"Playing Song"/Chunxi Di Xiao
Chapter 8
The exchange on the question of "Are we exposed the suffix?" came to an abrupt end, and both of them tacitly stopped mentioning this matter. What else can be done if they mentioned it? What should be exposed will still be exposed. It is not a bad thing to be a little ahead of others as appropriate.
Sima Yan took out the seeds brought by the king.
These seeds include medicinal, edible, and ornamental purposes. When Wang Tou went back to buy them, he said that he only had a little bit of each one and gave him a portion. The amount was too small and the people refused to give him a pack, so he simply wrote down the types. He went home and made many small paper bags of two fingers wide and wrote them one by one. He went to buy them the next day! The stall owners thought that this child was really rare, and most of them wanted to collect some money, and even gave him a pair of them for free.
Sima Yan pondered for a moment, pointed to the direction of the kitchen and said, "We will build a green shed outside, otherwise it may not be able to grow in the middle of winter." She picked a pack of leek seeds and conservatively estimated, "It's better to buy more leek seeds tomorrow, as this may be easier to live."
Wang Xinran agreed. Scrambled eggs with leeks are fragrant and strong!
When the two of them had an idea, they looked for materials everywhere. Sima Yan chose the ground near the kitchen, which was warm when cooking and fired, and the temperature was guaranteed. The translucent film did not exist, and it would definitely be beaten with cloth. It seemed that it would have to be manipulated to take into account both lighting and cold protection. The two children used firewood to build a shelf, and used a solid and slender straw rope to tie a bunch of rice poles, bamboo leaves, and dry ferns to make a "roof" that can be easily uncovered.
In this way, when the sun is good, you can lift the roof to make it grow well. When the weather is bad and after nightfall, you can cover the roof to prevent cold and keep warm. Wang has never designed such a small project, but after knowing the requirements, it is naturally a slight meaning to him.
Unfortunately, they were too young. After a lot of work, sweat was leaking from Sima Yan and Wang's foreheads.
The king sighed: "It is not easy for working people."
Sima Yan also felt that his claws were sour and soft, and nodded in agreement. It was getting late, so the two of them covered the ceiling, washed their hands, and went back to the room to watch Wang Anshi and the others speak.
The two children were making a fuss there just now, and a few parents even went to the window to peek at it. Seeing that their son and daughter had enough fun, Wang Anshi asked with a smile: "What are you two doing? Are you building a house?"
"Yes!" Wang stood up and replied responsibly, "The weather is too cold. Sister Ayan said that the seeds feel cold underground and definitely refused to come out, so we built a warm shed for them. When they find it is very warm outside, they will definitely come out obediently!"
Sima Guang smiled and said, "This idea is very good. There are greenhouses in the palace that specializes in planting fruits and vegetables in winter. During the Chinese New Year, the officials will also reward some of the meritorious officials."
Wang and Sima Yan didn’t find it strange that the ancients also had greenhouse planting. People’s Chinese studies also had big and small tests, monthly tests, final tests, like later generations!
Sima Guangshuo Wang Anshi's family had a meal and personally sent them to the door.
Wang was in a great mood when he got home. When he got home, he counted the distance from the Imperial College to the public rental housing seriously and said to Wang Anshi: "It's less than two hundred steps from the Imperial College at home. Dad, I want to go to the Imperial College tomorrow to find Sister Ayan. You don't have to take me, I'll go there myself."
Wang Anshi refused to comment.
Wang actively tiptoed on his short legs and pinched Wang Anshi's shoulders. He had already thought of it and said: "I and Sister Ayan have planted the seeds today. I have to go and see if they have sprouted every day!"
"It's done," Wang Anshi glanced at him sideways, "I memorized a passage of "The Analects of Confucius" every day and recited it. When I went out in the morning, I would take you to the gate of the Imperial College."
Wang's eyes are swaying. The first key is to cheat and play tricks. For any task arranged by the leader, you'd better not behave easily, and don't finish it in advance. Otherwise, the next task will be doubled~
He suddenly looked embarrassed, his little face wrinkled, and said in embarrassment: "Do you still have to memorize it? I'm afraid I can't remember it."
Wang Anshi said leisurely: "Don't you remember it clearly in the morning? You should not look at it or say it inappropriately. You are very polite."
Wang Yiran ran to the desk and sat down, muttering, "If you carry it, just carry it."
The next day, the king remembered that he had not asked what the "Analects of Confucius" was. He estimated it and recited the chapter on the politics of the latter part of the Xueer chapter to Wang Anshi, "I am determined to learn at thirty, established at thirty, not confused at forty, know the destiny at fifty, understand the destiny at sixty, follow the ears at seventy, and follow the orders at seventy."
Wang Anshi's face had not changed, and he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or not. He glanced at Wang: "Just keep this in mind?"
Wang looked at his father with a look of pity, helplessness and innocent: "I'm much older! I've memorized it all night and I've been up early and reviewed it several times."
