No. 564 Nursery School became kindergarten 2
"Tenth sister, eleventh brother also pleases you!" Zhao Ji hurriedly said.
"Hehehehe, I didn't expect you to be afraid of Brother Eleven! Rest assured! It's all about this princess. The tenth princess happily promised.
There was still more than an hour before lunch, and Cai Dao asked Cai Ban to teach several princes and princesses to do a set of soothing gymnastics, the purpose of which was to let them stretch their bodies after exercise, which could not only promote the blood circulation of their whole body, but also stretch their joints to prevent them from being injured in subsequent sports.
These children are pampered from birth, and they may be injured in sports if they are not careful.
After that, there was a master specially sent by the Empress Dowager Zhu to teach them to study history books and practice calligraphy.
Cai Dao returned to the study by himself and began to practice calligraphy, but as soon as he picked up the pen today, he couldn't write a single word, his mind was chaotic, and his thoughts were thousands, but he never got a clue.
He actually knew very well in his heart that the source of this emotion was coming, but he didn't know what was going on in the palace for a day, and his heart would not be calm for a day.
At noon, Cai Dao instructed his subordinates to start cooking, and several children were in the best period of physical development, so the meals he prepared were relatively coarse, but they were very nutritious. Brown rice, mushroom and egg soup, and a smorgasbord of beef, woad and tofu. Unfortunately, there are no peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and curries here, otherwise the soups and stews would be more in line with Cai Dao's taste.
This beef is not yellow beef, nor is it slaughtered from the Liao State to buy farming cattle, but from the hands of those Tubo people in Hezhou. Up to now, although there is no shortage of cattle in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, the ban on cattle and horses is still being strictly enforced.
In the battle of Song and Xia in the Shaosheng period, the Great Song army won victories on the entire front, so that the Tubo people in Xihe Road saw the situation clearly, so Ding Youcai, the richest wealthy merchant in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, did business here under the secret instructions of Cai Dao. He bought a large number of yaks from the Tubo people, and the place of sale was naturally not Bianliang City, but Cai Dao.
Those Xiaocili sailors who are still fighting for Cai Dao at sea need a lot of high-protein supplements.
And the conditions of those palace maids and eunuchs are not so good, black noodles and wowotou, green vegetables and egg soup, and stewed vegetables are made of fatty pork, wead and tofu. But even so, these lowly people sat around and ate deliciously. Perhaps, this is the only benefit they have to follow their master to the nursery school!
This kind of food is much better than in the palace.
Several children gathered around the table, and they were all a little disgusted at the rough food prepared by Cai Dao at first, and the brown rice was eaten in the mouth and tongues were pulled in the mouth, and swallowed and throated. However, King Shen quickly got used to it, Cai Ban helped, scooped a big spoonful of the stew, and in his evening, King Shen held his bowl and pulled it up, it seemed that he was really hungry.
Cai Dao didn't care if the other children ate or not, but in the nursery, he only provided such meals, and he liked to eat or not. If you don't want to eat, you're hungry.
Just then, another guest arrived.
The janitor came in to report, and Cai Dao had to put down his dishes and chopsticks and personally take Cai Ban out to greet him.
The people who came were the eldest brother Cai You and the fifth princess, and their two daughters, as well as the younger brother Cai Shan and the sixth princess, and their two sons.
"Big brother, Brother Shan, Poor Dao feels upset when he sees a few of you now! You are in and out of pairs one by one, showing affection, and you are all showing off here in the poor road! What should I do as a lonely man? Cai Dao laughed after seeing these two couples.
"Hahaha, the third brother always likes to joke. Big brother, I'm here this time, but I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, this is a big matter I want to ask the third brother! Third brother, anyway, you have a lot of children here, look at one is to see, for the elder brother is ready to hand over your two little nieces to you for discipline. As soon as Cai You met, he went directly to the topic, and as he spoke, he stuffed two five- and three-year-old little girls into Cai Dao's arms.
These two little girls are not afraid of life at all, as soon as they entered Cai Dao's arms, they giggled and laughed, and a pair of four hands grabbed the mustache under his chin and pulled hard.
This can make Cai Dao hurt terribly. The scalp is even more numb, a little monster is enough, Cai You actually bought him one and got one free.
