Compulsory education in ancient times

Tao Jianran went back to the imperial study for a short rest, and when he heard the sound of the pendulum, he opened his eyes, and Qi Bohan's face appeared in front of him.

"Did we talk?" Tao Jianran got up and rubbed his eyes, the voice that just woke up was not as clear as usual, but a little soft.

Qi Bohan supported Tao Jianran to get up, kissed him on the cheek a few times, and said, "We're done."

After finishing speaking, Qi Bohan asked Tao Jianran to look behind him.

Seeing that the four little guys had already lined up obediently, Bao'er pouted, looked at Tao Jianran worriedly, and said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, Dad, Bao'er will definitely be obedient and obedient in the future, and unite with brothers and sisters."

When Tao Jianran heard this, he looked at Qi Bohan with some doubts.But Qi Bohan smiled mysteriously, and didn't intend to explain now.

And Belle also continued: "I'm sorry, Dad, I won't bully my brother in the future."

Tao Jianran frowned, he didn't expect Qi Bohan to subdue the two little devil kings properly.

Although Tao Jianran didn't know what Qi Bohan was trying to sell, but seeing that Bao'er Bei'er didn't look frightened, he felt relieved.Maybe we can let Qi Bohan take care of the children in the future, don't worry about him beating him up.

While thinking, Tao Yanran squatted down, rubbed Bao'er and Bei'er's heads, and said softly: "If you know your mistakes and can correct them, you are a good boy."

After finishing speaking, he also rewarded Baobao and Beibei for touching their heads: "Baby and Beibei are the most obedient, dad can reward each of you with one wish!"

When Beibei heard this, she immediately stopped eating her hands and said happily, "Beibei wants to eat a lot of delicious food!"

The baby also continued: "Baby wants to take Beibei to eat a lot of delicious food!"

Hearing the simple wishes of the two children, Tao Yanran chuckled lightly: "Okay, okay, dad will ask Yuchu to prepare delicious food for Beibei tomorrow!"

Baobao and Beibei jumped up and down with joy.

Afterwards, after the family had breakfast together, they changed their clothes before starting a day trip outside the palace.

The first stop is the pregnant aunt's house!

Tao Jianran was on the carriage, and told the four children: "My aunt has a baby in her belly. After you go to aunt's house, you must not make trouble, otherwise the baby will be unhappy and won't come out to play with you in the future."

"When will the little baby come out to play with us?" Bao'er asked eagerly.

"Well, after the Chinese New Year, it will be almost time." Tao Yanran touched his chin.There should be a lot of cotton harvest this year, so I can make some small padded clothes and padded jackets for each of these children and my younger sister's children.

Bao'er didn't know how long it would be until the Chinese New Year, so she nodded with a vague understanding.

The baby asked again: "How small is the baby? Is it smaller than Beibei?"

"Well, it's probably so small." Tao Jianran made a gesture, and the eyes of the four children lit up instantly.

so small!

Bao'er immediately stood up excitedly: "Can Bao'er hold the baby?"

Beibei also asked: "Then can Beibei feed the baby sweets?"

Belle's eyes moved over Bao'er's chubby cheeks: "Little baby's face must be softer than Bao'er's."

The four children in the carriage were chirping and talking, which was very lively.

Tao Yanran's mood also became more relaxed, leaning on Qi Bohan's shoulder, looking at the innocent smiling faces of the four children, all the troubles before were gradually going away.

The low-key carriage drove all the way into the small second-entry house that Tao Jianran bought for Tao Xiaomei and his wife. Now only the couple and Aunt Liu live in this house, so it doesn't look cramped.

Tao Jianran and his party came to visit suddenly, and they didn't say hello before. At this time, only Tao Xiaomei was at home, and the door was opened by the shadow guards over the wall.

Tao Xiaomei heard movement in the house, went out to take a look, and saw a strange carriage parked in her yard.

Then four cute little dolls like snow jade jumped out of the carriage, Tao Xiaomei immediately relaxed her vigilant expression, and smiled at Tao Jian who had just got off the carriage: "Brother is coming, why don't you say anything?"

"It's nothing important, just bring the children to see you." Tao Yanran pulled the four children to Tao Xiaomei, "Come, call me aunt."

"Hello, aunt." The four children stared eagerly at Xiaomei Tao's pregnant belly, as if they wanted to show the baby.

Tao Xiaomei is about to become a mother now, and she loves the four children very much, so she quickly said: "The sun outside is scorching, let's go inside and sit down."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked to the living room.

Tao Jianran looked at Tao Xiaomei with her big belly and no one to support her when she was walking, so she stepped forward to help her very worried, and said: "It's okay that the moon is small now, but when the time comes, the belly will grow, I can't let you stay alone. Why don't you hire a maid again?"

Tao Xiaomei refused to agree: "I don't like having other young girls at home."

