King’s House Kindergarten

There are many merchant ships and cargo ships going to and from Nanshun Cizhou from Cangyueshuo City.

According to Zhuo Min, it takes three days to travel by water, and larger merchant ships are safer; although smaller merchant ships are quiet, they are no safer than larger merchant ships. Although the larger merchant ships are mixed with dragons and snakes, there are many guards and secret guards, which is not a big problem; if a large merchant ship is chartered alone, it will be noticeable.

Zhuo Min traveled all the year round near various countries, and Zhuo Yuan listened to Zhuo Min's arrangement.

The Qu family was quite powerful in Nanshun Jingzhong and Cizhou, and Zhuo Min quickly arranged for everyone to board the nearest merchant ship bound for Cizhou.

When they got on the boat, Xiaoba and Taotao didn't have enough eyes.

Not to mention Xiaoba and Taotao, Shen Yue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no matter how much she sees in the book, it won't be as shocking as the real scene she sees right now...

Zhuo Min is a member of the Qu family (grandfather's surname is Qu), and he often travels in and out of Shuocheng.

Just when he was with Zhuoyuan, Zhuo Min mostly kept a low profile and respected Zhuo Yuan's relatives; but in front of outsiders, Zhuo Min was very arrogant, even in places like Shuocheng Wharf where dragons and snakes were mixed, and the wharf steward was a man of three religions and nine ranks. , Zhuo Min can easily hold it.

Zhuo Min is the mansion of Prince Pingyuan. He looks gentle and jade-like on weekdays, but he is actually a mature and experienced one.

In no way inferior to Zhuoxin.

even more so.

Compared with Zhuo Min, Zhuo Xincai is like a child who has been well protected...

Shen Yue couldn't help but have such thoughts in her heart.

...

After waiting for the merchant ship, the wharf steward personally led the way.

Merchant ships have three tiers.

The higher the view, the better the view, the fewer rooms, and each cabin can only go to the deck corresponding to this layer.

Although Zhuo Min did not contract the entire merchant ship alone, he did contract the entire third floor of the merchant ship, so there would be no others on the third floor and the top deck.

In addition, among the accompanying dark guards and bodyguards, there are also many people who are arranged in the cabins on the lower and second floors, and keep an eye on the movements of the cabins on the lower and second floors. But it's actually safe.

The wharf steward led Zhuo Min and everyone to the third-floor cabin. Along the way, Zhuo Yuan held Xiaoba and Shen Yue held Taotao, watching the busy scene on the merchant ship and along the wharf, and listening to the wharf steward roughly speaking The general situation of this merchant ship, and the time of arrival in Nanshun Cizhou, etc.

When Zhuo Min and the others arrived at the best cabins on the third floor, the dock steward stopped, "Eldest son, these are the best cabins, the steward of this ship is named Wang Mingtong, the eldest son has anything to do with it. , just tell the king to say the same thing."

Wang Tongchao, who was beside the pier steward, surrendered to Zhuo Min.

"This journey is a lot of trouble." Zhuo Min followed the ceremony.

"The eldest son has something to give an order, and the rest will be taken care of by the youngest." Wang Tong also understood.

Zhuo Min chose a merchant ship that could leave Shuocheng the fastest. Right now, the ship is about to set off. The steward of the wharf left, and Wang Tong went to see it off.

"Wow~" Pushing open the cabin door, Xiaoba and Taotao couldn't help exclaiming.

Shen Yue was also surprised. It is no exaggeration to say that this cabin is a luxurious garden. The outer pavilion, study, tea room, penthouse, sleeping and sleeping rooms are all available, and there is also a separate small terrace, because it is on the third floor. You can see the scenery far away, just like a luxury vacation cruise...

Shen Yue sighed in her heart.

Xiaoba and Taotao are simply stunned~

Zhuo Yuan and Xiaoba and Taotao were leaning on the railing for a long time on the terrace, and Xiaoba and Taotao had never been on a merchant ship. It was when they were excited that they talked to Zhuoyuan, saying that it was really interesting to take a big boat. When I get back to Beijing, I want to tell the fifth brother, the sixth sister and the seventh brother, and they will come back to the boat with them.

The children are full of hope.

Zhuo Yuan should be fine.

Shen Yue also watched for a while, then returned to the study.

The study room here is not a decoration, but is really full of books, many books, which are very rare.

This was even more unexpected to Shen Yue.

Looking around again, I saw paintings and calligraphy hung in the study room and the tea room.

Shen Yue suddenly remembered that Nanshun is the hometown of calligraphy and painting, and there are special auctions for treasures, especially the Sibaolou auction of paintings by famous calligraphers and painters. Therefore, many people who travel to and from Cizhou are literati, so it is natural for a merchant ship like this to be arranged. came into being.

Shen Yue couldn't help sighing in her heart.

When Zhuo Yuan took Xiaoba and Taotao to turn back, the boat almost sailed away from the shore, Xiaoba and Taotao wanted to go to the top deck, Zhuo Yuan took them both, and asked Shen Yue if they wanted to be together.

