After coming out of Shouan Hall, Wang Zhong went to Changbai Courtyard, but unexpectedly he saw Qi Heng there again.

"My young father-in-law is here too?"

"Qi Heng has met Tongpan!" Qi Heng raised his hands and saluted Wang Zhong.

"We are all friends, why should the young master be so outspoken?" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"Why are Zihou here?" Changbai immediately showed a smile on Wang Zhong's face and asked hurriedly.

Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said straight to the point: "I will leave Beijing and return to Quanzhou tomorrow, so I came here to say goodbye!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chang Bai was also surprised when he learned the news.

Wang Zhongdao: "It's not too rushed. In fact, I had this plan a while ago, but I have been thinking about it and haven't made a decision."

"But it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, it's snowing everywhere, and the roads are difficult to travel. It's not easy to travel at this time!" Changbai said worriedly.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "If it's difficult to leave, then leave slowly. Just use practical actions to stop the mouths of those people."

Changbai was stunned when he heard this, and then a look of helplessness appeared on his face. He sighed, cupped his hands towards Wang Zhong and said, "In that case, I won't say anything else. Zihou will cherish it all the way."

Wang Zhong sat at the table, picked up the kettle and poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking it, he said: "Spring is approaching, so Zecheng won't come to see me off tomorrow. He will concentrate on studying at home and preparing for the exam. I'm waiting for the good news from Zecheng in Quanzhou.

!”

"You have always had a good idea, and you have never changed anything you have decided!" Chang Bai walked to sit across from Wang Zhong, glanced at Wang Zhong, and said helplessly, with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"After I leave, the sixth sister will have to trouble Zecheng to take care of her, so as not to be bullied by the fourth sister again!" Wang Zhong did not shy away from Qi Heng and said directly to Chang Bai.

Just as soon as these words came out, the smile on Chang Bai's face froze. Even with Chang Bai's determination, he couldn't help but glance at Qi Heng's reaction, then glared at Wang Zhong and said: "How did the fourth sister ever bully me?"

After passing the Sixth Sister, Zihou, please don’t talk nonsense.”

"Hahaha!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "You really can't help but be funny!"

"Okay, it's all said and done, and it's time for me to leave. Zicheng should study hard. The big admission will be followed by the junior admission. Unfortunately, I was in Quanzhou at the time and couldn't come back to have Zecheng's wedding banquet!

"

After finishing speaking, Chang Bai didn't wait for his attack. He stood up and cupped his hands towards Qi Heng and said, "Young Master, I'll take my leave now. You guys can review slowly!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, walking away in a hurry. Chang Bai watched Wang Zhong's leaving figure and felt a little emotional for a moment.

The time they get together is always short. After Wang Zhong leaves, if Changbai is also selected this time and chooses to go out, then the two of them will really be separated from each other. I don't know when they will see each other again.

But when Qi Heng looked at Wang Zhong's leaving figure, his eyes were a little complicated, and there seemed to be a hint of envy, unwillingness, and even jealousy.

Now Ming Lan, who is about to have haircuts, has already grown her eyebrows and looks slim and graceful. If we only talk about color, among the girls in the Sheng family, including Hua Lan, who is already married, they are a bit inferior to Ming Lan.

Qi Heng has been studying at Shengjia School for many years and has been classmates with Changbai Minglan and others for many years. It can be said that he has watched Minglan grow from a cute and cute little girl to what she is now.

Mu Shaoai, even though Minglan had made an engagement long ago, Qi Heng still couldn't help but be moved.

Early in the morning of the next day, at dawn, two carriages and eight fast horses slowly drove out from Zhuangzi outside Wangzhong City, merged into the official road, and headed straight to the south.

It was night, and the group of people hurriedly and slowly arrived at Xianping.

There was an official post beside the official road, and Wang Zhong and his party settled in the official post. Not long after it got dark, snowflakes started to fall from the sky.

Mrs. Wang Li looked at her daughter who was practicing with the gun and stick in the courtyard, and said distressedly: "Uncle, it's snowing here. Besides, we have been traveling all day today. Why don't we let Sister Qian have a rest?"

!It will be the same if you practice again another day.”

Wang Zhong stood in the wind and snow with his hands behind his back, staring at Wang Qian'er with his eyes motionless, and said calmly: "Sister-in-law, you should hurry up and prepare dinner!"

Although his tone was calm, it carried a majesty that could not be denied.

"Auntie, I'm not tired. I want to practice again!" After a few years apart, although her third uncle's requirements for her were more stringent than before, Wang Qier cherished staying with Wang Zhong.

During the time together, Wang Qier knew in her heart that her third uncle's strict requirements on her were for her own good, and she naturally did not want to live up to her third uncle's expectations.

"Don't be distracted!" Wang Zhong's voice reached her ears. Wang Qier quickly gathered her mind and continued practicing with concentration.

Mrs. Wang Li looked at her daughter distressedly, then at Wang Zhong, then turned around helplessly and went into the kitchen. She just wanted to prepare the meal quickly so that her daughter could rest and eat early.

After dinner, Wang Qier and her younger brother came to Wang Zhong's room carrying a bookcase.

"Third uncle!" The two siblings respectfully greeted Wang Zhong who was sitting behind the desk.

"Sit down!" Wang Zhong said calmly.

