His health was not fully recovered, so he urged him to read.
mmp.
No matter how good your health is, if you meet this kind of old woman, you will become half disabled.
Wang Lidong gently raised the 'Shen Nong's Materia Medica' in his hand, "Mother, do you think medical books are of little help to your studies and career?"
Qi's mother glanced at her son and said bluntly: "It will definitely not be helpful for the hospital examination in four months."
"In our Kaifeng Prefecture's rural examinations over the years, every time a candidate fell ill and died in the dormitory, and most of the candidates fell seriously ill after returning home from the examination. Mother knows this, right?"
"What exactly does Heng'er want to say?"
Of course Qi's mother knew, and she also knew exactly what caused it.
On the one hand, the exam time is too long. There are four exams before and after the college exam, plus 10 days. There are three exams for the provincial exam and the general exam, which take nine days and six nights.
Both Android and Apple are available.]
The examination venue was very crude, and the dormitory was only about 1 square meter in size. When I went to bed at night, I couldn't even straighten my legs and feet.
The general examination and the college examination were okay. They were both in spring. Bringing more quilts would basically not cause any problems.
But during the provincial examination, it was really sad.
In the summer, the Gongyuan is surrounded by high walls, and there is no breeze inside.
At noon, the sun is high in the sky, constantly spreading love and heat to the earth. The small cell is like a steamer, stuffy and hot inside, like a sauna.
The food brought by the candidates has no technology, no hard work, and no vacuum packaging. There is a high probability that it will go bad, but it is not enough if they don't eat it. The consequences can be imagined.
Wang Lidong said: "Mother, I just went to Liangzhe Road and got seriously ill.
The imperial examination is much more tiring than this, and there is no guarantee that you will not get sick during the period. Even if you are slightly sick, you can grit your teeth and persevere, but dizziness and headaches will definitely affect your performance, and your results will not be ideal.
If you get seriously ill...then you have to leave it to fate."
Looking at her son's frail body, Qi's mother's heart tightened. Thinking back to the years when her son died in the examination room, her hands and feet immediately became a little cold.
How could I forget this!
She only has such a son, if something happens to her... After a while, Qi's mother said:
"I will ask Dr. Wu to come to the house in the next two days and ask him to check your pulse, write a prescription to help you take good care of your body, and then ask for some heat-clearing and detoxifying pills..."
Wang Lidong waved his hands and said: "Mother, these external things are the icing on the cake at most, and they are three parts poison. The best way is to strengthen your own muscles and bones.
Like my grandfather, he is almost 7 years old, but his health is in better shape than his son. He eats a pound of rice and has several kilograms of meat, and he often wears armor and mounts his horse."
Qi's mother nodded slightly. Ever since she could remember, her father had rarely been sick. "Heng'er wants to practice some boxing and kicking skills like your grandfather?"
Wang Lidong nodded, "Mom, Xianggong Fan once said that instead of being a good prime minister, you should be a good doctor. Many officials in the imperial court are proficient in medical skills. Do you know why?"
Qi's mother shook her head slightly, she had never heard of this.
Wang Lidong said: "From the emperor to the humble slave, everyone is afraid of death.
The more senior officials and dignitaries are, the more so.
Medical books are not difficult for literati and doctors to learn. Reading them in your spare time can also be used as a pastime.
Killing two birds with one stone, why not do it.”
Then he asked Qi's mother a question.
If there is a vacancy in the house, and there are two servants who are qualified for the position, the one who is slightly more capable will often get sick and have to stay in bed for at least half of the month.
, but in very good health.
Which one will she choose to be in charge?
Qi's mother didn't think much about it, so she picked someone who was in good health. Unless there was really no one available, no one liked a sick person.
"Mother, the emperor chooses officials and ministers for the same reason. No matter how talented he is, if his health is not good, your majesty will definitely choose someone with similar abilities.
My grandfather is the best example.
Although he was lame in one leg, His Majesty still made him the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Palace.
