look. ...
The next morning, when He Zifan got up, his waist was sore and weak, his eyes were black and blue, and he looked as if his energy had been sucked dry.
On the contrary, Gu Xiao's face was radiant and radiant, with a smile on her brow, and even the gloom in her eyes dissipated a lot.
After he was full, Gu Xiao thoughtfully helped him get dressed, and even asked his servants to bring over the meals he had prepared, and then fed him himself.
After breakfast, He Zifan asked in a deep and hoarse voice: "When do you plan to leave for Beijing?"
Yushui Town is not close to the capital, and it will take at least five or six days to arrive in Beijing by horse-drawn carriage, and three days by horseback.
Gu Xiao is the emperor, the longer he is out, the more dangerous the capital will be.
Compared to He Zifan's worries, Gu Xiao was much calmer. While playing with He Zifan's fingers, he replied in a nonchalant tone: "I've already made arrangements to leave the palace this time, so I'm not in a hurry to go back to the palace."
"Then how long do you plan to stay outside the palace?" He Zifan asked curiously.
"This time I will stay outside for about a month. If you have a place you want to go, I can accompany you." Gu Xiao, who was leaning on the soft couch, lazily said with pale fingers running through the black hair .
Seeing the exposed rose red mark from the slightly open neckline, He Zifan blushed and his eyes began to wander around.No need to think about who left the mark on Gu Xiao's body.
"Hey, what...you stayed outside the palace for so long, is it really all right?"
"Everything that needs to be cleaned up has been cleaned up. Wei Ru has promoted many newcomers this year, injecting fresh blood into the court. If those stubborn old people continue to jump around, then don't blame me for cleaning them up one by one." Gu Xiaomi He said ruthlessly with his eyes and eyes.
Sure enough, it was an illusion that his temper had improved, and this person was still that gloomy and indifferent tyrant in his bones.
It's just that now he has become better at disguising, restraining his indifference and cruelty for his request, and began to learn to be a wise king.
Such Gu Xiao made him feel distressed and warm at the same time.
If it was him, then he would be bent, and he admits it!
Let Gu Xiao solve the issue of heirs. Anyway, according to the ability to take care of Xiao, there will be a way to solve it.
As for the matter of accepting the concubine, Gu Xiao didn't even think about it, he would definitely not agree!
Gu Xiao could certainly sense the change in He Zifan's attitude.
In a place he couldn't see, Gu Xiao's eyebrows were curved, and his figure was reflected in his dark and deep pupils.
The two of them nestled on the soft bed of the room and whispered, the sunlight fell on them through the window, and the years were quiet under the hazy sunlight.
Fortunately, the school was closed today, so no one came to bother them, allowing the two of them to spend a day alone quietly.
After a day's rest, coupled with the high-quality ointment that Gu Xiao asked the imperial physician to prepare, He Zifan became alive and kicking the next day, and he became much more energetic.
As soon as Xu Zhaoyuan entered the small courtyard, he found that there were many strangers in the courtyard, besides Mr. He, there was a handsome and dignified man in luxurious clothes.
Seeing that Mr. He didn't look like he was in danger, even though Xu Zhaoyuan was puzzled, he didn't show the slightest bit.
After saluting the two of them, he smiled gently and said, "Good day, Mr. He, it's almost time for the students to start class, so I'll go prepare the textbooks first."
Sensing Gu Xiao's arm around his waist, he secretly rolled his eyes at him, then turned to Xu Zhaoyuan with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Xu, go quickly, don't delay the students from class."
After watching Xu Zhaoyuan leave, He Zifan said angrily: "It's been said that Xu Zhaoyuan only treats me as a benefactor, why should you think about it?"
Gu Xiao pursed her lips and said nothing, dragging He Zifan outside.
Remembering that there are still students who want to teach, He Zifan explained in a good-tempered manner: "There are still students who want to come to study today. If you want to go out for a stroll, let others go out with you."
He was worried about Gu Xiao going out alone, because he was afraid that he would not understand the common sense of life or would conflict with other people.
Knowing that Gu Xiao is going out of the palace as the emperor, there must be hidden guards by his side.As long as there are hidden guards, he will feel more at ease.
"when are you free?"
Knowing that he made up his mind to go out with him, He Zifan had no choice but to take him to the study first, and then patiently explained: "They only study here in the morning, and after these children leave, I will take you out for dinner. OK."
There are many miscellaneous books piled up in He Zifan's study, most of which are about spirits and ghosts or travel notes on mountains and rivers.
Gu Xiao, who received a rigorous education since childhood, naturally didn't have the opportunity to read this kind of 'miscellaneous books'. He opened one casually and found that the content in it was very novel, so he couldn't help but read it a few more times.
He Zifan was overjoyed when he saw this, and picked out his favorite books and put them in front of him, "These are my favorites, so read them slowly first, and if you finish reading these, you can choose other books at will."
