With a gentle smile, she asked Mingrui and Mingjin to go back to the house: "Sir, are my two children worthy of your attention?"
The alchemist stood up and saluted: "Preaching in front of the princess is really just a trick. The two young masters are both talented people. Princess, please forgive me for asking. The two young masters are quick to learn and extremely intelligent." The two books compiled by the princess are also highly admired by Lao Chen. They are enough to teach the eldest and second young masters. "This is also a question that Fang Shitong is puzzled by. He is able to teach two children with his gentle talent and learning. You know, who in the world doesn't know that Wen Wan has accepted Ling Yang as her student. It¡¯s weird to accept students but not teach your own children!
Mr. Fang¡¯s suspicion is not unreasonable. In fact, Wen Wan said that she was too busy to teach her three children, which was just a reason. There are two reasons why Wen Wan wants to ask Mr.
First of all, Wen Wan is very aware that her character is flawed. Wen Wan told Xia Yao that the personality of children who grow up with their parents will be affected by their parents. For example, if parents have very irritable personalities, the probability of children growing up with them also being irritable is very high. Wen Wan had been worried that Ming Jin would be influenced by her and learn all these shortcomings if she was always by her side. So she tried her best to correct and cover up.
Unfortunately, Wen Wan has discovered that Mingjin is already like her in some aspects. For example, it is delicious and enjoyable (children enjoying themselves is actually a sign of laziness). These are naturally okay. What worries Wen Wan the most is that Mingjin is very wary of people, has difficulty trusting people, and is not big-minded. The most obvious example is Ling Yang. Mingjin showed strong rejection at first, but it took Lingcheng half a year to get him to reluctantly agree with Mingrui's help. Nowadays, even if they get along well with each other, Mingjin still likes to compare with Lingchen in everything. That dress is the perfect example. This is a very bad phenomenon. It didn't matter that she was guarded and withdrawn. But Mingjin couldn't. If a boy is not broad-minded, his future horizons will be limited.
Although Mingrui is very good and mentally mature, Wen Wan feels that this child is too depressed. Excessive suppression will not be good for the future. At least Wenwan thinks it's not good for your health.
The second reason is that the paths Mingrui and Mingjin will take in the future are completely different from the path she takes. The path that Mingrui and Mingjin are going to take is very unfamiliar to Wenwan. The path she took was dangerous but actually very simple. She just needs to gain the emperor's trust and be wary of other people's schemes. But Mingrui and Mingjin are not. They will have to deal with all kinds of people in the future. Wen Wan asks herself that she is not bad, but she is actually an alien in this world, and this world is a man's world after all. There is a lot to learn.
Because of these two reasons. So Wen Wan believes that the two children need a knowledgeable, wise, broad-minded, and gentle person to guide their brothers. In this way, her children will be able to avoid a lot of detours and suffer a lot of losses in the future.
Except for Wen Wan herself, no one else knows the real reason why Wen Wan asked for her husband. Even Wen Wan¡¯s super confidant Xia Yao doesn¡¯t know. Xia Yao only thought that Wen Wan was working too hard and wanted to find someone to share the burden with so that she could breathe a sigh of relief.
Wen Wan smiled and answered Mr. Fang with the same reason: "Thank you for your praise, sir. I don't hide it from you either. I have too many things on my hands and I am too busy every day. I don't have enough energy to teach three children. So. Someone is needed to help.¡±
Fang Shitong just asked these questions to the two children. No matter from every aspect, the children's answers made Fang Shitong very satisfied. So I am willing to teach two children. But after hearing the gentle words, Fang Shitong murmured in his heart, wouldn't he be allowed to teach the emperor's grandson together. Fang Shitong was a little hesitant: "The princess said in her letter that day that she would ask the old man to teach the eldest and the youngest young master. Now we are talking about three children. Who is this other child?" Both children have very good qualifications. In addition, he was carefully raised by the princess. Fang Shitong was very satisfied with this. Although he knew that two children would be good before he came here, he didn't expect them to be so good, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Wen Wan didn't hide it: "This other child is my nephew, Ling Chang, and he is also my student. I don't hide it from you, sir. Although I think I am not bad in knowledge, I am the only one who has After all, my knowledge is limited. In the past, I was often asked by my children, but it was not convenient for my children to go to the study room. In addition, I have many things to do, so I often ask teachers and other bachelors for advice. But this is not a long-term solution. That¡¯s why I need a knowledgeable person who can relieve me of my troubles in the future.¡±
The alchemist listened to Wen Wan saying that his knowledge was limited. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "The princess is humble. The princess's talent and learning are known to everyone in the world." You know, Confucius said that if three people are walking together, there must be someone who can teach me. This means that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and needs to learn from others to make up for their weaknesses. But what can really be doneThere are a few more people. Alchemists have seen many people who are self-righteous and arrogant. A person with such a reputation as Princess Wenwan could be so self-effacing. Fang Shitong really admired Princess Wenwan in his heart. The rumors were not false at all.