Seeing Tao Xiaomei's possessive expression, Tao Jianran couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But seeing Tao Xiaomei's angry appearance, Tao Yanran quickly changed the subject: "Don't want a little maid, then please hire a more careful nanny. After the baby is born, I can help you take care of it."

This proposal is not bad, and Tao Xiaomei nodded, agreeing.

Seeing this, Tao Jianran didn't say any more.Although there are many suitable nuns in the palace, they pay too much attention to rules.Tao Jianran didn't want Tao Xiaomei's family to be bound by those palaces outside the palace.

Moreover, with Xiaomei Tao's abilities, she didn't need the help of her big brother to find a reliable nanny.

After coming to the living room, the shadow guards found that there was no one else in the room, so they immediately went to make tea consciously, which can be said to be an excellent example of changing jobs!

Looking at such an attentive shadow guard, Qi Bohan snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.

Tao Jianran and Tao Xiaomei were gossiping, and the four little dolls huddled beside Tao Xiaomei, listening to Tao Xiaomei's belly without blinking.

Seeing their cute appearance, Tao Xiaomei couldn't help amused and said, "Would you like to touch them?"

"Is it possible?!" Bao'er turned to look at Tao Jianran expectantly.

Tao Jianran nodded: "Don't use too much force."

"I promise not to use too much force!" Bao'er jumped forward, and was the first to run up to Xiaomei Tao.

Tao Xiaomei held Bao'er's hand and attached it to her stomach.

Bao'er thought nothing special at first, but suddenly, he felt his hand was kicked, and immediately opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "Baby kicked me!!"

Belle heard the words, and also leaned forward: "Peyer wants to touch it too!"

"Come one by one, don't crowd my aunt." Tao Jianran said.

The four children immediately lined up consciously, waiting to pet the baby, and the atmosphere in the room was very peaceful.

After Tao Yanran and his party had lunch at Tao Xiaomei's house, they went to the next "attraction" to visit: the Military Academy.

Other schools have summer vacations, but the Military Academy does not.Moreover, it was a dry day, and the students had to conduct rigorous training under the scorching sun.

This is nothing, the soldiers are used to it.

What I can't bear today is that they are training under the scorching sun, and there is a family in the pergola not far away, eating fruit snacks and watching leisurely!How can it be repaired!

Tao Jianran did not receive the soldiers' resentment, but waited until the freshness of the babies had passed, and took the opportunity to start a serious ideological education: "In order to defend the family and the country, the soldiers have to go through very harsh training every day. Your own flesh and blood support us a peaceful blue sky. Therefore, every soldier deserves our respect, you know?"

The children half-understood, but still nodded obediently.

Tao Jianran rewarded each with a small grape with satisfaction, and continued: "When the babies enter elementary school next year, they will have physical education classes. Just like the soldiers, they will start exercising."

Proper exercise helps children grow physically, and according to the tradition of Ruichao, the children of the aristocratic family are about this age, and they will learn to ride and shoot.

Tao Jianran felt that riding a horse was still a bit dangerous at the age of the babies, but he could start to practice small skills such as drawing a bow.

When I think of a group of little dolls dressed in riding and archery suits, lined up in a neat row, practicing bow drawing with a small face on the floor seriously, it is simply too cute!

There was a honey smile on Tao Jianran's face, and the four little babies didn't know that their hard days were coming, so they also laughed foolishly.

After the group ate a student meal at the military academy, the one-day tour outside the palace also ended successfully.

The next day, Tao Jianran obeyed and taught the chef to make cakes, cookies and other small snacks for the babies to eat.

After this rare and short parent-child vacation, Tao Yanran and Qi Bohan returned to heavy work.

There is no news from Nanman, but after going out, it seems that luck has changed, and good news comes one after another.

A team of hidden guards found corn!

However, this corn was quite different from Tao Jianran's impression.

Most of the corn brought back by the dark guards was only half the size of an adult's palm. The corn kernels were extremely small, and they were bluish-white in color. They looked like they had been picked before they were mature.

Tao Jianran turned to look at the dark guard: "These are already the closest to the portrait?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have asked the people around me, and this is already the biggest. The people have never seen the yellow fruit that Your Majesty mentioned." The dark guard said, feeling a little guilty.Worried that the corn was not what Tao Jianran wanted, then their team would not have enough time to start looking for it again.If they don't succeed this time, they probably won't be able to change jobs.

Tao Jianran looked at the shrunken version of corn for a while, and suddenly remembered that this should be corn that has not been domesticated, and naturally it cannot be the same as the corn that will grow thousands of years later.

So he was relieved, and said to the dark guard: "This should be corn, you have done a good job, go back and have a good rest."

Hearing this, the dark guard breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thanked En and left.

Only Tao Jianran was left, worrying about this sack of "underage" corn.

Qi Bohan noticed Tao Jianran's emotions, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy that you found the corn?"
