After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

On the day of Jingsuihou's birthday, Shi Nai endured to the end and left Jingsuihou's mansion full of anger.

The first general, Mo Mo, came up to make peace: "Brother Nai, Brother Nai, and Brother Deng are also loyal, so don't argue with him."

Shi Nai took a breath, stopped in his tracks, and said to Shi Mo: "If I argue with him, I won't drink the wine until the end."

"Brother Nai is generous."

Shi Nai choked on his flattering smile, and was quite speechless: I was reminding him with good intentions, and my words were not violent.How come in the end, I still can't care about his rudeness?

But he really didn't want to argue with Shi Mo, so he changed the subject altogether, "I heard that Shi Mou, your brother also went to northern Xinjiang this time?"

"Yes, I went with Shenji Camp." When mentioning his son, Shi Mo immediately forgot Xu Deng.Well, their relationship wasn't very good.The reason why he made peace was because he had always been a good guy.

Shi Nai glanced at him, and understood: It seems that he is just a personal design as a good old man.It's just that this person has set it up for a long time, and it will be difficult to pick it off.

Shi Mo didn't know that Shi Nai was complaining about him in his heart. He thought that Shi Nai must have news from the front line because Shi Nai is now in charge of the food and grass on the front line.

The Shi family is the descendant of Duke Shu.Shan Guogong is also a hereditary duke, and the title has been passed down to Shi Mo's generation, leaving only first-class generals.

Shi Shi himself was deliberately raised by the previous generation to be a dandy, and he has no skills.But for his son Shi Guangzhu, he paid a lot of money to hire a famous teacher and taught him carefully since he was a child.

It's a pity that Shi Guangzhu doesn't have much talent in reading, but he is quite accomplished in military strategy, swords, spears, swords and halberds.

Shi Mo is worried.

——Why did his father raise him on a dude?

Isn't it because the world is peaceful and there is no more wars, so these nobles should be quiet for a while, so as to reassure the higher authorities?

Even with his generation of dandies, the Shi family has been silent for decades, and they are no longer feared by the higher ups.

However, in this peaceful and prosperous age, no matter how good you are at learning martial arts, what's the use?

Be a military officer, and then be suppressed by civilian officials for a lifetime?

Not to mention, once there is no battle, the promotion of the military officer will be slow, and it has nothing to do with the military, and it will never be possible to get ahead.

But no matter how worried, I have to let my son learn it.

My son can't read well, so he won't let him learn martial arts.Could it be that, like him, he should be a dandy who will be looked down on all his life?

Fortunately, God has eyes, after Shi Guangzhu finished his studies, Wala in the north began to be restless.Shi Mo almost cried with joy.

——My son's suffering for so many years is finally not in vain.

But after Shi Guangzhu really went north with the army, Shi Mo's family began to worry and fear again, fearing that one day they would receive bad news and their son Ma Ge would be shrouded in corpses.

Therefore, if he had the opportunity today, he would naturally ask about it.

Shi Nai can understand Shi Mo's thoughts very well.It was himself, Shi Ding had made great contributions in his previous life and returned safely, but he was still worried about doing it all over again.

Because on the battlefield, the sword really has no eyes.

But Shi Nai couldn't express his true thoughts in the face of Shi Mo who was worried and anxious.

Because it is too cruel to judge others by yourself.

"General Shi doesn't need to worry, the frontline battle is going smoothly, and there is no news of the casualties of Xungui's children."

Shi Shi let out a long sigh of relief, and cupped his hands gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Shi."

Shi Nai forced a smile, "Shi Mou still has something to do at home, so I'll take my leave first."

"Master Shi, go slowly."

In fact, Shi Mo wanted to ask a little more about the front line, but he didn't dare to stop Shi Nai, so he had to watch him leave helplessly.

At this time, those who came out later also caught up.Someone asked, "What did you talk to Mr. Shi about?"

"It's nothing." Shi Mo was a little absent-minded, "I just asked about northern Xinjiang."

The man expressed his understanding, and comforted him: "I know your son's ability, and he will definitely make great contributions and come back."

"Lend your blessings."

