Shandong is located in the southeast of the Gyeonggi region, so the people of Zhangfu feel warmer and warmer the more they go, but three days have passed, the heavy jacket has been replaced by a warm and light Bijia, Zhang Erzhen took Zhang Heling, who gradually became lively, or taught the names of the habits of flowers and trees and grasses along the way, or urged Zhang Heling to review his homework, so as not to go back to see the Confucian period Ai Ai's unclear words, was disliked by the Confucians. The nurse stayed by the side of the sisters and brothers, looking at them lovingly, just like looking at her own pair of children, the eldest girl looks charming and charming, the eldest son is smart and hardworking, both of them treat her with respect, the nurse feels that this day is very good, as long as she watches the eldest girl successfully marry into the Sun family, she has no regrets in this life. As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she can't reach the whip, so she can only ask the Bodhisattva for protection at night.

The Zhang family has already entered Shandong, and they will be able to reach Jinan one day. Zhang Heling's eyes were full of curiosity, looking at his original hometown and sighing, "Outstanding people, such as that", Zhang Erzhen smiled and asked: "Who are you praising here?" Zhang Heling shyly touched his head and replied: "Of course, I said that Shandong students, Mr. said, there are many talented ancestors in Shandong, and there are Sun Wu, Meng Tian, Sun Bin and so on in military affairs, and Jiang Ziya in political thought. Zhuge Liang, as well as Mr. Confucius, the ancestor of the Confucian family, when Mr. mentioned it, he praised me for his good luck, and he wanted to come, but he couldn't get away, and asked me to send him more letters, more than he said interesting things. ”

Zhang Erzhen said with a smile: "One day is a teacher and a father is lifelong, since Mr. said so, there will be one more task to do after Heling." ”

Zhang Heling lost a tooth, grinned and said with a leaky mouth: "What kind of task is this, Mr. treats me carefully and carefully on weekdays, my father said, we have to repay the kindness." ”

Zhang Erzhen sighed with emotion and said: "Let's go to Licheng's house tomorrow, it was my father's home before he entered Beijing, and you haven't been there." Let's go back to the house and settle down first, and then I'll send you to the Confucian Academy. Licheng is not as good as Beijing, many things are not as good as Beijing, you can't dislike the temper, I won't indulge you like my mother. ”

Zhang Heling's head shook like a rattle, patted her little chest and said: "Sister, don't worry, I'm a man, I don't need my sister to worry about me, my father said, we must help each other, respect and love each other, and there must be no contradictions and suspicions that affect our feelings." ”

The nurse also smiled: "The eldest prince is right, when he comes to Shandong, the eldest prince and the eldest girl will be companions, if there is a quarrel, how can I get it." The eldest girl should also rest assured that our son, looking at the growing up, the eldest girl should rest assured. ”

Zhang Erzhen pretended to be angry and said: "It's just a yellow-haired child, to the point where he has already set up an adult's score, nurse, you can't indulge him to continue to be lawless, when I say I want to punish you, it's useless for anyone to beg for mercy." Zhang Heling's flattering pretentiousness, the cunning and clever appearance of the slippery head amused Zhang Erzhen and the nurse couldn't help laughing, Zhang Heling said: "The little brother must be the first to look forward to his sister, and live up to his sister's earnest teaching." Zhang Erzhen took a piece of bright red cherry cheese and stuffed it into Zhang Heling's mouth and said with a smile: "You can relax and rest today, you should be busy when you arrive tomorrow." ”

If you come, you will be safe, Zhang Erzhen has already made a plan, let's not talk about the rest, only Zhang Heling's education cannot be sloppy, the Confucian family is definitely the best choice, worship in the Confucian Academy, and don't say anything about the prime minister in the future, only the character of this article is absolutely not to say. The eldest sister is like a mother, and Zhang Erzhen's biggest task in the past few years is to take care of Zhang Heling, so that his body and psychology can reach double high quality.

