After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Today's protagonist, the young son Sujie, was carried out by the nanny, Shi Nai reached out to take it, and bent over to send the son in front of the grandson.

For a three-day-old child, the chickenpox marks on his face have almost faded, revealing his white and tender nature.

Although it was not the first time Taisun had seen such a young child, the ones he had seen before were all his half-brothers and half-brothers.The Crown Princess doesn't like those concubines, so naturally she won't let her sons get close to them, and the mothers of those concubine siblings don't like to let their children get close to the Crown Princess, the eldest son.

Although this situation has changed since the death of the crown prince, only the crown prince's side concubines and concubines have changed, and the crown prince has never changed.

Because, everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that it would be best for the entire Eastern Palace if the grandson successfully ascended the throne.

If something happens to the grandson, the sage will never give up the princes for the sake of the prince's concubine.

If the grandson ascended the throne, the children of the side concubines and concubines are the legitimate princesses and younger brothers; if other princes ascend the throne, whether they will survive or not is another matter.

Therefore, after the crown prince passed away, those women who used to compete with the crown prince for favor lost his former courage and became more respectful in front of the crown prince.

But the concubine's dislike for them has not diminished in the slightest.Even more confident than before.

After being taught by the prince and the sage one after another, the grandson actually looked down on the princess's behavior.But the Crown Princess is his mother after all, and she protected him when he was young, so he wouldn't make his mother sad because of those concubine siblings.

Therefore, when he saw those younger brothers and sisters who were concubines, he always felt a little less fond of them.

But Shi Nai's son was different.

This child has no conflict of interest with him.Even as long as there are no accidents, they will still be a community of interests.

Therefore, how does he see, how does he think this child is cute.

"Shaobao, does the young master have a name?"

This tone is similar to when a sage wants to give something a name.

Shi Nai raised his eyebrows unobtrusively, and said with a smile, "Yes, I will name him Sujie."

Taisun obviously showed disappointment, but still praised with a smile: "Good name."

He took out a light golden lock from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into Sujie's swaddling clothes, "This was a gift from the emperor's grandfather when Gu was just born. Now Gu is gifting him to the young master, hoping to bless him." Grow up safely."

Shi Nai quickly declined, "No, Your Highness, this is too precious."

Taisun hastily stopped the hand he was about to take out, and said seriously: "This is my own wish, I hope Shaobao will not refuse."

Shi Nai was in a stalemate for a while, and finally compromised, "In this case, I will thank Your Highness on behalf of Quanzi."

Only then did Taisun show a smile.

Then, under the disappointed eyes of the guests and friends around him, he bid farewell: "It's getting late, I'm going back to the palace now."

Shi Nai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, it's better to go back earlier, so that the saint won't worry."

******

When Taisun returned to Qianqing Palace, the Secretary of Jiaofang was arranging a new song and dance, and the sage rarely had free time, so he was lying on the couch enjoying the dance.

Taisun walked around a group of dancers and saluted the saint with an excited face.

The sage tapped his right hand and nodded at him, motioning him to get up and sit aside.

Taisun is only 11 years old this year, and he has only a vague sense of the difference between men and women, and he still doesn't know much about the beauty of women's femininity.

Therefore, facing a group of enchanting dancers dancing gracefully, he didn't care to look at them, he was only thinking about sharing today's events at the Shijia with his grandfather.

He was sitting on the couch, rubbing back and forth, unable to calm down for a moment.

The saint glanced at him several times, and finally shook his head secretly, waving his hand to signal those dancers to go down.

Under the lead of the leading dancer, the group of dancers saluted silently and retreated out without a sound.

"Going out of the palace today, did you enjoy playing?"

"Happy." The grandson smiled and showed a row of small white teeth, excitedly talking and gesticulating with the saint, "I saw the young master of Shaobao's family. There is a little bit of red on the face."

The sage smiled and said, "It's the chickenpox marks that haven't faded away. When the child was born, he had it all over his face."

"Ang?" Taisun was startled, "Did you have it when I was just born?"

"Yes, why not?" The saint showed nostalgia, "At that time, when you were just born, I hugged you, oh, it was bright red, like a little piglet. I said at the time, this child , when it grows up, it must be white and tender."

