In the cloud temple outside the capital, the old Taoist stared at the hexagrams intently. The young Taoist next to him blinked and felt sleepy for a while. Tears suddenly appeared in his eyes. He suppressed a big yawn...
The old Taoist sighed, "We have to leave."
The little Taoist immediately objected: "I don't want to leave! It's so nice here, there's food, drink and a place to live, and it's getting cold..."
The old Taoist said: "The hexagram says we have to go northwest, and the person who can relieve your uncle's misfortune is destined to be in that direction..."
The little Taoist pouted: "Today there are still people calling me a free-for-nothing, trying to give me face..."
The old Taoist blew his beard and said: "Aren't you eating for nothing? We all eat here for nothing, otherwise we wouldn't owe this favor..."
The little Taoist came over and whispered, "So what if we don't pay it back?"
The old Taoist stared and said: "You want to take advantage?! Then we will be in bad luck! If we deliberately owe favors, it will result in serious illness or death. There will be no good end..."
The little Taoist master didn't know if the old Taoist was trying to scare him, so he immediately said, "Okay, okay! I'll follow Master wherever he goes."
The next day, the old Taoist took the young Taoist to bid farewell to Taoist Master Mao, saying that he was going to travel the Tao. Taoist Mao was very annoyed that this senior brother never said good things, and when he heard that he was leaving, he naturally wouldn't try to keep him. The old Taoist had the cheek to ask him for food and food on the road. Taoist Mao was satisfied with all of them in the attitude of sending the plague god, and sent the old Taoist and the young Taoist out of the Guanmen.
The Taoist priests under Mao Daochang did not have the demeanor of a Taoist priest. Several people took brooms and chased the old Taoist priest and the young Taoist priest all the way until they were swept out of the house.
The morale of the little Taoist was low, and he said to the old Taoist: "Master, let's not go to that person, shall we?"
The old Taoist was angry: "You don't even see human feelings clearly, how can you channel spirits? No matter how good his Taoist priests are, they can't beat the benefits we have gained here! Look, what are you carrying on your shoulders? As long as you eat and use it , you have to do something to repay the favor, don't expect to offset the other party's faults, let alone he didn't scold you himself."
The little Taoist felt that he was wrong, but he still said stubbornly: "I said earlier that I don't have a psychic, why do I have a psychic? After reading this, I have to look over there, how tired I am..."
The old Taoist slapped the little Taoist hard: "You lazy guy! If you don't have psychics, don't you have to work harder? Otherwise, the boss will be sad in the future!"
The little Taoist said: "I don't think so, I just follow the master..."
The old Taoist didn't know whether to be happy or worried after hearing this, so he could only continue beating the little Taoist...
Although they didn't have a carriage, the old Taoist followed the direction, regardless of whether there was a road, and walked across the fields. It was not much slower than Shen Wen's group of people who always had to walk on the road, not to mention the few people who learned to ride horses. For a few days, the team moved extremely slowly.
Before sunset on the first day, the riders were in great pain, and even the Fourth Prince, who had ridden a horse before, couldn't straighten up.
Zhang Yunzheng told the people in front to prepare to rest and set up camp, then slowed down, waiting for Duan Zeng, who looked pained, to ride beside him as if holding a mule's neck, and asked, "Do you need any help?"
Duan Zeng said anxiously: "Get out of the way! Don't scare my animals! He has a bad temper!"
Zhang Yunzheng cut his voice: "Before the animals are afraid, you should be afraid first." After speaking, he poked the mule's butt with the horsewhip, and the mule swung its hoof, almost knocking Duan Zeng off his feet. Duan Zeng yelled: "You've made me anxious, I'll give you itching medicine! Let you be covered all the way!"
Su Chuanya, who was riding on the donkey behind, raised his head and shouted: "Senior Brother! Get off for him! Get off quickly!"
Zhang Yunzheng reined in the animal and came to Su Chuanya's side, and said, "What are you going to do? I'll let you down first!"
