Obviously, Yao Jiuye still prefers to play with his mother Gu Qingling than with his maid.
"Cackle, cluck..."
He smiled happily and grabbed the sandbags with great enthusiasm.
"Wow! Xiaojiu is so awesome, you actually caught me!"
When Gu Qingling praised him, Yao Jiuye became more and more excited, waving his little hands so hard that he almost jumped up.
Of course, he can't walk yet, so he can crawl relatively easily. But unfortunately it's cold and the clothes he wears are a bit thick, which also has a constraining effect on his ability to move.
The little guy didn't like to wear so many clothes, but he couldn't convince the adults, so he was unhappy and had to be coaxed by the adults for a while before he was done.
Then gradually, Yao Jiuye got used to it and didn't remember that he was wearing too many clothes. This matter was in the past.
"Here, throw it to your godmother."
Gu Qingling motioned to Yao Jiuye to throw it to him.
Yao Jiuye can't throw it far. He picks it up and throws it around. If he throws it from a high place, the sandbag will be farther away. If he throws it from a lower place, maybe the sandbag can be thrown directly to him.
On the calf.
But Yao Jiuye didn't know that as long as he "picked up" the sandbag before Gu Qingling, he would win.
As soon as he found out that he had won, he was very happy.
As an adult, it was impossible for Gu Qingling to really "rob", just to make him happy and pretend that she couldn't grab it to tease him.
Before giving birth, Gu Qingling never thought that one day she would do such childish things and be so happy.
If in the past, she had seen a mother playing with her children like this and laughing so happily, she would just be puzzled - that game is not fun at all, what's the point of being happy?
However, after becoming a mother, I realized that whether you are happy or not depends not on the game, but because it is your child.
He laughed, and you laughed.
The room was filled with laughter for a while.
Just as Gu Qingling expected, Yao Anhong came over during dinner in the evening. He told Gu Qingling with excitement that those two scholars were really good, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Seeing his happy look, Gu Qingling asked the people below to serve him a bowl of hot red bean soup.
"As long as you are good, then if you are good, learn more from them. They will end up next year, and you will end up next year too. Maybe you can learn more from them."
"Yeah! My grandson knows. He has already made an appointment with them to prepare for the exam together tomorrow." After saying that, Yao Anhong asked Gu Qingling if they could go earlier next year and arrange lunch at Yao's Bookstore.
side.
Because he wanted to invite them to have a meal together.
"Why, you have a new friend, so you don't want to have dinner with your mother? Are you afraid that your mother will say something about you?" Gu Qingling laughed and teased him.
Yao Anhong shook his head: "No, there are two reasons why my grandson wants to eat in the bookstore. One is that my grandson doesn't want to waste time running around. If he eats in the bookstore, he can have more time to read; the other is that his grandson wants to eat in the bookstore.
I heard the waiter mentioned that they started reading when the bookstore opened, and they didn’t leave until the bookstore closed. They ate two steamed buns or pancakes at noon, and the grandson..."
When talking about the latter, Yao Anhong was a little embarrassed. He said that he wanted to invite the two poor scholars to have a meal together so that they could eat better.
"If I directly ask them to eat, I'm afraid it will hurt their self-esteem, but if I have people deliver lunch to the bookstore and pretend that it is an accident, they will eat it together. It will not only save their face, but also achieve the goal."
My purpose, old lady, do you think it is feasible?"
Why is it impossible? Brother Hong is already able to consider others in this way. Naturally, Lu Qingling will not hold him back and fully agrees.
It's just that you need to find out clearly about the lunch time in advance to avoid making people hungry later. This is one of them.
Secondly, even if you want to invite someone to eat with you, you should take into account the differences in taste and prepare something light that everyone can eat.
Especially with the status of Zhou Yusheng and Ye Maosheng, they should usually eat less salt and less oil, and cannot prepare big fish or meat, because they have been used to eating those things for a long time, and suddenly changing them may cause diarrhea to the other party.
.
Only then did Yao Anhong realize that there are so many things to pay attention to when inviting people to dinner.
Gu Qingling smiled and nodded: "This is life experience. You are young and eat it every day, so you don't think so. But for poor people, they can't eat meat a few times a year. They eat it with clear soup and little water, which hurts their stomach and intestines."
They have long been accustomed to it. If they are suddenly allowed to eat big fish and meat at this time, won't their stomachs and intestines be able to adapt to it, and they will have a stomachache? This is why the food prepared by the candidates in the examination room is usually the daily food, not
Will rashly change his eating habits..."
"My grandson understands." Yao Anhong looked thoughtful.
He really didn't know that the old lady had started preparing the food for the examination so early and letting him eat it in advance was to prevent him from having gastrointestinal problems when he arrived at the examination room.
"Those literati like to say, 'A gentleman is far better than a cook'. Just listen to this and don't take it to heart. Think about it, if you go to the examination room, there are only so many days in a day, and you won't get a fever."
Even if you don't know how to make simple meals, you are the one who suffers. There are no maids or servants to help you, but if you know how to make simple meals, we will help you prepare the ingredients in advance. When you arrive at the examination room
You can make it yourself, and you can also have a hot bite, how good it is. If you eat well, drink well, and sleep well, won't there be a mental exam?"
Yao Anhong nodded, feeling that what the old lady said was really reasonable.
No wonder the old lady asked them to learn how to clean up the house by themselves and teach them how to use boards and quilts to build a bed for themselves. Wasn't it just to prepare?
If you don't prepare in advance, when you actually get to the examination room, you will find that you can't do anything else except reading and writing. Even if you have a natural talent, it will be in vain if you can't use it.
After talking to the old lady for a while, Yao Anhong felt that he had learned a lot. It was just like what the old lady said - knowledge in world affairs is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing.
"Old lady, my grandson knows about it. Please pay attention to it in the future."
"Well, then you should go back and rest early. You are still young. You will only practice your skills next year. It doesn't matter whether you win or not. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body and go to the county exam in good spirits.
God’s return.”
"Yes, my grandson knows."
…
Yao Anhong suddenly felt a lot more confident.
Because he knows where his target is.
Before, he was worried about whether he would pass the exam next year. He was afraid that what the old lady said about him going to "practice" was just a talk, but today it sounds like the "practice" that the old lady said may really be
real.
After all, there are so many "knowledges" that need to be paid attention to in the imperial examination room, but he has been raising a young master for so many years. If the old lady hadn't intervened, he wouldn't even be able to fold a quilt or boil a kettle of hot water. When he got to the examination room, he
Can it really hold up?
No!
It's difficult.
The examination room is a small independent cubicle, and you cannot talk to each other or help each other.
From the moment he entered the examination room, he was an "independent" person, and he had to complete everything by himself.
Independently built a table into a bed, changed the bed into a table, solved the problem of eating, solving the problem of going to the hut, and even encountered the problem of rain leakage, and had to prevent the rain from dripping onto the examination paper and smearing the examination paper...
In all of these, if any detail goes wrong, the whole game may be lost.