The sage laughed and pinched his grandson's cheek, "Look, isn't it white and tender now?"

"Huh?" Grandson covered his face unwillingly and protested, "Grandson has grown up, so he can't pinch his face."

"Okay, okay, okay, don't pinch, don't pinch."

Taisun looked at him suspiciously for a while, seeing that he really did not intend to reach out his hand, so he put his hand down.

The saint shook his head secretly, and then asked about a topic that his grandson would definitely be interested in: "Aren't you going to name Shi Nai's son? Why, have you chosen it?"

Taisun showed a look of disappointment, "Shaobao has already prepared a name, called Sujie."

"Su Jie?" The sage glanced at the crisp autumn weather through the gate of the palace, and said with a smile, "This Shi Nai is so opportunistic in naming his son."

Taisun Yuan only thought that the name sounded good. After hearing what the sage said, he realized that the so-called "Su Festival" was the autumn season?

Those born in autumn are called "autumn", and those born in winter are called "winter"?

Thinking of this, Taisun couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he jumped off the couch, and while walking towards his desk, he said, "I haven't finished the homework I kept, and the Shaobao will have to check it tomorrow."

The saint said: "I haven't seen you being so active in the homework left by other masters."

"What they left...was either memorization or writing. It wasn't challenging." Taisun found out the two math problems that Shi Nai had left for him, and studied them with relish.

After hearing his words, the sage also became interested, and slowly walked behind his grandson, put on the tortoiseshell glasses, and looked at the question on the white paper.

Mathematics is a precise subject. In order to avoid ambiguity, Shi Nai used the vernacular to answer the application questions.The sage took a closer look, and saw that the grandson was reviewing the question, which read:

Today, there are several palace ladies sharing meals, one person gets a bowl of rice, two people get a bowl of vegetables, three people get a bowl of soup, and share 55 bowls.

Question: How many palace maids are there in total?

Kind of interesting.

The sage watched with interest Taisun holding a special charcoal pencil, writing and drawing on the draft paper, full of symbols he did not recognize.

But seeing Taisun frowning from time to time and showing off from time to time, it is obvious that these symbols are not scribbles, but contain certain rules.

Then, when the sage could not see a cup of tea, Taisun came up with the answer.

——A total of 30 palace maids.

Is it out so soon?

The saint was a little surprised, "How do you calculate?"

"what?"

Taisun was concentrating on the second problem, when he was startled by his sudden noise, he patted his chest hastily to comfort himself.

Seeing this, the saint was a little annoyed, "How about it, are you okay?"

——How could he forget, the child's soul is light, and he can't help being frightened.

"Grandson is fine." Grandson smiled, but his face was still a little pale.

The saint frowned and said, "Where is it all right?" He turned his head and told Dai Quan, "Go get a bowl of soothing soup."

Nowadays, the sage raises his grandson with more care than he did when he raised the prince.

He really didn't have the energy to train a third heir.If something happens to the grandson, he doesn't know if he can stand the blow.

"The grandson is really fine." The grandson argued hard.

As soon as he heard that he wanted to drink soothing soup, he had a bitter face.The taste of that soup is really not very good.

The saint bluffed, "No, look at your face is still pale."

After saying a word, he felt that he was too strict, so he quickly softened his expression and voice, and coaxed, "Be obedient, just drink a bowl, huh?"

The grandson knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to drink it all by himself after Dai Quan brought it over.

Only then did the sage show a relieved expression, pointing to the pile of symbols that he couldn't understand and asked: "All these things, Shi Nai taught you?"

"That's right, they're all from Shaojiao, and no one else knows it!" Taisun proudly showed off.

"What...these all mean?"

"Hmm..." Taisun hesitated, "These are all Shaobao's unique knowledge, I'll reveal it privately, isn't it good?"

The sage laughed and scolded: "You are the only one who has a lot of wisdom. I don't believe it anymore. Before Shi Nai taught you, I didn't ask you."

"Hey." The grandson saw that he was exposed all at once, smiled embarrassingly, and then said seriously, "Shaobao said that he doesn't like those brooms that cherish themselves the most. If this knowledge can be passed on to the world, To be used by the world is what he expects in his heart."