The two siblings sat opposite Wang Zhong. Wang Qier took out the Four Treasures of the Study and two thread-bound blue books from the book box!

One is "The Thousand Character Essay", which is for Brother Xu's enlightenment, and the other is "Han Shu", which Wang Qier is reading.

Different from the Four Books and Five Classics, which are read by scholars taking formal imperial examinations, Wang Zhong always only lectured on history and taught mathematics to Wang Qian'er, and occasionally mentioned the meaning of the classics, only in a few sentences.

There is no need to take the imperial examination, and learning the meanings of the classics is of little use. If you have time, why not tell Wang Qian'er more historical allusions, and then use the allusions to explain the truth, so that Wang Qian'er can learn mathematics carefully.

Those women who disguised themselves as men to take part in the imperial examinations and then became famous were just the illusion of some later authors. The ancients were not stupid, so they couldn't even tell the difference between men and women?

Even if they look alike, the naked eye really can't tell the difference, but before entering the imperial examination, you have to be checked and searched to prevent people from being involved. Unless you can bribe people in the Gongyuan, otherwise, it is just a fantasy for a man to dress up as a woman and enter the examination room.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Zhong first checked the homework of the two siblings, then talked for about half an hour, and then urged the two to do their homework.

Brother Xu's homework is to practice calligraphy, but he is too young, so the handwriting he writes is only slightly better than that produced by chicken claws.

Wang Qier looked at the math problems assigned by Wang Zhong and scratched her head. She didn't know how to start for a moment.

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Come in!" As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, Mrs. Wang Li had already walked in with the maid carrying a tray: "I cooked some pear soup. Uncle taught Sister Qian that they have worked hard, drink some to moisten your throat!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Wang Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Let's take a rest first and have a bowl of pear soup before we talk!"

Wang Qier was immediately relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

This girl was quite smart when she was young, but as she got older, her talent was far less than before. Fortunately, she still had some talent in martial arts and her temperament was tough enough.

"Uncle, Sister Qian and Brother Xu are still young. They have to travel during the day and study at night. Could it be..." Ms. Wang Li was worried about her children's health, fearing that they wouldn't be able to bear it. That's why she acted like this

One word.

Wang Zhongdao: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll be watching in person, there won't be any problems."

Wang Li opened her mouth when she saw this, but she couldn't say the rest of the words.

Early the next morning, the snow stopped before dawn. After breakfast, the group left the inn and set off again. Wang Li took his son and two female envoys who were close to him in the carriage. Wang Zhong led Wang Qier and Huan Huan.

Yu Chuer and several guards rode on horses and continued southward.

"How are you? Are you still used to it?" Not far after walking out, Wang Zhong asked Wang Qier next to him.

Originally, Wang Qier was riding in the carriage with her mother and younger brother, but it was she who requested to ride with Wang Zhong.

Wang Qier was wearing a thick cotton coat, a hooded cloak, a thick leather hat on her head, a scarf made by Wang Li herself, and gloves on her hands.

.

"Not bad!" Wang Qier said: "Uncle Third, at our current speed, how long will it take to get to Quanzhou?"

"Probably more than a month!" Wang Zhong said.

"Ah?" Wang Qier's face suddenly showed a bitter look: "It will take more than a month?"

"Then can we return to Yangzhou before New Year's Eve?" Wang Qier turned around and asked again.

Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "I'm not sure either!"

Their journey in winter was blocked by heavy snow, and now that they were in the north, the situation was hard to say. After all, even the highways of later generations might be blocked by ice and snow, let alone now.

"Hey!" Wang Qier sighed, quite helplessly.

"It's so good, why are you sighing!"

"I thought I could celebrate the New Year in Yangzhou this year!" Wang Qier said a little disappointed.

"Want to go back to Yangzhou?" Wang Zhong turned to look at Wang Qier and asked softly.

Wang Qier nodded and said, "My mother-in-law and I haven't been back to Yangzhou for several years!"

Wang Chong smiled and said: "Then when we get to Yangzhou, let's stay a few more days!"

"Really?" Wang Qian'er was overjoyed immediately, but before she could be happy for a second, the smile on her face immediately disappeared with the wind: "Forget it, the third uncle has to rush back to Quanzhou to take office. When we pass by Yangzhou, we will go back

It’s enough to pay homage to Dad and Aweng, there’s no need to stay longer.”

Listening to his niece's sensible words, Wang Zhong couldn't help but smile on his face: "Our dynasty has always governed the world with benevolence and filial piety. As an official of the court, I have been an official abroad for many years. Now when I pass by my hometown, why don't I go home to pay homage to my relatives?

The principle of offering incense is to stay a few days longer and show your filial piety, and no one else can fault you!"

"Besides, as long as I behave upright and sit upright, I don't need to care about other people's opinions! Officials are wise kings, so naturally they won't dislike me just because of the impeachment of a few people!"

Although Wang Qian'er is not very old and is not very good at reading, changes in her family since childhood have made this little girl's mind much more mature than her peers.

"Is everything really okay?" Wang Qier looked at Wang Zhong uncertainly.

Wang Zhong smiled and replied softly: "Of course it is true!"

Wang Qier's face immediately showed a smile again: "Then let's stay in Yangzhou for three days?"

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "It shouldn't be a problem to stay here for three to five days."
