"It's the twentieth day of the lunar month, and I can finally go home!"

When he finally opened his eyes early in the morning, the first thought of the four princes was like this. Once in the palace, he really wanted to sneak out to see the outside world, but after really sneaking out for so long, he felt that the outside world was just like this, not only dirty, complicated, and troublesome, but also without his father and third brother, and even Zhang Shou, a teacher, did not come often!

"Only that nasty Zhang Chen!"

When this sentence burst out of his mouth instinctively, the fourth prince suddenly heard a voice from outside the door: "Don't you kid know how to be grateful if you say bad things about people behind your back?" Little Peanut and Xiao Cheng got up early, today the people in the village are planning to see us off, they are all busy, if it weren't for me and the village chief saying that you have worked hard for days, others would still think you have a big shelf! ”

Hearing Zhang Chen's voice, the four princes jumped up in annoyance, and then found that Xiao Peanut and Xiao Cheng's bed was empty. She knew that the two of them didn't call him to let him sleep a little longer, after all, when the third brother came over last time, he brought him a large bag of notes and homework, and that's not all, Zhang Shou later simply sent the total of twelve books in the "New Edition of Ge's Arithmetic" now.

And Zhang Shou's original words are that you don't have to bring it back when you come back, just give it all to those children here. Maybe it can make an arithmetic genius...... He seems to be very unruly!

Therefore, for several days, the four princes have been regarded as their heads hanging over the beam, studying hard, pondering the topic by themselves whenever they have free time during the day, trying to complete the homework assigned by Zhang Shou to the East Palace - of course, most of the time is in vain, and staying up late is naturally inevitable. Although Xiao Peanut and Xiao Cheng tried their best to dissuade him from fighting at night, he changed to memorize the formula before going to bed.

So, at this time, while he was quickly putting clothes on his body, he was angry and whispered that Zhang Chen loved to get along with him if he was fine, and he loved to mock him when he was fine. However, he thought that people would definitely not be outside, but Zhang Chen just didn't leave at this time.

Although he and the four princes did not like each other, they lived in this small Baijia Village for nearly a month, and the living conditions were limited, and they had to face a group of foolish villagers and ignorant children.

But this is not just because Zhang Shou came to visit them once, and by the way, he gave them a shortcut to encouragement, but because Zhang Chen also saw the extraordinary efforts of the four princes. This effort is not only desperately trying to select one or two top-notch among those children to prove himself, but also because the four princes themselves have not forgotten to study!

Zhang Chen almost forgot the last time he studied hard...... After all, being a student under Zhang Shou in Banshan Hall is a relatively relaxing experience, because Zhang Shou's lectures on history and general knowledge are very fascinating, as long as you listen carefully and record a little gist, the monthly exam and the like are very easy, not to mention that sometimes he will go to his father's collection of books on a whim.

Obviously, Zhang Shou's lectures are just to let them, the students who live a lazy and lazy life, broaden their knowledge, think more, read more, and study these four words hard...... Anyway, Zhang Shou never told him!

Therefore, he will never sacrifice his sleep time and rest time to study and do problems by heart! He is good, the fourth prince is good, he is from a noble background, and he has a good life, anyway, it is not their turn to be in power, it is enough to do something to live up to this life, why do you want to learn so many things? Will you need it in the future?

At this moment, hearing the squirming movement inside, as well as the yawning and complaining from time to time, Zhang Chen did not leave, but just stood there quietly. After a long time, although he had learned to dress and wash himself, the fourth prince, who still couldn't move fast, finally opened the door and came out, and then ...... Naturally, he stared at Zhang Chen with wide eyes.

"You, you, you......"

"What are you? In places like this, you have to remember not to speak ill of people behind your back. Zhang Chen coldly rubbed the head of the fourth prince, and saw that this kid jumped away like a rabbit, and then glared at him angrily, so he suddenly asked, "Is it worth it to study hard every day and practice so late?" ”

The fourth prince didn't expect to encounter such an abrupt problem, and after being stunned for a while, he said angrily: "Of course it's not worth it, and I don't want to be a grandmaster...... But I don't want to be thrown too far by the third brother! I don't want me to be able to pick up what he says in the future, and I don't want me to be unable to understand the books he reads in the future. ”

As soon as the words fell, he only felt a pain in his head, but he was actually blown up by Zhang Chen! He was furious for a while, and when he was about to fight back, he saw Zhang Chen turn around and leave, and dropped a few words without looking back.

