The emperor left Chang'an on the 16th.
This time, Emperor Ming Yan's main concern was probably about the Champa rice, and he also wanted to see what kind of impact the Ministry of Commerce had brought to the world. Therefore, the routes he decided were mostly land routes, with relatively few water routes, which was a bit of a detour.
Yan Shiyue didn't know that just after she left, someone arrived in Chang'an City and saw Zheng Haoran, who had transformed into a "soldier". After asking, they found out that Yan Shiyue was accompanying the emperor on a southern tour.
Zheng Haoran said: "Uncle Master, why don't you wait in Chang'an City and go around for a walk."
The handsome man who was called Master Uncle was very dissatisfied: "She's gone for several months, how boring it would be for me to wait? Since this girl is so interesting, why don't I go and tease her?"
Zheng Haoran advised, “Uncle Master, since you have decided to take the right path, do less of those things…Uncle Master! Uncle Master!”
Before he could finish his words, the handsome man had already jumped out. Zheng Haoran couldn't catch up with him and said anxiously, "What should we do? Uncle Master is arrogant and unruly, we better not cause any trouble!"
"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Jiang Tao said, "Even if it's a little rude, I'll forgive it for looking at my uncle's face."
Zheng Haoran: “…”
Of course Yan Shiyue didn't know about these things.
...
...
She is busy with travel education.
Because Jiaozi and Nian Gao had already begun to learn, they had almost memorized the Three Character Classic after a year. Then Yan Shiyue thought that since they would be bored in the car during the journey which lasted for several months, it would be a good opportunity to tell them stories.
There were many enlightenment reading materials in ancient times. In addition to the Three Character Classic, there were also "The Augmented Collection of Wise Sayings", "The Rules for Being a Good Pupil and Child", "The Classic of Young Learners", and so on.
There is a popular saying: "After reading Zeng Guang, you will be able to speak, and after reading You Xue, you will be able to travel the world."
But both of them were written in the Ming Dynasty and had not yet been published at that time. Moreover, she could recite most of Zeng Guang Xian Wen because it was in more colloquial Chinese and there were nursery rhymes playing everywhere, but she really could not remember You Xue Qiong Lin and could only remember a few classic sentences.
For example, "Peach and plum trees are silent, yet people walk under them; the bitter plum trees by the roadside are discarded by people.", "Use copper as a mirror to adjust your clothes; use the past as a mirror to understand the rise and fall of things." and so on.
You have to know that she was not interested in such flowery things back then.
So she memorized the Augmented Collection of Wise Sayings first, and then asked her shadow guard to secretly take it outside to print it and make it look old. Then, when it was available in the market, she would buy another copy.
On the way, she planned to just finish reading the three books "Thousand Character Classic", "Three Character Classic" and "Enlarged Collection of Wise Sayings" to the two children.
Huo Qijing was still serving as a guard and was not in the car most of the time. When Yan Shiyue had nothing to do, she would take the two children to ride in the Queen's car or the Emperor's car.
Emperor Ming Yan really wanted to relax this time, so he told the prince not to report any matters to him. He was sincere about it, but an emperor who is busy with all kinds of affairs would inevitably feel bored when he suddenly has some free time.
Fortunately, the prince started submitting forms here from the next day.
It is clear at a glance, saving 90% of the effort and allowing you to control the overall situation in a timely manner.
Emperor Ming Yan was obviously very satisfied. When Yan Shiyue passed by, Emperor Ming Yan asked her, "Did you come up with this idea?"
Yan Shiyue stretched his head to take a look and said, "This must be a skill stolen from our business department! Now many places are stealing skills from our business department! And they don't even pay!"
Emperor Mingyan smiled and said nothing more. Nian Gao had already opened his arms and fell softly into his arms: "Yeah yeah!"
Emperor Ming Yan and the Empress both liked to eat rice cakes.
It's not that girls are favored over boys, but Xiao Jiaozi, who is guided by Huo Qijing, has a heavy burden as the eldest brother, and he also has a calm personality.
As for Nian Gao, in the words of Emperor Ming Yan, she is 100% like her. She likes to act coquettishly, loves to fight for your embrace, and has a sweet little mouth. Who wouldn't like such a white little person to hug you and say "I miss you" softly? So it is inevitable that I like to hug Nian Gao more.
As the group was talking, Jiaozi looked around with a telescope and suddenly pointed outside and asked, "Mom, is that a lamb?"
Yan Shiyue looked at the hilltop in the distance and said, "That should be it, right?"
Dumpling asked: "Why isn't the lamb's skin white?"
Yan Shiyue said casually: "It got dirty from the wind and sun!"
Jiaozi said to her seriously: "Lamb's skin, five strands of white silk."
Yan Shiyue couldn't remember where this sentence came from, and then her son said: "The ink mourns the dyeing of silk, and the poem praises the lamb. Jingxing is a virtuous man, and Ke Nian is a saint."
Yan Shiyue: “…”
The general meaning of this sentence is that Mozi lamented that white silk was stained with other colors, while the Book of Songs praised the lamb for always being pure and white. We should admire the virtues of saints, restrain our selfish desires, and strive to emulate saints.
So, what the dumplings mean is, why isn't the lamb white? This is different from what the book says!
The three intellectuals in the carriage looked at her with a smile, clearly waiting to see how she would answer.
Yan Shiyue never expected that her son, who was only three years old, couldn't answer the questions he asked. So why did people in ancient times need to start learning so early?
Then she said seriously, "This shows that the person who wrote the Thousand Characters is lazy and doesn't know the difference between grains. The Book of Songs says that lamb fur coats are white, but it doesn't say that lambs are white. Why didn't he think about the fact that lambs have to go through several processes to be made into lamb fur coats..."
Before she finished speaking, Emperor Ming Yan couldn't help but say, "Get out now! You are misleading the students!"
Yan Shiyue was then kicked out.
She is really innocent. These people only read from the book. Why don't they think about it? You said it was just a description. Can children understand it? Besides, what she said is not wrong. Let children understand the reality better and not blindly believe in books. What's wrong with that?
But from then on, Emperor Ming Yan forbade her to give random explanations to the children.
In his words, Jiaozi was originally a good seedling, but he became a bad kid because of her improper teaching.
Then Emperor Ming Yan, Xu Wenqu and Qu Sinian would explain to him whoever was free, and the progress did not slow down.
Yan Shiyue enjoyed her leisure time. She was not good at it, so she changed into men's clothes and rode back and forth on a horse. From time to time, she and Zhou Jianwei would leave the main group and take a walk around the local area.
After all, this place is close to Chang'an City, where the government is stable and the people are harmonious everywhere. Besides, even if there is something, they can't see it by just rushing around like this. They can only walk around for a while longer unless the emperor rests at night.
Yan Shiyue casually bought some local gadgets, such as small windmills and clay figurines. When he was walking back, a man dressed as a scholar, who seemed to be drunk, staggered towards him and said, "My wife!" and then reached out to hug him.
Jiahe quickly blocked the attack and the man jumped and hugged him.
Yan Shiyue took a glance and saw the man's fingers bent subconsciously.
She didn't care and walked back with Zhou Jianwei. The drunken man looked up, revealing a beautiful face. He then stood up with a burp, looked at Jia He, and said, "Not my wife..." Then he walked away staggeringly.
Jiahe then gave a look, and someone followed him. Jiahe came back and said, "He must be really drunk. He smells strongly of alcohol."
Yan Shiyue felt that the man was not drunk to the point of losing his mind, but rather seemed to be acting like a hooligan.
But it didn't matter, she took the little toy back to entertain the child.
