"Thank you, Miss Wen'er, we see."

There were responses from Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang in the house.

Recently, Ma Zhou's mood is as brilliant as this snowy weather, after the teacher told him that Hongxiu had good news, the corners of Ma Zhou's mouth never closed, and he would often wake up laughing when he even slept and dreamed, and he woke up Liu Renliang several times at night.

The biggest regret of the parents when they were dying was that they could not see the birth of their grandson and the growth of Ma Fang······

"Teacher, you called us."

Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang sorted out their clothes and came to Tao Ran's room.

"Come and sit down next to the teacher, the teacher has something very important to tell you two today."

Tao Ran said with a solemn face.

Seeing the teacher's solemn look, Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang knew that something big must have happened, so they hurriedly sat down next to the teacher according to the words.

"The teacher remembers when the teacher asked you what you were studying. You answered that the teacher is to contribute to the imperial court, make profits for the people, and build a better country in the Tang Dynasty. Do you remember? ”

Tao Ran looked at the two and said slowly.

"Teacher, students dare not forget, students always remember it."

Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang replied in unison.

"Now there is a great opportunity for you to serve the court and benefit the people, the teacher has recommended the two of you in front of His Majesty considering the actual ability of the two of you, if there is no big accident, it must be that the two of you were finally appointed by His Majesty, the teacher hopes that no matter where you go, don't forget your original intention, don't do things that are sorry for the country, sorry for the people, and sorry for your conscience."

Tao Ran spoke earnestly and taught.

"What the teacher said should be remembered by the students for the rest of their lives, but they don't know what the great opportunity is for the teacher to learn?"

Liu Renliang looked up at the teacher and asked.

"You both know about the four generals going to conquer the Turks, and now that the Turkic tribes have been completely defeated, Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan have also been escorted back to Chang'an, and they will be beheaded at the execution site tomorrow. The imperial court urgently needs to set up a management body in the Western Regions, and the teacher suggested setting up two metropolitan protectorates, so that the two of you can serve as the governors of the metropolitan protectorates, and His Majesty has agreed in person, and several important ministers have no objections. ”

Tao Ran replied truthfully.

Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang stood on the spot in an instant.

This is a good thing that they never dreamed of, and it can also be said that they dare not pursue it in their lives.

The Metropolitan Governor is at least a five-rank official, and it is undoubtedly a step to the sky for them······

"What? You two don't want to? ”

Tao Ran looked at the shocked two and asked.

"The teacher's kindness, the student doesn't know how to repay it, such an opportunity that can't be dreamed of, how can the student be unwilling, it's the teacher's kindness."

Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang were awakened from shock by the teacher's words, and replied excitedly.

"In this case, the teacher is relieved, to be honest, the teacher is really reluctant to leave the teacher's side, the teacher's side is when you need help, you two are now the teacher's right-hand man, but the teacher knows that the teacher can't keep you forever. If you go to the Western Regions, you must do government affairs in a down-to-earth manner, as long as you do it well, you will naturally be on the rise, and he will enter the court in the future. And don't forget your original intention. ”

"Students remember the teacher's teachings and dare not forget for the rest of their lives, no matter where the student goes or where he is, the student will always be the teacher's student, and the teacher will always be the student's teacher."

Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang replied solemnly.

Tao Ran smiled and nodded when he heard this, he didn't look at the wrong person, these two young people really wouldn't let him down.

"I'll pack up and go home, Hongxiu still needs you to take care of her, it's best to take her to work with you, there is a complete home in the Western Regions, Teacher Ma Fang helps you teach, when she is a few years older and continues to go to school according to her own wishes, does Teacher Ma Zhou have any opinions on this arrangement?"

"The students are all arranged by the teacher, and Ma Fang will trouble the teacher to take care of it."

"Okay, since that's the case, let's clean it up, the teacher asked Zhang Qiang to send you back to the house in a carriage. Ren Liang will stay in the academy and wait for his appointment. ”

"Thank you, teacher, the student is leaving."

The two respectfully bowed and retired, and after exiting the room, they couldn't help waving their hands fiercely, and the feeling of ascending to the sky in one step now made them still have a feeling, like a dream.

