FORGOTTEN LEGEND OF THE BLOODIED FLOWER
Chapter 2517 Song Chuan’s ChildrenChapter 2517 Song Chuan’s Children
Nan Hua blinked her eyes. She looked at Song Yi Nan who was only four years old and sincerely hoped that she would not make him raise his beauty standard too high. There wouldn’t be many people who could compete with her for beauty and if he set the requirement too high, he might not be able to get married for his entire life. After all, Nan Hua knew very well from the few people around her that there were not many people who had the same beauty as herself.
Though, she has been seeing her own face in the mirror too many times in her entire life to be affected.
“Song Yi Nan,” Song Yi Liang warned.
Song Yi Nan pouted, but he still peeked back from time to time. He felt that this was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his entire life. She was also very kind to him and Song Yi Nan could tell that Nan Hua didn’t mean any harm.
Sometimes, children’s instinct is very accurate.
So Song Yi Nan felt comfortable around Nan Hua.
They reached the study room and Song Yi Liang showed the few books that he had studied before. He didn’t expect Nan Hua to know them, though, and only showed it out of politeness. At the same time, he also asked the servants to prepare some bamboo scrolls for Song Yi Nan. Nan Hua looked at the complete study room and nodded silently in her heart.
She could tell that Song Chuan valued knowledge very much and didn’t want his children to be far behind. Everything in this room seemed to tell her how much these two brats have spent studying in their life. Without their father’s approval and teaching, it was impossible for them to have this study room and possibly spend so much time studying.
‘It feels like the past.’
When Nan Hua was young, she spent some time studying under Old Master Nan along with her twin and cousins. The four of them would spend their time studying in the study room and then spar in the courtyard.
It was very lively and fun. “I haven’t memorized everything,” Song Yi Liang said with shame. His father asked him to memorize the classics, but so far, Song Yi Liang couldn’t do it. There were still many books that he failed to memorize. “Take your time,” Nan Hua said slowly as she looked at the stack of books. There were variety of books that Song Chuan prepared for Song Yi Liang including those related to war, etiquette, and even tactics.
It could be seen that Song Chuan wanted Song Yi Liang to be an all round scholar.
In this way, he would be able to cope up no matter what kind of situation they encountered in the future. It was pretty good. “Yes,” Song Yi Liang replied and then asked, “Is it really possible to memorize all of these?”
Is it possible?
Nan Hua looked at Song Yi Liang for a moment and then nodded. “It’s possible.”
She herself had memorized countless books in her entire life. Even though part of it was because of her own talent, the rest was also because she needed them and forced herself to memorize everything. “Besides, memorizing is only the first step.”
The first step?
Song Yi Nan was sitting on the cushion and looked at Nan Hua curiously. “Sister… I mean, Young Madam Long, is there anything we have to do after memorization?”
Because he had seen his brother’s study and knew that their father only asked Song Yi Liang to memorized. His older brother was much older than him, but it seemed that Song Chuan didn’t ask his brother anything else.
This made the young Song Yi Nan confused.
And Song Yi Liang also couldn’t understand. Nan Hua sat down on the other cushion in front of Song Yi Nan and Song Yi Liang. “After memorization, you have to learn to applicate the knowledge you have known in practice. There are many things that you can do. For examples, etiquette books taught you how to sit and you have to use it in the real life…”
She gave a few more examples and the two children were listening earnestly.
Song Yi Liang had the look of realization. It was not that he hadn’t learned it, but his father didn’t specified it as something that he had to do. He only told him that some books were for direct learning such as etiquette and he had to follow it in his life.
“But what about the tactics book?” Song Yi Liang frowned. “Officials are not going to war, right?”
His father said that Fei Yang Kingdom had conquered other kingdoms and now they were going to usher in a period of peace.
So why should he learn tactics and war books?
His father said that it was still important for him to understand so that he could implement it when the situation arise. The problem is, Song Yi Liang still didn’t understand much. Nan Hua looked at Song Yi Liang.
If she has to say, Song Chuan is a capable teacher and official. He knew the importance of knowledge very well and without him teaching his son so much, there was no way that Song Chuan would be like this. “But you could make inference from the books for your daily life. Tactics are not only used in the war but can also be used when facing unexpected situation.” Nan Hua looked at Song Yi Liang and then asked, “For example, what will you do if you meet with someone who wanted to frame you for stealing?”
Song Yi Liang frowned. “But I don’t steal.”
“This is an example. He had planted a jade bracelet on your place through bribery of your servant. What will you do to clean your name?” “…Uhm, I have to find the servant?”
“Yes, but how do you find him?”
“I’ll interrogate… and then I …,,…”
