After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

When Shi Nai gave lectures to Taisun, his students changed from one to two.

Since he had read the mansion newspaper earlier, Shi Nai naturally knew that the eldest son of the third prince was reading with his grandson.But he did not disrupt the original lecture plan.

After the three teachers and students greeted each other, Shi Nai called two young eunuchs to help him unfold and hold up the map of the Eurasian continent he had drawn.

"Your Highness, Young Master, please take a look."

Taisun and Tu Bin had their gazes focused on the little eunuch as early as when the little eunuch unfolded the oversized scroll.

Tu Bin had never seen a map before, but thought the colorful lines on it were really pretty.

"It's a map." Taisun knew it, but he was quickly taken aback, "Shaobao, this doesn't seem to be Daxia's map."

Shi Nai pointed to one of them, "Big Xia is here."

"so small?"

The two little princes exclaimed at the same time.Among them, Taisun is because he has seen the Kanyu collected by the Ministry of War, while Tubin is purely because of the comparison between the part of Daxia and the whole picture.

Shi Nai said, "It's not that Da Xia is too small, but that this world is too big."

Tu Bin asked curiously, "Brother Taisun, what is this?"

Taisun glanced at Shi Nai, saw him nodding his head encouragingly, and said softly to Tu Bin, "This is called a map, and there are many in the Ministry of War, but none of them are as detailed as Shaobao's, nor are they as comprehensive as Shaobao's. There are many places."

"Wow!" Tu Bin exclaimed with his mouth open, and looked at Taisun adoringly, "Brother Taisun knows a lot!"

Being admired by his younger brother for the first time, the grandson was a little shy, but more proud, and immediately promised: "When school is over, I will take you to the Ministry of War to take a look at the map of my Great Xia."

"Mmm, yes." Tu Bin nodded repeatedly.

Shi Nai waited for their brothers to finish speaking before starting today's lesson.

This class was different from what Taisun had heard before. While leading the newly enrolled Tu Bin into a "wrong path", it also opened a new door for Taisun.

For the first time, Taisun knew that the world is so big.

"I really want to see Europe, where you can get a good harvest by sowing a handful of seeds." Taisun looked very yearning.

Shi Nai smiled very gently, but his words were ruthless, "Don't think about it, it's impossible."

Taisun's expression collapsed, "Shao Bao, can you speak less of this kind of truth."

Shi Nai said with a loyal face, "I am an honest person and will not tell lies."

But at this time, Tu Bin on the side comforted his elder brother grandson in a serious manner: "Brother grandson, don't worry, when I grow up, I will help elder brother grandson to visit Europe."

Taisun: "..."

——Although I was a little moved, it seemed to be more heart-wrenching, right?

Seeing Taisun's expression of lovelessness, Tu Bin didn't know why, "Brother Taisun, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Taisun wiped his face and smiled forcedly. You Bin'er is really sensible. "

Tu Bin smiled, with dimples on his cheeks, and said in a childish voice: "The mother concubine also said the same."

After being addicted to teasing the emperor's grandson, Shi Nai coughed lightly, and said, "Although the land in Europe is fertile, the living environment is horrible. I believe His Highness will not want to go after he understands it."

"Oh?" Taisun came to his senses, "The people over there are poor?"

"It's not about being poor, it's about that..." Shi Nai paused, and still used the simplest adjective, "...Dirty, very dirty, very dirty."

"How dirty is it?"

How dirty is it?

According to the data collected by the system, people in Europe today may not take a bath once in their lifetime.Defecation and defecation everywhere, garbage dumped everywhere, lice crawling under the gorgeous robes of the ladies, and rats may visit at night in the weird hair style...

When Shi Nai heard it for the first time, he almost threw up, let alone these two little grandchildren who have never seen the suffering of the people?

"vomit……"

"vomit……"

They were vomiting, and Shi Nai happened to take a break.

When they vomited enough, Taisun lied weakly on the table, and said to Shi Nai with a pale face: "I originally thought that the land in that place is so fertile, so I can send troops to occupy it. But... vomit ..."

Come on, after thinking about it for a while, this one vomited again.

then……

"vomit……"

Tu Bin vomited again after being taken by him.

Bo'er had already vomited up all the food in their stomachs just now, but this time it was just acid water.

