Hongxian didn't look forward to anything else, he was focused on the wild horse promised by his uncle Jiu. When can he get it back?
He also discussed with his brother, "Should I give Uncle Jiu some gadgets to remind Uncle Jiu not to forget!"
Honghui laughed and said, "I can't forget it! But wild horses are not that easy to find! Even if they are found, they won't call us directly. If you don't post a message at home, let Ama and dad know, who is responsible if something happens?"
So, wait patiently.
The two brothers were each reading a book, talking and reading, when the door was pushed open with a bang, and no one else except Hongxu could make such a move.
Hongxu was also holding a decent book, "Big brother and second brother, let's read together!"
"..." I don't really want to.
Hongxu didn't care, kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, sat upright, and opened his book after dinner.
Honghui closed his book and took Hongxu to read, "then you can't do anything else."
He only had a Three-Character Sutra, and after reading it, he had to ask questions. He liked to ask people to question him, and he also liked to ask other people questions. He suspected that this problem was a new problem after he and Hongxian stopped playing with him.
Earlier, when this kid got involved, Hongxian asked questions that he couldn't answer. Hongxian then tricked him, "Look! I haven't even read the book thoroughly."
As a result, this problem developed. Now I love to ask my husband very much, but my husband also likes children who always ask questions! In the beginning, they can study literature together and be taught together. Just give lessons to yourself and Hongxian, and ask him to write.
As a result, he couldn't help but kept asking. He asked those who knew something in detail, and those who didn't understand even more. The gentleman who asked the question could not do anything else except answer his questions. Didn't he just go to class alone?
But when I get the chance, I have to join them.
He might as well stop doing anything, eat some fruit, and wait for his brother to ask questions.
Sure enough, as soon as the piece of fruit came into his mouth, Hongxu shouted: "Brother."
Honghui said yes, and then Hongxu just stared at him and didn't speak.
Wonderful! I'll swallow it and answer your question seriously.
Hongxu turned to the page he needed to ask and asked his elder brother: "Xiang Xiang is nine years old and can cultivate the bed. The teacher said that Huang Xiang is nine years old and can be filial to her relatives."
Hmm! This is a character in The Twenty-Four Filial Piety. He is used as an example in the Three-Character Classic. What’s wrong with this?
"Huang Xiang was born in a poor family. Her mother died young and she and her father depended on each other. The family couldn't afford servants. She had to warm her father's bed in winter and fan her father's mat to cool down in summer..." Well! That's right! That's it.
Hongxu was still very patient and whispered: "It's reasonable to keep the quilt warm, but fan the mat to cool it? This is better than soaking the mat in water and taking it out in the evening. Not only will it be dry, but it will also be cooler when you sleep...
Which method is better?"
Honghui thought about it seriously and affirmed Hongxu's idea. Your doubts are reasonable! But Huang Xiang is from the Han Dynasty. It has been a long time ago. Don't be harsh on this. Just know that he is very filial.
.
But Hongxu obviously didn't think so. He asked again, "Huang Xiang was born in a poor family, but he became a famous official. He served as a minister, Zuo Cheng, and later a minister, and even became a Mu Shou.
The prefect..."
Just when Hongxian was about to speak, Honghui waved his hand and his expression straightened, "What you said is correct. Huang Xiang is from Jiangxia. People in the capital call him 'Unparalleled in the World, the Huangtong of Jiangxia'."
Hongxu looked confused, "Jiangxia is in today's Hanyang Prefecture and belongs to Huguang, right?"
right!
"Huang Xiang was from the Han Dynasty, which was the period of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, that is, the Later Han Dynasty. The capital of the Later Han Dynasty was Luoyang, right?"
Yes! The capital at that time was Luoyang.
"A nine-year-old child from a poor family, his reputation spread from Huguang to Luoyang..." Hongxu looked at his elder brother doubtfully, "I heard Ama talking to my brother. I know that the imperial examination began in the Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty
They were all recommended! In the Zhou Dynasty, it was the "rural selection", and then the reports were reported at each level, which led to the hereditary succession of officials. So in the Han Dynasty, the civil selection system used the inspection system and the levy system, and later Dong Zhongshu gave it to
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suggested that all counties and counties should be ordered to appoint filial sons and honest officials...filial sons could become officials, so the filial son Huang Xiang was born."
Hongxian glanced at Hongxu and was speechless! In fact, Huang Xiang is not the only one who has achieved great success in creating a filial son. If he can raise such a child, what kind of person is his father? A poor family can learn literature.
, is it so easy? In fact, a poor family is indeed a poor family, but after having a filial son Huang Xiang, Huang Xiang's father became an official. His father's name was Huang Kuang, and he was the county magistrate. Then Huang Xiang was born.
For such a character, Huang Xiang's descendants all held official positions in the future.
Everyone knows Huang Xiang, but one person has been overlooked, that is Huang Kuang!
There are only two people in the family, father and son. If the father doesn't tell what the son did, how will others know? It can be seen that it was Huang Kuang who made Huang Xiang and the family successful.
Honghui praised Hongxu, "If you read the book well, you have to read it like this. Whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, you should bring it up and ask questions."
Hongxu was satisfied and felt that his idea had been confirmed, so he hugged his book and ran away. It was time to drink milk in the evening.
But Honghui and Hongxian couldn't sleep. The two brothers slept on the same kang that night. Hongxian tossed and turned and asked Honghui in a low voice, "Brother, do you think it's better to show off your reputation? Or is it better to hide your clumsiness?"
The reputation of Huang Xiang was so great that everyone from Huguang to Luoyang knew about it in the Han Dynasty. This laid the foundation for Huang Xiang to appear in front of others. This is the benefit brought by being famous.