"Children learn what adults to speak, what sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman, if you try too hard to burn down your body, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be worried. He and his teacher sent some books, not so much to keep you up to speed, but ......"

Zhang Chen paused at his feet, and his voice paused slightly, and then he smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has learned badly from the teacher, but he has learned the good ones, but he has learned the bad taste." He must be amusing you, probably because he has studied too hard these days, so I just want you to taste the taste of his hard work day and night! ”

The fourth prince wanted to refute at first, but when he heard Zhang Chen say the end, his eyes became a little fluttering. Because he felt that what Zhang Chen said was probably right and true.

The third brother who came to visit him that day looked completely different from the usual honest and honest, and the third brother who was still a little shy and shy in the past, although people are still so close to him, but he is always a little naughty and jumpy, and even a little like his younger brother's usual personality! Therefore, Zhang Chen's very outrageous guess, he actually sounded a little suddenly enlightened at this time.

But the fourth prince not only didn't think there was anything wrong with such a third brother, but felt that since the meaning of canonizing the prince was spread, he had been tense and tried to do his best.

Of course, he would never praise Zhang Chen, and followed behind the other party with a light snort, but after taking two steps, he felt empty in his stomach, and then he remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast at all. At this time, Zhang Chen, who was walking in front, seemed to have eyes behind his back, but said lightly: "In order to see us off, the people in the village started to work last night. ”

"But I knew that we had to rush back to Beijing as soon as possible, so the lunch we saw off became breakfast. If you eat with your stomach open for a while, you won't be able to die! ”

When good words came out of Zhang Chen's mouth, there was always an annoying meaning, so the fourth prince was reluctant to talk at all, but just snorted in annoyance. However, when he really arrived at the main house of the village chief's house, he saw that in this cold day, there were people coming in and out of the courtyard, and when he saw him and Zhang Chen, he called Mr. Xiao Zhang and Mr. Zheng in a mess.

Originally, for this ordinary village, no one felt that it was of any use, however, when Zhang Chen and the four princes showed great ability, and even whoever studied seriously and made great progress, whose parents could get the opportunity to do odd jobs or even do serious things in Tongzhou City to earn wages, it would be different.

In the past few days, those village children who originally loved to learn but did not learn were chased behind by their own adults with sticks to urge them to read, and some people even looked at their children and grandchildren who had no qualifications at all, so they didn't care about the difference between men and women - anyway, the village was not so poor and exquisite, and directly sent their daughters and even granddaughters over to read and write, hoping that their families would produce a "talented girl".

is not the kind of talented woman who recites poetry, but as long as it meets the standards of Mr. Xiao Zheng and Mr. Xiao Zhang.

Therefore, now that Zhang Chen and the four princes are going back, the men, women and children in the village are really reluctant. The adults were reluctant to bring the opportunities and benefits brought by Zhang Chen and the Four Princes, those jobs that they couldn't reach on weekdays, and the children were all crying at the thought of never being able to eat caramel anymore and not being able to play with the novelty toys that only those in the city had.

As for reading, most people don't like it or not, and they don't hold a grudge because they are beaten by their parents - country children, who doesn't get beaten a few times a day for all kinds of things?

Therefore, at this time, the children who had been ordered by the adults rushed up, eager to hug their thighs and beg Mr. not to go, and the chaotic noise made the four princes feel that their ears hurt. He knows very well that among these little guys, there are those who don't like to read and only covet benefits, some who keep him at this time because of their parents' urging, and some who follow the crowd......

There are probably only a few who really can't bear him.

