Chapter 245 If this goes on like this, the country of Daqi will end

Wang Tiezhu swallowed his saliva and touched his wife's elbow, "Daughter-in-law, give me two taels of silver when you go back later."

"What do you want the money for?"

"I want to buy some cloth strips and embroider them with the words 'The number one scholar is coming to Yanghua Village' and hang them all over Ningyang County!"

When the time comes, people in the streets will whisper when they see him: "Look, that's the village chief of Yanghua Village. He's so awesome that he even knows the number one scholar!"

What a beautiful picture.

Wang Tiezhu laughed out loud and his arm was pinched. The village chief's wife winked at him anxiously: "The number one scholar is talking to you, why don't you squeak!"

Wang Tiezhu's mind didn't turn around and he immediately called out "Zhi Zhi" twice.

This made everyone laugh.

Wang Tiezhu also reacted, his face suddenly turned red, and he asked Su Zhi awkwardly: "I wonder what the No. 1 Scholar's orders are?"

Su Zhi suppressed a smile and said: "I asked you to get up, stop kneeling, and others will get up too. I resigned from office two years ago and retired to seclusion. Now I am an ordinary person. There is no need to kneel."

"Also, please keep my identity a secret. I'm getting older, so I just want to find a place to read and retire. I don't want to be disturbed. I hope you can understand."

Wang Tiezhu was crying in his heart for the banner that had not yet been hung up, but he smiled attentively on his face, "Don't worry, Mr. Number One Scholar, we will keep it a secret for you!"

As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the villagers, "Did everyone hear this? You are not allowed to talk nonsense about today's events. Anyone who dares to speak out will be going against the entire Yanghua Village!"

"Especially you, Wang Xiucai, just stay at home and guard your reputation as 'Master Xiucai' for the rest of your life! Don't go out and play around, no one in Yanghua Village will care about you!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Xiucai had already covered his face and ran away. He fell down halfway and even lost his front teeth without daring to say a word.

After the small episode, everyone continued to move things and move benches. In less than half an hour, the new home was packed.

At noon that day, Mr. Yang took charge and invited the villagers to have dinner at their new home. The villagers did not eat for free. They gave them wine and meat, and they barely moved their property.

The kitchen was steaming with steam, and the two old friends in the main room were chatting animatedly.

Su Zhi drank a glass of wine and gave Fang Zhenshan a thumbs up, "Brother Fang, you are really good at hiding. It's been ten years and you haven't even shown up. It's a shame that I go to you for a drink every Qingming Festival.

I have been drinking and feeling lonely for so many years.”

Fang Zhenshan laughed loudly: "Isn't this forced? If I don't hide it carefully, if the Bai family finds out, I will really be embarrassed."

Thinking of the tragedy of that year, the smile on Su Zhi's face disappeared. He drank a glass of wine and said sadly: "A generation of generals has been a villager in the countryside for ten years. What a pity, what a pity!"

"I don't feel it's a pity." Fang Zhenshan held the wine glass and smiled slightly, "Look, I have a wife, a daughter, and several grandchildren to accompany me now. I am in good health and have no shortage of money. This is no better than living on the frontier, haha.

Are the days happier?”

"From what you say, you don't plan to go back?"

"I won't come back!" Fang Zhenshan shook his head and waved his hands, "I'm old and can't fight anymore, so I'd better give up my position to the young people."

He raised his head and poured a glass of wine, and asked Su Zhi: "After that, it's time for me to talk about you. You have done a good job in the capital, and no one dares to offend you. Why do you want to resign and go into seclusion?"

"Don't mention it!" Su Zhi put the wine glass down on the table and slapped his leg angrily, "To be honest, those idiots in the palace are really pig brains - they don't understand! One article teaches eight things.

If you can’t learn it a hundred times, how can you teach it?”

"Thankfully I have a good attitude, otherwise I would have crashed into the study wall and died!"

Fang Zhenshan quickly poured him a glass of wine and comforted him: "Let's have a glass of wine to calm down."

"I can't drink it!" Su Zhi slammed the table and gritted his teeth: "I just don't understand. Your Majesty is not stupid. How could he give birth to such a stupid son! Even if one is stupid, they are all stupid. If this continues

If we go down to Daqi, our empire will be over!"

Fang Zhenshan also changed his expression, "Is it so serious?"

"Can I still tell lies? As long as there is someone who can save me, I won't be forced to resign and go into seclusion."

Su Zhi scratched his head irritably, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's have a toast. We won't go home until we get drunk!"

"cheers!"

The two of them were drinking from cup to cup when someone suddenly pushed the door open a crack and a little head stuck in.

Fang Zhenshan smiled, "Yu'er, what are you doing here?"

"Grandma asked me to come. She asked you to drink less. She also said that if you get drunk, she will throw you to the back hill to sleep with the wolves."

Su Zhi burst out laughing: "Brother Fang, after all these years, you are still as afraid of your wife as before, hahaha..."

"What's wrong with being afraid of your wife? I'm afraid that my wife can sleep in the bedroom and eat hot meals! How different is it from you, who quarrels with your wife all day long, sleeps in the study all day long and eats leftovers? Tsk, tsk, pathetic."

Su Zhi couldn't bear to lose face. He groaned and looked at Meng Qiyu who was blinking outside the door. His heart moved, "This kid is pretty and he is smart at first sight! Come in, my dear grandson. Grandpa has something to ask you."

"

Meng Qiyu blinked and looked at Fang Zhenshan subconsciously. The latter nodded to him. Then he squeezed in through the crack in the door and asked Su Zhi obediently: "Grandpa, what do you want to ask?"

"My dear grandson, what's your name? How old are you this year? Have you ever read a book?"

Meng Qiyu answered his name and age honestly, but hesitated when he came to the last question, "I have only read literacy books, does it count as reading?"

"Why doesn't it count? Literacy is already very good at the age of five."

At least it's much better than his grandson who only knows how to eat.

There was more affection in Su Zhi's eyes, "Tell Grandpa how many words do you know?"

Meng Qiyu actually counted them one by one with his fingers, but his face collapsed at the end of the count, "I don't know how many, there are too few fingers, so I can't count them."

Su Zhi was amused by his childish words. She took his hand and brought him to the table. He dipped his fingers in wine and wrote a word on the table, "Xiao Yu'er, do you recognize this word?"

Meng Qiyu nodded, "Knowledge, wisdom, understanding, and understanding mean."

Su Zhi was surprised, "Do you even understand the meaning?"

"Dad told me, and I remembered it after he told me." Meng Qiyu wondered, is this difficult?

"I'll write you another message."

Su Zhi did not believe in evil and wrote a more complicated word. Meng Qiyu still answered it without thinking, including the explanation.

Fang Zhenshan, who had seen through everything, smiled proudly, "This child has a very good memory. He can remember the words he said and the words in the book just once. The difficult ones only need two or three times. He is much smarter than those idiot students before you.

Already."

Su Zhi opened his eyes and couldn't believe it, and asked Meng Qiyu: "Besides literacy, what else have you learned?"

"My mother taught me to memorize the Three Character Classic, Tang poetry and Song lyrics, as well as Monkey Catching the Moon, Journey to the West..." Meng Qiyu told the stories she had heard with her fingers, and then asked Su Zhi with excitement: "Can I still pretend to be a child?"

Where is the monkey? Grandpa wants to see it?"