Others whose children went to the battlefield were also worried, and asked Mo Mo what Shi Nai said.Those whose families have not gone to the north are all talking to appease them.

Shi Mo repeated Shi Nai's words, and those people breathed a sigh of relief.

——Anyone whose sons and daughters went to the battlefield were of honorable origin.Xu Deng didn't invite those ordinary military officers at all.

Everyone chatted for a while, and someone suddenly asked: "What do you think, Mr. Shi's words..."

The scene was immediately silent.

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

But after all, this is the gate of Jingsuihou Mansion, this topic, no matter what they think in their hearts, is not good to discuss here.

"Everyone, why don't you go to Taibai Tower and have another drink?"

Some people responded to this proposal, but some people said goodbye.

But no matter what, they didn't stay any longer, and the crowd quickly dispersed.

******

"Everyone is gone?"

Holding the tea bowl, Xu Deng asked the servants in the hall nonchalantly.If it is ignored that he hasn't had a sip for a long time, then he is really calm and has no grievances.

The young man seemed to have sensed the tense atmosphere in the main hall, buried his head low, and replied: "Yes, all the guests have left."

"Heh." Xu Deng chuckled, and cursed in a low voice, "A bunch of idiots!"

Although his voice was low, Second Master Xu, who was sitting across from him, could clearly sense his suppressed anger.

Xu Erye waved to the boy and said, "You don't need to serve here, go down."

"Yes." The boy hurriedly retreated as if he had been pardoned.

Xu Erye raised his head and glanced at his father, Jingsuihou, who was sitting at the top, but he saw that Jingsuihou was dozing slightly, and put a polished cricket pot to his ear with a look of intoxication, and the cricket "squeaked" "The cry came out from time to time, echoing in this elegantly decorated main hall.

It seems that my father is hopeless.

Second Master Xu sighed secretly, turned his head, and called out to Xu Deng, "Brother."

Xu Deng raised his head to look at him, the anger in his eyes hadn't had time to subside, which made Second Master Xu's heart skip a beat, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he didn't dare to speak out for a long time.

Xu Deng took a deep breath, suppressed the burning anger in his heart, and asked Second Master Xu in a peaceful voice: "What's wrong?"

Second Master Xu collected himself, and then carefully said: "Brother, I think Mr. Shi also has good intentions..."

"Shut up!" Xu Deng sternly shouted, and asked, "Why, even you want to betray His Highness?"

"I...I..." Xu Erye was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

He was originally from a concubine, and since he was a child, he has never been favored by his family compared to his elder brother from a concubine.When he grew up, Marquis Jingsui never thought of helping him find a future.

It was when he was about to say goodbye, the aunt thought it was not good looking, so she asked the aunt to find him a job as a guard of honor.

To put it bluntly, it's just a casual job, and it's just that when you say goodbye to him, the two parties look good.

Therefore, he has always respected and feared this big brother.

And the eldest brother is indeed excellent, he was valued by the prince when he was young, and he has made great progress all the way, but he was only in his thirties, and he was appointed as a procurator.

That's a third-rank member.Third-rank officials can also walk sideways in the capital, let alone in places?

Now he is the Minister of Dali Temple, a third-rank Beijing official who is serious about the Eight Classics.

It's just that since the crown prince passed away, this elder brother who has always been measured has been a bit refuted in his actions.

As Mr. Shi said, in the final analysis, the grandson is the master and the king.And no matter how hard they worked, they were still ministers.

Since you are a minister, you must understand your duty as a minister, and don't overstep it.

But these words fell into Xu Deng's ears, but it was Shi Nai who relied on himself to gain the trust of the grandson and warned him that he wanted to control the power of the prince-party by himself.

Xu Deng said angrily: "Now that the grandson is young, I will wait for the old ministers of the East Palace to take care of him, and it is inevitable that the young master will be fooled."

Xu Erye thought to himself: Now the grandson is the East Palace, how can you still regard the old prince as the East Palace?Also, Mr. Shi said that the grandson is our master, not the young master.

But he didn't dare to say these words.Xu Deng didn't dare to do anything to Shi Nai, but he was not polite to his younger brother.

