Apart from knocking on the widow's door, Li Qinzai didn't think anything else was so immoral.

Whose child didn’t do this in his previous life?

Li Qinzai spent his previous life as a child in the countryside. He used firecrackers to blow up cow dung, waiting for someone to pass by before blowing up. The cow dung exploded with a loud bang, and the sour taste splashed all over his body...

Of course, the consequences are also serious. A beating is inevitable, and sometimes two.

As for going down the river to catch fish, climbing up a tree to dig out bird's nests, naked buttocks and friends peeing on pedestrians passing under the fence... these are all daily operations, don't do it six times.

No one can define exactly how to spend a happy childhood.

Anyway, although Li Qinzai received a lot of beatings from his parents in his childhood, looking back now, he is still very happy.

Perhaps because of this happy memory, he was able to maintain a positive attitude and face it with a smile no matter how difficult the situation was when he grew up.

People who had a happy childhood always love life and always smile towards the sun, because they can always find the joy of life in the gaps of difficulties.

The blooming of a wild flower can bring wonderful meaning to one's life. You only have one life, so why spend it with a sad face?

So should buckwheat.

I'm not afraid that he'll get into trouble by having fun, but I'm afraid that he'll be too disciplined, which is not a good thing for a child.

Li Ji and Li Qinzai were sitting in the study room chatting. Qiao'er became curious about the furnishings in the study room and kept looking at them with her clear eyes.

Li Ji noticed Qiao'er's expression and couldn't help but smile: "If Qiao'er likes it, you can look at it and touch it in your great-grandfather's study. Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter if your things are broken or broken."

Qiao'er shook his head, smiled shyly, and then sat down on his knees, no longer looking casually.

Li Ji sighed and said to Li Qinzai: "This child is too cautious. He has a good upbringing, but he doesn't look like a child."

Li Qinzai nodded. Li Jiji had a sharp eye and saw the crux of Qiao'er's problem at a glance.

Li Ji sighed again: "When you were that old, you already learned how to pee on the solitary classics in my study. You destroyed a lot of my collection with a little boy's urine. You were beaten up by your father and still didn't repent. The next day I came to urinate again, and I used my study room as a latrine..."

After finishing speaking, Li Ji smiled and looked back. Li Qinzai couldn't help but suspect that the old man secretly drank his own boy's urine. The taste... wasn't bad?

So Li Qinzai asked tentatively: "If grandpa thinks that the fine traditions of our Li family should be passed down from generation to generation, my grandson will ask Qiao'er to spread some fresh ones in your study?"

Li Ji laughed and scolded: "Get out! You are the most useless person in the Li family for several generations!"

A rare moment of laughter and harmony between grandparents and grandchildren.

Li Ji's gaze towards Qiao'er became softer and softer. The face that was almost identical to Li Qinzai soon aroused Li Ji's love.

Although Qiao'er was only an illegitimate child, he was still a member of the Li family's bloodline. The calling of bloodline from the bottom of his heart made Li Ji feel happy and cherished from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that Li Ji seemed to be in a good mood, Li Qinzai took the opportunity to ask a question that had been hanging on his mind for a long time.

"Grandpa, what exactly were Lin Nu's parents guilty of? Why did the family end up like this?"

Li Ji's smile faded and he sighed solemnly: "Lin Nu's parents... were also unlucky and suffered a sudden misfortune."

Li Ji slowly said that it turned out that Lin Nu's surname was Han, and her father Han Wei was originally a Jinshi in the 21st year of Zhenguan. The scientific examination system at that time was not very perfect. Before the scientific examination, children from poor families had to submit bank papers to powerful people to get their approval and approval. It is recommended that you can become an official in the end.

Han Wei submitted the documents of the Li Ji family back then. At that time, Li Ji was also the second most famous figure in the military after Li Jing in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Taizong Li Shimin had a broad mind and was eager for talents.

