Chapter 1076： shameless

  Xiao Bao looked at the two of them speechlessly. It's okay for the second brother to think like this. How come the smart Xiao An didn't notice the abnormality?

He asked, "My aunt asked you to make banners, isn't there any objection?"

The two children shook their heads, "Why are you opposed? Everyone is very supportive, and there are merchants who bought us good silk to make banners."

No matter how smart and precocious Xiao An is, he has learned his sophistication from the people around him. Besides his classmates and husband, he has the most contact with Mu Yangling and his parents.

Fan Zijin only cares about his homework, Xiaoxia only cares about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the principles of life and interpersonal relationships are more unified by Mu Yangling.

The Dragon Boat Festival in Guangzhou has always been grand. The academies have a seven-day holiday every time, and the holiday time is even before the Qingming and Mid-Autumn Festival, because the Dragon Boat Race is held every year, and all the academies will participate.

Xiao An and the others are too young to compete in the academy. They can only compete with two other small classes in the academy.

At that time, Fan Zijin, as the prefect of a government, not only had to attend the competitions of various academies, but also presided over the dragon boat competitions in various counties and all walks of life. With all kinds of government affairs piled up, he had no time to care about a few children.

Mu Yangling learned that the tiger-headed lions were going to participate in the competition, and Xiao An Qiwensu cheered them on as the cheerleader organizer, so he volunteered to help them customize uniforms and banners.

It was the first time for Xiao An and the others to participate in such a competition. When they saw Mu Yangling put forward various slogans, they thought that making banners was something everyone knew. took her advice.

At that time, Xiao An and the others were still in the Enlightenment class, and they were only seven years old, Hutou and the others were only six years old, and their classmates were all six or seven years old. When I heard that the classmates from the palace said they wanted to make banners, they thought this thing came from the capital. , joined eagerly.

So it was passed from the Enlightenment Class to the Junior Class, and then to other large classes.

By the time Mr. learned the news, the banners had been passed from their college to other colleges, and their own slogans were erected on both sides of the river bank. It was impossible for them to stop them.

The unassuming slogan    made the dragon boat race that year full of gunpowder smell, but the merchants were so excited that they went to various academies, willing to finance the cost of making the banner, just hoping to advertise their shop or business.

As a result, this habit has been maintained inexplicably. In the two years of Guangzhou's annual dragon boat competition, banners are flying all over the sky.

Up to now, college students in Guangzhou still think that this is the tradition of Jiangnan competitions, and they all feel that Jiangnan people are very confident, but they like it.

And the younger children thought it was a tradition of competition.

As young people like Xiao An and Qi Wensu naturally think so, so they don't think there is anything wrong with making banners for Xiaoxiong and the others. Isn't this a common thing?

But this is really not an ordinary thing. On the way back, Xiaobao kept explaining to them that they did not have the habit of making banners, which would make people feel arrogant and arrogant, trying to dissuade them.

However, the entrenched Xiao An and Qi Wensu resolutely refused to agree, Xiao An said solemnly: "This is obviously self-confidence and beautiful expectations, how can it be said to be arrogant and arrogant?"

"If the Cubs get the first, second, and third place, wouldn't they be ashamed?"

"Why do you lose face?" Xiao An has always accepted the educational idea of ​​celebrating if you achieve it, and aiming at it if you don't achieve it, "If you don't get the first place this time, try your best next time, and if you don't get it next time, try harder next time. , as long as the next time is better than this time, and the next time is better than the next time, they will get it one day, but if they do not set lofty goals first, then they will not work hard, how can they achieve this The target?"

Qi Wensu nodded fiercely.

Xiao An added: "Hutou and the others are determined to be generals, and they can't be generals now, but when they set this goal, they will work hard to learn martial arts and the art of war. When they are ten years old, they know better than they are when they are nine years old. More, set goals further, eleven-year-old is stronger than ten-year-old, more powerful every year, there will always be one year to become a general."

Qi Wensu nodded again, "Just like the prince's brother aspires to be a good emperor, you can't be a good emperor now, but you have been working hard towards this goal, haven't you, and then you will become better every year, and one day you will Be a good king."

Xiaobao was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead, I'll carry it for you if something goes wrong, no, I'll help you do it together."

Xiao An and Qi Wensu cheered, "That's great, we also said that the tiger head and the little lion are not here, we have to be very busy."

By the time the emperor received the news, the banners for the three children were almost finished, and there were even a few small pennants cut out beside them and tied to chopsticks. This is what Xiao An and Qi Wensu expected to cheer for Xiao Xiong and the others.

Little Treasure had never used it before, so he could only do as they ordered, and he had to learn how to use it from them, which made him feel novel for a while.

