Seeing the fourth prince burst through the door curtain and rushing in like a wild horse, Zhang Shou, who was covering his face with a book and closing his eyes, couldn't help feeling helpless.
Sure enough, the next moment, the crisp voice of the naughty child came to my ears: "Teacher, I asked, the bow of Emperor Taizu is in the hands of the group of people who have not yet entered the capital! What else is there to eat? Those
What I taught those six guys..."
"Well, I know everything." Zhang Shou said something casually and found that the voice in his ear had stopped suddenly. He then took the book off his face and said with a half-smile, "Think about it, if I hadn't asked
Given these things, when you asked me just now, why didn't I go with you? Eunuch Chu and Master Hua Qi were gone, right? Then I left you here, and you called me all the people in your hands?"
The fourth prince was immediately speechless. The facts were exactly as Zhang Shou said. He had been so excited that he had no time to think about it. Now that he thought about it, it was just to fool him, so he said a few nice words to coax him? It would be better if Zhang Shou asked him to do it before.
Waiter, he managed to find out the information, and then Zhang Shou guessed the truth. He really played a role at that time!
He suddenly raised his lips and said, "I'm no longer a child, why should you look down on me!"
Seeing the anger of the fourth prince, Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh. He waved the naughty child to come closer, and then he rubbed the two horns out of habit, and then patted them gently. This kind of intimacy was like stroking the child's hair.
Mao'er's actions were quite effective in appeasing the fourth prince. The naughty kid who was initially agitated by his two words quickly calmed down.
At this time, Zhang Shoucai said unhurriedly: "How do you think of you? Are you going to intercept and arrest those daring guys, or are you going to Shanhaiwei to check out the ship of unknown origin? Each of them performs his or her duties.
For example, if I identify the origins of these so-called envoys, my task will be completed, and the same is true for you. Didn't you complete the tasks assigned to you by the emperor very well?"
"After you have done what you should do, don't take credit from others, otherwise wouldn't others have nothing to do?"
After indoctrinating the fourth prince with a bunch of nonsense, when the little guy turned his head and thought about it, seeming to understand, but not seeming to understand, Zhang Shou motioned for him to sit next to him on the Arhat bed, and he said earnestly: "So, in the future,
You don’t have to decide whether to be a wise king or an idle king right now. You just have to choose according to your own heart, but there is one thing you have to remember..."
"Don't be too hardworking and uncomplaining, because if you work too much, you will get too much, and you will appear incompetent, lazy, and useless to others. The right way is that the way of civil and military affairs is to relax. Look at Zhang Chen and the others, they are so idle now.
They want to do things, but when they are going around like a wheel every day, they might miss the leisurely time in the past, what do you think?"
"Just like me, I originally only took care of Jiuzhang Hall and Banshan Hall, and everything would be fine if I had good classes every day. But look, teacher, how many messy things have happened to me now? This is of course because I can't sit still and always like to think about random things.
I'm trying to make something happen, but why doesn't it mean that the emperor thinks that I have some abilities that others don't have, so he keeps pushing messy things over?"
Ah Liu outside the door listened to Zhang Shou's fallacy. Even though he always held the view that everything Zhang Shou said was right, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly. Sure enough, the next moment, he caught the fourth prince's expression.
It sounded a little confused.
"Teacher, what do you mean, if the third brother wants me to do something in the future, I will do it, but don't try to steal what others have done after finishing it? Or point fingers? But if what others do is not done well,
, what should I do? I can’t help it!”
"It's normal that you can't help it, because I can't help it either!"
Zhang Shou smiled and flicked the fourth prince's smooth forehead, then lowered his voice and said: "But, you won't let other people who are eager to take credit... No, are those who are eager to take credit come forward? Or maybe it's all the time.
Are you watching with eager eyes, waiting for those who find fault with others to take credit? If nothing else, there are people with the character of Luo Sanhe around you all over the world."
"And this kind of person will not have a long memory if you don't let him suffer some losses. You didn't see that kid coming this time, but in the past, since your third brother, the prince, put people by your side, he
Don’t you want me to stare at you all the time?”
"You are the prince, your father's precious son, and your prince's third brother's precious brother. Don't worry, just do it on your own. Do you understand? Your teacher and I both know how to send students to do certain things. What about you? Luo Sanhe does that.
You don’t like the person, but your third brother thinks you need someone around you who can remind you, then let him do it, or ask your third brother for more people to do the work!"