Therefore, he could only retort weakly, "Master Shi is not the kind of treacherous person who kidnaps the young master."

"I know he's not." Xu Deng said, "But he is a gentleman who seeks the truth in his music. He judges others by himself, and thinks that everyone will be like him, respecting the young master, and not having two hearts."

He suddenly sneered, "How can there be so many gentlemen in this world?"

"Okay, you two stop arguing." Jing Suihou, who sat on the head, finally spoke, with a look of boredom and fatigue, "What's the matter, you go to the study and talk, don't scare my crickets .”

The two brothers are already used to their father's incomprehension.They got up tacitly to leave and left the main hall.

"Go back," Xu Deng paused at the door, and said to Xu Erye, "Don't think about those things you shouldn't have."

"Yes, big brother." Second Master Xu agreed, not daring to say more.

******

Shi Nai had expected Xu Deng's ignorance of good and bad.

Thus, after the initial anger, he quickly calmed down.

——With the time to be angry, he might as well go back early and compile more teaching materials for his grandson.

In his view, the current situation is very clear, and it is better to train the grandson if he wins over and consolidates any prince-party.

As long as the grandson stands on his own, the officials will naturally attach themselves.At that time, the party or something will become a hindrance instead.

Do it when you think of it.

With the current progress of Taisun, the mathematics he has learned is enough for him to use in the future.After all, the most important thing for him in the future is to govern the country, not to study calculus. It is enough to let the people below him not be confused, and there is no need to learn so advanced.

"System Immortal."

"The host has something to say, please."

"Can I exchange energy for an "Introduction to Psychology"?"

Over the years, he has been loyal to his duty and worked for the well-being of the people.Coupled with the destruction of the plot, the merits gained by zero and zero are also quite a lot.And the conversion of these merits into energy is enough to restore most of the system.

This progress has greatly exceeded the system's expectations.

Therefore, the system readily agreed to his request and gave him a copy of "Interpretation of Micro-expression".

Shi Nai held the two books, smiled with satisfaction, and decided to study them carefully before re-editing them and passing them on to his grandson.

However, after Shi Nai really read the two books through, he completely changed his mind.

——He felt that as a courtier, he should be honest and teach his grandson what he is good at in arithmetic.As for controlling people's hearts, and even the emperor's mind skills, there are sages to teach him, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

It was also because he was led astray by Xu Deng earlier, so he ignored the emperor's suspicion for a while.

The reason why the sage is at ease with him is because of his own actions, which make the sage think that he is a gentleman who does everything he can, doing something and not doing something.

If he really overestimated himself, let Taisun learn from him how to see through and control people's hearts...

Ha ha.

I'm afraid, not only will the sage no longer trust him, but he will get rid of him quickly.

Fortunately, fortunately, he didn't read "Introduction to Psychology" in vain this time, and he finally cleared up his dizzy mind.

He closed the book, preparing to study it in detail in the future and pass it on to his descendants.

As for Taisun's homework...

"System Immortal, do you have a world map of our era?"

He deliberately added "our time".

After all, the movement of the earth's crust is also the common sense of later generations.

"Have."

As soon as the system's voice fell, a map was transmitted to his mind.

"This is a mission item that comes with the system, and it doesn't need to consume energy."

Shi Nai was overjoyed.

——If there are many grandchildren in the future, they can be assigned to expand the territory.Why do you have to be like a saint's prince, trying your best on this one-acre three-point land in the Central Plains?

******

"Ah!"

The grandson, who was practicing calligraphy, sneezed suddenly, and the homework that had already written more than half a sheet was immediately ruined by a stroke of God.

"Ouch!"

The little eunuch Wang Xi'er who was waiting on the side yelled out regretfully.

Taisun rubbed his nose in doubt, and muttered: "It's strange, who is thinking about Gu?"

The sage who was reading raised his head, frowned and asked, "But did you catch a cold?"

"No." Taisun immediately denied, "Someone must be thinking about me."

The sage laughed and said, "You have studied with Shi Nai for a year, but you haven't improved your other knowledge, so your face is getting thicker and thicker."

Then, he worriedly told Dai Quan, "Go, call Doctor Hu."

