In March, Nanjing is full of colorful purples and flowers, and is full of spring.
It is the best season of the year. The dignitaries, young ladies and gentlemen in the capital are cheering and cheering one after another, taking fragrant cars and BMWs to go out for an outing in the city.
Lao Liu was also dressed in casual clothes, sitting in his Lamborghini, and left the city early in the morning.
But he didn't go out of town for an outing. For a young man of his age, unless he was accompanying a girl, going outing was a waste of time.
After the group left Zhengyangmen and crossed the Zhonghe Bridge, Zhu Zhen got off the bull at a pavilion beside the road. He had his own guard to park and refuel his "Limbo Kini"... and even took it to eat grass.
He sat down in the pavilion, looked at the infinite spring scenery around him, and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of poetry... Unfortunately, alas, he was not of that level, so he had to give up in frustration.
Hu Quan set out some tea and food, and cheered for His Highness.
"Have everything been arranged at Guozixue?" Lao Liu asked while eating snacks.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been arranged." Hu Quan said with a smile: "The enrollment of Hu Xian and Deng Duo has also been completed. When the time comes, they can go to school with His Highness and protect His Highness nearby."
"With their level, can they go to Guozixue?" Lao Liu pointed at the two people feeding cows not far away. It was unbelievable. Although he was often said to be less educated, who could he compare with his score? He was the same as those two guys.
Yes, he is a doctor.
"There is also a Taixue in Guozixue, which is specially used for the education of the children of distinguished officials." Hu Quan explained helplessly: "With both of his status, it is enough for him to enter the Taixue."
After a pause, he continued: "The things that Taixue learns are simple. I just teach these boys to read the words of saints for two years, so that they know how to be loyal and patriotic, and they can understand military books. That's it."
"That's it." Lao Liu's eyes lit up and he said, "Then I will also go to Taixue."
"Your Highness, your status is not good enough." Hu Quan said with a bitter smile: "At least you have to be a commander before you are eligible to sign up. The emperor arranged for Xun to be the son of the deputy commander of Nanchang Guard, which is still half a level short."
"He did it on purpose." Lao Liu said depressedly: "Why do you want me to see the most real situation? He just wants me to suffer in Guozixue. Then he will be happy."
Although Lao Liu didn't say who 'he' was by name, any fool could tell who he was. Hu Quan didn't dare to answer, so he hurriedly comforted His Highness and said: "Don't worry, we have made complete arrangements, and we will not let anyone let him go."
Your Highness feels too uncomfortable in there."
"I hope so." Lao Liu muttered without confidence. You said that you are already the powerful Prince of Ming Dynasty in Jiangnan and Jiangxi. Why do you suddenly have to be a student again?
Alas, no matter how hard I try, I can't stand up to the old thief's words...
Just as he was complaining, he heard the vigilant guard in the distance shout loudly: "Coming, coming."
"Haha, great." Lao Liu stuffed the snack in his mouth, patted the residue on his hand, and walked out of the pavilion quickly.
Then he saw a group of people coming from the official road.
It was the guards of the Prince of Chu's Palace who were escorting Uncle Chengyi's family back to the capital.
Zhu Zhen stood at the end of the bridge with a smile on his face, looking at the several carts that were getting closer and closer.
The curtain of a car suddenly opened, revealing a smart and flawless face. Who could it be if it wasn't Liu Li?
She saw Lao Liu's burly body at a glance, and happily waved and shouted: "Little Master Uncle, Little Master Uncle!"
Zhu Zhen also smiled and waved to her, not seeing her for a long time and missing her very much.
What made him even more happy was that Liu Li finally got out of the pain and showed a long-lost smile.
Very good, very good.
Others did not dare to support him like Liu Li, so they quickly got out of the car and bowed politely.
"Second Senior Brother, get up quickly." Lao Liu helped Liu Jing up with a smile. "It's been a hard journey."
