“When the sun is at its highest point in the sky, I am hoeing the field and my sweat drips down to the soil. But who knows that every grain of rice on the table is the result of hard work?” Sanbao fluently recited the poem that every child in his previous life knew.
Jin Zheng was stunned for a moment. This poem is catchy and easy to understand, but it perfectly expresses the hard work of farmers.
"Good, good, very good. This poem is well written, and the young lady recited it even better. Two young gentlemen, can you each recite a poem for me?" Jin Zheng looked at the two little boys again.
Dabao and Erbao also recited a poem each to show off.
Jin Zheng tested them with a few more math questions, then dipped some tea in the paper and wrote a few words on the table for them to recognize.
None of them stumped them.
"Your Majesty, I have never seen such intelligent children. Would you like to let them worship me as their teacher? I will be their mentor."
He had never accepted such a young child as his disciple, but the three treasures made him feel so special that he took a fancy to them.
Not for the purpose of cultivating talents for scientific examinations, but simply because I like these children.
Even Sanbao didn't mind that she was a girl.
"Haha, it's their blessing to be able to become Master Jin's disciple. But we still have to ask Ziqi and his wife." The prince certainly wanted it very much, but he couldn't do this without his daughter-in-law.
He didn't know when it started, but he no longer dared to make decisions on behalf of his son and daughter-in-law. Especially since Yu Yuzheng had the power to make the decision, he would ask his daughter-in-law's opinion.
Although the child is his grandson, he was born to his daughter-in-law.
After hearing this, Jin Zheng looked at the prince with a playful look.
No one in this family could do it for their grandson, which shows the status of the savior in the palace.
However, if such a woman was his daughter, his Jin family would probably dote on her in the same way.
When most of the guests had arrived, Yu Qingsheng and Shangguan Ziqi came back from the front door.
On this day, the Yu Mansion was bustling all afternoon.
The guests did not leave until after 3 p.m.
The prince then told the couple what Jin Zhengxu meant.
"Sister, you must agree. My teacher is a literary giant and has a great way of teaching and educating people. It would be a great honor for me to be taught by him." Yu Qingsheng expressed his opinion immediately after hearing this.
He understands this deeply.
Yu Yuzheng didn't know much about ancient education, and thought, isn't it a waste of talent to let a literary master teach such a young child?
In the end, she hasn't said anything yet, but her brother is so optimistic about it.
"What do you think, father?" Yu Yuzheng asked the prince for his opinion.
“It is indeed great to be able to receive enlightenment from Master Jin.
However, the children of Prince Rong's Mansion do not need to take the imperial examinations to get a government job, unless they are hopeless.
Just deliver it for half a day every day.
The year after next, Dabao and Xiaobao will be five years old and it’s time to start practicing 㰜.
Dabao will be the crown prince of the royal palace, and Erbao will be the marquis of the country.
Both of them must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Great Wei, and learning martial arts and military tactics well is the most important thing."
"Okay, let's do as father says."
He didn't even ask Shangguan Ziqi for his opinion.
Yu Zheng made up her mind.
"Mom, Sanbao also wants to learn martial arts." Sanbao was unhappy when she heard the adults talking and only asked her eldest and second brothers to learn martial arts but left her behind.
"Okay, Daddy will definitely teach us Sanbao martial arts. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, you will beat him." Shangguan Ziqi supported his daughter.
This caused Yu Zheng to glare at him.
If my daughter starts beating people she sees, how will she get married?
That's how it's decided.
The next day, Yu Zheng brought her three children to the Jin family to pay homage to their teacher.
From then on, the three treasures officially became Jin Zheng's youngest students in his life.
He is delivered there at noon every morning and picked up at noon after lunch at the Jin family.
Take one day off every ten days.
We also have holidays.
Yu Zheng felt that time passed so quickly. Before she knew it, she had already traveled through time for five years.