Li Jidang even recommended Han Wei to Li Shimin.

Han Wei was also successful, and he was indeed on the list after the scientific examination. Li Ji admired his literary talent and talent, so he was recommended as the magistrate of Qingyang County.

He served as county magistrate for five or six years, and he had a good reputation as an official. Li Ji also heard about it in Chang'an City, and he couldn't help but appreciate Han Wei more and more.

He was planning to find an opportunity to recommend Han Wei to the emperor and promote him to an official position. Unexpectedly, the Han family encountered a disaster.

In the fourth year of Yonghui, Li Shimin had passed away and Li Zhi had ascended the throne for four years. Princess Gaoyang and King Jing Li Yuanjing were involved in rebellion. Fang Yiai, the second son of the late prime minister Fang Xuanling, panicked when he was investigated by an official. He decisively betrayed his teammates and killed Princess Gaoyang and a group of accomplices confessed.

At that time, it was also discovered that Princess Gaoyang secretly asked Chen Xuanyun, the commander of Yeting, to inquire about the celestial phenomena, deduce the stars, and perform witchcraft to curse the emperor.

This is a serious crime, a non-negotiable crime of decapitation.

After the incident, Princess Gaoyang, King Jing Li Yuanjing, Fang Yiai and other party members were inevitably killed.

Ye Tingling Chen Xuanyun naturally cannot escape death. Since Chen Xuanyuan is a direct participant in the rebellion, it is not over after his death, and the three clans will be pursued and punished.

Unfortunately, Han Wei was a member of Chen Xuanyun's mother's family, so Han Wei's family was also imprisoned. Then Han Wei and his wife were executed, and all the women and children in the family were thrown into the inner church as slaves and prostitutes.

Li Ji couldn't save Han Wei. After all, the matter involved rebellion and he was too sensitive.

But he also knew that this was an unreasonable disaster, and he couldn't bear to see Han Wei's daughter and relatives as slaves and prostitutes, so he came forward to intercede with Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was a tolerant emperor. After the matter was clarified, he also knew that the rebellion had nothing to do with Han Wei. With the current national laws, it was inevitable for the three clans to be guilty of rebellion. As for his daughter and relatives who were innocently affected, Li Zhi still looked at Li Ji's face. Let it go.

Lin Nu and several women and children of the Han family saved their lives. Li Ji arranged for several women and children to live in Zhuangzi. Lin Nu volunteered to become a slave in the Li Mansion to repay the kindness of the Li family. Li Ji could not refuse, so he had to leave. she.

The fate between Li Qinzai and Lin Nu was born from this.

After Li Ji finished speaking, there was a long silence in the study.

Li Qinzai took a long breath.

The sweetheart passed away, leaving only his only son. Perhaps it was God's will. Not only did he have to pay for his past self, but God would not allow him to lie down and become a waste in this world.

Qiao'er became his fetter, his weakness, the rein that could pull him hard when he let himself run wild.

Touching Qiao'er's head, Li Qinzai suddenly smiled and murmured: "Everything is the best arrangement..."

Qiao'er didn't understand and looked at him confused.

…………

The Li family is not short of money, food, or housing.

It was not difficult to arrange Qiao'er's food and accommodation. Li Qinzai took him back to his yard.

In the huge Li Mansion, this well-located courtyard is a world that belongs exclusively to Li Qinzai.

The difficulty is that Li Qinzai has no experience in taking care of young children. He does not know what to do when taking care of young children. He can only piece together some matters based on the memories of his previous life.

Qiao'er entered the house and sat down on her knees in an orderly manner, looking intently like an eminent monk.

The small appearance and the calm and profound temperament of a monk look both contradictory and cute.

After ordering the housekeeper to be called over, Li Qinzai told Wu Tong to immediately invite a famous tailor from Chang'an City to tailor Qiao'er's clothes and make some new clothes and shoes.

