Since ancient times, women have been "marrying a chicken, following a chicken, marrying a dog, following a dog." If you think about it on the bright side, it is better for Shun Niang to follow her husband to Beijing, and the husband and wife stay with each other, than to stay in Anlu, where the husband and wife are separated.
The Zhang family's father and son came to the house to talk about this matter, also to give face to the in-laws.
Thinking of this, the old lady's face gradually softened, and she said to Dao Chi: "I have lived for sixty years and have never left Anlu City. I really want to go out and see the world through the light of my grandson."
The Taoist Chi said: "Grandma, don't worry, my grandson will definitely make her wish come true."
The atmosphere relaxed. Mr. Zhang twirled his beard and looked at Dao Chi with a smile. He also admired his ambition. He was not greedy for the power of the palace and could look beyond Anlu. For a twelve-year-old boy, it was very impressive.
It's rare...
On the sixth day of September, Dao Chi got up early.
Shun Niang prepared two bags. Dao Chi shook his head and said, "Sister, I forgot. I'll be back home in a few days, so I won't need to bring these things."
Shun Niang blushed, pointed at Dao Chi's forehead and said, "Which one have you forgotten? The other one has a tiger head."
The Taoist Chi was startled when he heard this, then took it and whispered: "Then I'll thank you sister on Hutou's behalf."
Shun Niang didn't notice the strangeness of Chu Dao Chi. She was still shy about the decision to make a final decision in a few days, and said: "If it's cheaper, I'll bring Hu Tou with me when the time comes."
Dao Chi nodded and took Jingzhe out.
As soon as they reached the corner of the street, they saw the clan's carriage approaching. The coachman saw the master and servant of Dao Chi and hurriedly reined in the reins. Liqiu sat on the edge of the carriage, jumped out of the car, and turned around and said something.
The car curtain opened and Wang Qi leaned out half of his body. He dozed off and said, "Get in the car quickly. Why isn't Erlang waiting for my brother at home?"
Dao Chi was used to rubbing against his carriage, so there was nothing he couldn't do. He came out early this morning, but because Shun Niang mentioned the tiger's head, he was a little distracted, so he wandered out of the house first.
"Brother Qi, have you just woken up?" Dao Chi saw that he couldn't open his eyes and asked.
Wang Qi nodded and said helplessly: "There was a lot of wine at home, and my brother came to accompany the wine, so he took a break late."
As he spoke, he stretched and said, "I always feel like the holiday is over in just the blink of an eye."
Dao Chi smiled and said: "Seventh brother, just take it easy. Seventh brother of Wuchang Prefecture has just taken a stroll and is still not satisfied? When will the two clan brothers return to Beijing?"
"Hey, please don't be sore. My brother did it on the spur of the moment, and I didn't mean to drag you down. Third brother, fourth brother, they are afraid of being late and getting cold on the road. They will leave after a few days of rest." Wang Qi said: "I'm really convinced.
When I married my second uncle, I could send my two cousins to prison to take the exam in the capital, but they were sent home. The same thing happened two years ago when the boy took the exam."
Hearing what Wang Qi said, Dao Chi couldn't help but worry. Will the Zhili Township Examination be more difficult than the local examination? The local admission rate of 3% or 4% is already a headache. If it is more difficult in the capital, then
He was a half-way monk, so he really didn't know what he was doing.
The two brothers were talking idlely, only to think that the carriage would arrive at the palace after a while.
Looking at the soldiers at the gate of the palace, all wearing plain clothes, and then looking at those on himself and Dao Chi, Wang Qi said: "Erlang, what exactly are the regulations of the palace school?"
Dao Chi said: "Looking at His Highness's intentions, I have no intention of disbanding the school for the time being. However, I have arranged for Liu Sanlang and the others to study errands. I guess there won't be full-time classes here."
Wang Qi whispered: "This time, you should arrange a place for me."
The Taoist Chi also whispered back: "Brother Qi, don't be anxious, I guess the regulations will be issued today."
The two brothers went to Lequn Courtyard first and saw a few people standing in the courtyard.
Wang Qi and Dao Chi couldn't help but their eyes lit up. One of them was none other than Hu Tou.
Before the Taoist idiot could speak, Wang Qi had already shouted: "Tiger Head!"
When the tiger head heard the movement, he turned around and looked over. The corners of his mouth slowly turned up, showing joy.
"It's really a tiger head! Could it be that His Highness placed you here?" Wang Qi quickly stepped forward and knocked on the tiger head's shoulder.
Hutou smiled, his eyes moved from Wang Qi to Dao Chi, and his eyes became more and more happy.
Although they had only been separated for half a month, Dao Chi felt that it had been as long as several months. When he saw the tiger's head and saw him standing in front of him intact, Dao Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
The person standing next to the tiger head was none other than Chen Chizhong.
Chen Chizhong changed out of his Taoist robe and wore a plain straight robe, accompanied by an unfamiliar boy. Seeing that the Wang brothers were paying attention to Hutou, he smiled and said, "Qi Lang, Er Lang knows Wang Dingshan?"
"Wang Dingshan?" Listening to this unfamiliar name, Wang Qi looked confused: "It's also Wang, who is it? Why haven't I heard of it?"
This time it was Chen Chizhong who was confused, and he looked at Dao Chi.
The Taoist idiot is also reciting the name silently. "Dingshan" doesn't come from the idiom "carrying the tripod and pulling up the mountain", right? Did the prince give it the name?
"Dingshan, Hutou!" It was Hutou who spoke. He faced the Taoist and patted his chest.
Wang Qi suddenly realized it and said: "It's Hutou's new name. It's so impressive. His Highness gave it to him?"
The tiger head grinned and nodded.
