Chapter 349
Three years later.

'Snapped. '

In the bustling teahouse, there was a resounding knock on the gavel.

The storyteller has a loud voice and a dignified tone.

"It's said that General Xiao led the army and smashed the soldiers and horses of the traitor Yuwen's family! With lightning speed, the court turmoil was quelled."

"After many years, the emperor regained control of the imperial court. With the help of his chief assistant Zhao Shun and his lord, he reduced taxes and improved fields, and the lives of our common people gradually improved!"

The storyteller cleared his throat, and said mysteriously: "I heard that Mr. Zhao and his wife left Beijing for a trip recently, maybe they are among us?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter, everyone didn't think that a person with an identity would hide in a small teahouse.

By the window on the second floor of the teahouse, Xu Wanqing still had a charming look, her eyes were smiling, looking at the man and woman in front of her.

"This storyteller's mouth seems to be open, why don't you reveal your identity and scare him."

Shen Xian was wearing a goose yellow long dress, her figure was still slim, the baby fat on her face gradually faded, but her appearance was indeed more moist and attractive.

"Mrs. Xu, don't make fun of us. We just come out to relax, so we can't attract attention."

Zhao Shun smiled lightly when he heard the words, "That's what you said, you have seen injustice along the way, and you have helped remove the hats of several county magistrates, especially the Pingan County magistrate, seeing us is like seeing a ghost."

Shen Xian wrinkled her nose, and said angrily: "Who told him to cheat us so much back then, after all these years, he still doesn't know how to repent, of course we have to show him some color."

Xu Wanqing propped her chin, looked at Shen Xian and Zhao Shun with a smile on her face.

Who would have thought that the two people who were struggling even with tax money could become such big shots now?
After Shen Xian and Zhao Shun met Xu Wanqing, they left contentedly. After experiencing many things, it was really a very happy thing to see Gu Ren in the wells and alleys of Changshi.

The two got into the carriage together, and Ergou happily drove the carriage.

The maid who served Shen Xian was also changed, she was a young and well-behaved little girl, as for Yuechan, she became pregnant after marrying Liu Qing, so she couldn't serve Shen Xian anymore.

Following the familiar rammed dirt road, Shen Xian and his party left Changle County and came to Yongle Village.

At this time, Yongle Village has changed its appearance, new houses have been replaced by old ones, and several thick willow trees by the river have been sawed off.

The carriage stopped at Zhao's old house, Shen Xian saw the door of the old house was wide open, and a thin figure was cleaning inside.

Seeing that figure from behind, Shen Xian and Zhao Shun looked at each other, and shouted uncertainly, "Second baby!"

The thin figure trembled and turned around in a hurry!

"Brother Zhao! Miss Shen! You are back!"

When old friends meet, I feel happy.

After Zhao Shun and Shen Xian left Changle County, Erwa, a little beggar, helped Niu Yu and Niu Lei manage the shop they left behind, and they accumulated a lot of savings over time.

But Erwa is a sensible person, she has never forgotten her roots, and wants to repay Zhao Shun and the others, but when they go to the capital, Erwa can only help clean up every once in a while, which can be regarded as doing her best.

Talking about the past, both Zhao Shun and Shen Xian felt very emotional.

"Hey, my little flower, why don't you eat anything anymore, what don't you learn, just learn from your pig daddy."

On the other side of the courtyard wall, Aunt Zhao's sad voice came again.

Shen Xian quickly stepped on the bench and leaned on the wall.

Aunt Zhao is a few years older, with more and more white hair and more and more wrinkles, but she still looks so kind.

Shen Xian will never forget that Aunt Zhao was the only one who was willing to help her when her uncle's family made things difficult for her.

"aunt."

Shen Xian called out sweetly, Aunt Zhao raised her head in surprise, and exclaimed after seeing Shen Xian, "Oh, am I dazzled, Xiao Shen, you're back?"

"En!" Shen Xian nodded with a smile, "Brother Zhao has finished his work in the capital, so he brought me back to see everyone."

"Okay, okay, don't go there tonight, the aunt will cook for you!"

Aunt Zhao was overjoyed, she had no children, her husband died early, she was alone, Shen Xian could come back to see her, she was happier than finding money.

Shen Xian's peach blossom eyes curved, "Ma'am, let's go to the restaurant, we have to pick up Brother Zhao's teacher and mistress later."

Aunt Zhao shook her head quickly, "It's okay, just cook two extra dishes, what you cook yourself is the taste of your hometown, and the ones outside don't have this feeling."

Unable to resist Aunt Zhao's enthusiasm, Shen Xian had no choice but to trouble Aunt Zhao to prepare dinner.

After making an appointment with Erwa to have dinner together in the evening, Shen Xian and Zhao Shun walked towards Qingxi Academy again.

The small bridges along the way are still flowing, and after several years of reforms by Zhao Shun and the emperor, the national power of Daliang is booming.

In the distant Wumu Peak and Xiaoshi Mountain, there will no longer be any disasters caused by bandits.

Qingxi Academy has not changed much from a few years ago, except that the wall climbing tigers are full of eyes.

While tearing off the dead wall-climbing tiger, Xu Yun murmured about the students not having a good meal, and the food she cooked was obviously delicious.

The carriage stopped slowly, and Zhao Shun showed nostalgic eyes.

"Mistress."

As soon as Xu Yun stopped, she turned around and saw Zhao Shun and Shen Xian.

"You...how did you come back?" Xu Yun was happy and at a loss.

"Let's come back to see you and the teacher." Zhao Shun said respectfully.

"Walk around, talk inside, this year a group of disobedient boys came to the academy, your teacher is lecturing."

Xu Yun led the two of them in excitedly, and as soon as Shen Xian entered the door, he heard Jiang Huan's scolding.

"Cultivate your body before studying, otherwise, even if you are full of knowledge, you will be a fool. It is for your own good that I scold you as a teacher. Today's chief minister is my teacher and my student. He was scolded by me back then."

Standing outside the door, Xu Yun covered her mouth with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Your teacher is proud of you, and you can brag about it if you have nothing to do."

From the corner of Jiang Huan's eyes, he saw a figure at the door, and he was stunned when he saw it. When he wanted to get up, he felt that he had lost his composure, so he held back.

Zhao Shun smiled slightly, bowed respectfully, and said loudly, "Zhao Shun, the chief assistant of the Liang, pay homage to the teacher! Thank you for your kind teaching."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Huan's face was full of red, and he felt that he had face.

The students in the hall chatted with each other, talking a lot, "Hey~ The teacher not only bragged today, but also invited someone to play!"

Zhao Shun looked at Jiang Huan in astonishment after hearing this, Jiang Huan laughed and said, "How many times have I told them, but they don't believe it. If they become officials in the future, you have to show them something."

Zhao Shun laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, from now on, if the teacher's students want to enter the examination room, they must first get a [-]th grade."

Cheers and laughter turned to the catchy mouth of Qingxi Academy, Shen Xian's beautiful eyes were like peach blossoms, and she looked at Zhao Shun with admiration, just like back then.
