The Three Spirit Stones

One afternoon, Cheng Yu called Zhao Shouyi to his study and said to him, "Shouyi, your health has completely improved."

When Zhao Shouyi heard this, the smile on his face froze. He was stunned for a while before he said timidly, "Uncle Yu, I don't think I'm fully recovered yet. I still feel dizzy sometimes."

Cheng Yu smiled, very good, I have learned to lie.

Then I deliberately asked him, "When do you think you will be completely well?"

"...Well, I don't know. It may take a long time!"

"Don't you miss your father?"

"I miss them, but I miss Uncle Yu, Aunt Cai and Fugui more,"

"Hahaha!"

Cheng Yu laughed heartily and said, "It's a benefit. Everyone has his mission. This is not something you can choose. You are the crown prince. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be the emperor of the Song Dynasty in the future. Do you know how much responsibility an emperor has to bear?"

He nodded. His father, the Empress Dowager, and the palace tutors had all told him about this when he was very young.

"I know it's a little cruel to ask a child as young as you to endure these things, but there's nothing I can do. This is your fate!"

"I just hope...when you are unhappy in the future, you can remember the happiness of today!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shouyi's eyes began to turn red. He choked and said, "I understand, Uncle Yu, I'm not dizzy. I just lied to you. I'm sorry! I can come back to the palace anytime."

Cheng Yu felt a little emotional!

He is such a good child, he can sacrifice himself to accommodate others. If it were Acai, he wouldn't go back and the phrase "I'm sorry" wouldn't exist.

"Benefit, in fact, now that you are back in the palace, Uncle Yu will come to see you when he has time. I am your tutor and I will teach you how to box!"

When the prince heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he said happily, "Yes! Then we have a deal. You must come to see me as soon as you have time."

Cheng Yu nodded.

"What about Aunt Cai and Fugui? Can they also come to the palace to see me?"

"That may be difficult. Your Aunt Cai cannot enter the palace without an invitation from the harem."

Hearing this, he felt a little disappointed.

"But you can write to her, and I will bring it to her when I enter the palace."

"Yes! Yes!"

He is happy again!

Zhao Shouyi calmed himself down and prepared to return to the palace the next morning.

Who would have thought that after hearing the news, Ah Cai would make a scene in the yard and not allow Zhao Shouyi to leave?

Chen Lin finally understood why Cao Wei called her little ancestor!

She was rude and pointed at Cheng Yu angrily.

"You're not at home every day. It's hard to find someone to accompany me, which makes my life better. Have you ever considered my feelings when you sent him away?"

Cheng Yu said helplessly, "Caibao, the beneficiary is the prince. He has been here for so long and has fallen behind in many studies. He has to go back to catch up on his studies."

"Yes, he is the prince and will be the emperor in the future. Why does he need to study so much when he is already the emperor? He doesn't need to find a job!"

She said speciously,

"But his father and mother are both in the palace, so he has to go back!"

"Then his parents can come here to see him!"

Cheng Yu was a little angry, pointing at her and said, "Cheng Acai, you can't be unreasonable."

Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, she tried the soft approach and said with a sad face, "Hubby, Xiaoyi is not well yet. I heard him say yesterday that he felt dizzy, had blurred vision, lost his appetite, and had weakness in his limbs. He is sick and needs treatment!"

Then he glared at Zhao Shouyi and said, "Xiaoyi, you clearly said that yesterday, right?"

Zhao Shouyi only now realized that Aunt Cai could tell lies at will. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Cheng Yu was so angry that he laughed. He pointed at her nose and said, "The benefit doesn't need to be cured. You should be cured. You need to cure your rude temper!"

After saying that, he picked her up and took her back to the bedroom to clean up.

She got mad!

She opened her mouth and bit Cheng Yu's shoulder. Cheng Yu slapped her on the butt with equal force. She screamed in pain, so loud that the whole mansion could hear it, and the people in the yard twitched their mouths!

Chen Lin is in charge of the Imperial City Division and has the most experience in dealing with evil people. No matter what kind of person he is, he will be obedient after being punished once!

But he really couldn't do anything about Ah Cai.

A woman with immortal bloodline cannot be hit or scolded, and she will not reason with you.

