Shi Min was promoted to the Duke of Wei, and he was also the general of the Great Zhao State, with a high position, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, such a thing is gratifying.

But Shi Min seems to be very low-key, unlike those who get a little reward, they are complacent, call friends, and drink and feast at home. After Shi Min was rewarded that day, he stayed at home for a few days, and his general's mansion was a city, and all the celebrities from the three dukes to the opposition visited him with famous thorns.

In this regard, Shi Min did not refuse.

He really wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength didn't allow it. And at this time, no matter how low-key he is, his words and deeds will definitely be known to Shi Hu and the monarchs and ministers of the world.

For five days in a row, Shi Min was receiving visiting guests, and the ministers who had a little right to speak in the court had come, in addition to Shi Bin who did not deal with him, such as Shi Jian, Shi Zhen, Shi Zun and others came to visit, and even Pu Hong, Yao Yizhong, these local princes have sent congratulatory gifts, even if they do not visit in person, they have to bring some congratulatory gifts, and send their sons, nephews and brothers to have a good relationship with Shi Min.

After sending off another wave of guests, Shi Min felt tired, and it was time for dinner, and Shi Min's wife and children all sat down.

"Huh? What about Ming'er? Shi Min didn't see Shi Ming's figure, and couldn't help but ask Dong Qiaoqiao beside him.

At this time, Shi Min had five wives and concubines, four children, his wife Dong Qiaoqiao, his wife Shi Lan and Cui Ying, and his concubines Dugu Jialuo and Huang Yuechan, Huang Yuechan had just passed the door. In addition, Shi Min also has three sons and a daughter, the eldest son Shi Ming is four and a half years old, the second son Shi Zhi is only two years old, and the eldest daughter Shi Lihua and the younger son Shi Cao have just turned one year old.

"Husband, Ming'er is still writing in the study. The concubine has already asked Ming'er to come over for dinner. ”

Hearing this, Shi Min couldn't help frowning and said, "Writing? Have you taught Ming'er to read and write? ”

It's also ashamed to say that Shi Min is out fighting all the year round, or often staying in the barracks, eating and living with the soldiers, 365 days a year, and Shi Min stays at home for only 50 days.

It's not that Shi Min doesn't care about his wife and children, but he can't get out of all his troubles.

Dong Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "Yes." Husband, our Ming'er was well-behaved and sensible when he was a child, smart and clever, and the concubine specially invited a gentleman for him. Not long ago, Mr. Ming'er was precocious. ”

Shi Min shook his head and said, "It's still too early to read and write." I originally planned to ask another gentleman to teach Ming'er to read and write next year. Qiaoqiao, it's not impossible for you to let Ming'er start reading and literacy so early, but you must pay attention to arranging your time reasonably, and you need to combine work and rest. It's useless to study and memorize by rote, not to mention that our Ming'er is still young, don't force him to do things he doesn't like to do! Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. ”

"These concubines know."

Not long after, Xiao Shiming walked over with small steps, holding his little head high, like a personable gentleman. This surprised Shi Min, you must know that Xiao Shi Ming in the past was lively, he walked on weekdays, not to mention rampage, but he was always reckless and ran around with a smoke.

"Father." Xiao Shiming didn't know where he learned it, so he bowed and respectfully bowed to Shi Min, and he still looked good.

Shi Min then beckoned: "Ming'er come here." ”

Shi Ming walked over with low eyebrows, and Shi Min kindly hugged him in his arms and let him sit on his lap.

"What's in your hand?"

"It's a copybook."

"Copybook? Is it the words you wrote? Take it and I'll take a look. ”

After taking the copy, Shi Min looked at it slowly.

In this era, the calligraphy is actually a simple graffiti, not like the students of later generations, but also according to the gourd to draw the scoop, one by one to write out.

Shi Min looked at the twelve words on the notebook, and couldn't help but bow slightly, these twelve words are benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, loyalty, filial piety, loyalty, festival, forgiveness, bravery, and letting.

