Chapter Twenty-Seven
Shen Yun shook his head with a smile, took out his hand to test the temperature of the soup, and handed it to him, while saying: "I like to cook for you, so I don't feel tired, watching you eat deliciously, it is even more pleasant to be physically and mentally happy, isn't this the best way to raise?" β
When Xiao Cong heard this, he just smiled, ate all the soup, and ate it all the soup.
said that Xiao Cong had eaten soup, accompanied Shen Yun back to the dormitory, pressed her to the couch and said, "You can sleep again, recuperate your spirits, I will take you to a place in a while." β
Shen Yun was a little curious: "Where is it?" β
Xiao Cong covered her with a quilt and said with a smile: "You'll know when you go, it's a good place anyway." After speaking, he held her hand with one hand, blindfolded her with the other, and said softly: "Obedient, sleep for a while." β
Shen Yun couldn't, so he had to close his eyes, and after a while, his breathing slowed down.
Xiao Cong put her hand into the quilt at this time, got up and walked out of the inner hall, and called Gao Qinian to ask, "Has Su Xiang already passed first?"
Gao Qinian said: "Your Majesty, Su Xiang got up early in the morning and went over first. β
Xiao Cong nodded and said, "Okay, my father-in-law will also let people prepare first, and leave when she wakes up." β
Maybe it was because she was thinking about the place Xiao Cong said she was going to, Shen Yun woke up after sleeping for less than half an hour, and when she finished grooming and got into the carriage, Xiao Cong still refused to reveal anything, just said that she would know.
When the car stopped at the door of a mansion, Shen Yun knew that Xiao Cong had brought her to a academy, because the sound of reading aloud had already come from inside.
She was even more curious, what did she suddenly come to the academy for?
At this time, Su Huaijin was standing at the door, seeing them coming, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and made a gesture of please, Xiao Cong took Shen Yun's hand and walked in, Su Huaijin silently led the way in front, and soon arrived outside a classroom, from the crack in the window, it was faintly visible that there were some elementary school children sitting indoors, who had just finished reading a book, and were sitting quietly listening to Mr. explain to them at the moment.
Shen Yun followed them and stood by the window and listened for a while, feeling that the gentleman's voice seemed to be very young, but the book was really good, so he couldn't help nodding, Xiao Cong and Su Huaijin saw it, and just looked at each other and smiled.
The gentleman probably also noticed that there was someone outside the window, and after speaking for a while, he asked the schoolchildren to continue reading, and he walked out, saw Xiao Cong and Su Huaijin, and bowed respectfully. Shen Yun felt that he was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and when he was wondering, he had already walked up to her, straightened his clothes, and bowed down and said, "The student meets the teacher." β
Shen Yun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "You are... Are you Nansheng? As he spoke, he hurriedly helped him up, and then sighed: "They have all grown into adults, and now they are also other people's teachers." β
Gu Nansheng replied with a shy smile: "The students don't dare, the people sitting in this classroom are all protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty is their teacher, and the students are just teaching on their behalf." β
Shen Yun laughed when he heard this: "This majesty is really thick-skinned, I'm afraid I haven't come to teach for a day, and I let others do all the work, but it's cheap but I have it myself." β
Gu Nansheng turned his head to look at the two beside her in some astonishment, and saw that they were just smiling helplessly, so he explained, "Doesn't the teacher know? These schoolchildren are all from poor families, and if His Majesty had not opened an official school, how could they have the opportunity to be educated in poetry and books? It is only natural to respect His Majesty as a teacher. β
When Shen Yun heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he only looked at Xiao Cong, but his eyes were red, and he muttered, "Your Majesty..."
When Xiao Cong saw it, he just reached out to hold her hand, leaned into her ear and whispered: "It's not nice to shed tears in front of your students, besides, he only knows that I am your husband and Su Xiang is our brother, don't expose them all." β
When Shen Yun heard this, he had to try his best to hold back his tears, let out a sigh, and said to Nan Sheng with a serious face: "In this case, you must be like a gentleman when you are a gentleman, and in addition to teaching students, you must also work hard to improve your own knowledge, you know?" β
When Gu Nansheng heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Follow the teacher's teachings." β
Shen Yun smiled again and said, "Okay, let's go back to teaching, and when you finish the class, we'll talk about it again." β
Gu Nansheng replied "yes" and went back to class.
At this time, Su Huaijin said in a low voice, "The time is almost up, and the minister is going to give a lecture to the gentlemen." "After saying that, I will go first.
