Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 164 Feelings

"Aniu, it's your teacher who is sent here this time. There shouldn't be any changes in your case, right?" Li Nan asked.

"Dad, the teacher is here under the emperor's order this time. He is an imperial envoy, so he should avoid suspicion. And I don't know what the regulations are now. It's too early to say this now." Li An said.

Li Nan also knew that his thoughts were a little too simplistic, so he did not continue to talk about this topic and said: "Aniu, you have been a disciple of Lord Liu for several years, and you were taught by Shu Xiu when you first became a disciple. This time Lord Liu comes back." , I have to invite him to my house for a meal no matter what. I remember that the house was sold when Mr. Liu left, so why not just invite him to live at home."

"Dad, the teacher came here to check for cheating in the county examination, and I am a reference student. No matter whether it is a re-examination or a re-marking, if I am still the head of the case and the teacher lives in our house, what will others think?" Li An said with a wry smile.

"What are you trying to get out of here? My son knows what to do, so don't worry about it here." Mrs. Liu glared at Li Nan after hearing this.

"Don't I care about my son?" Li Nan said.

"It's not you who cares so much. Just don't cause trouble." Ms. Liu said.

"Mom, dad just wants to discuss this with me, so you can stop saying a few words." Seeing that his father's face was a little worried, Li An quickly advised him.

"Mom, Brother Rui has been growing up very fast recently. I think his clothes are too small again, so I'm going to make him two new ones. And it's autumn now, so it's time to make cotton-padded clothes. You can help me take care of the kids later. I'll do it." Do it." Zhang Qing quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, I'm not as good at making clothes as you are, so I have to work hard for you." Ms. Liu also came down the slope and chatted with her daughter-in-law about making clothes.

Li An was relieved to see that a family dispute had subsided.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, more than half an hour before Shenshi, Li An packed up and took a carriage to Yangzhou Pier.

When he arrived, a group of Yangzhou officials had already arrived.

Yangzhou officials booked a teahouse and waited inside.

After Li An learned about it, he did not go there. Instead, he asked Niu Jing to pull the carriage to the side of the road and sit in the carriage to read.

In the teahouse, Zhizhou Gu Yi saw that there was still one stick of incense and it was about to be Shen Shi, so he said: "Zhou Tongpan, calculate the time and the imperial envoy's ship will arrive soon. Hurry up and arrange for people to clear the dock."

"Yes."

Zhou Yingjie responded and gave a few instructions to Master Jin behind him, asking him to go ahead and make arrangements.

"By the way, I remember that Liu Shi Yushi's student is from Yangzhou. He also participated in this county examination. He is also a literary and prose officer with a rank of 9th grade. Didn't I ask you to notify him to greet him? Why hasn't he arrived yet? ?" Gu Yi asked.

If only Liu Xuewen came, he would not come to the pier to greet him at all. At most, he would greet him at the city gate.

But this time there are two princes. Now everyone knows that the future prince will definitely be born between King Yong and King Yan, and one of the two princes might be the future prince. Naturally, Yangzhou officials dare not neglect.

"Back to Ming Gong, I already sent someone to rush me before I went to the official position. It should be here soon." Zhou Yingjie said.

Gu Yi nodded when he heard this and said, "It's getting late, let's go to the dock and wait."

A group of Yangzhou officials, led by Gu Yi, left the teahouse.

As soon as he came out, Master Jin trotted over and whispered a few words in Zhou Yingjie's ear.

After Zhou Yingjie heard this, he spoke to Gu Yi and left the team.

Guyi and Yangzhou officials went to the dock.

Zhou Yingjie was led by Master Jin to Li An's carriage. Through the window, he saw Li An sitting inside reading a book. He said anxiously: "My dear nephew, the ship the imperial envoy is on will arrive soon. Why are you still here?" this?"

Hearing this, Li An put down his book, got off the carriage, bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, I forgot the time while reading. I'm really sorry. Let's go over now."

"Walk."

Zhou Yingjie said hello and walked towards the dock.

On the way, I didn’t forget to remind Li An again and say a few words of kindness.

Li An smiled and nodded without speaking.

Arriving at the pier, Li An saw that the pier had been blocked by the government officials, and there were many people on both sides who were looking for a living on the pier, watching the excitement.

"Is this Li An, the leader of the case this time? What a talent." Gu Yi praised Li An with a smile on his face.

"This is Mr. Gu, the governor of Yangzhou." Zhou Yingjie introduced. "Li An, the lower official, has met Lord Zhizhou and all of you." Li An saluted and said, "Master Zhizhou is overly praised, and I really don't dare to be a lower official."

Li Anguan is also an official. In formal occasions, Li An naturally calls himself a lower official.

"Haha, modesty is a good thing, but young people should have youthful vigor. Everyone, you may not know him. I would like to introduce to you. This is the head of the Yangzhou County Examination. His name is Li An. He is young He was named Wen Lin Lang, who was ranked ninth grade by the official family, and he was also the high disciple of Liu Shi Yushi who was sent to the Imperial Palace this time." Gu Yi introduced with a smile.

Not many Yangzhou officials knew Li An, and even fewer knew his identity. They all praised him after hearing this.

Only Xu Shigao looked very ugly, as if he had died.

"Report, the imperial envoy's ship is here!"

After chatting for a while, a Yamen servant came over to report.

Everyone quickly looked towards the river and saw a large ship approaching from a distance.

A large flag with Song characters hung on the big ship, and armored soldiers stood on the deck.

Generally speaking, when officials travel, they are not allowed to fly large flags with Song characters, but the imperial envoy represents the official family, so naturally they can.

Everyone quickly arranged their clothes and stood up according to their rank.

Gu Yi originally wanted Li An to stand beside him, but Li An refused.

Instead, he came to the back of the line.

After a while, the big ship slowly docked. After the ship stopped, Liu Xuewen was in front, the two princes were behind, and a few accompanying officials came out of the cabin behind him.

"Gu Yi, the governor of Yangzhou, led a group of officials in Yangzhou to greet the imperial envoy." Guyi saluted.

"Welcome the imperial envoy."

The others followed suit and saluted.

"You don't need to be polite."

Liu Xuewen waved his hand and got off the boat first.

"Liu Qinxi and the two princes have been tired of traveling all the way. I have asked people to prepare a banquet. Let's go to the city first." Gu Yi said with a smile.

Liu Xuewen nodded and said, "Then there will be Lao Gu Zhizhou."

"You're welcome, Liu Qin, please!" Gu Yi said with a smile.

Liu Xuewen and the two princes, surrounded by Yangzhou officials, walked outside the dock.

When Liu Xuewen saw Li An behind the crowd, he just nodded slightly and did not ask him to come up and speak.

The group of people got on the pier and headed to Yangzhou City.

After entering the city, we went directly to Linjiang Tower.

After getting off the car, Liu Xuewen looked at Linjiang Tower with some emotion.

After leaving Yangzhou, he thought he would never have the chance to come to Yangzhou again. Unexpectedly, he came to Yangzhou again in just a few years.

"Liu Qinshi, your two highnesses, please come inside." Gu Yi said with a smile.

Liu Xuewen came to his senses and walked in.

Everyone went all the way to the box on the fourth floor and sat down.

Although Liu Xuewen was the chief imperial envoy, the two princes were the princes of the county, so the three of them were assigned to the chief position.

Liu Xuewen sat in the middle, with the two princes on one left and one on the right.
