Chapter 187 The gap between the prince and the princess
"Master, let her go over the name Hongxiu in the future, and Madame will restore her original name to Zhang Cuicui."
After paying tribute to the graves of her relatives, Zhang Cuicui said to Ma Zhou.
"Madame, as it should be. What a beautiful name Zhang Cuicui has. Father-in-law, let's go home and have a look, pack our bags and go to the Western Regions. ‘”
Ma Zhou turned to Zhang Lin and said to the old man Zhang Lin who was still wiping his tears.
"Okay, let's go home first, I won't go to the Western Regions with you two, I don't want to leave home anymore when I'm old."
Old man Zhang Lin looked at Ma Zhou and Cuicui and said.
"Father-in-law is worried about causing us trouble, right? In fact, you are too worried, don't hide it, Cuicui has been pregnant for more than three months, neither of us has any experience with children, and we still expect you to take care of children, can my father-in-law bear to leave his grandson unattended? ”
Ma Zhou said solemnly.
"Really, Cuicui is really more than three months pregnant?"
Zhang Lin's sad face was finally covered with joy, and the inheritance of the next generation's life made Zhang Laohan refreshed.
"Daddy, it's true."
Cuicui looked at Zhang Lin and nodded heavily.
"Okay, then Daddy will go to the Western Regions with you, for the sake of my eldest grandson, I have to go too."
Old man Zhang Lin spoke, a smile began to appear on his face, and his face became more and more radiant.
So Ma Zhou, Cuicui and Zhang Lin returned to their long-lost home, packed their luggage and walked to the official road.
"Old Zhangtou, are you going to leave again as soon as you come back? Has the old dog been beheaded? ”
An old man about the same age as Zhang Lin happened to come back from hunting in the back mountain, and when he saw Zhang Lin asking.
"I've found my daughter, Cuicui, this is my Cuicui......"
Zhang Lin couldn't close his mouth happily and said happily to the old man.
"Oh mom, it's really a bit like his mother when she was young, but it's a little more beautiful than his mother, old Zhangtou, you are really blessed, your daughter has grown so big, you have found it, and you are finally no longer alone."
The old man replied with emotion.
"Lao Huang, I went back to the Western Regions with my daughter and son-in-law. My son-in-law is now the governor of Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and my daughter is happy, and I will hold my grandson for more than half a year. ”
Zhang Lin said with relief.
"Ah, it turned out to be an official master, please bear with me if I am old and rude."
Although Lao Huang didn't know what the Anxi Protectorate in Zhang Lin's mouth was, the Metropolitan Governor knew that it was a very big official position, which was amazing.
"Uncle, those who don't know are not guilty, not to mention that you and your father-in-law are fellow villagers, so it doesn't matter."
Ma Zhou responded with a smile, and then spoke. "Father-in-law, it's time for us to hit the road, hundreds of soldiers are still waiting for us."
"Old Zhangtou, it turns out that the soldiers on the avenue are your son-in-law, but it's terrible, we can calculate a big man in the village, and when the dog has no way to live in the future, you will reward him for the sake of his fellow villagers."
Lao Huang took Zhang Lin's arm and prayed.
"Don't worry, as long as the children find me, I guarantee that I can't go wrong. Let's go, otherwise it's getting dark, and my daughter and son-in-law are still waiting for me. ”
Zhang Laohan happily waved goodbye to the old yellow head.
The pro-soldiers, they couldn't even think of breaking their heads, so the governor and his wife gave them away and sent out a father.
This script is really unpredictable by anyone, but fortunately, along the way, the soldiers have always been more caring and polite to this father of the Governor's wife, otherwise it may be another big trouble!
Therefore, it is a very reasonable and wise saying to be kind to others and neighbors.
When the cucumbers in the four newly built earthen houses were hanging on the branches, the end of the year also came as scheduled.
Changle and Wu Cao happily lingered in the earthen house every day, and their mouths were full of crisp and tender green cucumbers.
Tao Ran received letters from Ma Zhou and Liu Renliang one after another, and had a general understanding of the preliminary work achievements of the two.
Especially for Zhang Cuicui's miraculous encounter with her father, Tao Ran couldn't help but be amazed.
How much of this time is a cycle of cause and effect, and how much is a coincidence of cause
Tao Ran involuntarily fell into deep thought······
Looking at the carefree and cheerful little girl like two elves in front of him, Tao Ran couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
So cherish your current life and cherish every bit of joy.
