Zhu Xiang wanted to put the dagger away, but Ying Xiaozheng held on to it tightly.
Ying Xiaozheng took off the red cloth bag from his neck and raised his hands high: "Uncle, this is for you!"
I’m giving you the New Year’s money, but please don’t take away Zheng’er’s dagger!
The First Emperor looked at his uncle eagerly, looking extremely pitiful.
Zhu Xiang said earnestly, "Zheng'er, this sharpened dagger is too dangerous. Your uncle will keep it for you first and return it to you when you grow up, okay?"
Ying Xiaozheng stuffed the red cloth bag into Zhu Xiang's hands, then held the dagger tightly: "Not good!"
Zhu Xiang kept persuading him, but Ying Xiaozheng turned his back to his uncle. He refused to listen.
Zhu Xiang was extremely helpless.
Is the little Qin Shi Huang cub showing the autocratic behavior of the Qin Shi Huang? Is the good nephew of his uncle going to become a naughty nephew
"Zheng'er, don't play with dangerous things." Xue walked over slowly and said with a serious face, "Auntie has told you before, and you agreed. You can't play with candles or knives."
Ying Xiaozheng ran away: "No!"
Xue reached out and grabbed the back of Ying Xiaozheng's collar.
Ying Xiaozheng began to scream: "Let me go!"
Xue hugged Ying Xiaozheng around the waist, took the dagger out of Ying Xiaozheng's arms, and handed it to Zhu Xiang.
Ying Xiaozheng kicked his legs and howled at the top of his lungs.
Xue carried Ying Xiaozheng into the house.
Zhu Xiang quickly stopped him: "Xue, Zheng'er is still young..."
Xue turned around and said, "My dear, I know you dote on Zheng'er, but there are some things that cannot be compromised. If you can't bear it, just stay here, I will be back soon."
Zhu Xiang knew he couldn't stop it. He could only sigh, "Be gentle."
Xue nodded and left carrying Ying Xiaozheng, who was crying and kicking.
Zhu Xiang kept sighing, but the corners of his mouth turned up suspiciously.
Li Mu and Cai Ze watched the show for a while and asked curiously, "What is Xue Ji going to do?"
Zhu Xiang put away the dagger and the lucky money that Ying Xiaozheng handed over, and said, "He's definitely going to spank Zheng'er's little butt."
Li Mu was a little embarrassed: "Is it because of the dagger I gave to Zheng'er?"
Zhu Xiang said, "No. Xue and Zheng'er have told him many times not to play with dangerous things, but Zheng'er just loves beautiful swords and knives, and he never changes his ways. But before, he would listen to advice and hand over dangerous swords. This time, it's probably because the dagger you gave him, Li Mu, was too beautiful, so he refused to listen. In our family, the father is kind and the mother is strict, hehe."
Cai Ze was helpless: "What are you laughing at? If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. You can't always spoil Zheng'er and not teach him strictly."
Zhu Xiang touched his nose and said, "Well, I know this, but I just can't do it."
He also knew that sometimes he should pat Zheng'er's butt to correct some of his bad habits. But when he thought that this was the child of the First Emperor, Zhu Xiang couldn't pat him anymore, so he could only let Xue be the strict mother.
However, although he couldn't bring himself to do it, he was still happy to watch the Qin Shi Huang's son get spanked.
So Zhu Xiang happily went to spy on Ying Xiaozheng being beaten. Li Mu and Cai Ze looked at each other and continued to clean up the bonfire in the house, not doing such boring things.
Xun Kuang was too old and went to bed early. Otherwise, he would have taken out the ruler and hit Zhu Xiang on the head twice.
If you don't teach your children, you deserve to be beaten! If you laugh at the children you teach, you deserve to be beaten!
Xue's movements were very quick. When Zhu Xiang went to watch the baby Shi Huang being spanked, Xue had already pulled down the baby's pants, pressed them on his legs and started spanking him.