Xiao Cong took Shen Yun's hand and followed behind him and said, "Let's go, let's go listen too, they all say that this Su Xiang lectures and has the demeanor of his grandfather." β
Shen Yunqi said: "Su Xiang is so busy, do you still have time to come out to lecture?" β
Xiao Cong said: "Not only Su Xiang, but also the bachelors of the court, will take out two or three days a month to give lectures to these poor scholars in the government schools in various places, and now it is harder, and when they bring out a group of disciples to share, it will be much easier, such as Nansheng, isn't it now also able to take primary school children." However, the number of people is limited now, and the amount of money that the imperial court can allocate is also limited, so such schools are only implemented in a few counties near Kyoto. However, as you said, but do good deeds, don't ask about the future, as long as such schools are increasing one by one, there will always be a day when they will spread all over the world. β
When Shen Yun heard this, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "Your Majesty is the king of the world, and the well-being of the people of the world. β
Xiao Cong smiled bitterly and said, "These sycophants came out of your mouth, why do I sound so awkward." β
Shen Yun glanced at him with a smile, "I need to pat your ass?" β
Xiao Cong hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, you don't have to pat my ass, you are now high." β
Shen Yun said a little dazedly: "What do you mean by that?" β
Xiao Cong said: "I also just heard what Nan Sheng said, you see, your students' students, respect me as a teacher, then aren't you a generation higher than me?" β
Shen Yun smiled and said, "Then I can be regarded as getting it back this time." β
Xiao Cong was confused at this time: "What got it back?" β
Shen Yun said quietly: "When Ah Yue named her son, I always felt that she was taking advantage of me, 'Li', how do you look at this name and how do you look like my peers." β
When Xiao Cong heard this, he laughed and sighed: "It makes sense, it makes sense, but now it can be regarded as a flattening." β
But Su Huaijin listened word for word in front of him, and said in his heart, these two people talk about this all day long? It's too boring, isn't it?
At that time, they listened to Su Huaijin's lecture and finished studying, and Nan Sheng's side had already finished teaching and was waiting on the side. When the gentlemen were gone, he said, "I knew that the teacher was coming early in the morning, and my mother prepared food at home, and I wanted to invite the teacher to the cold house for a gathering." β
Shen Yun said: "Naturally, I want to see your mother. As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Cong.
Xiao Cong naturally smiled and nodded, Nan Sheng saw it, and hurriedly said, "Please Su Xiang and the big officials to enjoy the light together." β
On the way, Xiao Cong whispered to Su Huaijin and teased: "You prime minister don't know how to mix, you have to rely on the face of other little ladies to eat." β
Su Huaijin just said lightly: "Each other." Besides, doesn't the sister always say the same thing in front of the big officials, that face is indeed not ordinary. β
Shen Yun didn't have time to pay attention to them, only pulled Nan Sheng to ask long and short questions, of course, what she was most concerned about was whether her godgrandson had eyebrows, Nan Sheng's face was flushed with shame, and in the end, Xiao Cong couldn't listen to it anymore, and pulled her over and said: "People haven't reached the weak crown yet, and your heart is too early." β
Shen Yun nodded and said, "Yes, alas, isn't it that I am not lacking in people's hearts, and I still want to hold my grandson when I have a son." β
Listening to everyone's laughter and crying again.
While talking, the group arrived at Nansheng's house, Gu was already waiting at the door, and when they saw Shen Yun coming forward, they were about to kneel down, Shen Yun hurriedly held her up, and sighed: "Sister-in-law Gu, why are you here again." β
The two sat in the house hand in hand, and the parents chatted for a short time, and finally Nansheng reminded in a whisper: "Auntie, didn't you invite the teacher to dinner?" β
Gu patted his head and said, "Look at me, please sit down, and the slave will go to the stove to have a look." β
Shen Yun smiled and asked Nan Sheng, "What do you have for dinner?" It won't be ravioli, right? β
Nan Sheng blushed and said, "The teacher said he laughed." β
Shen Yun said: "It seems that your mother can be regarded as learning to cook now." β
Nan Sheng's face turned even redder: "Mother's craftsmanship, I don't dare to entertain the teacher, today's dinner is to invite the lady of the Shao shopkeeper who opened a tavern on North Street to help clean up." β
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and after a while, they saw Gu Shi leading a woman to come up with a meal.
The woman originally just lowered her head to set the dishes, but when she was about to say goodbye, she inadvertently glanced at everyone in the seat, but she was stunned when she saw Shen Yun, and she forgot to salute, so she only looked at her.
Shen Yun was a little uncomfortable with her, and at first thought that maybe she was someone she knew before, but after trying to think about it for a while, she still didn't have any impression at all, and couldn't help but say with some embarrassment: "Have you seen the concubine with the lady before?" Forgive the concubine's clumsiness..."
Before she could finish speaking, the woman said in a trembling voice, "You're... Qingqing? β
As soon as this remark came out, it shocked everyone. Shen Yun was shocked: "How does the lady know..."
