He unintentionally pleased his mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law, but Zhang Shou was completely unaware of it. After all, it was fun to say a few nice words to a certain soon-to-be daughter-in-law, but the prospective daughter-in-law would happily share it with others, so he just
Really unexpected.
After a busy day, attending classes, traveling back and forth between the inner and outer city, and persuading people, he said a few words to Mrs. Wu as soon as he got home, and then heard chicken soup simmering in the small kitchen.
He drank a bowl, washed his feet and went to bed. He slept until daylight, and was woken up by Ah Liu.
Sleepily, he washed up, exercised, had breakfast, and after getting on the carriage, he fell back into sleep again. When he was finally pushed awake, he saw two eyes staring at him from close range as soon as he opened his eyes.
He was immediately frightened! Fortunately, he had always relied on the fact that Ah Liu was here and no one could do anything to him. As a result, when he took a closer look, he recognized the person.
Who else is this naughty boy other than the Fourth Prince?
Zhang Shou took a deep breath, and then slowly sat up straight. When he found that he was still in a moving carriage, and the fourth prince was sitting cross-legged in front of him, he couldn't help but frowned: "Why are you here?
?”
The fourth prince heard that Zhang Shou's tone was not kind, so he said with a bitter face: "Teacher, last night, my father punished me to kneel in the Qianqing Palace to reflect. As a result, the third brother kept kneeling with me until my father came back. My father was angry.
It’s broken! He said..." Seeing Zhang Shou staring at him but not speaking, he originally planned to cry, but he knew that he couldn’t hide it from the teacher, so he could only be simple and rude...
He actually jumped up and hugged Zhang Shou's thigh!
Zhang Shou was stunned by the naughty child's move. He subconsciously raised his foot to throw the person away, but then he realized that this was not a cat or a dog, but a royal prince! But even so, he couldn't help but feel extremely disgusted: "Zheng
锳, what are you going to do? A manly man, if you have anything to say, speak it out!"
"I'm still young and not a manly man!"
The fourth prince was accustomed to cheating, but under Zhang Shou's cold gaze, he could only let go of his hand and whispered: "Teacher, I was kicked out of the palace by my father! He asked me to make meritorious deeds.
I have to do something that is worthy of his approval before I can go back, otherwise I will stop being a prince! He also said that if I cause my third brother to accompany me to be punished next time, I will not have a son!"
Naturally, Zhang Shou had some complaints about the emperor who always favored his two younger sons. Especially the fourth prince's increasingly aggressive character. It was obvious that without the two hungry tigers, the eldest prince and the second prince, he began to
There is no tiger in the mountains and the monkey can be called the king. However, the emperor suddenly transformed into a tiger dad, which still seemed a bit ridiculous to him.
He calmed down, then looked at the fourth prince and asked: "The emperor kicked you out, where will you live?"
Seeing that the fourth prince did not speak, but his eyes looked like a poor homeless puppy, his scalp went numb immediately, and then he said sternly: "Isn't King Jiangdu Da Zongzheng? Isn't it logical for you to live with him?
"
"Father said that he has ordered all the royal family members not to take me in." The fourth prince's face was full of grievances, and then he whispered, "Besides, I am penniless and know nothing. If the teacher doesn't
Take me in, I won’t do anything to deserve my punishment, I’ll have to live on the streets! Teacher, just take me in, I can do anything!”
Seeing that Zhang Shou didn't talk to him at all, the naughty kid could only plead and beg to please: "I can sharpen ink and stretch paper. I can work as a book boy for you, teacher, and I will definitely not eat for free..."
Faced with such a stalking naughty kid, Zhang Shou only felt that one was bigger than the other. Never mind what the emperor thought about kicking the fourth prince out, how big of a heart he had to have to really treat him as a human being.
The bookboy is at his command? This matter must be hidden from the civil and military officials who are always watching him! Moreover, if such a restless naughty boy is left outside, what should he do if something happens?
Wait, something happened... Zhang Shou's eyes suddenly turned sharp, staring at the naughty kid who was pointing his fingers and talking about what he could do, and suddenly asked unhurriedly: "The emperor asked you to do something
You will only be allowed to go back if you have to do something that he approves of, but you plan to be a little book boy next to me, so it will take you a lot of time and a lot of time to fulfill the emperor's request?"
