Wen Wan and her three children spent the whole morning shopping, but did not look for a restaurant to go in. But at a chaos stall, each person had a bowl of chaos.
Xia Xian¡¯s craftsmanship is first-class, but the snacks outside also have their own characteristics. Mingjin is a foodie, so naturally he doesn't want to waste any of such good snacks. So, I ate until my belly was bulging. Mingjin touched her belly to support herself: "Mom, I feel bad." If I had known better, I shouldn't have eaten so much.
Wen Wan and Mingrui shook their heads helplessly at the same time. The mother and son had a perfect understanding. This time I went out and bought a lot of things, big and small.
Wen Wan smiled and said: "This is the first time I go out. Mom will pay the bill for you. From now on, you have to pay the bills yourself." Mingrui and Mingjin have a monthly quota of ten taels of silver each month. Xia Yu heard this The number is so small that I am speechless. If there is no way out of this door, why do you need so much money? However, Wen Wan heard a hidden meaning in Xia Yu's words, and it seems that the child's concept of money must be strengthened in the future. Don't spend money indiscriminately. If you borrow money from outside and ask her to pay it back in the future, she will probably vomit blood (then you are not far from being a loser).
When I got home, I happened to run into Mr. Fang on the way back to the backyard. Mr. Fang saw a young man with three children from a distance, and he was still puzzled! This backyard is not a place where men can enter. These three children are still so familiar with him. who? Fortunately, Mr. Fang didn't think wrongly, he was just a little surprised.
When I got closer, Mr. Fang was embarrassed. Wenwan's situation was special, and Mr. Fang couldn't say anything. Just pretend that you haven't seen Wen Wan in men's clothing. She secretly murmured in her heart that the princess was really born in the wrong child, she should have been a boy.
Wenwan spent one day relaxing with her children, and then started to get busy again the next day. Like this, after more than half a month. Wen Wan suddenly heard that the general had sent two people over.
Wen Wan said in surprise: "Send someone? Did something big happen that I don't know about? Xia Yao, get Xia Ying over quickly." In the past, it was just things, letters. But no one was sent. Could it be that something big happened and I couldn't let others know about it, so I sent my confidants to tell them personally.
Xia Ying got the news early. He smiled and said, "The princess has to ask the eldest son about this." The two people sent were experts in riding and shooting, which was Mingrui's request.
Wen Wan suddenly realized. Two years ago, Wenwan allowed the two children to write letters to their father by themselves. Wen Wan did this in the hope of narrowing the gap between father and son. Even if you haven¡¯t seen it. But frequent correspondence between father and son will also make them closer and closer. You won't feel unfamiliar when you come back. Wen Wan doesn't want her son to think that having a father means they don't have a father. There is precedent for this. Many high-ranking military generals keep their wives and children in the capital. Those who have never seen their father at birth gradually grow up and their father becomes a symbol to them. Wenwan doesn't want this to happen.
Wenwan asked someone to pass the message and ask the three children to come to her after class. At noon, Lingcheng, Mingrui and Mingjin came over together: "Mom, what's going on?"
Wen Wan told the story about their father sending two people here: "Ming Rui. Tell mother, what's going on?" The child corresponded with Bai Shinian, and Wen Wan never asked what they said. Wen Wan thinks it's the child's own passion. If she wants to talk, she will listen. If she doesn't want to, she won't ask.
Mingrui was a little surprised: "So fast?" His father was very efficient in doing things.
Wen Wan was speechless at Mingrui's question: "Your father lives in the border town and has always felt guilty for not being able to watch you grow up. Now that you are asking him to see something, he hasn't sent you here quickly. You child, It's such a big deal. Why don't you tell me so that I can make preparations?" If the master of cavalry and archery comes here, he will definitely have to make other arrangements for this.
Mingrui didn't expect it to happen so soon. He waited until his father replied to the letter this time before telling Wen Wan: "Mom, I didn't think carefully about this matter. I will pay attention to it next time."
Wen Wan nodded and said to Mingjin in a blink of an eye: "You will also remember your brother's mistake this time. If there is anything important next time, you have to tell your mother. So as not to catch your mother off guard."
Mingrui nodded, but Mingjin refused: "Mom, I haven't tried this yet. Who knows if they are better than Master Liao." After suffering Mr. Fang's pain, Mingjin was really afraid that two more people would follow Fang. A stern master like Mr. Mingjin has suffered enough during this period of time.
Mr. Fang is very fond of Mingjin. Wenwan used to assign a hundred big characters every day. Almost gentle and careless. But Mr. Fang failed and was asked to write a hundred characters. Not a single stroke can go wrong. If the writing is not good one stroke after another, you have to rewrite it. Rewriting will need to be done ten times. The penalty does not include the 100 characters written on that day. Mingjin went to Wenwan to complain, and Wenwan didn't say anything else. She just stayed with him that night until Mingjin finished writing.