He also asked Wu Tong to select a few gentle and sensible maids from the mansion and send them to Li Qinzai's yard to take care of Qiao'er's daily life.

"By the way, bring a lactating ewe and keep it in the yard. From now on, Qiao'er will have to drink goat's milk every morning and evening to keep her body strong." Li Qinzai added.

Wu Tong hurriedly agreed.

"Does Qiao'er have some literacy skills?" Li Qinzai suddenly asked.

Qiao'er lowered his head and said, "Grandma taught me enlightenment."

"You memorize what I taught you."

Qiao'er stood up, put her hands behind her back, and carried it with a cute milky voice.

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing and waning, the stars and stars are arranged..."

The words are clear, sonorous and powerful. It is obvious that he has memorized them countless times and is familiar with them.

Li Qinzai said hurriedly: "Okay, stop, stop!"

Qiao'er stopped and knelt down as before, straightening her back and saying nothing.

Li Qinzai knew that Qiao'er memorized the Thousand-Character Classic, which was created by Zhou Xingsi, a regular servant of Sanqi in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It was listed as an enlightenment book for young children in the Tang Dynasty.

The enlightenment of scholars in this era all started with the Thousand-Character Classic.

"Do you understand the meaning of this thousand-character article?" Li Qinzai asked curiously.

Qiao'er lowered his head and said in shame: "Father, please forgive me, Qiao'er doesn't understand. It was grandma who asked Qiao'er to carry..."

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Where's the writing? Can you write?"

"Qiao'er recognized a dozen characters and could write them."

After asking a few questions, Li Qinzai roughly understood Qiao'er's level of education.

Well, probably semi-literate.

After pondering for a long time, Li Qinzai said slowly: "Since you can memorize the Thousand-Character Classic, there is no need to learn it anymore. I will prepare some basic enlightenment reading materials to teach you how to read and write."

"yes."

Touching Qiao'er's head, Li Qinzai said seriously: "Qiao'er, no matter what your background is or what hardships you face in this life, you can never slack off in your studies."

"I don't have high demands on you. I will help you take care of the great disaster you caused. There are only two things, one is 'moral character' and the other is 'reading'. These two things cannot be neglected."

Qiao'er seemed to hear the seriousness in Li Qinzai's words, so she faced Li Qinzai and bowed awkwardly.

"Qiao'er will keep this in mind, thank you father for your teachings." His little face tightened, as if he was performing some mysterious ritual, and his expression became sacred.

Li Qinzai asked curiously: "Do you understand everything?"

Qiao'er's eyes suddenly flashed a bit of helplessness and fear, and then her mouth tightened and she wanted to cry, but she tried her best to hold it back.

"Qiao'er just remembered my father's teachings, but Qiao'er doesn't understand..." Qiao'er said aggrievedly.

Li Qinzai laughed and rubbed his head.

What can a child under five years old understand?

In his previous life, when Li Qinzai was five years old, if someone told him these big principles that he didn't understand, he would take off his pants on the spot and soak them in child urine. He was so unruly, otherwise what would be the use of this iron rod.

Compared with Qiao'er, who was so sensible and heart-wrenching in front of him, Li Qinzai couldn't help but feel that he had lived in a dog's belly for his entire life.

"Qiao'er..."

"exist."

Li Qinzai sighed helplessly: "Can you please stop being so sensible? It's very difficult for me to deal with you like this."

Qiao'er looked confused and confused.

Li Qinzai said depressedly: "I have no dignity at all. Can't you just act like a normal little bastard, causing trouble all over the world, and then be beaten up by me?"

Qiao'er was still confused and said: "Father, Qiao'er doesn't understand..."

Li Qinzai pointed to the top of his head and said, "What is above our heads?"

Qiao'er looked up and said, "There are beams."

"Where is it on the rafters?"

"There are roof tiles."

Li Qinzai took Qiao'er's little hand with a smile and said, "Let's go, my father will take you to the house to unveil the tiles."