"Although during a war, the commanders that ordinary soldiers admire the most are those who say "come on me" rather than "come on me", but have you ever thought about it, the person who is always taking the lead is the most likely to die. Even if
If they didn't die in battle, they would die of illness and exhaustion! Not everyone has the kind of unlucky luck that Guangwu and Tang Taizong had, so they have to learn to be lazy."
"Don't do everything yourself, do you understand?"
The fourth prince finally nodded lightly. Although he was young and could not understand some of the truth, he could tell that the teacher was doing it for his own good - but he and his mother-in-law and some old servants around him tried to persuade him with sincerity.
The perspective of being careful and restrained is different. However, promising not to take the lead in everything in the future and letting others do it does not mean that he will give up this time.
Therefore, he still pestered Zhang Shou to ask questions, especially hoping that the teacher could analyze the possibility of this strange thing for him. In this regard, Zhang Shou could only say that there was too little information and he could not help.
He thought that the people might be from Goryeo, just because of the wind direction and the port of call. But where did the other people on the ship except the six people come from, and why did they have to perform such a monkey show? He really wondered
I'm confused.
There is a saying that a paranoid person will become a madman in the end. He is not a madman, so he cannot guess and is too lazy to guess for the fourth prince.
But no matter what, although it has not been completely proven that the six so-called Chinese mission members first sent by Shanhaiwei are really from Goryeo, Chu Kuan and Hua Qi both believed them, and then someone from the palace came to bring them
He sent the fourth prince back with a message, and then withdrew the soldiers and horses of the Ruiqi Camp, leaving dozens of people who originally belonged to the Shanhai Guard to guard again. Zhang Shou naturally felt at ease.
However, leisure comes to leisure, and the reception work has come to an end for the time being, but it does not end forever, because the people from Chu Guanwan went to intercept and arrest the next group of guys, but they still don’t know whether they will be sent here to continue to be taken over by him, so here
As the year drew to a close, Zhang Shou still had to stay in the public school.
Perhaps those hermits who have seen all the prosperity would love the lonely but quiet life, but unfortunately Zhang Shou never felt that he was a hermit. Moreover, after three years of living in the countryside, he had already tasted enough of the wild fun that he lacked in his previous life.
So he sent someone to send the little peanut Xiao Cheng back, and he recalled and sorted out the manuscript for half a day. Seeing that it was getting dark early, he couldn't help but sigh a little.
But the next moment, he heard Ah Liu's voice coming from outside: "Master, how about I go home?"
Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately realized that Ah Liu's so-called return home was definitely not to report to Wu or Zhu Ying that she was safe... but to probably take Zhu Ying over.
Although his wife, who had her own way of doing things, was considered the emperor's half daughter, he first heard about Emperor Taizu from Zhu Ying, but at this moment, the matter became more and more strange and unpredictable, so he couldn't help but hesitate.
But thinking about Zhu Ying's character, she knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the tiger mountains. He finally coughed and said: "In this way, you don't have to go there in person. I just send a message saying that it's over for the time being..."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Ah Liu suddenly coughed and said, "Master, it seems I don't have to go."
Almost at the same time, Zhang Shou heard the familiar and brisk voice coming from outside.
"Ah Liu, is Ah Shou busy? I brought him food. I also brought the vegetable buns you like to eat. Mrs. Xu specially added more mushroom gluten, and mutton hot pot. In addition to the boiled vegetables, there are also freshly rolled steamed buns.
Good noodles, you can come in and eat together..."
"No, no, you're not an outsider! Shou only has a small appetite and can't eat so much, so he has to rely on you, a big eater! Come on, do you want me to drag you in?"
Ah Liu's voice outside was soft and slow, which was very different from the crisp and sharp tone of the past, and Zhu Ying's teasing was even more straightforward and interesting. Zhang Shou went up to open the door curtain in person. He saw Zhan Jin and Liu Yin following Zhu Ying.
, Ah Liu was hesitantly taking the heavy food box from the hands of the two, and he said with a smile: "Sure enough, Cao Cao can't say it, he will be there as soon as he says it."
"Oh, were you just talking about me?"
Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows lightly. When she heard Zhang Shou said that Ah Liu was going home to pick her up, she said with joy, "Thanks to Uncle Hua for sending me a letter, saying that there is nothing serious happening here."
, I talked to my mother, and then brought you food. Although this public school will not be short of food for you, sitting with Ah Liu and two people eating across from each other in this cold weather makes me feel cold when I think about it.
.”
Zhang Shou saw Ah Liu's helpless face and couldn't help but laugh. When the huge table was filled with pearls, and the gold and silver were quietly trying to retreat, he simply clapped his hands and said, "Yingying stays."
