Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 68

Taking care of four or five-year-old children is actually more cumbersome than adults.

They don't eat much, and they don't spend much on clothes, but that's just the surface.

Every morning and evening, a bowl of fresh goat's milk is required. A little semi-literate boy has to study in addition to playing during the day, and it is inevitable to supervise his studies all the time.

In addition, he also needs company, and needs someone to be by his side all the time, to answer his various strange questions.

Why there are days and nights, why the water flows downhill, why there are men and women in the world, why the father grows hair, why the father is so much older than Qiao'er...

In just one day, Li Qinzai had a nervous breakdown.

You can't get angry yet, and you can't be impatient, because Qiao'er has just separated from her grandmother, and it is a very sensitive and fragile time.

In this new environment, Li Qinzai was the only person he could rely on, so Li Qinzai could only answer his various weird questions tirelessly, in order to quickly cultivate the trust between him and the child.

Back in the yard, the servant girl helped Qiao'er take off his clothes, and gave him a bath, Qiao'er pulled the clothes desperately to prevent the maid from taking them off.

Li Qinzai had no choice but to help him wash himself.

Fortunately, in order to enjoy life, Li Qinzai asked someone to build a large bathtub very early on. The father and son jumped into the bathtub without their nakedness, and it was spacious.

After stripping off, Li Qinzai deliberately observed Qiao'er's skin all over, and was relieved when he saw no obvious bruises or scars.

It's not because of his villainous mind. After all, the child has not been with him all these years, and the people who raised him are not his biological parents. Li Qinzai can't be sure whether Qiao'er has been abused these years, he must see is believing.

Fortunately, Qiao'er didn't have any scars on her body, but she was a little thinner, and looked a little shorter than children of the same age.

There was no reason to blame others. Li Qinzai knew that it was not easy for the women and children of the Han family.

It's okay, I'll make up for it later.

While enjoying the warm time of father and son taking a bath, Qiao'er's various weird problems popped up.

After racking his brains to answer why his father had hairy body and why his father's was so much bigger than his, Li Qinzai's face turned bitter.

He felt that he also needed to learn new knowledge, otherwise sooner or later, he would not be able to answer Qiao'er's question.

After taking a bath, Li Qinzai carried the bare-bottomed Qiao'er back to the bedroom.

When he first arrived in the new environment, Li Qinzai couldn't let him sleep alone, but temporarily slept with him. After Qiao'er became familiar with the environment and the people around him, he would be assigned a room.

Qiao'er's upbringing was once again reflected, as expected, she didn't eat or sleep, she didn't say a word after lying down, and soon fell asleep, making a slight snoring sound.

Li Qinzai didn't fall asleep, lying on his side quietly watching Qiao'er's face, a softness suddenly appeared in his heart.

This little man who appeared unexpectedly destroyed all his good plans for the future. Li Qinzai went from resisting at first to accepting, and finally voluntarily took on this responsibility.

In one day, the mood changes too much.

Perhaps, it was Qiao'er's face that was exactly the same as his that made him unable to ignore his blood and flesh, or perhaps, it was the pitiful eyes of this helpless child that made him responsible for the child's future.

Or maybe it's because of the guilt towards that Lin Nu who has never met but cut off love forever, and I hope she can be at peace under the nine springs.

Li Qinzai didn't know what happened between his predecessor and Lin Nu, he always felt that there should be a story between him and Lin Nu, it's not as simple as the romantic young master lying to the silly maid.

In the middle of the night, Li Qinzai was sleeping drowsily, when he suddenly felt a little wet under his body.

When I woke up, I touched it casually, tsk, the boy peeed in one hand.

The little guy wetted the bed and wet half of the bed, but Qiao'er was still sound asleep.

Sighing, Li Qinzai silently picked up Qiao'er who was sleeping soundly, and moved him to the side of a bed that was not wet with urine, and finally called the servant girl softly, and told her to put on a clean bedding.

Li Qinzai secretly decided that in the future, a maid on night shift would be arranged in the yard, and he would be paid more money every month.

It's that simple for a wealthy family to take care of a child.

Li Qinzai got up after three poles in the sun, with a look of getting up, and he was not pleasing to see anyone.

After dressing up, he opened the door, but Qiao'er stood outside the door in a regular manner. Seeing Li Qinzai coming out, Qiao'er respectfully saluted and greeted him, and then was taken to eat and play by the maid.

Qiao'er changed into silk and satin clothes, and there was a long life lock around her neck, which was a gift from Li Siwen and Li Cuishi yesterday.

