Tao Bao's Ancient Happy Life

On March [-]th of the third year of Tianyao, on the ninth day of February in the lunar calendar, Tianyao's first Spring Festival began, and the whole capital was in a state of excitement. The exam not only tests your academics but also your real ability to do things. If you are the first in your academics but fail in your ability, the imperial court will not hire you. That is to say, the imperial court will use people with excellent academics and abilities. .

This rule makes those nerds stupid all of a sudden, but those who are really capable are happy. Although there are some people who gossip behind their backs, this year's law is like this. If you don't agree, you don't have to take the exam. Go home and practice your ability to do things well. Come on.

Tao Bao knew that this rule would cause an uproar, but he didn't have the time to worry about it. He stayed in Lanxuan in Tao's mansion honestly, and taught a few children to read and write when he was free. Now he is a The husband of five children, including Song Qingyu, the son of Song Zishan who is only three years old.

This kid Song Qingyu is a miniature version of his father, and also a chatterbox. When he is free, he always pesters Tao Zixuan to ask this and that. In the end, Jing Sheng couldn't stand it any longer, so he would throw him to the old man. Seven-year-old Li Chaoran asked him to answer the chattering Song Qingyu's questions.

In fact, Song Qingyu didn't ask any random questions, but the child couldn't help but asked those questions over and over again, like: "Brother, you are so pretty?" "Brother, how old are you?" "Brother, can you write?" Can you?" "Brother, can you tell stories?". . . . . .

In the end, even Li Chaoran couldn't take it anymore, so he handed him over to Li Chaofan directly. Li Chaofan is really not good at studying, but there is one thing that this kid is very good at, that is, he never complains about practicing martial arts. See you today When Li Chaoran threw Song Qingyu to him again, he simply forced the child to squat with him, or beat him up.

The little girl Song Qingyu was about to grin and cry when she was frightened by Li Chaofan who raised his fist, and swallowed back the sound of howling, and had to squat with Li Chaofan sadly.

When Tao Bao came out of the house, he saw the daily chatter squatting tremblingly, and almost lost his joy. It seems that a mountain is higher than a mountain. Let's see if this reflects out?Li Chaofan's force solution is still good.

Tao Bao was also afraid that the child would be exhausted, so he blew the bamboo whistle. This was specially prepared by him, and he also adopted the model of kindergarten when he was a child. For 10 minutes, I am afraid that the child will not be able to sit still, and he also teaches according to the characteristics of each child, like Tao Zixuan and Li Chaoran, he will talk more, while Li Chaofan and Jing Sheng will talk less , Song Qingyu is directly handled by the small class, leading him to play with a word, inserting some word recognition links in the middle, because the child is smart, so he slowly catches up.

When Tao Bao was explaining multiplication to Zixuan and Li Chaoran that day, he heard two children, Li Chaofan and Jing Sheng, who were doing their homework there, talking in a low voice. They didn't know what they were talking about, so Tao Bao let go Then let the two children, Li Chaoran and Zixuan, preview the book.

He walked up to Jing Sheng and said, "Jing Sheng, do you have any doubts?"

When Jing Sheng heard this, he waved his hands hurriedly and said, "There is no godfather. It was Chaofan who said today that he saw a few servants saying that he was going to fight something. I was asking him what kind of war he was fighting?"

Tao Bao frowned, "War, what war? Explain clearly?"

Li Chaofan shrank his neck in shock from Tao Bao's words. He stood up with his back straight, and said loudly, "Mr. Report, yesterday my father and grandpas said that the imperial court will change the rules of military training this time and learn from Beizhen." Fusi's approach is to have a big contest, and whoever loses will change the general or something, and my father didn't say anything when he saw me, and kicked me out of the study and let me play."

Tao Bao and the younger ones were all overjoyed after hearing this. Tao Bao was pleased that Li Xiangwu's discipline method was too direct, while the younger ones were somewhat gloating because Li Chaofan was beaten again.

Tao Bao saw that the time was almost up, so he asked them to pack their things and put them in their schoolbags, and asked them to stand outside in a row. They wash their hands, and then eat a snack together.

