Chapter 162 Father and Son Talking Hearts
County Magistrate Hu froze: "They asked to hand it over first."

General Yan laughed angrily: "It's a good skill to reverse black and white." He looked at County Magistrate Yang again: "You don't know that someone is here to grab food?"

Yang Pei faltered, not knowing how to answer.

"You go back first."

The two county magistrates bowed and bowed, and walked away tremblingly.

Zhang Ci sat by the bed, quietly watching his father's sleeping face.When Zhongshuling opened his eyes, what he saw at the first sight was his son's peaceful expression.

"You haven't slept for a while?"

"I'm not sleepy, how is father sleeping well?"

"It's good. I haven't taken a nap these days, but fell asleep soon." Zhong Shuling said, got up and got out of bed, and Zhang Ci handed him his coat.

"Father came this time, and there was no wind outside."

Zhong Shuling smiled faintly: "I was going out of Beijing secretly to hide my whereabouts. Bai Ce has taken care of me and should not leak the news. Only when the situation here is clear can I reveal my identity."

"Now that everyone knows, will officials from the states and counties come?"

"Officials are not allowed to openly visit at will." Zhong Shuling straightened his clothes.

"Shengping County Magistrate Hu Neng and Guangyun County Magistrate Yang Pei came here just now. Zhanping blocked them from the door, so the invitation is accepted."

"Just keep it, don't worry about it."

Zhang Ci pushed the two stacks of papers on the table: "This is something about the two county magistrates."

Zhongshuling didn't even look at it: "Leave them for a few days first. The rice here will be processed first."

Zhang Ci went out, and after a while, he brought a pot of water and poured tea for his father.

"Tell me about you and Miss Chen." Zhong Shuling sat down on the chair.

Zhang Ci didn't sit down: "What does father think of her?"

Zhong Shuling glanced at his son: "I have already received the marriage certificate, so why not?"

Zhang Ci's ears were red: "You can't date without a name and a role. It's better to settle it earlier."

"Abbot Yanci said—"

"She is real. I met on the road." Zhang Ci said eagerly.

"Because it's true, it's even more incredible." Zhong Shuling's tone was a little dignified, "I thought it was just a kind of illusory relief; I thought that you might have to wander for half your life. I didn't expect you to meet me so soon. arrive."

"I was just paying attention, but, just..." Zhang Ci's ears turned redder.Zhongshuling caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, bowed his head and took a sip of tea.

"Are you at ease? Are you at ease?" Zhong Shuling raised his head.

"Compared to death, compared to being alone for a lifetime, is there anything more painful and terrible?" Zhang Ci smiled.

Zhongshu Ling also smiled: "Perhaps it is really destined. Since you have decided, you should be in the same boat through thick and thin, and you must not be half-hearted."

Zhang Ci nodded solemnly.

"Is she treating you well?" Zhong Shuling asked slowly.

Zhang Ci was a little shy: "How about lunch today?"

"Naughty," Zhong Shuling chuckled, "as long as she can put you at ease, there is nothing to worry about as a father. Status and money are just floating clouds."

"If I was still in the capital, would my father still say that?" Zhang Ci looked at his father.

"Does this need us to consider?" Zhong Shuling smiled lightly.

Indeed, with Zhong Shuling's family background, are there any peasant girls for them to choose?
Zhang Ci also sat down and said, "Father, you will find more good things about her."

Zhong Shuling looked at his son, his eyes were bright, with a little shyness of happiness.Zhongshuling slowly showed a smile: "It's good, you live well, everything is fine."

The eldest lady quickly found eight people, brought them to the old lady's yard, and said, "Mother, what do you think of these people?"

The old lady glanced at them, and they were all women in their 30s and [-]s.

"It's pretty good. They look quick. They are mainly responsible for cooking, laundry and cleaning. They just need to work quickly, and they don't want to be young and good-looking."

"Who will wash the clothes of the soldiers?" asked the eldest lady.

"In the army, it seems that the soldiers wash their own clothes. Brother mentioned it in the letter." Liu Jiannan said.

The eldest lady was still a little hesitant: "That's it, I'm still not sure whether I should help those soldiers wash their clothes."

The old lady was very casual: "There are no women in the military camp to help them wash their clothes. You can't change your habits just because you go to the common people's house. What should you do when you return to the military camp?"

"Then let's prepare some toiletries for them, as well as soap and saponin, so that they can feel more comfortable these days," said the eldest lady.

"Is everything ready?" the old lady asked.

"It's all ready, the cloth shop is very convenient, and other things will be ready soon. I just don't know if they live in a house or in a tent," the eldest lady replied.

The old lady smiled: "They came all the way here, and they are already used to the arrangements, so we can take care of them. Be sure to pay attention to safety on the road, and remember to be cautious when you get there."

The eldest lady complied.A few people went out the second door, and there were still ten stewards and servants waiting there.When all the people got together, they drove to Qijiadu in a carriage.

Zhongshuling followed his son to Chen Zhongyan's room, and saw a row of ten small beds, which was very spectacular.Several boys were writing in the study room, while Chen Zhongyan and Chen Zhonglin were with General Yan and the others outside.

Seeing Zhongshuling coming, the children stood up and saluted.

Zhong Shuling raised his hand: "You don't have to be so polite, we see you several times a day, you don't need to salute every time." The children thanked them and still stood by the table.

"Are so many of you crowded into one room?" Zhong Shuling asked with a smile.

Chen Zhongmei said: "We are about the same age, living together is also very lively, we can take care of each other."

Zhongshuling smiled lovingly: "Sit down, I want to see you write." The children looked at each other and sat down, but the pens in their hands trembled slightly.

Zhang Ci chuckled: "You can't shake your hands during the palace examination." The children looked serious, took a deep breath, and wrote hard with their pens in hand.The first few words are still trembling, and as I write, I get better and better.Zhongshu shaved his beard with satisfaction.

"There are three who are late to enlightenment, but their understanding is very good, and their progress is also very fast." Zhang Ci said.He found a stack of works and sent them to the low table beside Zhongshuling.

Zhong Shuling slowly flipped through the pages: "Children can be taught. Do they learn anything else?"

"Learning painting and rhythm are all taught by Chen Fan."

Zhong Shuling was a little surprised: "She knows it?"

"Qinxiao, calligraphy and painting are very good."

"How is your chess skill?"

"I have never played chess with her, and the children have not yet started to learn."

"It's okay, you can't chew too much, and you should learn a few things first, which is the right way."

Zhang Ci looked at Zhongshu Ling: "Can I let her play chess with my father?"
