When Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying returned to the third prince and the fourth prince hand in hand, Hua Qi glanced around from elsewhere, with a calm expression on his face, and he didn't bother to debunk the corner where this kid had just sneaked over to listen, and at the same time, in order to warn others of approaching eavesdropping, he stepped forward with a smile.

With his ear power, the words of the two just now were naturally in his ears - of course, he knew that neither Zhu Ying nor Zhang Shou cared about him eavesdropping, otherwise he would not have whispered on this Long Live Mountain, so at this time he did not pretend that he didn't know anything, but said bluntly: "Listening to the tone of Shou Gongzi just now, is he planning to follow the eldest prince and get married in November?" ”

"Well, if you wait any longer, you may have a lot of dreams." Zhang Shou smiled, and when he saw the four big eyes of the third prince and the fourth prince staring at him in unison, he smiled and said, "What, Zheng Rong, Zheng Qi, are you two opposed?" ”

"No, no, no!" The third prince quickly shook his head into a rattle. And he hesitated and was embarrassed to speak, but the fourth prince hurriedly asked: "But didn't the teacher say that he would marry after Sister Yingying and her eldest brother?" Sister Yingying, her eldest brother hasn't decided to marry yet! ”

Finding that her eldest brother's marriage had become a topic that even children knew, Zhu Ying was suddenly a little annoyed and angry, and directly played the fourth prince with a brain meltdown. Seeing him glaring at her aggrievedly, she said angrily: "Be careful, my eldest brother knows that you two boys dare to chew his tongue, and I want you to look good!" You're just waiting for November to go to the Joy Bar! ”

The third prince is not more impulsive than the fourth prince, seeing that his stupid fourth brother still wants to ask, he quickly pulled the person behind him, and then nodded sincerely: "Brother Zhu is both civil and military, and his merits are brilliant, he will definitely marry a virtuous wife, just like a teacher marries Sister Yingying!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying suddenly smiled, and Zhang Shou was also in a good mood, the third prince cautiously asked about Zhang Shou's talk about foreign history. Zhang Shou didn't expect that he just said it casually, but it turned out to be remembered by the third prince, and he secretly sighed that he couldn't make a wish casually to the child, and immediately coughed.

"As soon as the word is spoken, it is difficult to chase the horse, as long as the emperor allows it, this matter is naturally not a problem. It's just that, as far as I said before, maybe someone will soon say that I am talking nonsense, and when I talk about it later, there may be more things that are very different from my country, and there is a great possibility of breaking the taboo, so I have to ask for advice. ”

As soon as the words fell, the fourth prince hurriedly said, "Don't you just want your father to agree?" The teacher can rest assured that it will be handed over to me and the third brother, and we will go and say together, it will definitely be possible! Father has always said, teacher, you are a talent, and said that Sister Yingying has a good eye! ”

This fart finally hit Zhu Ying's itch. She smiled with her eyebrows, seeing that the third prince was dragged away by the fourth prince before he could say anything, and Hua Qi was a group of guards hurriedly followed, bowed slightly, and quietly disappeared, she couldn't help but say with some chagrin: "Uncle Hua is so elusive, even in the palace." ”

That's because he is nominally a member of your family, but in fact a person from the emperor...... Wait, in the future, it will be his family in name! With such an understanding, Zhang Shou thought of such an elusive trouble in his family, and then thought that the group of little guys in the family seemed to be training more and more well, so he couldn't complain.

Seeing that Ah Liuzheng was leaning against a tree not far away with no sense of existence, Zhang Shou simply beckoned people to come over, and then said in a natural tone: "Ah Liu, Yingying will definitely bring some people to marry in the future, but you are still in charge of the family." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled at Zhu Ying and said, "Yingying, today I want to reintroduce you, this is Zhang Yuan's housekeeper, Ah Liu." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Ying's eyes couldn't help but widen. She came and went Zhang Yuan, not only could she name everyone she had met, but she also knew everyone's personality, but she almost never paid attention to who Zhang Yuan's housekeeper was. She walked briskly and directly circled Ah Liu, and when she saw the young man trying to maintain a calm expression, she suddenly burst out laughing.

"Ah Liu is actually a housekeeper...... Oops, that's a perfect fit! Seeing that Ah Liu was a little nervous at first, after hearing her words, her eyes suddenly showed a little smugness, she took a step back, touched her smooth chin and said, "You have prestige and more powerful martial arts, you really should be this housekeeper!" Well, Zhu Hong will marry me when I go back, and a few of them are also under your control! ”

One sentence laid the fate of Zhu Hong and others, and she said thoughtfully: "Grandmother said, let Mother Li come with me to take care of it for a while, and the inner courtyard will ask her to help my mother. I asked my mother to personally pick a few honest and honest ones, so that I don't have to ...... them."

