Huang Zhifu never dreamed that he had already dodged in advance, and even mixed into the ordinary carriages and horses with two entourages, and he would actually be discovered by the most arrogant and domineering daughter in the legendary capital. He wanted to pretend that he didn't know who the other party was calling, but the two attendants beside him immediately raised their heads as if they had heard the holy decree.

So, he could only stubbornly raise his head, and then forcibly squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying. He forgot that he hadn't slept well all night, and coupled with the fatigue of traveling during the day, his haggard face was now more and more withered, although it didn't look like a skeleton, but in Zhu Ying's opinion, it looked even more suspicious.

After looking up and down, left and right for a while, Miss Zhu frowned and said, "You know me?" ”

Huang Zhifu's heart jumped, and then he hurriedly shook his head into a rattle: "No...... I don't know! ”

"Why are you hiding from me if you don't know me?" Zhu Ying narrowed her eyes, and her suspicion was even worse for a while, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, I see that you have a ghost in your heart, either a traitor or a thief!" Come on, give me the three of them to look at first, and when I arrive in the capital, I will escort them to the Shuntian Mansion and pair them with those sea fishing documents to see if they are wanted criminals! ”

Seeing this scene, Zhang Shou, who couldn't cry or laugh, had to stand up and stop: "Yingying, people just don't know how to face you." That's Hejian Huang Governor's Mansion, not some suspicious person! ”

When Zhu Ying heard the five words of Hejian Huang Governor's Mansion, she couldn't help frowning, and asked suspiciously: "Who is Hejian Huang Governor's Mansion?" I don't know him, what did he see me hiding? Am I the Flood Beast? The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, staring at people up and down, left and right, but she was at a loss.

Seeing that Zhu Ying didn't even think of her origin when she heard her, Huang Zhifu suddenly regretted that her intestines were blue. If he had known that Zhu Ying had such a bad memory, why would he hide, wouldn't he just pretend to be an irrelevant person in the back? At this moment, he only hopes that whether it is Zhang Shou or Ge Yong, don't explain more, just let yourself mix it up first.

Finally, his wish came true, only to see Zhang Shou laugh and say: "Yingying, forget it, it's not a big deal." ”

Ge Yong naturally didn't bother to remind Zhu Ying that someone else's son was kicked down from the mountain by you - anyway, he was hearsay. He coughed angrily and directly diverted the topic: "Xiao Yingying, I heard that you were bold before, and you scolded the old man Jiang who was still the first assistant in public on the Tianxia Taiping Building on Qipan Street, and was also grounded at home by your father?" ”

Governor Huang arrived at Tongzhou Luhe Station yesterday and learned that the first assistant Jiang Pavilion had suddenly become the former first assistant, and when he heard Ge Yong's words, he gasped. It's already terrible to casually bully his stupid son's daughter, but now this fierce one even dares to scold Shousuke?

"Who said I was grounded?"

Zhu Ying directly frowned, and protested unconvinced: "I had a quarrel with those nonsense scholars in the Taiping Tower of the World before, and I scolded Old Man Jiang, even if Old Man Jiang is here, I dare to scold him!" But Grandpa Ge, don't slander my father, I was angry with those guys before, and my father even invited me to be a doctor, and he said that he was incompatible with Old Man Jiang! ”

"My father is the most protective of me and my eldest brother and second brother, Old Man Jiang first instructed people to frame him and his eldest brother, and now he is hacking his eldest brother and Ah Shou, how can I bear it! Besides, that stubborn, old-fashioned thing should have stepped down a long time ago! Hmph, no matter what, I scolded him from the current Shousuke to the former Shousuke! ”

Only then did Zhang Shou know that Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing actually put such cruel words after Zhu Ying made such a scene-maybe there are other corresponding means as a follow-up, it is really worthy of having a father and a daughter. However, when he saw the dodging Huang Zhifu over there, his face was full of earth, and he knew that people were indeed frightened.

Just when Huang Zhifu's heart was like a deer, he hesitated, and he wanted to leave but didn't dare to go, but Zhu Ying suddenly sighed: "I remember who Huang Zhifu is in Hejian!" Okay, it's you who raised that open-mouthed, unresponsible, but narrow-minded enough to make waves in Cangzhou! ”

Zhang Shou saw that Huang Zhifu was so shocked that he was about to fall off the horse, so he "kindly" persuaded him: "Yingying, the son is the son, the father is the father, how can it be mixed up?" Besides, last night, Governor Huang had sincerely apologized for raising such a son, and he was also heartbroken, so don't criticize him. ”

Zhu Ying glanced over a little suspiciously: "Oh, Ah Shou, you mean, he still knows how to repent?" ”

