Back in the main courtyard, Shirley looked puzzled when she saw Su Peisheng waiting outside!
Then I saw that Yinzhen was reading her "Travels of Xu Xiake".
"Son greets Father!" The little guy's voice was sweet and adorable.
"Hmm!" Yinzhen responded.
Seeing his cold face, Sherry told the little guy to go downstairs to bathe and change.
She greeted them and sat on the other side, taking a bite of snack and a sip of milk tea!
The air suddenly became still!
The servants who served them all moved very quietly.
"Tomorrow is a day off, let's go to the estate together!" Yinzhen suddenly said.
Sherry was somewhat surprised and nodded.
After all, she wanted to go out and have fun with her daughter, but she also had to take her illegitimate children with her, so she couldn't enjoy herself to the fullest.
“Moyaqi will go again next time!” Yinzhen added.
He recalled the surprise in the eldest princess's eyes when he suggested taking her out, but Madam Li felt that her daughter should be gentle and virtuous, and learn embroidery and such.
He was displeased and asked Moyaqi again, but the eldest princess hesitated for a long time and still couldn't say anything!
He couldn't explain the feeling of being overwhelmed...
Shirley didn't care how complicated his emotions were; after all, he was expressionless, and she couldn't guess what was going on.
Sherry happily reminded the servants not to forget to bring her newly painted snake and dragon kites! Tsk, what was that saying again? Lifelike, vividly depicted!
Yinzhen stared blankly at her happy and delighted smile.
Sherry met his gaze, paused for a moment, and then smiled with restraint and gentleness.
Then, Yinzhen's expression turned even uglier!
Sherry: Holy crap, am I really that eye-watering?
System: Is it possible that you've misunderstood?
Sherry: What's that? Did I laugh wrong? (⊙o⊙)
System: Sigh, I understand. This great demon doesn't have much brain capacity. I guess I can understand...
Sherry: →_→
Shirley ignored the system's rambling and began to have a blank expression.
Fine, I won't smile then. I don't want to smile at you either. Humph!
Then the atmosphere suddenly became awkward!
After a long while!
"By the way, the gifts you gave to Moyaqi and Hongyun, they really liked them. You were so thoughtful!" Yinzhen suddenly said.
"Hehehe! Of course!" Sherry laughed, but it sounded like a sneer.
Thank goodness she wasn't the original owner, otherwise, at first glance, it would seem like the original owner was being excluded.
So you're a family of four? Humph!
The atmosphere suddenly became even more awkward!
The little guy broke the awkward silence.
The little guy handed the book to Sherry, glanced at his father, and his cheeks turned bright red.
"Mom, I've memorized them all!" The little guy's eyes were serious when he talked about his homework.
Sherry took the book from him and casually read a line: "Filial piety and brotherly love are paramount."
"First, filial piety and brotherly love; next, knowledge and experience. Know certain numbers and recognize certain characters."
One becomes ten, ten becomes a hundred. A hundred becomes a thousand, a thousand becomes ten thousand.
The three powers are Heaven, Earth, and Man. The three luminaries are the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars.
The three cardinal relationships are: loyalty between ruler and subject, affection between father and son, and harmony between husband and wife.
The little one stood with his hands behind his back, reciting earnestly, his sweet, childlike voice filling the air.
“Great-great-grandfather,” Shirley said again.
"Great-great-grandfather, father, and oneself. Oneself, then son, then grandson."
From sons and grandsons to great-great-grandsons, these are the nine generations of human relatives.
Father and son should be kind to each other, husband and wife should be harmonious. Elder brothers should be friendly, and younger brothers should be respectful.
Respect the elders and juniors, and befriend and associate with them. Respect the ruler and be loyal to the subject.
These ten principles are common to all. When taught by your teacher, do not disobey them.
The little guy is so cute, diligently memorizing his lessons! (＞?＜)☆
Sherry looked at him and wished she could rub him.
"Jade needs no carving!" Yinzhen looked at his son, his eyes full of admiration.
"Jade that is not carved cannot become a vessel. A person who does not learn cannot know righteousness. As a child, one should be close to teachers and friends, and learn etiquette." The little boy looked at his father and mother's smiles and his face lit up with a big smile.
"Very good, Honghui, you also need to understand its meaning, understand?"
Yinzhen was naturally satisfied, and his expression improved considerably.
"Yes, son understands. Father, son wants to read other books, do you have any?"
“If you want to study, you’ll have plenty of time later! Take advantage of this opportunity to have fun!” Sherry quickly interrupted.
The Qing Dynasty was deeply Sinicized.
Therefore, Qing dynasty princes would definitely read Confucian classics, the works of various philosophers, and the Twenty-Four Histories.
The Four Books and Five Classics are indispensable when children are first learning.
In addition, one must learn one's own ethnic language, and also learn Mongolian.
During the Qing Dynasty, the imperial education system only had a break from the first to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year; the rest of the time was spent in classes.
They studied literature in the morning and practiced martial arts in the afternoon, so they were proficient in both.
Not only the sons of Emperor Kangxi, but all the princes before Emperor Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty were not spoiled brats, which was inseparable from their strict education.
Thinking about all this, Sherry felt a little sorry for the little guy.
The original owner actually had high expectations for the little guy, hoping that he would win his father's favor.
As a result, the little guy studied desperately, exhausting himself both mentally and physically, but ultimately couldn't overcome a serious illness.
The original owner gradually regained consciousness after losing her child.
Sherry wanted him to have a complete childhood, otherwise it would be too hard for him.
Yinzhen had previously harbored some resentment towards the original owner's high-pressure treatment of his son.
He mentioned it once, but the original owner didn't listen, and he didn't say anything else.
Hearing what Sherry said, his eyes showed surprise and confusion.
“Your mother is right. There will be plenty of opportunities to learn in the future. There’s no need to rush!” Yinzhen had great patience with the child.
While preparing dinner, Shirley told the little guy a travelogue.
The little guy's eyes were sparkling.
Fortunately, Sydney used to read books often to pass the time, so she has a decent understanding of geography, folklore, and history.