Staying in an inn at night, Uncle Zhang quietly came to Zhang Erzhen, and took out a letter received during the day on his sleeve. The letter was written by Zhang Luan, simply saying that the affairs of the family had come to an end, and he wanted Zhang Erzhen to live with his younger brother with peace of mind, and everything was fine in Zhang's house, don't read it. Zhang Erzhen didn't believe that things could be solved so easily, but Zhang Luan didn't want her to worry about it, so she just didn't know. Uncle Zhang gently closed the door and went back to his room, and Zhang Erzhen carefully read the letter several times before folding it and receiving it into the makeup flower box. Tomorrow is going to Zhang's mansion, Zhang Erzhen couldn't believe it in a trance, she was still an infant when she first came, and now she is a slender girl. Ten years, I suddenly remembered Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi", ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable. Zhang Erzhen took off her robe and sat in front of a simple dressing mirror, the dim candlelight and shadow were enough to see really, but the slender girl in the mirror was in full shape, ten years old is a threshold, she is no longer a drooping child who can pretend to be innocent and can do everything without worry, she is already an adult who can take charge of herself. Zhang Erzhen sighed, was it early for him to become an adult?

The next day, the bright moon and the moon had been sorted out, and Zhang Erzhen took Zhang Heling to have a simple breakfast and set off again. At this time, it is getting closer and closer to Licheng, the mountains on both sides are lush and green, and occasionally there will be a man in gray cloth who drives the ox cart slowly and walks over, and the ox cart pulls the woman and child with new clothes, or carries a basket, the basket is covered with a blue falling star cloth, Zhang Erzhen stretched her neck and looked at it for a while, the nurse has come up and smiled: "Look at them are going to sell their own things to subsidize the family, those women look at the neatness, and the things they make must be good, do you want to take a look?"

Zhang Erzhen watched those women talking, occasionally laughing, very envious, but refused: "Next time, we brought a lot of things today, and it's troublesome to stop." Zhang Heling snuggled up to her sister and said, "If we buy their things now, they won't have to go to the town, and they won't have to travel to the road." ”

Zhang Erzhen smiled and touched Zhang Heling's black and neat bun and said: "It's rare for them to go to the town, look at them so happy and free, if we buy their belongings directly, it's simple, how do you know that they are really happy, and going home early is not to go to the field to do farm work?"

"The girl is really exquisite, and the peasant women are no freer than us people, and it is rare to go into the town once, even if it is dark before going back. The nurse yearned, but Zhang Erzhen was slightly dissatisfied: "The nurse is talking nonsense again, what is not inferior." The nurse smiled: "That's because our house is generous, and the girl is kind at heart, and she doesn't treat the slave and maid as a subordinate." Zhang Erzhen lifted the curtain again and looked at it for a while and asked, "Where is Mama Hua's distant nephew from Shandong, if we stop by the way, we can also go and have a look." ”

The nurse said in her heart that the girl was careful, and thought about it in her heart: "Mama said that she lived in the town with her nephew, called 'Yangzhen', but we are not on the way." ”

Zhang Erzhen said regretfully: "I'll send a letter another day and invite Mama Hua to come to the house to sit down." The nurse smiled and agreed, and Uncle Zhang's angry voice came from outside: "Girl, we have arrived at Zhuye Village in front, let's have lunch at the entrance of the village, and after Zhuye Village, we should go to Zhang's Mansion." Zhang Erzhen originally thought that it was only a few steps, it was better to rest when she got home, but looking at the sun and the warm sun, she felt that it was a pity not to go out to bask in the spring sun, so she responded, Zhang Heling raised her head and said: "Sister, let's go to the village for a walk, I have never seen life in the village." Zhang Erzhen had never seen the countryside in the Ming Dynasty, and when the carriage stopped, he jumped out of the carriage and prepared to take Zhang Heling into the village to have a look. The nurse didn't worry about wanting to follow, Mingyue also followed, Ruyue stayed to pack up the food and tea, Zhang Heling's little girl followed Ah Chu, Ah Chu was different from when he first entered the house, and he looked at the tiger's head and tiger brain.

