Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 889 Qi Ziqi

In the autumn of the tenth year of Hongqing, Du Jinning hurried back from other places.

This year, the south was flooded, and Du Jinning went to the south when the flood receded to direct the victims to build water conservancy projects.

Although her research direction in her previous life was agricultural planting, water conservancy is closely related to planting. She has some understanding of water conservancy proposals, at least much better than people in this era.Therefore, before bringing out talents in this field, she had to go to battle in person to explore the landforms, and work out the general orientation and type of water conservancy proposals with officials from the Ministry of Industry.

The transportation is inconvenient, and she stayed there for a month. When she came back, she had been away from home for almost four months.

After entering the Princess Mansion, she went straight to the backyard, and as soon as she reached the Chuihua Gate, she saw several people standing there surrounded by a little Douding.

Qi Ziqi was born in the spring of the seventh year of Hongqing, and he is now three and a half years old.

Du Jinning and Qi Muyuan are both good-looking and high-intelligence people. Kid Qi Ziqi has lived up to his parents' genetics in the slightest. It is almost the same as my child, but as soon as he starts to speak, he jumps out word by word, and can express his meaning very clearly.He can also understand what adults say, and after saying it once, he can remember it.

This made Qi Bokun overjoyed and didn't know what to do.

If it weren't for Zhao He's repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, and another mother-in-law who wished to live in the princess mansion, he would have wanted to retire and go home to bring his great-grandson.

The child's memory is short, and he hasn't seen him for half a year. Seeing Qi Ziqi standing there, staring at him blankly, Du Jinning knew that he had almost forgotten him.

The maidservant in the mansion knew her own princess's temperament. Since she learned that she had entered the mansion, someone quickly went to the kitchen, brought water and towels in a copper basin, and brought them to Du Jinning.

Du Jinning washed his hands and face, then walked up to Qi Ziqi who had been staring at him for a moment, and called out, "Small."

Only Du Jinning would call him like that, others would call him "Little County King" or "Qi'er".

So this sound was like a button switch, and Qi Ziqi's small face burst into a big smile, rushed over like a small cannonball, threw himself into Du Jinning's arms, and called out crisply: "Mother!" .” There was joy in the voice, but also a hint of grievance.

I haven't seen my mother for half a year, the child is very aggrieved.

Du Jinning squatted down, kissed his chubby cheek, and asked with a smile, "What did Qi'er do at home?"

"I was playing ball just now." Qi Ziqi said in a childish voice.

Only then did Aunt Yan come up and explained with a smile: "The empress dowager sent someone to pick up the little county king to the palace this morning. He saw the fifth prince playing ball and wanted it too, so the empress dowager gave him one."

Because Qi Ziqi is smart and cute, Empress Dowager Zheng likes him very much, so she sends people to pick him up to the palace from time to time.

As for the fifth prince, it was the niece of Empress Dowager Zheng who married into the palace. He is four and a half years old this year.Because of their similar age, Queen Mother Zheng often asked the two to play together.

"Mother, mother." Qi Ziqi tugged on Du Jinning's sleeve, and after she focused on him, he said, "The queen mother's grandmother said that Qi'er is smarter than the elder brother of the fifth prince."

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Aunt Yan with wide eyes, motioning for her to add more details.

Aunt Yan laughed and said, "The empress dowager taught the fifth prince how to read. After teaching the fifth prince twice, he couldn't remember it, but our little county king remembered it and said it directly. The empress dowager praised the little prince for being smart. .”

Qi Ziqi looked at Du Jinning proudly, hoping that his mother would praise him.

Du Jinning could only say: "Our Xiao Qier is smart."

Only then did Qi Ziqi smile a little embarrassedly, and threw himself into Du Jinning's arms.

Du Jinning deliberately changed into clean clothes before getting off the carriage, now he was picked up, and as he walked in, he asked: "When the queen mother's grandmother praised Qi'er, was the fifth prince sad?"

Qi Ziqi tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded: "The fifth prince is stupid." Then he nodded to himself, "Qi'er is smart."

"Is Qi'er smarter or mother smarter?" Du Jinning asked again.

Qi Ziqi glanced at Du Jinning, thought for a while and glanced at her again, then lowered his head, twisted the chubby hand, and admitted with some reluctance: "Mother is smart."

This is because Qi Bokun often praised Du Jinning for being smart in front of Qi Ziqi, so Qi Ziqi had an inherent impression that his mother was the smartest person in the world.

"Qi'er is stupider than mother, do you feel sad?" Du Jinning asked again.

Qi Ziqi frowned, and touched his chest with his right hand - Mother said before, her heart is here - after a while he said uncertainly: "A little bit."

"So, if you say that others are stupid, others will feel very sad. The fifth prince's brother might cry secretly when he returns to the palace. From now on, even if Qi'er knows that he is smarter than others, don't say it, okay?" Du Jinning said patiently.

Qi Ziqi nodded his head: "OK."

"Does Qi'er know why mother is so smart?" Du Jinning asked again.

"Why?" Qi Ziqi asked with big black grape-like eyes.

"Because my mother has read a lot of books."

"Qi'er also needs to read a lot of books." Qi Ziqi said immediately.

"If you want to read, you have to know how to read. Can Qi'er do twenty characters a day?"

Qi Ziqi nodded, and replied loudly: "Yes."

Aunt Yan had no children in her life. Although she had served several young masters in the palace, none of them loved her as much as Qi Ziqi.

Hearing this, she disapproved and said: "Princess, the county king is still young."

Before Du Jinning could speak, Qi Ziqi turned his head away and said to Aunt Yan with great disapproval, "Mother Yan, I'm not young anymore, I'm three and a half years old. Daddy said, I'm an older child."

Everyone laughed.

Qi Ziqi looked at Aunt Yan, then at Du Jinning, and said very dissatisfied with his mouth: "I cried yesterday, but my father said, I'm an older child, I can't keep crying."

As he said that, he struggled to get off the ground: "Daddy also said that when I grow up, I have to walk by myself, and I can't be hugged all the time."

Du Jinning had no choice but to let him go.

Qi Ziqi's little hand was held in his mother's, and he "kicked and tapped" his feet while walking and jumping, raising his little face and smiling sweetly at her.

Seeing his cute appearance, Du Jinning's heart almost melted, he just wished to rub him into his heart, and made up his mind that when Qi Ziqi was young, he should spend more time with him at home and less travel far away.

There are quite a few officials in the Ministry of Industry who understand water conservancy, and she can be of great use if she trains more, and she doesn't need to go out and run around by herself.

　It's 2019, I wish you all a safe and healthy new year, and all the best!

　　I overestimated myself, I feel that I can't write about children, so let's just read it.
