87. See the child
The children kowtowed in front of Hua Wulin one by one, and said two auspicious words in a milky voice, most of them timidly kept looking at their mothers. Five older boys stood in a row, waiting for Hana Goku's school homework, and their mother stood aside, looking even more nervous than the children.
It's not easy to be born in a royal family, Yilan sighed silently, his father should be the closest person in the child's growth, but they looked at their father with more fear than attachment in their eyes.
"Yilan, come, sit down and meet the children, you haven't seen them yet." was out of his mind, and suddenly heard Hua Wu screaming.
"Ahh Coming back to her senses, she looked at her with disgust, she didn't think that the mothers of their children would want to know their children themselves. But Hua Wulin opened his mouth, and he couldn't touch his face in public.
I had no choice but to stand up, walked over to Hua Wulin and sat down, sure enough, not to mention the child's mother, it was a slightly older woman in the house, and her expression was unnatural.
"I've all come to see Mother Yilan. Ylan-Ylang is very knowledgeable, let her guide you in your homework. "Hua Wu said.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Mother concubine, there is no one in this mansion who has been crowned a concubine, even if it is a side concubine, or even a concubine, everyone is stunned and does not move. Countless inquiring eyes stared at Hua Wulone.
Of course, Hua Wushan knew what the Dao was for, but now, he had no intention of explaining. Tomorrow, at most, the day after tomorrow, he will ask the emperor for a holy decree, seal Yilan as the concubine of the six kings, and hold a concubine celebration in the name of righteousness. "Second child, what are you reading now?" Hana Gogo looked at the oldest boy.
He looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and he was already completely like a little adult, listening to his father's call, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Back to my father, last year Mr. finished the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Four Books and Five Classics have all been learned." "Yilan's name is Yan Yan, which means that he has read all the classics and can take the imperial examination. But think about it, in ancient times, there were many people who were thirteen or fourteen years old.
(The author has something to say: the book is empty, but there is no way to recreate a new literary system, so it can only be used.) We try our best to take the Tang as the boundary, and most of the classics that appear are before the Tang Dynasty. However, the author is only a shallow learner, and it is possible to confuse it, so don't mind. "What else did you read?" Ylang asked softly.
"This." He was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer.
"I'm a daughter, and I didn't think about taking the test for fame, so I read miscellaneous books since I was a child, and my husband made me not read well, and I often saw three watches in the middle of the night if I didn't allow me to read it." Ylan laughed.
"Oh, tell me, what have you read?" Hua Wushan was also curious.
"I can't say this, but if I want to take the school of the Four Books and Five Classics, I really don't have that ability." Ylang Road. "Can you tell me what's your name?" Yilan suddenly changed his language and asked.
Everyone was stunned.
"Yilan, when did you learn Daiguohua." Hua Wushan looked at Yilan in surprise and joy.
"During the more than two months in Fancheng, I learned from Ah Long, who had been on many missions to Daiguo and was proficient in the language there." Yilan still replied lightly in Daiguo's dialect.
"Ylang Ylang, me." Hua Wu shook his head with a smile, "Why did you think about learning this." ”
"Father, she just said that she learned from Master Aaron." A seven or eight-year-old boy who was standing there suddenly pointed his finger at Yilan and said loudly.
"Do you know Chinese?" Yilan's eyes lit up, squatted beside him, and still said in Dai Chinese, "Tell me, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Hua Yuqi and I'm seven years old." He hesitated for a moment, and then replied in Daiguo.
"His mother is a maid who pays tribute on behalf of the country, and her name is Li Xianglan." Hana Wushan explained with a smile on the side.
Yilan turned his head and glared at Hua Wushan fiercely, stood up and pulled Hua Yuqi to sit back to Hua Wuxi's side, "It seems that there will be two more courses next year, Dai Chinese and Tuxi Chinese." Yilan smiled and said to Hua Wu.
"My Nanli country is a big country, with a glorious history and civilization, why do you want to learn the language of a small country in Fanbang." The boy in second place said in a loud voice.
"Little boy, who told you that they are from a small country?" Yilan smiled and asked, "Have you learned about their history and culture?" ”
"The master said it." He said a word, but when he saw his father's stern gaze, he was silent again.
"Actually, I just proposed that you learn the languages of other countries for military purposes, you are all princes, and there will be a day when you will fight for the country, although there will be staff officers around you, but the most credible thing is your own judgment, all the words have been translated, often with the translator's subjective understanding, and even mistakes. Words are very esoteric knowledge, and sometimes a little bit of difference can mean very different things. Yilan said, "You have only read the books prescribed by the master, and if you have the opportunity, you can read more books from other countries, read the original text and translation, and you will have a different understanding." ”
"Have you read books from other countries?" The boy who had just questioned loudly asked curiously?