Shen Yue smiled and shook her head, but she thought for a while when she got to the cabin.

Zhuo Yuan looked at the time, and there was still some time in the evening, when he took Xiaoba and Taotao to the deck, and when they came back, they could almost eat.

Shen Yue took a short rest in the bedroom.

These two days seem to be a little tired, and I don't know if it is because of the cold, and I feel a little uncomfortable. When I got to the couch, Shen Yue fell back to sleep.

When he woke up, the door on the terrace was closed, and the thick curtain was drawn again. He didn't know the time, but when Shen Yue woke up, Zhuo Yuan also woke up, "Are you better?"

Shen Yue was stunned, "What's wrong?"

Zhuo Yuan said softly, "Yesterday I took Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu to the deck to blow air. When I came back, I called you a few times. You only said that you were sleepy and wanted to sleep more, but there was no need for dinner. When I asked you at night , you still say sleepy, or you want to sleep a little longer, so you sleep until now. Ayue, are you not feeling well?"

Shen Yue was stunned when she heard the word "yesterday", and after listening to Zhuo Yuan's words, she also felt unbelievable in her heart, "Is it all morning?"

"Well." Zhuo Yuan and Yi got up, went to the terrace, and opened some curtains a little.

The sun really shines in.

Not just in the morning, but in the morning for quite some time.

Shen Yue couldn't help sighing, "I don't know why I slept for so long, but I'm fine, I don't feel any discomfort, and I feel more refreshed after a sleep, maybe... I've been revising things a few days ago, and my attention Too concentrated and a little tired?"

Hearing what she said, Zhuo Yuan still folded back and sat down on the side of the slump, frowning slightly, "Wait until Cizhou, if you're still not feeling well, can you find a doctor?"

Shen Yue stepped forward and gently kissed his side cheek, "Okay, maybe it'll be fine today."

Shen Yue smiled.

Zhuo Yuan frowned slightly.

Shen Yue also got up with her clothes, she was too sleepy yesterday, so she won't be able to take a good look at the scenery by the river in the future. Right now, by the terrace, I saw that the merchant ships had already reached the middle of the river, with sparkling waves everywhere. The water of the river was blue and the river was very wide, like a natural barrier separating Cang Yue, Nan Shun and Chang Feng.

Also because the river is wide, even if there are so many cargo ships and merchant ships at the Shuocheng Wharf, they are not crowded on the river, they are scattered, and it takes a long distance to see one or two ships.

"It will take more than two days to arrive in Cizhou, do you want to go to the deck to have a look?" Zhuo Yuan invited.

"Okay." Shen Yue just wanted to go.

There are direct stairs to the top deck at the third deck.

The wind on the river is usually stronger than the wind on land, but it was early summer in April, and it wasn't too cold on the top deck, so Zhuo Yuan put a tulle cloak on Shen Yue, which was just right.

Leaning on the railing, the scenery is pleasant.

Shen Yue also remembered this journey, the trip was neither rushed nor slow, she had her own things to do, and most of the time she was leisurely, as if she had come to Namshun on purpose to make up for the newlywed honeymoon earlier.

Shen Yue stretched out her hand and rubbed her hair. She missed her aunt and uncle, Liang Ye, Han Sheng, and the little ancestors of the Pingyuan Palace, Zhuo Xin, Uncle Tao, and others.

"What are you thinking?" Zhuo Yuan said at the right time.

Xu Shi faced Jiang Feng, and Shen Yue felt much more at ease, "I was thinking about what my aunt and uncle are doing, Liang Ye sent Han Sheng to Cang Yue, and it should have been a month since the departure. I'm used to it, I've never travelled far, I may be excited and nervous at the same time..."

Shen Yue smiled.

Zhuo Yuan also smiled, "Liang Ye is very safe, he sent Han Sheng to Cang Yue, you don't have to worry."

Shen Yue looked at him. He didn't have much time to meet Liang Ye, but the two got along very well and hit it off. He also praised Liang Ye a lot.

Zhuo Yuan thought of something else.

My uncle set off for Cangyue in mid-February. In fact, he was also in the direction of Shuocheng. He should arrive at Cangyue Xinyi in about ten days at night, and he should soon know whether Lianyuan is in Xinyi...

He hoped that the person in Xinyi would be Lianyuan.

If Lianyuan is still alive, but no one has informed him, there is only one possibility - Lianyuan feels that it is very good now and does not want to be found.

Zhuo Yuan lowered his eyes lightly.

When I was in a trance, I heard Shen Yue say from the side, "I still think about Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi, Zhuo Xin and Uncle Tao. I don't know how they are doing in Beijing?"

Zhuo Yuan came back to his senses and replied with a smile, "Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi are enrolled this year, and they both study together in the Qi family study. There are Xiao Wu and Qi Ge in the Qi family study, and Xiao Wu and Qi Ge will take care of them. "

Shen Yue nodded, she missed them a little.