Huang Zhifu hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the lower officials are deeply repentant, deeply repentant!" ”

Ge Yong lifted the curtain and looked at it, and saw that Huang Zhifu was so moved by Zhang Shou's intercession that he was suddenly angry and funny: "He couldn't wait to confess even a little thing yesterday, and he can change his mistakes, so don't let go of other people's fathers because of his son's sins." Who's that...... Huang Xian, you go to the city first, this large number of people have blocked the road! ”

Huang Xian, who was already sitting on pins and needles, couldn't wait for this sentence, but at this time, he only felt that the teachers and students of the Ge family were really good in the prime minister's belly. He hurriedly bowed on his horse, and said gratefully: "Thank you Taishi Ge for your tolerance, thank you Dr. Zhang for your generosity, Xia Guan will definitely discipline his son in the future and let him change his mind...... The lower official retired first! ”

Seeing that Huang Zhifu fled with two entourages as if he was frightened, Zhang Shou saw that Zhu Ying was still staring at the backs of others, so he smiled and said: "The teacher was right just now, he even revealed how he had such a rich net worth in public last night, but he is an interesting person......"

Hearing Zhang Shou roughly talk about the words and deeds of Governor Huang when he visited last night, Zhu Ying was suddenly a little surprised. She saw that the carriage where Zhang Shou and Ge Yong were was very spacious, so she simply rode her horse closer, and saw that Ah Liu, who was driving, gave up a little position very knowingly, so she smiled at the young man, and then jumped off the horse lightly and skillfully, and got into the car directly.

Asked with great interest what had happened, and she was amazed: "How did that stupid guy teach me, it turned out that his parents took money and piled it up!" I broke my penny in half and spent it, but I desperately stuffed money for my son, which really makes people not know what to say...... Although my father and grandmother pampered me, they didn't suffer from themselves! ”

Ge Yong was immediately amused: "You still compare yourself to that stupid boy?" ”

"I'm just making an analogy, Grandpa Ge, you like to catch me talking!" Zhu Ying was suddenly a little annoyed and angry, "Besides, even if what the prefect surnamed Huang said is true, he can't be an official, and his wife can't keep the property he has earned so hard for so many years!" He didn't want to think about it, even if the official was big and his son didn't teach him well, it would be all in vain! ”

As she spoke, she said proudly: "Just like Old Man Jiang raised such a pit master's grandson, even if he is famous for another lifetime, it will be ruined!" What's more, the prefect surnamed Huang is the same as Old Man Jiang, and he can't talk about how wise he is! As a father, you have to learn from my family and Aunt Wu, and see how well they teach my eldest brother and Ah Shou! "Well, she won't speak ill of the emperor behind her back......

"Ahem...... Ahem, ahem! This time, Zhang Shou, who was laughing and chanting as a bystander, was finally choked and coughed. He really didn't expect that after lamenting the Huang family's tutoring problem, Zhu Ying would actually take him and Zhu Tingfang out as positive examples.

And hearing this, Ge Yong couldn't help but join in the fun and said: "Your eldest brother doesn't need to say, looking at the civil and military officials in the capital, no one dares to say that he is not excellent, and in the future, he will be better than the blue, and your father may not be able to compare with him." As for Zhang Shou? ”

He glanced at Zhang Shou, and then said with some disgust, "This kid is too wicked, don't count!" Without waiting for Zhu Ying to be angry, he added earnestly, "I'm not scolding him, I'm praising him!" Even if your eldest brother is both civil and military, it is still in the category of genius, but your precious fiancé, everything he knows is impossible for others! ”

Even my old man can't, is that like a word?

Only then did Zhu Ying turn her anger into joy, and nodded again and again: "Grandpa Ge, you are also reasonable, Ah Shou is really powerful in some places, even my grandmother and my father and mother say so!" So, I have a good eye, and the first time I saw him, I thought he was extraordinary! ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect that he was not only innocently involved, but also lying down because of Ge Yong's three-word comments, and helplessly clasped his palms together and said: "Teacher, I'm just an ordinary man, please let it go?" Yingying's eldest brother is someone else's child, and he is the person who is brought out as a role model when other people's families educate their children and grandchildren, as for me, I am still far from Brother Zhu's standard. ”

"Huh." Ge Yong laughed meaninglessly, and then said casually, "All in all, the most fortunate thing is that Yingying's father gave birth to a good son, not to mention, and picked up a good son-in-law, and now even his little son, who is so disgusted, has hope of reversing it." I don't know how many people are envying him now. ”

Outside the carriage, Lu Sanlang, who had just finally turned his horse to keep up with the carriage, finally found an opportunity to interject, and hurriedly said with a smile: "What Patriarch Ge said is that my father is more envious of Zhao Guogong, and he always says that he only hates that he doesn't have a daughter, otherwise he can have such a capable son-in-law as Mr. Xiao......"

