The Pursuit of Lin An Chapter 17(1/2)

Huang Huang thought for a while and then came to the table.

Zhu Chengyu was also very discerning and quickly followed him to study the ink.

I saw that Emperor Yu picked up a large pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote four big characters on the rice paper: "Sangshan Academy".

"Sangshan? But that's the horse racing field..." Zhu Chengyu looked at it intently and said in surprise.

"Well, that's it. The horses can be raised in another place. These students are Dayu's hope,"

Emperor Yu dropped the pen and nodded with satisfaction, "And the houses in Sangshan can be used immediately with a little repair."

"Then, son, please write a letter to reply to your second brother first?" Zhu Chengyu held up his hands and wanted to leave.

"Well, by the way, the letter should be written tactfully and not too openly. Just write it as hard as you can..."

"My son knows!" Zhu Chengyu smiled secretly.

"Okay, go ahead, go ahead,"

Huang Huang held the bookcase with both hands and admired the big characters on the rice paper, "As for the preparations for this spring, if you are more careful, there will be some good ideas this time."

Zhu Chengyu bowed his hands respectfully, and with excitement, slowly exited the imperial study room.

...

Shen Xingliu looked worried after leaving the camp.

"Xingliu, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that they were almost reaching the town, Tang Xuanxuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

Shen Xingliu was interrupted from deep thought, and raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, "Oh, Xuanxuan, what did you ask just now?"

"Are you sick?" Tang Xuanxuan touched his forehead, "Or have you been burned to death?"

"Hey, I'd rather be a fool,"

Shen Xingliu held her little hand and said with a smile: "I was just thinking whether it was right or wrong to hand over these children to His Majesty."

In fact, the two of them knew very well that His Majesty would definitely agree to be the dean. After all, the students who came out of the academy were the emperor's disciples.

Compared to other students from aristocratic families, he has better control.

"Well, no matter whether it's right or wrong, at least we tried our best, and it's hard for Third Uncle to directly manage these children. As for daily matters, the Tang family still has to take care of them,"

Tang Xuanxuan squeezed his hand and comforted him: "I believe Third Uncle will treat them well."

"Yeah, I hope I'm overthinking it,"

Shen Xingliu smiled bitterly and nodded, saying: "I hope that after Third Uncle has dealt with those aristocratic families and veterans of the previous dynasty, he can let these children go and not treat them as abandoned children."

Regardless of the outcome, what can be expected is that after this incident, a new storm will inevitably come to the court!

After entering the town, Shen Xingliu remembered something important.

"That Xuanxuan, there is something important that I need you to talk about..."

Tang Xuanxuan's whole body was shaken, and she felt guilty in her heart: "What are you doing? It's definitely not a good thing. Don't look for me!"

After saying that, he slipped away as if running away.

...

A quarter of an hour later.

Come to the inn room.

Shen Xingliu finally convinced Tang Xuanxuan.

"Hongdou is also a poor person. After finally getting out of that high wall, are you going back again?" Tang Xuanxuan sat blankly for a while, then stood up, took a long breath, and went out.

This matter must be decided by Zhu Miaodou herself. If she does not go back, even if she resists the order, they will take away the fifty-five children by force.

"Knock knock knock..."

Arriving outside Zhu Miaodou's room, there was a knock on the door and a pleasant female voice came from inside the house.

"Who is it?"

Tang Xuanxuan whispered: "It's me..."

Probably after hearing who it was, the door opened with a whoosh, revealing a smiling face.

Although it was getting dark, Zhu Miaodou still didn't go to bed. "Sister Tang, you are back. Come in quickly. Come in quickly. There are still many things I don't understand about the medical book you gave me..."

While talking, the two entered the house.

There was a candle on the table, and six medical books were placed neatly, with a number of notes in each book.

Since reading these medical books, it seems that a new door has opened for Zhu Miaodou.

After Tang Xuanxuan sat down with her, she answered her questions one by one, but whenever she wanted to talk to her, she stopped talking.

