Seeing that the British public doubted his father's intentions towards him, Mu Jie loudly retorted: "It's not that my father doesn't love me!"
His father really hurt him.
It was because I loved him too much that I let him live in Huo's house and study in Boya School. Now he is living happily every day.
Seeing Mu Jie glaring at him, Zhang Fu couldn't help but smile, "Yes, your father loves you."
Look, this kid is getting angry.
Can't hold back my laughter.
After smiling, he glanced at Huo Nian again. This child seemed to have a good relationship with the princess's son. The two of them were studying in the same school.
Does the Huo family have any relationship with the Duke of Guizhou family? Zhang Fu had doubts in his heart.
Because he wanted to accept Huo Nian as his disciple, but he knew nothing about his disciple's family affairs, Zhang Fu decided to have someone check the Huo family after he returned.
Seeing that Mu Jie came to Huo Nian with a travel diary and asked Huo Nian about the allusions in the picture, he was also attracted.
It’s no wonder that such a travelogue with simple words, pictures and stories can attract children. Looking more closely, I saw that each picture was accompanied by a sentence from Queen Renxiao’s "Book of Encouragement"... I couldn’t help but take another look at Huo Nian.
Do you mark the words of Queen Renxiao's "Book of Encouragement" on your travel notes?
How could this child have such thoughts at such a young age?
What's the intention?
He has watched Huo Nian grow up for several years. This child has a pure nature and may not have such thoughts of clinging to the powerful.
Otherwise, no matter how much he knows his identity or that he is a high official, he doesn't see that child trying to curry favor with him.
Would such a child know how to mark the words of Queen Renxiao in his travel diary to cling to the royal family?
Zhang Fu frowned. He didn't want to get into a lot of trouble by finding a disciple.
Someone needs to go and investigate the Huo family carefully. The disciple may be a good person, but if the Huo family is ambitious and wants to be powerful, he will not accept Huo Nian.
He took the travel diary from Mu Jie's hand and flipped through it. He liked it very much. Thinking that the children at home would also like it, he asked Huo Nian: "You wrote this all?"
Huo Nian nodded: "Yes, uncle. My sister helped me touch up the colors, but some of the pictures were drawn for me by others, and there are notes on them." Pointing to the notes next to the pictures.
Zhang Fu nodded. This kid didn't take all the credit at all. That's good.
Then he pointed to the words in the "Book of Encouragement" under the picture and asked: "Is this idea your own?"
Huo Nian shook his head honestly: "I didn't expect this at first. Even writing travel notes was reminded by my sister. My sister said that I am luckier than other classmates. I can travel so far and see so many scenery at such a young age. I have to write it down to avoid forgetting it.
, you can also write it down and share it with your classmates.”
"My sister reminded me about the book of persuasion to be kind. Each of us got a copy of Queen Renxiao's book of persuasion. Gentlemen asked us to study it carefully and do more good deeds. I have written it down. I am afraid that I will forget it, and I am also afraid that
My classmates forgot about it, so I found some words to accompany the pictures."
Zhang Fu smiled and nodded to him and touched his head.
Huo Nian's sister?
Reminding Huo Nian to write down the words of the book of advice in the travel diary, what is the purpose? Thinking of seeing her standing among men in men's clothes in Peking, he frowned again.
"You are so young, how can your family trust you to go to a place so far away from Sichuan without your parents following you?"
"My parents have things to do at home. My sister and I have brought people to go to Shu. There are our old friends there, very important people. My sister took me to see them."
My sister said she couldn't tell anyone that she was visiting her grandfather, but Nian'er remembered it all and Nian'er didn't tell anyone.
He is a very important person. No wonder he has to go thousands of miles away. He is not worried that such a young child ran away. Zhang Fu didn't ask any more. It was someone else's family matter.
Zhang Fu stopped asking, but Huo Nian bit his lip, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to tell uncle? Or do you need help from uncle for something?"
Huo Nian thought for a while and finally said: "Uncle, you are the father-in-law, do you have to listen to your words as well?"
Zhang Fu laughed: "You can't say that. The prince is of higher rank than the marquis. When the marquis sees the prince, he must salute. But the prince and the marquis are all the emperor's ministers, and they all have to listen to the emperor's words.
.”
Huo Nian pursed his lips again.
"Why, did your family offend any prince?"
Huo Nian shook his head. His sister said that the man was the Marquis, and the Marquis was no older than the father-in-law. He bit his lower lip and looked at Zhang Fu: "Uncle, if, Nian'er means if, in the future, we will be offended.
Marquis, uncle, can you help me?"
The uncle is a father-in-law and has a higher rank than that person. What the uncle said should be effective, right? My sister said that nothing can happen to them. If something happens, no one will spend money for the mother.
Zhang Fu was a little surprised. Did this really offend the Hou Mansion? Seeing the child's anxious look, he patted his head: "Don't worry, if uncle can help, he will definitely help Nian'er."
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle!" Huo Nian was happy in his heart.
My sister said that she should not offend powerful people, but making good friends with powerful people could sometimes bring convenience to herself. The uncle was a father-in-law and had a higher status than that person. If something happened in the future, he would ask his uncle for help.
With a smile on his face, he saluted Zhang Fu again.
After Zhang Fu collected a few travel notes and left, Mu Jie ran over from nowhere, stretched his head and looked outside, and saw that the British gentleman had really left, so he whispered to Huo Nian: "How do you know the British gentleman? Why did he
Come to teach you marksmanship?"
Huo Nian's mind was also confused. He now knew the relationship between the princes, uncles, princes, princes, relatives, and powerful ministers.
They are all people of higher status than him that he cannot afford to offend.
Shaking his head at Mu Jie: "When I was a child, I was hiding outside the book school crying, and my uncle saw me. He was passing by, and he was afraid that I would be kidnapped, so he came to comfort me and talk to me. I didn't know who he was.
Master, I just found out today.”
Mu Jie only remembered what Huo Nian said about hiding outside and crying when he was a child.
His mouth opened wide: "Brother Nian, have you ever cried too?"
Huo Nian was a little embarrassed, but still said honestly: "I cried. Even children cry. But now that I'm older, I don't cry anymore."
Wow, it turns out that brother Huo Nian can cry too. Mu Jie was relieved, and it was not so embarrassing to cry often.
"I think my mother will cry too. My mother is gone." She pursed her lips again as she spoke.
"My mother is gone too." Huo Nian's eyes turned red as he thought of his mother whom he had never met.
"Ah? Auntie is gone?"
Didn't we see him again in the morning? His aunt also helped him pack his clothes and book bag, made breakfast for him, served him and brother Huo Nian for breakfast, and then sent them to the door.
Tengdi stood up: "When did it happen? When did aunt disappear?" Has brother Mu Nian become a motherless child like him?