When Chen Chizhong heard the conversation, he felt a little uncomfortable. This new person occupied the empty room left by Shen Hexuan. Although he didn't look very smart, he was well dressed and the servants around him were also smart. He just looked at it.
Wearing this attire, you are a martial artist rather than a civilized person.
Is this also the Wang family?
Is the Wang family too arrogant? Two of the six companions are sent, and now the third one is sent, and he is a martial artist. What does this mean?
Just as he was getting angry, Wang Qi had already put his arm around Hutou's shoulders and said to Chen Chizhong: "Boss Chen, this is my little brother from a branch of the Wang family. Now that he has entered the palace, I will trouble you all to take more care of him in the future."
Although Chen Chizhong was unhappy in his heart, he still nodded generously and said, "That's natural. It's just that since we are Qilang's brothers, why didn't we come here together with Qilang?"
Although Wang Qi knew that Hu Tou was brought into the house by the Crown Prince himself, she did not make any publicity at this time and said casually: "I have a lot of things at home these days, and I have neglected my little brother..."
Although Chen Chizhong was in Xuanmiao Temple during these days, he had heard a little bit about the major events in Anlu City. Thinking about it, he understood that there were many things that Wang Qi said. It must be the matter of the two direct grandsons of the Wang family's clan who both won the imperial examination.
At this time, Liu Congyun and Lu Wenzhao also arrived one after another. After hearing what Wang Qi and Chen Chizhong said, they both looked at the tiger's head curiously.
Strong, with a childish face, the clothes on his body are made of good materials, and the young man behind him has good features, but there is something wrong. After taking a closer look, Liu Congyun found that something was wrong. This man was not old enough to have his hair tied, but he did not wear his hair down.
He was wearing a turban, but the stubble of his hair was faintly exposed under the turban.
The look on this head looks familiar. Wasn't it the same when Dao Chi entered the government school last year? Even now, after growing for more than a year, Dao Chi's hair is much shorter than that of ordinary people, hanging down to his shoulders.
Thinking of this, Liu Congyun couldn't help but glance at Dao Chi.
The Taoist idiot had many things to ask Hutou, so he said to Wang Qi: "Brother Qi, my sister asked me to bring something to Hutou. I will go to his house first to have a look."
Wang Qi looked at the Taoist idiot with a tiger-headed look. Although he felt a little sad, he still cooperated and said: "Oh, go quickly, we have to go to class later."
Dao Chi nodded to everyone, and then pulled Hutou into the open room behind him.
In the courtyard, Lu Wenzhao asked curiously: "There are new people coming to the school, besides you, little brother, who else is there?"
Wang Qi touched her nose and said, "I don't know about this. I only know that I am the little brother."
Lu Wenzhao lowered his voice and said: "Okay, how can you add someone for no reason? Is it because I support your position?"
After hearing this, Wang Qi jumped up and said: "Lu Shudai, what are you talking about? I'm doing well, why should I be pushed out?"
Lu Wenzhao seemed to be impatient and said: "Aren't you going to be a guest of honor? Why are you still dawdling around in the government school?" After that, he snorted and ordered the boy to open the door of his room and go into the house.
Liu Congyun said hello to Wang Qi and Chen Chizhong and went back to his room first.
Wang Qi was depressed when she heard Chen Chizhong say: "Qi Lang, when I entered the house this time, I also brought a young man in. Can I let him live in the same room where Jingzhe lived in Liqiu?"
Wang Qi glanced at Chen Chizhong and said, "Why can't we live there? As long as Brother Chen doesn't dislike those two monkeys arguing."
In Lequn Courtyard, there were two rooms for the young man to live in. Chen Chizhong was originally on good terms with Liu Congyun, but he allowed the young man to live with Li Qiu and Jingzhe. What was wrong with him?
Wang Qi took a look at Hutou's house and decided not to disturb it for the time being. The days ahead were long.
It's just that this Boss Chen has become even less cute after not seeing him for a month...
The layout of Hutou's room is the same as that of Dao Chi, and it is right across from Dao Chi's door.
However, there are no books on the desk next to the window. Instead, there are four plain plates, two smaller plates, one plate of melons and fruits, and one plate of candy.
Dao Chi looked at the bed behind the screen. The bedding on it was also new, and there were seven or eight new sets of clothes stacked in the wardrobe.
The Taoist idiot walked to Hutou again and picked up the purse from his waist. In it were about ten pieces of silver, four or five taels, and a few golden melon seeds.
"How is Your Highness treating you?" Dao Chi's voice was so low that it could not be heard.
The tiger head blinked and lowered his voice and said: "Okay."
The Taoist Chi asked: "Does Hutou like this kind of day?"
Hutou said aggrievedly: "You didn't come."
The Taoist idiot said: "Isn't this coming?"
Hutou nodded, looked at Dao Chi, and smiled again.
Dao Chi touched his head and said, "If someone dares to bully you, don't hold back and tell His Highness directly."
The tiger head hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded obediently.
The Taoist idiot glanced at the candy on the table and asked, "How many pieces of candy do you eat every day?"
The tiger's head stretched out three fingers and looked at the Taoist idiot as if asking for reward.
Dao Chi smiled and said: "The tiger head is really good. If you don't want to be toothless like Mrs. Hu, just keep it like this in the future. The snacks in the palace are also very sweet. If you are hungry, you can eat the snacks, but after eating You need to rinse your mouth immediately, otherwise your teeth will be damaged."
Mrs. Hu is an old lady from Wangjiayao. She is about sixty years old. She walks around the village with a cane all day long. Although she is strong and healthy, her teeth are rotten, her mouth is wrinkled, and her speech is leaky.
Hutou obviously remembered this old lady Hu, and showed a bit of fear. He covered his mouth, protected his teeth, and nodded honestly...
