Chapter 67: The Knowledge of Gift Giving

Faced with Li Dongxu's inquiry, Yang Shuang naturally could not explain the purpose of the matter directly, and had to set up a trap step by step.

So Yang Shuang said: "To be honest with Master Li, there are two things for students to come to the door today. First, thank Master Li for his earnest teachings over the past few years, so he prepared some gifts and asked Master Li to accept them."

I saw the servants moving in a few brocade boxes.

Li Dongxu's face changed and he immediately said, "Please take the gift back! The emperor is the emperor who eats His Majesty's salary and is loyal to His Majesty. He is the prince's tutor for His Majesty, and even for the future of the Sui Dynasty. His Majesty comes with gifts. Wouldn't it be humiliating His Majesty? Moreover, since he became the prince's tutor, he has let down His Majesty's trust! The reason why His Majesty's deposed was to alienate the righteous and be close to the small people. This is the fault of the official, and he did not teach and assist, so the official felt ashamed and guilty. He was ashamed of the holy grace. How could he accept the gift?"

Yang Shuang had known his bad temper for a long time, so she was not angry, but waved her hand and asked the servant to retreat, and then asked: "Master Li, don't you look at these gifts first before getting angry?"

"Huh?" Li Dongxu was stunned. Looking at Yang Shuang's smiling expression, he stood up and picked up a brocade box, and said, "Since your highness has said it, then the official will open it. But the official has the words first. If there is something stinking in it, the official will report to Your Majesty according to the rules. If the official is incompetent, he will never dare to accept this great gift."

Yang Shuang smiled and nodded, stretched out her hand to signal him to open the brocade box.

It was Li Dongxu's turn to be surprised. Could it be that the brocade box was something he unexpected?

So he opened the brocade box.

Then, his eyes widened and he showed a surprised expression.

I saw a booklet in the brocade box, which turned out to be a book, not gold, silver and jewelry at all.

"What is this?" Li Dongxu asked curiously.

Yang Shuang sighed leisurely: "I will not hide it from Master Li. During the period when the student left the palace, he has been staying in the royal palace to cultivate his character, reflecting carefully, reflecting on his own virtues, and discovering many problems of his own, and understands one sentence even more: ability is not high or low, responsibility is not big or small. So even if I don't become the prince, I can still contribute to the Great Sui Dynasty. My father often asked me to learn from Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr.

"I have been reading the rules for forty years, and there is a blue sky on my head. A man wants to draw the Tai Chi Hall, but his first fame is not a fan."

"And this book is something I deeply feel that I am not good at dealing with things and being a person, and I have reflected on myself. I only wrote the beginning part. The writing is immature and difficult to finish, so I dedicated it to Mr. Mr., please help me with my pen."

"I also hope that the contents in this book can educate the children of the Sui Dynasty, let them be enlightened in their childhood, and grow into useful talents in the Sui Dynasty."

Yang Shuang's words were full of emotion, which amazes Li Dongxu.

He didn't care about anything he said, and quickly opened the booklet, which read:

"A man's nature is good at the beginning. His nature is similar and his habits are far apart. If he does not teach, his nature will move. The way of teaching is to be specialized. In the past, Meng Mother chose a neighbor. If his son did not learn, he would break the loom."

.....

That's right, it's the Three Character Classic.

Yang Shuang plagiarized the "Three Character Classic" without hesitation, but he deleted allusions that did not match this era and wrote only a part of them.

The purpose of not finishing the work is to not cause too much shock, and secondly to make a trap.

Sure enough, Li Dongxu's eyes were shocked.

First, I was surprised by the exquisite and regular small calligraphy of the hairpin, followed by the concise and profound educational significance of the "Three Character Classic".

If you finish writing such an article, it will definitely become a must-read item for children of the Great Sui Dynasty to enlighten their wisdom!

"Good articles, good articles!" Li Dongxu hurriedly praised.

Yang Shuang said humbly: "Students are not capable enough to monitor the court like a teacher and act as the embodiment of order. They cannot ask for the people like Gao Gong, Gao, and reduce unjust cases. They can only write articles and make some contributions to the Sui Dynasty."

Li Dongxu was also from the imperial examination and was a literati. He weighed the "Three Character Classic" and said with emotion: "Your Highness's words are not bad! The significance and value of your book are greater than me and Gao Bing! Your Highness should not belittle yourself. If you give great responsibilities to this, you must first suffer his will. The dethronement of the position of the crown prince is just a hard work. What's the problem of striving for success again?"

"Thank you for your teachings, the student understands." Yang Shuang bowed and asked immediately: "Will that sir be willing to accept this gift?"

Li Dongxu couldn't put it down and said, "Of course I have to accept it! I will find some great scholars and fill in your unwritten "Three Character Classic" as soon as possible, and sign it to Your Majesty together. I believe that after the "Three Character Classic" is published in the future, it will cause shock in the Confucian world, haha..."

After saying that, Li Dongxu looked at other Jinbos again, his eyes showing enthusiasm.

Since it is not a vulgar thing such as copper stinking, what are the other brocade boxes containing?

Yang Shuang saw his performance and quickly opened another brocade box, and saw a scroll inside.

"Is this calligraphy and painting?" Li Dongxu asked.

Yang Shuang explained: "This is a poem written by a student. I want to offer it to Your Highness, not everyone's work. I hope you don't dislike it."

"Oh? What you wrote yourself?" Li Dongxu became more interested and quickly unfolded the scroll.

I saw a dragon flying on the paper and a phoenix was written in cursive writing:

"Life has no roots, floating like dust on the street.

Disperse and wind, this is already very good.

If you land as a brother, why bother with your own flesh and blood!

Have fun as joy, and drink wine and gather together next to each other.

If the prime of life does not come again, it will be difficult for the morning to go back.

We should encourage you in time, and time will not wait for others."

Li Dongxu couldn't help but read the whole poem loudly, then fell in love with it and praised loudly: "It's wonderful, wonderful! Your Highness can truly realize it."

......

Outside the window, Li Ruoru and Li Bo were squatting and eavesdropping.

Li Ruoruo is waiting for his name to be a master, and this is the first time he has seen Yang Shuang.

It is rumored that the prince is a straightforward and honest person, but when he sees him today, he feels that the rumors are false.

He looks handsome and gentle. He faces his old-fashioned father, speaks appropriately, and goes step by step, full of wisdom, and tricks his father into a trap step by step.

"Sister, look! The King of Ming gave me books and poems he wrote! Look, my father was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. Didn't he never accept gifts? Why did he accept them today?" Li Bo complained.

Li Ruoruo glared at his younger brother and whispered: "Speak quietly, don't be heard. This is the smart person who gives gifts. He has to accept what he loves. It seems that King Ming came today because he has something to ask for."

"Yes, King Ming said just now, there are two things, what is the second thing?" Li Bo raised his head, couldn't help but adjust his posture, and looked at the situation inside the house through the crack in the door.

Unexpectedly, Yang Shuang noticed the slightest movement and immediately looked at the window, just in time to look at Li Bo.

Li Bo was so scared that he quickly shrank his head and whispered to his sister: "Sister, it's not good, I've been discovered."