Others may not be able to achieve the goal of their whole life, and the teacher solved the official position of the two of them from Wupin with one sentence, and now the two of them are still stupid and have a feeling of unreality.

"Senior brother, junior brother will help you pack your luggage, what can you do with your sister-in-law tonight······"

Liu Renliang looked at Ma Zhou, who looked excited, and said.

"you, take care of your skin, I see that you kid is underwhelmed."

When Ma Zhou heard this, he was about to raise his hand, and Liu Renliang was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away.

Liu Renliang helped Ma Zhou pack his luggage, and then sent him down the mountain, and Zhang Qiang had already set up the carriage and waited.

Before Ma Zhou got into the carriage, he suddenly glanced back at Nanshan Academy, this place that gave him hope and opportunities, this time he went to the Western Regions for thousands of miles, I don't know if I have a chance to return here in this life, thinking of this, Ma Zhou suddenly let go of his heart.

"Poof" Ma Zhou fell to his knees.

kowtowed to the academy three times, and then resolutely boarded the carriage and headed in the direction of the Hou Mansion.

"Hongxiu, I'm back."

As soon as Ma Zhou got out of the carriage, he called out loudly.

"Big housekeeper, Sister Hongxiu is still in the restaurant, and she can't come back until night, why are you back? Give the luggage to Cuckoo and I'll help you carry it back. ”

When the cuckoo came out of the house and saw that it was Ma Zhou, he hurriedly greeted him warmly.

"But you can't do it, Ma Zhou, you carry your luggage by yourself, Juan. How did Grandma explain you? Why don't you remember? You can't do your best anymore, you kid, you're a dead eye. ”

The old lady came out of the house and said loudly.

"Old lady, how could Ma Zhou let Du Juan carry his luggage, your old man is still well?" Ma Zhou said cordially.

"Okay, okay, okay, what's going on with you? Why did you bring all your luggage back, what do you want to do? ”

The old lady asked suspiciously.

"The teacher is very good to me, and now I have arranged official positions for me and Liu Renliang, and I am waiting to take office, and the teacher asked me to take Hongxiu to take office together."

Ma Zhou replied truthfully.

"Okay, our Ma Zhou is finally promising, what kind of official position is it?"

The old lady asked happily.

"It is a new official position from the capital of the five grades, a new official position in the imperial court, or a student recommended by the teacher to take office."

The old lady was so shocked that she almost lost her feet.

From the official position of Wupin, the old lady knows that it can be regarded as a big member, and now her grandson has given it to Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang with a word, is her grandson's energy so great now.

"Old lady, I'll put my luggage and go to the hotel first."

Ma Zhou said to the shocked old lady.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" The cuckoo asked as he helped his grandmother in a daze.

"It's okay, grandma is okay, girl, let's go back to the house."

The old lady replied, and returned to the hall with the help of the cuckoo.

Ma Zhou took out a horse in the stable, and after leaving the house, he rode straight to Tao Xiaosheng Restaurant.

"Sister Hongxiu, are you thinking about Brother Ma again?"

Er Ya looked at Gao Hongxiu who was in a daze on the counter and asked.

"Second Miss, you are still young and don't understand your sister's mind." Gao Xiuhong replied.

"Who said I'm still young? I'm not small. Erya raised her little head unconvinced and responded mischievously.

"Okay, my second lady is not young, and she is in a hurry to get married."

Gao Hongxiu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Erya's little face instantly turned red.

"I'm not in a hurry to get married, Sister Hongxiu, is it good to get married?" Erya snuggled up to Hongxiu's side and asked quietly.

"This? Only when the second lady herself experienced it herself, she knew. ”

Gao Hongxiu's ears were hot when she was asked by Erya. Thinking of Ma Zhou's crazy appearance, Hongxiu couldn't help but feel dry... Warm it up.

"Hongxiu, I'm back."

A familiar voice that could no longer be familiar remembered in Hongxiu's ears.

This voice has been remembered in Hongxiu's dreams every night recently, and she always sheds a trace of sentimental tears when she wakes up from the dream.

"Sister Hongxiu, look, it's Big Brother Ma coming back, it's really Big Brother Ma coming back."

