Li Ke stared at the fireworks in the sky and murmured softly:
"Fireworks? Why are there fireworks in Brother Qin's house? Could it be...that's right, I should have thought of it a long time ago."
Empress Xiao turned her head and glanced at her grandson beside her, and said doubtfully:
"Ke'er, do you recognize the owner of the mansion next door?"
Li Ke nodded and hummed.
Then he secretly glanced at his father, who was being held by his mother and concubine not far away, and said softly:
"His name is Qin Ming. He is sixteen years old this year. He is from Lantian County. He made suggestions to the court last year and proposed a work-for-relief method to resettle the refugees."
"At the beginning of the year, he presented horseshoes, wound suture skills, and the book "Three Character Classic" to the court. Therefore, the emperor personally awarded him the title of Male of Lantian County."
"Horseshoes and wound suturing techniques have been promoted by my father into the army, and the Three Character Classic has been engraved into a book by the imperial court and published all over the world."
"Nowadays, even the Shandong gentry who regard themselves as Confucian orthodox and have their nostrils turned to the sky have purchased the Three Character Classic in large quantities and made it a must-read for their tribe's education!"
"On the first day of February this year, he went to court for the first time and made suggestions to his father, proposing to renovate the Tang Dynasty's official roads, and took the initiative to contract the cement road from Chang'an to Lantian."
"During this period, he built a four-wheeled transport carriage, which greatly improved the capacity of transporting goods. In just ten days, he repaired more than half of the official road from Chang'an to Lantian!"
"In addition, he also wrote several poems that are so popular that they can even be passed down through the ages!"
If Qin Ming were standing here at this moment, he would definitely be very surprised. After all, although he said this method of providing relief through work, not many people really know about it.
The fact that this matter was known to Li Ke is enough to show that Li Ke, who was outside, was a philanderer, and was working hard to investigate Qin Ming.
Although Xiao Meiniang didn't know what horse iron hoofs, wound sutures, and cement were, she could hear her grandson's high regard for this person from the tone of his voice.
"Sixteen years old? Can you actually write a book? And it is regarded as a must-read for elementary school students by the Shandong gentry! How is this possible?"
"Have you ever read the Three Character Classic, my grandson?"
Li Ke nodded, and after thinking about it, he began to read in a low voice.
"In the beginning, human beings are inherently good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart."
"If you don't teach, your nature will change. The most important thing to teach is to be specialized."
"Mother Mencius once chose a neighboring place. If her son fails to learn, he will lose his opportunity."
"..."
Xiao Meiniang was greatly moved!
Was this really written by a boy who was only sixteen years old?
This article focuses on encouraging learning and not only covers many historical allusions, but also the four seasons, mountains, rivers, Confucian classics, and dynasty changes!
Just heard about the Sui Dynasty, Yi Tuyu. If it is no longer passed down, the tradition will be lost.
During this period, Xiao Meiniang couldn't help but feel a little sad!
Why did the powerful Sui Dynasty disappear just like that!
After Li Ke recited that sentence, he immediately regretted it.
Today is my grandmother's birthday, so I should skip that part.
He glanced at his grandmother and saw a sad look on her face. He couldn't help but stop reading, bowed to Xiao Meiniang, and said cautiously:
"My grandson didn't investigate for a while, so please forgive me, grandma!"
Xiao Meiniang came back to her senses after hearing this, sighed, and said lightly to Li Ke:
"It doesn't matter, it's been so many years, and grandma has long since let go."
"Besides, the person who wrote this "Three Character Classic" was just stating the facts!"
Having said this, Xiao Meiniang suddenly wanted to meet this young neighbor!
In her long life, although she has met many princes, generals, and heroes, she has never seen a talented young man like Qin Ming!
Being able to write such an article can also provide advice to the court! I think I have studied with many famous teachers!
It's just a pity that such a boy was not born decades earlier!
Li Ke looked up and saw that his grandmother's face looked better, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, he no longer had the mood to continue reciting the Three Character Classic.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Meiniang saw that Li Ke had a shaky expression and seemed to be still feeling guilty, so she changed the subject and asked:
"Did you just say that he also wrote poems?"
Li Ke nodded and said:
"Well, now there are two articles circulating in Chang'an, both of which are excellent works."
Xiao Meiniang turned to look at the fireworks in the sky and said:
"Then read it and listen."
Li Ke hummed, thought about it, and then said:
"The flowers of land and water are so lovely that they are so beautiful."
"...."
In the roaring sound, in the gorgeous night sky illuminated by fireworks.
Xiao Meiniang listened attentively, and she didn't know what she thought of these beautiful words, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of Xiao Meiniang's mouth!
After listening to this "Ailian's Story", Xiao Meiniang wanted to meet this young neighbor even more!
.....
On the other side, Concubine Yang Shu held Li Shimin's arm, rested her head gently on Li Er's shoulder, and looked up at the gorgeous scenery in the sky.
The bright light of the fireworks illuminated her pretty oval face in and out!
The beautiful peach blossom eyes are sparkling and full of brilliance!
At this moment, she no longer felt that the rumbling noise next door was scary, and she even wished that time could stand still at this moment.
Li Shimin lowered his head and glanced at Concubine Yang Shu, who was smiling like a flower beside him, and smiled.
After just a moment's hesitation, Li Shimin pulled his right hand out of the mountains.
Feeling Li Shimin's movements, a trace of surprise and disappointment flashed in Yang Shufei's eyes.
But it disappeared in an instant, because after Li Shimin's right hand moved away, it wrapped around her soft and delicate waist.
Then half of her body was pulled into Li Shimin's arms almost roughly.
So much so that the ravine between the two mountains became a little deeper.
Yang Shufei was pretty and slightly red, and she looked around cautiously.
Seeing everyone watching the fireworks in the sky, Yang Shufei breathed a sigh of relief and leaned into Li Er's arms again.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and rubbed his right hand up and down Yang Shufei's slender waist.
Concubine Yang really wins my heart!
The two took advantage of the night, amidst the gorgeous fireworks, to make small moves with each other, and the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous.
Li Shimin acted frequently in private, but on his face he looked at the sky seriously.
From the corner of his eye, he kept paying attention to Xiao Meiniang, who was chatting softly with Li Ke!
Because there were roars in the sky from time to time, Li Shimin couldn't hear what the two were talking about!
But at a certain moment illuminated by fireworks, Li Shimin actually saw a touching smile on Xiao Meiniang's face!
Li Shimin was a little dazed, and he couldn't control the strength of his right hand well, so he squeezed the peak in his hand hard.
Concubine Yang bit her lips lightly and let out a small hum. Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were already stained with a layer of mist!
The beautiful peach blossom eyes were stained with a layer of mist.
