Chapter 164: The Starlight Twinkles in the Night

In this day and age, on the education of children,.

When I ate that day, it was really steamed insects, and I left a few for my brother to prepare to feed ants, and even let my brother bite an unprocessed green worm, but the little guy no longer stuffed the insects found outside into his mouth.

In the afternoon, when I found the worm, I gave it to the maid, which meant that it was delicious to make him cooked.

The glass jar was also made, and a small nest of ants was thrown inside, and the lid was not afraid to run out, as Zhang Xiaobao said, the little guy lost interest in the ants after looking at them for a while, but he was curious about the magnifying glass, grabbed it in his hand and looked around, and when it hit his sister's face, he was startled by his sister's curious big eyes.

The younger brothers and sisters will run, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan began to find a way to exercise them, they can't be like the two of them at the beginning, there will be an accident, make a few balls, let them kick and play, and also prepare some toys with a little weight, the babies have to work hard if they want to play, and they will naturally not play if they have no strength.

"It's hot, you can let them learn to swim, throw a few more lifebuoys sewn with pig blowing bubbles into the water, the water temperature should be adjusted, let him go in and play, and throw the ducklings and small fish made of wood into it."

Zhang Xiaobao got up in the morning, and after seeing the four little guys sleeping in the shade after eating, he adjusted the pockets for them and said.

The purpose of wearing a doudou is not to look good, but to block the navel, which is a place where nutrients were once transmitted, and it is easy to get sick when it is cold.

Wang Juan took two books, gave one to Zhang Xiaobao, and when he found a place to sit down and prepare to read, he said, "Aren't you afraid that they will choke on water?" ”

"Shallow water, the kind where they can show their heads even if they sit in the pool." Zhang Xiaobao took the book and looked at it, it turned out to be the sticky post when he took the imperial examination last year, and he immediately felt a headache.

"Then what are you doing with a lifebuoy?"

"Let them know what it's like to climb on a lifebuoy, experience buoyancy firsthand, maybe you don't need to teach them, and in a few days they will be able to swim on their own, and now they don't know how to be scared as they did when they grew up."

Zhang Xiaobao explained, began to read books, the questions of the imperial examination in previous years can be collected by others, but good answers can not be found, this is still brought out by the people in the capital, some are directly placed there, and some are read and written with evaluations, which is very useful to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

From the rice seedlings that have not yet set head, it can be seen that this year's harvest will not be less, and the rent will not be worried.

Zhang Zhong thought about it again after the end of the year, and the taxes collected by the people who were raised when they bought and sold would also increase a lot, and even if his task here was completed, it was estimated that he would be able to change places after two years.

After a while, he was idle, and he would find a way to have fun with other thorn histories, a small banquet for three days, a big banquet for five days, or hunting, sending benefits to the top, and so on.

Zhang Zhong doesn't have this hobby, and he doesn't have to take care of the gift-giving thing, or read a book, or look at the children, and finally he is really bored, so he goes out for a walk after breakfast every day, takes the guards to ride from place to place, looks at the lives of the people, looks at the goods in the market, and then enjoys the scenery of Shuzhou.

After walking in the near place, Zhang Zhong wanted to go far, don't expect to come back that day, just travel on the road that has not been repaired yet, and if you go from the government office to the farthest riverside, you have to walk for half a month.

Zhang Zhong didn't plan to go home for so many days, he wanted to go to Taihu Lake three or four days away, let people set up their cars, bring more guards, and say hello to their families without hurrying in the direction of Taihu Lake.

As for the affairs of the state capital, it is left to the people of the inner court.

The team walked leisurely, looking at the scenery and tasting tea, and it was night, and it was not possible to go to the village in front of the village, and there would be no store in the back, and other officials might feel uncomfortable when they traveled, but Zhang Zhong would not.

Find a vacant land, set up the tent, and some cooks began to cook for everyone, and the three cooks did not give Zhang Zhong a single stir-fry, they all knew that even if they made a small stir-fry, Zhang Zhong would not eat, and he had to eat with everyone.

It's not a deliberate attempt to get closer to the people in the inner courtyard, Zhang Zhong has already regarded the villagers and the people in the inner courtyard as his own family, and his family is comfortable eating together.

After a day's journey, I didn't eat any stir-fried vegetables, and the cook also followed, and directly asked the three cooks to make a stew, and then steamed a big pot of rice.

Zhang Zhong ate an eight-point treasure, walked around the tent, and followed by two guards and a little boy, the child was the Zhuang who came from the first Zhuangzi of the Zhang family when he came, and usually studied in Pujia Academy, and heard that he could follow the master of the main family, so he took the initiative to apply and came over.

Don't look at leaving the academy, there is not a lot to learn, following Zhang Zhong is much stronger than the academy, and the knowledge that can be learned in the academy can also be learned by Zhang Zhong, or even more comprehensive, and at the same time, when you go outside to see, you can also gain insight.

