King Ning insisted on returning to Beijing in a hurry, and Xue Ji didn't do much to keep him.

King Ning really hadn't forgotten Xue Chen's reading before leaving, and mentioned it again in front of Shen Yurong.

"If Qingzhi is willing, this child will be taken care of by this king, and he will not let those gentlemen bully him."

Xue Ji didn't answer, turned his head to look at Shen Yurong, waiting for her meaning. Although Shen Yurong was reluctant, he also knew that if his son grew up in Beijing, his future would be different, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked someone to bring Xue Chen to the front hall.

Shen Yurong didn't know how to speak, so Xue Ji squatted down and looked at his six-year-old son, unconsciously put his hand on his fleshy cheek, and asked him softly, "Would you like to let you go to Beijing to study with the prince?"

The unenlightened child was ignorant and didn't know where to listen to what the prince was entering Beijing, and looked up at King Ning who was standing behind Xue Ji, but he didn't know how to be afraid, and giggled: "Reading? Is it nice to have a mother to read?"

This look was too amusing, Xue Ji couldn't help laughing, pinched his little face with two fingers, and then said, "It's not reading to you, it's you who read, and reading can be knowledgeable."

Xue Chen thought about it with his chin around his arms, and said happily, "Then I want to study!"

Xue Ji asked again, "Then if you can't see your mother, will you cry?"

Xue Chen pursed his lips, a little unhappy: "Why can't you see your mother? Can't you see your mother if you are educated?"

Xue Jidao: "Of course not, but you want to go to the capital to study, your mother can't follow you, and you can't come back every day for thousands of miles."

Xue Chen made a bitter face: "But didn't our family live in the capital before, I just go home every day."

Xue Ji couldn't cry or laugh: "Our family doesn't live in the capital now, our family is in Qianzhou now."

The child had never made such a choice, and for him it was the same as the choice between life and death.

"Then, when will I see my mother?"

Xue Ji thought of teasing him, and asked, "You don't want your father at all?"

The child burst into tears: "Then when will I see my father!"

King Ning looked amused on the side and gently pushed Xue Ji.

"Okay, don't tease him, if the child really can't do without his father, forget it, I want to find a way to point a better gentleman from Beijing."

Before Xue Ji could speak, the kid shouted first, "No! I'm not a kid anymore!"

Xue Ji was startled by his son's shout, and turned his eyes back to look at this little face in a little surprise, only knowing that this child was sticking to Shen Yurong every day, and he really hadn't seen him have his own temperament.

Xue Chen held back tears and looked up at people, that look was very cute.

"I want to read!"

In fact, Xue Ji didn't know, this kid had heard a lot of rumors, and since he had beaten the quicksand and left, he had changed the kitchen and the few subordinates came to serve him, and he could always hear the subordinates mention a few words from time to time.

It's just that such a big child hasn't invited Mr. yet, and the son of the Sanpin master doesn't even read.

Xue Chen was brought up by Shen Yurong, he was not mature but very sensible, and he didn't cry to his father and mother when he heard this, so he remembered it in his heart.

King Ning was also slightly surprised, and looked at this kid with admiration.

Xue Chen himself agreed, how could Shen Yurong object? It's just that his expression is a little more solemn, and he clenched his hand: "You can think about it, you can't come back again as soon as you arrive in the capital."

"I've figured it out!"

King Ning took the half-grown child, promised Xue Ji to invite him a reliable gentleman, and after three days, he sorted out the package and prepared the carriage and horses to return to Beijing, but before leaving, he was still not at ease about the suppression of bandits in Qianzhou, and left Xu Yan, who had been with him all the year round, to Xue Ji.

Xue Ji is not familiar with this person, he still has to look at people's faces everywhere and take care of them when he leaves people here, and he actually doesn't want such a person to stay here, but King Ning is concerned about Qianzhou, how can he refuse?

It wasn't until Xu Yan lived by the prefect's yamen for half a month that Xue Ji gradually realized that this person was not as official as he thought

If there is no news of the bandits, he will take the time to see how the academy is built, and if the two of them are free, they can get together to play a game of chess.

It was only June, and the morning heat wave hit him, and seeing Wang Qu approaching in a hurry, Xue Ji put down the chess pieces in his hand.

"What's wrong with being frizzy and hurried?"

Wang Qu wiped his sweat, he had just run all the way, he was hot and tired, and his panting appearance was slightly hideous.

"Master, the academy was completed yesterday, and the gentleman from Kyosato will arrive tomorrow!"

Xue Jixi raised his eyebrows, and raised his head just to meet Xu Yanyun's light and breezy expression.

"Arrived so soon? The prince is really amazing!"

If you want to say that he was worried and couldn't invite a gentleman to Jiangling at the beginning, King Ning's letter was handed back one by one, and everything was ready in just a few days!

"Have you told everyone in the city? How many children do you have?"

As soon as Xue Ji asked, Wang Qu turned around and rummaged around the desk next to him, found a booklet for memorization, and counted them according to his name.

