Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 576 Teacher

With the development of Shangfang's technology, the carriage has become more and more stable, and it does not shake as before. This is mainly because the elder always uses some old ministers to do things for him. He is afraid that they will not be able to reach the destination, so he ordered Shangfang to improve the carriage. .

Chen Mai is sitting on the carriage now, drinking tea calmly. Although the carriage still shakes a little, Chen Mai is tall and powerful, and he serves the tea very steadily. However, his wife Liu Yan is not as responsible as he is. It was her first time to Chang'an. Along the way, she kept sticking her head out and looking around.

Sometimes if you find something interesting, you have to ask the driver to stop and go down to play for a while, just to play by yourself is not counted, and you have to pull Chen Mai down together, and Chen Mai's expression is getting more and more complicated.

Finally, the carriage approached Chang'an.

"When you arrive in Chang'an, you prepare some gifts. A courier sent a letter saying that my friend is getting married. You must prepare well."

"Why is your friend so philandering that he wants to get married every year?"

"My best friend is not the same every year when I start a family!"

"This is the last of my best friends who never had a family."

Liu Zhen suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked: "Then why did he start a family so late?"

"how could I know?!"

"Didn't those people under your command flatter you every day and say you're smart? Why don't you just think about it?"

Chen Mai closed his eyes directly, and decided to ignore this silly woman.

Liu Yan was still chirping, "How many friends do you have?"

"Is the emperor really tall?"

"Is your friend Lu's house really made of gold?"

"Is there no city wall in Chang'an?"

Chen Mai just kept a straight face, closed his eyes tightly, and silently read the books he had read in his heart, ignoring her rambling words as much as possible.

Finally, with the torment along the way, they finally saw the city wall of Chang'an. Unfortunately, Chen Mai did not enjoy Guan'a's treatment, mainly because Guan'a's wedding was approaching, and all the sages were busy preparing for him. After all, starting from Lu Lu, everyone can be regarded as his elders when it comes to making arrangements for the marriage.

But it's not that no one came to greet them, Lu Lu stood at the intersection with a smile, and Zhou Yafu was standing beside him, and these two were the only ones who came to greet them.

Chen Mai smiled and got out of the car.

"Hahaha, you're finally here. I thought you were going to miss my grandson's wedding. It's great if you can come!!"

Lu Lu stepped forward with a smile, and patted Chen Mai on the shoulder a few times. When the three met, Chen Mai also changed his indifferent attitude and started talking with them. Liu Yan secretly watched in the car, Seeing his lover's enthusiastic appearance, he muttered and said in a low voice; "It's actually happier to see my friend than to see me!"

"Buy, His Majesty was going to greet him in person, but just as he was leaving, Young Master Ci committed a crime and His Majesty is dealing with it. He will come over after the fight and other people are helping Ah prepare for the wedding. Tomorrow is the big wedding." Well, there are a lot of things to do today."

"No problem, no problem."

"The two of you are doing well. One is rich and rich, I can hear rumors about you in Berkshire, and the other is a chariot general. Will you be a general next year?"

"Haha, it's you who don't want to go up. You say you don't want to go up, and you don't want to. What is there that makes the two of you so obsessed?"

Chen Mai smiled, "Ah didn't want to come because he wasn't talented enough, and I didn't leave because I haven't finished my business yet."

"However, it's still two thousand stones. At the beginning, we brothers have achieved our own achievements. We have lived up to our original vows. We have accomplished a lot, and we have lived up to the high expectations of our fathers."

"That's right, Xia Houzao told me earlier that our achievements now not only live up to my father's high expectations, even if my father came to pay him a favor!"

Lu Lu couldn't help but joked about Xia Houzao, and Chen Mai hurriedly followed, "Oh? He still said that he didn't live up to his father's high expectations? Shouldn't his father not live up to his high hopes?"

"Hahaha~~~"

Zhou Yafu shook his head with a smile, "You guys started again!"

