Due to his conscience, Qin Zhao and the little emperor had no relationship other than teacher and student.

At first, he concentrated on handling government affairs, and for a time he felt that the kid was a hindrance and a dull person. If his parents had not taught him to support the imperial power, and there was really no substitute in the royal family, he would have long ago not wanted to take care of the kid.

The emperor.

But Jingli doesn't know these things.

When he thought about the little emperor receiving Qin Zhao's teachings and seeing his first graceful appearance, he felt extremely sore.

How come he didn't encounter such a good thing?

Qin Zhao reasoned with him: "I haven't been born in ‌ years."

"But now that I was born, you didn't take me back." Jing Li said righteously, "Yes, that's your problem. You wanted to take me back to the capital in ‌‌ years, how could you?

Is there so much trouble? Maybe even the assassination can be avoided."

Qin Zhao: "..."

False reasoning.

He was still busy with retirement affairs at that time, so how could he go to all the trouble to bring a fish back to Beijing? He didn't have to know in advance that his future husband would like this in the future.

He will do whatever it takes to keep him by his side.

It's a pity that there is no if.

"No, seeing as you're behaving pretty well now, I forgive you." Qin Zhao was still worrying about how to coax him, and when he saw Jing Li, he said softly.

Qin Zhao raised his eyes, saw the other party's proud look, and reacted: "You did it on purpose."

Jing Li didn’t say anything.

Qin Zhao patted the seat next to him: "Sit here."

Jing Li hesitated for a moment, and Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows, with a hint of threat in his eyes.

"..."

Jing Li walked away obediently.

Being hugged by ‌.

"They will be seen." Jing Li grabbed his wrist and whispered.

"Are you afraid? I don't know how to do anything..." Qin Zhao put his palm against the other person's waist and rubbed it gently as if he was interested, "Any time you learn bad things, you will scare me."

"without……"

"No?"

"That's all." Jing Li said, "You and the little emperor have such a close relationship, why don't you get jealous?"

"He and I are innocent, not to mention he doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend." Qin Zhao said, "You clearly know that I..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Jing Li tilting his head to look at him, with some secret expectations in his eyes.

Just waiting for this sentence‌.

Qin Zhao stood up and said solemnly and gently: "You know very well that I only love you."

Everyone has different preferences when they fall in love. Qin Zhaoyuan doesn't talk about love. Besides, he and Jing Li have been together for such a long time, so he doesn't need those sweet words.

.

And Jing Li is not someone who talks about love casually.

However, Qin Zhao recently discovered that although Jing Li doesn't like to talk, he loves him very much.

Jing Li didn't say anything, and didn't resist Qin Zhao's hug. He leaned on Qin Zhao's shoulder, listening to the sound of water hitting the side of the boat outside the window, with uncontrollable joy in the corners of his mouth and eyes.

It's as sweet as eating a piece of honey.

On the third day, the group finally arrived at the pier in the town.

Qin Zhao did not disclose the specific time of returning to the village this time, and no fellow villagers came to pick him up at the pier. However, their attire was no longer like ordinary villagers, so it attracted a lot of attention.

Ah Qi first went to the inn to look for a carriage. Qin Zhao held the fish cub in one hand and held Jing Li in the other, finding a slightly secluded place on the roadside to wait.

Beside him, several villagers were chatting.

"Brother Shunzi, have you gone to Linxi Village again? I told you that Master Xie Yuan wouldn't come back so soon. Isn't there still no news from their village chief?"

"If you don't go and see with your own eyes, who would know that he hasn't come back yet, and he deliberately didn't say anything." The man drove the bullock cart and stopped beside Qin Zhao and the others. "You don't know."

, Ever since I learned that Linxi Village had a Jieyuan, how many towns and villages around here want to become their teacher. If I don’t go there a few more times, others will beat me to it!”

"Don't you really not want your son to take the imperial examination? Have you suddenly figured it out?"

