"You have to follow Eye, and don't go with others."

Xiao Aning raised his dark little face, looked at the white-haired old man with blank eyes, hugged him, and cried.

The old man looked at the crying little Aning and sighed in his heart.

In fact, he knows very well that Xiao Aning has been following him since he was born, and it is so easy to separate.

Even if Xiao Aning wanted to leave, he was reluctant.

But.

Going into the city with Qian Yong is not a good place for him to return.

He guarded the field all his life, and when he arrived in the city, he didn't know any rules, he didn't know anything, how to take care of his granddaughter.

Moreover, when I arrived in the city, I was under the fence, and it was still a question of whether I could come back in the future.

He is not young, and he still wants to return to his roots.

The most important thing is that he understands that the four teenagers in front of him are either rich or expensive, and their brother-sister relationship with Xiao Aning is based on living a hard life together, in the end, this relationship is only the result of two or three months, how long can it last in the city?

The old man was still entangled, and Qian Yong's voice sounded again.

"A-Ning, after returning to Chang'an, my brother will send you to study, and you will be able to earn a lot of silver in the future and buy a lot of white noodles for your father.

Even if you want to go back to Liji Village in the future, you are also scholars, and they are not the same as the second eggs at the entrance of the village, they have to guard this field for a lifetime, always farm, and always be farmers. ”

Xiao Aning's crying eyes were swollen, snot and tears were mixed together, and he said loudly: "E, you have to keep guarding Eye, and keep farming!" ”

When the old man heard this, he looked at Qian Yong, then at Xiao Aning, sighed in his heart, and said slowly: "A-Ning, go and pack up and go with your Brother Yong." ”

"Oh no!"

Xiao Aning hugged the old man, crying and shouting.

The old man looked at her distressedly, stretched out his big rough hand, stroked her little head, and said in a calm tone: "Go and clean up, master will go with you." ”

When Xiao Aning heard this, he cried for a while before he realized what was happening and looked up at his grandfather.

"Go ahead." The old man didn't say much, but waved his hand.

"Why don't you pack your bags yet, do you want to stay here alone?"

Qian Yong looked at Xiao Aning with a smile on his face and said.

"Don't! Go clean up! ”

Xiao Aning wiped her tears, sobbed, trotted into the house, and packed her luggage.

When the other three teenagers saw this scene, they looked at Qian Yong with more admiration in their eyes.

I have to say that it is also out of the experience, Qian Yong's growth is much more than theirs.

The perspective of the problem is also different.

They wanted to take little Aning and grandpa into the city, they all knew it with affection and reason, but they didn't know that it didn't mean anything to an old man who was about to die.

really wants to let the two of them enter the city, the key is still on Xiao Aning.

When the old man is old, he thinks about returning to his roots and is reluctant to leave his homeland, which is human nature.

But Xiao Aning is still young, as long as the old man still pretends to be his granddaughter in his heart, in order for Xiao Aning to live a good life, no matter what, he will always make a compromise in the end.

It's a very simple truth, but they don't understand it.

Fortunately, at the end, Qian Yong stood up, otherwise he would not have been able to take away Xiao Aning's grandfather and grandson today.

"Brother Yong, it's amazing!"

Sun Chao looked at Qian Yong and praised him sincerely.

Qian Yong just smiled and didn't speak.

The four teenagers have lived together for less than three months combined.

However, during these three months, they ate, lived and suffered together, and the friendship they established was far greater than that of their usual fox friends and dogs.

Especially after going through the dilemma of being locked up in a dungeon and cornered together, they have been able to trust each other completely.

Because they know that even if they are caught with a knife, the other party will not betray each other.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour later.

Xiao Aning sorted out all the things he could bring.

She also knew that she might not be able to come back for a long time when she entered the city this time.

So even some worn-out pots and pans were taken out.

Sun Chao looked at some things that seemed to be tattered, and wanted to say, "When you arrive in Chang'an, these things will be thrown away sooner or later, and it makes no sense to bring them, so it's better to put them here."

However, before the words could be spoken, they were stopped by Qian Yong.

Because he knows that these things carry Xiao Aning's memories of childhood and this family more than using them, just take them.

Although they carried everything, they had been doing manual work for two or three months, and it was not bad.

"Carry the stuff! Let's go back to Chang'an! ”

Qian Yong tied the pots and pans with hemp rope, carried them on his shoulders, shouted, and walked in front.

