The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!
Chapter 79 Educating My Son
Chapter 79 Educating My Son
After returning to Qingfeng House and sending Jingyi back to the main courtyard to be taken care of by Buerhe to rest, the father and son did not walk far but turned around and went to the study in tacit understanding.
Hongye: "Father, does the Emperor agree or is hesitant?"
Yinreng: "Your Majesty will agree. If this matter had not been exposed, it would be fine. Now that your Majesty knows about it, she will definitely start an investigation. When the problems caused by these rules are discovered, they will surely be abolished. That is when this rule will be abolished."
What Yinreng did not say was that the Shangshufang would definitely start dividing classes earlier, instead of teaching everyone together regardless of age or talent as before.
After discussing this topic, Yinreng turned to the topic that Hongye hadn't finished thinking about in Qingxi Book House. "I'm sorry to ask you, your Majesty, have you figured it out? Are you still thinking about how to prove whether the land under your feet is round or square?"
Hongye lowered his head and said, "Father, I was wrong. I was dwelling on a trivial matter. You often told me to be humble and respectful, treat others with sincerity, be diligent and pragmatic, and practice diligently. After I entered the Shangshufang, I found that I was one of the more talented people, so I relaxed and turned to studying minor things. In fact, I didn't necessarily need to know the answer to that question. It was just a small discovery of mine. It's just that my mind was wandering at the time. I thought I had discovered something that others hadn't noticed, so I wanted to show off, thinking..."
Hongye couldn't say any more. It was still very embarrassing to express his little thoughts in person, especially now that Hongye really realized his mistake.
Yinreng touched his son's little head and said, "Hongye, I know what you want to say." Preventing Hongye from saying the next words, Yinreng pulled Hongye to the soft couch beside him and picked him up and held him in his arms.
This was the first time since entering school that Ama had been so intimate with him. Hongye's face flushed red, and he warned himself that he shouldn't be greedy for such tenderness. As a man, he should immediately get down and sit properly. But Hongye was still just a three-year-old child. Ama's warm embrace made Hongye nostalgic. At this moment, he didn't want to follow those rules at all, and just immersed himself in Ama's tenderness.
Seeing his son unconsciously rubbing his face against his clothes, Yinreng said nothing, but watched his every move with a loving look. After a while, Yinreng said softly: "Father actually wants to tell you a little secret. I want to tell you secretly that Father used to do this when he was a child.
Back then, my father was a bit older than you are now, around five or six years old, when he learned Western arithmetic from your father, your father. Don't worry, you're still too young to be exposed to it. You haven't learned it yet, but once you do, you'll find that those little math problems you once encountered will become much easier to solve.
At that time, Ama was delighted with his new knowledge, and he thought of the old scholar whom he had always disliked, and wanted to play a trick on him.
It was also in class that Ama directly raised the question of chickens and rabbits in the same cage to the teacher who taught Ama.
Hongye listened attentively in Yinreng's arms, "What else, Father, what's next?"
Yinreng smiled at Hongye and nodded his little head. "Later, my father's teacher taught me a lesson, a lesson I still remember vividly. Not only did that teacher answer my questions on the spot, he also used several methods and even explained many difficult mathematical problems in history. It was on that day that I finally woke up from my complacency over my own learning of a little Western knowledge."
After hearing this, Hongye leaned against Yinreng and pondered quietly. After a while, Hongye's muffled voice came from Yinreng's arms: "Father, Hongye understands. This matter is Hongye's fault. Knowing people and assigning them to the right positions, making the best use of people and things. Today, your son has experienced it firsthand and has taken this lesson to heart."
Yinreng patted Hongye's little head with satisfaction and said, "My son has an innocent temperament, but he is also a studious person. I believe you can do it. Your days in the Shangshufang may be difficult for a while, but don't be afraid. Facts speak louder than words. My son is a person who respects teachers and elders. Time will prove everything. Well, I have said enough today, so I won't say any more. Your mother is still waiting for us in the main courtyard. Let's go see your sister together!"
In the main courtyard, when Buerhe heard the servants say that Jingyi was too tired and needed more rest recently, even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt sad when he saw his daughter's pale face.
She didn't recommend Jingyi to go to the Shangshufang at that time. The schedule there was abnormal. Jingyi and Hongye, two three-year-old children, were directly subjected to such a high intensity of time. It would be fine for one or two days, but all the problems would come out after a long time.
But she couldn't make the decision on this matter. Or even if she could, the two children were unwilling to give up such a learning opportunity. They wanted to absorb more and deeper knowledge. As a parent, she couldn't stop them.
