1. Strict father and loving father

Qianqing Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

It's not facing the east like the south study, and even if the windows are closed, the sun will always shine on the screen.

Kangxi sat a little closer to the inside than before, he sat sideways, and the direct sunlight outside the temple gate was not measured. After reading the two books, I took off my glasses and closed my eyes to rest for a while.

The affairs of the DPRK and China cannot be delayed, and if there is a moment's delay, the folds will accumulate into a mountain. He postponed some slightly unimportant excerpts for the time being, and the rest needed to be reviewed by him personally.

I have seen the ministers and thought of my sons. I didn't call them in yesterday, and I'm going to find time to meet them today anyway.

Kangxi put down the fold in his hand, got up and called Liang Jiugong to come in: "Go and bring the fruit we brought from the south." ”

Liang Jiugong should go out and call the little eunuch. The emperor brought back a lot of fruit from the south, and he asked someone to take eight treasures in a box, so he called eight little eunuchs to hold them all.

followed the emperor out, but instead of going to Wuying Palace, he went to the study.

In the upper study, the princes and grandchildren were reading. Kangxi was covered by the eunuch all the way, and when he entered the upper study, the eunuch stood in the courtyard, and only Liang Jiugong waited for the emperor to pass.

Kangxi didn't go in to disturb their reading, just stood a few steps away and listened intoxicated. The sound of immature reading is a good sound on this shijie.

He listened attentively for a while, and said to Liang Jiugong with a smile: "This is the prince's family Hongxi." ”

Liang Jiugong laughed, knowing that at this time, the emperor just needed someone to listen to him, and he didn't have to reply.

Sure enough, Kangxi himself sighed: "It's the same as when Baocheng was a child...... Memorize the book, sonorous and powerful. ”

Liang Jiugong waited for the emperor for a long time, and the little prince looked at everything back then, and when he heard the emperor mention it, it was like the next day. But he just lowered his head at this time.

Kangxi stood here for a moment before he said, "Leave the fruit for them, and ask someone to take it back for them to eat after class." ”

"Yes." Liang Jiugong went to command.

Kangxi stood for a while, his thoughts drifting away.

At that time, there were few children in the palace, and after the self-protection, they stayed and slowly increased, but at a glance, there were still only a few small dolls. He was very anxious at the time, and the previous dynasty slowly declined, that is, he couldn't give birth to children. Generations have had a hard time.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty was still called gold, and the children on the grassland were born like cattle and sheep with cubs, a litter. Where is it like the previous dynasty, where the emperor was rich all over the world, but he couldn't ask for a son?

After entering the customs, he sat in the imperial court. The Qing Dynasty seems to have been cursed by this boundless country, and the heirs began to struggle. At this time, he heard from the mouth of the old eunuch of the previous dynasty that the emperor of the previous dynasty also said that the common people could not afford to raise many children, and they threw and sold them, and I was full of palace concubines, all of them were well fed and clothed and did not work, why couldn't they even give birth to a son?

It can be seen that the continuation of children and grandchildren is a sign of prosperity.

At that time, he wished that he would have more sons, and when there was no one at night, he also prayed to the immortal heaven, begging the immortal heaven to give more Lin'er to protect the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years.

The eldest son Baoqing, the second son Baocheng, and the third son Yinzhi died too much because of his siblings, and he even believed the warlock's words and sent him to the family of Erji.

In order to ask for a son, he pampered Nengsheng and raised concubines. As long as he can give birth to a healthy child, he will be pampered one after another. This is how Concubine De got into his eyes.

At that time, internal and external troubles followed, and he had no intention of drafting, and he had no time to draft. The children of the Manchu people are all at the forefront, and in addition to the show girls to fill the inner court and the outside of the palace, the Manchu surname also needs to marry a wife to continue the offspring. He had to repeatedly press the back draft, lest the front foot be married, and the back foot would die in front.

At that time, the Manchurians had just entered the customs less than a child, and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty made all the grassland people heartbroken. In the past, the population on the grassland was not large, and in order not to weaken the clan wealth, no one thought it was bad to marry a widow, and Taizong also married several women with dead husbands and sons.

