The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

Lu Buwei thought about those mischievous young gentlemen he met in Zhao Guo, and then thought about this on his shoulder, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

How can a boy not be naughty? As the eldest brother, Lu Buwei, who has taken care of several younger brothers, knows this better than anyone else. It is not because of nature that his children are so well-behaved, it is entirely because of the living environment.

On the one hand, my father is cautious, and on the other hand, it has something to do with the recent frequent guests and the environment.Lu Buwei's heart moved, and he made up his mind.

Ten days later, Lu Buwei took Mrs. Lu and his son to stand at the door of their house and bid farewell to their parents. Mrs. Lu wiped away tears, and even Lu Weng couldn't say anything. Lu Buwei's purpose of going was very clear. among.Since ancient times, those who seek this matter have always been successful if they fail. Therefore, in order to avoid hurting the family in Weiguo, Lu Buwei will not return until the big event is successful. Even Lu Weng's family will move away and hide their names for the time being.Once this trip is gone, it will be completely unknown when we will meet again.

In fact, Lu Weng was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Lu Buwei wanted to take Lu An away. He thought that his grandson should keep a low profile now, but Lu Buwei persuaded him.

Lu Buwei believed that in Puyang, everyone knew that Lu An was different when he was young, and the special features of his son had been widely spread, so many people here paid attention to him.It would be different if he went to Handan. After all, Handan is a big city, and Zhao is also a big country. There, Lu An is just the son of a merchant, and no one will notice him at all.

And after a few years in Handan, Lu Buwei can use his contacts to find a husband for Lu An.There are many elites in the Wei Kingdom, and the style of writing is at its peak. Zhao and Wei are far apart, and they don’t know each other. If Lu An said something unusual, they would think that he learned it from the other party, and people would not think so. abnormal.

Moreover, Lu Buwei believes that it is better to keep Lu An by his side in the current situation.As a man, Lu An was a little too cautious.

Of course, the old man has a different opinion on this. He thinks that Lu Xiaoan is hiding his personality because he is still relatively unfamiliar with his father. The usual Lu An is obviously a mischievous child.With him at his disposal, Lu An was already wanton enough, but at this moment he suddenly discovered that he had no examples to prove his idea.

Every step Lu An took was just right, and every request gave him a headache at first glance, but now that he thought about it, he felt that none of them were out of the ordinary.When he suddenly discovered this, the old man was a little stunned and at a loss, and didn't even know what to say for a while.

It's not obvious that Lu An did these things, so he didn't discover some clues until now when his son reminded him.Of course, he didn't feel that this was a deliberate calculation by his grandson, it was obviously a cautious temptation of a child under anxiety.

This made him a little distressed and a little guilty. If the eldest son hadn't proposed it today, he would have never noticed it.

As for why Lu Buwei was able to find out... Lu Weng attributed it to the heart-to-heart connection between father and son, but he still disapproved of Lu Buwei taking the child away. He felt that the child was too young and it would not be a good thing to leave his mother.

When Lu Weng said this reason, Lu Buwei was silent again.Seeing his gesture, Lu Weng raised his eyebrows. He suddenly thought of a possibility. Because of his astonishment, his voice involuntarily raised, "Are you trying to take both of you away?"

In this era, when a man goes out for a living, his wife stays in his hometown to take care of the elderly. Unless the husband plans to settle down for a long time and wants to move his family away, there is no reason for the male master to take his small family and leave his old parents in his hometown.If this move is known to others, it is enough to be charged with "unfilial piety".

In the past, Lu Buwei's approach was the same as that of men all over the world who were seeking development. He left his wife in his hometown in the name of being a filial piety on his behalf.

In Lu's house in Handan, he needs a mistress to guard the rear for him.

On the bullock cart, Lu An, who was out for the first time, probed his head, but after a while he was dizzy from the continuous vibration, and finally he could only lie on his mother's lap to recover blood, let alone look at the scenery, just I didn't even have the energy to sit up.

This look was really pitiful, Madam Lu patted her son's back lightly, trying to coax the child to sleep.Unexpectedly, the little man sat up again after lying down for a while, and then lay down again after being dizzy for a while. After three days of repeating, Lu Xiaoan got used to it completely, and he could even accompany his mother in the car on the subsequent journey. Reading - the so-called reciting is memorizing, because Mr. Lu Xiaolang is not yet literate, so he can only follow his mother to recite word by word.

These people didn't find it strange to teach five-year-old children to recite books.

The times are different. The first step of the ancient people's reading is reciting the book, which is different from modern people's reading aloud. Their reciting is to memorize it. Regardless of the three sevens and 21s, they recite it first. Do a little touch.Most of the scholars in the Qin and Han Dynasties still followed the teaching habits of Taoism when they were studying, and generally did not explain word by word.

To put it simply, it is to memorize it first, and then understand it by yourself, enlighten you with a few sentences, if you understand it, you will understand it, and if you don’t understand it?If you don't understand you, you are not suitable to learn from us, you should learn something else.

Then what to study?Very simple, learn Confucianism.

When teaching Confucianism, they pay attention to teaching without discrimination. There is no limit to the number of students. Theoretically, anyone who wants to learn is accepted, especially focusing on educating the middle and lower classes. As long as you can understand, no matter how much foundation you have or not, even a child of how old you are can explain it to you. It doesn't matter how much enlightenment you can learn, but you can definitely understand it if you understand it.