"No matter how you say it, Zao is our brother. You actually talk about him behind your back. You should say it in front of him! Anyway, he doesn't understand, and maybe he will applaud you."

Pointing at Zhou Yafu, Chen Mai scolded with a smile, "You've learned badly too!"

Zhang Buyi is cold in front of outsiders, but enthusiastic in front of the emperor, and these sages will only become enthusiastic and happy when they meet other sages, and they still have to maintain their own personalities at other times.

The three happily walked towards Chang'an City.

In Houde Hall, Liu Ci was screaming, Liu Chang put him on his lap, and slapped his ass a few times, Liu Liang trembled in fright.

"Father!! Wronged!! Wronged!!"

"Still wronged? In this palace, who else would dare to steal my car?! You rebellious bastard, where did you hide Naigong's car?!"

"It's really not me!! I'm wronged!!"

Liu Ci raised his head and yelled, with inexplicable grief and indignation on his face.

At this moment, a servant hurried in and whispered something in Liu Chang's ear. Liu Chang's face changed drastically, and he immediately dropped Liu Ci in his hand, "Really?"

"yes."

"Hey, wait for a while, take this, and send it to me quickly."

The attendant nodded, and looked at Liu Ci who was humming, "It seems that Your Majesty has wronged the young master."

"It doesn't matter, this stick will cause trouble sooner or later anyway, if you hit it first this time, it will be the next time."

"Your Majesty is wise!!"

"Buy it, we have already set up banquets for you"

Lu Lu looked at Chen Mai anxiously, Chen Mai smiled and replied, "I'm going to stay here for many days, and I can drink wine sooner or later. My wife misses my child very much. I haven't seen her for a long time. Father is dead, and father is not in good health, I'd better go back first and get together at the wedding tomorrow."

Lu Lu originally wanted to drag Chen Mai to the banquet directly, but Chen Mai was thinking about Guan Ah's marriage tomorrow, so he wanted to go back to his home first. Lu Lu couldn't say no to him, so he agreed and sent him all the way home the door.

"Actually, you don't have to worry about your father. Your father is doing well now. He has been going out with the Marquis of Huaiyin all day long. He had a great time playing. What are you worried about?"

Chen Mai frowned, that's what he was worried about.

Despite repeated invitations from Chen Mai, Lu Lu and others did not go in with him. On the one hand, Chen Mai had just returned and did not want to disturb his reunion with his family. On the other hand, it was Qu Nihou’s mansion. Who dares to take the initiative to approach Qu Nihou.

When Chen Mai walked into the house, Chen Hui raised his head abruptly, shouted at Father, and quickly rushed into his arms.

Chen Mai hugged his son with a smile, Liu Yan also came out, and the two surrounded his son. Chen Ping, who heard the sound in the inner room, couldn't help but also came out, and saw his son who came back at a glance.

Chen Mai put down his son and walked up to Chen Ping. The husband and wife visited him.

At first, Chen Mai was not too close to his father, and he always felt a little strange, until he also had a son. After he had a child, he gradually understood his father, and he no longer had the same attitude as before. This time Greetings, probably the most sincere salutation he has made to his father in his decades of life.

Chen Ping was still the same, with a stern face, and he was not the slightest bit close to him.

"Father!"

Liu Yan raised her head and smiled. This was the first time she saw her husband, and unlike her attitude towards Chen Mai, Chen Ping still nodded friendly to her daughter-in-law.

Liu Yan was playing with the child in the courtyard, while Chen Mai was sitting in the study with his father. The father and son had not seen each other for a long time, and they had a lot to talk about.

"Father... are you alright?"

"All right."

The two were silent again, and Chen Mai asked again: "I heard that you are in charge of business again, aren't you too tired?"

"will not."

"By the way, Father, I heard many times on the way here that you have been a little close to the Marquis of Huaiyin recently, which is not good. I am not afraid of His Majesty, I know what kind of person His Majesty is, but, Huaiyin Hou, basically all the people who get along well with him, "

Chen Mai didn't elaborate, but the meaning was very clear.