Su Chuanya was frightened and shouted: "Little brother, he bullied me..."
Seeing the painful expression on Su Chuanya's face, Zhang Yunzheng got off the mule he was riding, went to Su Chuanya's donkey, and stretched out his hand, "Hurry up! I'm busy..."
Su Chuanya's leg was not her own for a long time, and she wished to get off quickly. Seeing Zhang Yunzheng helping her, she kicked the stirrup and said, "Who wants your help? I will get off by myself..."
Seeing that his feet were off the pedals, Zhang Yunzheng pinched Su Chuanya's armpits and carried him down. His thighs brushed against the saddle. Su Chuanya cried out in pain, "Molested! He molested me!"
Everyone laughed, Zhang Yunzheng slapped Su Chuanya on the buttocks: "What nonsense?"
Su Chuanya yelled, and limped to the back to find Su Wanniang.
Everyone else laid down their animals and set up camp.
Soon, the tattered curtains were set up, and those who rode the animals fell to the ground. Su Chuanya was the most tired, and fell asleep after taking a few mouthfuls of dry food.
Although the Fourth Prince knew how to ride a horse before, how many years ago was that? At the end of the day, my thighs were damaged and my back was sore. Su Wanniang knew that the fourth prince would never have suffered such hardships in the past, and now the men around him looked like they were big-bodied and thugs, and they definitely couldn't take care of others, so she could only blushed and went to help the fourth prince.
The fourth prince was also in distress, but he was really unable to do things by himself. After he got off the animal, he didn't even dare to sit up, so he could only lie on the ground. Su Wanniang helped him wash, and then brought the dry food and water for dinner.
Both of them are very polite, you come and go, thank you non-stop. Yan Shi said to Shen Wen who was taking care of herself: "Look at how powerful your sister Wanniang is, and now she has raised her eyebrows. You don't want to create a chance for yourself?"
Shen Wen raised his hand and gently tapped the blood-congested acupuncture point on Yan Shi's waist. Yan Shi yelled, and everyone turned their heads to look over. Yan Shi said tearfully, "She molested me too!" Yan Shi dressed up as a man, Shen Wen is also dressed as a servant, this situation is very wrong, everyone laughed again.
Shi Helin said to Duan Zeng: "I'll give you a prescription..."
Duan Zeng frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "Where can I get medicine in this barren village?! I'll tell you a few acupuncture points, and you can press them for me."
Shi Helin was overjoyed: "That's great, let's talk!"
After a while, everyone heard Duan Zeng wailing: "Don't...don't push so hard!"
Shi Helin's confused voice: "I didn't use much force! I should use force, right? The book says that if it hurts, it won't work, and if it doesn't work, it will hurt..."
Duan Zengzeng shouted: "Oh!...don't tell me these things, I know all about it!..."
Shi Helin's happy voice: "Here? I feel different! It's very hard here..."
Duan Zeng's voice was about to cry: "Don't... I won't press it anymore!"
Shi Helin said: "How can I do that?! Hate illness and take medicine, oh, that, only massage when you hate pain..."
Zhang Yunzheng gloated over and said, "I can help."
Duan Zeng shouted: "Go away! You provoke me again, you really drugged you!"
Zhang Yunzheng smirked: "Don't be ignorant of good people, I will give you an acupuncture point, and you will feel much more comfortable."
As a doctor, Duan Zeng immediately asked curiously: "What acupuncture point do you use?"
Zhang Yunzheng leaned over a little: "It's here!"
Duan Zengzeng shouted, "Untie it, untie it! I can't feel my legs!"
Zhang Yunzheng stared and asked, "Isn't it okay if you don't feel it?"
Duan Zeng said: "Of course it's not good! Qi and blood can't flow, it can be useless!"
Zhang Yunzheng clicked again, and Duan Zeng yelled again: "It hurts me to death! Just wait! I can't spare you!"
Zhang Yunzheng said proudly: "You are so delicate, harder to serve than that little mute!" He left in satisfaction.