Today's Qiao'er finally has the appearance of a wealthy child. Li Qinzai began to think about what kind of enlightenment textbooks to prepare for Qiao'er.

Although Thousand-Character Writing is good, it is a bit esoteric for a four- or five-year-old child. Children's education should be carried out step by step, starting with character recognition, and gradually understanding the meaning of Chinese characters.

The "Three Character Classic" is not good, it is too sensitive, and the description of the Tang Dynasty's fortunes in it will make Li Qinzai be labeled as an attempt to rebel.

"Three Hundred Tang Poems"?
This... If it is taken out, the scholars and literati in the entire Tang Dynasty will go crazy, because most of the classic poems in it have not been published.

"Hundred Surnames" can be considered, and the Li surname is ranked first.

It is said that during the reign of Zhenguan, in order to suppress the power of the gentry in Shandong, Li Shimin ordered Gao Shilian, the official secretary at that time, who was the editor-in-chief of Gao Qi's grandfather, to compile "Clan Chronicles".

Therefore, if you want to compile hundreds of surnames, you must not conflict with the "Clan History" of the imperial court. The ranking must be in order, otherwise it will be another trouble.

In the morning, when Qiao'er was brought by the maid to get familiar with the environment in the mansion, the housekeeper Wu Tong came to report that there was a visitor.

This time it wasn't Xue Na and Gao Qi, but the supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervisor.

The Military Weapons Supervision has the first supervisor, the first junior supervisor, and the second supervisor. The visiting supervisor and Li Qinzai are in a superior-subordinate relationship.

The purpose of Jiancheng’s visit is very simple. Li Qinzai is a new official. Although the new official does not have to take up the post, the military inspector has a lot of power. Except for the supervisor, Li Qinzai is the second in command of the military inspector. right.

The second-in-command of a unit, the officials below would not dare to take it seriously, especially Li Qinzai was notorious in Chang'an, and behind him was the huge backing of the British Duke.

Today, the supervisor came to pay homage to the top of the mountain.

The supervisor's name is Wang Xu, and he was admitted as an official in Yonghui Nianke. He has nothing to do with the Shandong gentry Taiyuan Wang's family.

The Military Weapons Supervisor Jiancheng is only a seventh-rank official. This seventh-rank official has been in office for ten years. From high school Jinshi to now, he has basically never moved. Wang Xu thought that his career in this life was hopeless.

Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly appointed the grandson of the Duke of England as the young supervisor of military weapons.

At this moment, Wang Xu suddenly felt a ray of dawn piercing the darkness, and he realized that his chance had come.

So he immediately prepared a generous gift, and went to the door of the British government as a seventh-rank official.

This is also Wang Xu's good luck. If it were different from normal times, how could a mere seventh-rank official be qualified to enter the door of the dignified British government?However, Li Qinzai had just become an official, and Wang Xu met with the superior in the name of a military weapon supervisor. He didn't know the details of the guards in front of the Duke's mansion for a while, so he informed the mansion.

Li Qinzai is a very easy-going person. Since colleagues from the unit are here, they will see each other as soon as they see each other.

So Li Qinzai met Wang Xu in the side hall of the front yard.

When they first met Wang Xu, he bowed respectfully and called him a young prisoner. Li Qinzai greeted him with a smiling face.

What is so little, what is so talented, the flattery is so flattering that even Li Qinzai believes it, and secretly thinks that he has so many advantages.

"Okay, okay, let me digest it slowly..." Li Qinzai stopped Wang Xu's rainbow fart in time, and if he didn't stop it, it's time for him.

After looking at Wang Xu for a while, this man is about forty years old, and his appearance can be regarded as Zhou Zheng. His facial features are not outstanding, but he is not ugly. His eyes and nose are where they should be.

"Uh, are you a traitor?" Li Qinzai asked.

Wang Xu was astonished, then trembled all over, and said in a trembling voice: "Li Shaojian doesn't dare to joke, the official is a supervisor, not a traitor, and the official is utterly loyal to the emperor and the Tang Sheji!"

Li Qinzai froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Tsk, I heard that homonym memes will charge you money...

"Haha, forgive me, my accent is wrong, my ancestry is from the south..." Li Qinzai smoothed things over without changing his expression.

This time, the corner of Wang Xu's mouth twitched.

Everyone knows that your grandfather Li Zheng is from Caozhou, Shandong. Do you have any relationship with the south?