"Back to the master, there are only about a dozen, and there are still two money that have not been handed over, I don't know if I can come."

Xue Ji calculated a little in his heart, and took the booklet from his hand, the dozen or so are not rich families, and Qianzhou can't find any rich families, and the most generous person in the family is still Su Huan.

I was a little taken aback, Su Yu really sent Su Huan to study?

Think about it, what can such a young child do without reading? If you really want to talk about how many rewards of officials Su Yu has received in her pocket, how many young masters who have passed through here have spent a lot of money for her, and it is really difficult for her to study for a younger brother.

Xue Ji somehow fell in love with this child, thinking that he would take a look at it when the class officially started, I don't know how good this child's understanding is, if his brain is flexible, he will be able to get rid of the filth on his body if he takes a fame in the future.

Moving his gaze down a little further, Xue Ji finally remembered that he was looking at the two who couldn't pay the money, but he was a little stunned when he looked at it, these two families are almost the poorest in Qianzhou, and the other families refuse to send their children out to study if they are tight-handed, and they can't wait for the three-year-old doll to be thrown into the field to do farm work, how can these two families......

Xue Ji put the booklet aside and instructed Wang Qu: "Find some plain clothes for me, I'll go and see it."

Wang Qu was still confused, and glared at him: "Where are you going?" Do you want to see the academy? The soil that has just been built is all over the ground, and the waste wood has not been cleared, so you don't have to rush to go."

Xue Ji said, "I won't go to the academy, I'll go to these two houses to have a look."

Without waiting for Wang Qu to understand what he meant, Xue Ji took a plain robe and put it on, turned around and said hello to Xu Yan, went out of the yard and took a detour to the stable to lead his horse out, and with a wave of his whip, he went to the countryside outside the city.

Seeing this, Wang Qu hurriedly followed, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say a few words to Xu Yan. Xu Yan looked at the figures of the two of them leaving in a hurry, and admired King Ning's vision more and more.

Xue Ji was in a hurry, he didn't bring anything with him, he was dressed plainly, and no one recognized him when he arrived in his hometown, but such a white and pure appearance still seemed out of place compared to the farmers who were busy in the fields.

"Where did the young master come from? Looking for someone?"

An old woman was carrying a basket on her arm, and the basket contained a bundle of vegetable leaves, and when she saw Xue Ji leading the horse and standing in the middle of the road, she stepped forward and asked.

Xue Ji is not good at leading the horse down, if he tramples on other people's farmland, he will cause evil, and smiled at people with a slightly embarrassed face: "Grandma, is there a place to tie the horse here?"

The old woman smiled kindly, and pointed to the woods behind Xue Ji enthusiastically, there seemed to be no one in that place.

"We don't have any rich and noble families here, where can we afford a stable, the young master just ties it to the tree, we are all honest, and we will definitely not do anything like stealing chickens and touching dogs!"

Xue Ji is not worried about this, how much can a horse be worth? It would be nice to find a place to tie it so that you don't get frightened and cause a big disaster.

Just in time for Wang Qu to hurry after him, Wang Qu had just reined in the horse, Xue

Then he shoved the reins into his hand and said, "Take them with you, and tie them to the tree."

Wang Qu frowned as if he was hesitating, but was stopped by Xue Ji's look.

The old woman poked her head and looked at the two people in front of her, she was bored with doubts, she couldn't hide her words, and asked bluntly, "The young master is not an ordinary person? How did you get here?"

Xue Jilang laughed and said, "Grandma don't panic, I'm Xue Ji, the prefect of Qianzhou, I heard that there are two children in this village who want to study but can't make up the money, so I'll come over and have a look."

The old woman was taken aback, looked up and down at the plainly dressed person in front of her, and saw that the age was indeed about the same as the rumors, and it was rare to see such a person in Qianzhou, so she believed it steadily. I didn't know whether to be scared or happy for a while, and I was about to kneel down to salute tremblingly, but was stopped by Xue Jiyi and helped up.

"Don't! Grandma, don't be polite, my official authority is to suppress those officials who are acting recklessly, not to oppress the common people, you must not be like this."

The old woman looked a little excited, holding Xue Ji's hand tightly, and kept chanting: "My wife has never seen a third-grade master in her life!" My lord...... Oh yes, my lord is here to meet the two children in our village, and I'll show you the way!"

As he spoke, he enthusiastically pulled people to the field, and Xue Ji was afraid that he would stumble on the agricultural materials in other people's fields, so he shouted to slow down.

The old woman took him into the village, and the old man at the entrance of the village sat under the tree to enjoy the cool fan, and when he saw such a person coming near, he was stunned for a long time.

The old woman rushed at the people and said, "This is Lord Xue, the prefect, Lord Xue has come to see the two dolls in our village!"

Xue Ji let the people look around, the embarrassment on her face couldn't be stopped, and she finally let go of her hand when she reached the door pointed by the old woman, and said to Xue Ji with a smile on her face: "This is this, his child wants to study for a long time, but he can't make up the money!" There's another one in the back, you see......
