On a train roaring south to Shanghai, Chang Dachun sat on the seat nervously, holding the book of sages in his hand, and he didn't have the heart to taste it, he still doesn't understand, a car made of iron, without oxen and horses, how to run so fast, is there really a ghost in the world?

Chang Zaixing, who was waiting on the side, was really agitated, he had long heard that Shanghai was a world of flowers, and his favorite Xiangmei girl was settled in Shanghai, and his heart was very itchy, and he learned that his grandfather was going to Shanghai to investigate, so he pulled his sister Chang Shuying and begged for a long time, and finally let his grandfather Chang Dachun agree to take them to see the world.

Chang Shuying sat opposite Chang Dachun like a lady, the excitement at the beginning had passed, seeing her grandfather Chang Dachun's face strained, as if she was very scared, she thought for a while, and said: "Grandpa, this thing called a train is not pulled by livestock, how does it move?" ”

Hearing his granddaughter's question, Chang Dachun's old face turned red, and he repeated the answer he heard from Li Yunzhong: "Cough! Well, driven by steam, you don't understand it, these are all strange and obscene skills, you can't go to the hall of elegance, you still have to read more books of sages and sages, the Four Books and the Five Classics, and become a good wife and mother in the future, don't do anything deviant. ”

Chang Shuying pouted and stopped talking, thinking that some sisters could go to school to study, her heart became more and more unfair, Nanjing's official lady had already opened her eyes, and often gathered together to discuss knowledge, so as not to come into contact with some Western cultural knowledge, she already knew a lot about the principle of this train, but she just wanted to distract her grandfather.

Chang Zaixing deliberately yawned, held the grievances for his sister, and said boldly: "This train is very useful!" Where is what the odd kinky tricks. Grandpa, you should go to school like the emperor, you look at the cement road in Nanjing. No matter how beautiful the cement houses are, they are not all passed down from foreigners. There are so many colleges in Nanjing, you just let your grandchildren study at home, which will make others laugh at your grandchildren. ”

"Shut up!" Chang Dachun was angry, and when he talked about the academy, he was angry: "The academies in Nanjing have all fallen into crooked ways, why do good academies hire foreigners to teach, and the learning of saints is on a par with barbarians!" If you dare to mention this matter in the future, I will break your legs, my Chang family has been a Confucian for generations. Out of the rebellion can not be born. ”

Chang Zaixing was angry and didn't overdo it, glanced at his sister Chang Shuying, and took advantage of the opportunity to be attracted by the books in his hand, and the two sneaked out of the carriage.

Chang Shuying pouted and asked, "Brother, you said that you could persuade grandpa to let me go to the academy to study, so I agreed to persuade grandpa to bring yours, and now you can't even solve your own problems, how can you make grandpa promise me?" ”

Chang Zaixing snorted. replied: "It's not that you don't know how to be coquettish, grandpa feels sorry for you the most, I already know what his idea is!" ”

Chang Shuying's eyes widened and asked, "What idea can Grandpa have?" You're going to be cranky. Be careful I tell grandpa to go and lock you up for a few days, say quickly. Do you know what to say? ”

Chang Zaixing immediately showed a flattering look and begged, "My good sister." You must not make a small report in front of your grandfather again, about the last time you visited the kiln. But it made me miserable, and I didn't go out of the house for a whole month, and my brothers had already forgotten about me. ”

Chang Shuying said: "It's not that you came back with a blue nose and swollen face, and I don't know how to hide from your father, hum!" You haven't answered my question yet! ”

Chang Zaixing laughed and said mysteriously: "Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, that is, when I was confined, I heard a secret, of course, a secret about your life's events. ”

Chang Shuying's face was slightly red, and she twisted: "Is grandpa going to give me to others?" ”

Chang Zaixing nodded affirmatively and said, "Who do you guess Grandpa wants to give you to?" You would never guess! ”

Chang Shuying took a deep breath, looked left and right, her eyes were misty, and Cui said: "Say it quickly, I'm in a hurry, hum!" If Grandpa talks about a family, I'll ...... I ran away from home. ”

Chang Zaixing hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't do foolish things, you have to take me with you when you run away from home, phew!" What did I say, listen to me, grandpa is definitely not confused this time, it is Gao Zhi. ”

