"Hey, there's guests coming, and there's a cute little sister."

Princess Changle couldn't hide the joy in her heart, and said with a sweet smile on her face.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, this old man brought this little lady to find Master Li."

Ma Zhou replied gently.

Her Royal Highness the Princess, when the old man and the little girl heard this, their faces immediately changed greatly.

Qi Qi respectfully saluted Changle.

"Since I'm here to find Master Li, senior brother, let's bring someone over, it's too cold, I'll go back to the classroom to bake the fire, Miss Wen'er said that today's lunch will be late."

After speaking, Princess Changle ran happily towards the classroom.

Nowadays, every classroom is equipped with no less than three stoves, one in the front, one in the front, one in the front, one in the front, one in the front, one in the

Therefore, the students will not feel particularly cold when they go out, this is the warmest winter they have ever lived.

But their parents are worried about them at this moment.

In the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun and His Majesty Li Er sat in front of the stove presented by Tao Ran, feeling the warmth of the stove.

"Erlang, I don't know how Qian'er and Changle are doing now? The concubines are really worried about them, especially Changle, who is the most afraid of the cold, every winter she will lie in the bed and not get up, how is it good to be in the academy now? ”

Empress Eldest Sun said without worry.

"Guanyin's worries are also what I am concerned about, but I think that the Marquis of Chang'an will take care of Chengqian and Changle. If you really miss it tightly, you can ask Manager Yang to take you to visit it to relieve the pain of your longing. ”

His Majesty Li Er said with a pleasant face.

"The concubine doesn't want to be that special person, Nanshan College has a rule that parents are not allowed to visit at will after the start of school, just to let the students concentrate on their studies. Last time, Chang'an Hou told Erlang Chengqian and Changle that they are now good at learning and succeeding, and the concubines have not slept well for a few nights. ”

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she spoke.

"Guanyin's thoughts, I fully understand, I am not happy for a few nights and nights and it is difficult to sleep. The children have made progress and achievements, and when they grow up, they can solve problems for us and take on greater responsibilities and burdens. ”

His Majesty Li Er held the hand of Empress Changsun and said gently.

"This Chang'anhou is also magically big enough, our Qingque has now worshiped Chang'anhou as a teacher, Chang'anhou promised on the spot to stay until the beginning of next year's school year, and personally came to pick up Qingque to the academy, and our Qingque almost jumped up with joy."

Empress Changsun remembered the scene at that time, and still couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Less than a year after the birth of the Marquis of Chang'an, he has solved a lot of problems and troubles for me, and I had the heart to raise the reward for him again, but he politely refused. In Chang'anhou's own words, he is still young, and now he is enough to make a big move, and it is not too late to reward Nanshan Academy when it achieves results and his students have made achievements. What a good boy who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows how to endure. ”

His Majesty Li Er sighed with emotion.

"Master Li, there are guests visiting."

Ma Zhou said politely at the door.

"Oh, where are the guests?" Li Gang, who was reading a book, got up and walked out suspiciously.

"Who are you?" Li Gang asked the old man and the little girl beside him.

"The master of the house is the governor of Lizhou, this is the second lady Wu Cao, after receiving the letter from the master, the head of the family specially asked the next person to bring the second lady to join the master, this is the handwriting of the head of the family."

After the old man finished speaking, he handed a letter to Master Li Gang.

"Hua Gu has seen Taishi Li." The little girl said cleverly to Li Gangshi.

"Come inside, it's warm." Li Gang saw Wu Cao's red face, and said distressedly.

Sure enough, the temperature inside the house and the temperature outside the house are literally two worlds.

After Li Gang finished reading the letter, the old man and Wu Cao's bodies also warmed up.

"Ma Zhou told the kitchen, add two more people to my lunch here." Li Gang explained to Ma Zhou, who turned around and wanted to leave.

"Okay, Master, the student knows."

When Ma Zhou heard this, he immediately replied cheerfully.

"Aunt Hua, your father and I are world friends. At the beginning, I told him in the letter to let his children come over when school started next fall, but I didn't expect your father to be so anxious that he let you brave this cold winter to come to Chang'an. ”

Li Gang said with a sigh.

"Taishi, it's not my father who is anxious. It was Hua Gu who was anxious, Hua Gu heard what her father said, the bits and pieces of Nanshan College, Hua Gu couldn't sleep and eat, so her father sent a housekeeper to send Hua Gu to Nanshan College. ”

The little girl replied with a pair of divine Danfeng eyes.

