Chapter 514: The Son Is Not Like the Father
In a blink of an eye, another year passed, and at the beginning of the third year of Xingping, Liu Jian returned to Yecheng to meet his family.
This time, Liu Jian's time outside was really too long, and he didn't return to Yecheng for almost two years, and his family was looking forward to him.
Liu Jian decided that this time he would stay in Yecheng for a while and spend time with his parents, wife and children.
After Liu Zhou saw Liu Jian, he was so relieved that he had to pull his son to drink a few jue that night.
When Hu saw his son, he cried several times.
Zheng Ci, Bian Yuer, Du Yan and Cai Mi were also overjoyed to see their husbands.
In addition, several of Liu Jian's children have now grown up.
Liu Jian's eldest son, Liu Ji, will be eight years old soon.
Compared with Liu Yu, who is active and playful, Liu Ji is more quiet, Zheng Ci asked Jiang Ji, a celebrity, to teach Liu Ji's Mengxue, and Liu Ji's memory is very good, although reading can not be said to be unforgettable, but it is also a little bit clear, and the work is very stable and solid.
Compared with Liu Jian, who has been lively and active since he was a child and has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, Liu Ji is actually not very similar to him, he has more personality than Zheng Ci.
Zheng Ci seems to be a little worried about this matter......
……
……
After drinking some wine with his father Liu Zhou in the evening, Liu Jian returned to Zheng Ci's room.
The husband and wife have not seen each other for a long time, and after washing, they lie down on the couch together and complain to each other.
The two of them chatted for a long time, from what Liu Jian saw and heard in the past two years from Sili to Bingzhou, then to Hetao, and then to Youzhou Port, and then to Yecheng's current prosperity......
Liu Jian and Zheng Ci are husband and wife, no matter what kind of content they talk about, whether it is a topic of interest to the other party, they will listen carefully to each other's words......
Of course, if you have to be superior to one another, Zheng Ci will accommodate Liu Jian much more than Liu Jian will accommodate Zheng Ci.
"Ma'am, how are the children doing during this time?"
Liu Jian led the topic to the child, and saw that Zheng Ci's face suddenly darkened.
"The children are all very good, especially Yu'er, who is getting stronger and stronger, lively and active, quick in thought, and heroic, quite like a father."
Liu Jian saw the change in Zheng Ci's expression, he sat up from the bed, stretched out his hand to protect Zheng Ci, and asked, "Madame seems to have something on her mind?" ”
Zheng Ci smiled and said, "How can the husband see that the concubine has something on her mind?" ”
"You and I have known each other for nearly ten years, if I can't even see this, wouldn't I be a husband in vain? What's wrong? But what's not going well at home? ”
Zheng Ci leaned on Liu Jian's arms, and after being silent for a long time, Fang said: "Everything is fine at home, the younger sisters are very virtuous, and there is nothing to worry about. ”
"That's about Ji'er."
Zheng Ci's expression didn't change, but her body trembled slightly.
Liu Jian was very keen to capture it.
"Sure enough, now in Hebei, the only one who can make you frown and worry about your heart is Ji'er......"
Liu Jian said with emotion.
The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt.
It is also human nature for a virtuous woman like Zheng Ci to care about her son and care about everything that happens to her son.
It's just that Liu Jian came back this time, seeing that Liu Ji is willing to read, knowledgeable, very sensible at a young age, and extremely respectful to his parents, logically speaking, this child should not let Zheng Ci have anything to worry about, right?
Whose parents, if they can give birth to such a child, I'm afraid it's too late to be happy!
"Madam, what's wrong with him?" Liu Jian patiently asked Zheng Ci.
Zheng Ci seemed to be a little hesitant and hesitant.
"Madam, I don't understand, although Ji'er is only seven years old, he is honest and honest, good at reading, and has a generous personality, which is very similar to you, Madam, what is there to worry about such a child?"
Zheng Ci sighed lightly and said, "Ji'er, this child, is benevolent, sensible, and intelligent...... But, it's ......."
"But he's too much like me."
Liu Jian frowned when he heard this.
"Isn't it a good thing to be like you, ma'am?"
Zheng Ci blinked his eyes, and there seemed to be an uneasy look on his delicate face: "Husband, don't you want the fragrant child to be like a father?" ”
When Liu Jian heard this, he was stunned.
Then I saw him laugh.
"Madame was worried about this, don't worry, I am not a high ancestor, nor a filial piety, and it is not a big deal for me to have a son who is not like a father! On the contrary, if he is too much like me, it is not a good thing, but I think that Ji'er is like the character of Mrs. Ji'er, I like it the most! ”
When Zheng Ci heard this, the uneasiness on his face seemed to have disappeared a little.
"Is this true?"
"Since you and I got married, when have I lied to you?"
Zheng Ci showed a happy smile on her face, she stretched out her jade arm and hugged Liu Jian tightly......
Soon after, Zheng Ci fell asleep in Liu Jian's arms.
However, Liu Jian did not sleep, he stared at the beams on the bed with wide eyes, and began to fall into deep contemplation.
He is a person who has traveled through the next generation, for him, the son is not like the father, it is not a big deal, the child is more like the mother, he does not think this is a bad thing......
But he could understand Zheng Ci's feelings.
The son is not like the father, it is not pleasing to the father, and there is no need to talk about other dynasties, just the ancestor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty and Liu Che of the Han Dynasty......