Chang Shuying said: "Then you don't say it quickly, don't miss a word!" ”

Chang Zaixing nodded like a chicken pecking rice, recalling: "I was bored that day, so I wanted to beg my grandfather to let me go out to play, who knew that I met Lu Shoufu, he was in a hurry, he didn't even pay attention to my greetings, and went straight to grandpa's study, I followed behind, planning to wait for grandpa to be in a good mood before going in, I think Lu Shoufu is here, grandpa will definitely agree." ”

Chang Shuying couldn't help pouting and said, "I'll play some tricks!" ”

Chang Zaixing ignored his sister's sarcasm, and continued: "It's strange to say, Lu Shoufu also said to my grandfather for more than half an hour, and I didn't see them come out, I was waiting outside in a hurry, I just wanted to hear what they said, guess what I heard?" ”

Chang Shuying trembled and asked with a crying voice: "Could it be that grandpa wants to marry me to Grandpa Lu's bastard grandson!" I...... I...... I'm not alive anymore, the one surnamed Lu is a gentleman, he was locked up in prison by the emperor and hasn't been released yet, how can my grandfather treat me like this, woo woo......"

Chang Zaixing was self-defeating, hurriedly hugged Chang Shuying, and whispered: "Auntie, you can't make grandpa over, you listen to me, what they said is definitely not the bastard of the Lu family." ”

Chang Shuying was embarrassed, wiped her tears, and complained: "Then you didn't say it earlier!" ”

Looking at his sister's beautiful eyes, he often went straight to the point: "I only heard that several of their emperor's concubines were not from good backgrounds, in case they gave birth to a prince, wouldn't the Han Dynasty fall into their hands, especially Jiao Liang hinted at this matter to them several times, planning to be the leader of the civil officials, saying this, grandpa seemed to be very angry, and scolded Jiao Liang a few words, and later, Grandpa Lu proposed to let the emperor draft a girl." ”

Chang Shuying listened with wide eyes, it was rare that she didn't have a plan, she heard that she was going to draft a girl, she guessed something in her heart, and her face involuntarily turned rosy.

Chang Zaixing continued: "Grandpa heard about the draft girl, and immediately denied it, he said that the emperor had already ordered that the draft girl should not be enriched in the harem, Grandpa Lu paused, and hinted that grandpa sent you to the harem!" ”

Listening to Chang Zaixing's retelling, Chang Shuying's mood fluctuated until the dust settled, and then she asked softly, "Does Grandpa agree?" ”

Chang Zaixing patted his chest and said: "Of course I agreed to such a good thing, but I refused a few times before agreeing as usual, if my sister marries into the harem, wouldn't I be Uncle Guo!" I think those bastards dare to laugh at me! ”

Chang Shuying stopped: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, don't spread it, if you ...... If the emperor doesn't agree, how do you let me behave! ”

Chang Zaixing comforted: "Don't worry, my good sister, grandpa and Lu Shoufu are both important ministers in the court, how could the emperor ignore their proposals, besides, when the time comes, there will definitely be many civil officials to take the lead, your marriage to the emperor is a sure thing, no one can stop it, give birth to a son in the future, that is, the future emperor, haluha!" The future emperor is my nephew, so wouldn't I be able to make a marquis! Ha Lu Ha! I'm Hou Ye! ”

Listening to her brother's nonsense, Chang Shuying was ashamed and angry, grabbed his ear and said: "Where do you want to go, even if I enter the palace, there is still the queen's mother, if you talk nonsense again, I will ...... So I told my grandfather to go, saying you were eavesdropping on them. ”

Chang Zaixing immediately bowed his body and admitted his mistake: "My good sister, you can spare me, I am also thinking about your future, and besides, I am not talking nonsense, Lu Shoufu said, I will definitely support your son as the emperor in the future, I don't know if it is him, all the civil officials will support you." ”

Happiness came too fast, Chang Shuying was stunned, she couldn't understand why Lu Jianying was so concerned about this matter, married her into the palace, gave birth to a son and became the prince, step by step, this is not calculating the emperor? Let her get along with several mothers in the palace.

Thinking of this, Chang Shuying hesitated again.

The train shook twice, Chang stumbled again, helped Chang Shuying, turned his head to look out the window, and exclaimed: "Why did the train stop, is this to Shanghai!" (To be continued......)