Duan Zeng said to Shi Helin: "Master, I was wrong..."
Shi Helin asked excitedly: "Is it that you shouldn't treat me like that, Master? Is it that you shouldn't run away from home?..."
Duan Zeng gasped and said: "... I should learn from the master how to prepare those harmful medicines..."
Shi Helin said angrily: "What is a medicine that hurts people?! How ugly?!" As he spoke, he pressed down on an acupuncture point fiercely, and Duan Zeng cried out.
After the howling ghosts and wolves in the camp had calmed down, Shen Wen slipped out of the small tent, found Zhang Yunzheng who was patrolling outside the camp, and said in a coquettish tone, "I also want to learn how to ride an animal."
Zhang Yunzheng was happy, but still looked at Shen Wen proudly: "Why don't you study with others during the day? It's dark at night."
Shen Wen whispered: "Looking at them in so much pain, I don't want to lose face in front of people."
Zhang Yunzheng taught Shen Wen a lesson: "How can you be like them if you know how to do light work? Use light work to stabilize yourself, and when you learn how to balance, then sit slowly and firmly, and don't use your legs to try to find balance. Don't wear out your legs. it won't hurt..."
Shen Wen covered his face: "Oh! What are you talking about?..."
Zhang Yunzheng also knew that what he said was too clear, he hurried away a few steps, went to lead the shortest donkey back, and then raised his chin, as if he didn't bother to say anything.
Shen Wen smiled and said, "Thank you." Zhang Yunzheng pouted coldly, as if he had never run for Shen Wen at all.
Shen Wen climbed onto the saddle following the example of others. She closed her eyes and calmed down her breathing. The animals seemed to be affected as well. They nodded and walked forward.
Zhang Yunzheng led the donkey and walked slowly. He didn't hear Shen Wen's movement for a long time. When he turned around, he saw Shen Wen closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. Zhang Yunzheng thought that Shen Wen was too scared to open his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I I'm holding the reins with you!"
Shen Wen hummed, Zhang Yunzheng felt that Shen Wen trusted him, so he didn't say anything, and continued to lead the donkey.
The two walked around silently for a few times, Shen Wen opened his eyes and said, "Let me pull the reins."
Zhang Yunzheng felt that he was unusually calm and gentle, so he handed the reins to Shen Wen, and went to lead a horse to ride, and followed Shen Wen for a walk.
According to what Zhang Yunzheng said, Shen Wen quickly mastered the balance, and the donkey was not walking fast, she felt that she could control it completely.
The surroundings were quiet, and the hoofbeats of the two people mingled together. Shen Wen suddenly felt very happy, a kind of peace of mind. Although he was riding carefully, Zhang Yunzheng just followed him silently. The warmth in it was as pervasive as the night up.
After riding for a while, Shen Wen returned outside the camp, got off the saddle awkwardly, handed the reins to Zhang Yunzheng who was walking behind, and whispered, "Thank you."
Zhang Yunzheng took the reins, paused for a moment, and said, "You need to practice more! Otherwise, you'll be like a stupid little pig."
Shen Wen laughed all of a sudden, and she said in a straight voice, "I'm not a pig."
Zhang Yunzheng whispered, "How is it possible? It's obviously a piggy!"
Shen Wen pouted: "Then I won't ride!"
Zhang Yunzheng threatened: "If you don't ride, you will become a big stupid pig! It's bigger than a carriage, we can't go..."
Shen Wen chuckled, Zhang Yunzheng suddenly asked: "When did you meet Duan Zeng and Su Chuanya?"
Shen Wen smiled and said, "Of course it's earlier than you!"
Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "How is it possible?! I knew you when the crown prince was still the eldest prince!"
Shen Wen whispered: "At that time, Sister Wanniang was already with me, so naturally I knew Xiaoya. During the winter hunting, the sleeping cake was made by Duan Langzhong."