Xiao Shiming has been reading and writing for a while, and this character is written crookedly, but it can be seen roughly, but a child who is four or five years old can write such a handwriting, and he is already too evil.

When Shi Min was so big, he was still digging birds' eggs! Of course, that is the Shi Min of later generations, when Shi Min was four or five years old in this life, he was actually forced to study by his father Shi Zhan, but not to learn literature, but to practice martial arts, some simple words Shi Min at that time could write and could also recognize.

Shi Min said with great interest: "Ming'er, the twelve characters on this calligraphy were written by yourself, or did Mr. ask you to write them." ”

"It was the gentleman who arranged it for the child."

"Well, did the gentleman tell you what it meant?"

Xiao Shiming's finger touched the corner of his lips, tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "Yes." ”

"Can you understand the meaning?"

"I can't."

Xiao Shiming shook his head and said, "But father, the child knows the meaning of filial piety and piety. ”

"Tell me about it. If you say well, your father will reward you with a new set of clothes. ”

"I don't want clothes, I have enough. Father, the child wants to eat rock sugar gourd. ”

Looking at Xiao Shi Ming's disobedient appearance, Shi Min couldn't help but scratch the tip of his nose a little dotingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, good." Look at you like this, eating too much sugar gourd will cause tooth decay. ”

"Say it. What is the meaning of filial piety and filial piety? ”

"Hmm. Father, the child first said 'filial piety', there are three meanings of filial piety, the first is to respect the ancestors. The main way of filial piety is sacrifice, and the ancestors are sacrificed through offerings at the Jongmyo Temple, and the object of filial piety is the deceased! Our house enshrines the spiritual seat of our ancestors, and my father does not forget to take us to worship our grandfather, great-grandfather and great-grandfather during the New Year's holidays, which is a kind of 'filial piety'. ”

"Not bad." Shi Min bowed slightly, expressing his approval.

"The second way of 'filial piety' is to pass on the ancestry. Yesterday, Mr. told the child that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, and the ancestors are born of the lives of our generation, so worshiping the ancestors is to continue the life of the ancestors, endlessly. ”

"What else?"

"This third way of 'filial piety' is to be filial to and respect one's parents. The person who is given birth must owe something to the person who gave birth to him, and must be obedient, filial, and support the person who gave birth to himself, which is the foundation of a person's life. ”

Hearing this, Shi Min smiled and said, "Very good." It seems that you already know a lot about one of the ways of 'filial piety'. So what does '悌' mean? ”

"It means pity, and it is a matter of course for an elder brother to love and care for a younger brother."

"Haha! Fabulous excellent. Shi Min clapped his hands and said, "It seems that you all know the meaning of filial piety." So Ming'er, do you know the meaning of the other words? Did your husband teach you? ”

"Nope." Shi Ming shook his head and said, "Mr. just emphasized the word filial piety, and the others were just a word, and the child tried to ask, Mr. said, now I can learn filial piety well, and more, I have to wait for the child to grow up by himself, and if he has more experience, he will know that Mr. will teach me." ”

Shi Min bowed slightly: "This gentleman of yours is really a good Confucian student, not only knows how to teach you according to his aptitude, but also teaches you these truths, I must greet him well another day." ”

Hearing this, Dong Qiaoqiao, who was on the side, couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled: "You don't have to be so troublesome." Husband, the gentleman who invited Ming'er as a concubine is none other than Cui Haocui's master. ”

"Haha. It turned out to be Yuan Liang, well, Yuan Liang used to be a private school teacher, taught many students, and he preached and taught Ming'er, so I have nothing to worry about. ”

"Husband, in the future, will your children be educated by Mr. Yuanliang?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Shi Min said lightly, "Yuan Liang is a talented person, how can he delay his teaching?" Qiaoqiao, you can find a few more gentlemen, it is best to arrange a class schedule for Ming'er, when to go to class, when to move freely, you must arrange it reasonably. My son of Shi Min can't be a nerd. ”
