087 It's His Highness who has returned
It is Mrs. Chu, who has recently been promoted to the upstart of the court, who has become an upstart in the recent years, and has become an old and new existence.
For the arrival of Mrs. Chu, Qiao did not dare to slack off, and took out the highest hospitality etiquette.
So, at this time, the two sat on the river behind the Guozijian Guangwen Museum and fished together.
Mrs. Chu, who had gray hair, held a fishing rod in his hand, looking at the water and sighing.
"Chu Shangshu has a happy event recently, why sigh?"
Mrs. Chu, who is still serving as the Taifu, looked painful when he heard this: "Don't read it!" Now, when I hear the word Shangshu, I feel a tightness in my chest, a dizziness, and a thousand pounds under my feet, as if my life is not long......"
Qiao Xianjiu thought for a moment - wasn't this really playing when he was broken by his wife's fishing rod?
It was Qiao sacrificial wine that empathized fiercely.
But Mrs. Chu was fiercely jealous: "...... You and I both entered the court as Jinshike, and we both taught people to read, why are you so lucky, but the old man is so ill-fated? β
Qiao Xianjiu hurriedly spoke to curb the other party's jealousy: "You are my senior!" I am just the light of a candle, how can I compare with you, old lady? β
He also said: "Of course, you are tired, but this time you take over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it is a blessing for the children of the poor families in the world, and it is also a blessing for the people, which is of far-reaching significance...... Among the hundred officials who can take on this important responsibility, who else is you? β
And tried to encourage: "You are also from the imperial examination, and you have long hated the phenomenon of fraud, and now that you have this opportunity, shouldn't you have a fighting spirit and open up the way of justice for the children of the world?" β
Mrs. Chu was silent for a while, looking at the river, I don't know what I thought, there was a sigh in my voice: "It's all this age, what kind of fighting spirit are you talking about......"
After only a moment of deep contemplation, he couldn't help but scold: "What do they have to do with me fighting them? I don't know which bad guy pushed my old man outβ"
After thinking about it, he said, "In my opinion, it's probably that Uncle Wei...... A few days ago, I vaguely felt that this later life always likes to stare at the old man, as if he is playing some bad idea! β
Qiao Xijiu could only comfort: "It's only three years at most, you can boil it......"
Mrs. Chu glared: "Then you have to have a life." β
Those people spoke nicely, and they all hands agreed, as if he had sat on the throne of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, and oh, it was indeed expected...... The long-awaited shield!
They are high, they are great, and they don't take his old man's life seriously!
Qiao Xianjiu smiled: "You have lived in officialdom for a long time, and you have great wisdom, where is it difficult for you to fall for such a trivial matter?" β
As he spoke, he changed the topic: "In my country's prison, it is very good that there are a few students who are going to end the spring festival next year...... Among them, there is a man named Song Xian, I am very optimistic about it in my selfish heart, I don't know if Taifu has ever heard of this person? β
"I vaguely heard a few poems that circulated in Beijing." Mrs. Chu, who was not in a good mood, was very strict: "But Erer." β
Joe choked on the wine.
However, the old lady's blow was not aimed at a certain person: "In my opinion, the students in your national prison are not as good as one term. β
said, giving the basis for saying this: "It's not as good as my student." β
Qiao Xianjiu knew very well who "his student" was referring to, and sighed with a smile: "You want to say Your Highness...... That's not comparable. β
"But that's also a bad guy." Mrs. Chu was indignant: "I also said that in the future, I would buy a mountain forest near the water and support my retirement...... It's all coaxing! β
Chang Suining, who had just approached here with the scholar in the Guozi Prison, heard such a complaint.
Over there, Qiao Xianjiu was already sighing to excuse her: "In that situation back then, His Royal Highness left too suddenly, otherwise he would have promised ......"
Chang Suining was a little ashamed when he heard it.
In the past, she promised too many things, and she simply forgot about buying mountains and forests for the teacher to retire.
"Please wait a moment for General Chang."
Because of the presence of Mrs. Chu, the scholar signaled Chang Kuo to stop, and he stepped forward to salute Qiao Yang first: "General Chang and Mrs. Chang are here to find sacrificial wine." β
Qiao Xianjiu hurriedly looked back, and when he saw Chang Suining who was waiting not far away, he showed a kind smile and beckoned to her: "Come to the third father!" β
As for Chang Kuo on the side, he didn't look at it at all.
Chang Kuo, who was accustomed to it, didn't care at all, and took his daughter forward.
"Mrs. Chuβ" Chang Kuo arched his hand towards the old man by the river.
Chang Sui Ning also saluted.
Mrs. Chu seemed to be concentrating on fishing, but in fact, he had nothing to love, and raised his hand without looking back, just as a courtesy, looking at others as air, and hoping that the other party could also use him as air.