Zhang Yunzheng heard Zhang Yunming talk about what happened during the winter hunting, and he regretted that he didn't go there. Now knowing that Shen Wen knew Duan Zeng so early, he felt very uncomfortable, and said in a bad tone: "Hunting friends... No, pigs' friends are pigs..."
Shen Wen heard Zhang Yunzheng's sourness, smiled at Zhang Yunzheng under the moonlight, and said in a tired voice: "But my best friend is you!"
Looking at Shen Wen's smile, Zhang Yunzheng was speechless for a moment, and then said: "Well, it's not bad to raise a few pigs..."
Shen Wen couldn't stop laughing, and the two returned to the camp.
This was the case in the following days. Shen Wen rode a donkey at night and took a nap in the car during the day. Zhang Yunzheng always had to say bad things, but he stayed with her every night.
When approaching Yan's hometown, the few people who learned how to ride livestock can ride. Duan Zeng and Yan can ride steadily for a day. Su Chuanya is the youngest, but learns the fastest and rides the best. The fourth prince also regained the skills of the past, and was even able to ride fast for a while, often making Duan Zeng shout "Don't show off, don't fall off".
Shen Wen has completely passed the essentials, but she needs to practice more, but she can't save face and tell everyone that she still hides in the car and stays with Su Wanniang.
Su Chuanya was the happiest among this group of people. He was only eleven or twelve years old, just a teenager. Because of the early death of my parents, I was sensible prematurely, and I never had such a happy and relaxed time. Every morning when he woke up, he couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear. Although riding a donkey was painful at first, but after he got better, his life was full of joy. If there was any shadow in this sunny day, it would be that every time he went to Shen Wen to show off his riding skills, that Zhang Yunzheng would always stand beside him with a stern face, sneering at him condescendingly, and looking down on him very much! But it doesn't matter, this Zhang Yunzheng doesn't have much literary talent at first glance, and he is not elegant at all. When he grows up and becomes a civil servant, he will naturally be able to kill him instantly!
Among the other happy people, the fourth prince and Duan Zeng should be tied for second place, evenly matched. Duan Zeng has been talking about going out for a walk for so many years, but when he really came out, he felt that the sky was high and the earth was wide, just as he imagined. When he was walking on the road, if he saw any dry medicinal herbs on the side of the road, he would get down from the animals and dig them out. Before long, he put a large load of dry grass-like things on the roof of the car, making Zhang Yunzheng bicker with him every time. Threatened to throw these things to him.
The fourth prince's mode of expressing happiness is very calm, but he always has a smile on his face and speaks softly. He is simply extremely civilized and well-mannered. Su Wanniang felt that among the group, the one who needed protection the most was not her mischievous younger brother, but the Fourth Prince. Su Wanniang had to help the fourth prince eat and change clothes every day. Among the women here, only Su Wanniang is a maid, so it seems natural to take care of the fourth prince. In the shyness and politeness of the fourth prince, there is always a kind of unyielding energy, which makes Shen Wen's teeth itch with jealousy in private.
The farther away from the capital, the more expensive the food. The capital is where the logistics are concentrated, and other places do not have such rich support. Fortunately, the dry food prepared by Zhang Yunzheng was delicious, and everyone didn't feel any difficulty in eating.
They are too conspicuous, so they don't usually enter the town, they usually camp outside the city, and sometimes send people to buy things in the city. One day, they were passing by a city, and saw that the main road was crowded with people, and their convoy could not get through.
Usually, there are many refugees on the road, but they have never met people like this. The group had no choice but to wait aside, while Yulan went to inquire. Not long after, Yulan ran back and said, "This is the common people's farewell to Prefect Lu."
Zhang Yunzheng, Duan Zengshi, Helin and the Fourth Prince stood and watched, Zhang Yunzheng asked, "It seems that he is a good official?"
Yulan nodded and said, "I heard that he is. Especially four years ago, there was a big harvest here, and the price of grain was extremely low. The prefect personally visited wealthy families in various cities and asked them to buy grain. Later, he even told the county magistrate below It is said that the third prince of the capital suggested to store grain to prepare for the shortage, and let them persuade the people to prepare food. The weather has started to dry, and the people in this area have less disasters, so they all think of him."