Physician Hu specializes in pediatrics, and on weekdays, he travels around various palaces, treating the young masters of various palaces, and is not very popular in the palace.

But his achievements in pediatrics are obvious to all.

As soon as he heard that the sage summoned him to treat the grandson, Imperial Physician Hu didn't dare to delay at all. He picked up the medicine box, filled a few pills commonly used by the grandson at his age, and followed the little eunuch who came to summon him.

Taisun was still trying to protest that he was really fine, and the doctor Hu arrived, and his face couldn't help but collapsed.

Probably because the imperial doctor in the palace is used to prescribing Taiping.Even if he is not sick, as long as the imperial doctor is summoned, he must drink medicine.

No matter how sensible the grandson is, he is just a child in a bun, and it is only natural that he does not like to drink medicine.

Doctor Hu did not know how many young masters had been treated, but when he saw the grandson's face, he understood what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

——No matter how noble the status is, the grandson is still a child.

Speaking of which, this was the first time that Imperial Doctor Hu had treated Taisun.

In the past, the great-grandson had a headache, and he used Huang Yuyi, who was used by the saints.

However, Doctor Huang is getting old and retired a few days ago.However, another imperial doctor He who treated the saint was not good at pediatrics.

Therefore, the saint ordered Hu Yuyi, who specializes in pediatrics.

"Please grandson Yunchen ask for pulse for grandson." Imperial doctor Hu took out the medicine pillow that he carried with him.

Although Taisun was reluctant, he also knew that since the sage had spoken, there was absolutely no room for change.He had no choice but to stretch out his hand and ask Yu Yu doctor to listen to his pulse.

Doctor Hu examined both hands, then said gently: "The grandson's body is fine."

Then, there is no text.

The grandson gave a secret "Yi", and immediately felt that this imperial physician Hu was different from other imperial physicians.In Shaobao's words, it means pure and unaffected.

—He didn't even mention the prescription.

However, the fact that Imperial Physician Hu didn't mention it doesn't mean that the saint didn't mention it either.

Seeing that the sage frowned slightly, he asked worriedly: "Should I prescribe a prescription and recuperate?"

The little joy that had just risen in Taisun's heart disappeared instantly, leaving only one thought:

——Sure enough, what should come will always come!

But the next moment, I heard Hu Yu said: "The medicine is three-point poisonous. The grandson is in good health, so there is no need to take medicine."

Seeing that the sage was still worried, Doctor Hu took out a palm-high blue-and-white porcelain bottle from the medicine box, "It contains some pills for strengthening the body. The grandson left them. If you want to eat, you can take a few pills. It doesn't matter."

The sage then nodded and said, "Then keep the medicine."

"The minister will leave."

Under Taisun's stare, Doctor Hu took the medicine and left.

——Qi Gu thought you could withstand the pressure of the sage and avoid Gu's medicine.

Now that this medicine has been prescribed, although Yu Yu doctor said, you can take it or not.But according to the sage's usual nervousness towards the grandson, without the sage saying much, Wang Xi'er consciously mixed warm water, poured out the pills, and asked the grandson to take the medicine.

Taisun reluctantly picked up a brown pill and stuffed it into his mouth, but the next moment he couldn't help but let out a "huh" in surprise, "Sweet!"

The sage said: "Since it's sweet, you should obediently take it on time."

"Yeah." Taisun nodded again and again, smiling with crooked eyebrows.

He once again felt that Hu Yuyi was different from others, pure and unaffected.

Seeing that he had taken the medicine, the sage said, "Go and lie down for a while, it's the same when you do your homework in the afternoon."

On this point, the sage was much more lenient to the grandson than he was to the prince back then.

When the prince was still young, he never skipped a single homework due to illness.The saint is strict with him, and he is even stricter with himself.

But now when facing his grandson, the sage may be getting older, or maybe it is the prince's untimely death that has made him grieve so far. His heart has softened and contradicted a lot.

On the one hand, he knew that he should be stricter with his grandson, because he might not wait for him to reach adulthood, so he would go away; .

Today, the grandson was ill, so that soft heart quickly gained the upper hand, let him not worry about his homework, and let him take care of his body first.
