with a jade ruler, wouldn't your hand be crippled?"

"..."

Chu Anlan came over and said, "What kind of jade ruler is it? Take it out and show it to me."

The palace guards presented the long wooden box with both hands.

Chu Anlan was about to take it, but saw the palace guard turn his hand around and place the long wooden box respectfully in Ye Wanqing's palm.

In an instant, Ye Wanqing's hand became heavy.

The other teenagers were all stunned: "Is this ruler so heavy?"

The palace guard said thoughtfully: "This jade ruler is one foot long and weighs two kilograms. If you are punished, at most your hand bones will be broken, but your life will not be in danger."

Chu Anlan smiled and said: "The gift from the Emperor is extremely valuable, so of course we have to offer it up.

What if it is used to hit someone and it gets broken?
Qing'er, what do you think? "

Ye Wanqing glanced at him with a faint smile, and said to the palace guards: "Please tell the emperor: Qing'er will do his best and live up to his expectations."

The palace guard bowed and said, "In that case, I will return to the capital immediately to report."

Ye Wanqing had the horses for the palace guards replaced, and prepared some dry food and travel expenses, and sent them away.

Turning around, he saw Chu Anlan leading Ye Chenxi, Chu Shengxi and a group of people, standing in the yard in unison.

Coincidentally, Gu Chen came back from Aunt Hua's house.

Seeing that everyone was there, Gu Chen asked with a little confusion: "What are you doing? What are your plans for today?"

Ye Chenxi said quickly: "Master, why did you come back so late today? The emperor sent palace guards to deliver his instructions, but you didn't catch up."

Gu Chen bowed to everyone and said, "Sister-in-law Alan's hand has recovered a lot in the past two days. I gave her acupuncture before returning.

But what did the Emperor convey? "

Chu Anlan tried to hold back, but couldn't help but smiled and said, "The emperor has ordered Qing'er to teach us.

Starting tomorrow, we will start studying with Qing'er.

Throughout history, I am probably the first person to let my wife be a student, right?

Tsk, tsk…"

He was inexplicably excited.