Seeing Zhang Chen scolding people with a straight face at this time, after all, he is about the same age as others, and even younger than some people, but he can't help but be grinding hard there. And at this time, he heard a voice like a savior: "What's the trouble, it's the New Year, Mr. Xiao Zhang and Mr. Xiao Zheng are both from the city, and they are not satisfied with staying with us to teach you a month?" ”

The one who came out to play blackface was the most eloquent village chief in this village, and as soon as he came out to drink, a group of noisy children suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts. And after blasting away these noisy guys, people stepped forward with a smile on their faces, bowing to the four princes and Zhang Chen and making apologies.

He knew what the identities of these two were, and when he saw those stupid and stupid children in the village making a mess of the two, he was so frightened that he was scared, but after a few days, although the two of them were angry, they didn't really leave in a fit of anger.

Therefore, today's farewell practice banquet, he prepared early, just hoping to do his best, so that people can go back and remember this time in Baijia Village. However, he only said a few words politely, and Zhang Chen became impatient.

"Why do you talk so much nonsense! So many people gathered here early in the morning to be busy until now, and they are starving to death, since the main owner of the bed has also come, let's eat! I don't believe that after those boys saw the delicious food, they still had the effort to keep us! ”

was openly called by Zhang Chen to lie in bed, and the four princes were immediately furious. However, after the person finished speaking, he went in and slapped his face to signal to eat, and there was really a roaring sound inside, which was mixed with the shouting and scolding of the adults, he thought about it and warned himself in his heart, don't quarrel with Zhang Chen at a time like today. It's no good to win the quarrel!

So, the four princes didn't look at the village chief who was smiling, and strode in, and sure enough, they saw a group of children inside, ignoring the adults' scolding and chasing, and were desperately stuffing things into their mouths. And looking at it, the various dishes that were originally carefully prepared on the round table are not a mess, but they are already a mess.

He didn't have to look back to know how annoyed and embarrassed the expression on the village chief's face was, but he had been here for a month, and of course he knew what etiquette to ask for here, it was simply a fool's dream, so seeing that Zhang Chen had already generously went to the main table, he picked up a steamed bun and ate it, he also had to go forward, and sat down beside Zhang Chen unceremoniously, but he fished a flower roll without saying a word.

This kind of behavior in the palace or at other banquets will be poked in the backbone and said rude, but the village chief is relieved when he sees it. He didn't care about scolding the villagers who couldn't even control his own sons, so he walked forward quickly, sat down next to the four princes, and cautiously complained about the rudeness of the villagers, and then cautiously asked: "After the two go back, will you come back?" ”

Why do you come back? Live in a dilapidated house, look at this unchanging scenery, and then waste all your precious time on a group of little broken children who can't talk about any qualifications and diligence? Are you full of food?

Zhang Chen, who had always been perfunctory to the village chief before, said bluntly this time: "Even if I come next time, I will change people." However, Bai Shanshan and Bai Xiaoshui, who were diligent in studying before, I took them back first to let people palm, and after the New Year, they went to Beijing Public School to study. Oh, of course what I promised before counts, and one of them can send someone from their family to be a buddy in Fuping Goods Store in Tongzhou City. ”

As soon as these words came out, the noise around them stopped, and the villagers who scolded the children fell silent for a moment, but they exploded again in an instant. The two children who were named are still a little unclear, but their elders do have a look of pride and pride, and they are looking forward to it, not to mention how happy they are.

So, the next moment, the rest of the children who were busy eating were unlucky again. As soon as they thought of missing the opportunity to make money, their parents and elders didn't care about the occasion, and dragged over their own bear children to crack and beat for a while, and even mixed doubles, three hits, and four hits...... And in this chaotic atmosphere of porridge, the four princes who were three times five divided by two and one flower roll suddenly stopped.

He suddenly stepped on Zhang Chen's foot, and when he gasped and was about to be furious, he asked in a low voice, "What about Little Peanut and Xiao Cheng?" Didn't you just say they were here to help? ”

A few words provoked a group of parents to beat their children, Zhang Chen finally felt that the mood of being angry by these ignorant guys these days had eased, and when he was stepped on by the four princes, he was about to get angry, but when he heard someone ask this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he looked left and right, and found that the pair of brothers who were not separated from Meng Meng were indeed gone.

Just as he was about to ask the village chief, he heard the voice of Little Peanut outside: "Zheng Qiang, Zhang Chen, Miss Ye is here!" ”
