Chapter 730: Apprentice

Brother Yu wrinkled a small face, very sad.
"Can God really sense people's wishes? As long as the heart is pious, God will respond?"
"of course not!"
"But the emperor's grandfather offered sacrifices to the sky, and the rain fell from the sky. Everyone said this was a miracle, and was granted by the emperor."
"Miracles can also be created artificially. As long as people who are proficient in celestial phenomena calculate the rainy hour in advance, everyone can create miracles."
Similar conversations have occurred many times between mother and child since the sacrifice to heaven.
Then Yu Ge'er asked again: "My mother said that God could not respond to people's prayers. Is there any basis? Why is my mother so sure?"
"Because it was not a miracle, it was just a meditation planned performance."
"What if there is a miracle? If it is not a planned performance, is it really a response from heaven?"
Gu Jiu looked dazed.
Why are there so many children?
The head is big.
Emperor Wen De performed a miracle and was about to brainwash Yu Ge'er.
Gu Jiu thought about it, and finally made her think of a way.
Please skilled craftsmen, spend a few days to complete the production.
Then Gu Jiu brought Yu Ge'er to the Flower Hall.
The teapot is gassing and the water is boiling.
The boiling water bubbling.
The air coming out of the teapot's mouth drove a small bamboo chain, which in turn drove the palm-sized waterwheel.
The waterwheel the water in the pool and pours it into the potted plants.
Repeatedly!
Gu Jiu asked Brother Yu, "Just look at the waterwheel, is this a miracle? Without external force, the waterwheel will move on its own. Anyone who sees it will find it magical. But when you see the teapot and the bamboo chain, You just know, oh, it turns out that it is not a miracle. On the day of offering sacrifices to the sky, the rain falls from the sky is also not a miracle. It only needs to be carefully calculated by a person who is proficient in the sky, everything is possible."
Brother Yu stared at the spinning waterwheel, dazzled. There has never been anything that can make him so focused.
Brother Heng ran in from the door, clapped his hands, and exclaimed happily: "It's fun! I want to play too."
Gu Jiu touched Brother Heng's head, "This is not for fun, beware of hot hands."
Brother Yu's eyes glowed, and he asked Gu Jiu seriously, "Mother, what is this?"
Gu Jiu said, "This is steam!"
"steam?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Yes, it's steam. You see when the water boils, steam will come out. The steam is very hot and hot, and the bamboo chain will move when it is impacted by the steam. When the bamboo chain moves, the waterwheel will follow. Get up. The source of all ground is steam."
Brother Yu's face was serious, "Mother, is there really no miracle?"
"No!"
Yu Ge'er fell silent and began to use his small brain to think about serious scientific issues.
A few days later, he said to Gu Jiu: "Mother, my son would like to consult the supervisor!"
Gu Jiu asked him, "Have you thought about it?"
Yu Ge'er nodded his head, "My son has thought it through! My son has questions, so my son must ask clearly."
"Don't worry about Ren Jianzheng fooling you?"
"The son is not afraid!"
Gu Jiu laughed, and squeezed the child's cheek, "Go! Xie Mu Ri's tenure will go to the Shanhe Academy to talk to Mr. Yang, you can take the opportunity to ask them both."
Brother Yu immediately laughed, no longer the seriousness he was before, "Thank you, mother! Don't you worry about your son?"
"My mother believes you, you will have your own judgment and will not be easily taken into the ditch."
"What if my son is really taken into the ditch?"
"Then get up, pat the dust off your body, and start again!"
Brother Yu nodded, and said, "Mother don't worry, my son won't be led into the ditch."
"Don't speak big words, be careful of being slapped in the face afterwards. It hurts so loudly!"
Yu Ge'er immediately covered his cheek, "My son will not speak big words in the future."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Remember, you must have a good deal in your heart. You don't need to say anything to prevent being beaten. But you must have firm confidence in your heart."
Brother Yu nodded heavily.
On the day of rest, Yu Geer, escorted by the guards, went to Shanhe Academy.
The maid Aqing asked, "Isn't the madam worried about the eldest son?"
Gu Jiu took a bite of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "Of course I'm worried! But the child will grow up, and I can't protect him for the rest of my life. I always give him a chance to go out and learn more. learn from mistakes!"
The maid Aqing smiled and said: "Mother Fang has been talking about her since early this morning. She is very worried about the eldest son. She is afraid that the eldest son will be deceived."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Tell Madam Fang that she is just worrying. If you have time, go down the mountain to the school and teach more students."
"Have you forgotten Madam, Mother Fang is on vacation this month."
Gu Jiu patted his head, "Look at my memory. I have been silly for three years, and I honestly don't deceive this."
The maid Aqing smirked, covering her mouth, "Madam is so funny."
Gu Jiu squeezed her cheek, very tender.
"Follow this lady, you will become interesting in the future."
"The slave and maid are already satisfied to be able to take care of her."
...
Until the evening, Yu Ge'er returned from the academy.
After coming back, he shut himself in the room without eating.
Sister Fang was so anxious.
The guard said: "Mr. Yang asked his subordinates to tell his wife, don't worry about the son. The son has learned a lot of useful things today, and it takes time to absorb."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I see."
Brother Yu spent a few days and seemed to think clearly.