When the other three teenagers saw this, they followed suit.

Xiao Aning followed behind them, her dark face full of yearning and expectation for the city.

The thought of endless white flour and meat when she entered the city made her want to drool.

The back of the line.

Only the old man turned his head to look at the dilapidated thatched house, with a look of melancholy and a touch of sadness, and stopped for a while before he followed.

As soon as the autumn harvest was over, the Mingxiu Academy sent people to inspect the completion of the tasks of the students in the T-shaped class.

After the inspection, the qualified students will be taken back to Mingxiu Academy, and they will be given seven days to go home to visit their relatives after arriving at Mingxiu Academy.

During the seven days, the main reason was to consider that there were still some students from all over the country, and the journey back and forth alone would have to be delayed for a lot of time.

For students living in Chang'an, it is only a matter of one or two hours to go home, and there is plenty of time to visit relatives.

Qian Yong and the four of them took Xiao Aning's ancestors and grandchildren back to Mingxiu Academy first.

Here, they met Mr. Rong Haorong, a bachelor of Hanlin University, and listened to his vicissitudes of life, only to feel like a world away, as if these two or three months were a dream.

"Your performance is better than the old man thought, there is no one in the entire T-shaped class who has not passed the assessment, which shows that in the past two or three months, you still have some growth, you should know before you come, Fang Xiang gave you a seven-day leave to visit relatives.

Seven days later, you will return to the academy to continue your studies, and you will still be taught by the original husband, and I hope that you will be able to study well this time, and not cause all kinds of troubles like before. ”

The de facto dean of Mingxiu Academy, Rong Hao, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, waved his hand and let them leave after saying a few words to the students in the T-shaped class.

The students finally returned to the city from the village, and one by one they all returned to their hearts like arrows, and there was no greeting to each other, so they went back to their own homes and looked for their mothers.

For example, Qian Yong, who just said hello to Liu Bin and Sun Chao, returned to Chang'an with Xiao Aning's ancestors and grandchildren.

Qianfu's carriage drove slowly on the concrete road.

Xiao Aning sat on the warm blanket, looking at the street scene of Chang'an through the car window, and didn't dare to blink his eyes, for fear of missing something.

Compared to the markets she had been to before, the prosperity of Chang'an had exceeded her imagination.

She had never imagined that there were such high walls, such flat roads, so many people, and so many things that she had never seen before.

For her, every part of Chang'an City is full of novelty.

With her barren vision, even a dream could not have dreamed of such a city.

Don't say it's her, it's her father, when she saw the magnificent and prosperous Chang'an City, she forgot her hometown for a short time.

Although he has lived for so many years, it is also the first time he has seen such a prosperous city.

When it was almost dark, there were flaming red lanterns on the side of the street, who would have thought that there would be such a thing before coming here?

"Master, A-Ning, when you get to the Qian Mansion, you two live in a courtyard with me, I will tell my father to let A-Ning go to the academy to study......"

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at the old man, and said: "There are many flowers and plants in the house that need to be taken care of, if you can't be idle, help clean up, if you don't want to do anything, just bask in the sun in the yard and clean the house occasionally." ”

"What is reading?"

At this time, Xiao Aning asked in hindsight.

Hearing this question, Qian Yong was stunned.

In a trance, he suddenly realized.

Xiao Aning has never been in contact with books since he was a child, and he doesn't know how to read.

Not only him, but most of the people in the village have never touched books and do not know how to read.

Therefore, in Xiao Aning's consciousness, there is no concept of reading at all.

"It is said that there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, but for the vast majority of people, they can't touch the book at all, how to get the golden house and Yan Ruyu from the book?"

Thinking so, Qian Yong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

On weekdays, I often hear about how hard it is for a poor scholar to work and how difficult it is to gain fame.

But in fact, no matter how a scholar from a poor family is, no matter how he is from a family, a family like Xiao Aning who is really from a poor people, no one really cares at all.

However, in terms of intelligence, Xiao Aning is actually not inferior to anyone at all!

"Dad said that talents are rare, talents are rare, but in fact, there are too many talents buried in my big work."

"If one day, children from poor families like Xiao Aning can also read and learn knowledge, is the court still worried that there will be no talent?"

Thinking of this, Qian Yong shook his head and laughed at himself.

Nowadays, there are still many people who even eat white noodles as a luxury, so let them study, how is it possible!

