The Xingtai General's Mansion is also located on the north bank of Luoshui, but it does not enter the Lifang, but creates a small city called Xuanren City.

The east and south sides of Xuanren City are under construction or have been built, and there are two lakes and ponds that already exist and have been dug and expanded in the middle, and the west side is the location of the planned imperial city. However, compared with the entire city, the construction progress of the imperial city is not fast, and now only the core Taiji Palace has been sketched, and the rest of the city is just a forbidden area.

For Shen Zhezi, going north to Luoyang to create a platform has not changed much in his daily life, he is still busy with affairs, at most, the office is closer to home, but the distance between the front and back yards. Although this was the same in Shouchun in previous years, at that time, he often had to lead troops to fight abroad, and he did not stay in the Governor's Mansion for much time.

After the Qitai reform, the border defense lines have been consolidated, and there are no major development plans in recent years, so most of the time has been left in the house, especially in the summer of this year, Princess Xingnan and the child A Xiu went north to Luo, and his father Shen Chong also followed the north to live temporarily, so after being busy with official business, Shen Zhezi hurriedly returned, serving his father and teaching his son, and lived a full and happy life.

The inner courtyard of the General's Mansion is large, but it lacks the beauty of the garden and maintains a simple style. The only area that is still delicate is the living room for his wife and children.

In the Qushui bamboo forest, the attic looms, and in the attic at this time, there is a reverberating sound of play, occasionally mixed with some children's laughter.

Many years later, when Emperor Shen Yu of the Great Liang Dynasty traveled through the small city of Xuanren, he would still think of the distant afternoon when his father took him to watch the shadow show in the dark room of the warm pavilion.

At that time, he had just arrived in Luoyang for a long time, and everything felt so fresh, but all the freshness was not as great as the impact of the vivid painting on the white veil.

The impact of his childhood deeds was so profound that many years later, in addition to heavy state affairs, his biggest pastime was to sit alone in the dark room, quietly watch a play "Emperor Gao's Breaking the Army", and then enjoy a meal of goose soup.

So, in the dim warm pavilion in the afternoon, the father patiently told him the truth of light and shadow imaging, the queen mother whispered that he was going to be a waster, and the second brother Shen Ying was laughing childishly on the side, and the sounds and pictures in many memories were vivid.

"He's been watching for more than an hour, and he hasn't finished his homework today, so it's time to stop!"

Princess Xingnan frowned, raised her hand and gently dusted off her robe and complained, but her eyes were still staring at the light curtain, and occasionally raised her hand to stuff a piece of milk caramel into the mouth of Xiao Shen Ying, who was clapping and laughing in Ah Ling's arms on the other side, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the words. As for the absent concubine, she is still recuperating in peace.

The name of the second son Shen Ying was proposed by his father Shen Chong, five people said Mao, ten people said Xuan, one hundred people said Jun, and one thousand people said Ying, which was also a commendation. As for the small characters, the name is Pusheng, which was given by his mother, Cui Ling, to commemorate the hard years in the early years and the old things that the husband salvaged and rescued from the bitter sea. Shen Zhezi was unwilling to forcibly stop Ah Ling's wife from remembering, so he could only stand against Shen Pusheng, who would not object.

Shen Axiu, who was wearing a velvet tiger head hat, heard his mother's disgusted voice, hugged his father's arm tightly with his backhand, and said pitifully: "I'm in the south, I miss Grandpa every day, Grandpa's deeds are mighty, I really want to watch it again......"

Shen Zhezi still remembered that this kid had seen his cowardice and fear of life when he entered Luo, but when he heard this milky sycophant, he couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and ordered: "Play it again." ”

However, although this small method is effective, it is also limited, after the shadow play has been performed again, even if the child still has to kick his legs and cry, he was also pulled out of the dark room by his mother with his braids, and was aggrieved and pressed in front of the desk, pouting and grinding ink by himself.