During this period, he went to Lan Xuan's small study with a plate of snacks, and now Huo Jianhui also came back to accompany him every day, thinking that Tao Bao was almost four months pregnant, and he was always thinking about it. After he moved in this time, He even took old man Li with him on purpose, fearing that he might have something, Tao Bao didn't care, but Tao Ruilin and Lan Xi were moved, and the little estrangement towards Huo Jianhui in their hearts was lessened.

Huo Jianhui also understood, but he didn't say it. He knew that the Huo family owed the Tao family, and he had to bear the complaint.Seeing Tao Bao come in, he put down the pen in his hand and said, "Be careful, I will leave it to the servants to do these things in the future. You see, your stomach is tired from walking back and forth." Then he stood up and took his hand. With the tray in his hand, he put the person on his lap and kissed him at the corner of his mouth.

Tao Bao pushed him, "Be careful and let the children see it, you are already a father, by the way, what are you busy with?"

Huo Jianhui put his arms around Tao Bao, picked up the battle report in his hand and said: "I have discussed with some old guys from the Ministry of War in the past few days. Our Tianyao has never had a martial arts competition since the founding of the country. When the time comes, it depends on which one is better, and those who win will be rewarded, and those who lose will be punished."

Tao Bao heard: "You are talking about the whole army contest, right?"

Huo Jianhui nodded: "That's almost what it means. Military generals are good at martial arts, they are more talkative than civil servants, and they don't hold grudges when they lose, unlike civil servants who think of ways to play tricks and think about revenge."

Tao Bao touched his chin back and forth after he got off the ground and thought about it: "I think so, let's talk to Emperor Father tomorrow, how about a martial arts competition between civil servants and military generals?"

"What do you mean?" Huo Jianhui didn't understand, but if the gang of Wenchen were to compete with generals, they would beat one of them to death.

Tao Bao laughed when he heard this: "Brother Hui, you are wrong. What I mean is, don't just sit around when the military generals compete, and the civil servants also need to be assessed. Just let them exchange the six parts and see who's in charge when the time comes." The butt is clean, if it is not clean, wait to collect the body for yourself, spit out what you eat, and return what you take, you must not let these moths get cheap.

As for generals, set rules for them. They are all guards of a certain place. Not only do they have to compete in martial arts, but they also have to conduct military assessments. Those who win will go to places with good conditions, and those who lose will go to places with difficult conditions, and this kind of competition will be held every two or three years. If you are a human being, you will use your breastfeeding strength to deal with this competition well.

And the most important thing is to let the civil official group also see that they are not the only ones who want to compare, and the military generals are not behind, so that they have nothing to say, so that they can block their mouths. If they don't want to, it means his With a ghost in his heart, he immediately took off his black hat and made room for good people. Anyway, the future ministers will be evaluated based on their performance. If their performance is not good, they will make room for capable people. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice behind him: "Okay, well said, she is indeed my good daughter-in-law, and marrying your Huo family really burned the incense in her previous life."

Tao Bao was taken aback. When he turned around, he saw a few people standing behind him. He didn't know how long they had been standing. Among them were Huo Xiaotian, Empress Li, Tao Ruilin, Li Baoqing and Li Xiangwen, who were the loudest. Brother Li Xiangwu, even Zhang Xiangguo, who has always been at odds with Tao Bao, is also on the list. What's the situation?

Huo Jianhui saw several people coming in and hurried over to pay respects, mainly because Huo Jianhui and his wife were here, he didn't care about others, and Tao Bao also came over, but he wanted to kneel down with his stomach full, but was stopped by Queen Li: "You This child has such a big belly, why kneel, I will make the decision in the future, don't kneel when you meet anyone, or you will be tired."

After Tao Bao heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Father and Queen."

At this time, a few children outside ran over to see Tao Bao after finishing their snacks. When they saw a large group of people, they greeted everyone in a proper manner, especially Zixuan who was the most polite.

