"This kid has been suffering outside for a few days, but he has made some progress."

Qian Haonan thought so in his heart, his face was still indifferent, he looked at the servant, and said, "Let him in."

"Yes, sir!"

The servant responded, turned around and walked a few steps, stopped again, looked at Qian Haonan, and said hesitantly: "Master, the young master brought two people with him this time."

When Qian Haonan heard this, his heart skipped a beat, he gritted his teeth and said, "This rebellious son can even mess with women in the countryside, I have to break his legs!"

Mess with flowers?

The servant was startled for a moment, then realized something, and hurriedly said: "Master, you have misunderstood, those two are farmers who took in the young master, one is old and the other is young, the older one is around sixty years old, and the young one is less than ten years old, the young master is I wanted to repay them, so I took them back to the house and took good care of them."

Two farmers, repay them?
Qian Haonan and Mrs. Qian looked at each other, feeling a little inconceivable.

They know better than anyone else what kind of virtue their son is.

No matter how much money is given to him on weekdays, he doesn't even say a nice word. He treats the people in the house, whether it's the two of them or the servants, in a nonchalant manner. Not gentle and courteous.

It's only when I go out to spend time and drink, and when I'm with those cronies, that I show some smiles.

Because he took care of two farmers for two months, he wanted to repay them and take them to live in Chang'an?

how can that be!

Qian Haonan pondered for a few seconds, waved his hands and said, "Understood, you can go down."

"Yes, sir."

After the servants left.

Qian Haonan's expression became serious, he looked at Mrs. Qian, and said in a deep voice: "Why did this kid suddenly bring the farmer here? Could it be that he is trying to play some trick to get money from the house?"

Madam Qian was silent for a few seconds, and said: "Don't always think of your son so badly, maybe Yong'er really just wants to repay him?"

Qian Haonan showed disdain, sneered, and said, "I don't know what kind of man he is. It is said that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. After two or three months in the countryside, you can improve and become good. There won't be so many prodigal sons in that day!"

Mrs. Qian was a little unhappy when she heard this, and frowned, "Master, what are you talking about? What is it that the world is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. Yong'er was very obedient when he was young, and he would do whatever he was asked to do." What, never feel tired, and will take care of the old man.

That is to say, you forced him to study, did not allow him to join the army, or even allowed him to practice martial arts, so he became what he is now. In the final analysis, it is your fault! "

Qian Haonan glared at her, and said angrily:

"You mean, I should let him join the army and fight the enemy? Do you know how many soldiers died on the battlefield, who are the same age as that little brat?
If you're willing to let him go too, I'll go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War right now and have someone arrange for him to be beside Bai Qi as a personal guard! "

Madam Qian fell silent when she heard this.

She would rather her son be a bastard and a loser than send him to the battlefield.

Especially in the current situation, there is no telling when the imperial court will fight Zhou Guo again. …

It used to be just a sword, hiding behind, it was not dangerous.

Now that there are muskets and cannons, even if he is arranged by Bai Qi's side, it is still possible that he will never return.

"Let him study and not let him practice martial arts. It's not because I only have one son. The court expressly stipulates that the only son can not go to the battlefield. Even Fang Xiang recruited new troops and did not recruit the only son. This is the reason I told him. How many times?
Moreover, who said that to serve the imperial court, one must go to the battlefield?Reading can also serve the court! "

When Qian Haonan said this, he sighed, waved his hands and said, "It's pointless to say these things now, since he brought those two people back, let's bring them back. In a few days, he will go back to the academy. I guess he will also There will be no storms."

When Mrs. Qian heard this, she really wanted to defend her son, but she didn't know what to say, because she knew in her heart that these words were not wrong.

After a long silence, he just sighed.

After a stick of incense.

Dressed in commoner clothes, Qian Yong came in front of his parents, stood up straight, saluted, and said, "My son pays his respects to his father and mother."

"you"

Qian Haonan looked at the well-behaved Qian Yong in front of him, and the words he wanted to reprimand were instantly stuck in his throat.

It was the first time for him to face such a son, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Madam Qian at the side looked at Qian Yong, her eyes turned red instantly, tears fell uncontrollably, she sobbed, "Yong'er, I haven't seen you for three months, why did you become like this?"

Originally, Qian Yong was not so tender among the children of the aristocratic family in the capital.

