Chapter 900 Dabao, aren't you tired? (Large chapter update)
The Thirteenth Master looked at his own Royal Father, then at his nephews, and said silently, "Don't worry, Royal Father. These guys are very stubborn. It's not easy to make them cry."
Emperor Kangxi frowned and looked over: "Hmm?"
The Thirteenth Master nodded seriously: "At least I haven't seen it yet."
While Emperor Kangxi was still in a trance, Dabao had already returned with his brothers and sat down at the table again.
Seeing Emperor Kangxi looking at them, Dabao pushed the plate of prawns closer to Emperor Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, please eat more and stay healthy."
Emperor Kangxi was stunned, and subconsciously picked up another prawn with his chopsticks. But before he put it in his mouth, he couldn't help but ask, "Dabao, your father and mother are gone like this, will you be sad?"
Dabao nodded. "Your Majesty, I'm reluctant to leave, but what can I do?" He sighed, holding his soft face with his little hands, and said, "My father and mother have their own things to do, and I have my own things to do. We can't stay together all day."
This made Emperor Kangxi laugh: "What are you busy with?"
Dabao listened, but counted seriously with his little fingers and said: "You have to accompany the old ancestor for dinner, because the old ancestor is always coughing and has a bad throat. Remember to let the old ancestor drink autumn pear soup. Otherwise, you can't let the old ancestor think about it by himself. Mother said that you should talk to the old ancestor more, and the old ancestor will be in a good mood.
I also need to spend time with Mama. She's lonely and misses us terribly. My brother had an accident recently, and Mama is very sad.
And there's Huang Mafa. Mother said Huang Mafa has been feeling down lately and can't be left alone. Don't let Huang Mafa overwork himself. Make sure he goes to bed on time.
Also, the eldest child must take good care of his younger brothers. The second child must eat plenty of delicious food every day and must be watched closely, not leaving anything behind. The third child must not cheat and not go to martial arts training. The fourth child must not drink alcohol secretly. He must not handle any sharp weapons.
There are also my grandpa, my second grandpa, and my great aunt. I will visit them and care for them whenever I have time.
As for Wangcai and the others, I have to ask them every two days if they are eating well and sleeping well..."
"Stop, stop, stop. How can your little brain remember so many things?"
Even Emperor Kangxi was stunned after hearing this, and looked at his grandson with an incredible expression.
The Thirteenth Master and the Fourteenth Master beside him stared at the boss and came forward.
"This kid, how old is he, but he has more things to worry about every day than the old woman next to me. Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law are treating the child like a donkey!" Fourteen said in shock.
"Hey, what are you talking about, kid? Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up!" Emperor Kangxi's eyes widened when he heard Fourteenth calling his grandson a donkey. If his grandson was a donkey, then what was he?
The Fourteenth Master shrank his neck and said, "Father, please calm down. That... your son said something wrong. I won't dare to say it again."
"How can the Emperor not be angry?" Dabao stretched out his little hand and stroked Emperor Kangxi's chest twice. He put on a mature and steady look, frowning as he said, "Fourteenth Uncle is ignorant. Your Majesty, please don't argue with him. He said that Father and Mother ordered Dabao around, but that's not the case. Mother told Dabao to take a break, and it was Dabao who took responsibility."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around were petrified.
Fourteen's eyes widened in shock. "This, this, this... is this child really three years old? Thirteenth brother, why do I feel like he's more sensible than me?"
The Thirteenth Master glanced at the Fourteenth Master beside him and could not help but say, "You still have some self-awareness."
He then took Dabao's shoulder, looked him in the eye, and gently asked, "Dabao, tell Uncle Thirteen the truth. Aren't you tired of being so busy every day?"
Dabao blinked in surprise, a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Busy? Uncle Thirteen, I don't feel busy."
Thirteen: "But... can you remember so many things in your head? Don't you feel tired?"
Dabao tilted his head and thought for a moment: "How difficult is this? My brothers can remember it. If you don't believe me, ask Erbao."
After hearing this, the Thirteenth Master subconsciously shifted his gaze to Erbao.
Erbao was practicing his little hammer in his head at the moment. When he heard him being called, he came out of his thoughts and tilted his head, saying, "I'll remember it."
"Yeah, it's not that much, of course I can remember it." Sibao nodded, then suddenly moved closer to Thirteenth Master, with a hint of doubt on his face, and said, "Thirteenth Uncle, you can't possibly not remember such a small amount?"