This also made her think of her parents in her previous life. She had never understood why her parents were so cruel to send her to boarding school. She could only see her parents a few times in a year.
But since she became a mother, she understood that it was not that her parents did not love her, but that they respected her more. If they really did not love her, they would not have worked so hard to provide her with better conditions for studying.
It’s not her parents’ fault that they only saw each other a few times a year. She had already joined the research center at that time, and was so busy on weekdays that she sometimes didn’t even have time to eat. Besides, that place did not allow outsiders to enter or visit casually.
If you are not in charge, you don’t know that chai rice is expensive.
Knowing Jingyi simply hadn't rested enough and needed to rest and eat nutritiously for the next two days, Buerhe said nothing more, simply waving his hand and ordering the kitchen to prepare a medicinal meal. Nanny Pang had also watched Jingyi grow up, and she understood her habits and routines better than the imperial physician. Within two days of the medicinal meal she prepared, Jingyi's complexion had almost fully recovered.
Jingyi lay in bed, and Buerhe fanned her personally: "Mother sometimes wonders if I am harming you by always respecting you like this. Mother knows that you like to study very much, and you have a strong personality since you were a child. I still remember when you and your brother just started to grow teeth, Hongye grew two small teeth first. At that time, because his teeth were itching, mother asked the kitchen to prepare apple strips for him to chew on. At that time, you hadn't started to grow teeth yet, but when you saw your brother chewing on the apple and even chewing off a piece, you were not happy and wailed for more. In the end, your teeth were red and swollen, and you didn't take a bite. Later that night, because your teeth hurt from chewing too much, you made a fuss for most of the night."
Jingyi was unhappy when she heard this: "Mother, that happened a long time ago. I don't remember it, so it doesn't count."
Seeing Jingyi's denial, Buerhe didn't refute her directly, but gave another example: "Let's talk about what happened a while ago. That night you went to Qingxi Academy to deliver lotus flowers. When you came back that night, you recited your lessons in your room until midnight. If the servants hadn't reminded you the next day, you almost missed breakfast. Later, my mother found out that you were trying your best to catch up because your brother could recite Li Bai's poem.
Actually, I'm not criticizing you or opposing your progress. It's just that, child, everything proceeds step by step according to the laws of development. You're still young, and your most important task is to grow up well and lay a solid foundation. Life is long, so why rush for the day?
Mother really hopes that you can enjoy your childhood, make more good friends, and enjoy your childhood more, instead of being trapped in the backyard, facing only father, mother and brother. "
Seeing the gentle look in Buerhe's eyes, Jingyi nodded, agreeing to Buerhe's request, and then gradually fell asleep under Buerhe's gentle comfort.
When the father and son came over, Buerhe was sitting on a soft couch beside her, knitting with an embroidery basket. When she heard the sound, she looked up and saw the father and son trying to come in. She quickly made a gesture to indicate that Jingyi was resting. Seeing this, the father and son did not go in, but went back to the main hall to wait for Buerhe to come out.
Bu Erhe: "What, are you done talking?" After saying that, he looked at Yinreng. Seeing Yinreng nod, Bu Erhe turned his gaze to Hongye.
Hongye scratched his face embarrassedly and grinned at his mother. Buerhe nodded at Hongye unhappily and said, "You are young but have so many ideas. Your father and I were planning to teach you slowly over a few years about this matter, but we didn't expect that you would get stuck in a dead end this time.
However, it's good that you know now. Since you've entered the Shangshufang, it's no longer just about studying in the front yard. You'll be exposed to more than just studying hard. Although you're still young, your mother still wants to tell you that as the eldest son, you will have great responsibilities and pressures in the future, and these are things you must experience, and no one can replace you.
I heard that you will be returning to the Shangshufang in a few days. That's fine. Hongye, you also need to think carefully about how to handle your relationship with your teachers and your classmates in the Shangshufang. "
Hongye nodded: "Mother, I know, my father just said so."
Buerhe: "Okay, just keep it in mind. Your sister needs to sleep for a while. Do you want to go and rest for a while too?"
Hongye shook his head: "My son is fine, not feeling tired. I won't sleep now. I want to stay with my father and mother for a while."
Hearing Hongye say this, Buerhe did not comment. He asked the servants to bring the marching chess sent from the Ulanara Mansion for the father and son to play together, while he continued to complete the unfinished net.
She was just thinking, this time about the question of whether the land is round or square, she wondered if this time would affect the policy of closing the country to the outside world. Even a history illiterate like her knew the harm of closing the country to the outside world. This policy originated in the reign of Emperor Kangxi, but she didn't know the exact time. She could only indirectly guide the prince to discover it, hoping that it would play a role!