Fortunately, the Marquis is her husband and can control her, otherwise I don’t know how lawless she can be?

……

……

Two or three days after Zhao Shouyi left, Ah Cai was depressed, so Cheng Yu stayed at home to accompany her.

"Baby, can I go play pot tossing with you?"

"No, I'm tired of playing."

"How about going to see an opera?"

"What's so good about it? Eeyore! It's not as good as my singing!"

"Let's go to the restaurant to eat crystal chicken and river saury?"

"No appetite,"

Cheng Yu actually knew that she was bored at home. When she first came to Bian Jing, everything seemed new to her and life was easy, but problems arose after a while.

For someone who is used to a modern and superior life, the food, drink and entertainment in Bianjing City are not good enough.

In modern times, there are all kinds of colorful entertainment activities, the Internet, study and work. There is no time to be bored.

But here, except Cheng Yu, no one else can chat with her at all. But Cheng Yu is very busy and often comes back at night. Sometimes she is already asleep when he gets home!

In the few months since Zhao Shouyi came, the two of them have been able to talk to each other. One is about the child, and the other is about the child's temper. Although the content of their conversations is sometimes childish, they can still chat.

Cheng Yu thought about taking her along to work, but the traffic conditions here were really hard to describe.

She thinks the carriage is bumpy and she can't ride a horse. It's better to carry her while riding, but she complains of sore waist and legs after sitting for a while. She is also arrogant and wants this and that all the time. It's enough for me to just take care of her.

He had always hoped to find something that would interest her and allow her to pass the time, but he had no idea what to let her do until one day, when he saw the children of the workers in the soap factory.

He suddenly remembered that when Ah Cai was teaching Shouhui, her serious expression was very much like a teacher. He suddenly had an idea.

Can she teach these children to read?

This would benefit both parties. She would have something to do and wouldn't lose her temper, and the children would be able to learn to read, which would be of great benefit to their growth. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him.

When I got home that night, she was lying on the bed in a daze. I held her in my arms, kissed her face, and asked,

"What are you thinking about?"

"I didn't think anything,"

"I have something to discuss with you,"

"What's up?"

"Aren't there a lot of female workers in our soap factory? Many of them have children. These children play around in the factory every day. I thought, why don't you teach them to read? This will be of great benefit to them in the future!"

She was surprised and asked, "Don't these children have to go to school? Why are they playing around in the factory?"

"The schools here are called private schools, which are only for rich people. They are all poor. They couldn't even afford to eat before they entered the factory, so how could they afford to send their children to private schools?"

"Actually, you don't need to teach them anything, just teach them to recognize words,"

Hearing this, she immediately perked up and agreed immediately!

In the following days, she prepared teaching materials at home. Cheng Yu allocated a piece of land near the factory and built more than a dozen rooms as classrooms, and also built a two-story building next to it for her to live in.

The soap factory is now quite large, with thousands of employees, including more than 300 children of all ages.

When the workers heard that they wanted to hire a teacher to teach their children to read, they were immediately excited!

When it was time to get off work, everyone went to the classroom spontaneously to help with the work, moving bricks and tiles, and they were very busy!

Soon the classroom was built.

These classrooms are so beautiful, with large bright glazed windows, solid floors, and rows of wooden tables and chairs. The most peculiar thing is that there is a large black wooden board right in the front.

In fact, transparent glass has been developed since the invention of coke. Although the transparency is not ideal and it cannot be made into large pieces, it can still be used to make windows.

When it comes to the design of the classroom, Acai requires a blackboard, and if there is a blackboard, there must be chalk. Making chalk is a piece of cake for this top engineering student.

Then there was the paper for printing textbooks. Cheng Yu had a small paper mill. Because papermaking caused a lot of pollution, he did not plan to expand the scale. At first, he only wanted to make paper for Ah Cai.

Later, Ah Cai discovered that Dongmei and Xiahe used wood ash during their periods, so she gave them some straw paper to try. After trying it, they could never go back.

Then, the women of Cheng Mansion, Sun Mansion, and Cao Mansion all asked to buy toilet paper, and even some of their best friends and female companions wanted to buy it.

So the paper mills were forced to expand production, and later they made some paper for printing. Today, children's books are made of this paper. Although it looks quite inferior, it is fine as long as it can be used.
