Hearing that Zhang Jingzhong, the guard who was not a member of the White Lotus Sect, came over and asked what they were talking about, Tang Jingyu immediately said, "Your Majesty is so approachable and kind to the people, we never imagined. ”

"Indeed, who would have thought that His Majesty would be so approachable." The guard also sighed.

They said a few more words, so it was getting late, and it was almost dark, so they rushed to the Zhou Wangfu with their wives and children. They will be on duty tomorrow before dawn, and they will have to rest early in the evening.

But as soon as I walked a few steps, I saw a small group of people gathered in front of me, and I didn't know what they were watching. Tang Jingyu and the others also walked over under curiosity, and saw a scholar in a long shirt pulling a person in a strong suit without letting go, and kept talking about something, and there was a seven or eight-year-old child standing next to him, so he asked the person on the outside: "This brother, what is going on?" ”

"Well, the scholar took the kid by the hand and walked out of a shop at the corner of the road, and while he was talking and didn't notice anything, he turned out a carriage and some horses from the corner. The coachman and the rider tried their best to dodge, but they accidentally hit the child. ”

"But because he tried his best to dodge, the child didn't hit anything, and the family who drove the car was willing to pay some money, and this should have passed like this."

"But who knew that this scholar was all elm heads, so he had to let the owner of the family come out to apologize. The guards in this family who stayed behind are very capable at first glance, such a family can't come out of those few nobles or princes, how can they take care of these two scholars? The car drove away, leaving the guard to take care of the rest. Now it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, this scholar didn't stop the carriage, he pulled the guards who stayed behind and didn't let go, he had to ask him which family he belonged to, and he had to go to the door to reason. The person they questioned said.

"I think this man is going to slander people. It's just a little bit of skin, and people also promised to lose money, and they also promised to pay dozens of taels of silver, and they still don't give up, hum. Another said.

"People are scholars, maybe it's just fighting for this breath."

"Fart reader! Wearing a long shirt is a scholar? You have to be in the exam to be considered a scholar! Otherwise, it's just two sours. Everyone said.

Tang Jingyu, who knew the reason for the matter, didn't have the heart to watch the excitement anymore. Not to mention such things in the capital, even in Shandong, it is not unusual. He said to Xiang Jingyu and Zhang Jingzhong: "Don't look at the excitement, it's so late, it's time to go back." ”

The two of them promised that they would go back with their wives and children. But at this time, Xiang Jingyu suddenly said: "Hey, Brother Tang, we seem to have seen this father and son." ”

"Yes, yes. I remembered that when you entered the Zhou Palace, they asked for directions. Zhang Jingzhong said.

On the day Tang Jingyu and the other four families came to the capital, it was Zhang Jingzhong who guarded the gate, Tang Jingyu also remembered the family of three, and asked casually: "They were asking where to go?" ”

Zhang Jingzhong was about to answer, when suddenly a shout came from not far away: "Second uncle, second uncle." When they turned their heads, they saw a young scholar of about fifteen or sixteen years old running towards him, followed by several people, one of whom was dressed in brocade, and at first glance he was a noble son of a rich family, and the person beside him looked like a descendant of this noble son.

The young scholar ran over panting angrily, and when he saw his second uncle pulling a big man in a strong suit and not letting go, he was stunned for a moment, and then came over and asked, "Second uncle, what's going on?" ”

"You've come just in time, Jie'er, the head of this man's family bumped into your brother, but he ran away, leaving only one guard. I'm going to ask the master of their house to come to reason! The middle-aged scholar said.

The man called Jie'er was about to ask what had happened, when the noble boy who had followed him had already walked over and asked what had happened.

The middle-aged scholar was about to say it again, when suddenly the face of a subordinate next to the noble boy changed greatly, and he leaned over and said a few words. This noble son also showed a look of surprise, and after listening to the words of the middle-aged scholar, he thought about it, bowed down and saluted: "Mr. Yu, this guard is the guard of my family, and I didn't recognize it until I was reminded by my subordinates." The person in the car was about my brother. I'm here to apologize to Mr. Yu for my brother. ”

"Even if it's Childe's brother, then I won't ask who it is, lest it be difficult to talk when we meet. But please tell the son when he goes back that he must not be so reckless when he goes out in the future. ”

"Although the son of your mansion has a noble status, but your majesty is fair, it is fortunate that you did not break the dog today, but if you injure or even kill a passerby, even your family will be punished by your majesty. The prince of the Duke of Wei was punished by His Majesty, and he was still a person who had made great contributions to the court on the battlefield. So don't be reckless. I'll also mention this when I give a lesson to your son-in-law tomorrow. The middle-aged scholar said.