"What your father said in his letter is that Hua Gu has been very intelligent since she was a child, and it seems that what she said is true. However, the rules of the college are not to accept transfer students, and the old man can't change this matter, so there is nothing he can do. ”

Master Li Gang replied truthfully.

"In this way, do I still want to take the second lady back to Lizhou?"

The old man asked in a slightly anxious manner.

"Don't worry, after lunch, it's not too late for the old man to ask Chang An Hou if he is making a decision, I hope Chang An Hou can give the old man a few thin noodles."

Master Li Gang's words made the old man and the little girl's mood immediately fall.

"Teacher, is today's lunch ready, will it be delivered to your room?"

Ma Zhou said respectfully at Tao Ran's door.

"Beckon the two masters to come together, just to discuss the future teaching courses."

Tao Ran replied when he heard this.

"Teacher, Master Li is a guest, and I will enjoy lunch in his room today, I'm afraid I won't be able to come."

Ma Zhou replied truthfully.

"With such a heavy snowfall, Taishi Li still has guests coming? Do you know where the guests are coming from? What guests? ”

Tao Ran asked curiously.

"The students heard that the old man said that they came from Lizhou, the head of the family was the Governor of Lizhou, and the old man came to join Master Li with his second daughter Hua Gu."

"What?" When Tao Ran heard this, he immediately jumped up like an electric shock.

The news shocked him so much.

If the current governor of Lizhou is a samurai, there is no doubt that he is a samurai who married Yang Da's daughter.

And the second daughter Hua Gu in Ma Zhou's mouth must be the empress Wu Zetian Wu Cao of the generation in history.

Such a big man who stirred up the Tang Dynasty was born in Nanshan Academy, which Tao Ran never dreamed of.

"Teacher, are you alright?"

Ma Zhou looked at the stunned Tao Ran and said in surprise, in Ma Zhou's impression, no matter when, the teacher is a breezy look, like this, Ma Zhou is the first time to see it.

"The teacher is fine."

Tao Ran, who realized that he was out of shape, immediately opened his mouth to respond.

"In that case, let's send the teacher's lunch to Mrs. Li's house, as the dean, the teacher should accompany the guests who come from afar."

Tao Ran instantly made his own decision.

"Okay, teacher. The student got it. ”

After Ma Zhou left, Tao Ran paced back and forth in his house for a long time.

After careful consideration, Tao Ran resolutely pushed open the door and walked into Li Gang's room.

"Master Li, there are distinguished guests visiting, why don't you know that the juniors will say a word, so that the kitchen can prepare wine and good dishes."

Tao Ran entered the door and said with a smile. At the same time, he secretly looked at the little girl on the side.

"Hou Ye said with a smile, it's not a distinguished guest, the second lady of the old man's world friend Lizhou Governor Wu Shiyan intends to come to our college to study, the old man is about to go to Hou Ye to discuss this matter after lunch, I never thought that Hou Ye would come in person."

Master Li Gang said and gave the little girl beside him a gesture with his eyes.

Wu Zetian was a smart girl with ice and snow, and immediately understood the meaning in Taishi Li's eyes.

"Student Wu Cao, I have seen the teacher. Invite the teacher to tea. ”

After speaking, Wu Cao held the steaming teacup on the table in his hand, if Tao Ran took the teacup and drank this tea, it would prove that Tao Ran accepted her as a student, and vice versa.

Tao Ran looked at the little girl who stirred up the Tang Dynasty in the future, and reached out to take the teacup.

"To worship me as a teacher, you must promise me three conditions, if you can do it, I will drink this tea." Tao Ran looked at Wu Cao and said.

"As long as the teacher is willing to accept Hua Gu, let alone three conditions, what does it matter if there are thirty."

The little girl's crisp voice sounded in Tao Ran's ears.

"Well, the first condition is to know how to respect the teacher, and never betray the teacher's teachings at any time."

"Well, Hua Gu remembered."

The little girl nodded vigorously and said, this condition is not difficult, and it is also what you should do and abide by as a student.

"The second condition is that you must have good thoughts in your heart, and at no time shall you harm the innocent and do anything that is contrary to your conscience."

"Well, Hua Gu remembered."

The little girl nodded vigorously again in reply. This second condition is still not difficult to follow, I don't know why the teacher would take these simple conditions that can't be simpler, so solemnly demand himself.

"The third condition, the teacher hasn't remembered yet, but whenever the teacher remembers, you can't refuse the teacher's request."