At the end, Taisun couldn't help showing admiration on his face.

The sage also showed appreciation, nodded and said: "He has always been like this, but he is more respectable than those who say they are gentlemen."

Seeing his respected master being praised by the sage, the great-grandson and You Rongyan happily pulled the sage, "Come, grandpa, my grandson will teach you."

Then, he pointed to the symbols and told the sage which one was the semicolon, which one was the plus sign, which one was the division sign, and which one was the multiplication sign.Then, he talked about what Dao thought and calculated for him just now.

The sage has also learned arithmetic since he was a child. Although he has never studied it intensively, he can understand all the accounts of the household department.

He just didn't know what these symbols meant and how to use them before, but he didn't find it strange after he understood them.

It was the way of solving the problem that surprised the sage. He nodded in praise and said, "No wonder the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts are so clear. Shi Nai really has some skills."

Immediately, he thought that since Shi Nai joined the household department, he hadn't withheld half of the money for personal use from the household department, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit ache.

He added in his heart: It's just too picky.

Looking at the grandson who was elated and admiring at the mention of Shaobao, the saint shook his head secretly, thinking with pity: This child is still too young.When you ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, and then look at your Shaobao, you will know what it means to be human.

But now, let him be happy for a while longer.

******

Spring passed and autumn came, and in the blink of an eye, Shi Nai's eldest son, Sujie, was one year old.

The battle on the front line was relatively smooth, and Shi Nai personally supervised the food and grass in the rear. No matter whether it was the Ministry of Households or the Ministry of War, almost no one dared to make a difference with him.

Although it was inevitable to be exploited in the process of transportation layer by layer, as Shi Nai became more and more famous, generals at all levels had scruples, and they did not dare to go too far with the blood of soldiers.

And the army in Gyeonggi Camp where Shi Ding was located received the best care.

No way, who let someone have a powerful brother.

Not only was the war in northern Xinjiang going smoothly, but the memorials and letters sent back by Yan Jin showed that he was also doing well there.

He even got in touch with the caravan going out to sea in private, and had someone bring him a whole load of goods.

In Guangzhou, which is near the sea, the sea merchants are like the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, they are local snakes.The fact that Yan Jin can get these local snakes to help him bring goods is enough to show that he has established a firm foothold in Guangzhou.

In fact, Shi Nai had expected that he could stand firm so quickly.

Because Yanjin's arrival in Guangzhou was not to strengthen the imperial court's sea ban.It can be said that he did not have any conflicts with those sea merchants.

There are only two tasks for him, one is to buy salt from the salt fields and stockpile salt for future use; the other is to guard against the Qianxiang country overseas, and to collect information about the Qianxiang country.

The biggest reason for the court's ban on the sea is that Qianxiang Kingdom has become increasingly restless in recent years.But when the war in the north is over and Chaotang frees up his hands, he will definitely turn around and clean up this overseas island country.

Relatively speaking, Jia Jing, who went south to Jiangsu, made the slowest progress.

Although both Guangzhou and Jiangsu belong to the fat gap with sufficient oil and water, they do not agree that Guangzhou has a strong folk style and a simple power structure, but Jiangsu is much more complicated and troublesome.

Although Jia Jing has roots in the south of the Yangtze River and Lin Ruhai secretly helps him, this is the first time he has been sent on a foreign job, so he has to learn things slowly.In addition, the situation in Jiangnan is complicated and there are many factions. He has been there for more than a year before he can figure out a clue.

Fortunately, Jia Jing has nothing but patience.In addition, his behavior style is more inclined to Huang Lao, and the local officials have little resistance to him.

On this point, even the sage commented in a rare way: "Not bad, it's safe enough. It's different from his father's quick temper."

This day when he went to the Yamen, Shi Nai rejected the invitation of his colleagues as usual, but when he was about to go home, he was blocked by Xu Deng.

"Master Shi."

"Master Xu." Shi Nai returned the salute, and asked, "I don't know what you can do, Master Xu?"

