Tao An said with a smile: "Bachelor Song is only eight years old, he is rich and rich, let him go back to his hometown Xianyun Yehe, it is better to stay in the academy to teach, it is useless for the old man to persuade for a long time, Xuanzhong will depend on you." As he spoke, he poked the somewhat stunned Madu with the handle of the fan.

Ma Du breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Isn't Master Song going to come to the academy to teach?" ”

"I heard that the old man didn't come to teach in the academy, I see that you are happy, rest assured that the old man has some family belongings for the elderly, and he will not come to you to play the autumn breeze." Song Lian pointed to the young man next to him who was serving tea and pouring water, "This is the old man's grandson Song Li, who is thirteen years old, and will come to the academy to take the exam in the autumn. ”

The young man put down the teapot and saluted, "My nephew has seen my uncle!" ”

"But the eldest son of the Zhong Heng family? I haven't seen you for a few years, and I've grown up so much, so I don't have to worry that my uncle will let you come to the academy to study. Madu reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Zhu Sheng put down the tea bowl, "I'm afraid you're worrying about it in vain, this child's Four Books and Five Classics and History Subset of Old Husbands have already passed the school examination, and they are all the best choices." Mr. Guo said that his arithmetic is not bad, and he will be able to be admitted to the academy in the golden autumn. If you have the heart, you are still thinking about how to keep Master Song. ”

Song Lian arched his hand and said: "Don't persuade a few gentlemen, this kid is afraid that he is reluctant to open the old man's salary, speaking of which, the old man is still the first time to come to the academy, Xuanzhong, you take the old man around." ”

As he spoke, he slowly got up and went out the door, and Ma Du hurriedly followed, and walked in front to introduce him to the special scenery of the academy or the research results.

Song Lian looked a little absent-minded, and sighed: "There are only you and me here, and the old man said straight to the point." ”

Ma Du brushed the stone bench on the edge of the flower bed with his sleeve, "Master Song, please take a seat, the students will listen." ”

Song Lian pulled Ma Du's sleeve and asked him to sit down together, "I'm ashamed to say it, the old man didn't teach you anything, you can do something, it's all the skills that the old layman taught you." ”

"Master Song, where to start, if you don't teach carefully, the students are afraid that they won't even be able to write a single word, and without your words and deeds, the students don't even know how to teach, and people say that I reprimand the students in the same tone as you."

"Huh...... It's hard for you to remember a little bit of the old man's benefits, even so, the old man begged for it cheekily. ”

"Whatever Master Song says, as long as it is something you order, students will naturally do what they can do, and they will do what they can't do."

Song Lian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "With your words, the old man is relieved, the old man's affairs are easy to do, and it is difficult to do." ”

Ma Du arched his hand and said, "Sir, although it is clear." ”

Song Lian's face was serious, "If possible, leave a root for my Song family." ”

Ma Du raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by this, sir?" ”

Song Lian sighed and said: "The old man gave birth to an unscrupulous offspring, no virtue and no character, the old man has an ominous premonition, my Song family will fall into a place of no return because of him sooner or later, and that day seems to be not far away." ”

Ma Du couldn't help but be a little surprised, the people of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't see the doorway, and Song Lian, who had always been honest and honest, actually noticed it, which may also be because Song Shen was implicated in it, and the sense of crisis was relatively strong.

"Mr. has a trust, the student will do his best, Mr. returned to his hometown when he lived in a simple place and had little contact with people, if there was something discordant, the student would try his best to deal with him in Beijing."

Song Lian said with a smile: "Berwyn once said before his death that although Xuanzhong is young, it can be seen that he is an old man who is very thorough, and the old man mentions it a little, and Xuanzhong will know what he is talking about." ”

Ma Du nodded and said, "I vaguely guessed something, but this matter has nothing to do with the students." I just happened to be at the right time, and the emperor just used it. ”

Song Lian patted Ma Du's hand and said in a very low voice: "The old man knows that it is none of your business, otherwise he would dare to entrust his little grandson to you, the old man really has no trustworthy person to trouble you, I just want my Song family to leave roots and sprouts, no matter where it takes root and sprouts, even if it is ...... Hawaii too! ”

Ma Du was stunned, he really couldn't imagine that a traditional literati like him would say such a thing, did he think that Hawaii was a paradise on earth?