The fourth prince's expression suddenly changed, and then he said sarcastically: "I have to settle down first, how can I have the time to think so far? Teacher, you are so powerful, if I just follow you and take some credit, I will definitely impress my father...
"
"I'm afraid the drunkard's intention is not in the bar?" Zhang Shou chuckled. Seeing the confusion on the fourth prince's face, he remembered that this little guy probably hadn't mastered so many idioms yet, so he simply said bluntly, "Don't tell me, what you are thinking is not
Hang out personally as a bait and see if you can attract some people?"
"I didn't!" The fourth prince instinctively objected loudly, but when he came into contact with Zhang Shou's eyes, he thought that he had been exposed and denied it fiercely last night. Instead, Zhang Shou uncovered his disguise layer by layer. He suddenly
Completely discouraged.
He sat there with his head drooped and said feebly: "After much thought, there is only this way, otherwise what else can I do with my thin arms and legs? My father gave me three choices, either punish me.
If I go to Zongzheng Temple to help Uncle Wang for a month, I will either be punished by working as a sweeper at Ciqing Palace for a month, or I will be punished by the teacher."
"At Uncle Wang's place, I had to be scolded to death by him! At Ciqing Palace, maybe the third brother would do something out of pity for me, and he would be scolded by my father later. Only teacher, you are not only great, but also your father
The emperor trusts you, and you have such a powerful helper as Sixth Brother, he will definitely be able to help me! As long as I hang around you all day long, if someone has malicious intentions, I will definitely not be able to help it!"
"You kid, are you using me as a bait?" Zhang Shou was angry and funny, and directly poked the fourth prince's forehead with his finger, "Besides, do you think other people are fools? Seeing you wandering around outside, you will
Are you a target? Since ancient times, this tactic of luring snakes out of their holes and luring enemies into taking the bait has been used too many times!"
Seeing the fourth prince's astonishment, his face was full of dismay, but he had an expression that said he wouldn't leave even if you chase him away. Knowing that he probably couldn't get rid of this piece of brown candy, he gently touched his chin, and then said expressionlessly:
"In short, don't worry about what evil idea you had before. If you want to stay, just put it away for me! Follow my command in all actions, and do whatever I ask you to do!"
This time, the fourth prince, who had wilted just now, suddenly sat up straight and responded loudly without even thinking: "Teacher, don't worry, I will listen to you in everything!"
When Ah Liu, who had just put the Fourth Prince on the bus outside the car, heard this, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then turned his horse's head and waved at the group of guards who had just escorted the naughty boy over. Seeing them hand over their hands on the horse.
Li Li, and then left quietly. He glanced at Han Lie and others who were obviously tense and wary.
"Don't worry, it's okay!"
Of course, these five short words could not make Han Lie, who had completely heard the conversation in the car, feel relieved. When he thought that the person he originally wanted to protect was only the prince's teacher, but now he had to add a prince, he felt a
His heart was about to burst out of his throat. After making such a big mistake yesterday, he actually wanted to hide from the fourth prince as far as he could!
This kind of prince who doesn't play according to common sense is as difficult to deal with as he wants!
Although the fourth prince promised to follow orders in all actions, Zhang Shou did not believe that this naughty boy was really honest. After all, when he was beaten last time, he was still steadfast in his words, but it only took a few days for him to return to his old ways. The wait was over.
When he was about to get out of the car outside the gate of the public school, he saw the fourth prince getting up and jumping out of the car first. When he leaned out, the man extended his hand diligently.
That cautious look was exactly the same as the flattery in front of the palace last night!
Seeing Ah Liu carrying the naughty child to the side, Zhang Shou quickly got out of the car, then ignored the fourth prince and walked straight to the door. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the short fourth prince running after him.
When he came up, he said calmly: "It is a good thing to respect teachers and moral principles, but don't forget that you are a prince, and don't do things that would cause outsiders to spread rumors."
When he heard that the fourth prince did not say anything, he continued: "Since you want to follow me, then so be it. Since you are in casual clothes today, go to the intermediate class and become a transfer student. Ah Liu, you carry it
He went there to listen to the class."
Knowing that Zhang Shou wanted him to be a bodyguard there, even though he had no interest in any of the classes, Ah Liu readily agreed.
And when he learned that Zhang Shou had such an arrangement for him, the fourth prince, who had already been mentally prepared to wipe the blackboard until his hands softened, was also dumbfounded. Although he listened to most of the calculations that Zhang Shou said now.