Shi Helin nodded and said, "No wonder we came this way, it's not that difficult."
Duan Zeng asked: "Then he is going to be promoted?"
The fourth prince nodded and said: "It should be..."
Yulan hurriedly said: "No, he was streamlined..."
The fourth prince frowned: "How is it possible? How can one party's prefect be simplified?"
Yulan whispered: "That's what I said, the official salary is not good, let's streamline it for one year..."
Zhang Yunzheng smiled and said, "One year?! Then there will be a new official next year."
Duan Zeng also understood, and scolded: "This kind of deceitful thing!"
Shi Helin sighed: "You don't understand, it has been like this since ancient times."
They didn't say much. After waiting for a long time, the people on the road dispersed, and they went on the road again.
After walking for a few more days, they arrived outside the city of Yan's Academy run by Yan's grandfather, Yan Jing.
Those who were about to enter the city took off their refugee clothes and put on ordinary clothes, but Shen Wen and Yan Shi still disguised themselves as men. Zhang Yunzheng personally drove the carriage, and took Shen Wen, Su Wanniang, Su Chuanya, and Yan Shi to meet Yan Shi's cousin. The fourth prince rode a mule and followed them into the city to see if he could see Ji Wenzhao and talk to him. Play a game of chess. Shi Helin, Duan Zeng and Zhang Yunzheng waited outside the city with the remaining carriages.
After entering the city gate, Shi Yan commanded Zhang Yunzheng to walk through the street, and soon came to the gate of a house with a plaque on the door "Ji Zhai", black characters on the wooden background, and strong writing.
Yan introduced: "This is the property that Brother Ji's parents bought for him when they came to send him to my grandfather's family. This sign was written by him himself. The house is not big, but my cousin doesn't care. Ji Senior brother can’t lift his shoulders or lift his hands. Now he’s still studying classics in my grandfather’s academy, plus teaching. He’s a guy who eats soft food. So my cousin can live here instead of going to her in-law’s house to serve her... Don’t tell me I told them so!"
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry when they heard her describe the famous Ji Guoshou in this way.
When everyone got off the horse and got off the car, Mrs. Yan went up and called to open the door. When the people inside saw her and said a few words, they opened their mouths in shock. A servant rushed inside, Yan didn't say much, and took Shen Wen and others along the way, Zhang Yunzheng didn't feel anything wrong, but the fourth prince followed behind with a guilty conscience—this is his back house, okay? It's really unruly to dress like a refugee.
Entering a house, two women came out to greet them, saluted and said, "It's Yan Wu... Mrs. Shen Er is here, please come in quickly, the lady will come in a while." Let them into a living room and invite them After sitting down, he also asked people to serve tea.
Yan Shi whispered to Shen Wen unhappily: "I used to go to her house all the way to find my cousin. Now that she is married, it is so inconvenient. Brother Ji is really poor..."
Shen Wenxin said that someone came to the Hou's mansion to look for you, isn't it more particular than this? But he didn't say anything.
After they waited for a short time, they saw two servant girls coming in with Ji Yanshi, who was already pregnant. The last time Shen Wen saw her, she had been wearing a veiled hat, so hurry up and take a good look at her face this time. I saw that Ji Yanshi was a typical ancient beauty, with moon-shaped eyebrows, docile longan eyes, fat hanging nose, and small cherry mouth. When seeing Yan Shi, her eyes immediately showed anxiety, and she asked eagerly: "Why is my sister here like this? Has something happened to your husband's house?"
Yan answered the question in surprise and said: "Sister is happy? Why don't I know?"
Ji Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that nothing happened to you. I wrote you a letter, but you haven't replied yet."
Yan suddenly realized: "Oh, the letter must have arrived after I left."
