63. Return to Chang'an
Chapter 63
"Mother, go and rest, it's windy at night, I'll just wait here, I'll tell you as soon as Xiaoshi comes back." Feng added a cloak to the old lady and persuaded.
At this time, it was already a child, Tang Xiaoshi had not come back, and the old lady was not relieved, and insisted on waiting for Xiaoshi to come back in the lobby.
The old lady blamed herself: "No matter how many people I send out to look for it, I haven't come back at this time, and my heart is panicking...... It's all my old woman's bad idea. โ
"The newly recruited subordinates have been sent out, the housekeeper has also found some tenants to help, and the people under Wu Sange are also looking for it, mother, you can rest assured, Xiaoshi has such a big ability, no one can bully her, maybe she just doesn't want us to find her."
"No matter how capable you are, it's also a girl's house, I can't rest assured." The old lady insisted on waiting until Tang Xiaoshi came back.
At this moment, the door covered by the courtyard was pushed open with a "squeak", and Feng Shi tightened his lantern and stepped forward to see if Tang Xiaoshi had returned.
It's Tang Xiaoshi.
Dressed in men's clothes, he smelled of alcohol, but he was not drunk, and the expression on his face was calm, without the anger and entanglement that he had when he rushed out of his home.
Tang Xiaoshi saw that her grandmother, who was already old, was still waiting for her to come back in the lobby late at night, her face was full of worry, and the little anger that was left disappeared, and said, "Grandmother, I'm sorry for worrying you." โ
"It's good to be back." Seeing Tang Xiaoshi come back safe and sound, the old lady's wrinkles stretched a little.
The next day, the old lady asked Feng to push her into Tang Xiaoshi's room, and then Feng left very interestingly.
"Grandmother is here to compensate you, I know you must still blame your grandmother for making her own assertions." The old lady said.
Tang Xiaoshi said: "My grandmother is also thinking about me, how can I blame my grandmother?" Besides, the problem is with me and him, even if there is no incident the night before, there are some things that must be clearly explained to King Jing, so as not to cause misunderstandings after a long time. โ
"Lord Jing is a good home." The old lady said, she didn't come purely to compensate, but to be a lobbyist, "You have to believe in your grandmother's vision, King Jing is reliable, you won't suffer with him, child, there are only so many good men in the world, you finally met one, what are you waiting for if you don't hurry?" โ
Tang Xiaoshi didn't know how to explain. Could it be that Chu Ming's purpose is not pure to tell the old lady, Chu Ming married her just for his world? In that way, the old lady will definitely praise Chuming for having great ambitions, being a good man, and worthy of entrusting him for life.
Tang Xiaoshi said that what the old lady cares about is not on the same level after all.
Women in feudal society are too easily satisfied, and the long-term patriarchal thinking makes them ignore that marriage is basically feelings, and they will treat men's love and spoiling as โกโก affection, and be grateful for it.
The old lady saw that Chu Ming took care of Tang Xiaoshi every day, so she naturally classified this as "love".
But Tang Xiaoshi's body lives with a restless soul, she can't accept such a view of love, even if she doesn't have Su Ming's existence in her heart, she can't accept Chu Ming's confession.
Tang Xiaoshi said: "Grandmother, don't worry about it, I know that Chu Ming is a good man, he has ability, ambition, and temperament, but he is really not my dish." โ
The old lady was puzzled that this granddaughter could say something that she did not understand, and asked, "What do you mean that he is not your dish?" โ
"He's not to my liking."

At lunchtime, Chu Ming did not appear. At dinner, Chu Ming still didn't appear, and Xiao Liu also disappeared.
Tang Xiaoshi thought that Chu Ming had said goodbye.
Tang Xiaoshi secretly thought, maybe it was her words that made Chu Ming understand that there was no need to work her anymore, it was better to leave quietly like this, so as to avoid embarrassment when the two of them met again, after all, the words had already been pierced.
Solving a "trouble" should have been a happy thing, but Tang Xiaoshi couldn't be happy.
Maybe it's because I've drunk too much wine in the past two days, my tongue taste buds are weak, and the food on the table tastes tasteless.
Another day has passed, Tang Xiaoshi and Tang Dong'er should also go back to Chang'an, if she doesn't go back, there will be a college in Nuo University, and Mr. Han may not be able to bear it alone.
On the dock, the Zhang family came to send Tang Xiaoshi, and the two old people felt the most uncomfortable, they went far away, and they didn't know when they would see Tang Xiaoshi again.
Tang Xiaoshi persuaded the two old men and Feng to follow her to Chang'an, and only when the family lived together could they feel at home, but her grandfather Zhang Yuan said: "Chang'an, naturally we are going to go, but we have to wait for your uncle to mix up, wait for Lin Er's gold list to be named, and then go to Chang'an justifiably at that time." โ
After listening to her grandfather's words, Tang Xiaoshi stopped persuading, because she understood that the Zhang family also had the pride of the Zhang family.
Feng Shi said: "I can't go either, I'm a woman's family, wouldn't going there cause trouble for Da Gang and Lin Er?" Besides, my father and mother are at home, and I, as a daughter-in-law, can't rest assured. โ
After that, Feng was a little embarrassed to remove two heavy burdens from the carriage, which contained the clothes, shoes, and two large jars of pickles she had sewn these days.