He didn't understand, but he still preferred to be with the teacher - after all, the feeling of someone holding on even if the sky fell was real.
Although Ah Liu is also very powerful, that kind of power scares him too much. He had nightmares about the last-minute kick yesterday!
Although he was very reluctant, he had to agree to Zhang Shou in person against his will. In addition, Ah Liu was escorting him personally. No matter how reluctant the fourth prince was, he could only go there honestly. When he arrived at the classroom, he saw that it was full of people sitting there.
There were a lot of neatly dressed but shabby children of different ages sitting there, and he felt a little confused.
Although he is not completely ignorant of the sufferings of the people - at least he has gone to the fields to pick up wheat ears, and even rode an ox once, he has also been to the market, and he has even heard Zhang Shou tell those gloomy and heart-pounding stories, but the fourth prince has never
At his core, he is just a little prince who grew up in the palace and doesn't know much about the sufferings of the people.
Therefore, he was a little confused...or perhaps confused. Under Ah Liu's arrangement, he sat next to someone. Then he heard an exaggerated gasp coming from beside him. Looking sideways, he recognized
Someone came out.
Isn't it the little peanut he saw at Zhang's house?
Little Peanut never imagined that the person brought to class by Ah Liu himself would be the Fourth Prince!
After he couldn't help but gasp, he couldn't help but swallow again. The children around him who were curious about why there was a newcomer turned back to prepare for class - after all, he was here for arithmetic class today.
It was Lu Sanlang, who had always been grumpy and harsh in speech. He couldn't help but steal a glance at the fourth prince again. As a result, he found that the person was also looking at him.
"Four...why are you here?" Little Peanut, who mustered up the courage, finally asked in a low voice.
But almost at the same time he asked this question, the fourth prince also asked in confusion: "Why are you here?" The two questions were all thrown together, two little guys who were several years apart in age.
You glared at me, but in the end, someone in front suddenly turned his head and knocked on their desk seriously.
"Class is about to start, be quiet! Little Peanut, do you want to be beaten by Mr. Lu?"
Little Peanut immediately fell silent. Even if a fourth prince suddenly sat next to him, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He quickly recharged his energy and prepared to deal with the questions that might come up today. Although he was actually better than most people here.
He had to be solid, but he couldn't help but Lu Sanlang also had extremely high requirements for him and Xiao Cheng. Doing 60 addition and subtraction questions at 100 breaths was simply life-threatening!
When the fourth prince saw that Little Peanut suddenly started holding his breath and paying no attention to him, he became even more confused. At this time, Xiao Cheng had turned his head and sat upright. He thought for a while, suddenly stretched out his fingers and placed a finger on Xiao Cheng's back.
He poked at the person, and when he saw that the person was still there, he couldn't help but use a little more strength and continued to poke.
This time, the hard work paid off. The child in front of him, who was about the same age as him, finally turned his head again and yelled angrily: "Little Peanut, what are you doing!"
Little Peanut's face was confused. What am I doing... I didn't do anything! He who had been innocently taken the blame no longer cared about the Fourth Prince next to him. He turned his head and glared angrily, only to see the Fourth Prince's fingers.
Before he could take it back, it was obvious that if Xiao Cheng didn't turn around, he would continue to poke and poke.
Under the aggrieved gaze of Little Peanut, Xiao Cheng finally realized something was wrong. When he saw the movements of the fourth prince clearly, his brows suddenly stood up. Knowing that he had just blamed the wrong person, Xiao Cheng, who was always strict, immediately lowered his head without thinking.
He apologized to Little Peanut with an extremely sincere attitude, and then stared at the Fourth Prince with a very unkind look.
"This is a classroom, please follow the rules!"
That's right, Xiao Cheng, who once worked as a handyman in the Imperial College and had a lot of Jiuzhangtang supervisors living in his home, no doubt knew the fourth prince who had studied in Banshan Hall, but he didn't have much communication on weekdays. But at this moment
Being scolded in person like this, the fourth prince was stunned at first, and then couldn't help feeling aggrieved: "It's not class yet! I just want to ask why you are here?"
Before Little Peanut had time to answer, Xiao Chengcheng said like a little adult: "Of course it's studying! Brother Zhang said that the wisdom of young people will make the country wise, the richness of young people will make the country rich, and the strong young people will make the country strong. Study for the rise of China!"
