Early in the morning, after washing and dressing, Zhang Shou had not had time to eat breakfast when he rushed to the gate because of the message from Ah Liu. He saw that all the children in the village from eight to twenty years old were sent away by their parents and elders.

When he came over, there were nine of them. The big ones were full of longing, and the small ones were full of confusion. He couldn't help but have a headache, so he could only step forward and explain softly.

In the end, he only chose Yang Hao, the second-grandson of the cunning old man Yang, and Qiao Dang, the son of Qiao Hu, a good ground-turner. They were both thirteen years old. They were strong young men who seemed to understand the world, and were obedient and useful.

.

After this matter was completed, Zhang Shou realized that all those who came to apply for the election were boys, not even a naive girl.

When he was packing the books at home, he casually mentioned it to Mrs. Wu, but she gave him an answer that made him dumbfounded.

"Those noble gentlemen in Cuiyun who came to study didn't even bring girls with them. They were all male servants. I think it must have always been like this in the capital. I think this is right. A man should have a masculine spirit and hang around all day long.

What’s going on in the pile of makeup and powder?”

My mother, those guys were all here for Zhu Ying. What would the eldest lady think if she brought a girl here? If there is a trend in the capital that young people are not allowed to take maids before they get married, I guess those group of expensive brokers will

All the children are going to cry...

Although Zhang Shou is angry and funny, his temperament also changed after he went through great changes in his family in his previous life, and his horizons were extremely high. When Zhu Ying, who was lively and wanton in this life, suddenly broke into his life, he was still

Keep everyone at a respectful distance, let alone others.

Now, Zhu Ying's bright and cheerful style has gradually infected him, so much so that yesterday, even a beauty like Princess Yongping, who I felt pity for, looked like a piece of wood to him, let alone an ordinary woman.

If Mr. Wu doesn't want the girl, just let her be. Anyway, everyone will serve her in the future. He will probably stay in the Monk Temple of the Imperial College forever...

Thinking of this, Zhang Shou laughed and blurted out the topic. However, seeing that it was almost lunch time, he finally finished packing his luggage and was wondering whether to set off tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He just listened to the door.

He shouted loudly, and then Ah Liu suddenly appeared in front of him.

"The eldest lady is here."

Zhang Shou was suddenly surprised. The next moment, he saw the door curtain being opened by someone. Immediately afterwards, Zhu Ying strode in. Her red clothes made her even more bright and burning like a ball of fire.

people.

As soon as he saw her forehead that was obviously messed up by the wind, he understood that she was coming not by car but by horseback. He immediately stepped forward to greet her and said with a smile: "I was thinking about going to Beijing tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. What are you doing?"

Are you here? It’s at this moment, the meal hasn’t been served yet at home, are you here just to have a meal?”

"I..." Zhu Ying's face suddenly turned blue and white.

After enduring it again and again, she finally couldn't help it and said angrily: "It's not all because my grandmother lied to me! She said that after I left with Concubine Yu, you still told Eunuch Chu that you didn't want to be that Doctor of the Imperial College.

Maybe I won’t come back after I send you a memorandum of firm words!”

Zhang Shou burst out laughing, and the nostalgia he was about to leave was instantly wiped away. When he saw Zhu Ying glared at him angrily, and then rushed out again like a whirlwind, he quickly looked at her with an innocent face.

Ah Liu said: "Go and have a look and tell Yingying that I shouldn't have laughed at her. I'll cook to apologize to her!"

Although she was very ashamed and angry at first, Zhu Ying was used to doing her own thing in the end. Although Zhang Shou, the Sixth Generation of Ah, came out to apologize, but Zhang Shou was willing to work as a cook for her own sake, she immediately turned her anger into joy. She hurriedly hurried along, slowly,

Hungry, she had a huge appetite for the next lunch and ate a lot. When she put down her chopsticks after finishing the meal, she said something.

"Ah Shou, Aunt Wu, now that everything is packed, let's leave in the afternoon and spend the night in the capital!"

Wu was not so anxious originally, but Zhu Ying's face was flushed, and her eyes were full of energy. Thinking that she must be riding out early in the morning today, she finally nodded cheerfully and said: "That's fine, I might as well choose another day."

Let’s leave today.”

Zhang Shou was dumbfounded, but before he could give a reason to refute, Zhu Ying and Wu turned to look at him at the same time.

"Ah Shou, people leave first, and things can be shipped later! I'll tell Lu Sanlang, Zhang Chen and the others, they must be back home as well!"

"Ah Shou, just listen to Yingying and put on your clothes. It doesn't matter if you slow down the rest."

Zhang Shou sighed helplessly. Well, I won't comment at all...

The arrival of the resolute eldest lady was like a tornado blowing through the whole village. Surprisingly, she did not encounter any obstacles. Although Lu Sanlang originally planned to go back a few days later and live directly in the Imperial College dormitory, the others agreed to escort Zhang Shou together.