But compared with ordinary people, it is also very delicate.

However, today's Qian Yong not only has a tanned skin, but also has lost a lot of weight. Although he is much better than a farmer, in Madam Qian's eyes, he still deserves four words - skinny.

"My son, how much hardship you have endured in the past few months to become so thin, if you knew that you would suffer so much, if you beat mother to death, mother would not send you to that Mingxiu Academy!"

Madam Qian looked at Qian Yong, her heart trembled, and she couldn't help crying.

On the side, Qian Haonan also felt upset when he heard Madam Qian's mournful cry.

As the saying goes, when a son travels thousands of miles, the mother is worried, but Qian Yong is his only son. As a father, his mood is not much different from that of a mother.

The change in Qian Yong's appearance also made him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

As Minister of the Ministry of War, he climbed up from the bottom step by step, and suffered countless hardships during the period.

Because of this, he tried every means to protect his son and prevent him from suffering from his past, but
Hey, after all, things backfired.

Qian Yong didn't suffer any grievances in the past few years, but he has developed such a character.

Now, I only hope that the suffering he has suffered can bring him some growth.

Qian Haonan thought about this, and heard Qian Yongdao: "Mother, don't cry, my son doesn't feel that he is suffering. Even if he suffers, it is nothing compared to those farmers who work all day long but can't fill their stomachs."

When Qian Haonan and Madam Qian heard this, they were startled again.

Before he realized what happened, he heard Qian Yong continue: "Father, mother, my son has really thought about it these past few months, and what my son did was wrong before. Wu went to the battlefield, in the final analysis, to protect his son.  …

The son only thinks about himself all day long, thinking that one day he will go to battle to kill the enemy, make great achievements, and become a general, but he has never thought about the feelings of his parents. Can't do it.

If the son is really capable and has the backbone, he shouldn't be willing to degenerate like before, taking the money from the house and squandering it, but leaving the money house, supporting himself, and relying on his own ability to enter the Shenji Camp. Start, step by step upward. "

When Qian Haonan heard this, his heart trembled, and his eyes felt sour.

He never imagined that one day, his son who is known as "Chang'an's No. [-] Prodigal Son" would say such a thing.

I never thought that in just three months, a person could really change so completely.

perhaps
Yonger really changed?

Be reasonable and considerate of your parents.

Thinking of this, Qian Haonan involuntarily slowed down his tone, and said gently: "Yong'er, father is very pleased that you can think this way, but as long as father is still the Minister of the Ministry of War, you don't have to think about killing the enemy in battle. After all, there is a clear document in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion that a single seedling like you is not allowed to join the army."

Put it before.

After saying these words, Qian Yong would inevitably lose his temper, and it was common for him to smash furniture.

however.

At this moment.

Qian Yong, on the other hand, was very calm, and said calmly: "In the past three months, my son has thought a lot. Now going to battle to kill the enemy is no longer what my son pursues. What my son pursues is a more lofty ideal!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Both Qian Haonan and Mrs. Qian's eyes burst into surprise.

Although they don't know what Yonger's so-called "higher ideals" are, as long as their lives are not in danger, they will fully support them.

"What is a higher ideal?"

Qian Haonan stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and asked.

Qian Yong looked at Qian Haonan with a focused and serious expression, and said word by word: "To bring peace to all generations!"

Qian Haonan's expression was shocked by the short six words.

"Scholars take this sentence as an ideal, and if it is put into practice, what do you plan to do?"

Qian Haonan asked seriously.

Qian Yong was silent for a while, and said: "Judging from the three months that my son has lived in Liji Village, if he wants to bring peace to all generations, the first thing to do is to enable the people to support themselves. In the final analysis, it is just one word ——Nong, my son heard on the way here that several new academies have been built around Mingxiu Academy, including the Agricultural Academy, which specializes in farming.

The son originally planned to study at the Agricultural Academy and study farming well, but after thinking about it, he felt that farming was boring. Even if the son devoted himself to research, he would slack off in a short time, so the son thought about starting elsewhere.

