The banquet was opened, and Tang Ning ate with relish, perhaps what he ate in his mouth was not food, but memories.

To be honest, this banquet is not even comparable to the banquet in ordinary restaurants in Beijing, but the rest of the people also eat with relish.

Why? Because this is the emperor's hometown, haven't you seen the emperor eat with relish? Who would dare not eat with relish?

But then again, anyway, it's much better than the brothers who stay outside the town to eat dry food, isn't it?

After lunch, Tang Ning chatted with the neighbors for a while, and then he was ready to leave for the emperor, and the neighbors sent the emperor away.

Tang Ning looked back and deeply forgot to glance at this small courtyard, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to come back and see it again in this life. However, he knew that this small courtyard would always be well preserved here.

The sound of horses' hooves disappeared at the end of the long street, and the neighbors who had been standing all this time came back to their senses, and they had a dreamlike feeling in their hearts, they received the emperor today!

When you go back, you must offer the dishes and chopsticks used by the emperor! Many people have such a thought in their hearts.

Second Uncle Li was the first to suppress the excitement in his heart, and raised his voice: "Let's go and clean up first, we must clean up the small courtyard and restore it to its original state, maybe when the emperor will come back to see it!" ”

The idea in their hearts is very simple, only if the emperor remembers this, will the town be exempted from taxes, thanks to the emperor's blessings, everyone's life can be better.

The group began to get busy, among which Sister-in-law Wu was the most excited, because just now she noticed that the emperor used her family's dishes and chopsticks, and this must be taken back and offered.

So Sister-in-law Wu went straight over, for fear that someone would rob her, but when she picked up the dishes and chopsticks used by the emperor, she was suddenly stunned, because there was a piece of paper pressed under the emperor's bowl.

Sister-in-law Wu picked it up and glanced at it a little stunned, and shouted with some uncertainty: "This, what is this?" Is this a silver ticket? ”

The rest of the people were stunned when they heard it, silver tickets? This is rare in the town, and Second Uncle Li is the most knowledgeable, and walked over quickly to confirm: "Yes, this is a silver ticket!" ”

Tang Ning left the town, and the guards who stayed outside all breathed a sigh of relief, because the emperor had been in the town for a long time, although they knew that there would be no danger inside, but they were still in suspense.

Tang Ning looked back at the town and felt a little complicated, he didn't find that feeling of going home when he returned to the town this time, maybe because of the change in his identity, everything changed.

The town hasn't changed, it's still peaceful, but that feeling has changed, maybe the town he was looking forward to only exists in his memories.

Tang Ning sighed a little sadly: "Let's go, go back, I don't know if the steppe cavalry has arrived!" ”

The sound of horses' hooves faded away, but not long after he left, the town that had always been peaceful suddenly ceased to be peaceful, and the news of the emperor's return spread throughout the town.

Even the county order came in a hurry, but he was a step too late after all, because the emperor had already left.

The people in the town were talking about the emperor's quiet arrival, and a scholar-like man walked into the town with a bookcase on his back, his face was not only a little tired but also a trace of sadness.

However, after entering the town, he put away his sad face and walked with a smile, but the people who greeted him were a little absent-minded, which surprised him a little.

After all, he is a rare person in the town, and he is so young, he has always been respected by everyone, why are others a little absent-minded about greeting each other this time?

Is something going on in the town? The scholar paid attention to the conversation of others as he walked, and soon he understood.

And then he was shocked, the emperor actually came?!

Compared with the rumors in the town, he has more knowledge of going out to study, so he vaguely knows that the current emperor is the boy who once lived in the town.

The boy he knows very well, that boy often comes to buy tofu, and often flirts with his sister!

At that time, he was very unkind to the young man, but who would have thought that the young man was the son left by the first emperor in the people.

That young man turned out to be a prince! And it's the prince! Now he has succeeded to the throne and ascended the throne as the emperor. The wonder of the world is really incredible.

And yet it's all true! After being stunned for a while, the scholar suddenly figured out that the emperor was going to drive the expedition in person, and the army should also arrive in Fengzhou, and it was not impossible for the emperor to go back to the town to see.

The scholar returned home in a trance, and Miss Shen, who was busy, was surprised when she saw this: "Xiaojie, you are back!" ”

Only then did the scholar come back to his senses, nodded and said, "Well, sister, I'm back!" ”

Miss Shen stopped what she was doing and asked with concern, "Have you eaten it?" ”

Shen Jie couldn't see a trace of sadness on his face anymore, and said with a smile: "Not yet." ”

Miss Shen couldn't help but complain: "What time is this, eat on the road when you are hungry, don't be reluctant to spend money, the world is the biggest to eat!" ”

Shen Jie smiled: "What's the matter, I want to eat our tofu, and I'm very hungry when I go out!" ”

Miss Shen didn't say anything more, but she felt a little distressed in her heart, she understood that her brother was not hungry for the tofu at home, but was reluctant to eat outside, and would rather eat less and come back hungry to eat.

Miss Shen poured a bowl of hot water for her younger brother first, and then went to cut the tofu, mix the sauce, and get the dough. Shen Jie took a sip of hot water and immediately devoured it, and asked inarticulately, "I heard that the emperor has come to the town?" ”

Miss Shen nodded and said, "Well, it's the emperor here, it's Xiao Ning!" He's also here to eat tofu! ”

Speaking of Tang Ning, Miss Shen couldn't help but think of the paper left by Tang Ning, and asked with some expectation: "Xiaojie, how did you go to see Mr. Zhushan?" ”

Shen Jie said with a smile: "Although I was not accepted as a student by Mr. Zhushan, I listened to his lectures there and learned a lot, I don't need to apprentice in the future, I just learn by myself!" ”

In fact, he said that this was just to comfort his sister, he could hear Mr. Zhushan's lecture, and he pleaded for a long time to no avail, so he also understood that he was a student from a poor family, and it was difficult to apprentice without connections.

So he also made a decision, he studied hard at home, studied hard for a few years and went to Beijing to catch the exam, if he won the Jinshi, it would be good, if he didn't win, then he would study while looking for an errand to do, and he couldn't let his sister work so hard.

He is full of gratitude to his sister, and he has always wanted high school not for himself, nor just to fulfill his parents' wishes for the glory lintel, but to let his sister marry a good family after he has the status of a jinshi.

My sister delayed her life's events in order to raise him and her sister, but she worked hard but never complained, and he and her sister owed her sister.
