A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Now that it is confirmed that Kaikawa Shauki is indeed talented and knowledgeable enough to teach Yamauchi Taro, both Yamauchi Yoshiharu and Mrs. Nagao are looking forward to the education method of this national teacher.

Logically speaking, children over three years old are in small classes in kindergarten, which usually involves drawing, stacking blocks, and playing games, and then they start to learn a little bit about counting apples and eggs, the pinyin letters of AOE, and so on.

The main purpose is to educate and entertain, and I won’t just jump right in and start reciting the names of hundreds of families in the universe. After all, the child is still young and not yet at that level.

Of course, Koheita was very curious about what kind of education Yamauchi Taro would receive. Nowadays, there are Terakoya in many places, teaching Meng Tong, mainly basic reading, writing and calculation, nothing too deep.

But Kuaichuan Shaoxi didn't teach him anything. He only set a rule for Yamauchi Taro, that he must greet him every morning when he gets up and before going to bed at night.

And you have to walk from the castle residence to Songli Temple. Even though the distance is only a few hundred meters, it is definitely tiring for a three-year-old child to walk twice a day.

Everyone immediately speculated that this request must be to exercise Yamauchi Taro's willpower and perseverance and patience. None of the parents objected. The children of the Wu family cannot be weak, and physical exercise is a must.

Don't you see, even in the dead of winter, Yamauchi Yoshikatsu still wipes his body with cold water. His body is in great shape and he doesn't get sick all year round. In the twelfth lunar month, running around barefoot and wearing straw sandals is no big deal.

Children over three years old should just practice walking. He also has four little followers to accompany him, so it stands to reason that he will not be alone on the road.

So in the early morning and evening in Yamauchi Fuchu Castle, you can see Yamauchi Taro leading his four younger brothers, followed by several maids to escort him back and forth to Shoryakuji Temple.

Although it was very difficult for the little guy to walk these roads every day, he finally managed to endure it. He never asked for help, nor did he act coquettishly and refused to leave. Take it one step at a time honestly.

Hosokawa Harime was the most active. She walked with Yamauchi Taro whenever she had free time, teaching him how to adjust his breathing when walking and jogging, how to save energy, and how to adapt to long distances. This is his duty as a servant, and he enjoys walking every day.

But after two days, Yamauchi Taro began to frown. It turned out that when Kuaichuan Shaoxi greeted him every morning and evening, he asked Yamauchi Taro to bring him a bowl of water to drink.

Respecting teachers is a big deal, so bringing water to an old monk was no big deal, so naturally no one said anything. But every day when Taro Yamauchi served the water, the old monk shook his head and refused to drink it. This happened again and again.

Several of Taro Yamauchi's subordinates were very responsible and gave him advice. At first, they served cold boiled water that one would normally drink directly, but the old monk did not drink it. They guessed that the old monk was old and his stomach couldn't bear the cold, so they poured hot water for the old monk to drink.

But the old monk just shook his head when he saw the hot water. Although he smiled, he still didn't drink it.

This stumped several children, and it broke their thinking. At this time, Matsushita Husong's clever little mind opened up. He said that he had read a book before and said that Yuan Shu wanted to drink a bowl of honey water before he died. I guess the old monk also wanted to drink delicious honey water, so he couldn't be wrong.

So several children began to salivate and remembered the sweet taste of honey water, and everyone thought it made sense.

Early the next morning, Yamauchi Taro asked Mrs. Nagao for honey water. Mrs. Nagao loved her son so much that of course she gave it to him immediately. So Yamauchi Taro happily carried a pot of honey water to the old monk. The old monk smiled again but still refused to drink.

This time, the children were completely stumped. Yamauchi Taro was speechless and went home to find Mrs. Nagao.

When Mrs. Nagao heard that her son asked for honey water, it turned out that Kuaichuan Shaoxi drank it. Kuaichuan Shaoxi refused to drink it, so she couldn't figure it out.

But adults always have more solutions than children. She thinks the old monk is used to it. Although he doesn't covet honey water like a child, he probably wants to drink high-quality tea.

So the next day, Mrs. Nagao personally followed Taro Yamauchi to Shoryakuji Temple to make tea for Kuaichuan Shaoxi. She used the best Luoyang tea leaves, all of which were tender and tender. In her opinion, unless they go to the Ming Dynasty to import top-quality tea, there will be no better tea.

But after Taro Yamauchi sent it in, he brought it out again soon, but it still didn't work.

Mrs. Longtail was also defeated. One person was short-sighted, and two were wise. When Mrs. Nagao saw that she was not coming, she immediately talked to Yamauchi Yoshiharu and asked him to summon his retainers to advise Yamauchi Taro.

As soon as Yamauchi Yoshiharu heard about his precious grandson, it was a big deal. Hurray, all the Yamauchi gangsters went to the city to advise Yamauchi Taro and find a way to deliver a bowl of water that would satisfy Kuaichuan Shaoxi tomorrow.

When everyone hears this, what kind of thing is this? Where to start? There is nowhere to start!

Hosokawa Harumiya asked in detail what kind of water Taro Yamauchi sent in. From cold boiled water to hot water, to honey water, to tea, none of them worked, and they were all returned.

It’s impossible for the old monk to have any special hobby for water, right? What tricks can water do?

You can't drink the dew before Grain Rain, the snow water from Mount Fuji, or the rain during Qingming Festival. Where can I find this kind of thing? I'm not writing a fantasy novel.

Xiaopingtai touched the beard on his chin and thought carefully, and suddenly an idea flashed.

"Your Highness, if you do this and this tomorrow, see if Zen Master Kuaichuan Shaoxi will drink your water."

The others didn't hear what Xiaoheita said at all, but Mrs. Nagao who was holding Yamauchi Taro and Yamauchi Yoshiharu who was sitting next to her heard it, and they both suddenly realized it at the same time.

"In the past, my brother said that Dan Zheng was Dong Guo Wushuang's strategist. I still didn't believe it. Now I know that Dan Zheng is really Dong Guo Wushuang. He has extraordinary intelligence and strategy, far better than ordinary people."

Mrs. Nagao's face was filled with joy. What Koheita said was very reasonable. It was definitely true.

Only Yamauchi Taro was still a little confused. Although he listened to Heita Xiao's words, he didn't understand what they meant. He only saw that his grandfather and mother were applauding, so he nodded and pretended to understand.

The next day, Heita Koheta and Mrs. Nagao personally accompanied Taro Yamauchi to Shoryakuji Temple to say hello. Before entering the house, Heita Koheta repeatedly told Taro Yamauchi so and so, so, so, so, so, so.

And asked Yamauchi Taro to repeat it completely, and only after confirming that it was correct did he let him into the house.

Koheita and Mrs. Nagao stood outside the house quietly waiting for Yamauchi Taro to come out, waiting for the outcome of this matter.

Not long after, Yamauchi Taro's childish voice came from inside the house. He was greeting monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi. Everything was normal. After saying a few words, Kuaichuan Shaoxi's voice came from the room.

The words were spoken clearly and clearly. He was asking Yamauchi Taro why he didn't bring any water to him today. What was the reason?