The alchemists also did not ask for people to observe the worshiping master. All he said was that these were for outsiders to see. When the day was chosen, Mingrui and Mingjin would pour him a cup of tea.
Wen Wan made a final point: "Sir, I also told you in the letter that their father was a military commander. No matter whether they want to follow their father's path in the future, they must not forget their roots. What I mean is, study in the morning, Practicing martial arts in the afternoon. What do you think?" Wen Wan had already mentioned it in the letter before, which also made Fang Shitong prepared.
The alchemist hesitated and then said: "Princess, what are the three children doing at night?" There is a lot of time in the evening, and it will not be left empty like this. The alchemist thought that he would also come to teach in the evening.
Wen Wan smiled slightly, and he could use it at night. But Wen Wan still shook her head: "The three children have to practice the word "hour" for one hour in the evening. The rest of the time is the time I spend with the children." This is considered parent-child time, and it must not be given to Fang Shitong. Except at night, you can only see it during the day when you are eating.
Fang Shitong raised no objection to this. Let alone Ling Chang, Mingrui and Mingjin are not people who need to pass the imperial examination to gain fame. In addition, the two children come from meritorious families and are good at martial arts, so they are definitely required. Fang Shitong also raised an objection: "None of these old men have objections. But the old men want to know why the county wants to let the children study for six days and rest for one day."
Wen Wan smiled softly: "This nerve, well, if the brain is too tight, it will be unbearable, so it would be better to let him relax. If sir is worried, you can also give them homework that day. I promise. They don't delay their homework. "In fact, the so-called rest means that Mingjin really knows how to rest. Mingrui relaxes in the morning and does not want to waste any other time during martial arts training. Ling Chang is a person who never relaxes in learning. With three children, Mingjin is just a slacker in comparison.
Seeing Fang Shitong's disapproving look, Xia Yao smiled and said: "Sir, I didn't agree with the princess's approach at first. But after so long, I found that the princess's approach is actually very effective. If sir doesn't believe it, in the future, Just know.¡±
Wen Wan added: "Sir, the children are still young after all. If they are restrained too tightly, they will become rebellious. Many children hate studying because they are restrained too tightly. It makes the children lose interest in learning. No matter how hard you force them, it will be useless. , it may even be counterproductive. Proper relaxation will help children learn better.¡±
If it weren¡¯t for Wenwan¡¯s two enlightening books, Fang Shitong might have continued to oppose it. For now, he decided to wait and see. No objection was raised, but neither was agreement.
The final decision was made by Wen Wan. Since there is no objection, it will be implemented as such. After discussing the serious matters, Wen Wan also discussed some trivial matters, that is, letting the alchemist live in the front yard together. Fang Shitong nodded, said everything and let Wen Wan handle it, and then left.
Wen Wan looked at Fang Shitong's back with some regret. If he hadn't had a full beard, he would have been a handsome man. Hey, ancient aesthetic concepts make people speechless! No matter how good-looking a person is, with a long beard, he loses all sense of beauty.
Xia Yao saw Wen Wan's attitude: "What is the princess thinking?"
Wenwan expressed his regrets. Xia Yao had a strange look on her face, and she twitched her mouth for a long time before saying: "For such an old man, the princess also said he was good-looking? I don't know what the princess thinks." Fortunately, he was used to Wen Wan's off-line thinking, and knew Wen Wan's off-line thinking. Wan has always missed Bai Shinian. Otherwise, Wen Wan's words would make people wonder whether she can't stand the loneliness in the boudoir, and even an old man finds her attractive.
Xia Yao was calm and composed, but Xia Ying could not. Xia Ying looked weird and opened her mouth to speak, but Wen Wan continued.
Wen Wan smiled and said: "Don't you understand this? A twenty-year-old man is called a boy. He has no experience, just like a little carrot head. Only a thirty-year-old experienced man can be called a man. These men are like Wine tastes better when it has been stored for a long time. A forty-year-old man like Alchemist has practiced both internally and externally. He is steady, restrained, knowledgeable, and wise, and his whole body exudes an indescribable charm. "
Before Xia Yao could speak, Xia Ying beside her was horrified: "Princess, could you" You couldn't have fallen in love with this old man. This is not good!
Wen Wan looked at Xia Ying's ghostly expression. Wen Wan didn't expect that Xia Ying was thinking about something off-line. So she was speechless: "I just said that. Do you want this expression? I didn't say it was scary, right?" In other words, she did think Fang Shitong was pretty good. This may also be related to his broad vision and deep thinking. (To be continued)