Only then did Ji Yan greet several other people one by one, including the fourth prince and Su Wanniang, whom she had met in Guanyi Pavilion. She knew that Su Wanniang was from the Marquis of Zhenbei, and it was not unusual to come with the Yan family, but what happened to the other people
Yan Shi pulled Su Chuanya with a sullen face, and said to Ji Yan Shi: "This is a little friend of mine. We are going on a long trip and want to entrust him to you."
Ji Yan asked in surprise: "Why are you going so far away?"
Yan Shi was a little embarrassed, and said to Ji Yan Shi in a low voice: "You can't tell others, I should stay in the temple now, I ran out secretly by myself. Give him to you, so we can go around and have fun. .”
Ji Yan's eyes were round: "You ran out of the temple again?! How did you enter the temple? It's not because your husband's family found out that you have some...that..."
Yan waved her hand: "They didn't realize that I was crazy. I accompanied my sister-in-law into the temple. When she ran out, I naturally followed. This time it's not my business." She pointed out Take Shen Wen.
Shen Wen had no choice but to smile dryly at Ji Yanshi.
Ji Yan looked at Shen Wen and said with emotion: "It's really not a family, don't go into a family."
Yan hurriedly said: "She's not as good as me... oh, she's quite... forget it! Don't say anything else, cousin, please help me and let the senior brother take this child to the school of grandfather .”
Ji Yan asked: "Why don't you say it?"
Yan said in a low voice: "It's useless for me to say it! When did my grandfather hear me? When did he see that I didn't blow my beard and stare?"
Ji Yan smiled: "Actually, he really likes you."
Yan's eyes rolled up: "Don't say good things for him!"
Ji Yan said hurriedly: "Really, it's just that you said you were going to set the library on fire last time, which made him very angry."
Yan said: "That's a threat! Do you know the threat? It's just talking, and I didn't do it! Who told him to force me to marry that old man with a beard that grows to my chest!"
Ji Yan said: "Where is the old man? He is only twenty-three years old."
Yan said contemptuously: "His head is full of forehead lines! It's like a prawn on his back! It's far worse than my husband!"
Ji Yan covered her mouth with a smile, seeing the people in the room dumbfounded, she hurriedly said: "You really haven't changed, it seems that you are doing well. Well, I will..." Before she finished speaking, someone at the door said : "Don't promise anything! You just know to listen to her!"
Ji Wenzhao came in with a troubled face, and said to Ji Yanshi: "Every time she fools you, you say yes to everything! Didn't I tell you? Ask me about Yan Wu!"
Yan's head was half raised, and she looked at Ji Wenzhao with squinted eyes: "Oh, you married my cousin, and you treat her like this? Don't let her decide anything? Even if she wants to take in an orphan whose parents died Stop it?"
Ji Yan suppressed her smile, pointed at Su Chuanya and said, "She just wants me to help her take care of this child, so she can... go for a walk."
Ji Wenzhao went to the door and told people: "Look carefully, don't let anyone come over." Then he closed the door, turned to stare at Yan, and said through gritted teeth: "Miss Chen from the Northern Marquis Mansion made a grand oath to enter the temple to pray for rain. However, due to the drought, she did not leave the temple, and the second wife of the Shen family went with her. Now if people find out that the second wife of Shen has escaped from the temple, what will be the reputation of the Zhenbeihou Mansion?! What will be your reputation in the future? !"
Yan curled her lips: "What are you talking about? I am Uncle Yan now! Look at it carefully! You will be charged with defamation if you speculate!"
Ji Wenzhao turned blue with anger, pointed at Yan Shi and said, "You...you are playing with fire!"
Yan Shi said to Ji Yan Shi: "I will leave this child to you! His name is Su Chuanya, and we call him Little Mute. Take care of him, and I should come back to pick him up within a year."
Ji Wenzhao was taken aback, frowned and thought: "Su Chuanya..."
Yan Shi said to Ji Yan Shi: "Let's go, so as not to hurt this famous Senior Brother Ji!"
Ji Yan hurriedly stopped and said: "What are you talking about! He is just worried about you! You also know that our family is quite strict-mouthed and nothing will happen. How many things have you done before, have you not spread them? You have to have a meal anyway..."
