"Dad!" "Dad!" The four children shouted happily and ran towards Yunxi.
"Hey!" Yunxi hugged his four children, waved to Siqi who was following behind and asked her to come over, and said to them with a smile: "Did you have a good time just now?"
"Okay, I haven't been out of the palace for a long time. Selecting things in the shops outside the palace is really different from choosing your favorite jewelry from servants. Somehow, I just feel happier." Min'er said with a smile.
"You are happy, Daddy's inner treasury is almost empty." Yun He said deliberately.
"Dad, you always scare your daughter!" Min'er shouted: "Min'er learned from her mother that her father's inner treasury is very rich and cannot be used up with this little money to buy things."
"Haha," Yunxi, whose lie was exposed by his daughter again, laughed slightly awkwardly and said, "Daddy is teaching you to pay attention to frugality. Although daddy has a rich inner bank now, if you don't pay attention to frugality and spend extravagantly,
The seemingly inexhaustible inner treasury will become empty.”
"What's more, the money in the inner treasury is all taxes paid by the people of the Ming Dynasty. It is all obtained by the hard work of the people. How can it be wasted casually!"
Yunxi thought he could use this to teach her something. Wenyuan and the other three raised their arms and agreed, "Son, I understand." Siqi also replied, but Miner smiled and said: "Haha, dad's reaction
It was exactly what my daughter thought. After the untruths I told my daughter were exposed, I used the method of educating my daughter to change the subject."
After hearing this, Yun He didn't know what to say. Wen Yuan and the other three also had their hands in the air, not knowing what to do. However, Min'er herself threw herself into Yun He's arms and said with a smile: "Dad, my daughter just now and
Daddy is joking."
She then said seriously: "My daughter knows that her father's teachings are all well-intentioned. Min'er has already listened to the teachings just now. She will definitely follow her father's teachings in the future and will never be extravagant or excessive."
"You, you, are so weird. You are joking with dad like this." Yunxi hugged her again and said with a smile.
If a Taoist gentleman saw this scene here, he would definitely be furious and scold Min'er sharply, because Min'er's actions are very inconsistent with Confucian etiquette and law. These days, no matter how much a family loves their children, they will not allow their children to do so.
Like this; but at this time, everyone present looked at this scene very calmly.
Yunxi upheld the ideas of later generations in educating his children. He was more strict with his son, but he only doted on his daughter. He would never reprimand him loudly. Even if he felt that what she said was wrong, he would talk things over carefully and persuade him through reasoning.
Instead of using the authority of her parents to suppress her, she never paid attention to the etiquette between father and daughter. At first, people looked down upon her, but gradually she got used to it.
The father and daughter talked for a while, and Min'er said again: "Dad, what did you do if you left us in that store? My daughter and brother stayed in the store for another quarter of an hour."
"Oh, the provincial examination is about to be held. Dad will go around the Confucius Temple and listen to what the candidates are talking about."
Yunxi said: "As I was walking, I met your Aunt Xiancai's husband. He sent your Aunt Xiancai to the medical clinic to practice medicine and treat patients. Dad took him for a walk around the Confucius Temple."
"Then I met a businessman named Xiao. His son and his nephew were going to take the Yingtian Township Examination this year. Dad took the opportunity to test these two young talents. When the test was over, he asked them to step aside and told your uncle.
After a few words, he went back to wait for Aunt Xiancai, and daddy will come to pick you up."
"My surname is Xiao? Dad, is this person you are testing for more knowledge, the one you want to choose to be the consort of the third aunt?" Min'er rolled her eyes, thought of something, and whispered into Yunxi's ear.
"Min'er, how do you know this?"
"I heard my mother and second mother talking about it. One day last month, Min'er came back from school. She wanted to give her mother and second mother a surprise, but she didn't let the servants inform her. She heard people talking about this matter. My daughter remembered it.
Already."
"Dad, how does this person who is chosen to be Third Aunt's consort look like and what is his knowledge? Is he worthy of Third Aunt?"
"You should be careful when discussing things in the future. Even if it is not a confidential matter, you must tell your subordinates and report it to prevent them from hearing it." Yunxi thought about this in his mind for a while, and then said: "This man is very knowledgeable, indeed
He is very smart. As long as he does not go off topic and does not randomly quote unknown allusions in the Jinke Provincial Examination, there should be no problem in passing the Jinke Provincial Examination. However, he is just too smart."
"Dad also took a test on his cousin's knowledge. His cousin was far behind him. Although dad took the imperial examination himself, he would probably fail the classics and meaning questions, but he has read too many test papers of Jinshi over the years, good or bad.
You can still tell the difference. Unless his cousin is very lucky, he will definitely not be able to pass the examination."
"But this man is very interesting. I heard from his tone that he actually likes to do business and likes to follow his father around the country and even overseas. But when he was a child, he was the best educated couple in the whole family.
One of the individuals, and there were too many people in their family who were good at business and too few scholars, so he was forced to study.
This time they participated in the Yingtian Township Examination. His cousin was sent to the capital very early to figure out this year's test questions and the preferences of those who might be appointed as examiners. However, it was not until the middle of this month that he was sent from his hometown to the capital to prepare for the examination.
.It was because he was afraid that his father would be lax in his discipline that he stopped reading and learned business from his father.”
"After that, dad asked the businessman a few more questions and asked them to retreat and come to find you."
"That's all, let's not talk about this anymore. Get in the carriage and dad will take you to visit the second aunt at her home. But you must remember to be gentle when you get there. The second aunt is pregnant, so you must pay attention."
"Got it." Several children agreed. Miner and Siqi got on a carriage, and Wenyao, Wenyuan, and Wenqi got on another carriage. Yunxi wanted to ride a horse, but when he raised his head, he saw the sun coming out again.
Now, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so I got on the carriage made by Wenyao and others.
"Dad, the weather is so hot," Wen Qi said while fanning himself on the carriage: "It rained this morning and it was cooler than usual, but it is still so hot. Why does God let July be so hot?
You really shouldn’t go out on a day like this.”
Yunxi resisted the idea of giving him some popular science about the relationship between whether the weather is cold or hot and the sun, and said: "Wenqi, it is precisely because it is so hot in July that you have to go out. If you want to add a vassal state in the future, you will definitely end up with the barbarians.
Do you want to fight with other people? At that time, do you think it’s too hot to fight in July, and wait until the weather cools down before leading the soldiers to fight?”
"People who practice martial arts say that if you practice martial arts in the winter or in the summer, you should practice martial arts during the coldest and hottest times, because martial arts training is most useful at this time, and you can adapt to severe cold and hot weather."
"That's why it's so hot in July that you have to go out. You must not slack off in practicing martial arts on weekdays. You can't stop practicing or practice for a short period of time just because the weather is hot. If you are caught doing this, you will not be easily forgiven."
"Yes, Dad." the three of them said.
But after listening to the three of them talking, Yunxi turned to Wenyuan and said, "Wenyuan, what's wrong with you? Is it because of the hot weather that you answer so listlessly?" After saying this, his tone was a bit reproachful.
Already.
Wenyuan sat on the small chair that was fixed. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Father, my son has a question that he wants to ask his father." (To be continued)
