Chapter 65 Pleasant Sheep and Grey Taro
After resting for a long time, Qin Mubai estimated that Li Zhi and others should wake up, so he returned to the bedroom of Penglai Hall. When he went out of the bedroom, he was amused. There is a sound in the room——
"Beautiful, I'm a beautiful sheep, ninth brother, you're a gray wolf! You come and catch me, catch me, hee hee!" Li Mingda's voice.
"No! I'm a happy sheep! Hui Taro has a scar on his face and a fierce wife who hits his head with a spoon. I don't want to be Hui Taro!" Li Zhi said it with indignation.
"What should I do? There is no Hui Taro - wet nurse, why don't you pretend to be Hui Taro?"
"No, the wet nurse is a woman, and Hui Taro is a man - let the wet nurse pretend to be Hui Taro's wife. Ask that eunuch to pretend to be Hui Taro, haha!"
"Good! OK! Brother Jiu, you are smart, hee hee - why don't you come and play with us!"
......
Qin Mubai stood outside the door and listened for a long time, and couldn't help laughing. The room rang into a sound, and the eunuchs and maids were all called to play roles. The sheep on the ground were rolling around, and Mr. and Mrs. Hui Taro turned around to chase them away. It was really noisy. The laughter of Li Zhi and Li Mingda can be described as rampant.
When they were tired of playing, Qin Mubai pushed the door and went in.
Li Zhi and Li Mingda have already sat on the ground and gasped, still giggling. Those eunuch palace wet nurses rolled all over the ground for a long time, and they were also tossed around.
"Look, General Qin is here! Hee hee!" Li Mingda stretched out his little hand and pointed to Qin Mubai with a smile.
"Can we let him pretend to be the village head and protect us?" Li Zhi said.
"Okay, okay!" Li Mingda clapped his hands, "General Qin, you are the village head, and you are the village head who protects us!"
Qin Mubai came over with a smile and squatted down and patted them on the back: "Okay, I'm the village head. I'm the village head to protect you - look, the clothes are sweaty when you play. Mammy, I'm going to bathe the two little highnesses. I have to go to my husband's place for class later.
"No, I don't want to go to class!" Li Zhi shook his head stubbornly, "I'm going to play Happy Sheep and Grey Taro!"
"Brother Jiu, go!" Li Mingda shook Li Zhi's hand and said, "I haven't finished a word yesterday!" Go, go, why don't you play when you come back?"
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "King of Jin, look how good the princess is, like a beautiful sheep. Since you are the smartest and most sensible sheep, how can you play truant from class? That will become the most useless lazy sheep.
"Oh... Then I'll go to study." Li Zhi looked at Qin Mubai in a frenze and nodded.
"That's good." Qin Mubai patted them on the back, "Now, go take a shower first. I'll take you to your husband's place later."
"Oh!"
The two little guys were taken to take a shower by the wet nurse, and Qin Mubai breathed another breath. Today, he doesn't know how much he has breathed. This is really not good at dealing with children. Ten-year-old Li Zhi is sometimes not as sensible and smart as five or six-year-old Li Mingda. The future emperor of the Tang Dynasty now seems to be a little dull, at least not very clever compared with Princess Gaoyang and Li Mingda. That's right. If he grows up and wise like his father, how can he give up the good Tang Dynasty to Wu Mei Niang?
But not now. Wu Meiniang has become my daughter-in-law of Qin Mubai, and there has been a little deviation in history... Since it has been deflected, can Li Zhi be the emperor in the end?
Thinking of this, Qin Mubai felt a little confused and had a big head. Finally, he decided that he simply didn't think about it. No matter what history eventually turns into, my own life must be wonderful. It is said that the current era of the Tang Dynasty is not bad. I am embarrassed to do things that harm the country and the people. It is also very fulfilling to make great achievements for future generations to admire.
Soon, Qin Mubai led Li Zhi and Li Mingda to study in the study.
Li Shimin invited the teacher for these two princes, but he is famous - Yu Shinan!
Yu Shinan is almost 80 years old. He was already a rank official, but Li Shimin loved his talent deeply and hired him as a bachelor of Hongwenguan after he begged for bones. There, he is undoubtedly a figure like Taishan Beidou. As early as the Sui Dynasty, he was the living person of Emperor Yang, that is, a secretary and think tank. Later, he became one of the 18 bachelors of the Qin Palace. He was full of knowledge and was praised by the world. Li Shimin praised his "morality, loyalty, eruity, literary poetry, and calligraphy" as the five best. In fact, his best is still Shuhan, that is, calligraphy.
Yu Shinan's calligraphy was studied by Wang Xizhi's seventh grandson and Sui Dynasty calligrapher Zhiyong Zen Master, and gained the essence. Nowadays, he is recognized as the "first stroke of the dynasty". Li Shimin highly respects his calligraphy. In his early years, when he was healthy, most of Li Shimin's decrees came from his handwriting.