Ji Wenzhao suddenly said: "I remembered, Su Chuanya! It's Su Changting's son!" Then he carefully looked around the room, greeted Zhang Yunzheng and the fourth prince in a hurry, and it seemed that he didn't recognize anyone who played chess with him Four princes. But when he saw Su Wanniang, his eyes widened in shock: "You...you..."
Su Wanniang saluted: "I've met Mr. Ji."
Ji Wenzhao was obviously thinking quickly, with sweat on his forehead, and said in a low voice, "You are here... this is not... not... Yan Wu is playful..." This is a premeditated action, not a random play.
He asked Su Wanniang, "Where's your master?"
Yan pointed to Shen Wen: "This is Miss Shen Er."
Ji Wenzhao looked at Shen Wen in disbelief: "You... you also left the temple... Could it be that you have escaped from life and death?!"
Zhang Yunzheng said in time: "It's her master!"
Ji Wenzhao immediately nodded and said: "That's possible." The fourth prince also agreed in his heart: It seems that Shen Wen is indeed the direct disciple of that master.
Shen Wen saluted with a smile, Ji Wenzhao returned the salute and asked, "Where are you going?"
Yan interrupted: "It's none of your business! Just help us pick up this child."
Ji Wenzhao looked at Su Chuanya, nodded, and said, "We have taken care of this child."
Yan Shi clicked his tongue: "Isn't this the same as what my sister said?"
Su Wanniang hurriedly pushed Su Chuanya: "Go and thank Mr. Ji."
Su Chuanya bowed reluctantly, with tears in her eyes.
Knowing that he was suffering, Ji Wenzhao comforted him: "The college here is very good, you will definitely like it. What books have you read?"
Su Chuanya said in grief and indignation: "I only read half of the surnames of the hundred families, and I haven't learned the rest! I don't even know what is written in the Three Character Classic!"
Ji Wenzhao was taken aback, and Su Wanniang was so angry that she punched Su Chuanya on the head. Su Chuanya said with a drooping corner of her mouth, "I don't want to study! I just want to climb a tree with mud, steal peaches and dates, and beat sparrows." Doumao has caused you a lot of trouble!"
Ji Wenzhao laughed, and Su Wanniang trembled with anger, and whispered, "Don't let me pull your ears!"
The Fourth Prince went over and pulled Su Chuanya aside, who was in tears, and said in a low voice, "I heard that students from this academy are very easy to go to high school. If you get a Jinshi, you can become an official."
Su Chuanya blinked, stopped crying, looked at the fourth prince, and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you lying to me?"
The fourth prince said seriously: "Of course not, you pointed me out at the beginning, and now I'm just repaying your favor."
Ji Wenzhao smiled and said: "What this young master said is true. The academy run by my old Mount Tai is famous. No matter how many people squeeze their heads, they can't get in. Every year of the big competition is the season when the academy becomes famous. "
Su Chuanya looked sleepy, as if she had lost her energy, but it seemed that she agreed.
Yan Shi took out a small bag from his bosom to Ji Yan Shi and said: "This is silver, you can take care of everything."
Ji Yan hurriedly shied away: "How can I do that?"
Su Wanniang saluted and said: "My younger brother's admission to the academy is already a great favor from your wife. To enter the academy, you should be offered a bundle of repairs, how can you let your couple contribute? Please don't say no."
Ji Yan had no choice but to accept it. Turning her head and smiling, she said to the pouting Su Chuanya: "I'll take you to the guest room, I have to give you a servant..."
Su Chuanya looked at Su Wanniang with tears in her eyes, Su Wanniang was about to cry, but she tried her best to hold back, knowing that Su Chuanya could not follow her. She handed a package to Su Chuanya, and whispered: "Go, be obedient, we will pick you up when we are done."
Su Chuanya complained to Su Wanniang in a low voice: "You're sorry for me!" Then she bowed in front of Shen Wen, looked into Shen Wen's eyes sincerely, and said, "Someday I will win the prize and become a civil servant..."
