Wang Hanlin didn't remember Guabao's name, but he remembered her last name was Xie.
It has not been long since Xu Yuanqing left Mingshan Academy. Even if he had not left, he would not be familiar with all the students in the academy.
"Teacher, let's rest for another day and start back to the academy tomorrow."
Wang Hanlin nodded: "Yes!"
Xie Rongzhao didn't know what kind of surprise her encounter with Xu Yuanqing would bring to her beautiful father.
Let's say that when a group of them returned to Liu's house, they found that guests had arrived.
After Xie Rongzhao saw the person standing in the room clearly, he happily ran towards him.
"Brother Jingzhou!"
Cheng Jingzhou hurriedly walked out, and as soon as he crossed the threshold, Xie Rongzhao rushed over.
Cheng Jingzhou picked her up and looked her up and down: "Go to town? Are you hungry?"
Xie Rongzhao shook his head: "I'm not hungry, Grandpa Xu gave me some snacks."
Cheng Jingzhou smiled, and after greeting Liu Dalang and others, he led Xie Rongzhao to talk in the room.
"I said before that I would buy you a jade pendant, but you refused. When I went back, I told my mother about you, and she asked me to bring this jade pendant for you to wear."
Xie Rongzhao was too young, and Cheng's mother was also worried that the jade was too big, and she couldn't bear it, so she chose a small pendant, strung it with a red string, and tied it directly around her neck. It was light and beautiful.
"This is the Liu family. It doesn't matter if you just wear it. If you go back to the Xie family, remember to hide this under your clothes and don't expose it."
"I know. Thank you, brother Jingzhou. I also thanked my aunt on my behalf."
Cheng Jingzhou smiled and pinched her face, noticing that the little girl's face was really fleshy, which she hadn't seen for a while, which showed that she was living a good life recently.
"I heard that my uncle went to Fucheng to study. I'm going to Fucheng to visit an elder in a few days. It happens to be not far from Mingshan Academy."
Xie Rongzhao's eyes lit up: "Really? Brother Jingzhou, can you take me there?"
Cheng Jingzhou smiled. The reason why he came here was to tell her the good news as soon as possible.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. You have to convince your mother-in-law first."
Xie Rongzhao patted his small chest and said confidently: "No problem! My mother-in-law will definitely agree. Then brother Jingzhou must take me there."
"Okay. As long as Auntie agrees, I will take Guobao with me."
"Oh yeah!"
Xie Rongzhao jumped up excitedly, and this cheer caused several people in the yard to look around.
Mrs. Liu was very happy: "I see that Cheng Sanlang is really concerned about our dear baby, and he always thinks of her in everything."
Liu Ruolan was also happy. After all, he would be her son-in-law in the future. Knowing that he was good to Guobao, she could rest assured as her mother-in-law.
"Auntie, I once heard from my husband that Cheng Sanlang is a good scholar and has extremely high talent. He will definitely be able to become an official in the future. Our dear baby is engaged to him. We must teach our dear baby more in the future, so as not to be betrayed by others in the future. Look down upon it."
The person who said this was Liu Dalang. Although he was older than Cheng Sanlang, he was not as knowledgeable as Cheng Sanlang.
Liu Dalang had nothing to be dissatisfied with, he was simply worried that Guobao would be looked down upon by others in the future.
Liu Ruolan also felt that it made sense: "Da Lang is right. Your uncle has always told me to teach Guabao well. As long as your uncle is at home, he will teach her to write and play chess with his own hands."
Old Mrs. Liu was in a very good mood: "That's how it should be. Now she is a girl from a scholar's family, and in the future she will be the daughter of the master's family. The rules in all aspects cannot be ignored. However, the child is still young, so don't manage it too strictly. , you’re not a young man, and you’re pointing out that she failed the exam?”
What Mrs. Liu said at the beginning was okay, but later on, she was clearly protecting the good boy, for fear of being restrained too tightly again.
How could Liu Ruolan not know what her mother-in-law meant?
She looked back and saw that the first two children in the room were both reading with their heads down. One was teaching and the other was reading along. The scene was quite harmonious.
Cheng Sanlang was not in a hurry to go back, so he was stayed by Mrs. Liu for the night before leaving.
After dinner, Xie Rongzhao said that he wanted to follow Cheng Jingzhou to Fucheng.
No one in the Liu family agreed.
Even her second uncle, who had always doted on her, refused to agree.
"No, it's too dangerous for you two little kids to go such a long way."
Cheng Jingzhou knew this would be the case, but he didn't say anything, just waiting to see how his darling would convince the Liu family.
"Second uncle, we are young, but we are escorted by adults, and brother Jingzhou said that there are also masters from our county's bodyguard bureau accompanying us, so nothing will happen to us."
Liu Laoer still refused to nod: "That won't work either. How old are you? It's too dangerous!"
Old Mrs. Liu also advised: "My dear, let's not go. Your father will be back in a few days. How about we wait for him at home?"
Xie Rongzhao's little mouth curled up and he was about to cry, and his eye circles were red.
As soon as this little appearance was displayed, the adults present softened their hearts, but no one relented.
Xie Rongzhao shook Liu Shen's sleeve and said pitifully: "Grandpa, don't you love me anymore? I miss my father, and there is someone escorting Jingzhou's family. There is no danger. Even if there is danger, Jingzhou will Protect me!"
As she spoke, she did not forget to glance over at Cheng Jingzhou.
Cheng Jingzhou knew that it was time for him to go on stage, and he quickly saluted and said, "It's my fault, let the elders worry about it. This time I go to Fucheng, and my father will go with me. And my father also has friends in Mingshan Academy, since he is so good Bao misses his uncle, so he might as well go with him."
The Liu family looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds for a while.
Xie Rongzhao is only five years old now, so there won't be any gossip if he follows him. They are only worried that the child is young and there is no family around to protect him. What should they do if there is an accident?
Liu Sanlang stood up at this moment: "Master, grandma, if you are worried, just let me go with you."
Liu Sanlang was about the same age as Cheng Jingzhou, and he was taller and stronger. It would indeed be a lot more reassuring to have him go with him.
Xie Rongzhao secretly gave his third cousin a thumbs up, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
Old Mrs. Liu warned: "But how long will it take for you to come back? I'm worried that the Xie family will be unyielding, which is not good."
After all, Guabao's surname is Xie.
If the Xie family insists on this, it will be the Liu family's fault, and there is no guarantee that this will not embarrass Liu Ruolan in the future.
Cheng Jingzhou didn't think this was a big deal.
"Don't worry, grandma, just leave this matter to me. I will inform the Xie family before departure and inform the Xie family that my grandma is going to pick up my baby and stay there for a few days. This kind of thing has happened in the past. , so Xie’s family shouldn’t be suspicious.”