For the test papers of the year-end exam, Tao Ran had already prepared the two masters, Li Gang and Kong Yingda.
The two generals, Qin Qiong and Niu Jinda, also returned to Chang'an the day before yesterday, and they were also cordially received by His Majesty Li Er, but they were not treated in the same way as Cheng Yanjin and General Wei Chi.
The gap is really too big, if the two generals knew how His Majesty Li Er treated Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde at that time, they would definitely spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Like Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chi Jingde, the two generals also opened their mouths to ask Tao Ran for meat when they came to the academy.
Of course, Tao Ran didn't dare to disobey these two famous generals at the level of the god of war, so a basin full of fat pig's trotters and pig's head meat was placed in front of the two generals as promised.
The students' moral education, physical education and labor education have all been assessed, and the aesthetic education exam is finished today, waiting for the real intellectual education exam.
Tao Ran and the two masters were very satisfied with the previous exam, and it could be said that it was a few points better than they expected.
After the exam is over and the test papers are reviewed, it is time for the students to go on vacation.
As soon as this annual vacation is over, it will be the beginning of school on the sixteenth day of the first month, and Tao Ran has a bold idea in his heart, and he is ready to personally propose it when he meets His Majesty Li Er.
After all the exams, the unexpected result was that Wei Zheng's son Wei Yi actually relied on the first place.
Prince Li Chengqian followed, and the second place was also a very remarkable achievement.
The third place was won by Tao Ran's personal disciple Pei Xingjian, who felt that he was sorry for the teacher's teaching, and went to Tao Ran's room to apologize and review. Guarantee to be the first in the test next time.
"Thrifty, no first, no second, no one dares to guarantee that they can 100% get the first place, the teacher is not so strict with you, study hard, and have a clear conscience."
Tao Ran said earnestly.
At this time, Princess Changle walked in crying, and when she entered the house, she threw herself into Tao Ran's arms, crying non-stop.
"Whoever makes Changle angry, tell the teacher, and the teacher will clean him up."
Tao Ran said comfortingly.
"Teacher, the exam paper made Changle angry, Changle didn't take the imperial brother's exam, how can he explain to his father and queen mother when he returns to the palace?"
Princess Changle responded with tears in her eyes.
"I see, no wonder Changle shed tears, it's okay, the teacher promised that Changle would be praised by His Majesty and the Queen Mother when he returned to the palace."
Tao Ran smiled and looked at Princess Changle, who was crying, and said.
"Why is the teacher so happy? Obviously Changle didn't have as good a score in the exam as the royal brother? ”
Princess Changle looked up at Tao Ran with tears in her eyes and asked.
"The teacher didn't coax Changle, Changle has indeed made great progress in the past few months, and the teacher feels that he has made much progress better than your royal brother, so the teacher is ready to give Changle the best progress award of the academy this year, which is the only one in the entire academy."
Tao Ran's words made Princess Changle burst into tears and laughed instantly.
"Teacher, is this true?"
"Of course it's true, when did the teacher ever cheat on Changle."
"The teacher is so good, Changle feels so happy······"
Princess Changle wiped the tears from her face, and her smile was better than flowers.
Therefore, in order to motivate the students in the new semester to devote themselves to learning with greater enthusiasm, Tao Ran has set up various awards for later generations, covering almost every student, and some of them can get several certificates for their excellent performance.
The students cherished this hard-won honor very much, and treasured the certificate as a treasure, and showed it to their families when they went home from vacation.
The day of the holiday has finally arrived.
"Guanyin, let's go with me today to take Chengqian and Changle back to the palace."
In the Lizheng Palace, His Majesty Li Er said to Empress Changsun.
"Okay, Jiro. It just so happened that the concubine wanted to ask for a few more tender cucumbers from the Marquis of Chang'an. ”
Empress Eldest Sun responded happily.
"Today, I am afraid that many ministers' families will go to the academy, because on the day of the holiday, parents and children have been separated for a few months, and it is inevitable that they are very worried, so this morning I also let the ministers disperse earlier than before."
His Majesty Li Er then rode straight to Nanshan Academy in a carriage with Empress Changsun.