Shi Nai laughed and said, "Does the grandson think that the common people over there are all ruthless and drink blood, and they are not educated?"

Taisun nodded repeatedly while rinsing his mouth.

Shi Nai said: "Since this is the case, Taisun has never thought about sending someone to educate him?"

"Huh?" Taisun paused, and turned his head in doubt.

Shi Nai said: "Our Great Xia is a state of etiquette, the head of all nations, we have the responsibility and obligation to educate the barbarians, let them understand etiquette, integrity, shame, cleanliness and clarity."

"That makes sense." Taisun nodded thoughtfully, but then hesitated, "It's just...are those scholars willing to go?"

Shi Nai smiled slightly and shook his head, "Scholars are weak, and it is really hard for them to cross the ocean alone."

For some reason, Taisun felt that his Shaobao's smile was a little subtle.Then, he intuitively knew that the key point in Shaobao's words was the word "alone".

"Then according to Shaobao's opinion, how should we act?"

Shi Nai said sternly: "Those scholars traveled westward for the enlightenment of the saints. The imperial court promotes enlightenment, so it is natural to send a large army to protect their safety. Those barbarians are ignorant of etiquette, arrogant and sturdy, so naturally they need to be deterred by force, so that they can practice enlightenment." thing."

Tu Bin was at a loss when he heard this, his face was full of bewilderment.

But Taisun is different.

Since the Taisun moved to the Qianqing Palace, he has studied government affairs with the saint.In the past two years, he followed the court and listened to politics.He quickly grasped the shameless truth in Shi Nai's righteous words.

However, he likes it.

"Taught!" Taisun cupped his hands, also with a serious face.

Just looking at the more upright expressions of the teacher and the student, those who don't know may think that Shi Nai said some epigrams.

The content of this lesson was passed on to the sage by the grandson.Taisun's intention is naturally to hope that the sage can make a difference.

However, the saint is old.Once a person is old, he is rarely aggressive anymore.

What the sage seeks is security.

Taisun was very disappointed, but not discouraged.

Because the sage did not forbid Shi Nai to tell him these things again, obviously he did not intend to interfere with his national policy after he ascended the throne in the future.

******

Winter goes to spring, and the shadow of the sun flies away.

As the battle reports from Northern Xinjiang were sent to the capital one after another, the battle situation became more and more obvious.When Shi Nai's eldest son, Su Jie, was three years old, and Shi Ding's eldest son, Qing Yang, was two years old, the prisoner offering team marched into the capital.

The sage Longxin was overjoyed, and ordered his grandson to bring all the officials to greet him on behalf of the emperor.

The leader of the prisoner offering team was Shi Guangzhu, the successor of Shan Guogong, a veteran son of honorable nobles.

This is an opportunity to show his face in front of the saint, but Shi Guangzhu is not very happy.

The general's merits are on the battlefield.

And credit on the battlefield has always been judged by the number of beheads.

He was singled out as a prisoner, and it seemed that he had a good opportunity to be remembered by the saint.However, when he really talked about his military exploits, those who are still chasing the remnants of Wala on the grasslands must have worked harder than him.

But there is no way, the old man's health has not been very good since the world was peaceful in their family, and the old man had only one son back then, so he was afraid that something would happen and the incense would be cut off.

Therefore, since then, no one from their family has been on the battlefield.However, Jingzhong Suwei has always been dominated by the Jia family's two mansions, and has never given the opportunity for Shan Guo's mansion to intervene.

Therefore, their family's connections in the army have long since withered.

On weekdays, he was fine, he fought bravely, bravely and strategically, and many lower-level generals admired him very much and were willing to go out with him.He was also complacent and complacent about it.

However, it was only at a critical moment that he realized that no matter how many low-level generals admire him, it is useless, because they have no decision-making power at all, not even the right to speak.

For example, when presenting prisoners this time, when selecting the team leader and general, no one dared to point them out, whether it was Wang Ziteng or Shi Ding.However, Shi Guangzhu has become "the favored one".

What the gods are waiting for!

Shi Guangzhu almost couldn't help swearing.

——He also wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue and earn another wave of credit, okay?

but……

Shi Guangzhu secretly smiled wryly.

— but he couldn't refuse.

