9th Story 7
Neither Shi Qing nor Dai Chenping were unwilling, but Mr. Liu said, “You have to think about it. Once Chenping is adopted into the Liu family, you will not be able to be a mother and son outside.”
Chenping and Dai Ye broke up, but why didn’t Dai Chenping and Shi Qing also break up?
“It’s okay, it’s just a name.” Shi Qing said quickly, Dai Chenping came out of her stomach, as long as you still care about her, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have this name.
When Dai Ye asked Dai Chenping and Dai Chen’an to call Wen Qianyu “mother”, she didn’t particularly object, because it was good for her two.
“Mother.” Dai Chenping was a little hesitant.
He has always known that his mother is very good to him. From childhood to adulthood, when his mother has a little delicious food, she will saved for him and his younger brother. He has read a lot of books in recent years, and he knows how to be a human being.
If he couldn’t even call his mother a mother, what filial piety would he be? For a while, Dai Chenping hesitated.
“Ping’er, you just stopped calling me mother but you didn’t cut off your relationship with me, so why should you care?” Shi Qing said, Mr. and Mrs. Liu are good people, and they are willing to let her live here.
“Ping’er, we don’t have to pay so much attention to it in private.” Mr. Liu smiled when he saw Dai Chenping hesitant, saying that even if Dai Chenping was still called Shi Qingniang in private, it would be fine as long as he inherited the incense for him and his son.
His son has been dead for a long time. After he and his old wife pass away, I am afraid that no one will remember his child… After adopting a child, some people will still think about his child: “Actually, we originally planned to adopt before. It took me a few years to find someone who has already married, and Ping’er is a good boy.”
Mu Ling also understood Mr. Liu’s thoughts. Many people in this ancient times were very concerned about things after death. They felt that after they died, someone had to throw a pot of incense on them, or else they might not be able to reincarnate, or they might have a bad life in the underworld and have no food to eat or money to spend.
She once had such an idea, so she adopted Wei Jingyao after she was infertile, and wanted Wei Jingyao to give her old age and death. The so-called Da Che Dawu just thinks that the big deal is going to hell after death… Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu are already very enlightened people, but they will definitely plan for themselves and their sons.
In a few more years, they want to adopt a side branch who has already married and established a business before they die. They think it is to prevent the person from adopting too early so that to get involved in something that attracts suspicion from the emperor, and also to observe those side branches for more time— Generally speaking, at the age of getting married, you can basically see the character.
However, they now have a better choice – Dai Chenping.
My Ling deliberately guided Shi Qing and Dai Chenping to honor Mr. Liu just for such a day.
Mr. Liu was still waiting for Dai Chenping’s answer.
Adopting someone who hasn’t gotten along very much is certainly not as good as adopting someone who has been cultivated by himself… Moreover, Mr. Liu is not reconciled to the obscurity of his descendants. Now that Dai Chenping is still young, he might as well bring Dai Chenping to the emperor. Who Dai Chenping will follow in the future will be decided by the emperor.
Dai Chenping has been instructed by Mr. Liu for several years, and has great respect for Mr. Liu. Now that Mr. Liu has said it so clearly, after thinking about it, he agreed.
He actually knew very well that this was a pie in the sky for him and his mother! Today, he is no longer the person who felt that being a teacher can be satisfied. He wants more.
The next day was the day when Mr. Liu entered the palace. This time he entered the palace and brought Dai Chenping with him.
Mr. Liu is old and no longer involved in the court. Today, the emperor asked him for a chat, but there are some things that one can’t say. This time, when he saw Mr. Liu with a child by his side, he called the youngest seventh prince came to play with Dai Chenping, and he had a good chat with Mr. Liu himself.
Dai Chenping followed the seventh prince around the palace several times. At first, he guarded the etiquette of monarchs and ministers and did not dare to say much. The ten-year-old seventh prince also held the air, and the two strolled quietly in the imperial garden. Only occasionally said a few words about the various flowers in the garden, until Dai Chenping saw a bunch of canna.
The lush big-leaf canna bloomed with yellow or red flowers, which looked very beautiful. Dai Chenping’s eyes were involuntarily attracted to it.
“This is a canna. The brighter the sun is, the brighter it is.” The seventh prince found that Dai Chenping was paying attention to the canna, and was obviously a little happy: “It is said that the canna is made of blood from the Buddha’s toe. It is the Buddha who reminded everyone to be persevering and unyielding in the scorching summer.”
“So there is such a saying, Your Highness is really knowledgeable and talented.” Dai Chenping said immediately.
“This is what my mother said. I think you know this canna, what were you thinking before?” The seventh prince was a little curious.
“His Royal Highness, there are many cannas growing in Xiaomin’s hometown, but Xiaomin didn’t know that it has such a beautiful name.” Dai Chenping said.