I heard the woman ask with tears in her eyes, "Your brother's name is Shen Changsong?" β
This sentence shocked Shen Yun's chopsticks and fell off, Xiao Cong and Su Huaijin glanced at each other, both at a loss.
When the woman saw her reaction, she began to cry mournfully, and Gu Shi hurriedly helped her to sit on the edge of the table, and asked her what was the matter.
Xiao Cong looked at the woman, then at Shen Yun, and said in his heart, it seems that my eldest brother owes a romantic debt.
Shen Yun knew what he was thinking when he saw it, but he just gave him a fierce look and didn't speak.
The woman cried for a while, and then while wiping away her tears, she looked at Shen Yun and said, "Although you can see at a glance that they are two brothers and sisters, you are not as good-looking as your brother." β
Xiao Cong raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Huaijin, only to see him nodding and smiling helplessly, and then listening to Shen Yun say, "Ah, this is indeed ... I heard adults say that when I was a child, my mother always thought that I looked more like my father, not as good as my brother..."
The woman chuckled and said, "That's nature, your brother is the best-looking man I have ever seen in the world, the stones are like jade, and the pines are like emeralds." Lang Yan is unique, and there is no other in the world. β
When Shen Yun heard this, he coughed lightly in embarrassment: "No... So it's good-looking. After speaking, he unconsciously glanced at Xiao Cong, and said in his heart, but there is a Xi Shi in the eyes of the lover.
The woman listened to Shen Yun's words, thought for a while, and said to Gu Nansheng: "Xiao Langjun, can you go to my house and bring my eldest son." β
Nan Sheng hurriedly responded, taking advantage of this time, several people introduced each other's identities, and also learned that the woman's maiden name Zhen Zhen, is a woman Changsong met in Jianmen Pass, the two fell in love at first sight, private life, after Changsong unfortunately died in battle, she fled with the homeless people, on the way to find that she was pregnant, and finally committed to take care of her all the way to Brother Shao, but also opened a tavern here.
Everyone sighed when they heard what happened to her, and Shen Yun's eyes turned red when they listened to it.
At this time, I saw Nan Sheng bring in a young man in his early twenties from outside, and everyone understood when they saw his appearance.
Sister-in-law Gu sighed: "Oh, when I saw the little official that time, I only felt good-looking, but I didn't think about the lady." β
Zhen Zhen smiled with tears in her eyes: "Xingyun, come and meet your uncle and aunt, as well as Uncle Su." β
Xingyun bowed down to the three of them in a regular manner, Shen Yun saw him, thinking of his brother, he only felt that his liver and intestines were broken, and he couldn't help but hide his face and sob, Xiao Cong's heart was anxious, for fear that she would cry a lot, but he could only gently pat her back and comfort her softly.
Su Huaijin's eyes were also red at this time, and he hurriedly said to Xingyun: "Okay, okay, good boy, get up quickly." β
Zhen Zhen was originally touched by her heart, but when she saw that Shen Yun had cried and fell into Xiao Cong's arms, she looked very weak, so she held back her tears and said: "Qingqing, don't cry, your brother always told me in the past that he couldn't see you crying the most. β
Who knew that as soon as these words came out, Shen Yun cried even more fiercely.
When everyone saw it, they had to persuade her again, she stopped her tears, took Zhen Zhen's hand and began to talk about the past, Gu Sister-in-law saw it and sighed: "The two ladies will rest for a while, go and heat up the meal, and we will have the strength to talk slowly when we are full." β
After saying that, she took Nan Sheng to work on the stove, and the two of them had to stop talking, thinking about their own thoughts.
When Xiao Cong saw it, he pulled Xingyun and said, "Good boy, have you done the crown ceremony?" β
Seeing that Xingyun nodded a little stiffly, he asked again, "Then what are you doing now?" β
Zhen Zhen listened, and didn't wait for Xingyun to speak, but replied lightly: "It's not just for his father to help cook." β
Su Huaijin frowned, "Help the cook?" Why didn't you say that you were going to get a fame? β
Zhen Zhen laughed and said: "I don't know a few big characters, I am blind, what kind of fame will I test." β
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Shen Yun said, "Why haven't you read a book?" β
Zhen Zhen said lightly: "What do you do when you read?" Waiting to be as loyal to your country as your brother did? β
Shen Yun lost his mind for a long time before he muttered: "Sister-in-law is right, it is a blessing to live a life in peace and quiet." β
After hearing this, Zhen Zhen was silent for a long time before she said again: "Qingqing, do you know what your brother said that hurt me the most?" β
She paused for a long time before she said word by word: "I have promised the country, and it is difficult to make Xu Qing." β