Because among the people who recommended him, behind Shi Ding was Shi Nai, who was in the heart of the emperor, and behind Wang Ziteng was Ningrong Erfu.Even the coach, General Yuan Niu, expressed his optimism about him.

What else could he do?

When the war is over and the merit list is handed over, which one is in the front and which is in the back is just a matter of General Niu's writing.

Shi Nai supplied them with food and grass in the household department, and there was never a shortage. General Niu was grateful, and Shi Ding was naturally stable here.

And Wang Ziteng.

Although the Wang family and the Niu family have no friendship, General Niu and Jia Jing from Ningguo Mansion are close friends.Even for Jia Jing's sake, Wang Ziteng's place wouldn't be too ugly.

The other noble children also have their own support, but Shi Guangzhu is the only one who has the ability.

Seeing that the capital was close in front of him, Shi Guangzhu hurriedly collected his mood, and entered the city first with a solemn expression.

The presence of Bai surnamed on both sides really made people's blood boil, and Shi Guangzhu's heart calmed down a little.He didn't really get excited until he learned that his grandson was welcoming him in person.

"Chen Shenjiying and Zhi Shi Guangzhu pay homage to Taisun. Taisun please forgive me for not being able to perform the full ceremony because of armor."

"Shi Tongzhi is exempt from courtesy. All the soldiers are also exempt from courtesy. All the officers and men were born and died for my Great Xia, so it is only right to salute all the officers and men. Everyone, please accept the solitary obeisance."

It is naturally impossible for the grandson to travel alone.Shi Nai was following Taisun right now.

He looked at Taisun's behavior with cold eyes, feeling a little relieved, but also a little disappointed.

——Tai Sun has already possessed the most basic qualities of a political task, and has slowly learned how to be a superior person and a qualified monarch from the saints.

The days when their mentors and apprentices get to know each other will eventually drift away and gradually become monarchs and ministers.

But in today's Great Xia, there is no doubt that the grandson needs to grow up quickly.

Because saints are really not young anymore, and since ancient times, few people who have been emperors have lived long.Many courtiers are secretly worried that the saint will die before the grandson grows up.

Of course, there are also countless careerists looking forward to the early death of the saint, so that they can stir up trouble.

Taisun's salutation made many soldiers weep with excitement.Those people didn't wear armor, and many soldiers who had just got up at that time knelt down again and said repeatedly: "You mustn't do it!"

Taisun's political show was undoubtedly a success.

After the prisoner presentation ceremony was over, the sage praised Taisun after learning about Taisun's performance, and gave him some pointers on the basis of Taisun, asking him to make persistent efforts.

******

After the prisoner presenting ceremony, it took another half a year before the war in northern Xinjiang was completely over.

In this life, although there is no Shi Nai to put his military exploits on Shi Ding, because Shi Nai controls the grain and grass in the household department, Shi Ding has more opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

Therefore, Shi Ding was still granted the title of Marquis of Zhongjing when it was finally time to reward his meritorious deeds.

Although it is only a hereditary third-class marquis, it can be passed on for several generations.Not only Shi Ding was satisfied, Ma Shi was also very happy.

After receiving the banquet in the palace, Shi Nai was considerate of the husband and wife who hadn't seen each other for many years, so he asked him to go back to his home first, and then go to Baolinghou's mansion the next day, where the two brothers catch up.

Mrs. Ma has prepared pomelo leaves in fire pots and is waiting.

After Shi Ding broke down the brazier and entered the house, and washed away all the dust, he saw Mrs. Ma with a pair of children looking at him with a smile.

After several years of wandering in the army, Shi Ding suddenly returned to this kind of life of wives and children, Shi Ding only felt comfortable physically and mentally.

He stepped forward and grabbed Ma Shi's hand, and said softly: "These years, you have worked hard, madam."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work." Madam Ma shed tears, "As long as the master can come back safely, the concubine will not have to work hard."

"Okay, finally our family is reunited, don't cry, madam, let the children watch the joke."

Madam Ma looked down, and sure enough, she saw her children staring at her curiously.

She blushed with embarrassment, and pinched Shi Ding's waist.

Shi Ding laughed loudly, picked up his son in one hand, and his daughter in the other, and kissed on the left side and on the right side.

