Chapter 263 There's a thief in the palace?
Good fellow!
He even knows the principle of 'If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools'!
Shen Chaoyan didn't expect that he would hear this from his five-year-old son.
However, the little guy's answer seems to be a substitution of concepts.
"Although craftsmen need the help of tools to do their work, not everyone with his tools can do the work of a craftsman. For example, a carpenter with a carving knife can carve out lifelike wood carvings. But -
people who don't know how to carve, even if they have a carving knife, can't carve out a decent wood carving. So, before you pick up the carving knife, you must at least master the skill of carving, right?" When
Shen Chaoyan said this, he saw the expression on his son's face change, Knowing that he understood, she continued, "But before learning new knowledge, knowing the answers to questions by secretly reading a book is called cheating.
Because as long as the book is taken away, you can't tell the answer, right?
On the contrary, as long as you have the book of answers, anyone can tell the answer according to the book of answers, right?" Although
Sikong Nian was held by Sikong Xian, she stretched her little neck and listened carefully to what Shen Chaoyan and Sikong Chen said.
After hearing this, the little girl immediately looked at Shen Chaoyan with excitement, her big black and white eyes flickering, "Mother, do you have a book of answers too?"
"Shh!"
Seeing that his sister was talking nonsense, Sikong Chen immediately raised his chubby and white little fingers and made a gesture of silence to her, signaling her not to talk anymore.
Seeing that the two siblings had begun to keep a little secret from each other, Shen Chaoyan thought for a moment and said, "Chen'er, your mother has no intention of criticizing you. Your mother just wants to tell you that if a knife is in the hands of a butcher, it can be used to kill pigs and sheep. If it is in the hands of a chef, it can be used to cut vegetables and chop meat to make delicious dishes. If it is in the hands of a bad guy, it may become a weapon for committing crimes. If the knife is in the hands of a general, it can be used to fight on the battlefield to protect the country.
A knife in the hands of a butcher is a tool, a knife in the hands of a chef is a tool, a knife in the hands of a bad guy is a tool, and a knife in the hands of a general is a tool. The generals also have tools in their hands. It depends on how the holder wants to use them.
If you want the tools in your hands to play the functions you need, the first thing you need to do is to enrich yourself. Instead of relying too much on tools without learning anything. "
The two little guys nodded, not quite understanding, "Mother, we have taken note."
Shen Chaoyan looked at them and asked, "Are you still willing to continue to study with the teacher?"
Sikong Chen and Sikong Nian said in unison, "Yes!"
They also discovered some time ago that they had a heavenly book that others could not see.
This heavenly book can not only check everything they want to know, but also report some interesting things in a timely manner, even little secrets that others do not know.
The brother and sister found it very interesting, but they were not fully familiar with the functions of the heavenly book.
So, they used Zhang Huaimin's questions in class to test the use of the heavenly book.
As a result, they became more and more addicted. Every time Zhang Huaimin asked a question, they couldn't help but search for the answer in the heavenly book.
Shen Chaoyan also knew that children had poor self-control, so he could teach them slowly.
Although Sikong Yan could hear Shen Chaoyan's thoughts in the past, he didn't know what the heavenly book was.
At this time, he was confused by the conversation between Shen Chaoyan, her mother and her son.
He looked at the two children, then turned to look at Shen Chaoyan, "Yan'er, what is the Book of Answers?"
Shen Chaoyan replied, "Your Majesty, Chen'er and Nian Nian are indeed smart, but they are not as exaggerated as the rumors in the palace that they are child prodigies. They are just like me, they can know the content of the class in advance."
She thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it's still early, I want to take Chen'er and Nian Nian out of the palace."
Sikong Yan raised his eyebrows, "Where do you want to take them, Yan'er?"
"Go to the residence of the Inner Chamber Scholar and apologize to their teacher Zhang Huaimin, and ask Master Zhang Huaimin to continue teaching them."
Seeing that Shen Chaoyan attached so much importance to the education of his son and daughter, Sikong Yan immediately said, "I don't have anything important to do this afternoon, so why not go with you?"
So the emperor and the empress took the two little naughty kids and the apology gift and went to Zhang Huaimin's residence together.
Zhang Huaimin was reading in the study room. When he learned that Sikong Yan and Shen Chaoyan had brought the two children to apologize, he was flattered.
"Master Zhang, our son and daughter are young and naughty, and we are sorry to cause you trouble."
Shen Chaoyan gave the two children a look, and Sikong Chen and Sikong Nian immediately stepped forward, "Teacher, we are wrong! In the future, we will listen carefully in class and complete the homework assigned by you on time. Please give us another chance!"
Zhang Huaimin is still very serious and rigorous about learning.
He resigned not because the two children were naughty, but because he felt that they not only had unique insights, but also many of the ideas and questions raised in class were not even touched by him.
He really felt that his knowledge was shallow and he could not teach these two children anymore.
Now, the emperor and empress came together, and the two children were willing to continue to study with him.
Did he have any reason to refuse?
"When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher. The little prince and the little princess have many advanced ideas in academic research, which I have never heard of. Since you are still willing to learn from me, then starting from tomorrow, we will continue with the class. You can speak freely in class, discuss academic matters together, and learn from each other."
"Okay!"
After solving the problem of his son and daughter's classes, after the family of four returned to the palace, Shen Chaoyan called the two children to Fengqi Palace and talked to them alone for a long time.
After hearing what Shen Chaoyan said, the two little guys’ faces were full of curiosity and surprise, “It turns out that the Queen Mother also has a Heavenly Book!”
Shen Chaoyan raised her index finger at them and made a gesture to silence them, “Remember, this is a secret between the three of us, don’t publicize it, understand?”
The two little guys immediately covered their mouths and nodded their heads vigorously, “Understood!”
Shen Chaoyan thought for a while, and reminded, “Also, if your Heavenly Book receives some gossip and you can’t judge whether the news is good or bad, you can also come to the Queen Mother at any time.”
“Okay!”
What Shen Chaoyan didn’t expect was that after Sikong Chen and Sikong Nian agreed to her words, the next day, the two little guys came to find her at dawn.
"Mother, there are little eunuchs digging holes in the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace. Do you want to go with us to take a look?"
Shen Chaoyan was lying on the bed, she opened her eyes drowsily and muttered casually, "Why is the eunuch crawling through a dog hole so early in the morning?"
"Go out and sell treasures! You can make a lot of money! Mother, let's go and have a look! I also want to make a lot of money!"
Sikong Nian reached out and tugged at the corner of Shen Chaoyan's quilt, wanting to lift the quilt and wake her up.
However, after hearing what her daughter said, Shen Chaoyan immediately sat up from the bed.
Selling treasures to make money?
Doesn't that mean there is a thief in Shoukang Palace?
Stealing the empress dowager's belongings, secretly transporting them out of the palace and exchanging them for silver?
Such a big thing, why didn't her Heavenly Book tell her in time?
It seems that after the Heavenly Book 2.0 was launched, her Heavenly Book 1.0 was offline, and it was not a joke!