"Sister Tang, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting weird..."

It was okay to do this once, but after two or three times, Zhu Miaodou was still aware of it.

"Hongdou, since you found out, I won't hide it from you," Tang Xuanxuan bit her lips and said softly.

When she heard that her father pardoned the children, she was really happy, because he was worthy of her father.

But when Zhu Miaodou knew he was going back, he seemed unusually calm. He was not as noisy as he imagined. He just gently clasped his little hands and lowered his head to think about something.

"Hongdou, how about I go talk to Third Uncle? After all, Third Uncle Jinkou Yuyan promised to let you go to Lin'an together..."

"Well, no need," Zhu Miaodou raised her head and smiled: "These days, I am already very happy to be able to travel with Sister Tang, and I have also found a career that I can work for my whole life."

"If I can save those children, then I am willing to go back."

Having said that, from the tears oozing from the corners of Zhu Miaodou's eyes, I knew that she still wanted to continue the journey.

The two women hugged each other and sobbed softly. Outside the door, Shen Xingliu crossed his arms and leaned against the door, not knowing what he was thinking.

After the crying subsided, Zhu Miaodou wiped her face, stood up, opened her arms, and said with a happy smile: "After I go back this time, I will collect all the medical books in the world and compile them into a canon for the benefit of the world..."

"Sister Tang, do you think I can do it?"

This dream really frightened Tang Xuanxuan. There were so many medical books in the world that even she in Yaowang Valley dared not say that she had collected all the medical books.

But she still wiped her tears and nodded: "I believe you will succeed!"

Immediately, the voices of the two women asking and answering came again in the room, which lasted until dawn before disappearing.

...

About early in the morning, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the inn.

"Princess Lejia, it's time to return to the palace." Eunuch Hou bowed to the second floor and called softly.

After a while, Tang Xuanxuan supported Zhu Miaodou, who was neatly dressed, and walked out slowly.

As for the young bird's opinion, it doesn't seem to be that important, just take it away by force.

At the carriage side, Shen Xingliu and his party bid farewell to Zhu Miaodou and Zhique.

There were some civilian traders in the distance, and then they realized that the person they were chatting and laughing with yesterday was actually "Princess Lejia" of Dayu Kingdom.

"These six medical books were originally given to you!" Tang Xuanxuan looked at the books wrapped in cloth and pushed the books back with a smile.

"So, my little sister will accept it,"

Zhu Miaodou smiled happily and bowed to the two of them, "Brother Shen, Sister Tang, I'm leaving."

The two looked at each other, clasped their fists and said, "Take care along the way."

"There's still me..." the chick raised her hands aside and shouted.

But Xiaolang smiled and took it in his hand, "Hey, when you go back, if someone dares to bully you, I will teach you the moves to beat them."

"Yeah, beat him!" Xiaoque nodded. He didn't know what kind of moves he had learned. He hoped he wouldn't get bad at it.

The three of them smiled helplessly.

Zhu Miaodou took the young bird's hand, got into the carriage and left slowly, escorted by Longxiang Guards.

After bidding farewell to the two of them, the group set off again, less than half way to Lin'an.

After several days of hard practice, Little Wolf can now perform "breaststroke" without relying on ropes and boards.

It's just that the movements are a bit ugly, but the speed is not slow at all.

...

After another day and night of sailing.

In the evening of the second day, they arrived at Ji County, under the jurisdiction of Lin'an Prefecture. After a series of official reforms, the people's livelihood along the way had recovered.

Shen Xingliu planned to rest here for the night. If he went on another day tomorrow, he might be able to catch up with the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Lin'an Mansion.

I had no luck seeing the Yudu Lantern Festival, but I couldn’t miss the Lin’an Mansion Lantern Festival.

There is a dense water network in Ji County. The boat left the Grand Canal and followed the river through the Shuicheng Gate and entered the city.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems that there are too many martial arts people coming and going in Ji County.
To be continued...