Zhang Yunzheng glared: "For a child, he hasn't finished learning all the surnames, and he still wants to be an official, so stop bragging!"
Su Chuanya was so angry that she punched Zhang Yunzheng: "You wait! I became the champion..."
Zhang Yunzheng waved his hand: "Go, go! Do it first and then talk! Who can't talk big?!"
Su Chuanya didn't cry anymore, her eyes were burning, she gave Zhang Yunzheng a hard look, and said to Ji Yan's righteously: "I'll go with you!"
Ji Yanshi covered her mouth, held back a smile and led Su Chuanya out.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Yan said to Ji Wenzhao unceremoniously: "Senior Brother Ji, then we will take our leave." The tone was very disrespectful.
The fourth prince stammered and said, "Ji... Ji Guoshou, actually... I... I played two games of chess with you... in Guanyi Pavilion in Beijing."
Ji Wenzhao looked at the fourth prince, frowned and thought, the fourth prince hurriedly said: "My surname is..."
Ji Wenzhao nodded: "Young Master Jiang! That's right, Young Master Jiang, we played chess before I left Beijing last time."
The fourth prince nodded happily, and said: "Can you ask Ji Guoshou to play another game with me?" He had a tall image of Baoguan in his heart, and he deeply felt that the power of a role model is really infinite.
Yan hurriedly said: "How can it be done?! If you play chess, we won't be able to leave the city before dark, and we won't be able to leave early tomorrow. I'm still in a hurry! Get there early..." Shen Wen coughed, and Yan Shi stopped talking.
Ji Wenzhao frowned: "What?"
Yan said seriously: "Bian... Bian Huan! You don't know where we are going!"
Ji Wenzhao murmured: "Bian Huan? According to your brain... it should be a similar word..."
Yan said loudly: "What do you mean?! What is my brain?! Why don't you talk about your own brain?!"
Ji Wenzhao said: "Bian Huan, Bianguan... are you going to Bianguan?"
Yan sighed loudly: "I said it all! Bian Huan, it's a place name!"
Ji Wenzhao shook his head: "You know I've never seen it before. If you know it, I must know it. The place you mentioned is wrong..."
He seemed to have noticed their clothes suddenly, looked up and down the clothes of several people, frowned and said to himself: "It doesn't look like it's a long journey, but maybe it's a temporary change..."
Yan stared: "You still care about how other people wear clothes?! These are not your business, just treat my cousin better, let's leave!"
Ji Wenzhao suddenly smiled. He was very scholarly and polite: "When you come to my humble house, why don't you skip dinner? It's getting late now, and it's not good to leave the city in a hurry. My wife just said that I want to keep you for dinner. I always hear this kind of thing. Ma'am, please be sure to show your face."
Yan didn't know that Ji Wenzhao had been in contact with Su Wanniang before, so she naturally couldn't see the strong curiosity that Ji Wenzhao felt because of all kinds of puzzles at this moment. She was in a hurry to leave, but just about to shirk again, Ji Wenzhao said sternly: "You used to Not entering the house is unfilial! No matter how anxious you are, go and see your parents!" Seeing Yan's slight hesitation, Ji Wenzhao immediately said: "Otherwise, everything will go wrong!" This big hat As soon as it was buckled, Yan sighed and looked at others again.
Ji Wenzhao immediately said to the fourth prince: "I can play a game of chess with you." The fourth prince immediately smiled brightly and looked at the others eagerly. .
Zhang Yunzheng agreed after thinking that everyone had been bumpy during this time and hadn't had a good meal. Hearing Ji Wenzhao's righteous and stern accusation against Yan Shi, Shen Wen also felt that Yan Shi should meet his parents, so he nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Yan said loudly: "Okay! But Senior Brother Ji needs to prepare more good wine and food!"
Ji Wenzhao said: "Of course, of course, I will definitely make everyone eat and drink enough."