"Chong'er, Chong'er······ Are you Chong'er? Mrs. Changsun and Changsun Wuji almost didn't dare to recognize each other when they saw Changsun Chong in front of them.
"Mother, it's me, what's wrong, has Chong'er changed?"
The eldest grandson said with a stinky fart.
"Stinky boy, how did you talk to your mother." The eldest grandson Wuji faced the eldest grandson Chong from behind, and he was the back of his head.
"Master, look at you, why are you still doing something to us. The child has indeed changed too much, not only has he become a lot stronger, but even his temperament has become more and more outstanding, and he has become a handsome boy. ”
Mrs. Eldest Sun looked at her son in admiration and said.
"Sister-in-law, this is really praising Chong'er." Empress Changsun, who had just gotten out of the carriage, couldn't help but speak when she heard Mrs. Changsun's words.
"Auntie, son-in-law see the queen's mother." The eldest grandson opened his mouth to worship smartly.
"See the Queen's ······" The eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson's wife also hurriedly saluted.
"Get up, it's all your own family, and you don't have so many complicated etiquette. Chong'er has really grown into an adult, look at this child, Erlang, you get off the carriage and take a look, Chong'er looks like the eldest brother when he was young. ”
Empress Changsun said proudly, no matter what, she is also a member of the Changsun family, and she has a special affection for the descendants of the Changsun family from the roots.
"Really? I'll take a look. After speaking, His Majesty Li Er stepped out of the carriage, if it wasn't for the Empress Changsun calling him, he didn't plan to get off the carriage, the adults gathered here were all picking up the children, and there was no one who didn't know him His Majesty Li Er, and the etiquette greetings alone were enough for him to be busy for a while.
"Sure enough, I've grown up a lot, and it's very similar to when I was young, which is good."
His Majesty Li Er said with sincere admiration.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." The eldest grandson Chong smiled happily and said respectfully.
"Father, mother. Father, mother. ”
A familiar voice that could not be more familiar sounded in the ears of His Majesty Li Er and Empress Eldest Sun.
Immediately after that, an elf-like figure galloped from the stone steps of the academy, and in just an instant, it plunged into the arms of His Majesty Li Er.
"Oh, my little princess, I'm about to lose my arms."
His Majesty Li Er happily put Princess Changle on the head of the country and spoke.
A loving smile appeared on the face of His Majesty Li Er, at this time he was a qualified father, in stark contrast to His Majesty with a stern face above the court.
The crown prince Li Chengqian looked at Princess Changle who was coquettish in his father's arms with great envy, how he wanted to play in the warm arms of his father and mother like Princess Changle.
However, all this is just imaginary after all, since his father announced that he was canonized as the crown prince, he has unlimited responsibility and hope, reality does not allow him to be coquettish, only allows him to become more and more calm and stronger.
This is the gap between the prince and the princess.
"The sons see the father and the emperor, and the queen mother."
After His Majesty Li Er put Princess Changle on the ground reluctantly, Shi Li spoke.
"Chengqian has also changed a lot, he is more mature and stable, and he walks back to the palace." His Majesty Li Er looked at his two children and said happily.
"Father, mother, this is Changle's exam results this year, and this is a certificate. This one is the only one in the entire academy and is awarded for Best Progress. ”
Changle on the carriage was like a happy bird, and his mouth kept chattering and singing.
The emotions in the carriage of the entire carriage were infected by the joy of Changle.
The smile has been rippling on the faces of His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun, Empress Changsun took the certificate in Changle's hand, and almost shed tears of joy, the progress of children is the greatest wish of parents, and it has not changed since ancient times.
"Father, are you looking for someone?" Wei Yi walked down from the academy and came to Wei Zheng, who had been stopping and looking, and spoke.
"Yi'er, you've grown so tall, my father almost didn't dare to recognize you."
Wei Zheng touched Wei Yi's head lovingly, and replied kindly.
The students of Chang'an City were pulled away by the carriages one after another, and the three hundred students from other places above the college looked at the lively and warm scene at the foot of the mountain, and they were inevitably sad and sad.
Some of their families are thousands of miles away, and the nearest is hundreds of miles, and if they return home, I'm afraid that time will be wasted on the journey back and forth.
Tao Ran certainly did not forget these children who could not go home, and he decided to let these children have the most meaningful and unforgettable Spring Festival in this life.
So his students in Chang'an City made all preparations before they went home.