When Xu Deng returned to Beijing to report on his duties, the saint originally wanted to send him to the Ministry of War.The thoughts in it are not enough for outsiders, and anyone with a discerning eye knows it well.

But later, unexpected events happened, and the sage changed his mind.

Coincidentally, at that time, the Minister of Dali Temple died of illness and was in office, so the saint ordered him to parachute to Dali Temple and become the Minister of Dali Temple.

What he has been doing in the local area is to mention punishments and judges. He is in charge of the judiciary, and he can be regarded as a professional counterpart when he enters the Dali Temple.Xu Deng took out an invitation card from his arms and handed it over, "My father's [-]th birthday will be in three days, and I would like to invite Mr. Shi to honor him."

"It turns out to be Old Hou Ye Xianshou." Shi Nai quickly took the invitation with both hands, "When that day comes, I will definitely go to pay my respects to Old Hou Ye."

"Then I will wait for Mr. Shi respectfully." Xu Deng didn't say much, and left after cupping his hands.

Shi Nai held the invitation card, thoughtful.

Both Xu Deng and him belong to the Prince-Party, and Xu Deng is the core diehard among them.After the prince left, Xu Deng actively contacted the former prince, a member of the party. Shi Nai knew exactly what it was for.

He was just afraid that the prince would go, and since the grandson was young, those people who were originally subject to the prince would have the idea of ​​oppressing the young master.

Earlier, the sage ordered Shi Nai to be the Prince's Taibao and taught the grandson to read. Xu Deng specially invited him to drink a meal, beating him openly and secretly, asking him not to forget the kindness of the prince.

From Shi Nai's point of view, he seemed to have lost his temper.

He jumped up and down to open his eyes for the grandson, what kind of position did he put himself in?

To put it bluntly, in his heart, he still regards himself as the prince's subject.When he looked at the grandson, he was always looking at the young master.

How is this different from bullying the young master?

This time, taking advantage of Old Hou Ye's birthday, Shi Nai decided to take this opportunity to order him a little.If he didn't listen to persuasion, Shi Nai wouldn't say much.

It's just that if he can't straighten his mind, the sage won't tolerate him for too long.

Shi Nai sighed slightly, put away the invitation, and walked out of the household office with his hands behind his back.

"Master." Seeing him coming out, Jin Bao led his horse to meet him.

Shi Nai took the reins and said with a smile, "Let's go, go home."

Mrs. Yan is taking the eldest girl Xiangyun to tease Sujie together. Xiangyun has been teaching Sujie to call her sister.It's just that this sound is relatively convoluted, and it's really difficult for a child who is only one year old.

"elder sister."

"Yeah."

"It's my sister!"

"Yeah."

Xiangyun's little face was flushed with anger, and he turned his head to sue Yan: "Auntie, look at brother!"

Yan's stomach ached from laughing early.

In this life, their family has no shortage of money, and the Yan family is not worried about Xiangyun's mother's dowry, and Shi Nai is stuck, not allowing Jia's mother to take Xiangyun to Jia's house. female love.

Shi Nai watched coldly, it is impossible for the Yan family to treat Xiangyun closer than his own.But ordinary people also value their sons more than their daughters.

Therefore, neither the servants of the family nor Xiangyun himself felt that there was anything wrong with Yan being more nervous about Su Jie.

In this regard, Shi Nai did not intervene.

Because, after all, Xiangyun was not born to their husband and wife.Even he himself, although he doesn't show it on the surface, still values ​​Sujie more than Xiangyun, so why should he ask Yan to treat him equally?

Of course, the system reminded Shi Nai that the two children should be treated equally.

However, after three months, the system changed its words again.

The reason is that after the system has evolved deeper into the first program, it has slowly penetrated into the customs of this world, and has a deeper understanding of human psychology.

The system corrected and said: "The host is right not to intervene, to avoid causing the rebellious psychology of the host's wife."

The author has something to say: As a treasure mother, I can tell everyone responsibly that there is a big difference in my heart between my own child and other people's children.

Even the children of the closest relatives are not as close as their own children.

When I say that my child is not good, that is humility.If someone else pointed at my baby and said it was bad, I would remember him for a long time in my heart.

This, I think, is normal.