Qi Xiuyuan was also very novel. He held up the banner that read "Qi Wenjin must win the championship", looked around, nodded and said, "The calligraphy is good."

Xiao An raised his hand, "I wrote it!"

"Yes, he's even more powerful than your father when he was a child, and his youth is better than his own, but can you tell Uncle Huang who he learned from his brashness?"

Xiao An blinked, and he was keenly aware that Uncle Huang didn't seem very happy, at least it didn't sound like a compliment, thinking of what the fourth aunt said about being an honest child, he said: "The fourth uncle said that the first thing to do in war is to compare the momentum. , so the momentum cannot be lost, and the fourth aunt also said that as long as there is room for effort, the slogan should be typed out first, which can not only encourage people, but also give people a clear lofty goal."

"Well, this goal is quite lofty." Qi Xiuyuan had already picked up the second banner, and wrote "Qi Wennuo Qi Wenzheng will enter the top three", "There is still a glimmer of hope for the little bear to win the championship, the tiger head and the little lion can be Take the top three, all of you who think I'm the young man of Daqi are all paper?"

Xiao An shouted in dissatisfaction: "The tiger head and the little lion are very powerful. We go hunting in the other courtyard every year. Last year, they were able to follow the four uncles and four aunts into the mountains to hunt wild deer."

"Did they beat the deer, or was it your fourth uncle and four aunts?"

Xiao An pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Qi Xiuyuan said: "Change this banner. If you have to fight, just write some words of encouragement. You are not allowed to write such popular slogans."

Xiao An stubbornly looked at the emperor and did not speak, Xiao Bao hurriedly said good things for him, "Father, I think the second brother and cousin are also right."

He told him what Xiao An and Wen Su said word for word, and smiled: "As they said, it's always good to establish your aspirations first, Hutou and the others won't make it into the top three this year, next year and the year after, they will work harder for a few more years. Always get in."

Qi Xiuyuan glanced at him and asked, "Who said I want to hold autumn hunting every year?"

"..." Little Treasure coughed and whispered, "It will be done in a year..."

Qi Xiuyuan snorted softly, turned and left.

The three children breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the emperor agreed to this, and looked at each other excitedly.

Qi Xiuyuan agreed, Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran, who were also rushing towards this side, could only stop, Fan Zijin glared at Qi Haoran and said, "Well, after today, my face will be completely lost!"

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, "My son's name is on the banner, isn't it more embarrassing for me?"

"This is what you deserve. Who taught them to make banners? It's fine in Guangzhou. People all over Guangzhou follow it. It's not conspicuous when there are too many people. But if you look at the entire paddock, who does this thing?"

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said, "How about I ask people to make some banners and write the names of those people and hang them out?"

Fan Zijin choked.

Qi Haoran stalked his neck and said, "We have to lose face together, and this is the king's good expectation for them."

Fan Zijin didn't say anything, just looked at him fixedly.

Qi Haoran knew him best. Seeing what he didn't understand, he immediately swore, "I did this, and I also instructed the children."

Fan Zijin exhaled, patted his chest and said, "This candidate is also very particular, you wait, I will send you a list in a while."

"I'll go to the guards, maids, eunuchs and palace maids for help. I'll be able to make it when they hang up the banner."

Because of the limited time and limited banners made, the selection of the list is very important. Fan Zijin could not select all those thorns, nor all officials who would curry favor with Qi Haoran, let alone all civil servants or military generals. intensify the conflict.

So he chose according to a certain proportion, even the big officials and the small ones, the position and the personality of each person were taken into account.

Qi Haoran got the list and sighed, "It's a pity that Big Brother didn't put you in the Ministry of Officials."

Fan Zijin said proudly: "I'm not bad in the Ministry of Households. Who can compare to Master's ability to make money and count?"

This is true.

"That's why the eldest brother trained you as the prime minister."

Fan Zijin snorted contentedly.

And Mu Yangling said straight after hearing about the two people's methods: "It's so shameless."

Xiao Xia also looked at them in shock, thinking about whether to discourage them, after all, this would offend too many people, but Mu Yangling continued: "Lichun, they are all familiar, Xiaoting also helped to do it, called people Get a few and we'll help you do it, move faster."

"A Ling!" Xiao Xia turned to look at her in shock, accusing her, "You just said shameless."

"But dead Daoists are not dead Daoists, who made them their own children, and who will help them if we don't help them?"

This is also true, Xiao Xia hesitated for a while, and immediately said to Fan Zijin: "Our women's house is over. You wrote and sent it to us to help. Come on, don't miss Xiao An and the others."

Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran: "..."

Women are so fickle!

So who is shameless?

The two cousins ​​looked at each other and turned decisively to go to work.
