Chapter 175: The Fat Little Meow
Du Shaoqing patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder and refused and said, "I don't want to enter the court to participate in the fight. I just want to live a good life with my wife and children. But it's okay to give my brother-in-law some advice occasionally. As for following you, it's too tiring."
"How could it be? You are my brother-in-law, so I can't treat you as a subordinate and let you run errands in front of you." Li Chengqian quipped.
"A hero must have the ability to identify good talents, have the demeanor of being heroic and martial, and have the ability to follow talents, and have the ability to know people and be good at arbitrarily. What you lack now is not good help, but learning these things." Du Shaoqing suggested.
Li Chengqian nodded: "You are right, but no one has taught me these things except you. Without you, who will I learn from?"
"To your Majesty today, you are your father. He is the recognized master of the king. Your eldest son is close to the water and his parents are the best teachers. Do you still have to ask others to teach you? Others will have little thoughts, and only parents will not harm you."
Li Chengqian opened his eyes wide, as if he had known Du Shaoqing on the first day. How could this guy dare to say anything? Are you talking about the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? One by one, dad, even if you are the emperor's son-in-law, you can't do this without any etiquette, okay?
Listening to what the other party said was very reasonable and very simple and feasible, but that was in an ordinary family. When I remembered my father who was far away from him, Li Chengqian felt a secret and shook his head and said, "The father is only disappointed with me, so how can he teach me? He hired me three teachers, but they only know how to tell me the great truth. Sometimes I really envy you. Being an ordinary person is better than a prince."
Du Shaoqing was also speechless. The prince was twenty years old. Why was he like a problem boy? No wonder he became more and more paranoid and annoying. It seems that Li Er could be a good emperor but not necessarily a good father.
"Don't worry, think of a solution slowly. There is no real hatred between father and son, and others can't help you." After saying that, Du Shaoqing said goodbye and went out.
He was also worried about his daughter. The child and his second brother Du Shaoming went to the mountain behind the village to play. After so long, it was time to come down.
As soon as he walked to the back door, he saw his daughter walking with Du Shaoming. The little girl pointed at the little tiger cub behind her and said something. When she saw her father coming out, the little guy trotted into his father's arms.
"Dad, let's send Xiao Miaomiao back, don't want him."
"Oh? What's going on? Isn't he your best partner?" Du Shaoqing asked in surprise.
I don't know if the little tiger cub was following me, but kept coming up and rubbing Du Shaoqing's trouser legs, and whimpering from time to time. He looked so cute, as if he was afraid that he would be thrown away.
Xiao Xuanxuan pointed to Xiaohuzai and said, "Look at him, he has grown so old in just a few days. People can't hold him anymore. He always squeezes my seat when he sleeps. He eats a lot and is not obedient at all. He is not as cute as a child. Let's send him back and bring the little one in his family back."
Du Shaoming has already laughed all the way. This niece is so naive and cute. It is normal for the little tiger to grow fast. Besides, can you just switch back to the one in the mountains? I'm afraid the little tiger in the mountains will grow bigger than this one.
Du Shaoqing hugged his daughter and explained: "This is easy to deal with, so you can't blame Xiao Miaomiao.
You see, he grows faster if he eats more. If you can't hug you, it's because you grow too slowly. If you grow up quickly, wouldn't it be easy to pick up the little meow with your second uncle?"
As he said that, he also signaled his second brother Du Shaoming to pick up the tiger cub and demonstrate.
The little girl was indeed fooled and nodded heavily with gritted teeth: "Well, then I will eat more than him when I eat in the future, and I will be able to hold him faster than him."
Du Shaoming secretly gave his elder brother a thumbs up, thinking that this trick was really clever, and it solved the problem of the child's picky food.
Just as the two brothers were holding the child and leading the pet into the house, the little girl seemed to think for a while and spoke again, "No, Daddy, I can't eat too much, otherwise my belly will be broken.
Can we ask Xiao Miaomiao to eat less so that he will grow slower than me?
Hehe, I am indeed the smartest, so I will do it like this. I will tell Uncle Sanhu that I will not cook for Xiao Miaomiao in the future, just eat what I have left."
Seeing the child running towards the kitchen happily, Du Shaoqing and his brothers were both dumbfounded. They couldn't deceive a child for a long time?
The little meow at his feet ran to chase the little master, wondering if he was afraid that his food standards would be lowered.
A few days later, the Secretary of the Secretariat Wei Zheng came. He was ordered by the emperor to invite Du Shaoqing back. Although Wei Zheng didn't know why he went there himself? This was the emperor's son-in-law. Isn't it easy to send someone to recall it?
Following Wei Zheng, there was Princess Yizi brought out of the palace. This little princess hasn't seen her friend for a long time and insisted on pestering her out to find her. The queen couldn't get away, so she could only ask Wei Zheng to bring her together.
"I said, Lao Wei, you are not kind, I have only been home for a few days to enjoy my life. You are so anxious to take me back? I have cured your old cold legs for many years." As soon as we met, Du Shaoqing joked with Wei Zheng.
"Brother-in-law, guess who I am? I'm here to find Sister Xuanxuan." Princess Yizi hid behind Wei Zheng and shouted loudly.
Du Shaoqing looked at Wei Zheng in surprise. Why did he come with his children? Wei Zheng spread his hands and it was nothing to do with me.
However, Yizi's words made the two amused. Du Shaoqing pretended to think and said, "You ask me to guess, our Xuanxuan's good friend must be the cute little Yizi."
"Oh, my brother-in-law is so smart, I guessed it in one go." The little girl jumped out from behind.
Du Shaoqing picked up Wei Zheng and took Wei Zheng into the inn. I wonder if it was the Queen's explanation. Wei Zheng and Wei Zi did not bring the escort servants and others, but brought a housekeeper and coachman.
After handing the child to his wife, Du Shaoqing took Wei Zheng to the reception room after seeing the prince. Wei Zheng was surprised, why is the prince also here? Seeing his leg injury, he should have come here to treat the disease. No wonder, the prince has not appeared in March.
"I'm ashamed to say that I thought I was taking the responsibility of Hebei at the beginning. Who knew that Your Majesty was wise and actually counted all this as credit for me. But I stole your credit and didn't know how to explain it to you." Wei Zheng said embarrassedly.
Du Shaoqing waved his hand and smiled, "If it weren't, I'm afraid the ministers in the court would probably eat me. Besides, what credit is it, I'm a doctor, and it's useless to ask these."
"Is it really like Your Majesty said that you are devoted to the countryside and do not want to become an official? The pillars of the countryside are idle, isn't it a huge loss for the Tang Dynasty? You are still so young, how can you do this? No, even if you are arrogant, you will drag you back to Chang'an." Wei Zheng advised.
Du Shaoqing poured Wei Zheng a cup of tea and pressed the other party to not be so excited: "Old Wei, don't be so anxious first. Stay at my house for a few days to rest. I will talk about going to Chang'an after I talk about it. I didn't say I couldn't go. After all, there is a wife there waiting for me to marry."
