In this way, by the time Li Xuan and other convoys returned to Lijiazhuang, it was already eight days later.
Within these eight days, the ten carts that Zheng Fu had vacated were all filled with scholars.
Fifty-two scholars in total!
"The king is back!"
"The king is back!"
As Li Xuan's motorcade entered Zhuangzi, the entire Lijiazhuang immediately became lively.
After hearing the sound of the king's return, all the bankers ran out of the house with happy faces and lined the streets to welcome him!
After Li Xuan got off the car, he saw a young man holding a big wooden stick standing in front of the motorcade, leading a group of teenagers dressed in the same clothes, "Haha" in front of the motorcade!
"..."
Li Xuan was speechless.
"My child welcomes Aye back to the village!"
Li Chenglu knocked on the ground twice on each side, then thrust the wooden stick in his hand that was twice his height into the ground and handed it to a little leather monkey beside him.
Then, he rushed towards Li Xuan with a smile on his face.
Li Xuan also had a smile on his face, and he rubbed Li Chenglu's head with his hands for a long time, and then asked: "You little brat, why are you still fooling around outside in the winter? Don't you think your hands are cold?"
"Hey, Aye, I don't like Lu'er being too noisy in the room. She often makes my second brother cry, so she won't let Lu'er play in the room!"
As he said this, Li Chenglu looked aggrieved.
"Tch, you brat, you dare to play tricks on Ye Ye. If your mother doesn't let you play in the main house, can't you go to other houses?"
Li Xuan sneered, not being fooled at all.
"Hey, Aye Yingming..."
After his little thought was revealed, Li Chenglu smiled awkwardly, then tilted his head and looked at the long line of carriages behind Li Xuan.
"Aye, are all these carriages brought back by Aye from the barbarian land of Tuyuhun?"
"Um?"
Li Xuan was startled and looked at Li Chenglu with some surprise, "How do you know that these carriages contain property?"
"It's not property. How could Aye drag them all the way back to the village from Tyuhun?"
Li Chenglu looked up helplessly and glanced at Li Xuan.
Then, I saw the scholars getting off the carriages at the back.
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes again.
"Aye, these people are also the property you brought back?"
"Fart, how can a person be property?"
Li Xuan's brows jumped and he scolded directly.
"Aye, Lu'er is wrong!"
Li Chenglu quickly admitted his mistake.
"Um!"
Li Xuan's expression softened slightly and he explained: "No matter who they are, we must respect them!"
"Aye, Chenglu understands!"
Li Chenglu responded quickly.
"Okay, I'll go into the house later!"
Li Xuan didn't educate Li Chenglu too much and went straight in.
After being away from home for so long, I still miss those people in the house.
Seeing Li Xuan go in directly without even looking at them, Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and other scholars immediately stopped in their tracks, some looked at each other with some uneasiness in their eyes!
On the contrary, Wang Xuance, Li Baoding and others have become somewhat accustomed to it.
He chuckled lightly to the scholars and said, "Don't worry, the king has been away from home for so many days. The first thing he will do when he comes back is to meet the princess.
Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, when the king is free, he will summon you!"
"Thank you two gentlemen for clarifying my doubts!"
Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and other scholars quickly raised their hands and saluted.
At this moment, the housekeeper Li Chang also noticed the situation here and came over.
"I've met King Huaiwei, I've met Wang Langjun!"
"Old housekeeper, don't be too polite!"
Li Baoding and Wang Xuance quickly returned the gift.
"King Huaiwei?"
Hearing the steward's address to Li Baoding, Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and the other scholars were all shocked again.
They never thought that Li Baoding, who followed King Jin like an ordinary rich boy along the way, was actually a county king!
"We are so blind that we don't recognize noble people. Please forgive me, King Huaiwei!"
"There is no need for this, I am the same as you all, just an ordinary student in Lijiazhuang!"
Li Baoding waved his hand casually. In Lijiazhuang, he had never treated him as a county king.
Then, without waiting for the scholars to salute again, he introduced them again: "This is the king's steward, that is, the chief steward of the entire Jin Palace. All your affairs in Lijiazhuang will be arranged by steward Li!"
"I've met Butler Li!"
Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and the other scholars quickly saluted Butler Li.
Li Chang looked kindly and said, "Good morning, gentlemen!"
"Steward Li, these young men are all scholars that the king met on Cement Avenue when he came back. They came to Chang'an to prepare for the spring exam. They were favored by the king and joined the king's family. Please ask the housekeeper to arrange some accommodation first!
"
Li Baoding and Wang Xuance said again.
"It turns out to be the young man who came to take the spring exam. I am disrespectful and disrespectful!"
The smile on Li Chang's face became even bigger.
“The housekeeper is so polite!”
All the scholars hurriedly expressed their courtesy again.
Li Chang straightened his expression, straightened up and said, "Since all of you are scholars, you can live in the scholars' dormitory next to my Lijiazhuang Academy!"
"Scholar dormitory?"
Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and other scholars all had doubts on their faces.
"It is just a room specially built by your Majesty for scholars and Confucian scholars. There are a hundred rooms, and you can all stay in it."
Li Chang explained.
"So many rooms?"
Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and others were shocked when they heard this, but at the same time they finally felt relieved.
It seems that their treatment in Lijiazhuang should not be much different.
"You gentlemen, please come with me."
Li Chang chuckled and walked straight to the side of the courtyard.
Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and other scholars quickly followed.
"Young men, this area is the house where the farmers live in the village...and those large and contiguous rooms are the king's forge, brewery and other workshops, as well as some warehouses and the like. Most of them are
There are personal guards guarding the door. Generally, you are not allowed to approach without the permission of the king!"
While walking, Li Chang introduced.
"The other one is the martial arts training ground in the village. It is a place where the king's personal guards and the group of brats in the village practice martial arts. You may not be interested..."
Qiu Shuye, Cen Xugang and other scholars were shocked and dumbfounded.
The houses that those farmers live in are all built with solid cement?
Moreover, they are all so neat and delicate?
This is not a remote small village. The residences of these farmers are simply more luxurious than the homes of the wealthy families they have seen!
As for the forging workshops and martial arts training grounds that Li Chang mentioned, the scholars did not show any curiosity.
After seeing the houses where farmers live, they are full of expectations for their own houses.
As scholars, they should live in better houses than those vulgar farmers!