"Zhang Tong, is it sixteen this year?" Zhang Zhong walked and walked, suddenly stopped, looked at the sky full of stars and asked Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong nodded and replied, "Yes, sir, you remember it accurately." ”

"Study hard this year, next year, before I leave Shuzhou, I will take off your nationality, take the exam, and then go to the place where there are two shops in our Zhang Wang, read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, see the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, experience the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the people in different places, I feel that it is almost over, go to Beijing to take a Jinshi and come back, don't be lazy."

Zhang Zhong admonished Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong was stunned for a moment, didn't know how to reply, nervously *** started, and said: "Master, I don't want to get out of the country, I just want to stay in the Zhang family and be the Zhang family's banker." ”

"It's still a child's words, how can you take the imperial examination without leaving the country? If you don't take the imperial examination, who will help Xiaobao them in the future? Not only you, but all the bankers who have the ability to take the test must take off their lowly status to take the test for fame and come back, and they will also take the martial arts test, and then they will be scattered all over the country, for the official side, so as to favor the people of my Tang Dynasty.

Lack of money from the master's family, don't be greedy, anyone who is not dedicated to the sake of the people, when the time comes, the two families of Zhang Wang can go up, and they can also be beaten down, remember? ”

Zhang Zhong's mind has been put on the time when his sons grow up, as long as the Zhang and Wang families train more outstanding children to become officials, they will have a helper.

Zhang Zhong just thought of it, he was busy with other things before, how could he know that his son had already planned to do so, not only the Zhuang family, but also the people from the academy, as well as the people who were funded by the Zhang and Wang families in various places, and now there are already people who are officials.

are cultivated in secret, not allowed to be corrupt, not allowed to take bribes, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan spend more than 20,000 yuan in this area every year, the highest person has already sat in the position of the other frame in Xiazhou, from the official of the fifth grade, after Zhang Zhong enters the capital, there will be a few people, how can there be two waiters.

There are also people who specialize in cultivating in the aspect of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the three provinces and six departments have to enter the people, this kind of person may not be used once in his life, and he only spends money in vain, but once Zhang Xiaobao is forced to use it, it will definitely not be a small scene, this matter is only known to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and the people who do things closely, and even Zhang Zhong and other family members are not clear.

When Zhang Zhong was thinking about the future, Zhang Tongxin couldn't calm down, he could imagine that one day that was not too far away, the little boy, the brothers in the village, were officials at the same time, helping each other, as long as they could do it, they would not have to worry about being framed and excluded.

The two of them were silent for a while, looking at the stars and the moon, and after a while, Zhang Tong spoke up.

"Master, don't worry, we all know how to do it, for the sake of the people, we are all people who have suffered hardship."

"Hmmm! Let's go, there's still a long way to go. Zhang Zhong, who doesn't know the direction of history, has not begun to calculate people like Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and is bent on making the Tang Dynasty more prosperous.

The two of them wandered around, and they walked around for more than an hour, in fact, they were circling around the tent, that is, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan distilled the flower water according to the prescription of mosquito repellent, otherwise, they would have been stared at a head.

There are also cooling oils and wind oil essences, which can be used to ensure the stability of sleeping in wild places, or to help refresh the mind.

After a few turns, he was finally tired of walking, Zhang Zhong yawned and said, "It's late at night, let's rest, we have to hurry tomorrow morning." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone here heard a shouting from the west.

"What kind of person, Shuzhou Assassin Shi is here again, report, stop, come down for me."

When the voice came, Zhang Zhong was immediately surrounded by the guards, and more torches were lit one after another.

After a few dozen breaths, three horsemen came back from the east, all of them were Zhang Zhong's guards, and one of them still had a tied man on his horse, and this man had an arrow stuck in his shoulder.

The three horses were followed by a horse, presumably ridden by the man who had been tied up.

"Master, I caught a sneaky person, didn't rest in the middle of the night, rode a horse and ran here, and after being seen, I hurriedly fled, it is estimated that it is to be unfavorable to the master, and I ask the master to fall."

Immediately, a guard with a person tied up turned over, threw the person to the ground, and said to Zhang Zhong, there was no happy or worried look on his face, as if he had done a trivial thing, which was usually taught by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the responsibility of the guard is to guard, and there is nothing to be happy about protecting safety.

Zhang Zhong didn't know who was coming, he looked at the people on the ground, and waved his hand, "It's good for you to interrogate, tell me when you have news, I'll go back and lie down for a while." ”

Throwing down a sentence, Zhang Zhong went into the tent, and someone here immediately took out the stuff that was in the mouth of the tied person, and before they could ask, the man threatened: "Do you know who I am?" I am a subordinate of the prince, and I do things for the prince. ”

"Then hurry up and talk about things, sleepy, it's time to sleep, what are you doing with so much nonsense, which prince, say it, what else do you do?"

The guards didn't care who it was, and the most important thing was to ask for information, so they kicked this person hard and told him to say quickly.

"Yes, it's Prince Ning, don't let me go soon." The man struggled to get up, but he couldn't muster his strength.

The guard kicked him again: "Can't you change someone?" Also Si Ning Wangye, Si Ning Wang Ye's people will run away when they meet my master? Looks like I'm going to have to let you know what's going on. ”