Zhang Shou was almost amused by Zhu Ying: "Yingying, don't talk so much that Ah Liu seems to start fighting without saying a word!" ”

"Of course you should fight if it's not good, some people don't have a long memory! Don't look at my house, I don't know how many people have been cleaned up before! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying said with a twinkle in her eyes: "Ah Shou, I plan to recruit all the children of the capital nobles who have been to Rongshui Village before and learned from you, what do you think?" Zhang Chen, they can all take charge of their own mess now, it's still too early for your Jiuzhang Hall people to use it, these people with different family backgrounds, it's a pity to put them in Banshan Hall like this. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou was slightly stunned, she smiled and said, "Anyway, you recruited them for me at the beginning, so now I'm going to really recruit them?" Be your ruler well, and I'll take care of the rest!" ”

Such a proactive Zhu Ying, Zhang Shou is the first time to see her. And he experienced the high fighting spirit from her, where did he not know that Zhu Ying had begun to change her thinking and changed herself from the eldest lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion to the future hostess of Zhang Yuan?

To say that he was not touched at all, of course it was impossible, but to encourage Zhu Ying, he was afraid that the eldest lady would be too energetic and cause an accident, but if he poured cold water on Zhu Ying, then he would be too unconscionable.

So, he could only squint at Ah Liu: "Ah Liu, remember it in the future, listen to Yingying." ”

Ah Liu nodded heavily without thinking: "Well, I listen to the eldest lady for everything." He paused for a moment and added, "It's okay to kill people and set fires." ”

Zhang Shou was almost choked to death by Ah Liu's natural tone, but he didn't expect Zhu Ying to immediately smile and say: "I am relieved to have Ah Liu, I am a person who can clearly distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, good people have to live a long life, and disasters must be eradicated, I need people like you the most, but Uncle Hua never listened to me before!" Come, I'll tell you ......."

Seeing Zhu Ying beckoning to Ah Liu, Ah Liu immediately stepped forward very obediently, and then the two of them immediately went to the side and muttered, but instead left themselves, Zhang Shou couldn't help but be speechless for a while. But before he took a step over, he saw Zhu Ying raise his head vigilantly.

"Ah Shou, don't come here, you are a bamboo gentleman of the light wind and moon, it's best not to listen to these conspiracies!"

Zhang Shou was simply amused by Zhu Ying's tone, but what he didn't expect was that Ah Liu actually coughed in a matter-of-fact manner: "Young master, don't worry about it, just leave those secret things to me, I can't do anything else, I'm good at killing people and setting fires." ”

If your words get out, shouldn't others treat you as a Jiangyang thief and a lone killer? He smiled angrily, but in the end he stepped forward directly, rubbed Ah Liu's head vigorously, and then looked at Zhu Ying with a straight face and said, "Yingying, are you the first day you met me?" I've been a fool! ”

"But Ah Shou, you give people the impression that he is an extraordinary, handsome and elegant bamboo gentleman, who never gets involved in conspiracy and trickery, I am here to protect your image." Zhu Ying blinked playfully, until Zhang Shou glared at her, she quickly gave in and said, "Okay, then you listen, don't speak, I'll come out of the idea, and if you do it, you can go in the left ear and out the right ear, when you don't hear it!" ”

The helpless Zhang Shou listened to Zhu Ying and counted the meager income of the rocking chair with his fingers at Ah Liu, calculating what to do with those young nobles who had no family background but no help, calculating that there were potential industries in the capital that could be involved in the background and calculating the expenses of each month in the future...... Even calculating the money he would need to raise a child in the future, he finally laughed.

If those who ridiculed Zhu Ying's gorgeous and vulgar saw that this girl was so cheap now, would they gloat that who made her fall in love with him, a poor boy in the countryside who was raised by her father-in-law since she was a child?

At the same time, the emperor was originally sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai Palace in the Qianqing Palace, but when his two young sons rushed in one after the other, and said what Zhang Shou said before after saluting, he was stunned. He originally wanted to pinch it a little, but who knew that the fourth prince immediately ran behind him and pinched his shoulder as if flattering.

"Father, if the teacher talks about the things of the past dynasties, those old men in the court, and those old gentlemen outside may talk nonsense, but since it is those things in foreign countries, it doesn't matter, right?"

