Time came to the second year in a flash, and the atmosphere of the Zhang family was very tense at this time. The Zhang family closed the shop today, and the whole family gathered in the main house of Grandpa Zhang's grandfather and grandma Zhang. Zhang Ye paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, Grandma Zhang prayed to the gods and Buddhas in fragments, Zhang's father poured tea into his stomach cup by cup, and Zhang's mother grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, and looked out frequently. Although Zhang Tao sat on the chair in a regular manner, the action of constantly stirring the handkerchief still revealed her nervous expectation.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Ping Zhang'an ran in, shouting as he ran: "The young master has been admitted to Tongsheng!" The young master has been admitted to the children's school! ”

For a moment, it was as if a big hand gently pushed away the oppressive atmosphere in the room.

Grandpa Zhang was so happy that he took a few steps forward, "Really? It's true? Accepted? He subconsciously asked, "Who got in?" ”

As the sentence 'Who got admitted' landed, the relaxed atmosphere in the main room was paused, and everyone looked at Zhang Ping and Zhang An.

Zhang Ping couldn't take a breath, and finished his words in one breath, "Back to the old lady, the two young masters have been admitted to Tongsheng!" ”

Well, spring is blooming.

Grandpa Zhang said hello a few times in a row, and then took out some copper coins from his body and rewarded them to Zhang Ping and Zhang An.

Grandma Zhang stopped praying anymore, but thanked the gods and Buddhas instead.

Zhang's mother's eyes were filled with tears again.

Zhang Xing and Zhang Tao looked at each other and smiled, the corners of Zhang Tao's eyes were slightly red, obviously very excited. Zhang Xing was also very happy in her heart, the second brother and the younger brother were not only admitted to the children's school, but also meant that their fate was completely different from the previous life.

Zhang Xing instructed people to prepare meals, and when the second brother and younger brother came back from the academy, they would have to celebrate.

In the afternoon, another magpie climbed the branches.

Liu Chengyang came to the door to propose to Zhang Tao.

Since Zhang Xing's family moved to Xinyi Mansion, Liu Chengyang has often visited the door, and every time he comes to the door, he must bring some gadgets, and the Zhang family sees that things are not expensive, so they accept them, and they all think they are bought for Xing'er, after all, there is only one 'little girl' in the family, and Tao'er is a big girl.

Zhang Xing watched the eldest sister play with those gadgets with her heart, and silently memorized the pot.

Because Liu Chengyang brought gifts to the door, the Zhang family often stayed for him to eat. Zhang Xing found that Liu Chengyang often looked at the eldest sister at the dinner table, intentionally or unintentionally, if there was any dish on the table that the eldest sister made, then this dish would basically be contracted by him......

After discovering this, Zhang Xing directly asked him if he had taken a fancy to his eldest sister. I didn't expect him to admit it very shamefully. Zhang Xing was a little speechless for a while, and the ancients who said that they were very subtle?

"Your sister is completely in line with my imagination of my wife, with a gentle and graceful personality without losing her brightness and generosity, and a mellow and sincere way of dealing with people." Then he looked at the sky at 45 degrees, and chanted a poem with a smile on the corner of his mouth to praise Zhang Tao, "The peach is dying, scorching its glory, and it is appropriate to have a room and IKEA." Zhang Xing's flesh shuddered.

Another thing Liu Chengyang didn't say was that when he saw her for the first time, her smile reminded him of his sister, and when his sister laughed, she was also shallow, pure, and the delicate in her smile made people pity, and the clean and beautiful made people cry. When discovered, they will immediately be shy and bow their heads to avoid the sight of others.

After talking to Liu Chengyang, Zhang Xing began to ask his master for his news.

Then, I listened to Liu Chengyang's tragic childhood and his wonderful fate with the prince.

Liu Chengyang was an orphan, and when the prince who went out with the little eunuch first saw him, he was being punched and kicked by two people on the ground. The prince thought that these people were bullying the weak, so he asked the guards who were secretly following him to step forward and pull the two people away.

The little prince said angrily to the two people: "How can you two adults bully a child?!" ”

The two saw that it was a little boy who was dressed extraordinarily and had a few entourages behind him, and his angry expression, which was originally stopped by others, was suddenly put away and became cautious, "This little boy, it's not that we want to beat him, but that he robbed the pastries in our shop." ”

The little prince immediately looked at Liu Chengyang, who had already stood up, he was in tatters, his head was slightly lowered, and he stood there silently, quietly, letting the little prince look at him. The little prince remembered that when he was beaten just now, he was also so quiet, neither resisted, nor did he hold his head to protect his head like he had seen the beaten people before, he seemed to be ...... Hold in your arms. The little prince's eyes fell on the arms he was protecting.

"Is that the pastry you stole in your arms?" The little prince asked at the beginning.

Liu Chengyang was silent.

The little eunuch who couldn't get used to him was about to step forward and scold, but the little prince stopped him.

The little prince turned his head and asked the two, "How much is the pastry he takes?" ”

The two looked at each other, "100 Wen." ”

Liu Chengyang, who had been silent, finally raised his head, his voice was hoarse and sharp, "You are talking nonsense, these two pastries are only sold for 5 yuan in your store." ”

The two who wanted to extort a sum of money suddenly became angry, "We have delayed most of the time because of you, and we have to count the money for this half day!" "In this way, it seems that it really shouldn't be delayed for so long to beat this kid, how many pastries can be sold in this half a day! It's all money! The two immediately regretted it.