Ah Liu, you two will stay too. Eating hot pot in this cold weather is not fun for two or three people, but it becomes more lively when there are more people."
Zhu Ying suddenly laughed so hard that she revealed the deep dimples of her wine, and immediately asked Zhan Jin and Liu Yin to stay.
After eating a few pieces of mutton, Zhang Shou couldn't help but coughed angrily and said, "Ah Liu, don't be so reserved in front of the girls. Who doesn't know that you are so good at cutting mutton?"
Appetite? So do Zhan Jin and Liu Yin, and there are no outsiders here. Do I, my uncle, still dislike you for making me poor? "
"The palace also sent a few sheep before, and the kitchen had slaughtered them all to cook. In addition to the six people who were entertained, I also asked people to make hot pot. Those people from Shanhaiwei can take turns to eat. If you want
If it’s not enough to eat, there should be some leftover over there!”
How could Zhan Jin and Liu Yin really let go of their appetites and eat because of Zhang Shou's words? Even if they had never had any crooked ideas about Zhang Shou, they just hoped that like most of the maids of the Zhu family, they would be able to eat on their own when they reached their age.
When choosing a son-in-law, let your own lady make the decision on whoever you like, but you can't leave the impression of a big eater in front of your uncle, right?
So, seeing Ah Liu really start eating, after a while, only the last bit of blood was left on the ten pieces of mutton on the table. They couldn't help but stayed for a while, and then they saw Zhu Ying taking it again.
Two plates of meat were placed in front of her and Zhang Shou, then he looked at them and said faintly: "Whether you want to be polite or go hungry, you decide for yourself!"
"Let me remind you first that my mother and I have said that we will stay here with Ah Shou until he goes home. If I don't go back, you can't go back either. Being humble to this kid Ah Liu means that you will go hungry.
You know, practicing martial arts and riding horses every day is not less."
Zhan Jin and Liu Yin looked at each other, and now they were really not polite to Ah Liu. The chopsticks were also played like an antelope hanging its horns, extremely agile and quick. There are no weak soldiers in a strong general. They had practiced martial arts with Zhu Ying since they were young.
Although there are not so many precious medicinal materials and ingredients to eat desperately for nourishment, the small and moving skills are still good, and the riding and sword skills can also be practiced with Zhu Ying.
However, it would be terrible to practice martial arts with the eldest lady when you don’t have enough to eat... If you faint from hunger, you will only be laughed at by the eldest lady!
When Zhang Shou saw the two little girls finally letting go and eating, Zhang Shou felt that his appetite was whetted - after all, eating with a reserved person would only be boring, but eating with a good appetite would definitely be a pleasant experience.
So, while everyone was eating, they were chatting about household matters. Seeing that the last cup and plate were in a mess, he laughed with satisfaction.
Zhu Ying saw that Zhan Jin and Liu Yin had started to clean up, and Ah Liu had quietly retreated outside to continue his mission. She pulled Zhang Shou to the window, and then asked in a low voice: "Ah Shou, is it true?
Korean? Are you sure?"
"What I asked may not be accurate, but you know the methods of Eunuch Chu and Master Hua Qi." Zhang Shou shrugged, and then said with a half-smile, "I didn't know that it would take so much time to perform such a play.
What is the purpose of the monkey show? Speaking of which, I have read a certain eunuch book before... It is an unfinished legendary novel, that is to say..."
He paused for a moment and recalled the plot, and then he became excited: "That is to say, when the Jin soldiers were about to invade and the Northern Song Dynasty was about to fall, the guys from Liang Shanbo in Water Margin took the waterway directly from Shandong to capture Goryeo.
Jeju Island, a large island in the country. As a result, I was just wondering whether I should occupy the entire Goryeo and then insert a knife into the back of the Kingdom of Jin, or whether I should settle in a corner... and the book was gone!"
Zhu Ying was also waiting for Zhang Shou to tell her the follow-up, so she suddenly encountered this ending. She was equally angry and funny. However, when Zhang Shou talked about the past and present life of Jeju Island, including the fact that this island was once Goguryeo, Baekje,
Besides Silla, there was an independent fourth country, Tamra, whose indigenous inhabitants were originally different from Goryeo, so she couldn't help but have an idea.
"Ah Shou, are you saying..."
"I'm just guessing." Zhang Shou shrugged with a smile, and then said nonchalantly, "Instead of believing that the Haidonghua Kingdom robbed the ship and there was a rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, there were remote places in Goryeo or Japan.
