back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 844 Education is a headache

Seeing the nanny and a group of palace maids teasing their sons and daughters, Lu Chengqi could only watch helplessly.The whole room was chattering and smiling like flowers, so happy that Empress Dowager Liu ran here every day, stopped worshiping Buddha, burned incense, and planted land.Alas, this is all the fault of the Chinese people. Praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is too utilitarian.The sky is full of gods and Buddhas, which one is beneficial to me and which one to worship, anyway, no god will offend me.

Especially the newly born prince, whose fleshy little hands have been touched a thousand times, and his white and tender face, which has been kissed a hundred times, is covered with cherry-scented lips.Babies who have just been born, who have never experienced this kind of rouge powder, naturally feel uncomfortable all over, because they can't speak, they are really full of grievances, and have nowhere to vent, so they can only cry and express their protest.

I couldn't help but cry, and the little princess over there seemed to feel it too, and started crying together.It seems that it is louder than anyone else, and it can't be coaxed.

Under Zhou Zhiruo and Han Feng'er's distressed scolding, these maids restrained themselves a little, and retreated reluctantly.

At this time, a few court ladies left the Xierguo, red dates, lottery money, green onion and garlic in the huge golden basin, and then surrounded the silver basin with several feet of color, decorated it properly, and retreated.

The first bath of the two babies is about to begin.

As the child's father, Lu Chengqi would certainly not be absent.

"Mother, please be old..."

For the sake of her grandson, of course the Empress Dowager Liu would not refuse. With Lu Chengqi's support, she smiled lightly and slowly got up, took the long gold and silver hairpin presented by the maid, and stirred it in the silver basin. At the same time, A group of servants and others also came over one after another, took out the prepared lottery money, threw them into the basin, and heard the sound of ding ding dong dong, everyone was so happy that there was a smile on their faces.

The palace lady quickly brought up several thermoses, and in the warm water in the golden basin, added the decoction of tuckahoe, tonka, cloves and other crushed and fried medicines. In an instant, a strong fragrance of medicines permeated the hall.

After everything was ready, Zhou Zhiruo and Han Feng'er came to help, and the Empress Dowager Liu lifted off the swaddling clothes wrapped around the two babies, revealing their smooth, white and tender bodies.It's a pity that these two babies who were destined to be born with golden keys in their mouths didn't know that what they enjoyed was already the best treatment in the world. It echoed in the ears of everyone in the hall.

"First washing to remove dust, second washing to ward off evil spirits, third washing to bring good luck..." Empress Dowager Liu smiled kindly and recited the congratulatory speech for her son.

Zhou Zhiruo and Han Fenger felt a little heartbroken for their son and daughter, each holding their hands on the soft back of the baby, half hanging above the golden basin, dropping it down and soaking twice from time to time, holding a silky silk cloth in their right hand, soaking it lightly in the water. Whisk and wipe carefully.

Sometimes, you have to admire the resilience of the baby. During the [-] hours of bathing, she cried from beginning to end. No matter how much Zhou Zhiruo, Han Fenger, and Empress Dowager Liu tried to persuade her, it was useless until the water stains on her body were wiped off after bathing. Wrapped in warm colored satin, in the soft and comfortable arms of the mother, she shook it a few times, and immediately stopped crying, but she was also tired, closed her eyes, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

On the little face full of milky fragrance, he kissed lightly, and the faces of the two first-time mothers showed tender and loving smiles.

But the ceremony was not completed, I saw Lu Chengqi walking slowly, holding a sharp weapon in his hand, the light was shining, and the cold was threatening, don't get me wrong, this is a Longkou knife (scissors), cut off the baby's fetal hair, put it into a small box, And use colored thread to weave into a ribbon on the web.

What exactly does this mean, Lu Chengqi is not very clear, anyway, the customs passed down from ancient times, as long as it is not a bad habit of dangerous babies, Lu Chengqi has no reason to refuse, carefully complete this procedure, then put down the Longkou knife, and move skillfully Taking the baby from Han Feng'er, the family of six went to the main hall of Kunning.

At this time, the maids and servants all came forward to congratulate, all of which were congratulatory words.

"Xiao Langjun has an extraordinary character, and he will make great achievements in the future!"

"The little princess is a lovely lady, I think she will be unparalleled in wealth and honor in the future..."

After Lu Chengqi had no choice but to announce the reward, the maids and servants withdrew. Everyone's faces were beaming with joy, driving away the cold wind outside.

At this time, the clouds are thin, the moonlight is dim, and the soft light is sprinkled. It can be predicted that the severe winter is about to pass, and the world has ushered in spring again, playing back to the earth and warming the world. , and daughter were born, but Lu Chengqi was a little dazed.

It wasn't until this time that Lu Chengqi completely believed that he seemed to have merged into this era and could never be separated again.

Han Feng'er lived in the main hall of Kunning Palace. After all, taking care of one is taking care of one, and taking care of two is also taking care of them. It's not so troublesome to come together.Lu Chengqi didn't want to be partial to them either, they were all his wife and children, so who was he partial to?

After feeding the baby and putting the baby to sleep, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Your Majesty, you haven't named it yet?"

Lu Chengqi was taken aback for a moment, yes, he was so busy that he forgot about such important matters.

"Don't be in a hurry to get a big name, but you have to have a nickname, right?"

Han Feng'er knew that being born in the royal family, and being a princess only for more than 70 years, her daughter was destined to have no shortage of prosperity and wealth.

Lu Chengqi pondered for a while and said, "You might as well call your son 'Hutou' and your daughter 'Guo'er', what do you think?"

"Tiger head?" Zhou Zhiruo looked at her sleeping son, who seemed to have a tiger head and a tiger head, and said without thinking deeply, "Tiger head is good, let's call it tiger head. Little tiger head, from now on you will be a little tiger head... ..."

Han Feng'er was even more overjoyed, "Guo'er" and "Zuo'er" are similar, both are auspicious names given by the common people, implying growing up quickly, so naturally there is no objection.

In fact, Lu Chengqi took the "tiger head" because he hoped that his son would be like himself and create an era, like a tiger head instead of a snake tail.As for the daughter, Guo'er is purely sweet and has no other meaning.As for Han Fenger's misunderstanding, let her misunderstand.Gu'er and Guo'er seem to be no different.

"Hey, Your Majesty, are you unhappy?"

After all, Zhou Zhiruo was considerate, even though she was almost focused on her son now, she still cared about her husband.

Han Feng'er also noticed it at this time, Lu Chengqi seemed worried, and he didn't know why.

Lu Chengqi sighed: "As the saying goes, raising a child to be a hundred years old means worrying about 99 years. It is their blessing that they were born in the emperor's family, but since they were born, they have to give up too much. As a father, I am now worried about how they will become adults. ..."

Adulthood is actually a matter of education. "The Analects of Confucius Xianwen" has a saying: Zilu asked an adult, and the master said: "If Zang Wuzhong knows, Gongchuo doesn't want, Bian Zhuangzi's courage, Ran Qiu's art, and writing with ritual and music, he can also become an adult." Said: "Why is it inevitable for an adult today? Think of righteousness when you see profit, and give orders when you see danger. If you don't forget your life's words for a long time, you can also be an adult."

It can be seen that in ancient times, adulthood was not just about growing up, but to become a person of wisdom, benevolence, courage, talent, honesty and trustworthiness, and a person with ritual and music cultivation after being taught by sages.But being born in the royal family, how can it be as simple as the requirements of the common people?
