The stars are dotted and the Milky Way is drifting.

When Kong Ying returned home, it was already late, and when she opened the courtyard door, a middle-aged man in a black shirt sat quietly on the rattan chair in front of the door, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and there was still a cup of steaming warm tea in his hand.

"Coming back?" The man opened his eyes and said, getting up at the same time, picking up the candlestick at hand, "Let's rest early when you come back." ”

"Dad, don't be in a hurry to leave, I have something to ask you." Kong Ying ran up to stop his father, the descendant of the Kong family and the next head of the Kong family - Kong Zhangxi.

Kong Zhangxi looked at his girl and gently touched the little girl's head, "Is it another matter for me to accept Ning Song as an apprentice?" ”

Kong Ying blinked her big watery eyes and nodded, "Brother Song really likes to read, and he really wants to learn these classics, the most important thing is to give it to someone who doesn't want us to practice cheats, Daddy, this is really not too much to ask." ”

"Ning Song knelt at the door of the courtyard for his father, and saw his sincerity; Moreover, he has a deep literary foundation, and he also has a deep attainment in scripture and history, and his talent is higher than that of some descendants in the sect, but ......" Kong Zhangxi shook his head helplessly.

"But what?"

Kong Zhangxi let out a long sigh, "The Kong clan is not only us, but also your true Dao grandfather and true knowledge grandfather, if your father breaks the rules today and accepts Ning Song, then they will definitely use this to suppress us, our first-line disciples are already few, and they can't stand the toss." ”

After hearing this, Kong Ying pouted indignantly, "If Grandpa Zhenxuan was here, it wouldn't be like this." ”

"Silly girl, there are some things that my father can't do if he wants to."

Kong Zhangxi looked at the stars above his head and said slowly: "By the way, there are some scriptures that I copied myself on the table in my study, you can find a time to send them to Ning Song." ”

"Dad, the scriptures on your desk are all our Kong's classic books and articles, can't they be passed on?" Kong Ying said in surprise.

"As my father said, Ning Song has excellent talent, and in the future, he will definitely be able to shock the literary world, if such a genius is suppressed here, my conscience will be uneasy."

Kong Zhangxi smiled, "If you don't let me accept apprentices, then I won't accept them, instead of letting him rot in the library, it is better to let them exude greater value in capable people." ”

Kong Ying looked at her father, and her eyes turned red when she looked at it, "Dad, you are really wronged for Confucianism." ”

"Hahaha, don't be wronged, Confucianism can't be planted in my hands, when your grandfather comes back, I will give him a brand new Kong."

This is Kong Zhangxi's wish, and it is also the direction he has worked hard for all his life.

The stars are shining on the top of the head, the begonia flowers are blooming beside him, the fragrance of flowers is endless for 300 miles, and the stars are not extinguished for 3,000 days.

His name is Kong Zhangxi, the future head of the Confucian family of Kong.

……

Three days later, a breeze blew, and the scent of begonia flowers in the air was extraordinarily strong.

Mrs. Ning and Ning Song stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at this small courtyard where they had lived for half a year, Mrs. Ning couldn't help but feel a little reluctant, as she got older, her feelings were naturally sensitive.

"Mother, the carriage has arrived, get in the car."

Ning Song carefully supported Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Ning was just about to board the car, Kong Ying rushed over at a trot with a package on her back, "Mrs. Ning, Brother Song, don't hurry to go first, I have something for you!" ”

"Xiaoying?" Ning Song looked at Kong Ying in surprise.

Kong Ying ran all the way, tired and panting, her forehead was full of beads of sweat, "Madam, Brother Song, why did you leave so early?" Didn't you leave at noon? ”

"We have been bothering the Kong family for a long time, and we don't want to cause any more trouble to Mr. Kong, so we decided to leave earlier." Mrs. Ning smiled.

Xiao Ying nodded, and threw the package behind her to Ning Song, "Brother Song, this is what my father asked me to hand over to you, and at the same time let me tell you not to make a noise." ”

"What is this?" Ning Song said curiously, and was about to open the package immediately.

Kong Ying hurriedly stopped, "Oh, what are you doing in such a hurry, it's not too late to wait until you get out of Qingzhou." ”

Mrs. Ning smiled helplessly, "Song'er, listen to Xiaoying." ”

Ning Song obediently picked up the package and bowed to Kong Ying, "Thank you, Miss Kong." ”

"Xiaoying, go back quickly, tell Mr. Kong, thank you for taking care of me for half a year." Mrs. Ning looked at Kong Ying and said reluctantly.

Kong Ying nodded vigorously, and reluctantly watched Mrs. Ning get into the car, and after Ning Song said goodbye, he also got in the car and left.

"Brother Song, will you come to me again?"

Kong Ying shouted, shouting and shouting, tears fell out.

Ning Song turned around and looked at Kong Ying, who was red-eyed and shedding tears, a little unbearable, and then shouted, "I will definitely come to you!" ”

"Okay, then I'll wait......"

Begonia flowers bloom, this spring, the girl's heart is moved, and the teenager rides out of Qingzhou.

On Qiancheng Mountain, watching the Ning family's carriage and horses getting farther and farther away, Kong Zhangxi breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sighed helplessly. The white-clothed disciple beside him said puzzledly, "Uncle, why are you sighing?" ”

Kong Zhangxi shook his head, "It's nothing, Lu Yan, let's go, let's go home." ”

On the way back to Yindu.