After recognizing the master, he returned to the mansion and came to the main courtyard, where he saw Yu Chaoyang and his child in the courtyard.
The prince gave this child a name, Shangguan Changling. He is already over one year old and has a chubby face.
Just a little shy and not lively enough.
Maybe it’s because it has been kept in the yard.
Shangguan Zishu's other concubine, Jin Ling, was also there.
"Meet the sister-in-law."
"Meet the Crown Princess."
When the two saw Yu Yuzheng leading the three children in, they stood up and saluted.
The three children rushed to their grandfather and told him how they had become his apprentices the day before.
"Are you looking for Concubine Li?" Yu Yuzheng asked casually.
"It's been a long time since I paid my respects to Concubine Li. I'm here to pay my respects to her." Yu Chaoyang said softly.
"Ling'er, come here and call aunt." Yu Chaoyang pushed the child in front of Yu Zheng.
But the child kept backing away and finally hid behind Yu Chaoyang.
Yu Zheng felt a little sympathy when she saw that the child was so shy.
He squatted down and smiled gently and coaxingly.
"Ling'er, Auntie has a lot of fun things. Do you want them? If you call me Auntie, I'll give them all to you."
The child blinked and tried to get out from behind Yu Chaoyang's legs, but he didn't dare.
"Ling'er, be good and call me aunt." Yu Chaoyang pulled him out from behind his legs again.
Yu Yuzheng took a toy and played with it in front of the child.
It was a windmill. Yu Zheng made it by pasting several layers of paper together and then cutting it with scissors.
The child had no resistance to toys and was tickled to play with them, so he moved closer to Yu Zheng step by step.
Finally, he took the windmill from Yu Yuzheng and tried to blow it as hard as she did. However, the force was not enough and it did not turn fast enough, but it already looked pretty good.
I coaxed him to call someone, and he really spoke: "Auntie."
At this time, a voice came from outside the door.
"Meet the prince."
Then I saw the prince striding in.
"Father."
"Meet the father."
"Well. Has Zishu's wife come to see you, prince?" The prince seldom saw this cheap daughter-in-law.
Seeing her here, she probably came to look for him or the princess.
"Yes, father." Yu Chaoyang smiled shyly.
The prince walked to the seat and sat down.
His three grandsons and one daughter surrounded him and called out to him one by one.
The prince hugged each of the children before sending them outside to play.
"Tell me, what do you want to see the king for?"
"Father, my husband has been gone for more than a year. He is not your biological son. It is no longer appropriate for your daughter-in-law to live in this palace.
My father has been very kind to allow us to live here until now, but I, your daughter-in-law, should not be ungrateful.
So the daughter-in-law planned to move out of the palace with her children and find a place to live in Beijing.
When the child is three years old, the daughter-in-law will send him to the clan school, and will teach him well and let him grow up safely.
If he is a good student, he can take the imperial examination. If not, he can ask the clan to find a wife for him, and then he can marry, have children, and live an ordinary life.
Please grant me your permission, Father."
Yu Chaoyang told us his plan.
She had been thinking about this plan for a long time, but had kept it to herself until now.
First, the child is too young, and second, the prince has been away and has not returned.
It would be awkward for her to leave when no one in the family was around.
The prince frowned after hearing her plan.
"What do you think, Princess?" the prince asked the princess beside him.
"Is Chaoyang planning to take everyone in Zishu's family away?" The princess saw that only she and Jin Ling came, and there was also Cao Nanhua.
"Princess Li, my daughter-in-law will only take Jin Ling away.
The daughter-in-law said that she would be free to remarry, but she was unwilling.
She wanted to raise Ling'er together with her daughter-in-law. So her daughter-in-law took her along. So they both had company. "
How could Yu Chaoyang bring Cao Nanhua with him? Ever since Cao Nanhua married into the palace, the two were destined to be enemies.
"Qiuye, go call Nanhua." The prince ordered the maid serving beside him.