Before he finished speaking, he was smashed back in his head by Zhang Shou's direct words: "Yes, yes, your father has a son like you who often eats and crawls out to sell him, of course he wants to have a daughter who is as intimate as a cotton jacket!" ”

Ge Yong likes such an apprentice as a little fat man, firstly, he never thought that Lu Sanlang, who is not only a gentleman, but also such a tonnage, is quite talented in arithmetic, this is actually the youngest of his outstanding apprentices, and secondly, Lu Sanlang has a sweet mouth and can speak, which is much better than his protégé disciples who are either not smiling or busy being officials.

Therefore, when he saw Lu Sanlang's sneering, he opened his mouth and quipped: "The little fat man of the Lu family, don't be a sycophant, your little gentleman is not in these days, you are in charge of Jiuzhangtang, is it still smooth?" ”

"Needless to say, I'm not a vegetarian!" Lu Sanlang held his head high, and the smugness was simply beyond words, "In addition to the internship sent to Wang Datou, there are also a group of people who were appointed by the emperor to go to the household department and Guanglu Temple to audit the accounts, and the others have already learned the solid geometry and trigonometric functions in the "New Edition of Ge's Arithmetic......"

Hearing Lu Sanlang put the words "Ge's Arithmetic New Edition" on his lips with high spirits, Ge Yong's smile suddenly froze on his face. He glanced sideways, but saw Zhang Shou listening to Lu Sanlang talking about the teaching progress - in fact, it should be said that it was self-learning progress, and at the same time he also mentioned it from time to time, and even the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

As if he didn't see the teacher's stiff expression, Zhang Shou said earnestly: "The New Edition of Ge's Arithmetic is the teacher's painstaking efforts for many years, and it is a textbook compiled by absorbing the strengths of arithmetic classics such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and extracting the essence from Western arithmetic......

Although he wanted to endure it, Ge Yong finally couldn't help hearing Zhang Shou talk about the importance of the textbook, and even proclaim that a new book would be printed soon—in fact, the two manuscripts he was studying.

He raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Zhang Shou, you are Dr. Guozi who is in charge of Jiuzhangtang, you have been out of business for a few months before, and now after you come back, you should take those students with you, how can there be a teacher who allows students to study by themselves all day long?" ”

Zhang Shou was already used to the teacher's nitpicking, so he said with a smile at this time: "The teacher's words are not right." Nowadays, whether it is Guozijian or the academies, don't they all have less time for lectures and more time for self-study? For example, in the Jiuzhang Hall and the Mid-Levels Hall, it is rare for me to give lectures every day before yesterday. Students complement each other, and this is the most common. ”

Seeing that Ge Yong was immediately dumbfounded, of course Zhang Shou would not continue to chase and fight, accusing the education model that was actually very unreliable in these years, but said casually: "Now that the Banshan Hall is divided, each hall has someone to supervise, and I can't take care of it alone. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shou pointed to the carriage behind him and said to Lu Sanlang: "No accident, the two students I brought back from Cangzhou will enter the second phase of Jiuzhangtang next." At that time, you will be a senior, and you can point more fingers at them if you have nothing to do. ”

Suddenly promoted from Zhai Chang to a senior, Lu Sanlang's eyebrows danced. He immediately put on a senior style, and said solemnly and dignifiedly: "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, my senior will definitely help the juniors!" ”

After saying this, Lu Sanlang immediately turned his horse and hurried back, this time his posture was indescribably flexible. As soon as he left, Zhu Ying suddenly burst out laughing, and couldn't help but think of Lu Sanlang's stunned appearance of her father Zhu Jing a few days ago, and thought of his unexpected little master.

As an envoy, it is supposed to wait at the post station outside the capital, but Ge Yong has already obtained the emperor's will, and after returning to Beijing, he will enter the palace to face the saint, so naturally he will bring Zhang Shou, a student, and Zhu Ying will simply follow along. After entering Chaoyang Gate and returning to the noisy and lively capital, the group went straight to Dong'anmen from Dengshikou Hutong, but saw that Chu Kuan had been waiting here in person early.

As soon as he looked at him, the celebrant said with a smile: "Old Master Ge and Dr. Zhang are back!" The emperor is taking the third prince and the fourth prince in Banzai Mountain. Please move the two of you, Mrs. Ge, the emperor has given you a special shoulder. ”