Xue learned Zhu Xiang's theory of educating children. Children also have self-esteem, so it is best not to teach children in front of others, but to educate them behind closed doors.
So she carried Ying Xiaozheng to the inner room, took off his pants and spanked his butt.
Ying Xiaozheng had been bullied many times since he was born, but this was the first time he was stripped of his pants and spanked on the butt by an elder.
Not to mention that it was his first time, even his future shadow in the dream room had never experienced such a thing.
When he was pressed on his aunt's knees, he was still dancing and howling at the top of his lungs.
When his butt felt cold, he had not yet realized the seriousness of his gaffe.
When he felt a burning pain on his butt accompanied by a crisp sound, Ying Xiaozheng howled for a moment and finally discovered the problem.
I, I, I... I was spanked by my aunt
Uh… Ahhh?! My aunt took off my pants and spanked me?! You actually, actually…
Ying Xiaozheng, who was lying on the ground, turned around in horror and saw his expressionless aunt raising her rough hands high.
"uncle!!!!!!"
Ying Xiaozheng used his hands and feet to try to escape from Xue's knee.
But he was only two years old, and Xue could hold him down with one hand. His butt hurt again, and the tears that Ying Xiaozheng had been crying for a long time burst out immediately.
Ying Xiaozheng's uncle, who came for help, quietly peeked out from the door.
Zhu Xiang covered his eyes with his hands, with his fingers spread wide apart.
Oh, look, there is a little pup that was spanked over my knees because he was disobedient. Tsk tsk tsk, tears and snot are flowing out, it's so miserable, it's horrible to look at.
Take another look!
Zhu Xiang was so happy. This must be written in the diary!
Ying Xiaozheng saw Zhu Xiang.
His uncle seemed to be covering his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to see him getting beaten, but in fact the corners of his mouth were almost splitting with laughter.
The clever Ying Xiaozheng understood that his hateful uncle had no intention of saving him at all and was happy to see him get beaten!
Ying Xiaozheng's clever little head started working rapidly, and he finally figured out what to do at this moment.
“Aunt! Zheng’er was wrong! Zheng’er will never dare to do that again! Zheng’er will never play with dangerous swords again!” Ying Xiaozheng shouted at the top of his voice, “Zheng’er was wrong!!”
Xue lowered her hand that had been raised high again.
Zhu Xiang's eyes showed a trace of regret. He didn't expect Zheng'er to be so smart and immediately realized the correct way to deal with it. Alas.
Xue pulled up Ying Xiaozheng's pants and took out a handkerchief to wipe his nose and tears: "Auntie will slap your butt with her bare hands a few times, and you will cry in pain. If you are injured by a sword, how painful will it be? Your lucky money and toys will be carefully kept by your uncle and aunt. They will be returned to you when you grow up."
Zhu Xiang had seen enough of the fun, and walked over and said, "As long as you learn to read and count, you can manage the New Year's money yourself; when you learn to use a sword, the dagger will be returned to you. Now you don't know anything, so the things can only be kept by the elders for you, do you understand?"
Ying Xiaozheng hung his head and said, "So I gave my New Year's money to my uncle in exchange for a dagger, but it was useless!"
Zhu Xiang laughed: "Yes, it's useless. I will also take your New Year's money."
Ying Xiaozheng wanted to cry again.
Zhu Xiang laughed out loud. No wonder the elders like to take away the children's lucky money and dangerous toys in front of them. It's really pleasant to see the children's expressions change from happy to sad.
Is this the evil taste of being an elder
But Zhu Xiang was not a completely evil elder. He cut paper into a palm-sized notebook and asked Xue to bind it with needle and thread, and wrote down all the lucky money and gifts that Ying Xiaozheng received today.
Zhu Xiang handed the small book to Ying Xiaozheng: "This is Zheng'er's private money account book. Now your uncle will help you save money and things. When Zheng'er grows up, you will have a lot of money and gifts. In the future, everything Zheng'er gets will be recorded in it."