"The gentleman said with a smile, the specific students in Hawaii don't know where they are."

"Which one are you lying to? Who would have forgotten their way home, but they couldn't find it for a while. All these years, you have put all your thoughts on the navy and sea trade, do you really think you can hide it from everyone? Even a gentle person like the prince didn't believe it, and told the old man that when you found Hawaii, he would go and see it for himself. ”

Belch...... Unexpectedly! It's unthinkable! I underestimate the ancients too much, maybe they have limitations in their vision, but IQ is no problem, when it comes to conspiracies and tricks, guessing people's minds is especially important to future generations, maybe it is not only Zhu Biao who expects to find Hawaii, but also Lao Zhu.

But what does it matter, anyway, Madu is not going to Hawaii, even if you have a steamboat, the size of the earth is up to you to find, even if you are found, what can you do, just fool them to be neighbors together, as the so-called mountain high emperor is far away and can not help me.

"Well, if you want to, you can go to Hawaii."

Song Lian shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that the old man will not be able to go, and I am afraid that it will affect my hometown relatives, so my little grandson will please you!" After he finished speaking, he got up at Madu......

"Ya Butterfly! Ya Butterfly! A middle-aged Japanese man with a moon head looked at the muzzle of the black hole in front of him and kept waving his hand, and kept begging for mercy in standard Chinese, "It's true that we are Japanese people, but we are not Japanese maritime merchants who specialize in selling goods to Tianzhu, not Japanese pirates, and please ask the Heavenly Army of Shangguo to take a clear look!" ”

Chang Mao smiled and said: "When Lao Tzu is so easy to deceive, there are a few clean people who sail on the sea, especially you widows, who change their faces and become that fast." ”

"What my lord said is the old thing, and now the most responsible person on this sea is our Japanese maritime merchants." The merchant took out a few pieces of paper from a secret compartment under the table, "Master Jun, look at this is the navigation certificate given by the Municipal Shipping Division, as well as the list of taxes paid for the goods, and there is also a commendation order issued by the Municipal Shipping Division, the villain is a big taxpayer." ”

Huang Yuanshou took a few pieces of paper and looked at them, and said to Chang Mao: "It's all true!" The governor has instructed that those with complete documents should not be treated slowly, especially large taxpayers, which can be related to the emperor's money bag, otherwise Mao's saber will not recognize people. ”

"That's it, that's it." Chang Mao waved his hand impatiently, "Weren't you widows quite arrogant in the past, how did you become so honest." ”

"The adults laughed, the little ones often come and go in Penghu, and the Jingguan made of tens of thousands of human heads has also been seen, and the villains don't want to follow in their footsteps."

"Humph! That's not surprising! Chang Mao stuffed the short gun into his waist and said to Huang Yuanshou: "This trip is in vain, Lao Huang, let's go back." ”

"Wait!" The merchant took out another small bag, "A little kind of invitation to the adults to drink." As he spoke, he stuffed it into Chang Mao's hand.

Chang Mao glared at the Japanese businessman, and handed the money bag to Huang Yuanshou, "No eyes, this is our chief." ”

The merchant blinked, "The villain didn't see it, but you look more arrogant...... Ouch! ”

Chang Mao shook his hand, "His mother's son is arrogant, thinking that if he pays a few more taxes, he won't dare to beat you!" Brothers, let's go, don't put it in your arms! ”

A group of naval sergeants disembarked from the fleet of Japanese merchants and returned to their own warships, and Chang Mao threw off the smelly shoes on his feet, sat down on the deck, and muttered, "When has the sea become so clean, and it is so difficult to make a contribution." ”

Chang Mao was demoted to Qiongzhou, and became a big soldier under Huang Yuanshou, and he had been thinking about the merits of the day, and no matter how bad he was promoted, he could not be promoted, but half a year has passed, and he has not earned any credit.

