After the two returned to Tangjia Village, Hong Zhong had also returned from the county seat. When he saw Tang Shi get off Zhao Jin's back, he couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Tang is injured?"
Zhao Jin smiled, "I'm tired of riding a horse."
Hong Zhong suddenly realized, "By the way, Young Master, the boss has started urging again."
The head of the commander of the guards naturally refers to the emperor. Although the new emperor had given Zhao Jin three months, it was obvious that the new emperor had encountered a problem and urgently needed Zhao Jin to go to the capital to solve his problems. And even if it is three months, it will take six or seven days to travel fast on the road, and it will take a few days to go to Kyoto. During the buffer period, they should prepare to leave now.
Zhao Jin glanced at Tang Shi, and Tang Shi smiled at the two of them, "I'll go home first."
Since his arm healed, he moved back to the Tang family.
During dinner in the evening, Tang Shi suddenly asked, "Dad, Xiaofeng and the others will go to school in three August, which school do you think is better?"
Li Shao originally went to the school, but after Tang Yue and Li Yuan left, they returned to the Tang family village. Li Shao lived with his mother and lived in the Tang family, so he didn't go to the school anymore. Tang Shi planned to wait until August to bring the three of them together. sent to the school together.
Tang Qing was asked, how did he know which school to go to? Including Tang Nian and Tang Ji, they are all down-to-earth peasants, this kind of thing is really unclear.
But Tang Yue knew something, she heard Tang Shi ask so, she said: "If you want to say which school is the best, it must be the best in the county, but the school in the county is difficult to enter, and it is not enough to only pay for the repair."
"And what's the point?" Fang said in surprise, "What kind of people can enter?"
"It is said that generally only children from the county town are recruited, and very few children from the countryside are admitted, unless they are good at reading."
Tang Shi's heart moved, if Xiao Jin could make money this time, they might be able to buy a house in the county seat.
He had learned before that a typical two-in, two-out house would cost about thirty-two to thirty-five taels of silver, and the price would naturally vary depending on the location. Two in and two outs are enough for their family. If they were able to live in the county town, Xiaofeng's admission would be easy.
However, this matter can't be rushed. Xiaofeng and the others have to wait until August for admission, and it is only May now, so they still have time.
As soon as Tang Shi finished dinner, there was a knock on the courtyard door of Tang's house. Tang Nian went to open the door and saw that it was Zhao Jin, and hurriedly welcomed him in.
"Brother Zhao, have you eaten yet?"
Zhao Jin smiled and nodded, "I've eaten, I'm here to find the stone, and I have something to tell him."
He came to the house and found that Tang Shi was smothering his head and cooking rice. He was helpless and funny, "Brother Stone, I have something to look for you."
Tang Shi said sullenly, "I haven't eaten yet."
"Then I'll wait for you." Zhao Jin really stayed on the side and watched Tang Shi eat. Tang Shi was embarrassed by him under the onlookers of the Tang family, so he quickly finished the rice in the bowl. Said: "Let's go."
After Tang Shi followed Zhao Jin, Tang Yue couldn't help asking: "This Zhao family's eldest brother has a good relationship with his younger brother, and he has no official prestige at all."
Tang Qing was smoking a cigarette, "Zhao Jia Dalang is good, isn't Shao'er also learning martial arts from him now? I didn't see anything from your mother-in-law."
Tang Yue smiled dryly, "Isn't this frightened by him? I dare not talk to him."
Tang Qing felt that Tang Yue was looking for an excuse, what was the scary thing about the Dalang of the Zhao family? He is handsome, and he is loyal and righteous. Even if he is really rich, he has no dislike for his own family. Where can such a good young man be found
In fact, Tang Qing blamed Tang Yue this time. It wasn't that Tang Yue didn't try to show her favor to Zhao Jin, but every time she saw Zhao Jin's eyes looking at her, she couldn't help but feel terrified, and she couldn't say anything. Out.
"Father, since the relationship between the eldest son of the Zhao family and his younger brother is so unusual, then the matter of the school is not his business? Why bother?"
Tang Qing glanced at her, "Ah Yue, no matter how good this relationship is, it can't stand such a waste of time. How did you become like this all these years? What did that bastard Li Yuan teach you?"
Tang Yue's face suddenly became hot, and she said unwillingly: "Dad, did I say something wrong? Isn't Xiaofeng's future important? I'm thinking of them, why not go to a good school? Studying in this small private school in the countryside? Even if you study for decades, you won’t be able to get into Tongsheng.”
Tang Qing felt that his daughter was stunned. In his eyes, reading is an excellent way out, but not everyone is suitable for reading. Of course they have to fight for what they should fight for, but it is not theirs, and they can't force it. . If Xiaofeng and the others can only go to a private school in the countryside, there is no way to do it. Tang Qing, who is a scholar and a champion, has never thought about it. He hopes that they can recognize a few words and live in peace.
