He spent several nights preparing for that lecture. The other days were either in class or tutoring exercises. Zhang Shou only felt that these were the most diligent days in his life - after all, even if classes were held at the same time in Banshan Hall and Jiuzhang Hall, he was in Banshan Hall.

In the hall, they only talked about some very basic history and mathematics, and in Jiuzhang Hall, they just left it to Lu Sanlang.

However, the next day, a rare day of rest, he was supposed to sleep until he woke up naturally, but his biological clock caused trouble and he woke up early. He had to stay in bed for a while before getting up to wash up and have breakfast. When he went to see Wu

, he got a hint from his adoptive mother and asked him to make an appointment with Zhu Ying to enjoy the autumn. He immediately couldn't laugh or cry.

But before he could even think about where to go to enjoy the autumn—there was no place in the capital today that was full of red leaves and could go back and forth in one day—he directly waited for Miss Zhu.

The excited Zhu Ying smiled when she saw him and said, "Ah Shou, will you go to Long Live Mountain with me to enjoy the red leaves today?"

"..."

If emojis could be used at this time, Zhang Shou believes that he can type a lot of them. In later generations, if you talk about admiring autumn in Jingshan, it will be really uninnovative and uncreative. But in this era, only a handful of people have been to Long live Mountain.

, and he could actually go there again for such a trivial reason as enjoying autumn? Even if he felt that the emperor seemed to be okay with him, he was not so narcissistic that he thought he was special.

Therefore, he couldn't help but stare at Zhu Ying with a strange expression, and asked cautiously: "Just the two of us?"

Ah Liu couldn't help but smile when he heard this conversation outside the door. But the next moment, Zhu Ying's answer unexpectedly surprised him - after all, he thought, Zhu Ying, who has always been clear about love and hate, should be straightforward and straightforward

Admit it.

"I thought about it too, but it's a pity that I can't do it this time!" Zhu Ying didn't know that there was a man listening in the corner at the door. She snorted and said in annoyance, "The emperor specially sent someone here to take you to Long Live Mountain to enjoy the red leaves.

Grandpa Taizu specially asked people to collect trees with red leaves in autumn and plant them on it... I have to guess, does the emperor want you to tutor the fourth prince alone? "

Can it still be like this? Zhang Shou found it incredible. He asked the third prince to go back and teach the fourth prince himself, so as to enhance the relationship between the two brothers and cultivate their independence at the same time. However, the third prince seemed to be struggling, so he relaxed and said

It was to allow the fourth prince to come to Zhang Yuan or Zhao Guogong's mansion and consult him alone. But now this situation...

Is it possible that the emperor is planning to find him as a tutor? How can he be so free? It is rare for him to take a day off, so how can he squeeze the labor force so much!

Seeing Zhang Shou's expression of resistance, Zhu Ying could only cough and said: "Just go into the palace and have a look. Maybe it's not for the fourth prince, but for your lectures and banquets in the future? Climb Wanshou Mountain, anyway.

It can relax your mind. If the emperor really makes any unreasonable request, I will refuse it for you! I already told him last time!"

Haha, probably apart from the Queen Mother, you are the only one in the world who dares to speak to the Emperor to his face!

Zhang Shou could only think in amusement, maybe this could be regarded as completing Wu's mission of inviting Zhu Ying to enjoy the autumn together. At that moment, he had no choice but to agree, but took Zhu Ying to talk to Wu first. As a result

, Wu's reaction was one of surprise and surprise. She kept saying that I had originally asked you to go enjoy the autumn, but now it's just the right time. She almost sent them to the second door in person, almost like driving them away.

Although Zhu Ying had sensed Wu's utilitarian thoughts, she didn't care at all. Although Wu hoped that Zhang Shou would flourish, she also tried her best to find various opportunities for her and Zhang Shou. Where could she find such a mother-in-law?

Go? So, she happily went out with Zhang Shou. When she saw people looking at the carriage in surprise, she coughed and said, "It's more low-key to enter the palace this way."

Miss, you have used your grandmother’s usual car, and you are walking down the street like a sedan with two horses at the front. Do you call this low-key? Do you believe that there will be a bunch of eyes behind us and notice that we are entering?

After entering Bei'anmen, it will spread to all well-informed people at the speed of light, and then spread to various official families?

Zhang Shou felt that it was ridiculous, but when he saw Zhu Ying's obviously guilty expression, he knew that people must also understand this, and this was just telling lies with open eyes, so after shaking his head, he stepped on the specially made

The carriage pedaled and got on the sedan. When the saddle was securely strapped and the horse carrying the sedan was moving forward steadily, he remembered the feeling of dizziness he felt when riding in the sedan when he entered the palace last time, and couldn't help but feel slightly in a trance.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a hand in front of him shaking slightly. When he looked up, he saw Zhu Ying's face very close at hand, as if he could kiss Fangze as long as he poked his head in. Although he had already kissed her

, but he still couldn't help but look at the rippling water without moving, his eyes that seemed to be talking, but he raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Yingying, I feel sorry for you that our good days have been delayed again and again. However, your eldest brother has his own master. Now look at the people around, it seems that only Zhang Chen is still a bachelor."