But after entering the customs, everyone was slowly assimilated by the Han people, and began to believe that they said that the husband died before the door was this woman's fate, hard life, and people.

In the past, all the people believed in lamas, and when they arrived, they all believed in Buddhism. Although lamas also believe in Buddhism, they are very different from Buddhism in the Central Plains. Kangxi advocated believing in Buddhism and ignoring lamas, because when he was on the grassland, a famous lama could even influence the rise and fall of a clan, the lama was a living Buddha, but he was a saint.

There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two lords in the country. There is only one person in the world who can hear the voice of God, and that is him, and he is the Son of Heaven. And there is no need for another Buddha to point fingers.

Kangxi thought of this, and was still proud of what he had done. The first emperor Shunzhi Ye believed in Buddhism in the Central Plains, and also invited Zen masters to enter the palace to preach the scriptures, and the world even said that the first emperor wanted to shave the ordination.

He didn't see it in person, but he also believed that Huang Ama was by no means a person who would give up his responsibilities and become a monk for a woman.

He was still young when he ascended the throne, and there were shamans and lamas in the palace, and he had also seen them with the Empress Dowager. But although he didn't understand the deep meaning of the former emperor at that time, he insisted on believing in Buddhism because Taifu taught him 'not to change his father's will for three years'. It didn't work for him to talk by himself, so he wore a string of prayer beads on his wrist all the year round, and went to the Zazen meditation room of the first emperor every day to meditate. treats the people below, and often talks about the emperor's devotion to the Buddha.

When he grew up and could understand the deep meaning of the first emperor's actions, he often felt ashamed that he was not as far-sighted as the first emperor.

Nowadays, the Manchurian people's heart of worshipping Buddha is rising day by day, and the living Buddha of the distant grassland also wants him to bow his head in front of the heavenly khan. If it is still on the grassland, the Aijue Luo family will never dare to think about it.

Kangxi slowly paced to the Wuying Palace, first met the ministers, and then announced that his sons would come in. He talked about court affairs with his ministers, but only about family affairs with his sons.

The king of Zhijun and the crown prince sat on either side of him, and he asked one by one, and when it was Babel's turn, he remembered that he had no son or daughter under his knees, and instructed: "I have instructed you to choose two good children for you, and when you enter the mansion, you can also spread the branches and leaves for you, and this time next year, you will bring my emperor's grandson and the emperor's granddaughter to pay New Year's greetings, and I will allow you to enter the door." ”

Everyone in the hall laughed, and they all joked that the emperor ridiculed the eighth master.

Only a moment later, all the kings of Belle had retreated.

The third master and the fourth master walked together, and said with a smile: "What do you say the old man asked us to do?" I asked if we had grown tall and had not eaten, and even the matter of the old eight Nagge had to be brought up and asked. ”

The fourth master played Tai Chi and said: "Huang Ama has not seen his sons for a long time, so he naturally wants to talk about the relationship between father and son." I don't ask Honghui about his homework every two days, as if he hadn't done anything. ”

Seeing that he said these tasteless words, the third master smiled faintly and said, "Fourth, you are getting more and more slippery." ”

The two separated, and each rode back home.

When the fourth master returned to the house, he saw that it was not yet lunch time, and he calculated that it was the time for the husband to finish his homework and let them review by themselves. I went straight to the study.

To the east of the study, the three large houses have long been converted into places for the brothers to study. The fourth master seems to be the south study, sitting south to east, and the first ray of sunlight can shine into this room every day. The front wall is full of large open windows, all open, and there is no blind spot in the room. In order to show the meaning of reading and knowing the heart.

There were only three people sitting in the room, Mr. at the top, and Hongyu and the third elder brother sitting side by side.

The fourth master looked at it, and couldn't help but think that there were still fewer children in the house. The third elder brother has also moved to the front yard, and it's time for Su Su to have another one. Su Su gave birth to a child, except for Ergege, who was born prematurely for unknown reasons, and the remaining two elder brothers were all smart and healthy.

Besides, the half-brother may have less suspicion in the future.