Ying Xiaozheng hugged the account book tightly: "Really?"
Zhu Xiang smiled and said, "Of course. Uncle will prepare a small warehouse specifically for Zheng'er, which will only store Zheng'er's property."
Ying Xiaozheng pouted and said, "I want a beautiful wooden box to hold the dagger that the teacher gave me."
Zhu Xiang nodded: "Okay, we will go visit Xianghe tomorrow and ask Xianghe to make a small wooden box for you to put the dagger in."
Ying Xiaozheng's mouth stopped pouting.
Children's emotions come and go quickly. Ying Xiaozheng soon became obsessed with the account book and forgot about the beating he had just received.
Zhu Xiang reached out and poked Ying Xiaozheng's chubby butt: "Does it hurt?"
Ying Xiaozheng jumped up at once: "Uncle!"
Zhu Xiang: “Hahahahahaha.” He brings up all sorts of topics, so happy!
Ying Xiaozheng was so angry that he kept hitting Zhu Xiang with his head, but he didn't dare to do anything to his aunt who had just beaten him.
Xue watched the uncle and nephew quarreling again and couldn't help laughing out loud.
She was a little worried that if she beat Zheng'er, he would hate her. But the women she consulted said that children must be educated. If she indulged him now, she would regret it later.
Fortunately, Zheng'er is a good child and her husband supports her.
"Okay, General Li and Mr. Cai are still waiting for us outside." Xue said after the uncle and nephew had had enough fun.
She hesitated for a moment, still a little worried, "Zheng'er, does it hurt?"
Ying Xiaozheng wanted to say that it didn't hurt anymore, but seeing his aunt's concerned expression, he changed his words: "It hurts~."
Xue picked up Ying Xiaozheng, touched Ying Xiaozheng's face, and said guiltily: "Aunt will be gentler next time."
Ying Xiaozheng pouted: "Can there not be a next time?"
Xue tried to keep a straight face and said, "Zheng'er, just be obedient in the future, and there won't be a next time."
Zhu Xiang immediately interrupted, "That must be difficult. Xue, next time I'll find you a thin bamboo stick so that it will be painful but won't hurt. Otherwise, you have to use your hands, which would hurt your hands."
Ying Xiaozheng screamed: "Uncle!"
Zhu Xiang: “Hahahahahaha.”
Xue couldn't keep a straight face anymore, she chuckled and said, "My dear, don't tease Zheng'er."
Zhu Xiang laughed: "I'm not kidding him, I'm serious!"
Ying Xiaozheng's cheeks puffed up with anger, as if he was going to punch his uncle twice.
Li Mu and Cai Ze were a little worried that Ying Xiaozheng might be punished too severely, but after a while, they heard Zhu Xiang's wild laughter and Ying Xiaozheng's loud and vigorous voice.
The two looked at each other and felt relieved.
They themselves would not spoil their children too much, but they could not help but spoil Ying Xiaozheng a little more. In addition, it was the New Year, so it was not good to teach the children a lesson too harshly.
"Uncle, I hate you!" Although he was beaten by his aunt, Ying Xiaozheng decided to hate his uncle.
Zhu Xiang said seriously, "Okay, Zheng'er, you must try your best to hate your uncle until tomorrow morning!"
Ying Xiaozheng said stubbornly: "Not tomorrow! I will hate my uncle the day after tomorrow too!"
Zhu Xiang said regretfully, "Really? The day after tomorrow is Zheng'er's birthday, and uncle wanted to make Zheng'er something delicious he had never seen before. It seems that Zheng'er won't be able to eat it. Uncle, who is hated by Zheng'er, is in no mood to cook a big meal."
Ying Xiaozheng: “…”
Xue was laughing so hard that she could hardly hold her nephew in her arms.
Li Mu and Cai Ze exchanged helpless looks.
Li Mu: This uncle is even more childish than his nephew.
Cai Ze: Poor Zhenger.