The fourth prince used some strength as he spoke, hoping that this would make his father comfortable, and then he would be able to get his wish. But the third prince who was standing in front of the emperor had a very strange face at this time, because he saw that although the fourth prince kneaded very vigorously, the emperor's face did not move at all, as if the strength of the fourth prince pinching his shoulders was just tickling.

couldn't see his father's joy and anger, and the honest third prince could only whisper: "Father, if it doesn't work, it's good to let the teacher talk about it in a small area." People say that it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, from ancient times to the present, those history books talk about foreign countries, all of them are some strange legends, it doesn't look like real people and real things, it's really not as good as the teacher's story......"

The more the emperor listened, the more he felt that it was not a taste in his heart. Don't you know that Zhang Shou spoke well, and he also relied on the huge foreign database of the Ordnance Bureau? However, it is already very difficult to find suitable things among the many foreign historical materials of the Ordnance Bureau, and even more difficult are the details revealed in Zhang Shou's lectures.

To say that in the years when Zhang Shou grew up in the countryside, there was really no famous teacher to teach, so he was so self-taught, he said that he wouldn't believe anything now! However, Ge Yong also swore an oath, claiming that he regularly gave Zhang Shou correspondence teaching - a letter every month quietly brought to the past to preach and teach and solve doubts, and insisted that he was a real teacher. He would be a fool if he could no longer see Ge Yong's intention to defend it.

Zhang Shou should have a teacher who has traveled overseas, has a broad vision, and has also learned the arithmetic system of foreign countries!

I wanted to think so, but I found that the four princes behind him had no strength and were still working hard, and the third prince had already stammered, but he was still racking his brains to persuade himself to agree, and the emperor suddenly couldn't help but sigh: "Today, Zhang Shou and Yingying took the two of you to Wansui Mountain, and when I sent someone to follow from afar to report that scene, do you know what I was thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking, Zhang Shou and Yingying don't look much older than you, but the way you walk together, you look like young parents and young sons." Sensing that the two hands of the four princes behind him suddenly stopped, and the third prince also looked extremely surprised, the emperor smiled and patted the armrest, trying to drive away the embarrassment caused by saying the wrong thing.

"From ancient times to the present, there has probably never been a teacher as young as Zhang Shou, so his class is naturally different from those old masters. But I can't be biased for him, the horizontal and vertical prayer feast is about to open, so let's just leave it at that, go back and send someone to tell Zhang Shou, let him talk about foreign history at the scripture banquet, you two just come over to listen, how about it? ”

The third prince and the fourth prince were all immersed in the strange statement that the emperor had just said that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were like their parents, and they were naturally a little stunned at this time, and even nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice. It wasn't until the emperor faintly ordered them to go down first that the brothers woke up almost at the same time.

You look at me, and the fourth prince rushed from behind the emperor to the third prince, and said happily: "Father, did you really agree?" ”

"Well, yes." The emperor nodded happily, seeing that the two brothers immediately forgot about the horror just now, they happily saluted and thanked them, and then they retired together, and he even saw the three princes walking all the way down the four princes, and the four princes shook their heads indifferently, and his innocent and happy appearance made him look at it and couldn't help but be a little envious.

"That's good......," he exhaled softly, his voice soft, "I used to be so carefree, because at that time, even when the sky fell, there was a father and a mother. But then the sky really collapsed......"

Liu Feng on the side didn't even dare to say a word, he would never dare to take on this extremely taboo topic. Fortunately, the emperor obviously didn't intend to let him take it, so he got up and walked out with a self-lost smile. He was only slightly stunned and then gestured to a few palace attendants to follow, but he stayed in the Qianqing Palace knowingly.

Anyway, he is the steward of the Qianqing Palace, and when he goes out with the emperor, he is courteous, not his duty!

And soon he learned that the emperor was going to the Queen Mother's Qingning Palace, and he was immediately surprised. It must be known that since the emperor was abolished, he has been in trouble with the queen mother for a long time, except for greeting him in the morning and dusk, he resolutely does not go to Qingning Palace, and the current situation is very abnormal.

Liu Feng's premonition did come true. As soon as the emperor entered the Qingning Palace, he ordered all the palace people, including Yuquan, to retreat, until only himself and the Queen Mother were left, and then he asked lightly: "Queen Mother, I have always had something unclear. Since Emperor Taizu lost his trace overseas, his life and death are unknown, and Emperor Taizong had searched for him overseas in many ways, why did he not move later? ”