Whenever he saw this scene, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but feel resentful of Princess Xingnan, the reason was an old incident between this mother and son in Jiankang Capital earlier.

After Qitai changed the yuan, his father Shen Chong also relieved himself of Taiwan affairs, and his biggest pastime every day was to spoil his grandson at home with a change of law. Every time the princess wants to be a tutor for enlightenment, my father will laugh and say that my family Ah Xiu is not a common species, and there is no need for ordinary hard teaching, and the talent can be strong by itself. So later, Princess Xingnan specialized in teaching children's calligraphy, and her father no longer showed off.

The world is difficult, why is this! I just lack pen power a little, and whoever I provoked was actually harmed by my children!

Seeing the five-year-old child sitting in front of the desk, holding a pen with his immature little arms hanging empty, Shen Zhezi felt sad. Helplessly, the most poisonous woman's heart, the princess picked on his weakness, so that he didn't know how to protect the child, and he couldn't see that the child would be like him in the future, and he had to find someone to catch the knife on the inscription with just four words.

However, Princess Xingnan's poisonous hands did not stop there, Shen Zhezi, who was holding his legs and swinging arms between his armpits, was about to withdraw, but was stopped by Princess Xingnan.

"These days I have been thinking of one thing in my heart, and I want to ask my husband to answer. Ah Xiu, a child who is not shallow, and has already known the number of hundreds, enlightenment is enough, and he should also consider learning "Poetry". Jiang Biao lacks a famous "poem" heirloom, and there is always a collection of times in the sky, and there should be no shortage of grandmasters. Did the husband choose to hire a few people to teach children? ”

Princess Xingnan grabbed her husband's sleeve and asked with a serious face.

When Shen Zhezi heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This kid is only five years old......

"The imaginary number is about to reach six."

Princess Xingnan looked back at the little child Ah Xiu who had already put pen to paper, turned her head and sighed again, and her eyebrows were also filled with melancholy: "I also grew up from a young age, where I don't know that children love play, and I hope he can be happy sooner or later." But born in such a family, the son of a famous father, he is afraid that he is not as good as a good father, and how dare he indulge him to play too much and waste his time. ”

So it's all my fault?

Shen Zhezi was a little helpless for a while when he heard the princess's argument, he could understand this kind of motherly intentions, but a child of a few years old, even if he forced more boring knowledge, it was not only tantamount to learning, but also stifled the possibility of more imagination.

"It's better to wait until next year......"

Shen Zhezi hadn't finished speaking here, and Princess Xingnan had already turned into a look of grievance: "Husband, you love your children, and you also have to understand my hardships." The whole world knows what kind of virtuous and talented my husband is, and I am a mediocre woman, and how can I know how to raise such a high-quality virtuous breed, and I can only make up ......for it with diligence."

"Well, I'll teach him! There is a good father in the family, and there is no need to ask for education. ”

Seeing the princess like this, Shen Zhezi could only raise his hand and say, he didn't worry about throwing his son to those well-educated people outside to torture.

Shen Axiu, who had a bitter little face, saw his father go and return, and immediately put aside the brush and was about to stand up, but saw that his father had already made a straight face: "When a person grows up, he must learn from it." The existence of "Poetry", the lyricism of etiquette and the world, the so-called subtle words and great righteousness, are not yet known to you, a shallow child. Starting today, I will first teach you the science of sound and rhyme, and after the lecture, you should treat each other as a teacher, and you should no longer be an intimate scoundrel, understand? ”

When Ah Xiu heard this, her little face suddenly wrinkled again, but when she saw her mother diligently stuffing the bamboo ruler into her father's hand, she hurriedly said childishly: "I understand." ”

"You have to learn too!"

Shen Zhezi pressed Shen Pusheng on the other side of the meat dumpling again, and then grabbed the brush, preparing to write the previous textbook first.