Yilan smiled, thinking that although he hadn't read the foreign works here, in his previous life, at your age, I don't know how many foreign masterpieces Lu Dao had read. "When it's older, you can go and see it when you have a chance. In addition, each country has its own glorious history and civilization, and has its own special science and technology, which has nothing to do with the size of the country. Arrogant and arrogant will only rest on one's laurels, which is not the open-mindedness and bearing that a superior person should have. "Ylang Zhengse.
"Yes." The eldest boy immediately replied with a respectful expression.
The second boy blushed, but refused to bow his head.
The rest of the children, still ignorant, looked at their brothers, and then at their mothers, and when they saw that the mothers did not say anything, they all stood silent.
There was a bang, and it was the sound of Hua Wushan slamming the teacup on the coffee table, "Didn't you hear what Concubine Yilan taught you?" He frowned. Everyone stood up in fright, the children all knelt down in fright, and even Yilan was startled.
"What are you doing?" Yilan glanced at Hua Wulone, no wonder the children were very afraid of him, and they took out a father's face at every turn.
"Get up." Ylang said kindly. Seeing that Hua Wushan didn't react, the children stood up one after another.
"Father." A little girl ran out from the side and squeezed to Hana Goku's side. Hua Wulin obviously likes her very much, and takes her by his side.
"Your name is Ylan? I heard that you went to the border to fight? Are you a man? Aren't men going to war? Yilan saw her look back at her, and her eyes were full of vigilance, even provocation.
She looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, a boy of this age was still ignorant, and the girl already knew a little about people, and her presence would definitely make her feel threatened. Yilan really regretted it, asking a girl of such an age to accept herself, but I am afraid that it will be difficult, but I have no experience as a stepmother. "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. It doesn't specifically refer to men. Yilan replied, "Xindao will mix up today first.
"Are you showing off your knowledge? Our daughter's family cares about the needle girl red, and I don't understand what you say. "She clearly understood.
"Ying'er, don't be rude." Hua Wushan scolded her lightly and looked at Yilan with some embarrassment.
"It's okay." Ylan smiled awkwardly. "Ying'er, the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article. In fact, it is not that you have the ability to read more books, after all, I am far inferior to you in many places. Yilan said humbly, but there was some resentment and helplessness in these words, in fact, these words were more for her mother, and I don't know if she could understand it at a young age.
"Hmph, just look at your appearance, you know that you can't do a lot, it doesn't matter, as long as you are obedient, I can teach you." There is arrogance and unsettling in the expression.
It can be seen that her mother's status in the palace should be very high, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she is very domineering. Yilan didn't want to worry too much about her, so she didn't say anything on the side.
"I heard you've made something else? Show me. Although Yilan retreated, she did not give up.
"This is a military secret, and I can't show it to you unless your father agrees." Ylang replied.
She pouted unhappily, obviously asking her father for it, but she didn't get it, "Hmph, it's definitely not a good thing, my mother said that only Shanzi craftsmen can make things." She muttered loudly.
"Ying'er, if you talk nonsense again, go back to your mother." Hua Wulin was really a little angry, let go of her, and scolded angrily.
When had she seen her father speak so loudly, she stared at him with wide eyes, her mouth curled, and she ran back crying.
The craftsman is a ninth-rate, and a child will say so, so it can be seen that adults don't know how to pass it on. Yilan sighed, and saw that Hua Wu blushed angrily, "Forget it, she's just a child." Yilan could only persuade him.
Ying'er was disrespectful, grounded from today, and thought about it behind closed doors at home. His mother and daughter had no way to teach her, so she was also grounded and fined for three months. Hana Wu was silent for a long time, and suddenly announced.
The crowd was in an uproar and stood up one after another.
"Master, what did Ying'er say wrong? How can you do this to her. It was Zhu Lihua who fell to her knees and cried.
"Grounded for two months." Hua Wushan ignored her cry and added.
"Father." Ying'er, who was kneeling, stood up and glared at Yilan angrily. "Who is she, a country girl, don't say scold her, it's normal to beat her, what did my father do for her to ban her mother's feet twice, and her mother was a hundred times more noble than her." She almost cried and yelled.
"Grounded for three months, come on, pull the two of them down." Hua Wulu was unmoved, and said coldly.
Ying'er seemed to be frightened, and there was no sound for a while, Zhu Lihua hugged her, and refused to let others help her, so she knelt there like this, staring at Yilan viciously.
Yilan felt that countless eyes were like sharp swords, capable of killing. Only she sat with Hua Wulin and didn't get up, because Hua Wulin kept signaling her to sit and don't move.
"Sit down." Hua Wushan glanced at everyone sternly and said slowly. "Fugui, tomorrow I will take my film to invite someone, and arrange for the children to attend classes according to Yilan's request."
"Yes." Fugui flashed his consent from a corner.