Seeing that he was out of the Qingzhou boundary, Ning Song couldn't wait to open the package that Kong Ying gave him, and this opening shocked his eyes.

What catches your eye is a bouquet of begonia flowers, under which are five or six books, and when you open them at will, they are all hand-copied and the font is square.

"This is "Slimming"" Ning Song said in astonishment, and then turned to look at Qingzhou behind him, "This is ...... Mr. Kong. ”

Although Kong Zhangxi did not agree to accept him as an apprentice, he copied all the Confucian classics and gave them to him.

This friendship, how can Ning Song not be moved in his heart, and this begonia flower, it seems to be saying, Ning Song, remember what you said, you must come to me.

Ning Song put away the package, the corners of his mouth curved, the begonia flowers were very fragrant and beautiful, but the silly girl who showed two small tiger teeth when she smiled was even more beautiful.

……

Yindu.

In the palace, Gao Zhen quietly listened to Han Zhongxuan's report behind him, his brows furrowed.

"Have you found out Song Jing's situation?" Gao Zhen frowned and said.

"This time is too long, as for why Song Jing appeared in Ning Mansion, the old slave will still need some time." Han Zhongxuan bowed his head and said.

"Hurry up and check, and the old man next to Ning Xiaochuan who knows Confucian exercises, you have to check carefully, and see if Confucianism is involved in the affairs of the Ning family." Gao Zhen paced up, a little displeased.

Han Zhongxuan hurriedly said: "This old slave has been investigating, and he already has some eyebrows, this person is indeed a person from the Kong family in Qingzhou, named Kong Zhenxuan, but he was expelled from the house by the head of the Kong family ten years ago, and then there was no news. ”

"This Ning Zhi is really an old fox, anyone can be recruited by him, he is both a Confucian and a Zongheng family......"

Gao Zhen's face was a little ugly and said, he didn't have such a means as an emperor, can he be happy to hear this news?

After Han Zhongxuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you take care of the dragon body, don't be angry, just leave this matter to the old slave." ”

"Hmph, if you had been useful, there wouldn't be what you are today!"

Gao Zhen couldn't help frowning and said: "And Ning Xiaochuan, this person must be watched, he can use the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, he is not an ordinary person, but it is easy to ask the gods to send the gods, the wolf is gone, but what should he do with this tiger, I am quite curious about what he will do next." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Ning Xiaochuan's every move is under the surveillance of the old slave, and if there is anything unusual, I will report to you immediately." Han Zhongxuan arched his hand and said.

Gao Zhen nodded and rubbed his sore temples, "Okay, you go down, I've worked hard for you this time." ”

"For Your Majesty's worries, the old slave should work hard."

……

On the banks of the Fu River.

Ning Xiaochuan lay at the head of Wen Zhaomin's bed, listening to Nie Hongyi's words next to him, "Young Master, those people who are following you have a high level of martial arts cultivation, whenever I want to find them, they will disappear, please forgive me, my subordinates really have no way to take them." ”

"There is no need to apologize, Miss Nie, you have done your best, after the first battle in Jiangbei Town, these people have been following me, but they have not attacked me, so I am thinking that they must have another purpose in doing this."

Ning Xiaochuan got up and said, "At first, I thought they were sent by Lei Kangshan, but now it seems that it is obviously not, and it is very likely to be related to the royal family." ”

After saying this, Wen Zhaomin next to him was directly startled, and Ning Xiaochuan continued: "But I don't like to be followed like this, I must find a way to deal with these tails......"

Looking at Ning Xiaochuan's serious expression, Wen Zhaomin couldn't help but feel a trace of fear, and Nie Hongyi arched his hand beside him and said, "Young Master, please command, what do you need me to do." ”

Ning Xiaochuan pondered for a while, "It's not in a hurry now, they like to follow, just let them follow." ”

"Understood." Nie Hongyi retreated, jumped out of the window, and soon disappeared into the night.

Wen Zhaomin took a deep breath and came to Ning Xiaochuan's side with tea, "Ning Gongzi, have you really offended the royal family?" ”

"That's right, and it's the prince who offends." Ning Xiaochuan smiled and got up to take the tea.

"In life, it is impossible to be perfect in everything, some things you must do, and some you must offend!"

Wen Zhaomin bowed his head and was silent, if he thought that Ning Xiaochuan was a pretending to be a big son, now it seems that Ning Xiaochuan is not only a son, but also an unusual son.

Ning Xiaochuan got up slowly, and suddenly, one hand gently lifted Wen Zhaomin's chin.

This move couldn't help but make Wen Zhaomin's heart beat faster, his face turned red instantly, Ning Xiaochuan looked at Wen Zhaomin, and said softly: "The tea is cold." ”

"Ah...... Oh, I'm going to change it. Wen Zhaomin was stunned for a moment, then turned around and hurried to help Ning Xiaochuan change the tea.

The corners of Ning Xiaochuan's mouth rose, this is a rare relaxation, after today, I don't know if I can come here tomorrow.

This prince has not moved for so long, Ning Xiaochuan has a bad premonition, and always feels that the prince is brewing a ruthless move, and this move is very likely to make him unable to parry.

Now Ning Xiaochuan couldn't help but start to miss Ning He, if his eldest brother was here, he might be able to relax a little more.

With his fists clenched, he is a royal family, and his work is not so glorious......
