Chapter 347 Weird Scent
Gu Mingda didn't know how long the emperor had been listening outside the door, but although his class was different from others, it was not out of the ordinary.
Gu Mingda breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this.
The emperor did not stay outside all the time, but walked in at a leisurely pace.
"Zhongde's class is really unique." The emperor praised.
Gu Mingda immediately raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I dare not slack off at all. If I can make some progress for the students, I will feel that this trip is worthwhile."
The emperor was naturally extremely satisfied when he heard that he handled the errands assigned by him so seriously. Compared with Mr. Wu who always found excuses to cause trouble in class before.
Niu Niu stood aside, looking at the emperor with wide eyes and puzzled expression.
The emperor looked at her cuteness and couldn't hold it back. He reached out and patted her furry head and asked, "Your father taught you carefully today. Did you learn anything?"
Niu Niu nodded vigorously and said with a hint of pride: "I have memorized everything my father taught me. Today, my father taught "Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan" and..."
The little girl explained the content of today's lecture concisely and concisely. Whether it was what Gu Mingda said or what other little girls said, Niu Niu remembered it firmly.
Everyone likes studious children, and the emperor was no exception. He nodded with satisfaction, but still said: "Only your father is here to control this monkey like you."
When Niu Niu heard this, she grimaced and said, "Uncle Emperor, I am not a monkey, I am a little rabbit."
Niu Niu is a rabbit, so she always considers herself a little rabbit.
The emperor couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
Gu Mingda stood aside, watching the way his daughter got along with the emperor. While he felt relaxed, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. The emperor now looked more like Niu Niu's father than his real father.
Qian Rongsheng came in and whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the little guy next to Luo Meiren came in to find out if school is over. The beauty empress is waiting to pick up Niuniu from school."
Luo Meiren knew that there was a difference between inside and outside. She did not dare to enter the school by herself. Instead, she stood far away. It took too long today, so she asked the eunuch serving beside her to come in and investigate.
Today, the situation outside Baisun Courtyard was calm, making it impossible for outsiders to notice that the emperor's emperor was here. Luo Meiren still followed the usual practice of letting the young eunuch come in to inquire.
The emperor waved his hand casually and said: "In that case, Niuniu, please go back to Shoukang Palace first. Your father and I still have something to say."
Gu Mingda and Niu Niu had a rare reunion as father and daughter. They had already spoken a lot about each other before, so their reluctance to say goodbye was not that heavy at this time.
Niuniu jumped up to Luo Meiren's side. Before she could throw herself into her arms, her nose suddenly wrinkled.
Luo Meiren quickly asked: "My dear, what's going on? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Niu Niu shook her head and said, "Sister Beauty, although your body smells good today, it's a bit strange."
When Luo Meiren heard this, she didn't notice anything strange at all, and said: "The women in the palace burn incense all day long, how can there be a day when it doesn't smell fragrant?"
"It's different. It's different from yesterday's fragrance. I don't like today's fragrance very much."
Luo Meiren said: "But the incense used today and yesterday are the same."
Luo Meiren also waved to the maid.
The maid also came closer and smelled it, and said, "Little Master, my nose is not as sharp as Miss Gu's. I really don't know what's strange about it."
Luo Meiren took Niu Niu's hand and said, "My dear, maybe I just walked through the Imperial Garden and was stained with some floral fragrance, so my breath became mixed."
Niuniu still frowned.
Luo Meiren saw that the little girl was completely confused and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't like it, my sister won't use this incense in the future."
When Niu Niu heard this, she reluctantly relaxed her brows and was led back to Shoukang Palace by Luo Meiren.
In Baisun Courtyard, the emperor casually flipped through the books on Gu Mingda's desk.
Gu Mingda didn't know the actual learning progress of the little girls, so he prepared a lot of books.
"Be prepared for any trouble, Gu Qing is thoughtful." The emperor praised.
The emperor had originally made an impromptu decision to ask Gu Mingda to teach the children of the clan, but now seeing how he carefully prepared even the lectures for the little girls, it felt like he had found a treasure.
"What are you going to teach Gu Qing in the afternoon class?" the emperor asked.
Gu Mingda bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, I am stupid. I will teach you what to say in the morning class, and I will prepare what to say in the afternoon class."
The emperor was stunned when he heard this. He wanted to say how a group of little girls could compare with the future emperor.
Gu Mingda continued: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has always felt that the ultimate goal of teaching and educating people is not to increase knowledge, but to understand the truth that the book wants to convey and let students know what kind of person they want to be."
The emperor couldn't help but think deeply.
He didn't think Gu Mingda was lying, after all, Shen Changfeng was a living example.
After Shen Changfeng became a disciple of Gu Mingda, the number one scholar, everyone thought that the boy would take the imperial examination like his teacher. They also waited and watched to see if Gu Mingda had real ability and could carve flowers out of rotten wood. .
If Shen Changfeng were in high school, even if he was just a candidate, people in the capital would probably promote Gu Mingda to the position of Holy Master.
Gu Mingda has talent, but His Majesty must see this ability before it is considered buried.
Although the emperor summoned him before, he didn't see many details at all, and he couldn't take the initiative to speak. He originally thought that after taking classes for a while, he might be able to attract the emperor's attention.
At that time, it would be a good time to explain his teaching philosophy to the emperor.
Gu Mingda underestimated the emperor's love for Niu Niu. He didn't expect that he would attract the emperor's attention on the first day of class.
Learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and serve the emperor.
If he didn't want to compete, why did he take the imperial examination to become an official? Gu Mingda loves his wife, children and family. His biological son may be in the forbidden palace, and his adopted daughter has a big secret of her life. He needs power to protect all these.
Of course, he himself is not a pure and simple person.
Since he has to be in front of the emperor, what's the point of being an ordinary teacher? Naturally, he has to be different from others. The suggestions he made on the subjects he opened before were just appetizers.
"Seeing one's true nature, a kind-hearted person, as long as he keeps his original heart, will only use killing to save people even if he has learned the art of killing. A vicious person, even if he studies the subject of persuading others to do good every day, may not be able to lend a hand to others. Although I have been appointed by your majesty to take the responsibility of educating and teaching by words and deeds, in the final analysis, I can only guide, and it is difficult to shake the original heart." Gu Mingda's eyes were full of sincerity.
The emperor naturally understood what he meant. Thinking of the example of Shen Changfeng, Gu Mingda was not making excuses, but saying that he could only carve along the lines and could not influence a bad person into a good person.
"I am naturally relieved that Gu Qing is doing things." The emperor still had a blank expression on his face, without showing any inclination.
Gu Mingda was not in a hurry either. He had enough time to help his majesty find the most suitable candidate.
Qian Rongsheng didn't want to interrupt the emperor and his ministers' casual conversation, but now that he received the news, he didn't care. He hurriedly leaned over to the emperor's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, something happened in Shoukang Palace."
"Learn the arts of literature and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor's family" comes from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty drama "Pang Juan Walking on Ma Ling Road at Night" written by an anonymous author, which is the "wedge".