"It's true!" Zhu Ying then moved back, and two suspicious red clouds flew up on her face. Naturally, she would not admit that she just wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to make up for the kiss like a dragonfly touching water on her last birthday.

, regret that she never dared to get too close to him again. She looked around with wandering eyes, trying to lower the temperature on her face, until her hand was held by Zhang Shou, and she suddenly woke up.

She glanced at the person angrily, and then hurriedly continued Zhang Shou's topic: "Zhang Chen must marry a stunning woman, but how many stunning daughters are there in the entire capital? Even if you don't choose your family background, you can't find them within ten fingers."

What's more, it's difficult for a girl from a small family to cope with the interpersonal interactions of an official family, and Zhang Chen and Yong Ping have never looked at each other since they were young, otherwise it would be easier!"

After worrying about Princess Yongping, she complained again: "Don't look at Zhang Chen's soft words now. Even if a stunning beauty is standing in front of him, he still has to pick on people's character... This guy can only find someone

Only a heartless person can tolerate his temper!"

Hearing Zhu Ying's complaint, Zhang Shou said thoughtfully: "I do think that with Zhang Chen's temper, it might be interesting to marry a foreign beauty who doesn't speak the same language."

Zhu Ying immediately looked at Zhang Shou as if he were a monster, and then shouted angrily: "Ah Shou, you have more whims than I do, and you are not afraid that the Duke of Qin will be so angry that he will come to your house! He is now the governor of Shuntian. If he gets angry,

Get up, even Ah Liu can’t eat and walk around. Be careful, even buying rice and vegetables at home will be a problem!”

"Isn't this just what I'm talking about?" Zhang Shou quickly raised his hands in surrender, but he was jokingly thinking in his heart, how long can Zhang Chen's consciousness that he must be a stunning wife last? It is said that all the girls around him are the wives of the State of Qin.

I have chosen a stunning beauty, but if this is not enough, I also need a real wife who can surpass all other beauties... Will we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse before we can have a beautiful face and a peach blossom that can complement each other?

While chatting, the loaded sedan had already arrived at Bei'anmen. Since it was the Madam's vehicle, and after raising the curtain, she saw Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying sitting inside, so the guards guarding Bei'anmen naturally gave way immediately.

After watching people go in, someone was whispering, but it was not because Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were walking in the same sedan chair. The elders in Zhao Guogong's palace didn't care, and the Queen Mother and Emperor in the palace didn't care. Who would chew such a tongue? What they were curious about was, Zhang Shou

We have entered the palace again. How many times has this happened recently? Why did the emperor ask someone to come here this time?

The loaded sedan can still move freely within the imperial city outside the palace, so when Zhang Shou got off the sedan, he was already at the foot of Long Live Mountain. Having already climbed the mountain once, he thought of the difference when he overlooked the palace city on Long Live Mountain last time.

However, he then thought of Emperor Chongzhen's hanging on Meishan Mountain. When he heard Zhu Ying asking him to climb the mountain together, he pushed this thought out of his mind in a self-conscious manner.

It is a very pleasant thing to climb a mountain in this autumn season, especially when a beautiful woman is by your side, talking softly, and the feeling is even more pleasant. But as soon as he thinks that this is the mountain exclusive to the emperor, he

Unknowingly, it was easy to think wrong - but then he realized that even the concubines in the outer imperial city were not allowed to come out casually. At this moment, he heard two exclamations one after another.

"teacher!"

Zhang Shou looked up and saw the third prince running towards him like he was having fun, while the fourth prince who had also shouted just now stopped hesitantly after catching up with the first two steps. He instinctively

He looked around for the emperor, and when he found no one there, he patted the third prince's head out of habit, and then went to greet the fourth prince.

"Why, Zheng Jing, you can't come to Jiuzhang Hall after attending one or two classes, so you think I'm not a good teacher?"

The fourth prince did not expect Zhang Shou to speak to him in such a relaxed and casual tone. He was slightly startled and said angrily: "Didn't you ask sister Yingying to say to the father, isn't it good that I have been taking classes in Jiuzhangtang? I'm not as good as me.

Third brother is smart, I can’t keep up anymore, so you don’t have to worry about me going to Jiuzhangtang again shamelessly!”

Seeing that the fourth prince had turned around while he was talking, Zhang Shou couldn't help but feel a little amused at this awkward child. When he walked behind the person, he suddenly squatted down and put his hands under the person's armpits, and then lifted the person up suddenly.

