Every spring, the rivers thaw, it is the season when the trade routes are restored, and Canglong Mansion is also busy at this time of year, with convoys from all over the country entering and exiting from here, and a large number of goods are circulating throughout the country.

In addition to the business movement, another lively event also began at this time, that is, the study/movement.

Although the enrollment of the Moon Washing Academy only started in the beginning of summer, the mountains and rivers are far away, and those who are afraid of delaying the trip have already begun to prepare for departure at this time.

This year, Tang Zheng was sixteen years old, Shimeng was fifteen years old, and the little young master was fifteen and a half years old.

Today's Wu family is particularly lively.

As soon as Tang Zai came in from outside the door, he saw Wu Laohan and his wife taking things from the house in large bags, all kinds of quilts, clothes, shoes, and piles of them.

Tang Zheng was surprised: "Dad, mother, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, isn't this your going to Beijing tomorrow? Mrs. Wu replied as she picked it up.

"But hasn't winter just passed?"

"Then you don't want to spend the winter next year, and what about the year after tomorrow?" Mrs. Wu gave her godson a roll of the eyes.

Tang Zheng was helpless: "Then wait until next year, if you really can't buy some more." ”

"Can that be done? Everything in Beijing is expensive, you see our clothes, they are all good, it's a pity that no one wears them." Mrs. Wu shook a small jacket in her hand and said.

Wu Laohan couldn't stand it anymore: "Old woman, you wore it when Xing'er was a child, don't give it to him, young people now don't wear old clothes." ”

"Isn't this still new, it's a pity not to wear it. The old lady muttered, but she still put down her clothes and picked a few more for Tang Zheng to put away.

Then there was a small cloth bag in his hand, and he stuffed the cloth bag into Tang Zao's hand, grabbed Tang Zai's hand and said: "There are twenty-three taels and four coins of silver in it, you have collected it, and you can use it for money when you go to Beijing." ”

Tang Zao's hand shrank: "Mother, what are you doing here? I am not short of money, and the Wei Mansion has a monthly routine every month." ”

After becoming a servant, Tang Zheng and Shimeng's treatment changed, and they could receive ten taels of silver every month, which is equivalent to 10,000 yuan a month in the world, which can be regarded as a small white-collar worker, not counting the basic expenses of the academy are the responsibility of the Wei family.

"Gee, what's the use of those months. Don't think that your mother doesn't know the way, the cost of cultivating immortals is huge, that is, the sons and daughters of the major families shout every day that the money is not enough, and Xing'er told me in the letters!"

"Brother Xing'er wrote to you again to tell you that the money is not enough?" Tang Zai sensed that something was wrong.

Mrs. Wu's face froze for a moment, and then she laughed dryly: "This is not a letter that came not long ago, the letter said that I wanted to buy some immortal medicine, and I didn't have the money to buy ......."

"How much does he want?"

"Five hundred taels, but we didn't have that much, so we gave him one hundred taels. ”

"One hundred taels? You have given him a lot of money over the years, where is there still a hundred taels?" Tang Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "Did you give him all the money I have given you all these years?"

The two elders bowed their heads together embarrassedly.

A surge of anger surged up in Tang Zao's heart: "Why are you hiding it from me? That's the money I used to buy medicine for you!"

Over the years, since he spent most of his time in the Wei Mansion, Tang Zheng could only come over occasionally to have a look, so in addition to sometimes buying medicine by himself after taking the reward, more often he directly gave the silver to the second elder and asked them to buy some medicine to regulate their bodies.

Now it seems that except for those Tang Zheng bought, they themselves didn't spend a penny.

"Oops, nothing. Wu Laohan hurriedly grabbed Tang Zheng: "We are all living at such an age, it is nothing to live a few more days or a few days." Besides, look at our bones, it's okay. ”

Saying that, he beat his chest a few times, but he used too much force, and he coughed again and again, and the old man hurriedly waved his hand: "I have nothing to do, nothing to do, but I have been a little sulky recently......"