This canna grows a lot on the corner of the wall in his hometown, because it is easy to feed and blooms beautifully. Many people will plant some in front of their home, or they will not plant it deliberately, but it still grow there.
It has been three years since he left his hometown, and now he really misses him.
“That’s it, you always remember this canna, and you must love flowers.” Although the seventh prince looked like a little adult, his dark eyes were very agile when he looked at Dai Chenping, which made him feel cute. .
“It’s not that… Your Highness, when this Xiaomin was a child… he used it to eat.” Dai Chenping smiled.
“Is this flower still edible?”
“It’s not that the flower can be eaten, it’s the nectar that can be eaten. When you pick the flower and suck it down, you can suck the sweet nectar.” Dai Chenping said, probably because of this, he is very fond of this kind of flower. They were particularly impressed, and their children in the countryside also liked this flower very much.
In the countryside, he never had a chance to eat snacks. Although this kind of sweet nectar was rare, it also made him miss it very much.
The seventh prince blinked and wanted to pick the flowers.
Dai Chenping accompanied the Seventh Prince to pick flowers and tasted the nectar together. After that, Mr. Liu took him out of the palace, and then his household registration fell to the name of Mr. Liu’s son, and even entered the family tree. Since then, he was not Dai Chenping, but Liu Ping.
Liu Ping participated in the childbirth test and won the first name. At the same time, the story of Mr. Liu adopting a grandson spread in the capital, and Liu Ping also attracted much attention.
However, his life is still the same as before, and he continues to study with Mr. Liu every day to enrich himself. Two years later, he took the Xiucai exam again, and he was still the first.
The fourteen-year-old scholar is not so amazing, but the current sage has commend him, and even appointed him as the companion of the seventh prince.
Liu Ping officially entered the officialdom this year, and at the same time, Dai Ye was reprimanding his son.
“Look at other people, he were admitted to the scholar at the age of fourteen and became the prince’s companion. You have been studying for so many years, what have you learned? Even if you were asked to write an essay, you even scribbled and corrected the sentence and still doesn’t make sense!” Dai Ye threw a piece of paper in front of Dai Chen’an and glared at his son. Dai Chen’an looked very smart, but I didn’t expect that it was actually an embroidered pillow and a bag of grass. After reading books for so many years, I didn’t get any results!
Dai Chen’an didn’t dare to look directly at Dai Ye, lowered his head and didn’t speak, but he was a little resentful. He couldn’t read well so much and he was only studying with an old scholar, how could he expect him to be trained like a great Confucian? Be as good as other people?
“Stretch out your hand!” Dai Ye said again, and after Dai Chen’an stretched out his hand, the ruler in his hand was hit hard.
Dai Chen’an was able to endure it at first, but after Dai Ye’s fight became worse, he couldn’t help crying and begged for mercy: “Father, I don’t dare, I will definitely study hard in the future!”
Dai Chen’an cried with snot and tears. Dai Ye couldn’t help but get angry when he looked at him like this. How hard did he himself studying before? Almost sleepless nights. How could such a son who doesn’t know how to study hard was put on the table? And a sloppy look, it must be like Shi Qing!
Wen Qianyu has been outside the study, listening to the movement inside and knowing that Dai Ye’s fight is almost over, she quickly brought someone in, and then began to persuade Dai Ye: “Okay, sir, don’t be too angry with the child.
” At that time, Dai Chen’an’s hand was already swollen. Dai Ye glanced at his son’s pitiful appearance, and felt a little distressed. With this steps down, he finally threw away the ruler and did not continue to find trouble.
“An’er, did your father hurt you? Let mother take a look.” Wen Qianyu walked over to Dai Chen’an and looked at Dai Chen’an with concern, but her four-year-old son threw himself into Dai Ye’s the arms: “Father!”
When Dai Ye saw his little son who is still growing up, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he started talking to the little son.
The child could answer Dai Ye’s questions, and he recited the Three Character Classic in a milky voice. Dai Ye looked at him with a smile in his eyes – as expected, the youngest son born to him by Wen Qianyu was the best.
Dai Chen’an felt a little resentful when he saw this scene. If his mother was as knowledgeable and talented as Wen Qianyu, he wouldn’t be bad at reading now.
Dai Ye took his young son to study, and Dai Chenan returned to his residence angrily. Thinking of the scene where his father coaxed his younger brother in the study, he secretly made up his mind to study hard and let his father looked at him with admiration.
He made up his mind, but not long after he returned to the room, the servant next to him took out a book from his body: “Master, I bought a good thing outside today!”
“Good thing? What good thing is it? ” Dai Chen’an asked curiously, took the booklet to read.