Seeing that his son didn't seem to be lying, Wang Anshi nodded: "Sure, I'll take you there." In fact, yesterday I saw the two children playing so well. Wang Anshi had already mentioned this to Sima Guang. No one knows his son, and how could Wang hide his little thoughts from him? Children always like to play, and it's not a problem to be kept at home. Wang Anshi said, "Uncle Sima's family has a lot of books, and your sister Ayan is also literate. If you two don't want to play with mud, you can read more books."
Wang seriously refuted: "We are not playing with mud!" They are growing leeks seriously! How good are the leeks, they have been cut and grown one after another, they are easy to grow and delicious, and they are very beautiful!
Wang Anshi did not squeeze him anymore, led him to the gate of the Imperial College, greeted the concierge, and turned around and left without hesitation.
This time, he entered the Imperial College openly. Wang ran in with his small breasts and touched Sima Guang's door in a familiar way. He was about to knock on the door, but by chance, Sima Guang was about to give lectures, but opened the door from inside.
Sima Guang smiled and said, "Oh, here we are. Your father said yesterday that you will definitely come here today. I just told your aunt to remember to open the door for you."
When Wang heard this, he didn't know that he had been fooled. His father had expected that he would come to play with his sister A Yan, and he said hello to Sima Guang! He was just memorizing a passage of "The Analects of Confucius" before leaving the door, which was just a pity for him!
Wang angrily complained to Sima Guang: "It turns out that my father had thought I would come here long ago. He told me last night that he asked me to memorize the "Analects of Confucius" before he asked me to come, which made me recite it all night!"
Sima Guang was amused by the king's anger and couldn't help but ask, "Where did you recite it?"
"I memorized that Confucius was determined to learn the sentence at the age of fifteen." When I mentioned what I had just finished memorizing, Wang Xing vigorously gave Sima Guang arithmetic problem. "Uncle Sima and Confucius were determined to learn at the age of fifteen. Can I play for another twelve years?"
Sima Guang: “…”
If it were his son, he would definitely do something like Wang Anshi to trick him. This kid is smart, but it’s useless!
After a handful of small land, Wang enthusiastically sent Sima Guang to class with the Imperial College students and went in to say hello to Zhang. Sima Yan also had breakfast early, and there was no sign of snow on that day, so the two of them went to lift the roof of the greenhouse.
The mud that had been sown was still quiet and there was no movement at all. After looking at it for a while, they knew very well that it would be impossible to see the leek seeds sprouting in a while. Since they didn't plan to fill it all up, Wang and Sima Yan said to Zhang and went into Sima Guang's study to find a book to read.
The two children were only three years old. Zhang cooked tea and took needlework to stay aside. Wang Zaijia also had the treatment that his mother had specifically guarded. He didn't feel uncomfortable. He whispered in front of the bookshelf with Sima Yan, whispering in front of the bookshelf. Compared to Wang Anshi, who was poor and often had to borrow books to read, Sima Guang's family was obviously much more wealthy, and the history books alone had put on a full air.
Wang and Sima Yan said: "No wonder your father was able to write that large chronicle. I was dizzy just by seeing this shelf."
Sima Yan deeply agreed.
The two of them picked and chose, found some books with few words and pictures, and ran to the desk to continue reading together. Occasionally, when Zhang gave them some candied fruits, they took a look, and they saw various concise and easy-to-understand illustrations.
When Sima Guang came back in the evening, Zhang mentioned the two children to him, saying that they went to see if the seeds sprouted in the morning, and then went to the study to read together. Zhang praised: "I have never seen a boy who is more obedient than this child, and he has not made any trouble at all."
Sima Guang remembered some of the "glorious deeds" mentioned by Wang Anshi and smiled and said, "Let's take a look."
The facts proved that Sima Guang was still very prescient. After a few days of running to Sima Guang's house, Wang was no longer satisfied with reading Miaoer.
At the end of the reading time every day, Wang began to take Sima Yan outside to meet his new friends. Sima Guang's family is the "teacher dormitory" of IUZI. The rented professors are all from IUZI. They are old and young, but those who have no grandchildren have sons and those who have no sons have daughters.
After Wang's perseverance instigation, these naughty children began to run out on time and followed the king to the house to remove the tiles every day. Sima Yan was originally a quiet person, and after a few days of making trouble, he became much more lively. They were only three or four years old, and no matter how he made a fuss, no one would scold them!
Wang Anshi officially refused to take the library exam that day. When he got home, he saw Wang Youdeng coming to squeeze his shoulders and massage his back with a shy face. Wang Anshi said, "What other bad things have you done?"
The king complained to himself: "Am I such a person?"
Wang Anshi looked at him squintly, meaning "Aren't you such a person?"
Alas, I can't hide anything from my father. It's bad to be too close! Wang could only take out a piece of paper from his arms and say to Wang Anshi: "Dad, look, a bookseller wants to buy the cards made by my sister Ayan and I, and I will use them to print them for sale. I asked him to write the contract book. Do you think there is any problem with what you wrote? No problem, my sister Ayan and I signed it, and you and Uncle Sima will be a witness!"
Wang Anshi is so weird, what brand can be sold for money?