Mrs. Wu had already stepped forward and stuffed the cloth bag into Tang Zai's hand, and said embarrassedly: "You gave us the silver, and I kept it from you, I originally wanted to give it to you when you entered school, but I didn't expect Xing'er to ask for it, so I gave it to him, this matter is a little sorry for you, why don't we make up some ...... again"

"It's not this that I'm angry about!" Tang Zheng shook his head: "Wu Xing has his own hands and feet, he can earn it by himself! A hundred taels of silver is useless in the academy, I'm afraid that I can't even buy a real elixir, but it can make you get better and live for a long time, but you ......"

He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't get angry in front of the second elder, so he was so angry that he could only stomp his feet, secretly hating Wu Xing for being ignorant.

The second elder sneered: "After all, I can help some." ”

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the second elder, Tang Zheng's heart suddenly disappeared, but his eyes became moist.

After a while, he said: "Forget it, even if you didn't give it, didn't you go to buy medicine, just give it, I hope he can live up to your second elder's intentions." ”

Hearing Tang Zheng's words, the second elder also breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Wu had to stuff the silver to Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng knew that if he didn't accept it, his second elder was only afraid that it would be even worse, so he could only accept it, and he was ready to find a way to get some really good elixir and send it to the second elder after arriving at the academy.

On this day, Tang Zheng did not let the second elder move anymore, and packed up everything in the house alone, and did not rest until the second elder fell asleep.

Lying on the bed, Tang Zai thought about leaving this time, but he didn't know when he would be able to see the second elder again.

In the past three years, the second elder has long regarded him as his own son, and he has not regarded the second elder as his own father.

Now that he is about to travel far away, after a long time, Tang Zheng can't help but feel sentimental in his heart.

Early the next morning, Tang Zai returned to the Wei Mansion with a large bag of clothes, only to see the Meditation Garden full of traffic, and countless servants were still busy packing their bags for the little young master.

Although there were only three people enrolled, there were more than a dozen servants who accompanied them all the way to Wanquan City, and even one spirit master followed them to ensure safety along the way. Even if you really arrive in Wanquan City, there will actually be some subordinates outside the Moon Washing Academy, and the servant students who are enrolled are only responsible for the life in the academy.

Tang Zheng directly bypassed the large crowd and returned to his hut in the Wei Mansion, only to find that Steward Qin was already waiting there.

"Uncle Qin!" Tang Zheng shouted.

Steward Qin looked at Tang Zheng with a smile: "I'm going to go on the road tomorrow, everything is packed?"

"Well, just clean up the house a little more. Tang Zheng replied.

The two entered the house together, and Tang Zai packed the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and some civilian clothes on the table, and then took the two pots of flowers off the table.

Steward Qin was surprised: "You want to take these two pots of flowers with you too?"

Tang Zai said with a smile: "I have been in Weifu for so long, I haven't learned anything else, I have learned to plant flowers, these two pots of flowers have been with me for a long time, and when I see them, I will remember the years when I was here, so I decided to take them to make a souvenir." ”

Steward Qin looked at the pot of small white flowers, a pot of straight and thick root carvings, and the flower pot that Tang Zheng burned himself, how ugly it looked, and shook his head with a smile: "Sure enough, talents always have quirks, no matter what, it's all your own business, as long as you like it." ”

Saying that, Steward Qin said again: "By the way, you can take these silver first, and you will use them when you enter the school." ”

Saying that, Steward Qin also took out a bag of silver and handed it to Tang Zheng.

"Uncle Qin!"

"Take it. Steward Qin replied with a smile: "I know that the second elder of the Wu family must have also given you some silver, but money is always too much." I went to the Moon Washing Academy, where it is no longer the Wei family, and if I need anything in the future, I can't help it, so I have to rely on yourself. ”

"That's not necessarily, in fact, there is still something that Uncle Qin can still help. ”

"Oh, what do you want me to do for you?" Steward Qin smiled casually.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask Uncle Qin to help me write a few more letters......"

———————————————

I returned to the meditation garden with those two pots of flowers, and sure enough, everyone was amazed when they saw it.