The little prince understood the thoughts of the two, but he still asked the little eunuch to give them 100 wen. After sending the two away, the little prince looked at Liu Chengyang again, "It turns out that you can speak!" Why do you take their pastries? ”

Liu Chengyang was silent for a while, "My sister has a birthday today, ......" In fact, at the beginning, he said to the two of them that he would change two pastries for them, but their tone was contemptuous, "What kind of pastries do you want to eat like a little flower?" Let you come to our store, and the customers must not be scared away by you? He was not angry for a moment, so he grabbed two pieces of pastry and ran.

The little prince was also silent, he remembered that every time he was born, the queen mother prepared a full table for him to eat, every dish was carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen, but he never refused to eat well, the queen mother had to hold him for a long time in order to let him eat more, as long as he looked at which dish more, there would be this dish on the table next time. Eat a few more bites of dim sum, and the queen mother will reward the imperial chef who makes this dish......

The little prince cleared his throat, "Lonely...... Can I go see your sister? Seeing Liu Chengyang's puzzled look, he hurriedly said: "I don't have a sister, I want to see what other people's sisters are like, and besides, isn't it your sister's birthday today?" I'm going to bless your sister, it's crowded and lively. "Actually, no, he has a lot of sisters, sisters born to different concubines.

The person in front of him helped him just now, and the sentence of sending blessings to his sister also touched him, Liu Chengyang nodded, and walked towards his house with them.

The little prince stepped up to follow, and the little eunuch behind him could die in a hurry, but he couldn't stop the little prince, so he could only look at the two guards with his eyes, and the guards looked at each other, and they didn't say anything, but followed silently. The little eunuch stomped his feet with a bitter face and ran in that direction as well.

The street in front of him refreshed the little prince's inherent impression of the capital in the past 10 years, his impression of the capital is prosperous and lively, the roads are wide and smooth, the clothes worn by the people on the road are also clean and tidy, and the streets are filled with the cries of hawkers and the bargaining of the people.

It's not like what is in front of you, and the mess is not enough to describe what you see in front of you.

The dark and cramped path was lined with low houses, and from time to time the sound of quarrels and shouts came from the courtyards on both sides, and the little prince felt a gaze from the houses on both sides looking at him, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a retracted head and a closed window.

Little Prince: ...... Is he so scary?

What he didn't know was that for these people who lived at the bottom, even a glance at the nobles was afraid of offending them because of offense.

Liu Chengyang pushed open the door, and asked the little prince to come in a little nervously, but he was a little embarrassed, thinking that he should take away the rainwater jar in the house first, and then clean the house before inviting someone in.

The little prince followed in, and his eyes were dark, as if he had suddenly moved from day to dusk. After getting used to the dimness in front of him, he finally saw the furnishings of the house, the small excessive, the simple excessive, and the dark excessive, the room was full of jars or wooden basins, and the little prince's eyes flashed, and he did not ask what they were for. She only looked at the little girl on the bed, this girl had yellow hair, a sallow face, a pair of big eyes on her thin face, she showed a happy smile when she saw her brother, and then saw the stranger following her brother, she was startled, and then she also showed him a small shallow smile, that smile was delicate and beautiful, like the dew in the morning, innocent and scorching.

Liu Chengyang took out the two pieces of pastries that were already a little broken from his arms and handed them to his sister, the little girl screamed in surprise, and the surprise and pleasure contained in this sound almost made the little prince cry. But the little girl soon said that she could eat half a piece, and let her brother eat the rest with his friends.

Liu Chengyang said that he had already eaten, and the little prince also said that he had eaten enough, and now he was not hungry, so let the little girl eat by herself.

The little prince never knew that he was so patient, so he watched the little girl cherish the deformed pastry and eat it in small bites.

When leaving, the little prince asked Liu Chengyang if his sister was sick? After getting a definite answer, the little prince sighed, "I will help you find a doctor to come over, and I will pay for the expenses, don't be in a hurry to refuse." I can also send you to study, even if I lend you the money, you will pay it back to me in the future when you have the ability. What do you think? Say yes or no? ”

Of course yes, what's the reason not to say yes? Dignity? He is not his ridiculous Xiucai father who is poor and has nothing to eat for his ridiculous dignity and does not go out to find a job.

"Thank you!" Thank you for your kindness today, and I will definitely repay you well in the future, ten times and a hundred times more reciprocated.

Although there was a doctor invited by the little prince, the little girl still did not live past the age of 10, like a flower in the autumn wind, before it could bloom, it had withered.

Since then, Liu Chengyang has become more silent, and he has studied harder, and only in front of the prince will he show a soft expression.

Then, he forged all the way, all the way up, showed his talents, lifted people, and entered the scholars, and he finally walked out of the little house, and left the street that was full of poverty and misery.

He also finally learned the identity of the crown prince. Henceforth, follow, allegiance.

For so many years, he has been single, and there is not even a woman by his side, as if there is nothing else in life except official business, which once made the prince very worried.

But now he doesn't have to worry, Liu Chengyang met Zhang Tao.

A girl he liked at first sight. He approached slowly, carefully flattering, and finally proposed to her today. In the future, he will pity her, love her, and be with her for the rest of his life until he is old.
