In a daze, Wang Xuannian felt that someone was hugging him and kissed him on the forehead.

"Hmm", is this a dream?

Wang Xuannian felt that something was wrong, opened his eyes, and saw Zhong Xuanlan kissing him with his eyes closed, serious and focused, he didn't know what to do for a while, his breathing became short, and his two hands unconsciously wanted to push Zhong Xuanlan away.

Zhong Xuanlan was stunned, let go of Wang Xuannian's mouth, and his emotional phoenix eyes were charming and moving.

Wang Xuannian licked his lips unconsciously, touching Zhong Xuanlan's burning gaze, making him a little scared and wanting to escape.

Zhong Xuanlan leaned into Wang Xuannian's ear and tempted: "Kiss me, okay?" ”

Wang Xuannian was stunned, and raised his eyes to look at Zhong Xuanlan's eyes, which were deep and mysterious, making people deeply trapped and unable to extricate themselves.

Wang Xuannian shyly raised his hand around Zhong Xuanlan's neck, approached little by little, and finally kissed her, wanting to touch and leave.

Wang Xuannian buried his head in Zhong Xuanlan's arms, adjusted his breathing, and breathed her scent greedily.

Zhong Xuanlan patted him on the back and said, "I'm going to leave for a while, you take good care of yourself at home." ”

Wang Xuannian said with some grievances: "You want to go?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan pinched his chin with his left hand, looked at him, and said seriously: "I can't change it before, and today I will remember that I am a married person." ”

Wang Xuannian nodded stiffly.

This night, Zhong Xuanlan fell asleep with Wang Xuannian in his arms before returning to the study to arrange for Zhong You and the next two months.

When the sky was slightly white, he left Zhongfu with the winter solstice and went straight to Quanzhou......

On this day, knowing that there was a cry, the leaves were sizzling, and the study hidden by the big trees was slightly hot and the wind blew into the study through the window, and was dissolved by the ice basin inside, and became cool.

Zhong Xian was patiently lecturing, and Wang Xuannian was listening carefully.

Zhong Xian was very satisfied with this student in his heart, and said: "Childe, you have finished learning the three books of "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Text" and "Zhong Family Inheritance". The old man will not come again after today. ”

Wang Xuannian looked at Zhong Xian suspiciously.

Zhong Xian smiled and said: "Childe is the most obedient student I have ever taught, the head of the family is smart, the second young master is naughty, back then their sister and brother tossed the old man so badly, fortunately, the son gave the old man a little comfort." ”

Wang Xuannian listened, hooked the corners of his mouth and raised slightly.

Zhong Xian asked, "Do you know why the Zhong family's teaching is different from the outside?" ”

Wang Xuannian was at a loss, he hadn't gone to school, so he didn't know, and shook his head.

Zhong Xiandao: "The enlightenment of the Zhong family is the "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Text" and "Zhong Family Inheritance", these three books are for literacy, and the other is to remember the hardships and merits of the Zhong family's ancestors. The third is to teach people how to behave in the world. ”

Wang Xuannian listened carefully, and always felt that the master's words were very important.

Zhong Xian took a sip of tea and said, "After that, we learned "Arithmetic" and reading the account book. Then, while going out to talk about business with the elders, on the other hand, according to the needs, dabbling in other knowledge, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc. ”

Wang Xuannian nodded.

Zhong Xian said solemnly: "The Zhong family will never ask to study the Four Books and Five Classics of the imperial examination, which means that the Zhong family is not allowed to be an official, and they have both power and money, and they are the objects of fear and removal by those in power." ”

Wang Xuannian was stunned, so it was, Lan'er was on guard from the beginning.

Wang Xuannian stood up and said, "Thank you Master for reminding me." ”

Zhong Xian smiled and nodded, "In the future, you can learn to play chess with your father-in-law and calligraphy from your brother-in-law." In your spare time, you can take a look at the "Law of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty". The head of the house has excellent tea skills, and you can also learn tea art from her. ”

Wang Xuannian was grateful to Zhong Xian for his order, allowing him to stay in the backyard so that he would not be bored. "Thank you, Master." ”

From this day on, Wang Xuannian learned to play chess with Zhong Tinghao, and occasionally asked Zhong Xuanli for calligraphy.

In his free time, he was dragged by Zhong Tinghao and Zhong Xuanli father and son to play.

In short, the days in Zhongfu were very comfortable.

……

At this time, Zhong Xuanlan was waiting by the harbor for the Zhong family's ship to return from the sea.

A month ago, Zhong You reported that Zhong Xuanlan Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce had some problems, Zhong Xuanlan discussed with the manager of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters for a long time, and planned to send someone to deal with it, but he heard that the Zhong family's ship was about to return.

So, Zhong Xuanlan came to Blue Sea City in person, and when he first arrived in Blue Ocean City, it was raining here, and Zhong Xuanlan was full of worries about the Zhong family's fleet that went to sea for the first time.

Zhong Xuanlan was worried about the safety of the Zhong family's fleet while investigating the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce. After half a month of investigation, it was found that the president of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce and the manager of the Chamber of Commerce had embezzled a million taels of taxes in conjunction with the prefect of Blue Ocean City, and she reported the matter to the state pastor and the emperor, and she did not plan to meddle in the matter again.

In the distance, the big ships slowly approached, from small to large, and finally entered the harbor, and her heart fell to the ground.

The storm did not interfere with their journey, and they returned unharmed.

When Zhong Zuo saw Zhong Xuanlan, he quickly walked in front of Zhong Xuanlan and said happily: "Big boss, we are back." ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "It's hard work, after unloading, I will rest here for a few days and then go back to Kyoto." ”

"Yes."

Seagulls fly over the sea at sunset, and women and children collect fish, shrimp and shells at low tide.

After Zhong Xuanlan explained some things to Zhong Zuo, he walked back with the winter solstice. I saw a child holding a conch and liked it very much, and ordered: "Go buy three conch on the winter solstice." ”

"Yes."

Zhong Xuanlan hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at the sea, from now on, the Zhong family will usher in a new life......

In a small courtyard somewhere, in a brightly lit study, Zhong Xuanlan was still sitting there checking the business account books of this place.

The winter solstice report outside the door: "Big boss, Zhong Zuo is here." ”

"Enter."

Zhong Zuo walked in, put the list on the table and said, "Big boss, this is the list of items shipped back from the ocean, and it has been checked." ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded and said, "Transporting some of the valuable and rare items back to Kyoto, and the others are sold here or on the road one by one, and we must not let people know that this is our return from the ocean." ”

Zhong Zuo commanded: "Yes." ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "You go down and rest." ”

"Yes." Zhong Zuo retreated.

Zhong Xuanlan picked up the list and glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, put down the list, got up and came to the window, looking at the scenery in the courtyard at night, the fragrance of flowers drifted in the wind, the osmanthus flowers bloomed, it was time to go home.
