The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"It's not a big problem." Yan Lide gave Li Fu a positive answer.

The residence of the Prince of Jingyang, plus a school and a workshop, the three places together are not as troublesome as the construction of the palace.

This little work is really nothing to Yan Lide.

As long as there is money, people and materials, one or two more can be done.

"But, what kind of person is the Ma Shisan you mentioned?" Yan Lide asked.

"Oh, he is the shopkeeper of this workshop." Li Fu said: "He is in charge of the workshop on the farm."

"Okay, let him help you and take care of it. The workshop is not complicated, but I have to keep an eye on your house." Yan Lide asked Li Fu directly for someone.

Since he is the shopkeeper of the workshop, he knows the workshop very well.

Yan Lide is good at construction, but not good at management. The workshop needs to be separated into different areas. Ma Shisan is most familiar with this, so Yan Lide asked Ma Shisan to supervise the construction together.

Yan Lide picked up the iced mung bean soup on the table, drank two sips, and made a happy sound.

"Oh, I guess I will have to work on your farm for the next six months. Who knows, I may still be here next year." Yan Lide said.

"How great, the court will give you a lot of salary, you can eat and drink well here." Li Fu laughed, "I haven't treated you badly."

"Hahahaha, that's right, that's right." Yan Lide laughed.

If it were somewhere else, would there be so much food? There are ice cubes in the house on a hot day?

And there is iced mung bean soup? Ice-cold fruit?

Where can I find it?

Working here on this farm in Jingyang County is a good job, and there are fewer things to worry about.

"Tomorrow, Dr. Lu will move into the house. We will inevitably meet each other in the morning and evening. I have never met Dr. Lu, and I don't know what kind of person he is." Li Fu sighed, "I have to deal with him. This is the second reason why I came to you today. I want to ask you what kind of person Dr. Lu is?"

"I see." Yan Lide smiled, "Dr. Lu is a famous scholar. During the Southern Chen Dynasty, he was the teacher of the crown prince Chen Shubao. Later, when the Chen Dynasty fell, he returned to his hometown. Sui Yang At that time, the emperor appointed him as an assistant teacher of the Imperial College. Later, the Sui Dynasty also fell. At that time, the emperor allowed His Majesty to set up a literary institute in the Qinwang Palace to recruit scholars from all over the world. Dr. Lu became a scholar of the literary institute.

Because he had been a teacher of the crown prince, he was appointed by His Majesty to be the teacher of the current crown prince. Dr. Lu's teacher Zhou Hongzheng was a famous Confucian scholar. Dr. Lu was also a famous teacher with excellent students. He was upright, talented, and knowledgeable. "

"What is Dr. Lu's personality like?" Li Fu asked.

"I haven't had much contact with him, so I don't know him well, but I heard that Dr. Lu is also upright and strict when teaching students." Yan Lide said, "Your Highness, you are going to play with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the farm, so you probably have to appease Dr. Lu. Otherwise, when His Royal Highness comes here, it will be no different from being in Chang'an City. He still has to complete his homework every day. To put it bluntly, it's just taking the Crown Prince to a different place for classes."

"In my opinion, since you want to take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others to relax on the farm, then don't bring Dr. Lu. "Yan Lide said with a smile: "Look at what this has done."

"It will not work if I don't bring him." Li Fu also spread his hands helplessly: "If you don't invite Dr. Lu over, do you think His Majesty can let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others live in the manor for a while? Even so, he wrote to tell me not to delay their studies."

Li Fu shook his head as he spoke: "I always feel that the Crown Prince is still young. It's too painful to force him to learn everything at such a young age and arrange such a heavy daily homework."

Yan Lide went to get a bowl of mung bean soup and handed it to Li Fu.

"Not necessarily. After all, that is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In the future, he will lead the world and inherit the Tang Dynasty. He carries the hopes of His Majesty and the ministers, as well as the hopes of the people of the Tang Dynasty. If he doesn't study and doesn't understand, the people will have a hard time in the future." Yan Lide sighed.

There is no need to be taboo about such words. There is no precedent in the Tang Dynasty that people are punished for their words.

Yan Lide felt that it was normal for His Majesty to invite a famous teacher to teach the prince strictly. However, he did not quite understand the idea of ​​His Royal Highness Prince Jingyang.

People in a position have things to do in that position.

The prince should be excellent. Even though he is young now, he should read more and understand benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness.

As for what Prince Jingyang said, it was still too idealistic.Although Yan Lide felt so, he also envied Li Fu for having such an open-minded and cheerful mind and such an attitude towards life.

A gentleman is harmonious but different, seeking common ground while reserving differences, that's it.

If he didn't think so much, he would also like to be as leisurely and comfortable as King Jingyang.

But in Yan Lide's view, that's the life he should live after he is sixty years old, that's the life of retirement, not now. Now their old Yan family still expects the two brothers to earn the family business, and still expects to continue to move up and carry forward the glory of the old Yan family.

Especially, now that there are children under their knees, they should also consider more for the children, at least to pave the way for their future.

The more he thought about it, Yan Lide felt that Li Fu was just not married now, and his ideas were not mature. When he got married in the future, had a wife and children, and was involved in the family, his ideas would be different. Even if he didn't make any plans on his side, his wife's family would make him make plans.

A man of Li Fu's status must marry someone of equal status, not a small family.

Even in Yan Lide's view, personal preferences should be put aside for the object of marriage, and the main consideration should be whether the other party's family background is prominent. As for preferences, you can keep concubines in the future, or even keep mistresses secretly. You can find whoever you like. If you don't like people, you can even buy one from Pingkangfang. Yan Lide looked at Li Fu with a smile on his face.

"Some things, now you have one idea, and when the situation is different in the future, you will have another idea."

"Your Highness has not married yet. When you get married one day, you will have many considerations. I believe that at that time, your ideas will be different from now."

Li Fu also smiled.

I never thought that he would have differences with Old Yan in parenting concepts, but this is also very normal.

The environment in which the two grew up is very different.