Seeing this, Princess Xingnan hurriedly snatched the pen from his hand and said, "The husband said by himself, and the concubine came to dictate." This child is a shallow learner of calligraphy, and it is easiest to follow the flow. ”

Shen Zhezi was humiliated by this, his face was a little flushed, and he raised his hand and knocked on the case: "Silence!" ”

Shen Axiu saw that her mother, who had always been strong, was so docile in front of her father, and suddenly her father's image was a little higher in her mind, and her little eyes were full of admiration.

After sitting down, Shen Zhezi chanted for a while and then recited: "Goose goose goose, the song is to the sky." The white hair floats in the green water, and the red anthurium pulls the green waves......"

"Fu Lang is really a poet, and he can be so interesting when he tries to do small things."

After Princess Xingnan copied it once, she couldn't help but recite it, and after a few sentences, she sketched a vivid and interesting picture of the spring river plumbing and the white goose floating waves, looking at her husband, her eyes were full of admiration.

"Silence, there's more!"

Shen Zhezi glanced at her and continued to read: "The sound is divided into lotus leaves, and the net can be captured." The porcelain pot contains five flavors, and the charcoal stove is a small hot pot. Deep-simmered nine medium-ripe, strong fragrance better than the pigeon. The soup juice was thick and slippery, and the rice was still hungry. Lift the net back to the river pond, and the white goose is difficult to get again. ”

Princess Xingnan dictated all the way, but the more she went to the back, her face became more and more strange. Shen Zhezi didn't care what she thought, raised her hand to take the poem and dry the ink, and then put it in front of Ah Xiu, and ordered: "Let's circle the new words first, and when I recognize them, I will give you a deep explanation of the poetry." ”

"This, this ......"

Princess Xingnan was about to stop it, but was driven away by Shen Zhezi waving her hand: "Lady, let's quit first, remember to prepare a charcoal stove to cook and simmer goose soup." This is called the study of things and things, and after knowing everything, this life will be unforgettable, and it is better than reading from a book. ”

Princess Xingnan stood up, hesitating whether to go or stay, but when she saw that the father and son were all lying on the case and reading words, she felt that she was redundant, so she had to quit stupidly.

In the evening, not only Shen Axiu recited this little poem catchily, but even Shen Pusheng's little meat dumpling sat on the dining table and shook his head and shouted goose goose goose.

At dinner, the whole family gathered, each with an urn of goose soup on their own tables, Shen Axiu stood on the side of his eldest father Shen Chongxi and told what he learned in the afternoon with a mocking face: "Does the eldest father know what the five flavors are?" Do you know why the fat goose is cooked and simmered in a charcoal stove......

Shen Chong loved his grandson very much, and naturally cooperated very much at this time, with a pretentious surprised posture on his face, and opened his mouth from time to time, "Why?" "Sure enough?" "I see!"

Shen Zhezi sipped goose soup lightly on the table, and was already relieved to hear his son talk about what he had learned in the afternoon, while Princess Xingnan on the other side covered her face and sighed, regretting that she was not at the beginning.

Shen Jin recently transferred from Tongguan to return to Luo, and today he was also at the table, and when he heard Ah Xiu seriously talk about several stewed methods of fat goose, he had already spread out his folding fan and hid his face and snickered.

When Shen Chong heard this snicker, he was immediately dissatisfied, pointed at Shen Jin and glared at him, "What are you laughing at?" My grandson is so old that he is already familiar with the use of life and people, and when he speaks, he is full of color and fragrance. Ah Xiu, you don't have to pay attention to Uncle Uncle's ridicule, tomorrow the father will teach you to stew cranes! ”

With such a completely different treatment, Shen Jin couldn't laugh at once, put away the folding fan with his backhand, and lowered his head to eat silently.

Halfway through the meal, suddenly the family came to report, saying that Huan Huo entered the house to ask to see. After hearing this, Shen Zhezi put down his chopsticks and got up to leave the table, Shen Jin really didn't dare to stay in front of his father, whose heart was under his elbows, so he hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go with my brother." ”
