Li Jiuzhou returned to his house and saw Zhang Xiaoluo and Old Man Zhang playing around. He felt a little annoyed: "Didn't I tell you to study quickly? Why are you still playing here? You too, at such an old age, are you still following me?"

What is a child playing with?"

Zhang Xiaoluo stuck out his tongue, quickly got into the room and pretended to read.

But Old Man Zhang said with disdain: "Don't just let him study all the time, you have to let him relax for a while."

"From now on, you can help me take care of this kid at home." Li Jiuzhou turned to Li Chongniang and said.

"I will definitely do it when I have time." Li Chongniang is not much older than Zhang Xiaoluo, but her temperament has become much calmer, and she looks like the head of the family.

Only then did Li Jiuzhou realize that she still had to run a porridge shop, so she might not have that much time, so she couldn't help but said to Zhang Xiaoluo inside: "You should be more conscious in the future. You are such a big person, so don't let people worry about you all the time.

"

body

Seeing that his temper was unreasonable, Zhang Xiaoluo did not reply. Instead, Li Chongniang quickly comforted him: "Don't be angry, he is not a child anymore."

The three of them entered the room. Zhang Xiaoluo quickly put down the book in his hand and served tea to Li Jiuzhou. Li Jiuzhou glanced at him and asked: "How are you doing lately, have you made some progress?"

Zhang Xiaoluo grew up as an illiterate book boy and was tutored by Du Fu in Li Jiuzhou. Now he has some ink in his stomach and nodded with a smile.

Li Jiuzhou glanced at the room again and asked, "Why don't you see Miss Feng? Are many of you going to the workshop again?"

Li Chongniang said with a smile: "She is a very busy person. She is very worried about your silk business."

Li Jiuzhou also smiled and said: "With her in charge of the workshop, I save a lot of worry."

After Li Chongniang heard what he said, she suddenly asked coquettishly: "It seems that I treat you quite well."

Li Jiuzhou spurted out the tea that had just arrived in his mouth, and waved his hands repeatedly: "These are two different things."

Seeing Li Chongniang's confused look, Li Jiuzhou pinched her cheeks distressedly and winked at her. Li Chongniang understood and knew that they still had something to talk about, so she stood up and left.

"Can you memorize all 4 books and 5 classics?" Li Jiuzhou asked Zhang Xiaoluo, who gave him a cup of tea.

Zhang Xiaoluo pursed his lips tightly and said, "Almost..."

Seeing his guilty look, Li Jiuzhou thought for a while and said seriously: "Do you want to learn a few foreign languages?"

Zhang Xiaoluo had long been tired of reading these books. When he heard something new, he smiled and said, "It would be best if Alang could teach me when he has time."

Li Jiuzhou shook his head slightly and said softly: "I don't have time to teach you."

"Then where can I go to learn foreign languages?" Zhang Xiaoluo said, "No one in our house understands foreign languages ​​except you."

Li Jiuzhou laughed at himself slightly: "Actually, I don't know much about it. If I want to really learn, I have to go abroad."

"Abroad?" Zhang Xiaoluo hesitated slightly.

As he has grown up, the only places he has been to are the places he went to with Li Jiuzhou. Although he is also curious about what it is like abroad, he does not want to be too far away from Li Jiuzhou.

Li Jiuzhou sighed deep in his heart. This little book boy of his was a relative, and he had the responsibility to help him grow and learn more things.

"Do you want to go abroad to visit?" Li Jiuzhou asked with squinted eyes.

"I want to go." Zhang Xiaoluo blurted out, "But I don't want to be too far away from Alang."

Li Jiuzhou patted his head gently and said with a smile: "I'll come back after I go."

Zhang Xiaoluo opened his mouth wide and murmured for a long time before he could formulate his words: "Where exactly is the foreign country?"

"A place far, far away," Li Jiuzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "I think your temperament suggests that it would be quite suitable to go to Japan and Europe."

Zhang Xiaoluo didn't know what place he was talking about, so he lowered his head and said, "I suddenly... don't want to go."

"That is, at such a young age, can you bear to send him to such a far away place, helpless?" Old man Zhang complained to Zhang Xiaoluo, "Those countries are not as good as the Tang Dynasty. If you want to learn knowledge, don't you?"

If he has to go far away, why don't you build a school yourself? Why don't you let him go to the school?"

Li Jiuzhou smiled and shook his head: "This is different. He is not young anymore. He has to learn to be independent. And you all don't know the benefits of studying abroad. There are many things in foreign countries that are worth learning from, but it's a pity that I have never gone there myself.

However, it will be difficult to realize this wish in my life."

With a faint bitter smile on Zhang Xiaoluo's face, he said: "As long as I can help A Lang, then I am willing to go."

Li Jiuzhou was stunned for a while, and then spoke with a wry smile: "I can see a hundred reluctances from your eyes. In this case, let's talk about it later."

In fact, Li Jiuzhou wanted to send Zhang Xiaoluo to Japan.

p

Because at this time, Japan was very friendly with the Tang Dynasty, and everything was imitated in the culture of the Tang Dynasty. If I sent him there in an official name, he would inevitably be reused in Japan.

Japan sent many envoys to the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty sent very few people to Japan. He gained attention there, and with the support of himself and the emperor, if he develops well in the future, he might become a man who controls the situation in Japan.

1 big shot.

It would be best to establish a sect there, deeply imprint the culture of the Tang Dynasty on Japan, and change Japan's future situation.

But now Li Jiuzhou no longer wants to dream about this matter, and said calmly: "If you don't want to go there to study, it's also good to travel."

Zhang Xiaoluo lowered his head and thought for a long time. He seemed to have considered something important and never nodded.

After a long while, he raised his head and said, unhappy and speechless: "But how long will it take to come back?"

Li Jiuzhou frowned and said, "Don't you love to play? Let's go out and play in peace for a few years."

Zhang Xiaoluo heard this and quickly said: "How many years! So long? I won't be playful anymore, I want to study hard."

"You are still young, and you have a lot of time to waste. You might as well go out and see the world." Li Jiuzhou said with a serious face: "There are many things in the world that you have never seen."

"Are there any candied haws on a stick, a paper kite, or a clay figurine in other countries?"

Li Jiuzhou rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

"Actually, I really want to go out and have a look." Zhang Xiaoluo's eyes were full of longing for the unknown, "It's just that I'm a little scared and a little uneasy when I think of leaving you."

Li Jiuzhou smiled and said: "Silly boy, everyone will always be afraid before they learn to be truly independent."

Zhang Xiaoluo thought carefully for a long time and replied: "So, I decided not to go and finish reading these books at home."

Li Jiuzhou was stunned, watching Zhang Xiaoluo pretending to run off to study.