Then heheheyi: "Can't you? Now I can see the benefits of studying. If my son can also take the exam, no, he can be a scholar, which is comparable to the

I will be stronger for the rest of my life."

"...Speaking of which, I met Qin Zhao and his husband from afar when they left home. Who would have thought that after more than a year, things would be different from what they used to be."

These two people were sitting next to Qin Zhao and Jing Li and didn't notice them. But when the little fish saw the familiar name, he lay on Qin Zhao's shoulder and stuck his head out: "Huh?

"

Qin Zhao and Jing Li looked at each other, walked aside quietly, and silently moved farther away.

Xiao Yuzai said in a sweet voice: "Abba... they are talking about Abba."

"Well, I'm talking about daddy." Qin Zhao responded.

"Why?"

The little boy looked up at his father, wondering why he mentioned Qin Zhao and why Qin Zhao left silently.

Jing Li interjected: "Because your father is very powerful."

The little fish blinked, as if he still didn't quite understand.

Ah Qixun's carriage had already arrived. Er‌ did not explain any more and got into the carriage with the fish cub in his arms.

The carriage was swaying on the mountain road, and Jing Li looked outside. It was almost noon, and it was the time when many villagers who came to the town for the market were returning to the village.

There was a lot of walking on the road, but you can still see some slight differences from where you were before.

Jing Li said: "There are too many people holding books in their hands."

On the mountain road, many villagers are carrying books in their hands or in baskets on their backs. If you look farther away, you can still see some people reading in the open space in the mountains.

"I didn't expect your influence to be so profound." Jing Li sighed with emotion.

Two years ago, when Qin Zhaohe, the village chief, wanted to set up a private school, many villagers still disagreed. Unexpectedly, now, so many people are willing to study.

Qin Zhaodao: "They just lack an example."

The people in these remote mountain villages do not resist studying, but they have made a living by farming for generations. They are used to this kind of life, and few are willing to make changes.

But as long as someone takes this step and succeeds, the people will see the benefits and they will naturally follow suit without any persuasion.

Therefore, in towns and villages where the Gongsheng Examination is held, the reading atmosphere is far better than in other areas, and more talents are produced than in other places. Qin Zhao has already seen a lot about this in his past.

Second-rate.

After climbing over the hill, we came to the plain outside Linxi Village.

This place has been the same for decades, and after being away for more than a year, the scenery has not changed in any way. Now at the end of the autumn harvest, the cut golden wheat straw is piled on the edge of the fields, and there are farmers working in the fields.

"It's a good harvest year," Jing Li said.

After a while, the carriage stopped outside Linxi Village.

There were many people working in the fields outside the village. When they saw a strange carriage coming, they all raised their heads.

"Then ‌...then ‌ Qin Zhao?!"

"‌Qin Zhao, Mr. Qin Zhao‌ is back!"

"Go and inform the village chief!"

Qin Zhao did not mention the reason for writing the letter this time because he wanted to keep a low profile. During the year he was in Fucheng, the village chief helped him a lot. He just wanted to return to the village in a low profile this time and visit and greet the village chief.

Too much alarm, who knows...

The plan failed before entering the village.

The news spread quickly, and soon people gathered at the entrance of the village.

The man walking at the front had just come back from the fields. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked a little reserved: "Qin... Qin, why did you come back today and didn't write a letter to tell me?"

Just call us and we will pick you up in the town!"

"Brother Dali doesn't need to be called like that, just like ‌." Qin Zhao said.

Now, this person is Li Dali, who first rented the land to Qin Zhao. They have not seen each other for more than a year. This person's skin has been tanned several times, and Jing Li almost didn't recognize him.

"Hey, get out of the way, let me take a look." One of them squeezed up and said, "Qin Zhao, I don't want to go back to the village when I get rich, it seems I still have a conscience.

!”

"Where is Uncle Lin?" Qin Zhao said, "I have been taking care of you for many years. Qin Zhao dare not forget."