After settled Gu Xiao, He Zifan hurried to the school.What he is responsible for teaching is very simple. Apart from practicing calligraphy, he teaches some frequently used characters, which is very different from what Professor Xu Zhaoyuan taught.
But because these children didn't intend to take the imperial examination, they just wanted to learn some knowledge, so he didn't spend much effort in teaching them.
Sometimes even in class, He Zifan would directly tell them some rural anecdotes or some short stories, so he was very popular with these children.
In the midst of being busy, the whole morning passed quickly.
It was almost noon when He Zifan announced that school was over, and the children looked at him reluctantly, as if they still couldn't finish the story he told.
Smiling and comforting them that they can continue to attend the class tomorrow, the children left with a smile.
Thinking that Gu Xiao has already found him, and he will leave Yushui Town sooner or later, what will these children do then?
Sitting on a stone bench in the yard, looking at the bamboo forest in front of him, He Zifan was silent and dazed, his back slightly depressed.
"Mr. He is in trouble?" An elegant and gentle voice came, and he turned his head slightly, and found that Xu Zhaoyuan had already stood beside him at some time.
"Mr. Xu came just in time, and I just wanted to discuss something with you. I wonder if Mr. Xu is free?"
"I took the medicine for my mother in advance the day before yesterday, and I still have free time. I don't know what Mr. He wants from me." Xu Zhaoyuan lifted his robe lightly, and sat down opposite He Zifan.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask Mr. Xu if he is interested in taking over this small school. Of course, I will prepay you the cost of this school in advance, so that you will not suffer any disadvantages."
Entrusting the school to Xu Zhaoyuan was the best way he could think of.
He still understands Xu Zhaoyuan's personality, presumably after the school is handed over to him, he will be able to take care of it very well.
Moreover, those students who wanted to take the imperial examination but were unable to study because of poor family circumstances were very similar to Xu Zhaoyuan's situation.
Based on the principle of comparing people's hearts with their hearts, according to Xu Zhaoyuan's behavior, he must be able to teach them well.
"Is Mr. He planning to leave Yushui Town?"
Everyone in Yushui Town knew that Mr. He came from 'fleeing refugees', but no one knew the details.
For more than half a year, they only knew that Mr. He was a kind person who helped the people of Yushui Town a lot, so the people of Yushui Town respected him very much.
Today, he saw many strangers in Mr. He's house, and thought that Mr. He was discovered by the "enemy".Looking at it now, it might be Mr. He's family who came to take him back.
Turning his head a few times, Xu Zhaoyuan understood that a person like Mr. He would definitely not be able to stay in Yushui Town forever.
After all, judging from the attire and imposing manner of these people, Mr. He must have a good status.
Maybe Mr. He is still a noble son from a wealthy family. He has been out for a long time now and is planning to return to the family.
"Don't worry, sir, since it was entrusted by him, Bingkai will take good care of these children." Xu Zhaoyuan said with a solemn expression and a firm attitude.
Hearing Xu Zhaoyuan's words for the first time, He Zifan understood that he was accepting the affairs of the school, and the brows that had been frowning finally relaxed, and he replied with a smile: "From then on, Mr. Lao Xu will take care of these children. As for This house will be taken care of by Mr.
Xu Zhaoyuan was very smart, and he quickly figured out the deep meaning of He Zifan's words.
Pursing his lips and thinking for a long time, he looked up at He Zifan, and said in a solemn voice: "Mr. He also knows that a certain family is poor, and a certain family really can't afford enough money to buy this small courtyard. So this small courtyard still belongs to Mr. , as long as XX is still alive, he will continue to run this academy. Even if XX obtains fame in the future, he will find other people to inherit this academy and continue to teach these students. XX will inherit the will of Mr. An opportunity for children to learn is like a husband helping someone."
Xu Zhaoyuan is a person with strong self-esteem. From his statement, it can be seen that he does not want to gain benefits for nothing.
Let's not mention the handover of the house deed, but the pen, ink, paper and inkstone of the academy are all expenses, and Xu Zhaoyuan alone cannot support the entire academy.
Thinking about it, he decided to sign a contract with Xu Zhaoyuan, so that he would not have too much burden on his heart.
He is not very good at this kind of thing, so he made an appointment with Xu Zhaoyuan to talk about it tomorrow.
After sending Xu Zhaoyuan away, He Zifan went directly to the study.
When he opened the door of the study, he found that Gu Xiao was still in the same posture as when he left and continued to read books.
Looking at the three extra books in his hand, he didn't expect that he had already read so many in just one morning.
Hearing the sound, Gu Xiao looked up and saw He Zifan walking towards him.
After closing the book in his hand, Gu Xiao stood up and faced him: "It's over?"
"Well, it's getting late, we