You can't make friends with bad boys!

The Marquis of Huaiyin has a characteristic that can kill all his friends. Every time he rebels, he is fine, but a large number of people around him will die. Chen Mai is not worried about the emperor's jealousy, but he is afraid that the Marquis of Huaiyin will have a brain twitch one day and kill his father. Damn, originally these two heavyweights couldn't get too close.

Chen Ping couldn't help but frowned, "Mr. Chen has just returned home, so he has to think about how to discipline me?"

"It's not about discipline, it's just about worrying about you."

Chen Ping glanced at him, and said just now: "At my age, what else do I need to worry about? Even if he wants to kill me, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that time."

"Father!!"

"Okay, you'd better go and rest first."

Just when Chen Mai and a few people were having dinner and were about to take a break, a guest came, and of course Chen Ping's guest was the Marquis of Huaiyin.

When Chen Ping went out, the Marquis of Huaiyin was sitting on a chariot. The chariot pulled by six horses looked so conspicuous. The corner of Chen Ping's eyes twitched, but Han Xin said calmly: "A few days ago The road to the place I went to was not smooth, this carriage is the most stable, and you won't get tired like that again."

Chen Ping was not in good health and couldn't bear the shaking, so Han Xin bought this car specially.

It's just that not everyone can ride in this car.

"Is this what you and His Majesty want to come?"

"I sent someone to bring it directly, anyway, just return it to him when it's used up, get in the car!"

Chen Ping squinted his eyes, but Han Xin was a little impatient. He had been discussing with Chen Ping about the future of the big man these days, and his strategy for the Quartet was not just about poisoning himself, but also including Tang Guo, Yan Guo, Even Wajima is in their strategy.

The two chatted very well. Han Xinchang and strategy, while Chen Ping paid attention to details. If someone can record the conversation between the two of them, Han Xin is very happy and will gradually learn to achieve something. Chen Ping became his friend.

It's just that his friend's body is too weak. Every time he travels and sits in the carriage, his face becomes extremely pale, and he can't recover for a long time. His body always emits a strong smell of medicine. Han Xin wants to come I wanted to go, but in the end I thought of getting a stable carriage for my friend.

Among Chang'an, whose car is the most stable?

Of course, it belongs to the elder. His carriage was designed and made by Chen Tao himself. The horses pulling the carriage have been specially trained. The carriage is so stable wherever it goes. It is most suitable for the old and weak like Chen Ping. Han Xin This is the first time I do something for my friend.

Seeing Chen Ping's hesitation, Han Xin became even more anxious and waved his hand hastily.

Chen Ping smiled, looked at the carriage in front of him, and looked again and again, "You don't know, when I was young, I used to drive for respected people in the village. I have driven one horse and two horses. , this chariot of six horses has never been driven before."

When Han Xin heard this, he immediately said, "What's the matter? When I was in Chu State, I took a six-horse chariot many times, but it was not as safe as this one. If you want to try it, please come up, but be careful. Don't hurt your body."

If it were another person, he would never dare to ask Qu Nihou to drive for him. This is simply a humiliation, but Chen Ping doesn't care, and Han Xin doesn't even care. Even if Liu Chang comes to drive for Han Xin, Han Xin may not feel anything. inappropriate.

He didn't care about this at all. Chen Ping got into the carriage with a smile, asked the driver to get off, sat on it himself, pulled the rope, and the carriage set off. These horses are really obedient and effortless. Chen Ping drove the car and asked, "Where are we going?"

"The old place!"

Just when the two were about to leave the city, a knight finally caught up with them. When the knight saw the scene in front of him, he was also taken aback. He hurriedly saluted Chen Ping, and then handed the edict in his arms to Han Xin. "Junhou, this is His Majesty's edict, you forgot to take it."

Han Xin took over the edict, which said that the teacher was weak, and he lent the carriage to the teacher on purpose, etc.

Han Xin withdrew the edict in disdain, "This Shuzi thinks a lot."