In the capital, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree. As for the Yang Qiao family in the village, they were not reluctant at all and immediately packed some clothes to send to their children and grandchildren.

After careful consideration, Qi Liang expressed that he and Zhang Shou would go to Beijing to study together in preparation for the future college examination.

Therefore, before noon, a large group of people had already made preparations. Old Liu Tou and Aunt Liu stayed behind and waited for tomorrow to come with several Zhu family attendants who had packed their luggage. The other dandy boys also left their entourage to pack up their luggage.

, the guards were ready to set off with high spirits. The leading villagers who came to see off saw the team of more than 100 people, looked at each other and roared with full energy.

"Congratulations on sending Dr. Zhang to Beijing, where he will rise to great heights and have a bright future!"

Zhang Shouzheng was talking to Zhu Ying immediately. When he heard this shouting, he was already confused. When other villagers woke up one after another, they actually followed suit. There were also many children shouting without understanding.

He simply didn't know what to say.

When he heard the name Dr. Zhang, his first reaction was that after graduating from college, he didn't want to study and work around, so he was forced by his parents to study in the United States. He was a foreign Ph.D. from Pheasant University, which was not much better than Clayton University.

diploma……

Until he officially set off on the road, Zhang Shou still felt a buzzing in his ears, which was filled with Dr. Zhang's voice. Because later on, not only the dandy boys followed him, but even Zhu Ying also chimed in once or twice when she was happy.

At this moment, he sighed again while riding on the horse, but Zhang Chen's muttering came from behind Leng Buding.

"The young gentleman has become a doctor of the nation, what about the rewards for us people?"

Just as Zhang Shou was about to speak, Zhu Ying was already ahead of him: "After I went to see my mother yesterday, I went to the palace with Concubine Yu to ask for a reward from the emperor! He said that even if the officers and soldiers suppressed the attack, there would be casualties. We

It is a miraculous feat that he was almost unscathed! Therefore, in order to reward everyone for their bravery and strategy, after returning to the capital, the emperor will reward everyone with a banquet in the palace, and then the rewards will be awarded!"

When he said the words "courageous and resourceful", the young master fell silent for a moment.

This...they were overthrown by Zhu Ying's medicine, so they can be considered brave and resourceful, right?

Well, it definitely counts. They also made contributions to the overall situation...contributions that did not hold back.

However, when Zhu Ying finally said that the emperor was going to give a banquet, the crowd suddenly became agitated. Although they were the children of honorable ministers and officials, many of their fathers and brothers in the family saw the emperor every day, but among them, apart from Zhang Chen, he was the only one who was the Duke of Qin.

His son had a share in everything, but the others had only seen the emperor from afar once at most.

Therefore, I don’t know who picked the blame, but the chants of “Long Live the Emperor” were heard from all directions, which made Zhang Shou’s scalp numb. Fortunately, this was not an official road, and the noise did not attract anyone’s attention, but was just a surprise.

There are countless birds and insects in the fields.

All heavy sundries were thrown away in Rongshui Village, and the group had cars and horses, so they did not carry anything small, so they hurriedly walked slowly for the thirty miles. The group finally entered Chongwenmen before sunset.

Even if among the twenty or thirty people, more than half are elders who are Dukes and Dukes, and the other half are those whose elders are third-grade or higher officials, the city gate will not accommodate them. If you miss the time and want to enter the city, you have to sit on tenterhooks.

Hanging basket!

When she heard the long ringing of the bell on the bell tower closing the city gate, Zhu Ying couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then complained: "Back then, Emperor Taizu said that in the peaceful and prosperous times, the gates of the capital should be opened from morning to night. This

This is the self-confidence of a great country. He praised the Song Dynasty for not being able to stop the night, and criticized the Yuan Dynasty’s curfew as reversing the trend. Later, the curfew was abolished, and the city gates were not closed but could not be enforced."

Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh. People who are accustomed to modern nightlife with bright lights naturally hate curfews. But leaving the city gates open, even the capital city gates, is still too advanced in this era, and it is easy for the officials and the people to feel insecure.

However, Zhang Shou had just secretly praised the abolition of the curfew system. When Zhang Shou found that the passers-by on both sides of the road were not busy going home, but were pointing and watching their mighty team of hundreds of people entering the city, he

I feel like I have a headache.

However, it was not over yet. Seeing the curious passers-by gradually crowding the streets to welcome him, he heard Lu Sanlang suddenly shout: "Since we escorted Mr. Xiao to Beijing today to be appointed as Dr. Guozi, we should take it as his own.

After all the good deeds have been done, I sent him directly to the Imperial College to take up his post! Everyone said, right?"

Zhang Chen immediately took the lead in echoing: "Okay!"

Hearing the noble disciples around him suddenly agree to the promise, and seeing Zhu Ying being caught off guard, Zhang Shou suddenly realized.

He has tricked these students who came to his door so many times, and he is indeed getting retribution.