"Zhao Dalang's appointment as an official is also his own creation. We are rushing to ask for help, like what? Isn't this embarrassing for him? Don't mention this kind of thing in the future." In the end, Tang Qing made a decision, and the rest of the Tang family agreed. He had no opinion whatsoever.
Tang Yue, on the other hand, looked at the Tang family with hatred, she really didn't know what to say if she let such a good opportunity in front of her.
After the Tang family went back to their rooms to rest, Tang Yue deliberately called Li Shao to the corner and said earnestly, "Shao'er, do you want to go to the school in the county?"
Li Shao looked at her indifferently: "I don't want to."
Tang Yue was blocked by his words, so she was silent for a while, and said another word, "Shao Er, mother is for your own good, the school in the county is much better than the one in the country, if you live in the country every day, you can do it in the future. How to do?"
Li Shao really didn't want to talk to her more, "This is my business, you don't need to worry about it."
Tang Yue couldn't accept him talking to herself like this, "I'm your mother, you have to listen to your mother's words. You and your mother promised to study hard, but you can't go back on your word."
Li Shao turned his head away, "Then go and talk to your grandfather."
Tang Yue sighed, "What's the use of telling your grandfather, I called you here mainly to ask you, don't you follow your Uncle Zhao to learn martial arts every day? Is he treating you well? Would you like to mention it to him yourself? "
Li Shao didn't know what to say, "Mother, the reason why I still call you mother is because you gave birth to me and raised me so big, but that doesn't mean I don't know what you've done. What is it for, you want me to study and become a high official is only for your future life, but you can rest assured that I will support you in the future, and I will not let you starve and freeze, but that's all."
He didn't wait for Tang Yue to speak and continued: "Uncle Zhao taught me martial arts just for the sake of my uncle. You should put away your idea. It's a joke if people hear it."
Tang Yue had never heard Li Shao talk to her for such a long time at one time, and it was such a speech full of irony and ridicule. She instantly hated herself for raising such an unfilial son.
"Your little uncle treats you well, why don't you talk to him." Tang Yue was still reluctant to give up, resisting Li Shao's "disrespect" towards her, and continued.
Li Shao suddenly looked at her with a very strange look, "So you know that my uncle treats me well? I thought you couldn't see it at all. But what were you doing when my uncle was injured? Talking and laughing with people, I didn't care at all, do you know that sometimes I really don't have the face to stay at my grandfather's house, you always only know what to ask, but what have you done for them? Mother, do you know that I have Sometimes I even thought, why am I your son?"
Tang Yue was shocked. She never thought that her son hated her so much. She thought that her son was just rebellious and disobedient.
"Shao'er, you..."
Li Shao glanced at her, "Mother, think about it carefully."
Tang Yue looked at the thin figure he left, and then suddenly realized that her son was only eight years old. Did she really ignore him too much
On this side, Tang Yue was thinking about life. On the other side, Tang Shi followed Zhao Jin to Zhao's house. Zhao Jin took him to the study and held his hand gently, "Are you angry?"
Tang Shi sat down on his chair, folded his arms and smiled at him, "Why am I angry?"
In fact, Zhao Jin couldn't understand Tang Shi's mind, but he was always keen. Even if Tang Shi used a smile to hide his emotions, he could still feel Tang Xiao's depression.
"Because I'm leaving?" He did have to leave Tangjia Village and go to Kyoto in less than a month. He wanted to pack Tang Xiao away, but he could only think about it.
Tang Shi lowered his eyelashes, "What does it matter to me whether you leave or not?"
With a sigh in his heart, Zhao Jin stepped forward and picked Tang Shi up, letting him sit face to face on his lap, "I will come back to see you often."
"Commander Wei is so busy?" Zhao Jin's handsome face was reflected in Tang Shi's jade-like pupils.
Zhao Jin smiled, "There is always going to be a mission."
Tang Shi looked at him with disgust, "Could it be that the emperor asked you to do things in the south, and you still came here?"
Zhao Jin was reluctant to part with it, but he had no choice. Tang Xiao wanted to live a peaceful and stable life. Of course, he wanted to do his best to support him.
"Tang Shi," Zhao Jin pressed his forehead to Tang Shi's, earnestly and focused, "I'm more afraid than you."
Tang Shi is younger than him. When he is away, Tang Shi will gradually grow up. There are too many accidents and temptations in the process of growing up. He is really afraid. After two or three years, Tang Shi will forget him. Clean up, then get married and have children. If things really turned out like this, he really didn't know what he would do at that time.
Tang Shi didn't ask Zhao Jin what he was afraid of. He just looked at him. The two were very close, and their breaths were intertwined. Tang Shi thought, if he was more than thirteen years old, would Zhao Jin kiss him in the next second.
Zhao Jin looked at the clear eyes that were so close at hand, and felt that his heart beat faster. He wanted to kiss Tang, but he spurned him at the same time. In his heart, heaven and man fought for a while, but in the end, rationality prevailed. Don't want to scare Tang Shi.
He reached out and pressed Tang Shi's head on his shoulder, and said in Tang Shi's ear, "Don't forget me, Tang Shi."
