Boss Zhou held the lantern high. Zhulan said, "... ... ... Don't hold the lantern."
It was pitch black outside, and the lantern was not very bright. It looked quite scary holding the lantern. Coupled with the cold wind at night, it was so scary that people with weak mental endurance would definitely get sick.
Boss Zhou put down the lantern and moved his ears. "Mom, the sound of horse hooves is getting closer."
Zhulan finally had a smile on her face. It turned out that there really was such a thing as telepathic connection. Her feeling was right.
The carriage stopped at the door. Zhou Shuren had already heard the boss's voice in the carriage. He quickly got off the carriage and saw the blue color on Zhulan's face with the help of the dim lantern. It was caused by the cold. He frowned and took off his cloak. "Why didn't you wait in the house? Look at your face, it's blue with the cold. With the lantern, I'm lucky I'm mentally strong, otherwise I would have been scared to death."
Boss Zhou, “… .”
Dad's tone was one of heartache, but what he said made him, as a son, angry for his mother!
"hiss."
Zhou Shuren grabbed Zhulan's hand and pinched it, twisting it twice on the back of her hand. Her hands were already frozen and it hurt so much.
Boss Zhou: “… … ..”
Why did he feel that he should! He let his father talk badly. For the first time, he knew that his father was also a bad mouth. He never thought that his father was such a father in private!
Zhulan thought Zhou Shuren had been drinking late, but she didn't expect him to be drinking, so she didn't smell any alcohol.
Zhou Shuren noticed the boss and coughed, but the annoying guy didn't leave.
Boss Zhou understood immediately, "Mom, Dad, you guys take a rest, I'll be home first."
Zhou Shuren said with a serious face, sparing his words: "Yes."
Boss Zhou: “… … ..”
Dad, it's too late for you to be so polite now. I have already seen your true face!
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren returned to the house. Zhulan asked, "Why did you come back so late today?"
Zhou Shuren had a happy look on his face. "I went to visit a friend today. I ran into Wu Ming and his master in a teahouse at noon. It was a rare opportunity. Wu Ming invited me, so I sat down. We had a good chat. Wu Ming's master invited me back for tea, so I followed him. We chatted a little late, so he asked me to stay for dinner. That's why I came back late."
Zhulan was happy for Zhou Shuren. What Zhou Shuren needed was a famous teacher. "We'll have a chance to talk in detail this time. It seems that you have caught the eye of Master Wu Ming, Xu Jinshi."
Zhou Shuren curled his lips, "Yes, Mr. Xu said that if you have any questions, you can go to Qingshan Academy to find him."
This is the biggest unexpected gain today.
Zhulan was delighted, "That's great, it seems like it was the right decision to move to Pingzhou early."
Zhou Shuren drank a lot of tea, and sat back with a bloated stomach. He said, "I was thinking of asking Wu Ming to send Rongchuan and Mingyun to Xu Jinshi's academy tomorrow to see if they can be admitted. I took the opportunity to mention it today, and asked me to take the two children there tomorrow."
Zhu Lan said: "I will go tell Rongchuan and Mingyun and ask them to prepare in advance."
Zhou Shuren stopped him, "No need to tell them. There's nothing to prepare in advance. If we tell them now, it will affect their rest. It's better to tell them tomorrow morning so that they can get more rest."
"See, I am just happy. Let them have a good rest. By the way, the Jiang family gave me gifts in return. They are jewelry for me, ink and brush for you, and a pair of decorative bottles. I don't know the value. Can you take a look at them tomorrow?"
Zhou Shuren spent the whole day racking his brains, "Well, let's see tomorrow."
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren washed up and lay down. Zhou Shuren held Zhulan's hand and said, "You won't be late in the future."
Zhulan raised her lips, feeling sorry for her waiting in the wind. "It's still better in modern times, with convenient information."
Zhou Shuren said: "It will be more convenient to have a servant in the future."
"It's getting late, you should go to bed!"
"OK, good night."
"Good night."
After getting up early and having breakfast, Zhou Shuren talked about going to Qingshan Academy. Because of the presence of Xu Jinshi, many people come to Qingshan Academy to study every year, and admission is very difficult. The academy is very famous in the two nearby states.
Zhou Shuren had told the children about the academy in Pingzhou. They didn't expect that they could go to Qingshan Academy for an interview on the second day after arriving in Pingzhou. Rongchuan and Mingyun were a little excited.
Chang Lian and Chang Zhi looked at each other, and Chang Lian said, "Dad, we."
Zhou Shuren interrupted Chang Lian and said, "Let's talk about it after you finish the college entrance examination."
He naturally hoped that Chang Lian and Chang Zhineng would become disciples of Xu Jinshi. However, this depended on the fate of the master and the apprentice. As a father, he could not help much. This matter depended on the two children themselves.
Chang Lian suppressed his thoughts. The most important thing for him right now was the provincial examination. He clenched his fists and worked hard to pass the examination to become a scholar in order to become his disciple.
Zhou Shuren took Rongchuan and Mingyun to the academy, and the whole family was waiting for news.
Mrs. Li was worried about her son. Seeing that he hadn't returned by noon, she couldn't help but mutter, "Mom, can Mingyun make it?"
Zhulan raised her eyelids and said, "Mingyun didn't follow you two. You have to have confidence."
Li, “… … ..”
Mother, although I was comforting her, she actually didn't want this kind of comfort!