"Third brother, I'm your younger brother, you can't favor one over the other!" Cai Shan smiled all over his face and handed his two sons into Cai Ban's arms.
Cai Shan became a few years late, so his two are only three and one years old now. The two boys followed their mother, not afraid of life, but also quiet.
"Brother Shan, this little one is only one year old, are you willing to put your son here with me?" Cai Dao didn't have a headache now, his head was about to explode.
"Fifth sister, sixth sister, you are here too!" Cai Shan was still talking, and another carriage came outside the door, which looked more luxurious than the carriages of the fifth and sixth princesses.
"Third sister, why are you here?" The person who came was the third princess who married into Han Jin's family, and the first to jump off the carriage was her husband Han Cong, when the third princess also got off the carriage with a child, the tenth princess suddenly came out from behind Cai Dao, and stepped forward quickly, like jumping into the arms of the third princess.
However, she suddenly saw the child in the arms of the third sister, and then she suddenly realized that the third sister was no longer the third sister who always liked to hold her and play with her.
The third sister has already been married to a wife.
"Ten sisters, come and take a look. You've become an aunt, and this is your little niece. As soon as the third princess saw her tenth sister, she was naturally very happy in her heart, and excitedly held her daughter and handed it to the tenth princess.
"Brother Han, what are you ......" Cai Dao arched his hand to Han Cong, but he only said half of the words, because he was really a little strange in his heart, he did not have any friendship and contact with the Han family, and, according to rumors, in recent times, Han Jin has been seriously ill, I am afraid that this time, this old guy will definitely not be able to survive. Han Cong is not at home to serve the sick, why did he come to him?
Han Zhen is 79 years old this year, as the last prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty with real power, presumably after his death, Zhao Xu will definitely give him and Han Jin, the Han family, enough honor. What's more, Han Cong is still Zhao Xu's brother-in-law, and this relationship can ensure that the entire Han family will be favored for at least three generations. It stands to reason that even if Han Jin dies suddenly, the Han family shouldn't bother themselves!
"Daochang Cai, this time I came, but it was Han's own idea, the first daughter of the younger brother, of course, I hope that she can live a healthy life." Han Cong respectfully bowed to Cai Daoshen and said sincerely.
So that's the case, Han Cong said such sincere words, which can be regarded as solving the confusion in Cai Dao's heart.
It seems that the sudden death of Princess Fuqing is not only a matter of whether to abolish or not, but also the negative impact of simply worrying about her children has spread to the outside of the palace, and most of them will occur between couples with newborn children. In this era, children suddenly fall ill and die, even if they are rich and noble, they are not immune.
Just ask me, what parent in the world does not want their children to live in good health and well?
Cai Dao's thin reputation in the seventh year of Yuanfeng finally caused him a lot of trouble. The princes here have not stopped, and now the people who are related to them will immediately send their children here.
It seems that they just want to buy peace for their children!
However, for Cai Dao, this responsibility is too great.
The third princess brought her only daughter over this time, and it was really not her own idea. It was Han Cong's idea, and for this matter, the entire Han family and the third princess expressed their opposition. Of course, from the position of the third princess, even if she herself is in the same mood as Han Cong, she still has to consider it from the position of her husband's family.
However, everyone in the Han family obviously underestimated how much Han Cong loved his daughter, and even though everyone was against it, he still insisted on sending his daughter to the nursery.
Because of this incident, he almost fell out with his father Han Zongwu completely.
As a result, after the old man Han Zhen heard about this when he was sober, he ordered someone to lock Han Zongwu in the study. This old guy knows that his time is running out, so he still supports the Han family and Cai Daoduo to have some benign contact.
In the past, when he Han Zhen was there, the Han family really didn't need to talk to the Cai family and Cai Dao. However, according to his observation, the entire second and third generations of the Han family, so far, there is not a single descendant who has really become a weapon. Only Han Jiang's eldest son Han Zongwen is barely half, and his own son Han Zongwu is naturally outspoken, but he doesn't know how to judge the situation.
Not only will his eldest son not be able to help the family, but there is a great possibility that because of his outspokenness, he will bring greater disasters to the family.
But the problem is that because his father Han Wei is a conservative, Han Zongwen has always been secretly excluded by Zhang Dian and others.