However, Tang Zheng is now a celebrity in the Wei Mansion, not to mention that his wife values it, and even the family law has been handed over to him, just a "great future" is enough to make all the subordinates dare not laugh.

There are a total of seven convoys for enrollment, of which there are three cars for the young master's luggage alone, and four cars, one car is for the little master to eat and rest, one car is for the spirit master, one car is for other subordinates, and one car is for the dream and Tang robbery.

Because the young master needs someone to serve him, so Shi Meng and Tang Zheng take turns to go over, but Tang Zheng does not have much personal service to the little young master, so Shi Meng is mainly responsible for this aspect, Tang Zheng is mainly responsible for supervising the young master's cultivation after going to the academy, as well as restraining his behavior to prevent him from getting into trouble.

Therefore, this way, Tang Zheng is destined to be much easier than serving dreams.

At noon, the convoy was finally cleaned up, and after a light meal, the convoy went on the road, Zheng Shufeng watched his son go, reluctantly sent each other all the way, and told Tang Zheng a thousand times, so he let the convoy leave with tears in his eyes under everyone's persuasion.

After getting on the road, Shi Meng went to the young master's side first, and Tang Zai sat alone in the car, looking at the scenery outside through the window.

The scenery outside the window is slowly receding, gradually fading away, and gradually even the crowd of people who greet them have become small black dots and disappear into the eyes......

"Hee-hee!" laughter came from the back of his head.

Xiao Bu Yi climbed onto Tang Zheng's shoulder, and at this time, there was only one pot of the two pots of flowers left, and only the thick root carving was still standing alone in the pot.

Today's Yiyi is much older than when he first saw Tang Zheng.

used to be Thumbelina, but now she is more than 20 centimeters tall, although she still looks exquisite, but she is no longer the little dot that makes people worry at any time and will trample to death if she walks carelessly.

Lying on Tang Zheng like a little squirrel, Yi Yi looked out the window curiously: "Brother, are we finally going to leave here?"

"yes, I'm leaving. Tang Zheng replied mechanically, and suddenly remembered the cowardice of leaving home that the fourth lady had said.

Yes, there are always some people you can't let go of!

On the contrary, this little thing, since he was born, has been with him, has never been in contact with any outsiders, has no heart and lungs, and only feels extremely curious and fresh about traveling.

She giggled and asked Tang Zheng, "Is the world outside exciting?"

"Wonderful. ”

"Is the world outside good-looking?"

"Good looking. ”

"Then can I go out and play by myself in the future?"

“...... No, at least not yet. ”

Xiao Yiyi's interest immediately dropped.

She chewed her mouth and said, "I hate it, I hate it!"

This innocent voice finally made Tang Zheng's parting melancholy a little less, touched the little guy's head, and said, "Okay, don't make trouble, I'll reward you, okay?"

Tang Zheng passed his finger over.

Unexpectedly, the little guy shook his head: "Don't!"

"For what?"

"Because my brother's blood is getting worse and worse now. ”

"Unpleasant?" Tang Zheng was surprised: "It's impossible, it's still the original recipe, it's still the original taste." ”

"That's not what it means!" Xiao Yiyi jumped on Tang Zheng's shoulder and shouted: "It's not that it's not delicious, it's difficult...... Is it difficult...... It is...... Drink it...... It's so difficult!"

Little Yiyi danced with her hands, laboriously gesturing what she wanted to say.

Only then did Tang Zheng understand that it turned out that in the recent period, Xiao Yiyi had been sucking his blood and didn't know what it was for, but it was becoming more and more difficult, and it often took a lot of effort to suck out a little.

Tang Zheng was surprised when he heard this, and looked down at his hand, only to see that the skin was as warm as white jade, not at all like a laborer's hand, and there was a faint spiritual light. Tang Zheng bit his hand hard, but he couldn't bite it at once, and finally bit it with all his strength, only to see a little blood oozing out, wandering on his fingertips, but it didn't fall off.

"Blood is like mercury!" Tang Zai blurted out and whispered.