"Does the second girl still recognize me?"

"I recognize it." The second girl tilted her head and said clearly, "You are the father." She stretched out her tender hand and stroked Shi Ding's beard, "Master's beard has grown longer."

Shi Ding was so happy that he couldn't stop laughing, then turned around and asked Ma Shi, "Is this our son?"

"Exactly. Born in March, my uncle named him Qingyang."

"Brother's name is naturally good."

Shi Ding didn't read much, and most of them were military books, so he didn't know much about allusions.

Therefore, what he is most afraid of is naming people.

"Qingyang, come, call Dad."

Qingyang opened a pair of round almond eyes, looked at him curiously, but didn't speak.

Ma said with a smile, "My son doesn't recognize you yet."

Shi Ding said: "It's okay, it will be fine after a while."

A family of four was having a family talk together, when there was a sudden noise in the yard.

Shi Ding frowned, and said to Hu Sanjia, "Go and see, what's going on?"

The members of the Hu San's family heard a few words such as "master", "children" and "madam is cruel", and guessed that it must be Aunt Chen who made the disturbance.

Aunt Chen was the roommate who was pregnant with Mrs. Ma.It's just that she herself was unlucky, and the child was not kept. In order to appease her, Mrs. Ma gave her the title of aunt.

Only Aunt Chen was provoked by others, and she believed that Mrs. Ma did not want her to see that she was pregnant with her front and back legs, so that she harmed her fetus.

Ma Shi, a wife of the main house, would she lower her status and argue with a concubine?

She didn't care at all, as soon as Aunt Chen acted like a monster, she was grounded directly.I just don't know, how could Aunt Chen happen to make such a fuss today?

But it is said that Hu San's family got the order, and when they left the main room, they saw Aunt Chen chatting with two women at the arch of hanging flowers.

She stepped forward with a stern face, and said, "How decent is it?"

Everyone was startled, the two women let go of their hands quickly, and Aunt Chen suddenly lost weight, and couldn't help but staggered.

"Aunt Chen, what are your rules? How dare you play wild in your wife's yard." Hu Sanjia scolded with a straight face.

Aunt Chen's face turned pale, obviously remembering how powerful Mrs. Ma was.

But soon, she regained her composure, bypassing Hu San's house and going inside.

"I want to see the master, I want to let the master decide for me!"

Then she yelled again: "Master, sir, you must decide for our poor child. Master, madam is so cruel, that is a boy in shape."

Hu San's family hurriedly said: "Hurry up, grab her, don't let her disturb the interest of the master and wife."

The two women hurried forward and held Aunt Chen down.

But Shi Ding and Ma Shi had already been alarmed.

"What's going on?" Shi Ding's rough voice echoed in the courtyard.

"Master, master, you have to decide for me." Aunt Chen was overjoyed and struggled hard, "You two old bastards, let me go!"

She considers herself to be half the master, and with the presence of the master, the two wives should have some scruples.

But she forgot that these two belonged to the wife's yard, so naturally they listened to the wife.

I only heard Ma Shi say: "Gag her mouth."

Then, one of the women took out a handkerchief that smelled of sweat from her sleeve pocket, and stuffed it into Aunt Chen's mouth.

"Hmm..." Aunt Chen couldn't speak anymore.

Mrs. Ma said: "The concubine was about to talk to the master. Not long after the master left, Mrs. Chen was also diagnosed with a pregnancy. It's just that she was cautious and suspicious all day long, and lost her own fetus. "

"Uuuuuuu..."

Mrs. Chen shook her head desperately, wanting to say: No, it was my wife who hurt my child.

However, her mouth was tightly blocked and she couldn't speak a word.

Shi Ding frowned, glanced at Aunt Chen, and said to Hu Sanjia: "Take her down."

——In any case, he absolutely does not allow concubines to provoke the main wife.

He is a general, and he will spend most of his time in the barracks in the future, and Ma Shi will take care of everything in the family.If the concubines are dishonest, not only Ma Shi will be troubled, but it will also be of no benefit to them.

As for the unfavorable child, he will let people investigate secretly.

"Master." Mrs. Ma looked at Shi Ding with some anxiety.

Shi Ding smiled at her and said, "I think Qingyang is sleepy, let's go back."

Marshall laughed.
