Chapter Fifty-Seven: Wang Mai's Three Disciples
Li Er also heard the words of the eldest grandson next to him, and in his heart he really felt very ashamed of his wife and children, and he couldn't say anything, so he continued to help the son in his arms wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and he thought he was deaf.

Wang Mai shook his head when he saw this scene: "The purpose of education is to train children into talents, not to carve them out according to a mold. Although the child is small, he has his independent personality, and as a parent, you must also respect these, otherwise it can only be counterproductive. ”
The eldest grandson was annoyed in his heart, this person really didn't know how to lift, and he even began to accuse himself of not coming, and said coldly: "It seems that Wang Tejin has a lot of experience in education, I don't know what our husband and wife are doing wrong, and I ask Wang Tejin to correct it." She usually looks virtuous, and this is the first time she has turned her face in front of a foreign minister.
"Ahem......" Li Er coughed a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly opened his mouth to give Wang Mai a step down, "Wang Tejin is also a good intention." ”
Who knew that Wang Mai didn't get off the donkey, he smiled: "Since the princess asked sincerely, then I can't help but say." The educational tradition of my Han family since ancient times is that one of the parents sings red face and the other white face......"
"What do you mean by a red face and a white face?" The two of them were at a loss when they heard this.
Wang Mai then remembered that there seemed to be no opera yet, so he naturally didn't have a face, and hurriedly explained: "This is a local opera singing...... Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the so-called strict father and loving mother, which is the best interpretation of red face and white face. ”
After listening to Wang Mai's explanation of the opera, the husband and wife glanced at each other, and it was obvious that in teaching Li Chengqian, the eldest grandson sang with a white face, while Li Er was singing with a red face.
"Wang Tejin thinks it's inappropriate to do this?" Li Er asked puzzled. Who's not in this situation, the child has to have a fearful person to control, Li Er has been out on the expedition for a long time, this role is played by the eldest grandson, although the husband and wife did not say it explicitly, but they have already reached a tacit understanding.
"Big wrong!" Wang Maizheng said, "This is a very wrong concept. For example, if Cheng Qian could not complete his schoolwork, the princess would punish him severely, and Cheng Qian, because he was afraid of punishment, chose to throw himself into his father's arms, and in the long run, it would create a wrong concept for him, his mother was strict, and his father was tolerant, and after committing a wrong thing, he was unwilling to talk to his mother, and turned to seek comfort from his father. If one day, he commits a mistake that his father cannot tolerate, then how can he bear the consequences? ”
The husband and wife are both smart people in the world, and they immediately understood what Wang Mai meant. The eldest grandson solemnly bowed to Wang Mai: "The slave family is a woman's family, and I offended Mr. a lot just now, please don't take Mr. to heart." ”
"The princess is serious."
Li Er nodded heavily beside him: "Wang Tejin is reasonable, education can't just care about gains and losses, and don't ask about right and wrong." ”
"Family education is not just about hiring a gentleman who knows the past and the present, the most important thing is emotional communication. With all due respect, although His Royal Highness and the princess attach great importance to the teachings of the prince and give him the best conditions in the world, you are very stingy in terms of emotional investment, and you are unwilling to listen to your children's ideas, and this kind of education is very distorted. Shizi is still young now, what mistakes can be severely punished, sooner or later he will have to go out independently, and at that time, you are not around, who else can control him? Wang Mai vaguely remembered that Li Chengqian seemed to be deposed as the crown prince later, and he could understand the reason when he saw the way the couple educated their children.
Parents are the first teachers of their children, and no one can replace the role they play, especially in a political family like Li Er, whose family affection is very indifferent. In such a bad family environment, it is strange that Li Chengqian can grow up healthy and happy. Especially this self-righteous eldest grandson princess, although she is young, she is an antique head, and she thinks that her strict education can make her son successful, but as everyone knows, such a face-painted family relationship is the easiest for children to confuse right and wrong, and develop a character that looks at their faces and acts since childhood.
The eldest grandson lowered his head in embarrassment, although Wang Mai's words were a little alarmist, but the truth in them was clear, although she got along with Chengqian day and night every day, but her son saw her like a mouse seeing a cat, and she was not even as close as the relationship with the nurse.
Li Chengqian had stopped crying at this time, and looked at the three adults around him with a pair of big black eyes.
Li Er touched his son's head lovingly, and suddenly a year flashed in his heart, so he subconsciously looked at the eldest grandson. The husband and wife had a good heart, the eldest grandson nodded, and said to Wang Mai again: "Mr. is a pedantic celestial, the slave family has a reluctant request, and I hope that Mr. will accept the child as an apprentice." ”
"This ......" Wang Mai was stunned for a while, and said in vain that he had just said that this couple is a pair of living treasures, and they like to push everything out, which is really the best.
"Cheng Qian, don't hurry up and salute Mr!" Li Er bent down and put his son on the ground and urged.
Li Chengqian looked at his father and mother blankly, and asked with a finger in his mouth and in a milky voice, "Will Mr. beat me with a board?" ”
"Alas......" Wang Mai sighed, that's it, since my parents don't care about it, so what's the harm if Lao Tzu is this teacher? He lowered his head and touched Li Chengqian's little face with a pleasant face: "Of course not, I promise!" ”
"Will Sir let me write and learn etiquette?"
This little guy is really a big man, a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, Wang Mai was amused: "What do you say? ”
Li Chengqian knew that this matter was just an extravagant hope, so he had to reluctantly pout and bow to Wang Mai three times.
"Thank you, sir!" Li Er and his wife also solemnly saluted Wang Mai.
"Wait!" Wang Mai raised his hand and looked at the two solemnly, "I am very willing to accept Chengqian as a disciple, but I have one more condition." ”
"Sir, please speak!"
"I educate my disciples and have my own set of methods, don't interfere!" Wang Mai said.
"Naturally!"
"Also, education is not a child's business, parents must also cooperate."
"No problem!" Although Wang Mai's conditions changed from one to two, Li Er still patted his chest without hesitation and agreed.
"That's good!" Wang Mai squatted down and looked directly at Li Chengqian, "From today onwards, you are my third disciple." ”
Li Chengqian smiled and touched Wang Mai's cheek, although he still couldn't understand the meaning of the master and disciple, but he could feel that the relationship between himself and the person in front of him was already very close.