Gu Jiu looked at his clear eyes, obviously not being taken into the ditch.
congratulations!
The son has a good concentration, and he has his own judgment at such a young age, which is worthy of pride.
Gu Jiu wanted to reward Yu Ge'er with two big cream packets.
But before she could tell her the reward, Yu Ge'er first said: "Mother, my son wants to be the teacher of Ren Jianzheng."
puff!
Gu Jiu took a sip of water.
"Are you sure you want to worship the supervisor as a teacher?"
"Yes!" Yu Ge'er was very serious, never joking.
Gu Jiu put down his tea cup and asked solemnly: "Why is it not Mr. Yang, but Ren Jianzheng?"
Brother Yu didn't hesitate, and opened his mouth: "Mr. Yang is not suitable for his son. Ren Jianzheng has a great talent. He is his son's mentor and helpful friend."
"Oh? Why do you consider Ren Jianzheng? Because he is rich in knowledge, young, and good-looking?"
Yu Ge'er moved his little head, thought and thought, and said carefully: "Because he is funny. My son likes him. My son feels that he is with him and he becomes interesting. Maybe it's also because he is young and beautiful. He can talk about it. Of course, the most important thing is because he is very knowledgeable."
"Then, do you know that he is the Qintian Supervisor, a person whom your emperor grandfather values. If you want to worship him as a teacher, you must get your emperor's grandfather's approval."
Yu Ge'er thought for a while and said: "The son enters the palace to beg to see the emperor's grandfather and begs the emperor's grandfather to agree to his son's appointment as a teacher.
They all changed their slogans to Mr. Ren, and it seemed that Brother Yu had identified Ren Qiu.
Gu Jiu asked, "Did Mr. Ren promise to accept you as a teacher?"
"Mr. Ren said, as long as I want, he will."
Gu Jiu laughed and touched the child's head, "Okay, my mother will support you. But my mother will not help you this time. You have to convince the emperor grandfather on your own. Can you?"
"Son can!"
...
In order to persuade Emperor Wen De, Yu Ge'er prepared several days.
I deliberately chose a sunny day and took Brother Heng into the palace to ask for peace.
Gu Jiu nests in Xiaozhu, and if he doesn't help, he really doesn't help.
This caused the people at Xiaozhu to be extremely bad.
Even Qingmei, Qingzhu, and Xiaocui went to Xiaozhu to wait for news.
"Madam is really big-hearted. Actually let the eldest son take the second son into the palace. If there is an accident, what should I do."
"With Wang Yi and Zhao Minfa waiting by their side, nothing will happen."
"Madam, really rest assured?" Qingmei was worried about her stomach cramps.
She watched Yu Ge'er grow up, and when she thought that Yu Ge'er had to face His Majesty alone at a young age, she was more nervous than the client.
Gu Jiu smiled, "Don't worry, there will be nothing wrong with the two children. This lady has arranged everything."
Several people sighed in relief.
"I said Madam can't really ignore the two sons. Thank goodness! I hope the two sons can come back safely."
A few people, Qingmei, put their hands together, praying for the blessings of God and Buddha.
Mother Fang went directly to the temple, chanting and praying, very religious.
Gu Jiu rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed.
It seems that she, a mother-in-law, might as well care about the children as a few maids.
Sure enough, the heart is too big.
When the city gate was about to close, Brother Yu took Brother Heng back to Xiaozhu.
He came back with three carts of gifts, plus four little yellow gates and four court ladies.
"Thank God, the two sons finally came back." The maids were relieved.
Mother Fang cried with joy.
Brother Heng threw into Gu Jiu's arms, "Mother, my son missed you."
Gu Jiu hugged him and knocked on his little head, "Are you sweaty, playing crazy in the palace?"
Brother Heng grinned, it was indeed a crazy day.
Gu Jiu ordered the maid to take Brother Heng down to wash.
Then he beckoned Yu Ge'er to the front, "Let me go to the study to talk. You guys, just stand where you are without my wife's instructions."
Gu Jiu pointed to the Huangmen court lady who came from the palace.
Then she led Yu Ge'er to the study.
"Can you convince your grandfather?"
Yu Ge'er laughed, his eyes a little triumphant, "The imperial grandfather promised his son to hire Mr. Ren as a teacher. However, Mr. Ren is going to be a errand. Only after a rest day can his son go to study with Mr. Ren. On weekdays he still studies in the academy. "
Gu Jiu smiled, "Mother, I want to congratulate you. You persuaded your emperor grandfather by your own efforts. It's great. You know, your emperor grandfather is not an easy person to persuade. Let’s talk about the three carts of gifts outside. What's the matter with those other people?"
Yu Ge hurriedly said: "The three carts of gifts are rewarded by the old ancestor, the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandfather, and the harem women. They are given to our four brothers and sisters. Those few people are the old ancestor and the imperial grandmother to the son and the second. Brother, for us to dispatch."
The ancestor in Yu Ge'er's mouth refers to the Queen Mother Xiao.
The imperial grandmother is naturally Empress Pei.
Gu Jiu smiled suddenly, "Accept the gift. Those few people, my mother will take care of you."
Brother Yu was relieved and lightened, "Thank you, mother. My son is worrying about how to arrange those people."
"Go down! Go back to the palace next time, don't bring anyone back."
"Son understands."
