Chapter 286 The thoughts of the official family... (Part 2)
Gao Zhang sat calmly and calmly dealt with various problems of his eccentric beloved daughter Zhao Fujin.
Zhao Huan, the eldest son of the emperor, widened his eyes and looked at this prodigy champion who was only a few years older than him with admiration and was extremely knowledgeable.
Seeing this scene, official Zhao Ji raised the corners of his mouth happily.
"It seems that they get along quite happily. In this way, I can feel relieved..."
Yang Jian came closer, looked over there, and said cautiously.
"What the officials said is absolutely true, but Xiao Gao is still a child, so I'm a little worried..."
"Why, are you still worried that he can't take care of these two children?"
Official Zhao Ji pursed his lips and stroked his short beard.
"You don't have to worry blindly, I know it well and you can trust Xiao Gao."
"Yes, yes, this slave is too talkative." Yang Jian smiled flatteringly and raised his eyelids to look over there.
When I said those words, I didn't mean to put eye drops on Xiao Gao's number one scholar, but I wanted to stop this heavy burden for Xiao Gao's number one scholar.
After all, these two are the favorites of the official family, especially the eldest son of the emperor, who is the eldest son born to the queen and will most likely become the prince.
Seeing the official Zhao Ji finally appear with a smile, Gao Zhang stood up with relief.
Zhao Ji strode into the pavilion.
"How about it? I see that you are having a great time chatting here, and I can't bear to come over and disturb you."
Zhao Fujin, who has a lively personality, stepped forward with a joyful face and answered.
"Dad, my little brother is so awesome, he actually knows everything..."
"Haha, that's natural. Otherwise, how could my father choose him as the top pick?"
After the official Zhao Ji sat down, the old man, the three children and the young ones had a simple and warm dinner here.
Looking at Zhao Huan, who is gentle but somewhat reserved, and Zhao Fujin, who is outgoing and eccentric, the contrast in the personalities of these two siblings is really extreme.
Moreover, Gao Zhang could feel that Zhao Ji seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his eldest son Zhao Huan.
However, Gao Zhang could only bury this view deep in his heart without making a sound.
After a simple dinner, official Zhao Ji glanced at Gao Zhang, who had a calm expression.
"Xiao Gao, Huan'er and Fu Jin have been confined in the palace for a long time, and it is difficult for them to go out.
I heard my teacher talk about the water observatory built next to Jinming Pond, which can accurately tell the time. I was very curious, so I asked my teacher to take them there."
"But as a teacher these days, I have to deal with important things and I really can't spare the time. So, I hope you can take them there to have a look..."
The moment the name Water Elephant Observatory appeared, Gao Zhang was a little confused. What was that? He always felt that this name was quite lofty.
But soon, Gao Zhang's mind was like an electric shock and he reacted. Isn't that the ancestor of the astronomical mechanical clock that is regarded by countless people?
Gao Zhang only remembered that this thing was created in the Northern Song Dynasty, but he did not expect that it was actually in this era.
How could I refuse? Although I was asked to be a nanny, I could carry these two people over, so that I could admire this technological treasure of Chinese civilization up close.
The important thing is that this thing directly made Gao Zhang's eyes begin to shine with the golden light of wealth.

Zhao Huan and Zhao Fujin said goodbye happily, leaving only Gao Zhang and Zhao Ji, their master and disciple.
It was not until the two little sisters left that the smile on Zhao Ji's face was gradually replaced by a hint of sadness.
Seeing Zhao Ji's emotions, Gao Zhang asked with concern.
"Master, is there something difficult..."
Zhao Ji did not give a direct answer but asked Gao Zhang a new question.
"You also met my teacher's eldest son just now. Xiao Gao, what do you think of this son?"
These words immediately made Gao Zhang's heart tremble, and a somewhat confused expression appeared on his face.
"Disciple feels that His Highness the First Prince has a calm personality and is a bit reserved..."
"This kid is not like me." Zhao Ji gave an answer that made Gao Zhang's eyelids jump.
After spitting out this answer, official Zhao Ji couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"But he is my eldest son. I sincerely hope that he can be more like me..."
Gao Zhang could not accept these words, and he could not accept them. After all, this was a secret matter of the Song Dynasty royal family, and it could even represent the inheritance issue of the Song Dynasty imperial line.
Fortunately, Gao Zhang was glad that he was still a child, so it was okay to hear it, and he and the official Zhao Ji had a close father-son relationship.
He definitely didn't tell himself this to give him any advice, he just wanted to find someone he could trust and have an extremely close relationship with to talk to.
It has to be said that Gao Zhang did not make a mistake in his judgment. The official Zhao Ji counted a lot of things that made Zhao Huan look nothing like him.
Zhao Huan's character is too dull, and he doesn't know how to talk. He even likes to be in a daze.
Now he is eight years old, but he has no outstanding talents, and he lacks some talent in the art of calligraphy and painting.
But fortunately, Gao Zhang could feel from Zhao Ji's tone and emotion that this official of the Song Dynasty really hoped that his own son could make changes that would make him happy.

"After much thought, I think it must be closely related to the fact that he was born and raised in a palace since he was a child."
"He has not been exposed to people of his own age since he was a child, and being a teacher requires hard work all day long, so he has little time to teach him..."
But now, seeing his temperament, Zhao Ji, the official father of the family, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
But the problem is that I am just a prodigal son. I am busy doing calligraphy, painting and shopping all day long, so I have no experience in educating children.
After getting along with Gao Zhang these days, the official Zhao Ji seemed to realize that Gao Zhang was just a child, and it would be easy for children to communicate with each other.
Otherwise, where does the saying come from that if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black.
Think about Cai Liulang, who is not very famous, and Tong Zhisheng, who drinks and plays boxing all day long.
In the eyes of the official Zhao Ji, these two guys were just two dudes.
During this period, since Gao Zhang began to handle government affairs, he has actually made considerable progress.
Cai Laoliu even dared to stand up and engage in verbal battles with officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs in order to recommend candidates for the imperial court.
Although there is instigation and calculation from his beloved disciple, at least it is under the influence of Xiao Gao.
These two have never done anything excessive or outrageous.
And it just so happens that Huan'er is still young now. I think it would be better if Xiao Gao could lead him more.
I believe it will also be helpful to his growth.
"So, I promised them today that I will leave the palace with you, just because I hope you, Xiao Gao, can help me..."
Official Zhao Ji's big hand fell on Gao Zhang's shoulder, his eyes full of expectation.
"..."
This is the third update. My thinking is clearer today. I will continue to work hard tomorrow.
