Chapter 864： strive for (middle)

   Hutou shouted in time: "No!"

Mu Yangling turned his head and asked him, "Why?"

Hutou said anxiously: "We want to grow taller, we still have to play, we don't have time."

Xiao An instantly adjusted his strategy and gave the little lion a wink, the little lion immediately pulled the tiger's head, and the tiger's head closed its mouth immediately, and Xiao An said to Mu Yangling slowly, "Fourth aunt, you said that we can only sleep enough. We grow tall, so we sleep five hours a day, four at night, and one at noon, so that we can grow tall and strong."

Xiao An looked up at the fourth aunt and confirmed with her.

Seeing his sincere look into her eyes, Mu Yangling suddenly smiled slightly. She only once mentioned that she could express her sincerity by looking directly into the eyes of others when she had a request for a conversation. .

She rubbed his hair and encouraged, "My aunt said something like that."

Xiao An was shocked and continued: "Fourth aunt, if we want to grow up happily, we must play, we can't spend all our time on study, if we go to the palace to study, we won't have time to play, we will be unhappy of."

The three children, including the bear, nodded fiercely, and they would all be unhappy.

"And didn't you say that growing up is not only as simple as learning book knowledge, but also learning how to be a person, how to be a friend, and a son."

"You can learn these things even if you study in the palace," Mu Yangling said, "His Royal Highness can learn these things in the palace."

Xiao An immediately said: "We can also learn this outside."

"But your uncle Huang thinks we are too tolerant towards you. Studying for five days and taking two days off will make you less enthusiastic about your studies, and your progress will not catch up with others." Mu Yangling reminded the other party.

"No," Xiao An immediately said: "We have always loved learning, and we will continue to love it in the future. If we enter the palace, we might be forced to stop loving it, right?"

Little Lion and Tiger Head nodded again and again, "We all love learning now."

"Fourth aunt, just tell Uncle Huang, let's study outside the palace, we won't be worse than others."

Xiaoxiong also said, "Mother, I don't have time to practice martial arts when I go to the palace to study. I want to be a general in the future. How can I be a general if I don't practice martial arts?"

Qi Haoran frowned, this is a big problem, his son's martial arts talent is even more than his, and he is born with great strength. It is a waste for him not to practice martial arts.

The prince in the palace will naturally choose a direction to develop when he grows up, but that is something that he decides after he grows up and determines his hobbies and abilities, and he must be at least twelve years old.

But Little Bear's talents, abilities and hobbies appeared when he was still a baby, so naturally he doesn't have to wait until he grows up to choose a direction.

Qi Haoran touched his nose and said to Mu Yangling: "I'll talk to the emperor about the little bear, but I think it's a bit of a problem to let him go out of the palace to study, not to mention the three little ones."

Qi Haoran looked at the three little ones sympathetically, and said, "I can only mention it to the royal brother, it depends on their luck."

Mu Yangling saw Qi Haoran's thoughts at a glance, and he also supported the children to study in the palace.

Mu Yangling frowned, thinking about how to persuade Qi Haoran. She didn't know whether it was better to be lenient first and then stricter, or better to be strict first and then lenient, but she always felt that when children retained their nature the most, they At this time, it is more to guide them to grow up, make them happy, and let them be full of questions about the world, to find the answers on their own, the more experiences they have, the more they can recall and think about in the future.

Instead of being pressed by books every day like now, I open my eyes and appear in the classroom. Before closing my eyes, I am doing homework. Every day I think about the questions raised by the teacher and the confusion about the books.

What can be brought up by the teacher is the answer given by the predecessors. One generation learns from one generation to another, and the knowledge goes back and forth, but no new knowledge emerges. Why?

Because the kids didn’t ask new questions.

Why can a hundred schools of thought contend in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

Because everyone is constantly asking questions, constantly searching, and the pace of progress has never stopped. Everyone refutes each other but learns from each other. They make time to learn, but they need more time to ask questions, then think and solve , and then overthrow, and then solve...

now what?

Everyone is holding a book to study, how many people can have their own new questions and new insights?

Mu Yangling lay beside Qi Haoran, asked his own questions, and finally said: "We can't just focus on one city and one country, we also have to focus on the whole world, not only to see Jin Guo and Xixia, but also to see Seeing the country after the Western Xia Dynasty, the country after the sea, and even the entire universe, children's eyes are the cornerstone of the development of this world."

Qi Haoran turned over and said, "Looking too far, be careful that you can't even do the trivial things of one country and one city. Don't you say you can sweep the world without sweeping one house?"

"But if you want to sweep the world, you have to see the world first. How can you think of sweeping the world when you only see the square inch in front of you?" Mu Yangling whispered, "There is no conflict between sweeping the world and sweeping a house, they only have to look at the world. Only in this whole world can you get out of the house."

Qi Haoran pondered.

Mu Yangling sighed and said, "The Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism of the former dynasty has gradually become popular in the Jiangnan area. I do not deny that it has interpreted some knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics very well, and it has also done a good job of summarizing it, which has brought a lot of convenience to scholars all over the world, but for the sake of Is it really a blessing for the country to read for convenience and for the imperial examination? I always feel that reading is to broaden horizons, to have more and better choices on the road of life, and even to pursue the truth in the universe. Not only to seal a wife and a son, to keep a name in the history, but also not to get promoted and get rich, and jump into the dragon gate."

Qi Haoran stared at his wife in astonishment. He didn't know that A Ling had such thoughts. It felt amazing, as if his wife who had been sleeping beside the bed had become a saint.

Qi Haoran suddenly felt a little flustered, and opened his hands to hug the person tightly in his arms.

Mu Yangling didn't notice her husband's uneasiness, she just sighed: "We are both vulgar people, and we will work hard to earn money to support our son's life in this life. No matter how many ideals, I don't need to think about it, but I always hope that my child They can go a little further, a little further, and not let their lives be as muddled as most people."

Qi Haoran put his chin on top of Mu Yangling's head, tightly folded his arms, and whispered, "It's good to be a layman, I just like to be a layman with you."

Mu Yangling poked him with his finger, "I know that we are ordinary people, you don't need to emphasize it again and again, I am talking about the child, you go to the palace and talk to the emperor, give the children some freedom and learn. We are not in a hurry, they have a lot to learn apart from studying at this age, with such intense study, can they be a teacher at the age of fifteen or six and become an official in the dynasty?"

Qi Haoran said: "This age is not too young. The princes of all dynasties have entered the dynasty at this age."

Mu Yangling said: "But children of this age have not yet settled their minds, so put them in the court. They jumped from a simple study life into the big dye vat of the court. Have you considered the impact on their minds? ?"
