It takes a long time to get from Chang'an to Rongzhou. It takes about two months for the carriage to go slowly like this. It is much slower than Yan Lizhou and the others' last time.
This is already pretty fast, but it still takes a year and a half to walk through some places in Dayong.
It's just that it's summer now, the weather is really too hot, and Chen Xun feels very stuffy.
Ancient clothes were also very thick. Even summer clothes, with three layers inside and three outside, really made her suffocate.
Chen Xun could only take out ice cubes from the space supermarket and put them in the carriage. She would eat the ice cream from time to time.
"Master, can you have one for me?" Qi Yang begged eagerly as he saw Chen Yun eating strawberry ice cream.
"No, you've already eaten." Chen Yu refused.
This time when we went to Rongzhou, Qi Yang, Yun Ji, Yun Xiu and others all went with them. A reliable person was left in Prince Ning's Mansion in Chang'an to watch over them.
After all, Yan Lizhou didn't need much care when he was at the frontier, but now that they have gone to the fiefdom and brought with them the princess Chen Xun and their disciple Qi Yang, they need Yun Ji and Yun Xiu, a pair of capable brother and sister housekeepers.
.
They are not worried about what anyone in the palace in Chang'an will do. Concubine Yun Guifei will watch and will not let anyone destroy her son's home.
"Master, can you give me another one?" Qi Yang was really greedy. Who wouldn't be greedy if he could eat ice cream in the summer?
Moreover, the ice cream is cold and sweet, so no child can refuse it.
"Be good, you are too young to eat too much ice." Chen Yu refused ruthlessly.
"Okay, don't be greedy. Memorize the Three Character Classic for me."
The little guy has been following her in reading and writing and practicing martial arts with her during this period. Now she needs to give him a good test.
Qi Yang is smart, and his progress in studying is quite fast. Now that the master and apprentice can't accept the results of his martial arts practice on the carriage, they will accept the results of his study.
"After memorizing the Three-Character Classic, I will also memorize the Thousand-Character Classic."
In the Yong Dynasty, there are "three", "hundred" and "thousand". It is said that the most beautiful prime minister in the world came up with it in the previous dynasty.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Chen Xun is now directly using it to teach his apprentices.
Qi Yang told the conditions, "Master, after you finish memorizing the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic, can you give me another ice cream? I want to eat strawberry flavor..."
"No." Chen Xun shook her head and said, "But I can give you strawberry-flavored milk, iced."
Qi Yang's eyes lit up and he readily agreed, "Okay."
So the little guy started to memorize the text. He didn't have a long time to read and write, but he did memorize these two books.
Maybe he still couldn't fully recognize all the words in these two books, but Chen Yun was very satisfied that he could memorize them completely.
Chen Xun was very cheerful when she taught Qi Yang. She taught him how to recognize pinyin, and then threw him the textbook with pinyin and asked him to use pinyin to spell it when he recognized the words.
Among the gifts that Chen Yun gave to Qi Yang was a thick "Xinhua Dictionary" so that the little guy could look it up in the dictionary by himself if there were any words he didn't know.
Of course, these textbooks and dictionaries are also in traditional Chinese characters. It is impossible for her to give books in simplified Chinese characters to her apprentice in ancient times to learn the characters. Otherwise, what will happen if he does not understand the traditional Chinese characters of this era in the future?
Qi Yang memorized the "Three Character Classic" very seriously. He also memorized three-quarters of the "Thousand Character Classic" and finished the rest with stumbling steps.
Chen Xun was very satisfied and took out a 250ml bottle of strawberry milk for him to drink.
"Master, will we live in Rongzhou from now on? Aren't we going back to Chang'an?" Qi Yang asked while drinking strawberry milk.
"Yes." Chen Xun nodded.
Qi Yang was very happy after getting this answer. He was actually worried that his mother and stepfather would come to harass him after they found out that he had become Princess Ning's apprentice.
Qi Yang is very grateful to his master. If it weren't for her, he would have been beaten by his stepfather, and his mother would not have protected him much.
The master rescued him and accepted him as his disciple. He was no different from his reborn parents.
He didn't want to cause trouble for his master because of himself. If his mother and stepfather came to bother him, even if they couldn't get any benefits, he was worried about ruining his master's reputation.
Now he is following his master to Rongzhou, which is far away from Chang'an. It is a place that his mother and stepfather will never go to in their lifetime.
In this case, they will no longer be able to pester his master.
"Master, I will definitely work hard to study and practice martial arts, and I will definitely support you in your old age, Master." Qi Yang said to Chen Yun seriously.
Chen Xun: "..."
Her face was distorted for a moment, and then she stretched out her hand to pinch the child's cheek, which she had finally grown a little fleshy on.
"Ayang, Master is ten years older than you. Do you want to support Master in old age?" Chen Xiupi said with a smile.
"When Master is seventy or eighty years old, you are already seventy years old. How can you support Master in his old age?"
"When Master is ninety-nine, you are also eighty-nine. How will you support Master in his old age?"
Qi Yang, who had his cheek pinched: "But... master, isn't it... natural and right for the apprentice to provide for the master in old age?"
"But Master and you are only ten years apart."
"Master..."
"Good boy, Master is really happy that Ayang has this 'filial piety', but no need." Chen Xun said speechlessly.
How old is she? She is only sixteen years old. She is in her 28th year of youth and beauty. Why does she need a six-year-old child to support her in her old age?
Just like what she said, she is only ten years older than the little guy, so how can she live in old age?
Even if she doesn’t have children in the future, wouldn’t she still have disciples and grandchildren? Or could Qi Yang’s disciples and grandchildren provide for her in her old age?
There is not much age difference between her apprentice and her, and she doesn't want to wait until she is old to have this apprentice take care of her. It would be a shame.
"Master." Qi Yang looked at his master with emotion.
His master is really great and selfless.
After saving him and raising him, he still doesn’t need him to support him in his old age. How is this possible?
He will definitely provide for his master in his old age. Qi Yang said firmly in his heart.
Chen Yun didn't care what her apprentice thought. This little guy was smart, but sometimes the things in his mind really made her, the master, a little overwhelmed.
"Ah Yang, practice your calligraphy." Chen Xun took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed it on the small coffee table, asking Qi Yang to quickly practice calligraphy and copy his homework.
He has been thinking wildly at a young age, thinking about providing for her master in his youth. It must be because he has too little homework, so he thinks so much.
It seems she has to give the little guy more homework.
Now that they are on the road and it is not convenient to practice martial arts, let her practice calligraphy and memorize. As long as there is enough homework, he will not have so much energy to think wildly.
Qi Yang looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone his master took out, and couldn't help but frown, "Master, do you really want to practice calligraphy? The carriage is too bumpy, so it's not good to practice calligraphy like this, right?"
"It's okay. If you practice calligraphy in such a bumpy environment, maybe you can get twice the result with half the effort?" Chen Xun said with a smile, "You have to work hard to practice calligraphy well on the bumpy carriage and make the calligraphy beautiful, so that you can write in a stable environment in the future.
Words are better, aren’t they?”
"Ah Yang, be good, practice your calligraphy well." Chen Xun said with a kind smile.
Qi Yang: "..." Wuwuwu, the master is so scary now. He really doesn't want to practice calligraphy.