"This middle-aged scholar sounds like a teacher from the child's family. Childe's noble status? Where is this son? Can you compare it with the Duke of Wei? Xiang Jingyu said to himself with some curiosity.

"You don't recognize him? Yes, you have not been in Beijing for a long time, and you don't go out much, and you haven't followed His Highness to visit the nobles. This person is the only son of Zheng Guogong, named Chang Jifeng, and he has been separated for many years, and now the saint succeeded to the throne before he was found by the second master of Changfu. ”

"Because he is the only son of Zheng Guogong, the second and third masters of Changfu cherish it very much, and they once wanted to pass on Zheng Guogong's future to him, but they were rejected by His Majesty; But even if he can't inherit the title, he is also very favored in Changfu, and the younger step-generations are a little jealous, and he often bullied him when he first came to Changfu, and he was taught a few times by the elders before he dared to do so. Zhang Jingzhong said the gossip with relish.

"So favored, but very polite? Shouldn't the average favored person be arrogant? Xiang Jingyu said puzzled.

"It's probably because I've been in an ordinary person's house for a few years, although this young master of Changfu is extremely favored, he is not arrogant, but he is very good to his subordinates. People in the capital said that he was the best person in the Chang Mansion except for the eldest young master Chang Jizong, and some people even said that he was better than the eldest young master of the Chang family. ”

"And this man is very nostalgic. He called his playmates who played together when he was a child to the capital as his companion, not only being able to study together but also living a good life. The tutor who is now teaching children under the age of twelve, and the second uncle who accompanied him, came to Beijing to see his nephew and check how well his nephew was reading. It's about this middle-aged scholar. ”

"It's a great job!" Zhang Jingzhong said: "The middle-aged scholar is just a showman, it is said that he has not been admitted to the township examination for more than ten years. came to Changfu to teach, and he tied up 72 yuan a year, which was six or seven times that of ordinary people, and there were also small servants to serve. Damn, there is a brother in my family who was also admitted to Xiucai, it would be nice if he could end up with such a good errand. ”

Tang Jingyu and Xiang Jingyu listened to the gossip here, and the matter over there was over. The middle-aged scholar said a few more words, refused the guard's money, patted the soil on his son's clothes, and saw that it was not too early, and planned to go back to Changfu with Chang Jifeng and others. He walked a few steps and saw that the guard was still standing in place, and asked, "You don't go back to Changfu with us?" Don't worry, I won't sue in front of the master. ”

Before the guard could speak, Chang Jifeng said, "My brother has other things to tell him." Mr. Yu, don't worry about it, let's go back. The middle-aged scholar believed it when he heard this, and he didn't care, and he was about to leave with his son. When the onlookers saw that the excitement was over, they all dispersed, and Tang Jingyu and the others were naturally no exception.

But suddenly he heard an 'oops', and Tang Sai'er suddenly ran forward. It turned out that there was a gust of wind blowing at the right time, and she was playing with the toys she bought this time, and she was accidentally blown away by the wind.

"Be careful." Tang Jingyu was afraid that her daughter would be abducted by a kidnapper, so she hurriedly rushed forward.

It just so happened that the toy scraped the feet of the middle-aged scholar's son. The child bent down to pick it up, and as soon as he straightened up, Tang Sai'er had already run to his side and said, "Give me my toy." ”

"How rude!" At this time, Tang Jingyu had already come over, and when she heard Tang Sai'er speak like this, she was afraid of annoying Chang Jifeng, so she hurriedly reprimanded her, and said to the middle-aged scholar: "The little girl is young and not very polite to Ling Lang, please don't blame her." ”

"Children, don't be sensible, it's nothing." The middle-aged scholar's attitude was very kind, and he instructed his son to return the toy to Tang Sai'er.

The child's face was full of unhappiness, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's order, so he could only reach out and hand it to Tang Sai'er.

But Tang Sai'er waved his hand and said, "Seeing that you like toys so much, I'll give them to you." I'll ask Daddy to buy me another one. ”

But the child said, "Since my father has spoken, then I will listen to my father and give it back to you." And this toy is not my thing, I can't ask for it. "It's going to be handed to Tang Sai'er.

Tang Sai'er didn't send something out for the first time, a little unhappy, Tang Jingyu hurriedly scolded her softly, asked him to take the toy, and said to the middle-aged scholar: "Mr. teaches the child so well, and he will definitely be able to slaughter the official in the future." ”

"Thank you Jiyan." No matter what the parents will be happy to hear such words, thank you.

"I don't know the name of the high surname?" Tang Jingyu said a few more words to him, became more familiar, and asked.

"His name is Yu Xu, and his dog's name is Yu Qian."