***

In March, Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi and Zifeng went to the Qi family's family study together.

The relationship between the Pingyuan Palace and the General's Palace is close. Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, and Xiaoqi go to the Qi family to study, which is a matter of one sentence.

Zifeng is the grandson of Lord Zhang of the Censor Desk.

Master Zhang had some friendship with the deceased old general of the Qi family. When Master Zhang mentioned this, the old lady of the Qi family agreed to it, so Zifeng also went to the Qi family to go to school with Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi. In addition, among the familiar children, Xiaowu and Zig were also there. Most of the children knew each other, and the children quickly integrated into it.

In addition to practicing swordsmanship, Xiao Wu has also begun to study hard recently.

He had split small goals with A Yue before. If he wanted to drive Suisui and his second brother, at least he had to pass the homework first.

Xiao Wu doesn't like studying very much. He has a headache every time he studies, and it is much better for him to fight.

So Xiao Wu worked hard and was also struggling.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi are more serious than Xiao Wu in class. Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi are both meticulous children. It is easier for them to study in the Qi family than Xiao Wu. Zifeng also reads books well, even family studies. The best one, the teacher of clan studies likes Zifeng very much, saying that Zifeng's qualifications are very good, if he takes the test carefully, he may be able to be admitted to Qiming Academy.

But Zifeng shook his head, he just wanted to study at the Qi family.

He actually wanted to be with Xiao Wu, Qi Ge, Xiao Qi and Xiao Liu.

Since Xiao Wu had to study hard and read books, he asked Ah Si to take him to the bookstore, and Xiao Qi and Zifeng also followed.

Ah Si went to Zhiyuan Bookstore.

Zhiyuan Bookstore has a lot of books, and Xiao Wu has no idea where to start.

Xiaoqi and Zifeng were both stunned. With so many books, the owner of the bookstore is very knowledgeable!

After going to Zhiyuan Bookstore a few times, Xiaoqi and Zifeng could go alone, not with Asi and Xiaowu. Once, they happened to meet Xu Li at Zhiyuan Bookstore.

"Xu Xiang, is that you?" Zi Feng was surprised.

Xu Li also recognized Zifeng, "Xu Zifeng?"

Zifeng nodded again and again, Xu Xiang really remembered him, Xiao Qi greeted him politely, and Xu Li also recognized him, "Xiao Qi."

Xiao Qi smiled shyly.

Seeing the two of them reading on the desk on the second floor, they must have come together. Xu Zifeng is with Xiaoqi, that is to make friends. Xu Li did not reveal it.

Xiao Qi had known Xu Li earlier, and was more courageous, "Xu Xiang, we read a book earlier, and we didn't quite understand a passage, but we still have homework, can we ask you?"

Xu Li leaned over, "Of course."

Xiaoqi and Zifeng were overjoyed.

Zifeng immediately opened the page, pointed to the two lines above, and turned back to Xu Li and said, "Xu Xiang, how do you understand these two paragraphs?"

Xu Liwen said it again, it was easy to understand, and he was persuasive.

Both children remembered it instantly.

This afternoon, the two of them turned over a lot of books and homework that they didn't quite understand. Xu Li patiently solved the puzzles one by one. Xiaoqi and Zifeng were very grateful. When it was almost dusk, they should go home respectively, and then they both got up and turned to face each other. Xu Li said goodbye, and Xu Li also accompanied them for a long time. The two got up, and Xu Li also got up.

Xu Li sent the two of them to the data gate on the first floor, and Lian Zifeng suddenly turned around, "Xu Xiang, if we still have questions, can we come to Zhiyuan Bookstore to find you next time?"

There is hope in the eyes.

Xu Li was stunned for a while, then smiled warmly, "If I'm here, I can."

Both children smiled and nodded.

Xu Li didn't send it far.

But seeing the two children walking side by side, talking and laughing, the afterglow of the sunset fell on the two of them, as if plated with a layer of golden light.

The corner of Xu Li's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Later, Lian Zifeng and Xiaoqi often came to Zhiyuan Bookstore to ask him about his homework.

Sometimes Xu Li would come to Zhiyuan Bookstore no matter how busy he was. Uncle Liu told him that Young Master Xu from Lord Zhang's mansion was there.

He comes here almost every day after class.

And over time, Xu Li will come here every day.

Zifeng asked him questions earlier and asked him to help with his homework. Later, he would let Zifeng read the designated books, assign tasks and homework to him, and also discuss with him the expansion and insights outside the books.

These are all things that cannot be learned in the Qi family school.

But Xu Li was teaching him.

After the first prince, Xu Li never taught his students again.

Although he took the class for the master and corrected the homework, the only students who have taught in person over the years, apart from the first prince, have been Zifeng.

Xu Li likes Lian Zifeng very much, and almost spends his time outside the court.

Zifeng's name for Xu Li also changed from Xu Xiang earlier to later teacher.

***

In mid-April, Zhuo Yuan and Shen Yue also arrived in Nanshun Jingzhong from Cizhou.