The old lady scolded: "It's a long way to go, you really don't have too much to do, how can you let Xiaoshi bring so many things?" Besides, how can Chang'an not have expensive clothes, and still need to bring these things from home? โ
Tang Xiaoshi understood that these were the efforts of her uncle, and it was a woman's concern for her husband and son who were far away, so she took the two big burdens and said, "If you don't care, just hire a servant on the road." โ
Tang Xiaoshi agreed, and Feng was very happy.
Because Huang Yuan was going to participate in the examination, he also went to Chang'an with him, and he had a strong affection for his eldest mother, and there were many indescribable reluctances.
Third Brother Wu rushed over at the last moment, sat in the carriage and didn't get down, nodded to Tang Xiaoshi from a distance and left. Tang Xiaoshi understood that Third Brother Wu was here to sue her, the eagle slave had been released back to Chang'an, and the bait was on the eagle slave.
Tang Xiaoshi took the waterway, the eagle slave took the land route, the eagle slave would arrive in Chang'an one step later than Tang Xiaoshi, and the little free time in the middle was enough for Tang Xiaoshi to prepare.
The burning of Zhang's house is not over yet.
The sails were raised, the boat sailed north, and Tang Xiaoshi waved goodbye to her relatives.
Tang Xiaoshi stood at the bow of the boat, blowing the last cold wind of the tail winter, and a few drops of rain suddenly fell from the sky, and I don't know if it was the last winter rain in the tail winter or the earliest rain and dew in early spring.
Tang Xiaoshi didn't mean to hide from the rain, but she had an umbrella to block the raindrops for her, she thought it was Dong'er.
"Girl, what kind of food do you like to eat? I can turn that into that dish. โ

Chang'an, Sanwei Academy, Mr. Han Ke is in class, and now he is the only one in the academy who is a serious gentleman, and the daily classes are full, but the old man is not tired of it.
Because he can really feel that according to Tang Xiaoshi's teaching method, he is really creating a miracle.
And he is one of the creators of miracles.
Knowing Arabic numerals almost opens the door to simple arithmetic for students, and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division lays a solid foundation for students.
Hanke is increasingly discovering that the foundation laid by Tang Xiaoshi for students in the early stage is not only practical, but also has infinite room for expansion, such as learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, the next step can learn how to find the area, find the volume, and then the next step to apply the area to the design of the house.
This kind of expansion model is obviously much more clever than shaking your head and carrying the "hook three strands, four strings and five" without knowing why.
However, Han Ke also encountered a problem, although Tang Xiaoshi gave him both volumes of "Geometric Diagrams", but his research time was still short, and it was difficult to understand the connotation thoroughly.
In this way, when he is in class, he will not know how to explain the situation to the students.
For example, in today's morning class, Hanke taught students how to find the volume of a ball, the formula in the book is very simple, you can get the volume by knowing the length of the diameter, and the students who have already mastered multiplication will soon know how to use this formula.
At this time, Tang An raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Han, you said that you know what it is, and you need to know why it is true, students want to know, how did today's formula come about?" โ
Looking at Tang An's genuinely eager gaze, Han Ke regretted that he didn't understand the truth and couldn't give the student an answer.
But he did not fool the past, but replied sincerely: "Sir is ashamed, and I don't know why...... However, Mr. Tang must know that when she comes back, we can ask her for advice together. โ
The fact that the gentleman could not solve the problem not only did not affect the children's enthusiasm for learning, but aroused their great curiosity about this formula.
Under the guidance of Tang Xiaoshi in the early stage, the brain circuits of these children are very different from those of the scholars outside.
If the gentleman can't answer it, ordinary scholars will think, "If you can't even answer the gentleman, how can I answer it?" So he gave up; But these children in the academy, what they thought was, "Mr. can't solve it, if I do, wouldn't it be more powerful than Mr.?" This momentum will encourage them to continue their research.
After class, Han Ke was drinking tea in the living room while continuing to study the book "Arithmetic Illustrated", and it was when he was fascinated that Han Shiniang came in and said: "Old man, the heads of households in the village are all gathered at the gate of the academy, you can go and have a look." โ
Tang Xiaoshi was not there, and Mr. Han Ke naturally became the manager of the academy.
When he heard this, he was terrible, could it be that the academy had offended the tenants in Beizhuang, otherwise how could they gather at the gate of the academy?
"Check it out."
Han Ke walked outside the gate of the academy, and the scene in front of him stunned him, he knew from this moment how high Tang Xiaoshi's position in the hearts of the tenants of Beizhuang was, and he thought that the tenants in front of him were all here for Tang Xiaoshi.
Dozens of tenants stood neatly, each carrying a bamboo basket, some of which contained freshly steamed jujube cakes, some of which contained a basket of eggs, and some of which had a small jar of wine.
Looking at this battle, it doesn't look like he's here to make trouble, but it's like he's here to thank you.
Mr. Han Ke said loudly: "Fellow villagers, Mr. Tang has not come back yet, so please go back first." โ
Bao Chang Zhao Ji stood up and said: "Mr. Han, we are not here to find Mr. Tang this time, we are here to find you, you have worked hard to teach the children in the village to read, read and count, this is a little bit of the villagers' heart." โ