The sudden move made the fourth prince scream in fright. Even the guards who were watching from a distance appeared in a hurry, but the third prince hurriedly waved them away.

Of course, Zhang Shou didn't have the strength to keep holding such a naughty child, so he put him down after a frightening start. Seeing that the fourth prince landed with lingering fear, he ran directly to hide behind the third prince and glared at him, so he lightly

He clapped his hands lightly.

"I still remember that when you two brothers first came to Banshan Hall to introduce themselves, you said that one was good at painting and the other was good at playing chess. I ask you, do you still paint and play chess now?"

In response to such a strange question, the third prince nodded vigorously without thinking, indicating that he was still drawing, but the fourth prince said with a low expression: "The homework is so difficult, how can I have time to play chess!"

"The homework is difficult, so are you willing to throw away the things you like?" Zhang Shou smiled this time and stepped forward to touch the fourth prince's head. Seeing that the prince pursed his lips and said nothing, he continued to speak unhurriedly, "

Moreover, do you think you really like arithmetic, or do you like the lessons that I, the teacher, taught you before?"

Seeing that the fourth prince's expression gradually changed, he took a few steps back and said with a slight smile: "Looking at you, you probably like my lectures. So yesterday I was giving lectures in the Imperial College, why didn't you go?"

"Of course I'm going!" the fourth prince said instinctively. When he found that the third prince turned around and stared at him in astonishment, he realized that he had been fooled. He was immediately ashamed and angry because he was so straightforward.

Said, "I just like to hear you talk about the past dynasties in a relaxed and interesting tone, much better than those old gentlemen!"

"What I said is just my own understanding, and some things are bound to be wrong. Although those old gentlemen said it as if it were from the book, but what they read is something that is recognized by all the scholars in the world, so you need two-factor confirmation, you can't

You all believe in me, but you can’t all believe in theirs. You know, the most important thing in reading is to question, do you understand?”

Zhang Shou casually changed the principle of questioning when doing science and instilled it into the fourth prince. Seeing that the little guy was stunned by what he said, he hesitated for a moment before nodding, and he smiled again.

"So, you made a bold statement before that you would be admitted to Jiuzhangtang again in the future, and then skip a grade to be in the same class as your third brother. What do you think now? Are you still willing to continue?"

The fourth prince's face, which had just cleared up, suddenly became gloomy again. Zhu Ying on the side was so anxious that she finally coaxed the fourth prince to change her mind. Now why is Zhang Shou not opening any pot?

Seeing that the fourth prince bit his lip and stopped talking this time, actually not insisting on taking the Jiuzhangtang exam again for the first time, while the third prince stared at the fourth prince with special expectant eyes, Zhang Shou said with a smile: "Every time

Everyone has something he is good at. For example, Lu Sanlang, asking him to take the imperial examination would be absolutely nonsense. And asking Zhang Chen to learn arithmetic would also be too difficult for others."

"Fourth Prince, you have a very good foundation. As long as you consolidate the foundation, it may not be a problem to take the Jiuzhangtang exam next year, but it is impossible to catch up with your third brother's progress. In fact, if you like my history lectures, I can

Just like the previous lectures, I will give lectures on foreign history in the Imperial College every now and then. Your third brother is under a lot of pressure in Jiuzhangtang, so if you ask him to do his exercises, he will have no time to listen!"

Hearing that the third prince couldn't listen, but he could, the fourth prince showed a surprised and happy smile. But when he saw that the third prince's face was also full of joy, and it was clear that he was happy for him, he felt a little

Dirty. Especially when he thought about how he had spoken so eloquently when Ah Liu carried him back to Jiuzhang Hall, and now he had retreated, he just felt extremely confused.

However, he really doesn't particularly like arithmetic. He just likes being with his third brother. He just likes Zhang Shou's eclectic classes... He actually doesn't like the black writing on the blackboard, and he doesn't like erasing the blackboard even more.

!

Thinking of this, the fourth prince took a deep breath and said decisively: "Teacher, next year...next year I will take the Jiuzhangtang exam. After all, this is what I promised in public. If I get in, I will study hard.

, but if I don’t pass the exam, I won’t take the exam! But if you really teach foreign history in the Imperial College, I will definitely go and listen!”

Zhang Shou couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw the third prince rushing towards him and hugging the fourth prince tightly. The two brothers looked harmonious and harmonious. He didn't even notice when Zhu Ying gently grabbed his hand.

When Zhu Ying praised her, he turned his head and smiled at her.

When the emperor, who had sent his two sons to see Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying in the Longevity Mountain, but was in the Qianqing Palace, finally received the news, he couldn't help but let out a light tut, and his mood was extremely complicated. Why did he feel that Zhang Shou knew better than him? Be a father?
