Chapter 716 On the Surface, She Looks Dignified and Virtuous

But there were all important people around, and Ruoyin just felt uncomfortable, so he couldn't show it.

It's just a smile on the face, a little stiff.

After the elder brothers competed, Kangxi glanced at the juniors at the banquet.

He first ordered Hongjie from the eighth elder brother's family, and asked in a voice like a bell: "Hongjie, how are you reciting your Four Books and Five Classics?"

"Huhuang Ama, my grandson has memorized the Four Books and Five Classics proficiently." Hongjie looked confident.

It seems that the endorsement is ready.

However, Kangxi did not randomly check the endorsement, but just asked lightly: "Well, I will ask you, what do you think is the golden mean."

Hongjie, who had been swearing so much at first, felt a little false all of a sudden.

Thinking with difficulty on his face, he replied after a long time: "Grandson believes that... moderation has a very important influence on people's conduct and the cultivation of human nature."

This answer, in fact, is not as good as not answering, it is obvious that the answer is not the question.

Kangxi snorted coldly, and said solemnly: "You are answering irrelevant questions, and your intentions are not right. It is the same as your Ama when you were a child. You can't calm down, and your handwriting is crooked. It's a mess!"

The translation of this sentence is: like father, like son.

Hongjie was criticized in public, his face was red to the ears, and he sat down in shame.

Then, Kangxi randomly checked several emperors and grandchildren, but none of them could answer this question.

There were also a few younger ones who cried in fright when they were called.

Finally, he asked Xiang Hongyi: "Hongyi, come and tell Huang Mafa what the mean is."

Hongyi got up, scratched his head, and replied: "Huang Mafa, the book says that the so-called doctrine of the mean refers to an attitude of being impartial and balanced, but grandson has his own understanding."

Hearing this, Kangxi chuckled lightly and said, "Let's listen."

"Grandson believes that...the golden mean refers to "just right". Human character can be divided into three levels. Whether it is first-class or last-class, they are all extreme and wicked."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, seeming to find it very interesting.

"Only what is in the middle is morality or superiority. For example... between cowardice and recklessness is courage, between miserliness and extravagance is generosity, between sloth and greed is spirited, subservient Humility and prudence lie between secrecy and talkativeness; witty and humorous between eccentricity and buffoonery; friendliness and amiability between provocation and flattery; self-restraint between indecision and impulsiveness.”

"Well, what you said is very appropriate, then you can sum it up in one sentence." Kangxi said.

After Hongyi pondered for a while, he replied: "The true golden mean means that in everything and at every moment, one can act according to one's conscience, follow the principles of heaven, unite knowledge and action, and act according to one's position. It's my grandson's understanding."

Kangxi nodded slightly, and said affirmatively: "The words are clear and clear, and the insights are also very unique, which is better than the few of them."

"Thank you Huang Mafa for your compliment." Even if there are a group of adults around, Hongyi is not timid, and speaks frankly.

Kangxi swept around the emperor's grandsons, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, you all go down to play."

So, children, they retreated.

In the hall, Ba Ye's face was warm and moist as usual, but his knuckles were tightly packed.

When he was young, his handwriting was poor and he was often scolded by Huang Ama.

Huang Ama also asked He Zhuo, a calligrapher at that time, to be his attendant because of his ugly handwriting.

At that time, he had to write ten large-character presentations every day.

After so many years now, I have already written a good hand.

There were so many children just now, none of them answered the question, only Hongyi answered correctly.

Even some children were so frightened that they shed tears, but they were not disciplined.

But Huang Ama singled out his family Hongjie and criticized him severely.

From his point of view, Huang Ama is making a big fuss here just because he is unhappy.

This made him very unconvinced!

Ruoyin, who was on the opposite side, saw the scene just now.

As the mother-in-law, she is proud and gratified for Hongyi.

At the same time, he felt that Fei Yanggu was right.

Regarding the crown prince, Kangxi was promoted to the title of Eighth Master.

However, Ba Ye had a criminal record of murdering the prince back then.

When he heard that the crown prince had an accident, he wanted to repeat the old trick.

Therefore, Kangxi promoted him only to show the officials.

After all, the prince is gone, so I have to appease the Baye Party.

But in the final analysis, Kangxi still doesn't like Ba Ye.

Otherwise, he wouldn't poke Ba Ye's back just because of a trivial matter.

This time, it's not just Ba Ye who is not convinced.

San Fujin, who was sitting next to Ruoyin, was also very unconvinced.

As long as she thinks that her little elder brother who is still waiting to be fed has completely lost at the starting line, she will be angry.

Why is he older than others in age, but inferior to others in every way.

The fourth master treats Si Fujin better than the third master treats her.

There are two elder brothers under her knees, one of whom is deeply liked by Long Live Lord.

But she is not favored in the house.

The child is too young to be of any use at all...

After a stick of incense, it was time for lunch.

In the royal family banquet, there are naturally many rules and less talking when eating.

So, the third master arranged for singers and dancers to pass the time.

A rare family banquet like this will definitely not end immediately.

At least until the evening, the show will end.

After lunch, the male guests and female relatives were separated and taken to the guest room to rest.

On the way to the guest room, Ruoyin ran into Baotai.

After all, they got to know each other for a while, and they are both members of the royal family, so there is no reason to treat each other like air, it is so impolite.

Moreover, it seems that there is something wrong.

When Ruoyin met, Fushen saluted meaningfully.

Baotai also bowed to her, and his lips moved, as if he was about to speak.

But before he could say a word, a harsh female voice broke the atmosphere of this moment.

"Hey, I said where did the handsome men and beautiful women come from, so they are the fourth younger siblings and Lord Belle." San Fujin approached with his servants.

Whether it's the expression or the tone, they are very unfriendly.

Although Baotai didn't know about the feud between Ruoyin and Sanfujin.

But he could also hear that San Fujin was not a good stubble.

After Sanfujin approached, he looked at Ruoyin and Baotai from left to right.

In the tone of her sister-in-law, she taught: "Fourth brother and sister, I really don't like to talk about you. You said that you look dignified and virtuous on the surface, but behind your back, you are either flirting with sick counselors, or flirting with royal family members. It's unclear here..."

From what he said, it seemed that Ruoyin was the kind of woman who was pure on the surface, but would jump up when she saw a man behind her back.

Suddenly, Ruoyin's eyes glowed with displeasure.

Why are there Sanfujin everywhere!

According to her meaning, her eyes cannot look at men.

Even if we meet, we have to pretend not to know each other.

Ruoyin looked directly at Sanfujin, and said without fear of trouble at all: "Sister-in-law San, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately, what is unclear."