Chen Ping just smiled and didn't speak.

The wedding of Guanying is an extremely lively event in Chang'an, because all the sages participated, it became extremely lively, and the whole Chang'an was boiling. Even the farmers in the suburbs heard about Yingyinhou. The Hou Zi of the family got married.

It's just that the bustle outside is destined to have nothing to do with Liu An.

Because, today is the day when the assessment is completed, Liu An has to complete the final assessment, and then go to participate in Zhongfu's marriage. The main reason is that his father is going to participate, and he, the prince, has to go.

Because it was the last assessment, Liu An also came directly to the assessment site, sat in the upper seat, and looked at the more than forty scholars below. Individuals, that is to say, among these people, only the top twelve in the assessment can enter the county government, and the rest have to return without success.

However, this is not without benefits. At least, with this experience, they will have an advantage over others when they will be assessed next time.

Liu An sat on the top seat, but looked at Gongsun Hong sitting at the front from time to time.

This scholar who played the best in the assessment, Liu An has already investigated many things about this person. The more he knows, the more he appreciates this person. In Liu An's view, this person is simply three public capital.

This family is poor, and he used to raise pigs. When he was almost 40 years old, he only wanted to study. After studying for a few years, his knowledge surpassed that of others. He has shown super talent in all aspects. He is definitely a late bloomer. representative.

The most rare thing is that this person has a very good personality, neither like Zhang Buyi's helpless flattery, nor his desire to make enemies everywhere like Chao Cuo, nor even like Zhou Chang's stubborn and pedantic. Leadership without appearing ruthless.

This is a natural talent, Liu An's eyes are full of light when he looks at him.

This person is definitely going to get him under his command.

The assessment was officially over, and the scholars finally breathed a sigh of relief, and each stood up. Liu An was about to go to find Gong Sunhong, but Feng Tang hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is still waiting."

Liu An glanced at Gong Sunhong, "Okay, let's go to the wedding first, and then talk about other things."

After the assessment was over, everyone left one after another. Liu An hurried to the wedding with gifts. Gong Sunhong bid farewell to the scholars who came to thank him, took his things, and walked towards the teacher's mansion.

Gongsun Hong didn't have a house in Chang'an because he had no money. He always lived in the teacher's mansion, took care of the teacher's daily life, and studied with him all day long.

He walked into the courtyard, and saw the teacher sitting in front of a doll with a sad face, talking about something, as for the master, he didn't seem to be here.

"teacher!!"

Gongsun Hong paid a serious visit to Hu Wusheng. Seeing the return of this proud student, Hu Wusheng's face flashed with joy, and he nodded in relief, "You are back, you have performed well this time, Prince Everyone sent someone to inquire about your situation. Yes, very good."

Hu Wusheng looked a little tired, he couldn't help yawning while talking, which was actually a bit rude.

Gong Sunhong asked in surprise, "Teacher, what is this?"

Hu Wusheng seemed to be holding back his anger. He said angrily: "It's not because of the teacher. He accepted a new disciple, and it was this son who gave it to him. I don't teach it myself, but I want to teach it."

Gong Sunhong glanced at the doll, and Liu Ci also looked at him curiously.

Hu Wusheng was still complaining, "How can there be such a teacher in the world? He accepted his disciples and asked me to teach, but he went to study by himself. I have to do errands during the day, teach, read, and edit books at night. , as a teacher, can you order your disciples at will like this? As a teacher, you can."

He suddenly froze and turned to look at Gongsun Hong.

Hu Wusheng laughed, "By the way, Hong, I still have something to do as a teacher. How about it, I will leave it to you to teach the young master. You have read a lot of books yourself, but it is useless. You have to pay for it." Understand, teaching your disciples will also help you to understand, then it's settled!"

Hu Wusheng waved his hand, turned and left here.

Only Liu Ci and Gongsun Hong were left looking at each other, Gongsun Hong frowned and fell into deep thought.

"what are you thinking about?!"

"I'm thinking, should I accept a disciple too?"