This booklet is a very popular novel. It tells the story of a poor scholar who encounters a rich lady by chance and is favored by the wealthy lady, but is obstructed by his father-in-law. In the story, the poor scholar strives to improve, takes the exam, and finally returns to marry the rich lady, who originally despised by her father. And her father did not dare to be disrespectful to him at this time.
Although Dai Chen’an is still unable to write a single word, and is not good at writing poetry or writing, this is mainly because he is not working hard enough. He has been studying for five years. He recognizes at most all those words but occasionally does not recognize them but he can also guess the meaning by looking at the text before and after, and soon read it with relish, completely forgetting what he had thought about studying hard to impress Dai Ye.
In Wen Qianyu’s room, Wen Qianyu asked the mama next to her: “How is the little bunny?”
“He’s reading.” The mama gave her wife some color.
“I knew that he was a muddy person who couldn’t support the wall. You’ll give him some lewd and erotic songs in the future… At this age, he will grow up very quickly.” Wen Qianyu said, and touched her stomach again. I already have a son and a daughter, and there is another one in my stomach. Now the most unsightly thing is that others stop in front of my child.
“Madam is wise.” The mama immediately complimented her. She also felt that the son of a village woman was not worthy to be compared with her young master.
“Is there still no news about Shi Qing?” Wen Qianyu asked suddenly. She had not remembered this person for a long time, but when she talked about Dai Chen’an today, she remembered her again.
When Dai Ye let Shi Qing leave, he wanted to see if there were other people behind Shi Qing, who might be able to turn those people into an army, but Shi Qing actually disappeared!
Shi Qing, a woman with only one hundred taels of silver, who didn’t know a single big character, went missing with her child!
Wen Qianyu couldn’t figure out what was going on, but fortunately she didn’t intervene in this matter, so Dai Ye couldn’t suspect her. It’s just that Shi Qing can no longer be found, and Dai Chenping is also gone. In this case, if she takes Dai Chen’an away from her own eyes, she will probably be criticized, in the end she can only pinch her nose and make “Good” Di mother.
She cares about Dai Chen’an and never scolds him, but she is still “better” to her own son!
“Madam, that Shi Qing may have been sold to somewhere. Even if she comes back, the master will not recognize her. Madam doesn’t need to worry about her anymore.” The mama said.
Wen Qianyu also thought of this layer, and immediately felt relieved.
Although Dai Ye didn’t like Shi Qing or even looked down on Shi Qing at that time, she was actually grateful to Shi Qing, so he brought Shi Qing and his two sons to the capital, but now Shi Qing has been outside for five years for no apparent reason. Dai Ye could still think about this woman.
Shi Qing, who was mentioned by Wen Qianyu, was sorting out Mrs. Liu’s articles over the years.
In fact, Mrs. Liu’s talent is not inferior to Mr. Liu, but Mr. Liu is a man, so he is famous all over the world, but many of Mrs. Liu’s works have been kept in the boudoir to enjoy.
Shi Qing felt a pity when she saw those works, so she suggested that they could be assembled into a book and then printed, and Mrs. Liu agreed.
They don’t seek fame, but they just don’t want these works to be dusted, so they finally plan to use another name to publish a book.
“Let’s call it Master Wutao.” Mrs. Liu smiled when she saw the five peach trees outside the window, and suddenly looked at Shi Qing again: “I remember that you also wrote some articles. Would you like to publish them together like me?”
“Those things I wrote are hard to find…” Shi Qing refused immediately. She often listened to Mu Ling’s stories. Later, when she had time, she wrote those stories, and some of them were polished according to Mu Ling’s opinions.
But it’s just some stories, they don’t have much literary talent, how can they publish a book?
“I think you’ve written all good stories. We’ll change names anyway, so don’t worry too much.” Mrs. Liu said, then rolled her eyes: “In this case, you should have a name too let’s think think about it.”
Shi Qing heard that her article could be printed in a book, and she was a little moved, and finally said: “Then call it Qingping Sanren.”
“Good name!” Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
Although the two had agreed on this matter, it would be a long time before the poems of the Wotau master and the story of the Qingping Sanren were circulated in the market. In that year, sixteen-year-old Liu Pingzhong won as Yuan, and the scenery was infinite.
Mr. Liu grandson, officially appeared in front of everyone at this time. Those princes whose eyes were red in the struggle for the throne also focused their attention on him. Even if he was the companion of the seventh prince, he did not relax. His winning also makes the seventh prince win together.
However, Liu Ping ignored other the princes, and continued to be the companion of the seventh prince. He was very low-key, and the seventh prince was the same.
Of course this is just the surface.
“Mother, the improved textile machine you told me last time is very useful. After His Highness the Seventh Highness has someone ready to present it to the emperor, the emperor will be delighted.” Liu Ping immediately said when he saw Shi Qing.