After doing this twice, Mingjin was severely punished by Mingrui. Mingjin really corrected his attitude. Shi Wenwan faced XiaYao said: "I understand now. Why do teachers never teach their own children?" Wen Wan heard before that many talented people would send their children out to study, which was strange. Now I finally know the reason. She still had to be strict with the requirements, but she always felt that if the child was small, it would be enough. This is almost likely to harm the child. Fortunately, I woke up in time.
Mr. Fang was too strict, which made Mingjin uncomfortable at first, but she has gotten used to it after such a long time. But if two more come, Mingjin is really worried about whether she can handle it. Facts have proved that Mingjin's worries were not groundless.
Wen Wan smiled and said: "These two people must have been selected by your father. How can they be worse. Mother will take you to meet them later."
After lunch, the two people who came over also packed up and came to see Wen Wan and the three children. The two people sent by Bai Shinian were no ordinary soldiers. They all have official positions. It's just that the position is not very high, one is at the seventh level and the other is from the sixth level. In the eyes of ordinary people, that is someone they need to look up to. But in the princess's palace, these two official positions are really not enough. You know, Wuxing is all a fourth-grade official, and Xia Yao is even higher.
There are two people, one is tall and the other is lean. The seven-foot-tall, rough man with full beard named Chen is about forty years old and has good riding skills. The other one was much more handsome in comparison. His surname was Lu. He was an expert archer in the army and was about thirty years old.
Generally speaking, Bai Shinian would let such a person back without showing any favoritism. Mainly due to these two people, Master Chen has injuries on his body. The injuries will occur every time the seasons change. The pain is unbearable when the disease occurs. Let alone going to the battlefield, he still needs someone to take care of him when the disease occurs! Master Lu has an injured leg. It is okay to teach the two children archery with an injured leg, but he cannot go on the battlefield. There must be other better candidates, but since those people have this ability, they must want to gain a future on their own. If you force people to come, they won't do their best. This was also a decision Bai Shinian made after careful consideration.
These two people were chosen by Bai Shinian, and Wen Wan believed in Bai Shinian's vision. He didn't ask too many questions, let alone test their abilities. Just let two children meet two masters.
The two people pushed it down in an orderly manner. On the way here, someone had already told them that the rules in the princess's mansion were strict and they must abide by them. If the two young masters are taught well, neither the general nor the princess will be able to treat them badly. Because of this warning, I was a little cautious.
In the eyes of Mingrui and Mingjin, their behavior became a little timid. There was suspicion in Mingrui's eyes. His father really chose the best candidate for him.
Wenwan allowed the two children to meet two martial arts masters. Learning martial arts is different from studying literature and does not require apprenticeship. Of course, even if they wanted to become a disciple, Wen Wan would not let them do so. Just wait until Bai Shinian comes back in two years and let him teach his son well. Why should you seek someone else as your teacher? Wen Wan said a few words to the two of them and invited them to go down and have a good rest. The long journey was very tiring.
Wen Wan waited until her son saw her and then let the two of them go down. Regarding Mingrui and Mingjin's dissatisfaction, he said with a smile: "They are used to being at home in the border town. There are many rules in this capital. Especially in our mansion, there are more rules, so it is inevitable that there will be some restraint. Once you get familiar with them, it will be nothing. Don't worry about these little things, as long as they have real talent and learning." The real reason is that these people are afraid of her.
Mingrui and Mingjin maintain a wait-and-see attitude. But after the actual teaching, I realized that this ability was not just a boast. The person who invites you gently is certainly good, but he is not so fierce.
Before the two came, Bai Shinian had already told them that they must be taught strictly. Bai Shinian is not worried about Mingrui, only worried about Mingjin. But we can¡¯t just target one person, so we strictly require three people. In the end, Mingjin was the only one complaining.
The two masters are very satisfied with the three children. Especially for Mingrui, it was simply a joy. This is definitely talent, no, genius. What is not a genius is something that is obvious at first glance.
After all the civil and military masters came over, the three children really felt nervous. It's okay to have two riding and archery masters. Anyway, it's just a matter of time after teaching. But Mr. Fang still has to assign a lot of homework after class. In the evening, after the three children have finished practicing big calligraphy, they still have to do their homework. It usually takes an hour to complete their homework. This is the workload that Wen Wan will have after talking to Mr. Fang, no matter how little it is, it will be gone. Because of this, Wenwan no longer needs to tell stories to her children at night.
Lingting is a good boy who endures hardships and stands hard work. No matter how hard or tired he is, he never makes a sound. Mingrui likes it himself, and this is also his ideal. study hard. Poor Mingjin couldn't bear it anymore. Mingjin really couldn't stand it anymore, and it was useless to give Wen Wan advice. As a result, Mingjin began to stay in bed, unwilling to get up while lying down.
Mingrui was very bad-tempered at first, but then he got really annoyed and refused to let him sleep, so he went to practice on his own.?Wenwan doesn't care much about Mingjin sleeping in. Children, only if they eat well and sleep well can they grow well. An extra hour of sleep is good. (To be continued)
