Chapter 198 The book has its own golden house(2/2)
Cheng Shaoshang frowned and said, "Since my second uncle has started teaching, why can't I come and listen?"
Ge Shi wondered, didn't this girl get dizzy before when she read and practiced calligraphy? What happened today?
"You are a little girl. What are you doing by learning those lessons? It delays the noble people from listening to the lectures. Even if your mother comes back, she won't be able to protect you!"
Cheng Shaoshang curled his lips and said, "I don't. Sister Sisi can get in, so why can't I? Second uncle, don't you think so?"
Cheng Cheng also felt a little sorry for his niece's experience, and said softly: "Why don't you just let Niao Niao stand aside and listen."
Just as Ge was about to retort, Qin Hao took the opportunity to say: "Sir, it's strange that the classroom is deserted with just us and Sanniangzi. It would be more lively if there are more people."
Cheng Cheng then said to Ge: "Since it is a good thing for Niao Niao to want to learn, why bother to restrain her? This class has been delayed for some time..."
Ge Shi glanced at Qin Hao reluctantly before leaving.
Cheng Shaoshang sat down next to Qin Hao proudly and laughed softly: "I must be smart."
Qin Hao was happy: "Smart, I was just trying to find a reason for you to enroll in school, but you found the opportunity on your own."
Cheng Cheng said with a straight face: "Even if you are determined to learn, don't make trouble."
"Oh." Cheng Shaoshang pursed his lips and sat upright obediently.
Cheng Cheng told Qin Hao and Cheng Shu a piece of The Analects of Confucius. Seeing that Cheng Shaoshang was confused after listening to it, he got her some small bamboo tablets for literacy and taught her how to read.
Cheng Shaoshang focused on what Qin Hao said about the golden house in the book, so he studied seriously. Coupled with his talent, he quickly learned the characters of the Xiaozhu brand.
Cheng Cheng was a little surprised: "Niao Niao has inherited my sister-in-law's intelligence, and she can do it with just a few clicks."
Cheng Shaoshang tilted his head and asked Cheng Cheng a question: "Second uncle, do my parents really not want me?"
Cheng Cheng had some embarrassment on his face. Seeing his niece's ignorant and sensitive look, he felt distressed and said, "It's nonsense. How can there be parents in this world who don't want their own children? It's just that my brother and sister-in-law are out killing the enemy and quelling the chaos, and they are not allowed to return to the court. That’s why I left Niao Niao at home.”
Cheng Shaoshang then beamed: "That's it, thank you, second uncle."
Qin Hao sighed secretly. Cheng Shaoshang was one of the left-behind children during the Han Dynasty. He only waited until she grew up before her parents returned to the capital. Generally, before the age of three is the best time for children to establish trust with their parents. If they want to make up for it later, It's very difficult.
However, Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi missed Cheng Shaoshang's entire childhood. This lack of relationship cannot be repaired.
For more than a month, Qin Hao went to Cheng's house for classes basically every day. Cheng Cheng also found that Qin Hao could no longer be described as intelligent. Both his memory and understanding abilities were far superior to those of his peers, and his calligraphy was also visible to the naked eye. Making progress.
But Cheng Cheng didn't know that this was the result of Qin Hao's efforts to suppress it. If he wrote with his right hand, Cheng Cheng would probably call him a monster.
Through this period of study, Cheng Shaoshang finally got rid of the embarrassing situation of illiteracy, kept up with Cheng Cheng's teaching progress, and began to learn the Analects of Confucius.
Cheng Shu's progress is not as obvious as that of Cheng Shaoshang. It's not that she is inferior in talent. It's just that she already has a certain foundation, but her progress is not as fast as that of Cheng Shaoshang. This also makes her work harder. This little girl doesn't look at Rou. Even those who are weak and weak actually have a competitive spirit.
During this period, Qin Fang had been performing his duties for more than a month. He gradually understood the situation in the DPRK and no longer had to walk on thin ice as before.
The number of banquets he received also increased. Sometimes Qin Fang would bring Qin Hao to attend the banquets. Qin Hao's performance at these banquets also won him some praise.
Don't underestimate these praises, this is the beginning of raising your reputation. The so-called reputation is actually, to a large extent, everyone complimenting each other.
Of course, there are conditions for flattery. Everyone cherishes feathers. If you are really not qualified, no one will take the risk of self-destruction by flattering you. Only people like Qin Hao who have certain real qualities can make people feel confident. Do not hesitate to promote it.
After a series of "praisings", Qin Hao became a well-known young gentleman in the capital at a young age. Although it is still too early to talk about marriage at this age, many people are already interested in him.
For more than a month, Qin Hao, in addition to pretending to be a child and attending classes, also devoted himself to improving the living environment of Qin Mansion.
The most important thing is diet. The diet of the Han Dynasty simply drove him crazy.
In fact, the seasonings during the Han Dynasty were not expensive. Salt, vinegar, soy sauce, onions, ginger, and pepper were all available for a long time, but the production process was flawed.
Qin Hao improved some techniques, including salt and vinegar.
The salt of the Han Dynasty basically came from salt wells. King Liu Bi of Wu and King Liu An of Huainan all relied on the mountains to boil salt and cast money. The wealth accumulated from this gave them the capital to rebel. Later, salt and iron became the exclusive specialty of the imperial court. Only in the Han Dynasty The technology for mining salt wells was not yet mature, so the salt produced had many impurities and even had a bitter taste, which was completely different from the snow-white salt that came later.
Qin Hao's method is to process the original coarse salt through heating, charcoal filtration, condensation and other processes to remove the original impurities and make snowflake salt.
At first, Qin Hao just wanted to improve his life and save his taste buds. Later, when Qin Fang accidentally saw snowflake salt, he was immediately amazed. Later, he learned that this method could be applied to extract edible salt from salt mines.
After the experiment, Qin Fang found that it was indeed feasible, so he pulled Emperor Wen out of bed that night.
Emperor Wen originally looked at Qin Fang with resentment, but when he told Emperor Wen a portion of snowflake salt and the method of extracting edible salt from salt mines, Emperor Wen was immediately delighted.
"Qin Aiqing, who thought of this method? I want to reward him heavily!"
Upon hearing that Qin Fang said that his six-year-old son came up with it, Emperor Wen immediately wondered whether this guy bought the formula to make his son famous.
It wasn't until Qin Fang swore to the ancestors of the Qin family that Emperor Wen believed it and summoned Qin Hao. When he learned that Qin Hao came up with the idea of improving the salt-making process because of his desire for food, he was a little dumbfounded.
"Qin Aiqing's recipe will benefit the people, so he will be granted the title of Marquis of Guannei."
After all, Qin Hao was too young to be given an official position, and the title was not suitable, so the reward fell on Qin Fang.
Qin Fang himself did not expect that he would actually take advantage of his six-year-old son.