"It's not hard work, but it's hard work for His Highness to welcome him personally. It's really embarrassing for this official." After becoming the mainstay of the family, Liu Jing became much more stable. Although he knew that the King of Chu was not here to pick him up at all, he still said politely.
Thanks.
"Hey, senior brother, don't go outside. We are a family." Lao Liu looked at Liu Xiang with a smile and said, "right, eldest nephew?"
"Oh..." Liu Xiang responded depressedly. In fact, he was two years older than Lao Liu.
After the ceremony, the two groups formed one group and headed towards Zhengyang Gate.
On the way, Liu Jing wisely kept a distance from His Highness. Liu Xiang also wanted to be a light bulb for him and his sister, but his father pulled him away...
"Have you arranged everything at home?" Lao Liu rode the ox and the carriage side by side.
"Yeah." Liu Li hung up the car curtain, looked at Lao Liu's no longer round face and said, "Uncle Junior is much thinner."
"Haha, I used to be thinner." Lao Liu touched his cheeks embarrassedly and said, "It has been more than two months since I came back. I have been eating here and there without moving much, so I have rebounded.
"
"That's fine, no matter how thin you are, it will be too distressing." Liu Li smiled sweetly.
"It's a pity that you didn't see it, he was so handsome back then." Lao Liu boasted.
"He's so handsome now." Liu Li cupped her chin and looked at him happily. This was a perfect explanation of what it means to have flowers in your eyes.
"Little uncle."
"What's up?"
"I'm so happy that you came to pick me up." Liu Li said sweetly.
"Have you eaten any candy?" Lao Liu said with a smile.
"No, what's wrong?" Liu Li said.
"Why is that mouth so sweet?" Lao Liu burst out laughing.
"Because I put honey on my mouth." Liu Li giggled.
"I don't believe it." Lao Liu glanced at Liu Jing who was far away.
"If you don't believe it, don't believe it." Liu Li covered her mouth and hid in the carriage.
After a while, he stuck his head out again and continued chatting with him.
This is how childhood sweethearts are, carefree and intimate.
~~
The group returned to Liu Junshiqiao's Chengyi residence, and Liu Bowen had been waiting for a long time.
When he saw the children coming back, the sharp wrinkles on his face softened a lot.
When people get old, life passes on to their children, whether you are an emperor or a general, this is generally the case.
The whole family had a lively reunion dinner, and Uncle Chengyi's house became popular again.
After the meal, Liu Bowen called Zhu Zhen to the study and asked, "I heard you are going to school?"
"Oh, the old man arranged it." Lao Liu sighed: "Just thinking about it gives me a headache."
"Why do you let me go to school when you are so good? Are you dissatisfied with me?" Liu Bowen asked with an unhappy look on his face.
"Master, a mature half-immortal should give the answer himself instead of waiting for others to answer." Lao Liu said with a smile.
"You brat, take the exam to become a teacher." Liu Bowen smiled lightly and said, "It seems like the big one is coming."
"Ah?" Lao Liu asked in confusion: "How do you mean this?"
"Isn't this obvious? You are his trump card that has always been tried and tested. With your father's temper, if he uses it well, he will die." Liu Bowen chuckled and said:
"What can you learn by sending you to the Chinese Academy of Sciences? You will definitely have to take action against the Chinese Academy of Sciences."
"Does this mean the big one is coming?" Lao Liu said with a smile, "Isn't it an exaggeration?"
"That's right, if we only want to touch one Guozixue, there is no need for your majesty, King of Chu and His Royal Highness King Hai, to intervene." Liu Bowen said calmly: "So, it is easy to analyze that Guozixue is just an introduction, a mouse pulling a wooden shovel -
The big head is at the back."
"What could that be?" Lao Liu asked with a smile.
"There are two things related to the Imperial College, one is the imperial examination, and the other is the officialdom." Liu Bowen put away his smile and said: "So, the emperor must prepare for a major reform of the imperial examination system, or prepare for a major change of blood in the officialdom, or both.
"
"Hey, Master, that's amazing." Lao Liu couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
