The previously deserted house suddenly became lively due to the sudden arrival of a child.
When children of five or six were naughty, Chang Jing ran to play in the yard after getting acquainted with him for a while.
The rain stopped at noon, and there were still puddles on the floor tiles in the yard. A Tao was afraid that Changjing would slip, so he quickly followed him out to protect him.
Bai Yu'an and Bai Yuanqing were sitting in the small hall talking.
Leaning on the back of the chair, Bai Yuan took a sip of tea in his hand, then smiled at Bai Yuanqing and said, "Why did my cousin think of bringing Brother Jing here with him?"
Bai Yuanqing looked at Bai Yuanqing and said, "Originally I didn't want to take him with me, but Chang Jing hugged my legs before leaving and wanted to follow."
"I thought it would not be easy to go to Beijing. Chang Jing is my smartest son, and I also want to bring him to experience Chang Jing."
As he said this, Bai Yuanqing smiled at Bai Yu'an: "I also want you to teach him and see if he can enlighten him."
Bai Yu'an also started studying when she was five years old. On a cold day, it was still dark outside, so she was called by the girl to sit with her father under the candle and read.
Studying has always been hard work, and now she doesn't want to go through it again.
Bai Yu'an smiled and said: "I think Chang Jing is smart, cousin, don't be impatient."
Bai Yuanqing sighed: "My biggest wish in this life is to be able to get a good name. Fortunately, I also have the title of Juren, which is not too bad."
"If you can't achieve fame in this life, you can only hope for a long-term future."
Bai Yu'an looked at Chang Jing who was squatting on the ground playing in the water outside. He was thinking about it and didn't know what to say. He just smiled at Bai Yuanqing and said, "It will happen."
After dinner at night, Bai Yu'an held Chang Jing and sat on the chair in the main hall, listening to him recite the Thousand-Character Essay.
Chang Jing then recited it, shaking his head and head, and recited it word for word.
Bai Yuanqing next to him had a pleased smile on his face.
Bai Yu'an also smiled and pinched Chang Jing's little hand and asked, "What does it mean to have a quiet nature and a relaxed mood, but to have an excited heart and a tired mind?"
Chang Jing scratched his ears and said, "I don't know."
Bai Yu'an smiled and said warmly: "Zhuangzi said: A perfect person's intention is like a mirror. He does not ignore what should be done, responds without hiding it, and takes care of things without hurting them."
"Only when one has a pure and peaceful temperament and is not moved by things can one not be mentally exhausted or hurt by external objects."
Bai Yuanqing listened nearby and couldn't help but said: "Yu'an, I'm afraid Changjing doesn't understand at this age."
Bai Yu'an then laughed and said: "Changjing only knows how to recite, but he doesn't know the meaning. Even if he recites it word for word, what's the point?"
"Don't underestimate Chang Jing. Draw inferences from one example and draw inferences. Maybe he can understand."
Bai Yuanqing wanted to speak, but Chang Jing couldn't wait to say: "Father, you are quiet and relaxed, and your heart is agitated. I understand what you mean."
Bai Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "What does it mean?"
Chang Jing puffed up his chest and said, "It means you can't get angry casually and you can't hit people casually!"
Bai Yuanqing grabbed Chang Jing's ears angrily and said, "What a good boy, you actually talked about your father in a different way."
Chang Jing's ears were pinched so hard that he screamed and hid in Bai Yu'an's arms.
Bai Yu'an sat up and held Chang Jing in his arms. He smiled at Bai Yuanqing and said, "Chang Jing is smart and understands two things. Shouldn't my cousin be happy?"
Bai Yuanqing snorted and sat on the stool: "If you don't change your stubborn temper, you are afraid that your intelligence will not be on the right track."
Bai Yu'an smiled and asked A Tao to bring the pastries from Wei Ruyi's shop. After A Tao came over with the plate, he sent the plate to Chang Jing and said to Bai Yuanqing: "It's not that good. He’s five years old, cousin, don’t be impatient.”
Bai Yuanqing said: "When you were six years old, you were able to recite Confucius and Mencius by heart, and your interpretation was very clear and logical. Your uncles all praised you. As long as you are around, you will be praised by everyone."
Bai Yuanqing said with a bitter smile: "I am fifteen years older than you, and I feel a little ashamed standing next to you."
"Now you have already become an official in the Imperial Academy, and I am still just a mediocre official."
"Sitting here with you now, I feel a little ashamed."
After hearing this, Bai Yu'an hurriedly said: "How can my cousin say that? You and I are relatives, so I can't say I feel ashamed."
"Although I am in high school, I am just an ordinary person in the Imperial Academy."
"My cousin and I both have our strengths and weaknesses. My cousin should never say such things again in the future."
Bai Yuanqing smiled and nodded: "It's just a temporary feeling."
"Don't think too much about it, Yu'an."
Bai Yu'an nodded and looked at Chang Jing who was eating pastries.
The crumbs of the pastry were all sprinkled on Bai Yu'an's white robe. Bai Yu'an didn't care and asked Bai Yuanqing: "How are your relatives in your hometown doing well recently?"
Bai Yuanqing took a sip of tea and looked at Bai Yu'an: "Everything is fine in my hometown. Your father is still in good health. You don't have to worry."
He added: "Your second sister just gave birth to a girl before I left. She asked me to come over and tell you."
When Bai Yu'an heard this, she smiled and said, "I like you girl. This time during the New Year, I'm going back for a hug."
Bai Yuanqing sighed: "You haven't come back for two years, it's time to come back this year."
"When I went to visit your father this year, although your father's face was beaming with joy, he still missed you. During the dinner, he was talking about your childhood."
Bai Yu'an nodded, with a look of sadness on his face: "I'm going back."
Bai Yuanqing added: "Your mother also asked me to bring something to you. I don't know what it is, so I left it for A Tao."
A Tao quickly stood up and said, "Master, do you want to take a look now?"
Bai Yu'an said: "It's not convenient to hold Chang Jing now, let's talk about it later."
Bai Yu'an looked at Bai Yuanqing again: "I have to be on duty tomorrow. You don't have to be polite about the things in the room. Just read the book on the table in my room."
"When I take a rest the day after tomorrow, I will take you out for a walk and see the Gongyuan area."
Bai Yuanqing nodded, and the two talked for a while before getting up to freshen up.
Bai Yuanqing lives in the house where A Tao currently lives, so A Tao temporarily went to spend two days with Chen's mother.
Bai Yu'an carried Chang Jing to the door. When he was about to put him down, Chang Jing refused to get off Bai Yu'an.
He hugged Bai Yu'an and said, "uncle immortal smells good. I want to sleep with uncle immortal."
Bai Yuan has been hugging Changjing since dinner. Now he is tired, but he smiles and says: "If Changjing wants to sleep with me, then I will test you again. If you are right, I will sleep with you." ?”
As soon as these words came out, Chang Jing immediately let go of Bai Yu'an's sleeves and followed his father to the side room honestly.
Children as young as five or six years old have a tendency to like things on their faces, which come and go as quickly as they come.
Bai Yu'an stood at the door, then shook out his wrinkled robe and returned to the house.