It's not that he can't see it. When the third elder brother didn't move over before, Honghui and Hongyu looked like a pair of brothers. But since Honghui entered the palace and the third elder brother moved to the front yard, he realized that Hongyu's treatment of the third elder brother was different from Honghui's brother, friend and brother Gong as if he had learned from books.

Even Honghui always has three points of leeway. There is more than respect, but not enough intimacy.

He still remembers that when Honghui had creation, Hongyu was very envious, but he never went to play with creation without Honghui's permission. It wasn't until Honghui couldn't take a dog after entering the palace that Hongyu took over the creation, and one person and one dog became intimate.

But when the third elder brother saw Creation, he hugged him if he wanted to, and he could play if he wanted to. Sometimes Hongyu is playing with Zaohua to catch the ball, and the third elder brother giggles and grabs the ball and runs, and also makes trouble for Hongyu, throwing two balls to tease Zaohua. Confused all the creations. The third elder brother is happy to hahadaxiao.

I didn't see that he was worried that he would annoy Hongyu.

Ergege originally wanted to send Momofuku and let them have two brothers and one each. But the fourth master thought that Ergege would be a friend of Baifu, and Su Su also liked Baifu, and both of them were used to accompanying them in Baifu East Courtyard. And with creation, the two brothers can play together.

The relationship between the fourth master and Fourteen is not good, he feels that Fourteen is uneducated, spoiled, and not respectful enough to his brother. can remember that the same mother died early in the sixth elder brother, although the two did not have much interaction when they went to the study, but both of them liked to have such a brother. In the upper study, when the two of them occasionally look at each other when they write and endorse, they can feel 'this is my brother'.

When the sixth elder brother died, the fourth master also fell seriously ill. That's really how he likes to love a younger brother. After that, he had been hoping that Niangniang would have another brother, but he had been waiting for eight years. At that time, he had grown up, and his obsession with his siblings was no longer so deep. But he finally looked forward to the fourteenth arrival in the study, but it was completely different from the sixth brother in his memory, which made him very disappointed.

If Du Niangniang grew up by his side, he could still teach him a lesson when he was untamed as an elder brother. But at that time, he was already sixteen years old, and Yinzhen could already feel the complicated feelings of Yonghe Palace treating him, so he was still Huairou to this fourteenth brother, in addition to Huairou. Don't talk about teaching him a lesson, even if you have a straight face and reprimand a sentence or two, you have to think carefully before you dare to speak.

Thinking of these, the fourth master couldn't help but rejoice for Hongyu and the third elder brother, they have the same mother, there is not much difference in age, and they are good brothers.

It would be nice to have another little four.

He couldn't help but smile as he thought about it.

At this time, the third elder brother in the room stretched out after writing a word, and then shook his head with his hands on his waist. The fourth master couldn't help but shake his head, this must be another Su Su Sect.

As a result, when the third elder brother turned his head, he saw the fourth master standing under the window, and shouted happily: "Amma! ”

This stupid boy.

The fourth master laughed, Mr. had already seen the master coming, but when he saw that the master didn't want to disturb the little masters, he pretended not to see it, but he was still called broken by the third elder brother.

The gentleman got up and left his seat to salute, the fourth master came in, and after a few warm words, the gentleman retired.

The third elder brother pulled the fourth master to watch him write, and he was very proud and proud. The fourth master sat down to circle the words for him, he just took the pen for less than half a year, and it was almost the same as a dog crawling, but in the eyes of the fourth master, this stroke was drawn very straight, and he was happy to circle it, and he was very decisive at this point, and he circled it!

The third elder brother was crooked, and jumped up and down to find Hongyu: "Brother! Brother, look how well I write! ”

Hongyu's forehead was sweating, when the fourth master came in, he hadn't finished writing this word, and he didn't dare to put down the pen, the fourth master had always taught them to finish the things at hand before doing anything else, otherwise they would give up halfway, which was not a good habit. So he didn't greet the fourth master, and only cared about writing first.

The fourth master didn't stop the third elder brother, and wanted to see how Hongyu solved it. Do you scold the third elder brother and leave, or tell him that his brother hasn't finished writing yet, and wait to play with you?