Liu Bang's son Liu Ying is benevolent and weak, Liu Bang thinks he is not like himself, and Liu Ruyi, the son born to Mrs. Qi, is deeply loved by Liu Bang, and Liu Ruyi is cool Xiao Liu Bang, Liu Bang is like himself, so he often wants to be the prince.
The "benevolent and gentle" Liu Zhi repeatedly admonished Liu Che's reckless military force, Liu Che thought that Liu Zhi was not like himself, and the father and son were also estranged.
Zheng Ci was born in a scholarly family, a family of celebrities, different from ordinary women, and her understanding of ancient and modern things is naturally far better than that of ordinary women.
Liu Ji is his eldest son, and his career is getting bigger and bigger, which can be described as a hegemon.
However, he also discovered to some extent that Liu Ji, the child, is indeed more like Zheng Ci, who likes to be quiet, likes to write, and is polite.
I can't say that there is anything bad, it's just that he conquered the Quartet, even if he can calm the world and leave Liu Ji with a prosperous world full of heroes and famous generals, with his such a generous and benevolent personality...... Is it possible to suppress this group of old ministers?
Liu Jian thought in his heart...... It's really not good, when Liu Ji grows up a little, he will take him with him and teach him by himself......
However, after all, he is not a professional teacher, and it seems inappropriate for a parent to teach his son in person and replace him as a teacher.
Moreover, what kind of character Liu Ji is, he has not fully figured it out, but he has only looked at the surface.
On the second day, after Liu Jian got up, he summoned Liu Ji's current teacher, Teacher Mengxue, to him.
The scholar who taught Liu Jimeng was Zheng Xuan's disciple, Jiang Ji, a native of Donglai Huang County.
In terms of seniority, Liu Jian also has to call him a senior brother.
This person is in his forties, and he has been with Zheng Xuan for many years, so it can be said that he is a master of the past and the present, let him teach Liu Ji, to be honest, it is a bit condescending, but Jiang Ji seems to be quite willing.
"Senior Brother Jiang, I don't know how Ji'er's schoolwork is on weekdays?"
Jiang Ji said very seriously: "The schoolwork is excellent, I understand it as soon as I teach, I want to make him read "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" this year." ”
Liu Jian nodded and said, "Who is Ji'er's playmate with on weekdays?" ”
Jiang Ji said with a smile: "Liu Kuo, the eldest son of the hussar general, Guan Ping, the son of the former general, Zhang Bao, the son of the left general, Tian Rong, the youngest son of Shang Shuling, and the youngest son of Shang Shu's servant...... All small master playmates also. ”
"I see, Liu Kuo, Guan Ping and Zhang Bao all know that they are the descendants of Yun Chang and Yide, but Tian Feng and the concubines of the trial are all close to adulthood, can they play with these three?"
Jiang Jiyan said: "The general misunderstood, Tian Rong and the judge were both born in the concubine room, not Tian, and the two families came out, but after all, they were the high families of the wang family, so the young master and the friends are all indispensable, and these five people are all the young master's companions." ”
Liu Jian nodded suddenly: "I see, then these little ones, the relationship is good?" ”
"Affectionate."
"Well, I know...... These little ones, Senior Brother Lao told them to do something on my behalf today. ”
"The general instructed, how dare you disrespect."
……
……
In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Ji, Liu Kuo, Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, Tian Rong, and the examiner came to see Jiang Jixue.
In the past, the course was about two hours smaller, but today, in half an hour, Jiang Ji ended the course.
A few small ones were very happy, and they were about to leave with their books in their hands.
Jiang Ji coughed, and then gently tapped the table with a rattan.
The six children immediately stopped and waited for the teacher's instructions.
"Today's homework ended early, not for anything else, but for something else for you to do on behalf of the teacher."
These are all children, and there is nothing else to do on weekdays except crazy play and class, but now the teacher suddenly arranges things, and they are full of freshness.
Liu Ji saluted at Jiang Ji and said, "Please also ask the master to say a word, and the disciples will definitely share the worries of the teacher." ”
Jiang Ji said: "The day before yesterday, King Chen Liuwang came with someone to invite the old man to the palace of the king to give a note on the "Zuo Chuan", the old man was busy with all things, and he couldn't go to pay respects, and he was very ashamed. ”
These children are still young and don't know the true meaning of Chen Liuwang's stay in Yecheng now.
In the eyes of these children, King Chen Liu, as a prince king, can be said to be one of the most noble existences in Yecheng, and they only know that there is such a number one person living in the palace near Zhangshui in Yecheng, but they have never had the opportunity to meet him.
Now they can see the true face of this legendary young prince, and they are very excited.
Seeing that Zhang Bao didn't say a word, he directly agreed.
"Don't worry, teacher, just look at us! Let's go! ”
Liu Ji seemed to be a little hesitant, he arched his hand and said: "I heard that King Chen Liunai is the younger brother of today's son, the widow of the first emperor, the dignity is incomparable, we are all young men, and there is no merit in the body, go on behalf of the teacher, the etiquette is not careful, I am afraid that the king will be ......responsible."
Jiang Ji said: "You are also the son of a great general, how can you act so twisted?" Are you going or not? It's the same if you don't go for the master......"
"Don't! Other! ”
Tian Rong hurriedly stopped Liu Ji and squeezed his eyes at him.
"Teacher, let's go! Let's go anyway! ”
"Okay, this is what you want to go to, the gift for the teacher has been prepared, just outside the car outside the door, the chariot is also ready for you, you get on the chariot, the coachman will naturally lead you to the palace to pay homage to the king!"
