Chapter 289 Cater to him, cooperate with him, seduce him, drag him into the water (first update)
"A clock is a timepiece that only counts hours and quarters. It is similar to the dripping copper kettle."
After hearing Gao Zhang's explanation, Zhao Huan nodded somewhat suddenly, looking forward to the fact that Gao Zhuangyuan, who was described as very capable by his father Zhao Ji, could produce what he described.
After the boat stopped at the pier, Zhao Fujin was excited to visit Jinming Pond.
Seeing the pitiful little animal-like looks in the two children's eyes, Gao Zhang couldn't refuse and looked at Yang Jian.
As a result, Yang Jian acted like he was just obeying the orders of the Number One Scholar.
"Well, let's visit the Jinming Pond, but at the turn of the afternoon, we have to go back to the palace."
The two children agreed without hesitation, and excitedly held hands and started walking along the bank of the pond.
Under the cover of the first snow, Jinmingchi looked exceptionally beautiful, and Gao Zhang could only continue to play the role of nanny.
Over there, Zhao Fujin began to build a snowman with the help of the accompanying eunuchs.
But Zhao Huan didn't know when he stood next to Gao Zhang, looking at this world-famous prodigy with a thoughtful expression.
That piercing look made Gao Zhang feel a little uncomfortable.
"Why is Your Highness looking at this official like this?" Gao Zhang asked Zhao Huan directly.
Zhao Huan was so frightened by Gao Zhang's words that he subconsciously looked away, but in the end, he still raised his head.
He looked a little nervous and whispered enviously.
"Brother, you are so awesome. My father likes you, Eunuch Yang also likes you, my sister also likes you, and even I think I like you."
"...What does His Highness mean by that?" Gao Zhang looked at Zhao Huan, waiting for his next words.
Zhao Huan looked at the face that was only a few years older than him, and looked around cautiously to make sure that no one could hear the exchange between the two, and then whispered.
"Brother, can you promise that you won't tell anyone?"
"I can swear to God that I will not reveal a single word of our communication."
"Really?" Zhao Heng looked at Gao Zhang with some uncertainty.
Gao Zhang nodded solemnly. Such an expression made Zhao Huan obviously relax.
But he still hesitated for a few breaths, then blushed and muttered softly.
"Can you teach me how to make my father like me too?"
Gao Zhang's eyes and expression looked so gentle as he looked at Zhao Huan, the eldest son of the emperor, who was like a frightened deer at this moment.
I really didn’t expect that he would ask such difficult questions during their second meeting.
But this also happens to prove one thing, this child is not stupid, and he is also very smart.
Gao Zhang would naturally not ask the other party why he had such an idea without emotional intelligence. Could it be that your father is using a big stick to deal with you? Questions like this.
Instead, he thought about it seriously and asked a rhetorical question.
"What do you want your father to like about you? Is it your talent, your temperament, or your eloquence?"
Zhao Huan was stunned by this rhetorical question and shook his head in confusion.
"I don't know either, but I just feel that my father doesn't like me very much. I feel that he likes my sister more..."
Gao Zhang and Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Fujin over there.
It is indeed difficult for anyone not to like this princess who is very beautiful, has a very rustic name, and has a very lively personality.
On the contrary, the eldest son of the emperor in front of him had a reserved personality. He stood there as quiet as a quail. The contrast was really too great.
"Then do you think you can be like your sister?"
Looking at Gao Zhang raising his hand to point at his own sister Zhao Fujin, Zhao Heng thought about it for a long time and then shook his head in frustration.
"No, I will feel very embarrassed..."
"That's right, I would feel embarrassed if it was me. After all, not everyone has the courage to do Jia Ziyin."
"???" Zhao Huan looked at Gao Zhang in confusion. What the hell is the clip sound?...
"Then I dare to ask Your Highness, what are your interests and hobbies?"
"Hobby..." Zhao Huan muttered these two words, then fell into a long silence.
The silence lasted so long that Gao Zhang felt that he could even squat on the toilet and read a complete newspaper. Only then did he hear Zhao Huan's somewhat embarrassed voice in his ears.
"Does being in a daze count?"
"...You mean you were just in a daze?"
Gao Zhang looked at the eight-year-old child with a look of confusion on his face.
Zhao Huan touched his face with some embarrassment and quickly shook his head.
"No, no, I was just thinking about what my hobbies were, but after thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of it."
"..." Gao Zhang had a thought in his heart and wanted to pull out some grass and hold it to calm down, but it was a pity that it was winter now.
Could it be that this kid forgot to bring his brain with him when he went out today?
Gao Zhang asked again while maintaining a polite smile on his face.
"I wonder if your highness has learned anything?"
“Does the Tao Te Ching count?”
"What the hell?!" Gao Zhang's voice suddenly rose at least an octave higher.
Gao Zhang's sudden high-pitched voice made Zhao Huan shrink his neck in fright, and he quickly replied.
"The Tao Te Ching, my father told me to learn this book..."
"You, eight years old, read the Tao Te Ching?" Gao Zhang looked at the eight-year-old child with a messy expression in the wind and nodded timidly in front of him.
This made Gao Zhang almost want to bury his head in the snow and calm down.
That thing is a Taoist classic, yes, but can it be used for enlightenment?
"My father asked me to read The Thousand Character Classic before, and I already knew it. Then my father asked me to read the Tao Te Ching."
"My father said that the Tao Te Ching is the most important book of Taoism, and I, the Great Song Dynasty, believe in Taoism and wanted me to read it thoroughly..."
"...I felt that the book was so difficult and I couldn't read it well. My father was a little unhappy."
Seeing Zhao Huan looking at the sky with melancholy, Gao Zhang also raised his face in pain.
You are truly a fool. If you let your son read the Tao Te Ching, why don't you just let him go to Longhu Mountain to be a Taoist priest and count balls?
The philosophical works written by Lao Tzu during the Spring and Autumn Period are correct, but for an eight-year-old child, is it too stressful?
Zhao Huan continued to complain that he did not like the Tao Te Ching and did not want to be a Taoist priest.
Perhaps deep in his young mind, he thought that as long as he studied the Tao Te Ching, he might become a Taoist priest.
It is impossible to persuade Master Hunjun to change his mind. As Hunjun, what he wants is to act arbitrarily. Who cares about me, just leave him alone. I only want obedient people.
So I advise him that it is better to take the initiative to cater to him, cooperate with him, seduce him, and quietly lead him into the ditch...
Even if it is just superficial pandering, it is far better than offending this faint master.