Who knew that Hongyu wrote calmly, and said to the third elder brother without raising his head: "Brother helps my brother grind some ink, and there is no ink in the inkstone." ”

The third elder brother immediately stood obediently at the Hongyu table, carefully added water with an inkstone, and then slowly grinded it with an ink ingot, and muttered in his mouth: "Three circles on the left, three circles on the right......"

Hongyu almost couldn't help laughing, when he used to write in the East Courtyard, when Eniang sharpened ink for him, he liked to say, 'Three circles on the left, three circles on the right', the third elder brother heard it at the time, and then learned. Now I love to read this, like chanting scriptures.

The fourth master listened to it familiarly, and he also recited it silently in his heart, and then suddenly reacted, where did he hear this? Vegetarian? He vaguely remembered that when Su Su copied books and practiced calligraphy with him, Mo Mo loved to sing this three times left and right.

Looking at the two children in front of him again, the fourth master couldn't help but smile, what a ...... It's all crooked by this dang mother.

When Hongyu finished writing, he was really relieved. Respectfully handed over the copied article to Amma, and the two brothers read Amma carefully.

Hongyu's words are much better, and the fourth master treats him much stricter, and only two words are circled throughout the article. Hongyu is very satisfied, if he doesn't have a word, he is slacking off, and his homework has to be rewritten in the past few days.

But the third elder brother was not happy, and pulled the fourth master and said, "Amma, take a look again!" Look again! My brother writes much better than I do! ”

Hongyu was afraid that he would make the fourth master angry, so he immediately pulled him aside to persuade him, and finally coaxed him well, but after coming back hand in hand, he was still unhappy, and his eyes were red.

The fourth master likes their brotherly affection very much, and he doesn't mean it at all. Seeing that the third elder brother was so sad, angry and aggrieved, he thought about it and said, "Let's go back to your mother with Ama for lunch today." ”

As soon as he said this, the two brothers instantly became happy.

The fourth master breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he couldn't coax him, so leave it to Su Su.

In the east courtyard, Li Wei was preparing for lunch. When the fourth master entered the palace, the two sons ate in the front yard, and she and Ergege used it together. The two decided to eat a rarity and skip the main meal.

Li Wei wants to eat beef and spicy soup, with egg scones, plus a plate of fried vegetables and a fried meatball.

Ergege fell in love with beef ramen, Eunuch Liu made the consommé first, and Li Wei asked him to make curry soup, she wanted to eat beef ramen with xiaolongbaozi.

The two were eating, and Li Wei also said: "It should be wontons with xiaolongbao, and lamb skewers." ”

Ergege's eyes lit up when he saw the beef noodles in curry soup, and he said, "The noodles are chewy, I'll eat wontons next time." ”

It just so happened that the fourth master came back with two little ones. The third elder brother smelled the smell early in the morning, ran in with a whistling voice, and shouted when he entered the door: "I want to eat too!" Yes! Sister! ”

Ergege picked up a small steamed bun and held it on a small saucer, facing him: "Ah-"

The third elder brother leaned up on the table, opened his mouth wide, and Ergege instructed him: "Blow, take a bite and suck the juice first." ”

The sisters and brothers ate lively, Li Wei smiled and got up to greet the fourth master, pulled his hand and said coquettishly: "...... master"

The fourth master has always advocated that the meal should be used well, and she and Er Gege's table strictly speaking, there are two dishes of one meat, one vegetarian and two dishes, which is too bland.

He glared at her with feigned anger and told Jade Bottle to come and go to the dining room to ask for a few more dishes.

Eunuch Liu was ready early, and as soon as he said it here, he sent it over there. After a while, four cold and four hot soups were set on the table. The family eats two or three children together, and the dishes cannot be too little. No matter how frugal you are, you should have it.

After the fourth master brought those spring rolls into the palace, he let a group of brothers divide them, although he was tired, but the taste did not run. King Zhijun also stuffed his mouth and nodded at him: "The fourth child loves to eat alone." ”

Although there seems to be an invisible barrier between the brothers now, they are brothers after all. Looking at the empty food box, the fourth master was very satisfied.