Huo Xiaotian was very happy, seeing that his grandson was the best, no one else would fail, Zixuan lived up to everyone's expectations, kissed Huo Xiaotian's face and said, "Grandpa, why have you lost weight?"

Huo Xiaotian looked at his slightly fat body, and said with a smile: "Your grandpa, you are not thin at all, but I think you have gained a few catties."

Tao Zixuan pursed her lips and said, "It's a lie, Grandpa Huang used to have a fleshy chin with two layers, but now there is only one layer left. Zixuan feels distressed just looking at it."

Others didn't know what Tao Zixuan said really felt sorry for the emperor, but Tao Bao glanced at Huo Jianhui or stared at him, and said in his heart: "Isn't this what Huo Jianhui said to him yesterday? Today this child used Huo Xiaotian It seems that this was heard by the child yesterday when the couple was lying there, and it seems that they will have to carry the child behind their backs in the future."

Huo Xiaotian didn't know that what the child said was just learning and selling, so he said with a smile: "It's better to be more energetic if you lose weight, and you don't want to become a little fat man, that's not good for practicing martial arts."

Tao Zixuan nodded seriously and said, "Okay, but it doesn't matter if you lose weight, just like my little dad didn't go up the wall when he practiced climbing the wall!"

Tao Bao patted his forehead: "I said son, you should save some face for your little dad. Didn't I want to practice martial arts to strengthen my body at the beginning? Who knows that your little dad and I are not made of that material. Now Until you took it out as a joke and said it, you little villain, see if I won't deal with you in a while."

Facing the interaction between the father and the father, everyone in the yard laughed. At this time, Huo Xiaotian put down Tao Zixuan and said, "What have you guys taught you these few days?"

Before Tao Zixuan could speak, Song Qingyu came over and put his arms around Huo Xiaotian's thigh and said, "Grandpa, I have practiced martial arts with Brother Chaofan."

When Huo Xiaotian saw that it was Song Zishan's son, he smiled and said, "What kind of martial arts have you practiced?"

Song Qingyu scratched her head, and then she walked up to the big guy without fear of being surprised, and after taking a standard horse stance, she stopped moving.

Even Song Zishan, who just came in, saw his son squatting there, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, Brother Bao, it's only been a few days, so you're going to be sad." My son can squat."

Tao Bao coughed and said: "Don't get me wrong, it's Chaofan's credit. Your son is too young and too noisy. These children really couldn't do anything with him, so they handed him over to Chaofan. It turned out that Chaofan was really good. Put this kid under control."

Song Zishan and the people present looked at Li Chaofan together. Li Chaofan was not big, so he straightened his back immediately: "It's true that brother Qingyu is too noisy, and my aunt is too tired. We need to help take care of my brother."

Tao Bao was helpless, the child was hopeless, every time he had to tell him not to call himself Auntie, it would be impossible to change it now.

Song Zishan saw Tao Bao and then Huo Jianhui, and couldn't help laughing, "Auntie?"

The angry Tao Bao almost took off his shoes and whipped him, so he just took his son's slingshot placed by the door and pointed it at his big mouth to make him talk too much.

Song Zishan was not a vegetarian either, when he saw a hidden weapon flying towards him, he turned his head to hide and ran to Huo Xiaotian's side: "Uncle Huang, you have to make the decision for me, don't bring such a bully, beat people if you can't justify it. "

Empress Li blocked it with a handkerchief: "You always tease him with this, it's no wonder he doesn't clean up you!"

In the end, Tao Bao didn't put down the slingshot, but he didn't mess around either. He probably let Song Zishan go because he was afraid of what the people present would say. Zhang Xiangguo suddenly said, "I want to talk to you tomorrow."

Tao Bao nodded: "OK."

. . . . . .

In the afternoon of the next day, Tao Bao came to the teahouse that he and Zhang Xiangguo had booked in advance. In the box of the teahouse, the two of them did not know what they said, but when they left, their faces were very happy.

And the attendants waiting outside were quite surprised. In the past, these two people were not easy to deal with. It would be good if they met each other without cutting each other with knives. Now they leave talking and laughing. Is this really okay?