Huang Yuanshou sat down in front of him, took a pottery jar and poured it twice, wiping the water marks on his beard, "Who dares to make trouble with our navy, the brothers are slacking off all day long, you make up the time to practice and practice." ”

Chang Mao simply lay down on the deck, "You have to go yourself, I'm not a commander." ”

"Hmph, your shelf is bigger than the commander, and the widows have lost their eyes." Huang Yuanshou kicked Chang Mao's leg with his foot, "I said you are in a hurry, one day your old son died, and it is not for you to go back to inherit the title." ”

"Alas...... My father is in good health, and last year he made my mother's belly bigger, but my mother didn't keep it when she was old, if my father lived for another twenty years, would I stay here for twenty years, and then the big fish would become a yellow-faced woman. ”

Listening to Chang Mao's tone, he hoped that Chang Yuchun would burp early so that he could go back to inherit the title.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, recently there are a lot of merchant ships from Annan to Guangdong, although there is a pass issued by the city shipping department, but I asked people to go to the city shipping department in Penghu to check but there is no archive, and there is no tax payment record, eighty percent is fake, and the next time I meet you just to give you a credit."

Chang Mao sat up from the deck, "Don't, those passes are real, they may have been issued directly by the East Palace, and you can't afford to offend the other party's background." ”

"What's the way? There is also a connection with the East Palace. ”

Chang Mao said proudly: "Haven't you heard of Xipinghou? ”

"Hmm...... Are you talking about the Marquis Mu who guarded Yunnan? ”

"That's right, that's the emperor and Niangniang's favorite son, the prince's closest brother, my eldest brother's good brother, and of course the relationship with me is very good. I don't know what they're tinkering with, but you don't want to mix it up. ”

Huang Yuanshou patted Chang Mao's shoulder, "It's a shame to have a wealthy son like you with me, otherwise I won't know if I offend people." ”

Chang Mao lowered his voice and said, "Don't thank me, take out your good wine and let me take a few sips." ”

Huang Yuanshou hurriedly covered his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, where did the wine come from on the ship." Beware of letting the people who are doing something hear it, you and I can't eat and walk around, if you want to drink and wait for the shore, I can't ask you. ”

"I can't get used to Mao Xiang's set, and I think I'm a school inspector, I hide my head and tail all day long and look for people's shortcomings, if you don't give it to me, I was injured in the mouth and asked the medic to wipe the wound with alcohol."

Huang Yuanshou stood up with a smile, "Just pay attention to you, wait for me, my mouth is also injured." ”

At dusk, the navy's warships finally docked, a small port on the south coast of Qiongzhou, barely enough to accommodate three small Fu ships.

Huang Yuanshou is the highest commander here, although he has the title of commander, but there are only more than 1,000 people under his command.

Chang Mao and Huang Yuanshou wiped their mouths with cotton swabs dipped in alcohol, and they were stunned to use half a bottle, and their faces were slightly drunk when they got off the boat.

As soon as he arrived at the residence, a left-behind person handed Chang Mao two letters, one was written by Da Yu'er, and the other was his Lao Tzu.

Daddy naturally won't have any good words, Chang Mao couldn't wait to look at the big fish first, quickly swept through the ten lines at a glance, and laughed and said: "Lao Huang, my son will call Dad!" ”

"If there is anything to be proud of, my grandson will call Dad."

"Lao Huang, you are changing the law to take advantage of me." Chang Mao took Xiao Yu'er's letter into his arms and prepared to read it a few more times before going to bed, and then he opened Chang Yuchun's letter again, and called it away without waiting to read it, "I'll wipe it!" The eldest brother has been reinstated, and Yu Lu has been promoted to 2,000 stones! Ha ha...... Sure enough, the eldest brother could think of such a shameless attention, and he was embarrassed to say that he had opened up three thousand miles. Hey, Lao Huang, I have an idea! ”