The reason why the people are poor is that they cannot support themselves, and they are oppressed. What my son thinks about is how to protect them from being bullied! "

Speaking of this, he paused, raised his eyes to look at Qian Haonan, and said sternly: "My son heard that the imperial court has a decree to recruit a new batch of supervisory censors by taking advantage of the Jingchao and grand plans. This group of supervisory censors The number of history is huge, and will be dispatched to various states and capitals, and my son wants to be one of them.” …

Hearing this, Qian Haonan nodded in approval, and murmured:
"It is true that the Metropolitan Procuratorate recruited and supervised the censors on a large scale. This is an order from Prime Minister Fang, and it can be done without accidents. According to Prime Minister Fang's intention, first select a group of officials from the bottom. Use it, most of the remaining vacancies will be filled by Enke's Jinshi
Fang Xiang attaches great importance to this matter, and should be watching in person, Fang Xiang knows you, and it is absolutely impossible to send you to the Metropolitan Procuratorate quietly, but your father pulled his face and went to ask Fang Xiang , no accident, I can ask for a position for you, but Fang Xiang may not take care of anything in the future. "

Qian Haonan frowned, thinking about the possibility of asking Fang Xiang for a position.

He can be regarded as the fourth person in the party.

Besides Fang Xiang, Du Chen'an, Qin Xingyan, he is next.

In addition, he had unswervingly stood by Fang Xiang's side in the previous important decisions. Fang Ying should still give him the position of supervisory censor.

Thinking of this, Qian Haonan made up his mind to prepare generous gifts in the morning and go to the Xiangguo Mansion to discuss the matter with Fang Xiang.

however.

At this time, Qian Yong who was on the side suddenly said, "I don't need my father to handle this matter, my son has to rely on himself to become the supervisory censor!"

Qian Haonan was startled, and said: "How can you become a censor without fame?"

Qian Yongdao: "Didn't dad say that this year, with Enke, if my son can be a Jinshi, it would be very suitable to be the supervisory censor."

Hearing this, Qian Haonan couldn't help chuckling, and said: "It's not so easy to get a Jinshi. Many scholars who are hanging on their beams have read books for most of their lives, but they still haven't been able to get in. What's more, you have been in the past few years. Homework is almost wasted.”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Qian Yongdao:

"My son heard that this time the supervisory censor will be selected not only from Enke's Jinshi, but also from those who meet the age and can pass the examination."

Qian Haonan frowned: "Is there such a thing?"

Qian Yongdao: "Even if you don't, it's nothing more than studying hard. If you fail the exam this year, you will pass the exam next year. If you fail the exam next year, you will take the exam again in the next year. One day you will pass the exam."

Hearing this, Qian Haonan looked at Qian Yong subconsciously, and felt that he seemed to be a different person.

Of course, the changes here are good changes.

"Fang Xiang is still amazing! He actually figured out a way to let the students in the T-class class go to the village!"

"If there is no Fang Xiang, I am afraid that Yong'er will still be the same as before, not doing business properly, and becoming his number one prodigal son in Chang'an."

Thinking of this.

Qian Haonan was full of gratitude to Fang Xiu.

"Father is very pleased that you can think so."

The second time he said the same thing, Qian Haonan's tone became much firmer.

Followed by.

The two started a series of discussions around how to make the world peaceful.

During this period, Qian Yong actually proposed many interesting ideas, which even Qian Haonan, who is the Minister of the Ministry of War, did not think of.

Such a pair of father and son, who seemed to be incompatible before, are very harmonious now.

Time passed minute by minute.

I do not know how long it has been.

Qian Haonan said: "You must have been tired after rushing all the way back from Mingxiu Academy, so go back and rest early."

Qian Yong was not hypocritical, and replied: "Okay."

After speaking, he saluted and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Qian Haonan and said, "Father, I brought two people back from Liji Village, I want them to follow me, clean up and grind ink for me on weekdays."

At this moment, Qian Haonan was in the right mood, and waved his hand: "You brought the person back, how to deal with it, you have the final say!"

Qian Yong saluted again, turned and left.

Looking at Qian Yong's back, Qian Haonan felt that his mood was extremely smooth, and he looked at the servant beside him and said:
"Go to the Du Mansion, Qin Mansion, and Zhou Mansion and invite a few adults to come over. Tonight, Master, I will not stop getting drunk with them!"

The servant was startled and said, "Now?"

It's getting dark, it's a little inappropriate to go to the house to invite people to drink at this time, right?

Qian Haonan thought for a while, then waved his hands and said, "Tomorrow, let's set up a table in Yirenju and tell them what Yong'er has become after returning from Mingxiu Academy."
