Enter the school.
There are many sand tables placed inside for children to write on. The three-foot podium was covered with animal skins for teachers to sit on their knees, while the children could only use straw mats. A dozen boys stood up and looked at the two new arrivals, talking about them.
"These two look so good-looking."
"Especially the one on the left, it looks better."
"what about me?"
"You? You're a little funny..."
"..."
Qin Shihuang looked at these children and smiled helplessly. Beauty comparisons have been around since ancient times, and they are not exclusive to women. For example, Zou Ji once competed with Xu Gong.
He is now rejuvenated and still extremely handsome. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his every move carries an aristocratic temperament that is arrogant to all. In front of this ignorant child, he is simply a king!
"Azheng, come and write the character "horse"."
Qin Shihuang glanced sideways at Cao Xiu. He knew that Cao Xiu wanted to test him. Thinking of his current situation, he had no choice but to step forward, lift up the branches, and draw dragons and snakes on the sand table.
"Well, the handwriting is really ugly."
Xiao He looked at the twisted words on the sand table and shook his head repeatedly.
"Yes, if you sprinkle a handful of rice on this sand table, even the words that a chicken will peck at will look better than these words."
"If you hang a piece of meat, even a dog can chew it better than this."
“It’s quite capable to write in such ugly words.”
"Presumptuous!" Wang Jian suddenly became furious. "Your Majesty's handwriting is undoubtedly the best in the world. Even the great calligrapher Li Si is ashamed of himself."
Xiao He and Cao Xiu just said a few sarcastic words, and all these young boys followed suit. In fact, the handwriting of the First Emperor was indeed not very good. For example, during this Eastern Tour, he would occasionally carve words praising Qin De, which was all Li Si's responsibility.
But can they tell?
No matter how ugly it is, it still looks good!
This is called worldliness!
"Are they really not fools?"
Xiao He looked at Cao Xiu strangely.
"Ahem..."
Qin Shihuang frowned, but he wasn't too angry. He would not feel complacent just because the people below him were bragging. He knew how good his handwriting was.
When he was young, he was taught by Zhao, and his mother found some calligraphers for him to teach him how to write. In addition to the characters of Qin, there are also characters of Zhao, Wei, Qi... The characters of each place are different, and there are more than ten ways to write just the word "sword".
Therefore, when he was young and vigorous at that time, he was unwilling to learn, and even plausibly said, "The writings of all countries are different and they do not recognize each other. If I can take power, I will destroy all countries and abolish all these miscellaneous writings. Wouldn’t it be nice to leave one kind alone?!”
And then...then the teacher ran away.
This student’s rank is too high and I can’t teach him!
Ever since, Qin Shihuang’s handwriting became like this...
…
Cao Xiu also suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Azheng also knows some Qin laws. Why don't you give him a test?"
"oh?"
Xiao He also became interested.
If it is true as Cao Xiu said, that would be great!
He has been a Qin official for so many years and knows the importance of Qin's laws. If you want to serve as an official or a local official, you must understand the laws of Qin. It's just that Qin's laws are too complicated, and it takes a lot of hard work to understand them.
For example, the "Tian Law" governs the fields, the "Placement Law" governs the Qin officials, the "Cang Law" governs the granaries, the "Gong Law" governs the hundreds of workers, and the "Golden Law" governs the city...
"Then Mr. Nai will come to test you." Xiao He smiled faintly, "If the imperial government launches a campaign and fails to do it, how should we judge it?"
"赀(zi) Erjia!"
"It's been six to ten days since the deadline, what's the explanation?"
"Give me a shield!"
"I steal people's mulberry leaves, but I don't make a penny out of the stolen goods. What's the explanation?"
"Thirty years of corvee service."
How could these questions be so difficult for Qin Shihuang?
Many laws were formulated by him himself, and he naturally responded fluently.
The other children couldn't help but marvel at this.
"Wow, Azheng is so awesome!"
"He is good-looking and understands the laws of Qin, but his brain is not good."
"Bah! Do you have any brains?"
Xiao He also nodded in approval, looked at the proud Cao Xiu next to him, and said with emotion: "Xiu'er, you really found a treasure this time. But, their identities..."
The more outstanding Azheng performed, the more suspicious Xiao He became. An eight-year-old child can understand the laws of Qin so clearly. He can also read and write, so his background is obviously not small. Coupled with the crazy things they deliberately said, Xiao He felt even more weird. How could such a person be a simple refugee?
"Just take your time."
Cao Xiu waved his hand nonchalantly.
Regardless of their status, accept them first and then talk about it.
He didn't intend to tell the two of them many secrets. Even Xiao He and Cao Shen didn't know about the things he was planning secretly, and only a few dead soldiers knew about it. What he did was not a good thing. If it were leaked out, the whole family would be in trouble.
Of course, confidentiality measures must be taken!
…
After leaving the school, Xiao He and Cao Xiu walked in front.
"Xiu'er, have you seen Cao Shen in the past few days?"
"Ahem, cough, cough, I've never been there."
"What?"
"He just wanted to marry me." Cao Xiu smiled helplessly, "He always said that an elder brother is like a father, and he also said that I am old enough to start a family."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Actually, I have had a sweetheart for a long time."
Xiao He suddenly smiled and said, "Which girl can make you fall in love with her? In Pei County, He's words still have some weight. As long as you open your mouth, even the eldest daughter of the county magistrate can marry you."
"Stop talking, their family doesn't agree."
"Who doesn't have the eyes to disagree?"
Xiao He waved his hand immediately.
Cao Xiu is a rising star in Peixian County. Although he is just a small pavilion chief now, he will definitely have a bright future in the future. With Cao Xiu’s talent, who would disagree?
"A beloved member of her family."
"..."
Xiao He stared and almost choked to death.
The so-called beloved person also means husband.
After being stunned for a long time, he looked at Cao Xiu strangely.
"You... actually like this way?"
"..."
This time it was Cao Xiu's turn to be speechless. He was just joking and never thought that Xiao He would take it seriously.
"Bold! You know that your husband is a slave, so you are not guilty of killing him!"
Qin Shihuang suddenly became furious and jumped out. Because of his biological mother, what he hates most is the affair between a man and a woman who is clearly married but cheats on her. Therefore, special rules have been set so that it is not illegal to kill such people!
However, all he got in exchange was a blank stare from Cao Xiu.
"Go, go, let's play."
Xiao He stopped and said extremely seriously: "It's a joke, but you must never think of this, otherwise I won't be able to protect you. But you are an adult, so you should consider this matter."
Cao Xiu stood with his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance. There are many reasons why he is not married now. Apart from not meeting the right person, the main reason is because he is someone who wants to do big things. If you get married early, you will be dragged down. Unlike Liu Bang, he couldn't abandon his wife and children when fleeing for his life, so he simply refused to marry.
"As the saying goes, a wise man never falls in love, and wrongdoers repeat the same mistakes. Xiu'er has made great achievements along the way and built a beautiful Qin Kingdom!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
The breeze blows.
Xiao He and the three of them were all messed up in the wind.
Tianxiu! ! !