Erya was even more excited than Hongxiu, and pulled Hongxiu's sleeve vigorously and said loudly.

"Isn't the academy on vacation yet? How did you come back early? Gao Hongxiu looked left and right to see that there were no guests in the hall, and asked softly.

"Hehe, didn't I miss you? I don't think about the tea you think about, the food is not fragrant, and the teacher feels sorry for me, so let me come back and get together with you. Ma Zhou's hot eyes looked at Gao Hongxiu and spoke.

"Pure nonsense, the second young lady can be here."

Gao Hongxiu blushed and lowered her head shyly.

"No, I still miss our son, so just take a look at our son."

Ma Zhou happily showed his two tiger teeth, and his smile had never been so bright.

"Even if you still have a little conscience, how do you know it's our son? There must be something else, right? Gao Hongxiu lowered her head and said with a red face.

"The lady is really smart, and now I am about to take office and become an official from the fifth grade, of course the lady will take my son with me to take office, and the family will be reunited from then on, and I think it is very beautiful."

Ma Zhou said happily.

"I'm here to make people happy again, where is it quite good to be a big official from the fifth grade, and it's actually good to coax people?"

Gao Hongxiu gave Ma Zhou a roll of his eyes and said.

"Lady, I really don't lie to you, the teacher personally recommended me and benevolence in front of His Majesty, and the two of us will wait for His Majesty's holy decree to take office in a few days."

Ma Zhou replied truthfully.

"Brother Ma, are you saying that you and Brother Liu are about to go to the Western Regions?"

Er Ya asked with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Yes, Second Miss. It was all arranged by the teacher, and I will never forget the kindness of the teacher in my life. ”

"Brother Ma, why didn't Brother Liu come back?"

Erya didn't know why her heart began to panic, the unconscious face lying on the hospital bed appeared in front of her again, I don't know when it started, that person, that face, had actually broken into Erya's heart.

"The teacher said that the junior brother has no home or job in Chang'an, so let him wait for the holy decree in the academy, and when the holy decree is over, I will leave with the junior brother to take office."

Ma Zhou replied truthfully.

This time, even Hongxiu couldn't help but believe it, she cried with joy, Ma Zhou became an official from Wupin, and the child in her belly will have a good background in the future, and her future life will be happier and sweeter, and choosing Ma Zhou is really the most correct choice in this life.

Hearing this, Erya turned around and went upstairs, the former brother's room on the second floor now belonged to Erya, closed the door, Erya could no longer hold back the tears like a tide, and tears slanted out.

Brother Liu is leaving, it is thousands of miles away in the Western Regions, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in this life.

Erya now feels that he should be happy for Brother Liu, because entering the official career has always been the ideal he pursues and the hope that supports him to come to study.

But when this wish was fulfilled by Brother Liu, Erya couldn't be happy······

Why did her tears flow endlessly······

Why does her heart hurt so much······

No one noticed the change in her, no one knew that she was crying in the hut, and no one in the world understood her today·····

Erya, whose tears were about to run dry, suddenly made a decision of her own, no matter what, she would go to see Brother Liu, even if it was the last one.

With a decision in her heart, Erya suddenly felt that her heart didn't hurt so much, and her body seemed to be relaxed.

Ma Zhou, who accompanied Hongxiu back to his house at night, had a happy smile on his face all the time.

After dinner and carefully washing Hongxiu's feet, Ma Zhou climbed up.

"You've taken care of our son·····"

Gao Hongxiu whispered.

"Don't worry, lady, I'm measured······"

The moon hid in the clouds again, not daring to look directly at what was happening in the young man's room... Describe the event.

The execution ground in Chang'an City is surrounded today, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and all people are pressed.

There was still an hour before three o'clock in the afternoon, and people were already waiting for this moment that was destined to be very happy.

Old man Zhang Lin came at dawn, and he wanted to be at the front to see these two beasts fall in front of him.

The belief in avenging his son has supported him to live to this day, otherwise on the day of the tragedy, he would have followed the children, why bother to live in pain until now.

Groups of soldiers escorted the Khali Khan and the Tuli Khan in the carriage and the two of them to the execution ground.

Today, the four of them still enjoy the treatment of a single room in an iron cage, and it has not changed.