Therefore, Confucianism is a kind of existence called strange work among the scholars, but even if it is a strange work, it must be endorsed.

And this is also a learning habit created by the times.

The book carriers used at this time were bamboo scrolls. A bamboo scroll could only record a hundred or ten characters, and it was very heavy and expensive. Few people could afford to buy books, and those who could have a collection of books were even more invaluable.For example, according to the Lu family's collection of books, if they are willing to sell them, then the problems encountered by the Lu family at that time can quickly solve the previous economic crisis without Lu Buwei entering the business.

But for people at this time, books are equal to knowledge and the future.Therefore, everyone in the Lu family finally discussed, and finally, under Lu Buwei's insistence, they chose to sacrifice Lu Buwei's official career in exchange for the future of the Lu family, and kept the collection of books.

These books are the strength of the Lu family's recovery, and they are priceless treasures.

So the once rich Lu family is like this, what about ordinary poor people?They may save for a year and a half to buy one or two volumes, so what should they do?It's very simple, people's potential is limitless, and when they are really pushed to the limit, almost everyone can have an unforgettable ability under extreme circumstances, and this ability is cultivated from childhood.

Not to mention the Qin and Han eras when bamboo slips were used as the carrier, even in the Tang and Song dynasties, there was still a kind of elegant stealing called stealing books, which refers to reading other people's books when visiting other people's homes and then silently writing them down and stuffing them into the books. Inside my bookshelf.

And later, when the carrier of knowledge was relatively easy to obtain, this sense of urgency naturally became much less. Therefore, looking at the history books, it seems that geniuses were everywhere in the Middle Ages, and all of them were unforgettable or unforgettable.

However, there are only a few who are approaching Lu An's level.Lu Buwei noticed that Lu An's learning progress can be memorized after his wife has read it about two times, and if it is a little more complicated, he can memorize it about three times.

Although this kind of learning method is useless for children to understand knowledge, it can help him recognize words.Lu An has a natural sensitivity to words, as long as he matches a few words, he can quickly understand them.However, Lu Buwei was not too surprised because he had a name bestowed by heaven.

After all, my son is so good that he was called by God to teach him knowledge!God will choose his son must be because his son is so good!

Perfect logic, no problems at all.

Therefore, Lu Buwei soon joined in the cramming education of his son, and his son's talent soon surprised and delighted him, full of pride in being a teacher and a father.It's a pity that this kind of fatherly kindness and filial piety didn't last long. A few days later, Lu Buwei suddenly found that his son was ignoring him, and he usually changed into a posture of facing each other.

What's wrong?

Lu Buwei, who was confused by his son's sudden cold violence, went to ask his wife, but the wife didn't understand. The couple went back and forth for a long time before they figured out a possibility-because of Lu Buwei's concubine.

That's right, Lu Buwei has been traveling abroad for nearly five years, so naturally he also took a concubine.It didn't seem like a big deal to either of the couple.

In the era when the Zhou royal family had not yet perished, and the country was still governed by ritual and music, the gap between wives, concubines, and concubines was absolutely insurmountable.

If it is said that in the later dynasties that ruled the country by etiquette and law, concubines could rely on their sons, daughters, or men's favor to create backyard dramas such as pampering concubines and destroying wives, it was absolutely impossible in the pre-Qin era.A concubine is a concubine, and her status is no different from that of a servant. In other words, she is a female slave.

They have no human rights, only real rights. They are the property of men, and they can be transferred as gifts at will. The only thing better than slaves is that they have the possibility of giving birth to the master's children, and they can have the hope of being cared for by their parents and children. .

Therefore, before Lu Buwei just said to Madam Lu that he had taken a concubine, his tone was no different from buying a horse at home-to some extent, the latter was more important.When Mrs. Lu heard the words, she just responded to express her understanding, that's all.After that, the two naturally talked about other topics.

Both husband and wife did not expect their son to mind this.

At first Lu Buwei thought it was Mrs. Lu who cared, but she didn't have the nerve to say it out. The child just found out, and the son was complaining to his mother. He even explained the situation of the concubine's room to Mrs. Lu.

This concubine's family is not bad, and belongs to a declining nobleman in Handan, Zhao State.Lu Buwei needed their recommendation, and they needed Lu Buwei's money, and they hit it off with each other. This family married their concubine daughter to Lu Buwei as a concubine, which was regarded as the "deposit" for the strong alliance.

At that time, Lu Buwei, who wanted to expand the Zhao country's market, was pushing the boat along the way, after all, he was just a concubine.

And this concubine Ji... let's call her Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji is full of beauty and talent, at the banquet hosted by Lu Buwei in the early days, Zhao Ji made him look good, so she was very fond of Lu Buwei.

But Zhao Ji was born as a concubine, and her mother was also a concubine. Although she was taught a lot of talents when educating her, she did not teach her all the skills of being a mother.This directly led to Zhao Ji's short-sightedness.

Zhao Ji's mother's family really wanted to marry him at the time, but her mother's family was an aristocrat after all, and Lu Buwei was just a businessman from a small country.Although Zhao Ji is a concubine, the concubine of the noble family is also higher than Lu Buwei of the commoner merchant, so at first the other party took Qiao for a while.

However, at that time, Zhao Ji had taken a fancy to Lu Buwei's assets and appearance, and felt that it was difficult to stand out from the group of sisters and be selected by the head of the family, so she took the initiative to put down her figure and get close to her in private.