Sixteen-year-old Liu Ping’s demeanor is outstanding, and he is completely different from the nine-year-old country boy at the time. Anyone who sees him now will praise Mr. Pian Pian Jia (elegant, gentleman).
Every time Shi Qing sees her son, she will be very proud, and she is the same now: “It’s good that your majesty likes it, have you and the seventh prince made anything else?”
Liu Ping looked at Shi Qing and found that his mother looked calm. As if she didn’t know at all how “useful” the textile machine she gave, he felt that he had thought too much before.
Jinshang attaches great importance to farming, farming and weaving, and is determined to make all the people live a good life. Things like textile machines are definitely good things that can make Jinshang impress. Therefore, when Shi Qing just told him, his first reaction was that he could use this thing to make the Seventh Prince treat His Majesty differently.
His mother also gave him a few other things. He originally thought that his mother had the same thoughts as him, but now as he thinks about it, and thinks that he thinks too much.
His mother was such a wise person who didn’t understand anything, but she could make the most correct judgment. For example, she took him away from Dai’s house. If they had survived at that time, I’m afraid… His younger brother is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is already a well-known dude.
“The waterwheel that my mother and son mentioned also has eyes.” Liu Ping said again.
“That’s good, these things can benefit the people when they are researched.” Shi Qing said, those things were all told to her by Mu Ling, and she found them useful, so she told her son. As for herself, she is now immersed in writing articles.
She wants to write down a lot of things that Mu Ling told, even if it can’t be printed, she just wants write some things she has seen and heard.
Hearing his mother say this, Liu Ping rolled his eyes. He talked to his mother for a while before leaving. After leaving, the expression on his face became much calmer.
Liu Ping went to see Mr. Liu again.
“Have you made a decision?” Mr. Liu asked.
“The emperor is in good health, those princes… I’m afraid they won’t be able to do anything, they can only make the emperor hate it.” Liu Ping said: “Even if it doesn’t work in the end, the seventh prince has never been in troubled, and if you think about it, you can end up in a happy ending.”
The previous princes battle for the throne is so fierce, how can the seventh prince not be jealous at all? As early as a few years ago, when the seventh prince was still young, he had already begun to win over him, and even couldn’t wait to show his head. In the end, he persuaded the seventh prince to let the seventh prince have ambitions, but don’t show it.
This was the inspiration he got after reading a story of his mother. In that story, the sons of a wealthy businessman tried their best to fight for the family property. In the end, the wealthy businessman gave all the family wealth to the most filial one.
The stories of his mother seem to be just an ordinary things, and there is no tendency in them, but in fact, they contain great truths.
Hearing his words, the seventh prince stopped jumping up and down, even used his age advantage to favor the emperor, which really made the emperor value the seventh prince more and more.
He and the seventh prince took advantage of this time to do a few practical things, and the emperor liked them even more.
“Since you have already made a decision, proceed with caution. The Liu family is now all on your shoulders.” Mr. Liu said.
“Grandfather, thank you.” Liu Ping fell to his knees and kowtowed to Mr. Liu.
Although after the emperor asked him to be the prince’s companion, he would inevitably be involved with the seventh prince, but if he wanted, he could avoid all this by taking the imperial examinations early and seeking an official post, but he didn’t want to.
He wanted to stand taller than his biological father.
Back then, he and his mother were going to kneel down to the Dai family’s grandfather and wife. He hoped that he would never encounter such a thing again in his life.
“You are a young man, and you should have ambitions. Now it’s not bad to choose the seventh prince to advance, attack, retreat, and defend.” Mr. Liu said, pulling Liu Ping and slowly telling him something. All this, when the emperor asked Liu Ping to read as a companion to the seventh prince, he had already expected it.
Liu Ping listened respectfully, took all Mr. Liu’s words in his heart, and made up his mind to be extra careful in the future, and never let the Seventh Prince be involved in right and wrong.
The seventh prince is much younger than the other princes. When he grows up, he indulges in “strange tricks”. Therefore, the first prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince, who are the most powerful contenders for the throne, do not take him seriously. In his eyes, until the first prince died of dysentery, the third prince was reprimanded by the emperor in public, and the fourth prince was sent to a remote area to be crowned king.
The seventh prince was crowned the prince by the emperor. In the same year, the 21-year-old Liu Ping became the champion of the new division, and the scenery on horseback was infinite.
This Liu Ping is a popular person in front of the prince. No one knows about this. Therefore, when he won the champion, and everyone found out that he was not married, countless people became excited.
Wen Qianyu was also interested when she heard the news. Her brother has a direct daughter who is eighteen this year and has not yet been married. If she can marry Liu Ping…
Since the third prince lost power, the Wen family has not been as good as before, and it is time to plan for the future.