The reason? First, I am loyal to His Majesty and saved His Majesty's life.
In addition, there are military generals of the same age as him who are either dead or lying at home unable to move. They are in better health than him, but their qualifications are not as good as his.
The one who remains is king!"
In the Song Dynasty, military power was divided into three parts: the Privy Council, the three Yamen and the Ministry of War.
The Privy Council is the highest military organization, responsible for strategic decision-making, handling daily affairs, recruiting, and dispatching troops. Its officers are called Privy Councilors (the famous eunuch Tong Guan once held this position). This institution is similar to the "Zhongyang Military Power" in the world a thousand years later.
.
Sanya is responsible for the daily management and training of the Forbidden Army (the main army of the Song Dynasty, known as 800,000, and Lin Chong, the instructor, usually teaches this group of people).
The 800,000 forbidden troops are managed by three departments: the Palace Front Division, the Guards and Guards Horse Army Division, and the Guards and Guards Infantry Division. These three agencies are collectively called the "Three Yamen", which are similar to the "Several Lords' Districts" in later generations.
Qi Heng's maternal grandfather is currently the boss of the Palace Division, also known as the 'Commander of the Maharaja District'.
After listening to her son's analysis, Qi's mother disliked Wu Fu very much, but the world is big and the son's life is the most important. If there is no one, the Qi family may have to die. At that time, a branch will have to be adopted as a son, and people will be separated.
Belly, who knows whether he will treat the couple badly when he gets old.
"I will go back to your grandfather's house in two days. Then I will ask him to join the army and help you choose a better boxing master."
Wang Lidong subconsciously wanted to refuse. He was a man with golden fingers. As long as he had enough time, who could be his teacher? However, he finally decided to agree because he knew the connections in the military.
good chance.
"Thank you, mother."
"Heng'er, I don't object to practicing martial arts to strengthen your body, but it can't affect your studies."
Although she agreed to the request to practice martial arts, she was worried that her son would not be able to distinguish between the important and the important and would lose his ambition by playing with things, so Princess Pingning still gave him some advice.
Wang Lidong nodded obediently, "Don't worry, mother, I will bring back a scholar for my mother in the college examination next year."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qi's mother was very happy after hearing this, and then threw out a carrot and promised him that if he could get the title of scholar next year, she could make a condition.
Wang Lidong's eyes lit up: "Can mother keep her word?"
Seeing her son's reaction, Princess Pingning asked curiously: "Heng'er, do you already have an idea?"
It's not a messy thing anyway.
Wang Lidong nodded and expressed his thoughts.
Knowing that her son wanted to take charge of his private money, Qi's mother frowned slightly, "Heng'er is short of money recently? Or do you have any big expenses?"
“The teacher once said that cultivating one’s moral integrity, harmonizing one’s family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world.
I have learned a lot of relevant knowledge from books, but I have never practiced it myself.
If you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't go to a deep stream, you don't know how thick the earth is.
So I plan to try to manage my own pocket money to verify some of the knowledge I have learned."
Qi's mother picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, thought for a moment and said to the nanny beside her: "Mother Liu, go and give Chunlan all the pocket money Heng'er has earned over the years."
The reason mentioned was reasonable and reasonable. She couldn't see through her son's thoughts for the time being, so she simply followed the trend and saw what he would do after getting the private money.
Liu Ma nodded slightly, and then took the maid Chunlan out of the room.
Unexpectedly, the cheap lady was so cheerful. Wang Lidong hurriedly sent a few flattery words, and suddenly the room was full of joy, and the mother was kind and the son was filial.
When the two of them were talking about the 60th birthday of the Marquis of Xiangyang, Qi's father opened the door and entered the living room.
Next, the family of three had a big discussion about birthday celebrations, until at around 19:00 to 21:00 Beijing time, Wang Lidong drank the ‘Sleeping Divine Soup’ under the gaze of the couple.