Qiao Xijiu temporarily put down the fishing rod, sniffed his nose, and saw the roast duck in Chang Kuo's hand, and said strangely: "It's coming, why do you still bring something?" β
This is the first time in history.
Chang Kuo let out an "oh" and said, "I bought it on the road, try it?" β
"I happened to be hungry!" Qiao was not polite to the wine, and cleaned his hands in the river, and sat down on the straw mat spread by the river.
There was a small coffee table on the straw mat, and the scholar borrowed a tea knife to divide the roast duck into small pieces, and Qiao Xijiu picked up a duck leg to eat before asking, "Why did you think of looking for me today?" β
Chang Suining only waited for him to ask this, and then he got straight to the point: "Third father, I'm coming-I came here today to ask you to accept me as a student." β
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gave a serious salute.
When Qiao Saijiu saw this posture, where was there anything he didn't understand, he was immediately overjoyed: "Ning Ning, this is finally figured out?" β
Chang Suining was at a loss for a moment - why did he say this?
Qiao Xianjiu got up as he spoke, and couldn't wait to say: "Come on, come on, the third father will teach you to fish!" β
He had already said that he would let the boy learn to fish with him, but every time he mentioned it, his wife would say that he was sick.
Chang Suining looked at him with complicated eyes.
Does he remember what his main business was?
Chang Kuo said with disgust on his face: "Who wants to learn fishing from you?" My daughter is here for you to teach her to read! β
"Reading?" Qiao Saijiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chang Suining: "How can reading be interesting about fishing?" β
Chang Suining: "......"
She just said that this person will only mislead people.
Fortunately, she was not afraid of being mistaken, and boldly asked: "Why can you only choose one of the two, can't you learn both?" β
She admits that there is an element to it.
"Yes, yes, yes......" Qiao Saijiu fell into a struggle for a while.
One thing to say, he didn't really want to take in a student alone, after all, it was really boring.
But he really needs a student who learns how to fish with him!
Seeing his hesitation, Chang Kuo began some identity kidnapping: "As the saying goes, one day is a father, and a lifetime is a teacher!" β
Qiao Xijiu frowned and looked at him: "What kind of common saying is this?" β
Chang Kuo is confident: "My old words are not common words!" β
He also said: "Not to mention that your own daughter is studying, now that you have accepted all the restraints, do you still want to deny it?" β
Qiao Saijiu was puzzled: "When did I accept anything from you!" β
Mrs. Chu by the river rarely had a hint of desire to speak: "Isn't it all eaten in Qiao's sacrificial wine?" β
"......," Qiao Saijiu looked at the roast duck that had been left.
He admits that he was careless.
But this thing can also be used as a binding?
"A roast duck wants me to take in students, what are you daydreaming about?" He looked at Chang Kuo and felt humiliated: "Even if it's your own family...... But even if you want to send it, you have to send it twice! β
"I bought two." Chang Suining looked at Chang Kuo as he spoke.
Seeing that Qiao Yang also looked over, Chang Kuo glared: "It's also tiring to ride a horse!" β
Don't eat a roast duck halfway through!
Chang Suining raised his head and said casually: "Don't blame the third father, I'll make up for it." β
As she spoke, she stretched out her hands to Xi'er.
Xi'er immediately understood, and handed the slingshot first, and then a pebble.
Qiao sacrificial wine looked incomprehensible: "? β
Where did all this come from?
And when he was puzzled, Chang Sui Ning, who raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly and had already pulled out the slingshot, and as soon as he put it in his hand, the stone flew out, and immediately a wild goose fluttered and fell from the air.
The flock of geese that had returned from the south in spring was suddenly scattered.
The goose that was hit fell next to Mrs. Chu and startled him.
Soon a girl came up and picked up the goose: "You are frightened." β
Mrs. Chu looked at her disapprovingly.
This little lady!
A well-behaved wild goose, finally looking forward to the spring day, just flew back, and suddenly suffered this catastrophe - how similar is this experience to him?
As if sensing his disapproval, Chang Sui Ning stretched out his head to look at the fish basket beside him, and exclaimed, "You have gained a lot." β
Mrs. Chu turned his head to look at the few fish that he had caught, and suddenly choked.
This little lady!
It's as annoying as his student, who is good but used to him off and pull his beard!
Mrs. Chu was not an elegant and kind person, so he waved his hand to the girl who was staring at him: "Go, go...... Go to your teacher. β
"Okay."
Chang Sui Ning straightened up, carried the goose to Qiao Yang, and offered it with both hands: "Third father, this is enough for a pair." β
Qiao Xianjiu was stunned, and asked in amazement, "...... When did Ning Ning learn this? β
"I haven't been studying for long, but who called our girl a genius?" Chang Kuo said, patting Qiao Xianjiu on the shoulder: "This is also my own daughter, so I will ask you to get the moon first near the water, otherwise where will such a good student who has no one in a thousand miles get your turn?" Do you think about it? β
Qiao was speechless for a while.
