The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 354

[Chapter 354: Idle Books and Sage Books]

He admitted that the kid Fang Xiu did have some talent and was much smarter than the average person.

However, besides romance books like “The Romance of the West Chamber”, what other books could he write?

The Queen Mother read his book and went astray.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after thinking about it, he still didn’t speak.

The Queen Mother was already old, and to put it harshly, she passed away on a crane at some time.

As long as she is happy, she can read whatever book she wants

. So, she replied: “If this book belongs to Zhuxuanzhai, nine times out of ten it should be the Fang Xiu whom I mentioned.” When

the Queen Mother heard this, her old face He showed a smile and said: “That’s good.

Although the Ai family has only read this book of his, from this book, the Ai family also knows that this Fang Xiu must be a learned man.

He is Hao’er Master, the Ai family can rest assured.”

At this point, he paused and suddenly asked: “Whose son did you just say that Fang Xiu is?”

Emperor Chu had a look of helplessness on his face and answered: “After returning to my mother, it is.

“

Uncle Anping, “

the Queen Mother murmured, suddenly remembered something, looked at Emperor Chu, and said, “If the Ai family remembers correctly, how could Uncle Anping have given birth to such a learned man when he was only thirty years old?” Son?”

This is a mistake.

After all, people like An Pingbo were not related to the royal family. The Queen Mother had heard of him occasionally, but it was impossible to remember him in her heart.

So I casually thought that An Pingbo was still the age he remembered.

Emperor Chu said: “The Queen Mother remembered it wrong, An Pingbo is already in his forties.” The

Queen Mother said, “Oh,” and said with a smile: “The Ai family is getting old, and their memory is not as good as before. Many things cannot be remembered clearly.

However, since An Pingbo is still in his forties, his son should not be too old.”

Emperor Chu nodded and replied, “Fang Xiu has not yet reached the age of crown.” The Queen Mother

said with a look of surprise on her face, “Not yet.” Ji Guan has such knowledge, this is the talent of Wang Zuo, the emperor should take it seriously.”

When the Emperor of Chu heard this, he was already very curious.

What kind of book did the Queen Mother read just now that made her praise so much a child she had never seen before?

You know, in all these years, he has never heard the Queen Mother speak so highly of a person.

Wang Zuozhicai

He had heard this word from different people.

Finally, Emperor Chu couldn’t restrain his curiosity and asked, “I don’t know what book the Queen Mother was reading just now. Can you let me have a look at it?” When

the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and said, “Oh! , The Ai family has forgotten this matter.

In fact, the Ai family just asked you to take a look.

“Xiao Xiao, take the book to the emperor.”

On the side, the maid held the book in her hand carefully. He walked up to Emperor Chu and said respectfully: “Your Majesty.”

Emperor Chu reached out to take the book and glanced at the cover.

“Health Preservation Encyclopedia”

Suddenly, I felt that my whole body was not well.

At such a young age, that boy has already begun to think about ways to maintain his health.

Moreover, he also wrote such a thick book.

Those who knew, he was the general of the Youyu Linwei, which should now be called Shenji Camp. Those who didn’t know thought he was some veteran minister who had retired from office and was recuperating at home to enjoy his old age!

Emperor Chu took a deep breath, resisted the urge to let Fang Xiu come over and scold him, and turned the first page.

The plan for the day lies in the morning, so breakfast should be the most important for daily meals.

Just after reading one sentence, the Emperor of Chu wanted to throw this broken book to the ground.

Is this how a day’s plan is used in the morning?

This is an insult to the sages!

He closed the “Encyclopedia of Health Preservation”, looked at the Queen Mother, and said: “Mother, my son and I have some things that I don’t know whether to say or not.”

As the saying goes, it is better to know your son than your mother.

The imperial family is no exception.

As soon as Emperor Chu spoke, the Queen Mother glanced at him as if she knew what he was going to say, and said calmly: “Does the emperor want to say that this book is just an idle book and of no use, so it is better to read less of it?”

Emperor Chu’s face said

He looked embarrassed and opened his mouth, trying to defend himself.

But before she opened her mouth, she heard the Queen Mother say: “This book is indeed a leisure book, but the Ai family is now old, and the Ai family can’t stand those books that are not idle.

On the contrary, they are more interested in these ordinary books, the emperor You are a king, and the world is connected with the country, but you cannot let the people in the world read nothing except the books of sages. In that case, you will fall into the inferior position.

It was during this period that the Ai family read idle books. Only after reading more did I realize that there were many things that were not mentioned in the books of the sages, but these idle books made the Ai family understand a lot.”

When Emperor Chu heard this, he was slightly startled, and then his expression became a little serious.

The Queen Mother just glanced at him and knew what he was thinking, and asked first, “Does the emperor want to say that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world?”

When the Emperor of Chu heard this, he was completely convinced.

Every time before he even opened his mouth, the Queen Mother knew exactly what he wanted to say, and even the words and sentences were indistinguishable.

It’s really a bit helpless.

Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother showed a smile on her face and said: “The Ai family knows what you are thinking, so why not do this? The Ai family will ask you a question and see if you can answer it.”

The Emperor of Chu looked at the Queen Mother and replied: ” What question does the queen mother want to ask her son?” The queen mother did not answer directly, but said: “The Ai family just wants to tell you with this question, there are many things in this world that are not included in the

sages

‘ books.

You memorize the sages’ books by heart, but you don’t know the principles behind them. The sages’ books teach you how to be a person and how to do things.

However

, a person is born in the world and not only knows how to be a person and how to do things.

There are many truths that need to be understood. If you don’t understand them, you will be blind, and you can only see a small leaf, but cannot see the wider world.

The Aijia need not say more about this truth, but you, the emperor, should also understand it.”

Emperor Chu listened. With these words, the expression on his face didn’t change much, but he didn’t care in his heart.

In his opinion, in life, as long as you know how to be a person and how to do things, it is enough.

What’s more, there are still many people in this world who cannot do these two things well, so who are they qualified to talk about other things?

“Ask the Queen Mother,”

Emperor Chu looked at the Queen Mother and said.

The Queen Mother smiled, winked at the maid next to her, and ordered: “Go and find two stones of different sizes in this courtyard.”

When the maid of Yongshou Palace heard this, she immediately understood what the Queen Mother wanted. What are you doing? I’m so busy looking for rocks.

When Emperor Chu heard this, he was stunned.

Because he seemed to have guessed what question the Queen Mother wanted to ask herself.