"Reading is ...... Literacy, when you get to the Qian Mansion, there will be a gentleman to teach you, and when the time comes, you have to listen to the gentleman well, and you can't be like my brother. ”

Qian Yong reached out and rubbed Xiao Aning's head and said with a smile.

Xiao Aning blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "Why can't you be like my brother, is it because my brother is disobedient and doesn't study well?" ”

"Yes." Qian Yong nodded lightly, and many pictures couldn't help but appear in his mind.

He didn't want to study, and his father hit him with a stick.

He practiced martial arts hard, but was reprimanded by his father and said that he had gone astray.

There is also a hopeless surrender to the army, and all kinds of pictures of spending all kinds of time and drinking.

Various images overlapped, constituting the short years since he could remember.

In the end, in front of the yamen of the Ministry of War, his father shouted that he wanted to kill him, and Fang Xiang stood up to stop the picture.

"At the door of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, I want money, and I have to let Fang Xiang relieve the siege, if I have such a son, I am afraid that I will be angry to death......"

Thinking so, Qian Yong couldn't help laughing at himself.

That's when it happened.

The carriage came to a slow stop.

The driver's voice rang out.

"Young Master, we're here!"

"Okay, you go and tell my father, and say that his unfortunate son has returned."

Qian Yong said in a flat tone.

The coachman obviously didn't expect him to say this, and after a few breaths, he replied: "The old slave understands, young master, you wait, the old slave will go and tell you!" ”

............

At this moment.

In the main hall of the Qian Mansion.

Qian Haonan, who was dressed in a scarlet robe, held a book of soldiers in his hand and looked at it attentively and carefully.

On the side, the richly dressed Mrs. Qian Fu was pacing back and forth, her expression expectant and nervous.

"Why haven't you come yet, it stands to reason that it should have arrived......"

Madame Qian muttered to herself as she paced.

After a while, she finally couldn't restrain the anxiety in her heart, looked at Qian Haonan, and said, "Master, why don't you send another team of people to pick up Yong'er, if there are too many people, it's always safer." ”

Qian Haonan looked at the book of soldiers, his eyes were focused, and he said coldly: "That rebel son promised Fang Xiang that he would keep to himself in the Ming Xiu Academy, but what happened?" It was a ...... to cause such a disaster in less than seven days A crow never the whiter for washing herself often!

In my opinion, it is better for him to stay in the country for the rest of his life and never come back, I will not have him as a son! ”

When Mrs. Qian heard this, she glanced at him and said coldly: "Master, you really don't miss Yong'er?" ”

Qian Haonan snorted coldly and said coldly: "If you want money, you have to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and in front of the six departments and Jiuqing, embarrass him Lao Tzu, such a rebel, I am crazy and worried!" ”

Mrs. Qian was not angry, raised her eyebrows, and said, "If the master really doesn't care about this Yong'er, why did he read a page of the military book for a full hour?" ”

When Qian Haonan heard this, his hand holding the book of war stiffened slightly, and fell silent.

No matter what, Qian Yong is also his son, and he is also an only son.

I have been away from home for three months and have not been heard from.

The only bit of news is that he was imprisoned in a dungeon by a black-hearted catcher two months ago.

How can it be possible to say that you don't care?

It's nothing more than a dead duck with a hard mouth.

"Master, don't hold the shelf, send someone to pick it up."

Mrs. Qian walked up to Qian Haonan and opened her mouth to persuade.

Qian Haonan looked at her, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard a voice from outside the house.

"Master, madam, the young master is back!"

The voice fell.

Qian Haonan and Mrs. Qian both showed excitement on their faces.

The difference is that Qian Haonan quickly hid it.

Mrs. Qian walked quickly to the door, and after opening it, she couldn't wait to ask, "What about others?" ”

The servant said: "I was still waiting outside the gate of the house, saying that I would let the old slave come first to tell the lord and the lady, and said that it was ...... The son of the lord and the lady who are not angry has returned. ”

Hear this.

Qian Haonan and Mrs. Qian were both stunned.

"Are you sure it's the young master?" Mrs. Qian was silent for a few breaths and asked.

"Sure!"

The servant nodded heavily and said, "Although the young master is dark and thin, the old slave has been serving the young master for nearly ten years, no matter how dark and thin it is, it can be recognized, not to mention, the voice has not changed." ”

The voice fell.

Qian Haonan and Mrs. Qian glanced at each other, and they could see the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

Obviously, they had no idea that such words would come out of their son's mouth!