The countryside of the Ming Dynasty is still not as good as the countryside of the previous life, and the thatched houses are not densely built. Every household has a yard, and the yard is simply fenced off, so that you can see the old grain and winter cotton jackets drying in the yard at a glance. Obviously, this family has a good life and has a lot of surplus food. There are also tall locust trees planted in the yard of people's homes, and the branches of the locust trees are hanging with green leaves, and the pale yellow locust flowers exude a burst of fragrance. The simple villagers of the farm family saw the rich boy looking at his big locust tree curiously, so he enthusiastically took a big bowl and brought it over, and smiled honestly and signaled to give it to the son. Zhang Heling looked at Zhang Erzhen at a loss, Zhang Erzhen took the big bowl and said with a smile: "The locust tree of Uncle's house has grown really well, and it has been growing for decades, and the locust flowers that grow here are bigger than other places." ”

The villager said proudly: "The girl is right, this big tree in my house is blessed by God, even if the king of heaven comes, he can't move it." ”

The villagers who were originally hiding around and peeking around laughed one after another, and a woman with a loud voice shouted with a smile: "Li Da, what you said is not right, as long as you have a locust tree in your house, there is still a locust tree in our village that grows much more than yours, right?"

The villager named Li Da smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but you dare to go to his house to try?" and turned to Zhang Erzhen and said: "Don't be afraid, girl, we won't take your money, it's just something from the township for the girl to try." ”

The woman agreed, "If you talk about hospitality, there is indeed no one who can compare with you." The nobles have never seen these things in our countryside, why don't you pack more and bring them back, now in the spring, this thing is just the right taste, and you can chew a big bowl of rice when you eat it cold. Zhang Erzhen couldn't stop it, and instructed Mingyue to take a pocket and put the locust flowers in the bowl, and thanked: "Then thank you uncle, we're welcome." Li took the porcelain bowl with a smile, and said kindly: "Girl, don't forget to go ahead, the man who lives at home over there has a bad temper, if you don't have to meet the girl, you will get into trouble and get lucky." ”

Zhang Erzhen agreed, led Zhang Heling to turn left and was about to turn around again, the woman also came over and said mysteriously: "Look at the girl and the son are from a big family, I heard that the grandmother Hua is also from Beijing, it doesn't look like it at this time, it was really a blessing before." It's not because of her nephew, who gambled and ruined the family business. The girl also knows when she looks at the wealth, how can no matter how big the family business is, she can only lose and not win...... Oh, look at what I did with the girl, I didn't get the little girl's ears dirty. ”

Grandma Hua's nephew from Beijing Zhang Erzhen's eyelids jumped, and asked, "Did you just say that Grandma Hua? She lives in the village with a nephew? I have an acquaintance who is a little similar to what the aunt said, but it's not my grandmother, so where does his family live?"

The lady whispered forward and said: "Isn't it the family I just said, his family has good feng shui, and it has an auspicious omen, and the nephew of that family feels that he is lucky, and he can't farm all day long, so it is easy to look forward to the rich aunt, and coax the old man to hand over the family wealth, but it will be lost in most of the year...... I looked at the poor grandmother of the family, dragging the sick body to weed, her cheap nephew was still sleeping at home at noon, only to reach out to the aunt to ask for money, now there is no money, so I pleaded with Grandma Hua and stretched out her hand to the old friend. Grandma Hua was also very tough, insisting that she was alone and had no other relatives and friends, and the nephew did not give up, and threw all the work in the field to Grandma Hua, and made a hands-off shopkeeper by herself. The woman was indignant, Zhang Erzhen and the nurse looked at each other, and they both had a bad feeling in their hearts, could it be that Mama Hua didn't tell the truth, her letters were all fake? The nurse said in her heart, no wonder she didn't receive a reply on the letterhead she sent......