Hong Hui said, "You don't need to show off your fame, and you don't need to hide your clumsiness. You are what you should be, and this is just right." Hong Xian stared at the ceiling of the tent, thinking about what his elder brother said.
This "not being famous" means that you can't go out of your way to manage your own reputation. It's unnecessary to be famous for the sake of being famous.
Don't hide your clumsiness. Even if you have some ability, just use it and keep shrinking. At the moment, it is not a wise choice.
Although it is said that the first rafter will die first, this is a scoring situation. If the second uncle is the prince, he really has to stay tight. No up, no down, no slip. Perhaps this is the best way to preserve it. But it is different now, everything is different now.
There are variables, and the younger generation may not be this variable.
Honghui also turned over, "Thanks to Hongxu..."
If he hadn't suddenly popped up with this question, he might not have thought in this direction for a while.
After a long while, Hongxian said "hmm" and then moved closer to his eldest brother, "Is it possible that it's Amma or Daddy?"
have no idea!
Hongxian sighed, "It doesn't matter if it's Amma or Daddy."
Yes! All good!
The adults didn't know what the two children were talking about. Siye was holding the post sent by Lao Jiu and asked Tongtong, "It's so cold, do you want to go?"
It's just a wild horse, nothing more. Go pick a horse for your child, that's it.
"Are there many?" Tongtong was about to move, "I want one too."
Si Ye: "..." Good horses are spoiled if they are always kept in captivity.
"I'm riding!" Tongtong whispered, "Our sisters-in-law have agreed that we will go to play polo once a month. If we don't go, there will be fewer people following it!"
To play polo, pick a wild horse?
Wild horses are great. They are very spiritual after being tamed. “I want to go! I may not be able to meet the right one.” Okay! They are all kept in captivity at the racecourse anyway. If you want to go, just go!
After breakfast the next day, we stopped the children's classes for the day and let's go see the horses.
Hongxian was just curious and asked his Ama, "Wild horses are all brought from outside the Great Wall, right? Are there only wild horses outside the Great Wall?"
Yes! The main wild horses are produced in Junggar.
Honghui frowned: "Zungar?"
So what do you think? Your Uncle Ninth is not only afraid that wild horses are difficult to tame, he is also afraid that there is something wrong with the horses themselves. "There used to be wild horses in Mongolia, but then they became less and less. They were mainly in the Junggar area..."
Tongtong ordered the two children, "You can't test the horse casually. You have to ask someone to check it carefully. Do you understand?"
Understand! A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
When I went outside the racecourse today, I didn't see many carriages.
Hongxian laughed and said, "My uncle Jiu must have booked the place."
I'm afraid that too many people will cause trouble, and if the horse is frightened, it's not a joke.
Tongtong looked around and saw that there were quite a few carriages parked. It seemed that there were more than just the prince's brother's family!
Si Ye laughed and said, "You don't know what Lao Jiu is doing? He must not be willing to lose money. I'm afraid he paid for it because of his nephews' horses, but he has to earn it back from others! In the clan today,
There are a lot of people here, and it looks lively."
Tongtong's eyes suddenly lit up, "There must be more wild horses to choose from."
definitely!
As he spoke, he took the children inside. Tongtong wanted to go and take a look in advance, maybe he could choose the right one. As a result, Bafujin was not willing to show favoritism at all, "Except for the ones chosen by the children, the rest
But it all goes to the highest bidder! No one will be given any face today, so hurry up and find your place in the stands."
Do you want to be so serious?
Ba Fujin pointed towards Jiu Fujin, "Nine brothers and sisters, please stop talking. If the good ones are picked out in advance, I will have to pay for the compensation in the end."
Yes! I really don’t give you any face at all.
Shi Fujin was still smiling when he sat down, "If Sister-in-law Six is not satisfied today, ask someone to keep looking, and we can always find the right one."
If not, what else can we do?
The stands this time were all on the first floor, and almost everyone sat in the first and second rows, so they could see the horses when they were led out. The distance was closer for easier observation.
Hong Yu shouted to the side: "Uncle Jiu, everyone is almost here, we should hurry up!"
Wait! What's the rush?
Honghui looked around and whispered to his mother and E Niang, "My son has seen his fifteenth and sixteenth uncles. He has to go and say hello."
Sibeile glanced over there, and it was true that Lao Jiu had brought the two little ones out of the palace. But no matter how little they were, they were uncles and had to pay their respects.
Hong Hui then left, calling Hong Xian by the way, and the two brothers went to Fifteen Sixteen, one behind the other.
Hong Yu saw this movement, and without even saying hello to his Amma and E Niang, he stepped over and chased them away.
Prince Li watched his nephew pass by and turned to look at Hongxi. Hongxi whispered: "Today, we are leaving the palace with our two uncles." So, there is no need to say hello.
Prince Li Fujin frowned: This kid is real! Your cousins have all gathered together now and have gone to play with your uncles fifteen and sixteen. You can leave the palace often, but this is their first time.
, everything is unfamiliar. Didn’t you see that your thirteenth uncle and fourteenth uncle are over there? Where are these people, you are the only one who can’t go?
She pressed Prince Li's hand and said, don't speak harshly to the child outside! She spoke softly and said with a smile: "You and Hongpu both go and pass a message for me. If you don't have enough clothes, there are some here! Today
It's windy. If it's too cold, don't hold on. There are private rooms in the racecourse. I'm afraid they don't know this. Go and ask for me and let me know. If you're afraid of forgetting for a while, I'll tell your eighth aunt first.
She prepared the private room in advance, and then sent someone to tell the nuns around your two uncles about the prepared place..."
Hongxi then handed over his hand and turned around with Hongpu.