Although Qin Mubai has always been more conceited, he has always respected Yu Shinan, an outstanding and talented elder. When he brought the two princes here, he also saluted Yu Shinan with a very sincere attitude.
Yu Shinan's hair and beard are all white. It seems that he is not in good health. After looking at Qin Mubai for a long time, he said, "Are you... General Qin Mubai, right?"
"Does Mr. Yu recognize me?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "That's right, it's just below."
"Not bad, not bad, it's really a talent, and the future is terrible!" Yu Shinan stroked the silvery white beard with his withered and smiled.
"Mr. praised it. I have been very ashamed that I have no knowledge in my lower abdomen. Qin Mubai said.
"General Qin is too modest." Yu Shinan laughed and said, "Five-flowered horse, Qianjin Qiu, Huer will exchange wine and sell eternal hatred with you - such a poem can be made by people who are reckless in their stomachs?"
"Uh...this!" Qin Mubai was dumb for a moment. At this time, he suddenly remembered that Li Tai did say that he wanted to ask Yu Shinan to write down this poem and then engrave it into a tablet. Has this been done?
"Ha ha, gossip, Your Highness, please sit down. Shall we start the class?" Yu Shinan changed the topic and said to the Li Zhi brothers and sisters.
Li Zhi and his sister sat down in a regular manner and began to go to class. There are two classes today, one is to learn the Classic of Filial Piety, and the other is to practice calligraphy. After the course began, Qin Mubai went out and waited outside the door.
I heard a second child reading the Book of Filial Piety in the room, which was quite elegant and childish. Later, when learning calligraphy, Qin Mubai walked in and glanced at it twice. It is expected that the words written by five or six-year-old Li Mingda are much better than Li Zhi's.
Li Zhixue is Yu Shinan's font, while Li Mingda is a self-created "flying white book" created by Li Shimin. At a young age of five or six, Li Mingda has already learned the charm of this Feibai book. Yu Shinan looked at Qin Mubai and nodded and smiled, meaning to praise and marvel at the little girl.
"What a talented child!" Qin Mubai was also amazed.
After the class of the two little dolls, they cheered and asked Qin Mubai to start telling them stories. Qin Mubai coaxed them to wait outside the study for a while. He walked to Yu Shinan and bowed.
"What's wrong with General Qin?" Yu Shinan asked with a smile.
"Sir, I have a heartless invitation. I don't know if you can agree?" Qin Mubai said.
"General, let's talk about it."
"I also like reading on weekdays. I just read a lot of places and don't know much about them. In the barracks and the palace, I don't know who to ask for advice next time. Qin Mubai smiled and said, "So I'm thinking, if there is anything I don't understand in the future, can I ask you for advice?"
"Yes!" Yu Shinan is very cheerful. There is no pretentiousness common to many literati. He laughed and said, "Are you so diligent, studious and modest? If I can point out young people like you, it is also a blessing!" I haven't had a good life in a few days. If I can leave a little more in the world, just leave a little more, hehe!"
"Thank you, Mr. Yu!" Qin Mubai thanked him gratefully.
In fact, Qin Mubai is really not very interested in those poems and articles, ancient books and classics. The reason why I want to "steal the teacher" to Yu Shinan like this is nothing more than to get more guidance from him as an official and the way to deal with the world.
Yu Shinan served beside the emperor in both dynasties. His knowledge and knowledge in many aspects are enough to be Qin Mubai's teacher. Since the last conflict with Changsun Huan, Qin Mubai has deeply understood the truth that "there are people outside and there is heaven outside", and also realized that he is really very young and tender, and must strengthen practice and learning.
At present, isn't Yu Shinan the best teacher? Follow him and you can learn anything. Confucian calligraphy, poetry and rhetoric, and even the way to be an official in the world... A person like Yu Shinan is a living library in itself!
"Good, good, young people study hard and make progress. I'm really happy to have such a person around your majesty, hehe!" Yu Shinan stroked his beard and smiled and walked away with a crutch.
In the evening, Li Shimin finally came back, and Qin Mubai could also hand over to work and go back to rest.
When the two little princes received their father, they were still cheering with joy. The difference is that they don't need Li Shimin to think about something today to coax them and make them happy. On the contrary, Li Zhi and Li Mingda, you and I rushed to tell Li Shimin the story of "Happy Sheep and Grey Taro".
Li Shimin laughed and hugged the two children tightly. He was so happy that he was going to lose his temper.
"Good boy, I haven't seen you so happy and lively for a long time, haha!" Li Shimin laughed loudly and later said to Qin Mubai, "Mubai, thank you for your hard work. It seems that they get along well with you and like you very much. I'm very relieved."
"Your Majesty, these are what we should do." Qin Mubai breathed a deep breath again: It seems that I did a good job on the first day of work...