The Thirteenth Master was stunned for a moment. He thought he had probably remembered it, but the matter was a bit complicated and it would take him a while to think about it.
Just as he was stunned, he saw Sanbao beside him frowning and patting Sibao's hand.
"Silly brother, you can't look down on Uncle Thirteen like this. How could Uncle Thirteen not remember such a small thing? He must remember every word that Big Brother said. Stop it."
Thirteen:"……"
Sibao curled his lips and turned around to eat the shrimps on the table.
Thirteenth Master looked at his nephews with a hint of disbelief. "Do you really remember everything? Sanbao, come here and repeat it to Uncle Thirteen." Sanbao was the only one who looked dazed. Thirteenth Master pointed directly at him.
Sanbao had already picked up his chopsticks. After hearing what Master Thirteen said, he was a little dissatisfied: "Uncle Thirteen, I'm still eating."
"Hurry up, if you really memorize it, Uncle Thirteen will give you two more dishes."
Sanbao's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at his brother. Seeing Dabao nod, Sanbao smiled and clapped his hands. He stood up and repeated everything Dabao had just said, without missing a word.
After saying that, she pursed her lips and smiled at her brother.
Dabao immediately walked over and patted Sanbao on the shoulder: "Brother, good job, you remember it clearly."
Sibao was dissatisfied and curled his lips: "Brother, everyone remembers such a small thing! You only praise the third brother."
Dabao tilted his head and thought for a while, then finally patted his fourth brother on the head: "Sibao is also very smart."
After thinking about it, I couldn't favor one over the other, so I reached out my little hand and touched Erbao's little face again: "Erbao is also smart."
Erbao was completely confused at the moment: "Huh?" He stood there for a moment with a puzzled look on his face.
"Pfft..." The Fourteenth Master looked at Erbao's dazed look and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
But as he laughed, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he looked towards the Thirteenth Master beside him with some concern.
"Thirteenth brother, I couldn't compare to Hongxi in memorizing before. That kid has been smart since he was young. Some people even say he is a child prodigy. It's not too embarrassing to be unable to compare to him.
Will I be no match for these brats who are not even three years old in the future?" Thinking of this, Fourteen shuddered.
Thirteen glanced at him and said, "... maybe not in the future. You might not be able to compete with me now."
Thirteenth Master immediately smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Who among you is the best at memorizing? Have you learned the Thousand Character Classic?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the little ones looked at each other, but no one responded to Thirteenth Master.
Thirteenth Master was a little confused: "Hurry up and speak, Dabao, you speak."
Dabao touched him and said, "Uncle Thirteen, can you please stop laughing?"
The Thirteenth Master was stunned: "Huh?"
Dabao: "You were laughing...laughing..."
"What's wrong with your smile?" Thirteenth Master felt that he had tried his best to be more gentle just now.
"Uncle Thirteen, you don't smile like a good person." Sibao took a look at his eldest brother's expression, which showed that he couldn't bear to hurt Uncle Thirteen, and couldn't help but say, "It's just like the human traffickers in the story about children."
Thirteen: "...human traffickers?"
Almost all the treasures beside him looked over, and Sanbao nodded seriously: "Brother, what you said makes sense."
Erbao also nodded: "That makes sense."
Dabao blinked twice: "Well... although it makes sense, you can't be rude to Uncle Thirteen."
"Oh." The younger ones responded and bowed to the Thirteenth Master together: "I'm sorry, Uncle Thirteen."
The Thirteenth Master was also confused for a moment: "No, no, no, I'm not used to so many formalities."
I can still meet such a child in my past and present lives.
You have to know that he had contact with several of his fourth brother's sons in his previous life, but they were not like this kind of person.
Thirteen couldn't contain his curiosity and couldn't help but observe his nephews again.
But Dabao grinned and said, "My brothers are so good."
"Hey, Dabao, I didn't realize you're quite impressive." Fourteen glanced at Dabao in surprise. "Are you good at memorizing? You're taking care of so many things every day. Are you using all your intelligence on these trivial matters? You definitely can't concentrate on your studies, right?"
Before Dabao could say anything, Erbao beside him was completely upset. He even stopped practicing with his hammer and frowned, saying, "Fourteenth Uncle, you're talking nonsense. My brother is a great student. He's the best among us. He's also the best at writing and drawing."