Tao Ran solemnly looked at the little girl and said.

"Hua Gu, agree to the teacher's conditions, no matter when and where, never refuse the teacher's request."

The little girl looked at Tao Ran, blinked a pair of Danfeng eyes and replied.

"Okay, so the teacher should drink this cup."

Tao Ran raised his head and drank the tea handed over by Wu Cong.

"Okay, congratulations, congratulations!"

Li Gang smiled and said that he had finally lived up to his old friend's expectations.

At this time, the pig's head and pig's trotters stewed in the kitchen were brought in, as well as a large bowl of chicken soup.

Immediately, the whole room was filled with the smell of meat, which tempted the mouth.

"Hungry, huh? Hurry up and eat it hot. ”

Tao Ran smiled and put a hot pig's trotter into the bowl in front of Wu Cong.

The pig's trotters are stewed, Li Gang and Kong Yingda's teeth are no problem, and for Wu Cong, gnawing on the pig's trotters should also be a piece of cake.

Sure enough, Wu Cong, who was attracted by the smell of incense, said, "Thank you, teacher." He grabbed the pig's trotters and gnawed them.

As soon as she took a bite of the pig's trotters, Wu Cong's little face became wonderful, and the taste she had never experienced rolled in her mouth, making her want to stop.

After gnawing on a pig's trotter in one go, Wu Cong wiped his oily little mouth with his oily little hands, and said with a red face.

"Teacher, Hua Gu still wants to have one."

Tao Ran and Li Gang couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard this.

Tao Ran stopped Wu Cong's explosive food and drink, and gave her a bowl of chicken soup and spoke.

"You are still young, don't overeat, too much greasy food is not good for your health. It's not that the teacher feels sorry for the pig's trotters you eat, but the teacher feels sorry for your stomach. ”

Tao Ran smiled and put the chicken soup in front of Wu Cong.

"Drink a bowl of chicken soup and be careful of scalding."

"Thank you, teacher, Aunt Hua knows."

Wu Cong nodded obediently and replied.

After a bowl of chicken soup, Wu Cong's little face was covered with fine beads of sweat.

His face became more and more flushed.

"Teacher, when can the students go to class, I met Her Royal Highness the Princess when I just came to the academy, do the students want to go to school with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Wu Cong, who was full of food and drink, looked at Tao Ran and asked.

"The teacher was about to tell you about it, and since you opened your mouth, the teacher told you that you need to start school next fall to enter the classroom. During this time, you will be with the teacher, and the teacher will teach you personally. Nanshan College does not allow this rule of transfer students, the teacher does not want to be changed, I hope you can understand the teacher's intentions in the future. ”

Tao Ran replied truthfully.

"Aunt Hua doesn't care if she goes to class or not, as long as there is a teacher to teach her."

Wu Cong obediently blinked a pair of Danfeng eyes and replied.

"It's so good, Hua Gu is well-behaved and sensible, and she will become a great tool in the future."

Tao Ran said with sincere admiration.

"Teacher, it's so good here, the food is more delicious than our governor's mansion, and the room is warmer than our Lizhou, which is completely different from what my father said about Chang'an."

Wu Cong was slightly surprised and said excitedly.

"These are the credits of your teacher, look at this paper, look at the quills, they are all made by your teacher himself, and this stove and this burning coal, which is the food we just eat, are all the credit of your teacher."

Master Li Gang replied truthfully with a smile.

Wu Lu's little eyes brightened more and more, having such a capable and talented master was exactly what she dreamed of.

Tao Ran called Princess Changle and the eldest girl and introduced Wu Cong to them, after all, they would have to stay in the same room in the future.

"In the future, you have to take care of her like a sister, you two are big sisters."

Tao Ran smiled and admonished.

"Teacher, don't worry, hand it over to Changle to ensure that there is no problem."

Princess Changle said with her big beautiful eyes, and then took Wu Cong's little hand and left Master Li Gang's room.

"In this way, I will explain to the governor when I go back next time, and I thank the master here, and thank the Hou Ye for taking in the second miss."

The old man stood up and bowed his hand and said.

"Don't be in a hurry to return, wait for the snow to melt in a few days before leaving, otherwise not only will the people be tired, but the horses will not be able to stand it."

Tao Ran said thoughtfully.

One sentence moved the old man beyond measure. "This ...... Good. In the future, I will bother Hou Ye for a few more days, and then return to Lizhou when the snow melts a little. ”

The old man said gratefully.
