Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 185 Returning to the roots, returning to the hometown with wealth and honor

We must know that the master-student relationship in this era is more like a relative than some relatives. The saying "a teacher for a day, a father for a lifetime" is not a simple statement.

But it is true. For example, when Confucius’ favorite student Yan Hui passed away, Confucius was so sad that he sighed: "Heaven mourns! God mourns!"

When Yan Hui's father was too poor to attend the funeral, Yan Hui's father asked Confucius for a loan, and Confucius sold the ox cart to bury Yan Hui, which can illustrate the relationship between teachers and students.

And following Shu An's words, Xue Rengui showed a trace of shame on his face, and he seemed to have misunderstood the teacher.

"You can see where you send your letters every year as a teacher."

Shu An's voice continued to sound, it was true that this Xue Rengui had a childhood sweetheart.

Even after following him for so many years without breaking the letter, it would be strange if there is nothing tricky in it.

Of course, Shu An has never been a man who beat mandarin ducks, not to mention that there are many records in history about this childhood sweetheart Mrs. Xue Rengui.

So on top of this matter, he just wanted to see Xue Rengui's reaction, but fortunately, this disciple did not forget this childhood sweetheart even if he became rich.

"teacher."

Xue Rengui couldn't help but feel a burning feeling on his face, as if his secret for many years had been exposed.

But he was also secretly relieved, because his teacher didn't stop him.

"You have been following as a teacher for several years, but have you ever thought about going back and taking a look?"

Shu An's eyes fell on Xue Rengui's body and he said slowly, counting it, he hadn't passed that place since he took Xue Rengui away that year.

Naturally, Xue Rengui never went back, and never even told him about his hometown.

Although some seem to be indifferent to their hometown, Shu An knows that the more indifferent things on the surface are often the ones he wants to protect the most.

As for the reason, Shu An is also clear, that is the concept of people in this era, if they are not successful, why go back to their hometown to face their parents and neighbors.

Even in later generations, there are many people who have similar thoughts, let alone this era.

Wang Xuance is an example, and Xue Rengui is the same, but Xue Rengui hides his emotions better.

Xue Rengui's face froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect his teacher to talk about it, but then his heart began to beat.

He did have some hesitation in the past, but now he has become Uncle An Bei, one of the nobles, and he has achieved fame.

"Wealth and honor do not return home, like walking in brocade clothes at night."

Seeing Xue Rengui's emotional state, Shu An added a bit of anger and said.

After a long time, Xue Rengui nodded his head, as if he had agreed to the matter, but the main reason was that his heart had moved.

"Go back, change the armor, and prepare for two days. The teacher has already prepared things, and you can ask the emperor to resign."

Shu An's voice sounded slowly, it could be said that he had made arrangements for this disciple, after so many years, it was time to go back and take a look.

After all, his place of birth was in Chang'an, but for him who traveled through time, he still felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Which hometown in his memory was destined not to return.

"is teacher!"

Seeing his teacher's thoughts racing, Xue Rengui couldn't help but said.

Then carefully took the words written by the teacher before and retreated, he knew that his teacher remembered something again.

During the few years of following the teacher, he had seen the teacher's demeanor before, and he was already used to it.

"Falling leaves return to their roots!"

Seeing Xue Rengui's leaving figure, Shu An murmured softly with blurred eyes.

Jiangzhou Longmen, Hedong Road

In a wealthy mansion, a young girl with cardamom age showed a hint of joy on her face, looking at the envelope in her hand.

"Brother Rengui has arrived in Chang'an, but unfortunately I haven't seen what Chang'an looks like yet."

The girl murmured softly, with a hint of clarity in her words. Although she knew that this letter was written a few months ago, it was enough to be pleasantly surprised.

"Miss, something is wrong."

Just at this time, an anxious voice sounded in the girl's ear, with a hint of anxiety on her face, it was a girl dressed as a maid.

"Xiaoyuan, what happened?"

The girl frowned slightly and said, with a hint of doubt in her words.

"Miss, Mr. Liu proposed to the master for his son's marriage."

This maid named Xiao Yuan looked even more anxious and said that when she heard the news when she passed the lobby just now, she immediately came to tell her young lady.

"what?"

There was a hint of surprise in the girl's eyes and she said out loud, then her face turned ugly, but she immediately reacted.

"Xiaoyuan, hurry up and find out the news!"

At this moment, in the county government office, a fat middle-aged man wearing a county magistrate's costume looked at the information in his hand with a hint of excitement on his face.

"What, An Beibo will return home in a few days."

The name of this county magistrate is Yang Dazhuang. Of course, since he became the county magistrate, he has become obese instead of strong.

But at this moment, Yang Dazhuang's face showed a trace of doubt, who is this Uncle An Bei.

But no matter who it is, this fat man knows that the uncle who can be born in his hometown must be a good relationship.

As the saying goes, if you are an official in Chang'an, you should be superior to others when you go out. This is also applicable in this era, not to mention an uncle, but he is comparable to the governor of a state, not a small county magistrate.

"Come here, help me prepare the carriage quickly, I will personally go to welcome the uncle back home."

Yang Dazhuang showed a hint of shrewdness on his face and said, if he serves this uncle well, maybe he can go further in the future.

You must know that this is your hometown, and you must always pay attention to the words of this uncle, and this will come soon, and it is up to him whether he can grasp it.

On the road leading to Longmen County, Jiangzhou, a group of people rode horses and horses, and Xue Rengui, who was the first to ride, showed a trace of nostalgia on his face.

Even though he hasn't been back to his hometown for several years, Xue Rengui still has a familiar feeling.

And there are people waiting for him here, thinking of his teacher's words before leaving, it makes Xue Rengui blush even more.

"Don't disappoint the girl's family for too long."

This can't help but make Xue Rengui more determined in his heart. In addition to paying homage to his ancestors, he has to solve the problem of starting a family.