"Yes, the eldest brother is very powerful. Even the second brother who is the most violent in our family listens to him." Sanbao agreed.
Thirteenth Master: "Can Dabao write something or draw a picture for me to see?"
Thirteen asked with curiosity on his face. He was really curious and wanted to know what other abilities his nephew had.
The Fourteenth Master was a little nervous at this moment.
If he was really outdone by a three-year-old child, how would he face people in the future?
If he was really that amazing, wouldn't it be a great honor to take him out with me in the future? This child prodigy is my own nephew. For a moment, I was extremely conflicted, but my eyes couldn't help but fall on Dabao.
"No." Dabao shook his head.
Several people looked at him together: "Why?"
It is said that Emperor Kangxi, the Thirteenth Master and the Fourteenth Master all asked this question in unison.
Thirteen and Fourteen looked at each other, and subconsciously looked at Emperor Kangxi beside them.
The Emperor was sitting there with his head down, drinking tea, and they thought he wasn't listening to them.
"Well, I'm curious too. Dabao, why don't you show it to your two uncles?"
In fact, Emperor Kangxi's attention has always been on this side, and he even began to feel nervous unconsciously. His expression also became a little serious.
Emperor Kangxi knew that his grandchildren were very smart, so he specially appointed ministers to teach them their lessons.
During this period, ministers like Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, who taught their grandchildren, also said that the children were very smart and could understand things quickly.
Emperor Kangxi was naturally delighted to hear the minister's words. He also wanted to take some time to see how his grandchildren were doing with their studies. However, he was always busy and had to deal with other things before he could even see them memorize their lessons. He thought they would be like Hongxi back then. But he never expected them to be so intelligent.
At that moment, he looked at his grandson with some nervousness.
Dabao tilted his head and thought for a moment. "If you want to hear the Imperial Law, I can recite it myself. But, as Father said, when studying, one should establish a mind for heaven and earth, a life for the people. To carry on the lost knowledge of the sages, and to bring peace to the world for all eternity. It's not something to show off."
Dabao has learned so little yet, so he needs to work harder in the future."
"Brother, you can't work harder. Mother said that you can't read for more than four hours a day. If you go to bed any later, you'll be too sleepy to yawn when you go to practice martial arts the next day. Aunt Dashao will spank you." Erbao couldn't help but frowned and warned.
Dabao patted his brother's shoulder in a serious manner and said, "Brother, I know."
"You, you, you...you study for four hours every day? How can you sit still?" The Fourteenth Master's eyes almost fell to the ground.
I unconsciously tried to recall what I was doing when I was three years old, but I definitely didn't remember reading.
After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but ask again, "You're so young, how come you have so many things to do every day? Can you handle it? Erbao just said that you guys have to get up early to practice martial arts?"
"I've heard a little about this." The Thirteenth Master nodded. After all, he had been on a northern tour with the Fourth Master and the others, and he had more or less seen that his nephews were quite busy every day.
Actually, eight hours of study a day isn't too long, after all, there are people who forget to eat and sleep and spend the whole day studying. But they are only three years old now.
"Then how many hours do you need to practice martial arts?" Fourteen couldn't help but ask again.
"Uncle Fourteenth, how can practicing martial arts be calculated by hours? Anda only teaches for one hour, but I practice martial arts every moment when I have free time." Erbao said. He practiced his little hammer in his mind every day.
Fourteenth swallowed hard, but before he could say anything, Emperor Kangxi glared at him the next second.
"Why are you so talkative?" Emperor Kangxi then patted Erbao's head and said, "Erbao is very hardworking."
Then, he looked at Dabao again: "Dabao, do you know what you just said? Where did it come from?
Dabao: "Of course I know. The Imperial Law, what my father told Dabao, is Mr. Hengqu's family motto."
It is said that all descendants of Mr. Hengqu's family must learn this family motto by heart. It is so that they can always remember their original aspirations.
"Wow, big brother is amazing, I don't even understand."
Erbao looked at his brother with sparkling eyes and clapped his hands.
He immediately noticed that Sanbao and Sibao were staring blankly, and immediately frowned: "Why don't you clap for your brother?"
Sanbao and Sibao looked at each other and immediately clapped their hands.
When the eldest brother gets angry, he will reason with them, but when the second brother gets angry, he will beat them up. And the beatings are very painful.