The girl in front of her was holding a goose, still waiting for him to respond.
Qiao Xijiu didn't want to tire the child, so he took it and compromised in his mouth: "It's not a big deal left and right...... If Ning Ning really wants me to teach, then from tomorrow onwards, she will study with Mianmian. β
Chang Sui Ning gave another salute: "Thank you three fathers." β
"But let's just say it, we have to learn both-" Qiao Xijiu finalized the matter on the spot, and invited Mrs. Chu as a witness: "There is Mrs. Lao to help me testify, this girl has promised to learn fishing with me, and she must not go back!" β
Mrs. Chu: "...... Yes. β
I have never witnessed such a bizarre thing in my life.
"As the saying goes, there are priorities, and the same is true for teaching...... Come, Ning Ning, pick up the important things today. As he spoke, Qiao moved another bamboo stool to the river.
Chang Sui Ning could only walk over.
This sat down until it was dark.
Seeing that he was about to miss the time to go back, Qiao Xianjiu reluctantly nodded and let go, and before leaving, he explained that Chang Suining's way of learning is the word diligence, and if he worships the teacher, he can't play with it - it's best to pack his luggage overnight and move over tomorrow.
There is a place for the prisoners to eat and stay in the Guozi Prison, and most of the ordinary doctors and scholars cannot stay in the Guozi Prison, but Qiao Yang, as a sacrificial wine, is the chief of the Guozi Prison, and the affairs required are complicated and irregular, so there is a separate residence in the Guozi Prison.
There is the Holy Book Emperor Teyun, and the Qiao family of four has always lived in the Guozi Prison.
And because Guozijian is not close to the General's Mansion, it will take half a day to travel back and forth, so Qiao Yang and Chang Kuo agreed to let Chang Suining come and stay, and return to Chang Mansion every three or five days.
Mrs. Saijiu and Qiao Yubai's brothers and sisters were overjoyed when they learned of this.
That night, Mrs. Wang, the sacrificial winemaker, didn't care about scolding her husband and going fishing, so she was busy cleaning up Chang Suining's bedroom and preparing bedding and other living things.
Qiao Yubai also quickly added new pen and ink to the study to prepare for Chang Suining to come over.
Qiao's family was busy with anticipation, and on the Chang family's side, Chang Suian learned the news that his sister was going to move to Guozijian to study, only to feel that the sky had fallen.
The nightmare of my childhood resurfaced-
Chang Sui Ning's temperament when he was young can be seen to be introverted and weak, it is said that it is more suitable to be raised in Qiao's family, Chang Kuo and several people discussed, and sent the child to Qiao's family.
But Chang Suian couldn't accept it, and ran to Qiao's house to cry, wanting to snatch his sister back.
Everyone just cried as a child for a few days, and Chang Kuo dragged his son back.
But the next day, just after dawn, Chang Suian ran to Qiao's door and cried and shouted-return my sister.
Chang Kuo dragged people away again, and did not allow people to go out again.
But Chang Sui An can always sneak out, cry on time every morning, rain or shine, more punctual than a crowing chicken.
It's not enough to cry alone, so I took pen and ink and wrote four big characters on the door of Qiao's house.
In the back, the spearhead gradually pointed at Qiao Yubai, who was the same age as him-You already have a sister, why do you want to rob my sister?
Qiao Yubai asked him confidently - the two younger sisters look different, who would think that there are more sisters?
These insatiable words broke Chang Sui'an's heart, and the two became rivals.
But Qiao's family couldn't bear to be disturbed, so they could only return their sister's hands and settle the matter.
But this is the sister who was desperately snatched back by him, and now she is going to Qiao's house again-
Chang Sui was full of reluctance, and he was worried that his sister would not be used to eating and living at Qiao's house, so he tossed and turned and stayed awake all night.
There was a drizzle that night, just as he felt as a brother.
The next morning, when the sky cleared upside down, a few unshaken raindrops hung on the plantain leaves, and the golden sunlight reflected on them, and the leaves became more and more fat and green.
In the mansion of the eldest princess of Chongyue, the jade shavings looked at the banana in the corner of the wall.
When the wind comes, the plantain leaves sway lightly, and a drop of water slides down.
At this time, another female envoy walked out of the courtyard and came to her side: "Aunt Jade Dust, the medicine is decoctioned, go back and drink the medicine." β
Jade Dust nodded in confusion.
She withdrew her gaze from the banana tree, but her expression changed as she touched the marks on the courtyard wall.
She shuddered and walked briskly.
"Aunt Jade!" Two female envoys hurriedly followed.
"It's Your Highness......" Jade Dust suddenly exclaimed: "It's Your Highness who is back!" β
Thank you for your monthly pass and rewards, I'm tired today, and since I returned to my hometown, I've been eating at a big table every day...... Tomorrow I will sort out the list, thank you for your love~
Good night!
