When a child learns to lie, it means he has grown up.
Li Qinzai was not angry. Looking at Qiao'er's serious little face, he even felt relieved. . .
Lies are not so heinous. Li Qinzai prefers that lies are a kind of armor to protect himself.
Telling lies with open eyes is an essential skill for adults. In later generations, some people gave it a very nice compliment, "high emotional intelligence."
Qiao'er looks very emotional now. At least she won't have to worry about being able to deceive beautiful women when she grows up.
It's a pity that he is too young and his lying skills are not good enough. Although he was asked how long he had been practicing calligraphy, he didn't say anything about it and said he had never left the house.
"The handwriting is good, it's getting better and better." Li Qinzai praised with a smile.
Qiao'er hummed guiltily, raised her head and glanced at him quickly, then quickly lowered her head and continued to concentrate on practicing calligraphy.
"Oh, I remember I gave you ten firecrackers years ago, have they all been set off?" Li Qinzai asked casually.
Qiao'er's hand holding the pen trembled, and the words he wrote were instantly destroyed.
"No, it's not finished, there are five left..."
Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Your father is very pleased that my son is so frugal."
After rubbing Qiao'er's head, Li Qinzai said: "Practice your calligraphy well. Calligraphy is a person's appearance. It must be written well."
"yes."
Without exposing his lie, Li Qinzai returned to the greenhouse and sat by the copper stove to warm himself up.
Butler Wu Tong was nowhere to be seen. He was probably a little shy after exposing his white butt just now.
Not long after sitting in the greenhouse, Qiao'er walked in with her head lowered and bowed as she entered.
"Dad, Qiao'er did something wrong. Please apologize to dad."
Li Qinzai didn't look at him, but used tongs to pull out an egg wrapped in hemp paper from the charcoal fire, blowing cool air while peeling off the hemp paper.
Crack open the eggshell, the white and tender eggs are very hot.
Looking at the tender appearance of the egg white, Li Qinzai suddenly thought of Butler Wu’s butt just now...
The egg he was planning to put into his mouth suddenly felt dull, so he broke off a piece and handed it to Qiao'er.
"Come on, open your mouth."
Qiao'er opened her mouth obediently and put the slightly hot egg into her mouth.
"Is it tasty?"
"tasty."
Li Qinzai continued to feed the eggs and asked calmly: "You just said you did something wrong. What did you do wrong?"
"Dad, Qiao'er was naughty today and blew up the hut in the house with firecrackers..."
"Then what?"
Qiao'er pursed her lips and said, "I just lit the firecrackers and threw them in, but I found Butler Wu rushing in. He squatted down without saying anything. Before Qiao'er could stop him, the firecrackers exploded..."
Li Qinzai nodded. The order was very important. If he ordered the firecrackers after seeing Wu Tong coming in, he would be doing evil. This kind of evil needs to be beaten.
Of course, if Nian had an uneasy conscience after he lied and took the initiative to admit his mistake, he could have been gentler when beating him.
If the firecrackers were lit first and Butler Wu rushed in later, it would be an unintentional mistake and can be forgiven.
Li Qinzai hummed and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. What I'm curious about is, why did you throw firecrackers into the latrine? Does the latrine have a mortal enemy with you?"
Qiao'er looked confused and stammered: "Qiao'er couldn't explain it. I just felt a mysterious voice in my head, calling me to blow up the hut... Actually, Qiao'er regretted it after lighting the firecrackers, but it was too late. .”
Li Qinzai unconsciously showed a look of relief.
Others can't understand it, but Li Qinzai can.
Li Qinzai also heard the mysterious voice in his head when he was young in his previous life.
The mysterious voice not only persuaded him to blow up huts, but also to blow up cow dung, chicken coops, and water tanks. In short, he had blown up everything that could and could not be blown up, like a happy demolition worker, for his hometown in the countryside. There was a puff of smoke and an outcry at every corner.
It wasn't until elementary school that he finally got out of his game and threw a firecracker into the girls' toilet, causing the girls to cry and howl, so he was asked to be a parent.
After being beaten up by my father, I finally gave up my hobby of playing firecrackers. From then on, I would change my color and avoid the tubes with leads. When I grew up, I didn't even dare to light fireworks.
He understood Qiao'er's feelings very well, and Li Qinzai knew that the mysterious voice was so confusing that the young child could not control himself at all.
Fortunately, the family had no inventory of the super firecrackers dedicated to the imperial court. Otherwise, if Qiaoer ordered a super firecracker and threw it into the latrine today, Wu Tong's end would not be as simple as showing his butt...
Wanting to laugh, but feeling that he couldn't laugh at this moment, Li Qinzai coughed twice and said, "It's a man's nature to explode shit, but you accidentally killed Butler Wu today, so you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb."
"You should be brave enough to take responsibility for what you have done wrong, so I am not the one you should apologize to."
Qiao'er understood and said anxiously: "Yes, Qiao'er will make amends with Butler Wu now... Dad, will he beat me?"
"Maybe not, maybe he will. It depends on whether he forgives you. I just said that if you do something wrong, you will always have to bear the consequences. Whether you are beaten or not, you must bear it."
Qiao'er said carefully: "Can dad accompany Qiao'er to apologize? You just need to watch from a distance, Qiao'er is a little scared..."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "Go by yourself. No matter how young a man is, he must be solely responsible for his own mistakes."
After a pause, Li Qinzai said again: "When you come back from your apology, dad will give you two pieces of persimmons and a chicken drumstick."
Qiao'er asked in confusion: "Why?"
"One code equals one code. This is a reward for your honesty."
Qiao'er dragged her anxious steps towards Wu Tong's house, turning back three times.
Li Qinzai stood still and did not move.
Li Qinzai actually doesn't know how to educate children after they make mistakes. He is also a father for the first time. But he knew that he had to make amends after he made a mistake. Today, he was the housekeeper of the house, so he would not be too harsh.
When he grows up and enters the adult world in the future, what awaits him after making a mistake is a real and loud slap in the face. For strangers and enemies will not spoil him.
Now I am trying to slowly accept the rules of adults. It is not a bad thing. At least I understand that making mistakes has to pay a price. From then on, I have awe of the word "rules". I may still make mistakes when I grow up, but I should not make fatal mistakes. .
This is enough.

When Li Ji came back from the palace, his face was a little gloomy.
At this time, Li Qinzai learned that the Japanese army sent troops and caused thousands of casualties to Tang soldiers at the mouth of Baijiang River.
Walking into the front hall, Li Ji sat tiredly in the hall, his beard and hair were all white and he looked old. Li Qinzai couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Li Qinzai stepped forward to salute and say hello, Li Qinzai said softly: "Grandpa is already old. It is better to leave the government and state affairs to others. From now on, grandpa can rest assured and enjoy his old age in the house."
Li Ji sighed: "I also feel that I have been unable to do what I want in recent years. However, the government is complicated and your Majesty has too few ministers to trust. I have to hold on until now..."
"My grandson heard that the Japanese army sent troops to Baekje, and more than a thousand of our Tang Dynasty soldiers died in the battle?"
Li Ji hummed and raised his eyes to glance at him, with an incomprehensible meaning flashing in his eyes.
"Today we have agreed to reorganize the army and prepare for war. In half a month, the king's army will march eastward. Does Qin Zai have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "My grandson has no good strategy for the time being, but I just want to say that since it has been decided that Wang Shi will march eastward to Baekje to quell the Japanese, he should give the Japanese a thunderous blow."
"Not only must we pacify the Japanese people in Baekje, but we must also bring the war to the Japanese mainland. This is in line with the Tang Dynasty's strategic goals in the east."