Then he saw the egg scramble again, and he picked one up and took a bite, and the crispy crust was wrapped in a tender egg.

With the sour and spicy soup, it looks fragrant and beautiful.

After eating, Er Gege said that he would take Baifu for a walk to digest food, and Hongyu pushed the third elder brother to Li Wei's side, and also said that he would take Zaohua for a walk. The fourth master also avoided it and went to the west side to practice calligraphy.

Li Wei saw that the third elder brother was not in a high mood today, and it happened that the mother and son were whispering.

The third elder brother: "My brother's handwriting is much better than mine, but Amma has drawn many circles on my handwriting, and only two circles have been drawn for my brother......" He cried.

Li Wei hurriedly hugged him and asked him if he was crying?

He sobbed and said, "Because ...... Because I'm a little ...... Place...... So Amma let me ......"

Oh, he felt that because he was small, the fourth master deliberately praised him, so he let Hongyu be wronged.

Oh my boy, you're misunderstood. You Ama will never coax you because you are young, and you will be wronged. At this time, you are really small, and when you are as old as your brother, you will still say that Amma takes care of you and that you are so stupid.

Li Wei thought about it for a while, and asked the jade bottle to find Hongyu's personal eunuch Tongfu and bring Hongyu's childhood practice calligraphy.

After a while, Tongfu moved in a box, and when it was opened, it was all Hongyu practicing calligraphy when he was three or four years old.

Li Wei also took out the third elder brother's practice calligraphy in the past half a year, and the room was suddenly full of paper, the third elder brother was attracted and stopped crying, curious, she said: "Good, we can't compare like this, you have to compare horizontally." ”

The third elder brother has a question mark in his head: "What is ...... Sideways ratio? ”

Li Wei said: "It is to compare your writing when you were three years old with your brother's writing when he was three years old." ”

Third Elder Brother: "My brother ...... when he was three years old?" "He hadn't seen his brother look like when he was three years old, and he thought his brother was that old in the first place.

See, this is a misunderstanding.

Li Wei took out Hongyu's writing when he first arrived in the front yard, and then put the third elder brother's character aside, the two were compared, and the third elder brother was dumbfounded, this is really worthy of the two brothers, and they can't tell who is who. are all general dog crawling style, chicken paw words, and they are all full of circles.

The third elder brother is in the box, and the more he writes, the better he writes, and the circle becomes less and less.

"Weishenme? Brother Ming writes very well. "The third elder brother is wronged.

Li Wei said: "For example, if you look at the frangipani in our yard, didn't you also move one?" Aren't you happy when it just sprouts? If it's still that little after a year and a half, you'd be sad, right? ”

The third elder brother said of course: "Of course, the one in the yard is very big, and I should grow so big." ”

"So, the longer it takes, the more demanding it becomes." Li Wei lowered his head and said, "At this time, you Ama will be satisfied as long as you can hold the pen and write a full article." But after a year and a half, if you can only write such a word, Amma will be disappointed. ”

The third elder brother jumped up and said, "I will definitely write better and better!" ”

Li Wei nodded and said, "That's right, but what you Ama asks, it's always a little higher than your learning speed." This is called Father Yan. ”

The third elder brother seemed to understand, and said in a long voice: "Oh, it turns out that Ama is Yan's father who drew so few circles for his brother." ”

When the fourth master who practiced calligraphy in the west room heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Su Su is again. As long as the children are told to concentrate on learning, is this how Father Yan explained? Although it also sounds reasonable.

The third elder brother looked at his circle again and asked, "Then my brother and I circled so much when we were three years old?" ”

Li Wei: "Because he is a loving father at this time." ”

Fourth Master: "......=="

The third elder brother flipped through the Hongyu characters again, and said seriously: "That is to say, Ama was a loving father when he was three years old, and he became a strict father after the age of six." ”

Li Wei was surprised to find that this child would be analyzed, and happily hugged him on the head and kissed him: "Baby is so smart!" ”

As soon as he looked up, the fourth master stood at the door helplessly.
