Chapter 144: Befriending
Taisun said with a smile: "I have been weak since I was a child, and it is not suitable for me to practice martial arts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Others ride horses and shoot arrows, and I can only read more books to pass the time. ā
"Some of these books were bought, and some were given to me by others. There are many kinds of books, and there are many miscellaneous books. If there is a miscellaneous book that interests you, you may wish to take a look. It doesn't hurt if I send you. ā
Luo Ting's eyes lit up: "Is Your Highness serious?"
Taisun smiled in his eyes, and asked instead of answering: "I don't know what type of miscellaneous books you like? Is it a travelogue or a miscellaneous study?"
Luo Ting hesitated slightly.
He didn't want to tell the truth, but after thinking about it, it was no secret that he "didn't learn and didn't know" in the Guozi Prison, and Taisun was afraid that he would have known about it a long time ago. It doesn't really make a difference between saying it and not saying it.
"I like detective autopsies and stuff like that. ā
Luo Ting smiled self-deprecatingly: "My father is a two-rank jinshi, and he was born in a dignified state. It's just that there is a son like me who doesn't like to read and only likes 'crooked ways'. He lost face. ā
"When you say that, you're really arrogant. ā
Taisun looked at Luo Ting and said gently: "The ruler is short and the inch is long, and everyone has their own ambitions." You don't like to read because you don't like Confucianism, and you're not good at writing. ā
"There are a lot of people who can read. Some people read as nerds and may not really understand the truth in the book. Although some people do not like to read, they are quick and resolute in distinguishing between right and wrong, and they will become great in the future. That's the kind of person you are. ā
A few ordinary words, but Luo Ting's heart was surging and excited.
Gu Guanning also said something similar. However, Gu Wanning is a boudoir girl after all, and she is the person he likes. He was in front of her, not too embarrassed to speak freely.
In front of the grandson, he has no scruples about this.
"Your Highness's praise for me is really embarrassing. Luo Ting said with a smile in his mouth, but his eyes flashed with light: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, I have always thought so in my heart." If I don't take the imperial examination, will there be no way out in the future?"
"Sooner or later, I will let my father and mother see that I Luo Ting is by no means useless waste. ā
Taisun laughed: "Okay, I'm also waiting for this day." ā
"By the way, didn't you say that you like books like detective autopsies? I happen to have a few of these books here, so I'll give them to you. ā
As he spoke, he took out four books from the right side of the second floor of the shelf.
Two of them are biographies written by the former dynasty, one is the interpretation of the laws of the Great Qin written by the great Confucian of the current dynasty, and the other is a miscellaneous detective record written by the former criminal department.
Luo Ting took the four books, and his eyes were about to light up with joy: "Your Highness, you really want to give me such a precious book?"
All four books are manuscripts, and you can't buy them if you want to.
Unexpectedly, Taisun gave it to him so casually.
"A book is most precious only when it reaches the hands of those who regard it as a treasure. Taisun said with a smile: "I think you will definitely carefully flip through the solemn collection." ā
Luo Ting replied without thinking: "Of course." ā
Then he chuckled in a low voice, "But I have to hide the book so that my father doesn't see it." Otherwise, I will have to take another board. ā
After saying that, he grinned.
Luo Ting's smile is very hearty, and it is easy to infect the people around him.
The grandson also showed a knowing smile: "Luo Shangshu is elegant and courteous. Unexpectedly, he was a strict father in private. ā
Luo Ting sighed and spat out bitterness: "It's not! My father looks very kind, but he is never soft." I occasionally skip class, drink and read idle books, and as long as he catches me, it's a meal. ā
"Actually, I'm much better than my dad. But Lao Tzu taught his son a natural lesson, and I didn't dare to contradict it, let alone fight back, at most I just sneaked away when my father made a move. ā
Taisun couldn't help but laugh.
Luo Ting said some daily interesting things, and the grandson listened attentively, and occasionally interjected with a smile.
Luo Ting is a free and easy character, and his grandson's body is weaker than ordinary people, but his temperament is very easy-going. When the two talked, they were quite agreeable.
Taisun also quietly complained: "I have been weak since I was a child, and I can't practice martial arts. This is the biggest regret of my life. ā
"The mother concubine was afraid that my body would make a mistake, and she wouldn't even let me learn to ride a horse. In fact, doctors say that as long as you don't overwork, proper exercise will make you healthier. It doesn't hurt to ride a horse on weekdays. My mother was worried about my body and refused to nod. ā
Speaking of this, the grandson let out a long sigh: "In order not to worry the concubine, I can only endure it." ā
As a son of man, the most important thing is the word filial piety.
Even if the words and deeds of parents are a little excessive, they are mostly caused by loving their children.
Luo Ting smiled and nodded in agreement: "What His Highness said is true." I also often think that as long as my father has the strength to discipline me, even if I reach the age of sixty, I will be willing to be punished by him. ā
The grandson's eyes showed approval and appreciation.
This Luo Ting, although he is not very old, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and his mind is keen and transparent, and he is definitely a material that can be made.
"Luo Ting, if you don't want to go to Guozijian, why don't I say hello to Luo Shangshu?" Taisun suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Where the Criminal Department is, I will talk to Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department and ask him to arrange an errand for you." You're not too young, and you're barely able to do errands. ā
Luo Ting was both surprised and delighted: "Your Highness, what you said is true?
Taisun didn't care about his momentary gaffe, and said with a smile: "Such an important matter, how can I laugh casually, of course it's true." ā
It's a good thing that fell from the sky!
Luo Ting had grown to the age of fifteen, and he had never met anyone who appreciated him like this - except, of course, Gu Wanning.
He's not a fool either. The status of the grandson is noble, if there is no accident, the world will be the grandson sooner or later in the future. It is definitely a good thing that he is now befriending his grandson.
What's more, the grandson is graceful, generous and gentle, wise and wise, which is convincing.
Luo Ting smiled, clenched his fists: "Since this is the case, then I will thank Your Highness first." In the future, if Your Highness is sent, I will do my best and will not refuse. ā
It's always pleasant to deal with smart people.
There are some words that don't have to be spoken, Luo Ting will definitely understand.
Taisun accepted this gift calmly, and then said with a smile: "Although I don't have wine and food here, I have good spring tea." I'll have someone make a pot. ā
Luo Ting was not embarrassed, and nodded happily: "Without wine, drinking tea is also excellent." ā
The grandson commanded, and soon a palace maid made spring tea and brought it up.
The color of spring tea is slightly green, and the fragrance of tea strikes.
The palace maid holding the teacup had a pink face and peach cheeks, her eyes were intoxicating, and her voice was delicate: "Your Highness, please use tea!"
