Nu Yalang of Tang Dynasty

After the court, Zhou Jun returned home and saw Yin Yu, with her pregnant belly, sitting in the side hall, taking exams for Zhou Shang, Zhou Xiao and Zhou Wanniang (the Tang name of Nada, the girl who painted the moon).

homework.

Zhou Jun listened outside the door for a while and found that his nephew Zhou Shang was very strict in learning and knew the articles by heart, but he was not good at making analogies.

As for his son Zhou Xiao, he was intelligent, but he had little interest in classics and history books, but he had a special liking for miscellaneous military books.

As for myself and Hua Yue’s daughter Wan Niang, they were learning about Tang culture. Due to language barriers, they still sounded awkward when answering questions.

Waiting for the homework test to come to an end, Zhou Jun walked into the room.

Yin Yu saw him and came over to see him with his three children.

Zhou Jun supported Yin Yu and said: "The delivery date is approaching, you should rest in the room more."

Yin Yu: "I stay in the room for a long time on weekdays, and I feel very bored. Today I went to Yinanlu, visited my child's school, and thought about taking the exam."

Zhou Jun looked back at the three children and said, "You go out to have fun first."

When Zhou Xiao heard this, his face was filled with joy. He grabbed Zhou Shang and Wan Niang and walked out.

Seeing this, Yin Yu shook her head and said to Zhou Jun: "Xiao'er is smart and intelligent, but he likes to play around and doesn't like reading."

Zhou Jun: "Where are the other two?"

Yin Yu: "Shang'er is upright and hard-working, but he is a bit rigid. As for Wan Niang..."

Zhou Jun turned to look at Yin Yu: "What's wrong with Wan Niang?"

Yin Yu glanced at Zhou Jun, as if she was worried that the latter would be angry, and said softly: "Although Wan Niang is young, her mind is not simple."

Zhou Jun was stunned: "Wan Niang is only four years old, where did she get her thoughts from?"

Yin Yu: "Wanniang usually speaks the Tang Dynasty Mandarin very fluently, and she also looks confused when others ask her questions. Over time, everyone thinks that she is a slow learner and slow-minded... But recently I learned that Wanniang may be

I have learned Tang dialect a long time ago. Now I am pretending not to know, but I am just hiding my skill and using obscurity to make it clear."

Zhou Jun was a little surprised when he heard this. Is it really possible for a four-year-old girl to pretend not to understand what others are saying in order to test others' attitudes?

Zhou Jun asked Yin Yu: "Who told you that Wan Niang had learned Tang dialect a long time ago?"

Yin Yu: "Ms. Yuhuan taught the children music. It was she who first saw that Wan Niang knew Tang dialect."

Zhou Jun nodded to express his understanding.

Yin Yu said with a worried look on her face: "Wan Niang is the daughter of the big food servant. She has grown up in the disaster of war since she was a child. Although she is young, she has such thoughts. I just hope that she will not lead Xiao'er into trouble."

Hearing this, Zhou Jun frowned and said: "It is precisely because she was born in a crisis that she is cautious about the outside world. That is why we should enlighten her. How can we just keep alienating and guarding against her?"

When Yin Yu heard this, she bit her lip and lowered her head in silence.

Seeing this, Zhou Jun sighed: "I have a sense of discretion regarding Wan Niang's matter."

At the same time, the courtyard of the mansion.

Zhou Xiao was climbing a tree to hunt for birds. Under the tree, a group of maids turned pale with fright and lost their minds.

After a while, Zhou Xiao climbed down the tree with a bird egg, came to Zhou Shang and Wan Niang with a smile, and showed off the trophy in his hands.

Zhou Shang said to Zhou Xiao: "My uncle said that reading and studying is the right way. If you are so naughty, if it is known, you will be scolded again."

Zhou Xiao said disdainfully: "In addition to reading every day, I am almost bored to death by reading."

After saying that, Zhou Xiao brought the egg to Wan Niang and asked: "This egg can hatch a colorful bird, do you want it?"

Wan Niang shook her head expressionlessly.

Zhou Xiao scratched his head and said to Wan Niang: "You are my little sister. I never see you asking for anything. As an elder brother, I always want to give you something."

Wan Niang whispered: "I want to go back to Dashi, can you send me back?"

Zhou Xiao did not hesitate, patted his chest and said, "What's the problem? I'll just go with you."

Wan Niang: "Do you know where Dashi is?"

Zhou Xiao: "It seems to be in the west. I heard it's further away than Anxi."

Wan Niang glanced at Zhou Xiao and said nothing.

Zhou Shang: "Dashi is nearly ten thousand miles away from Liangcheng. Even with a fast horse, it will take several months to reach it."

Zhou Xiao said to Zhou Shang: "So what? My sister wants to go to a big restaurant. As a man, you will not turn a blind eye, right?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shang put his hands behind his back and frowned. After pacing for a long time, he replied: "If you want to go to eat big, the journey will be difficult and full of hardships... I want to help, but a man can't make promises easily. He should

To tell the truth, there is really nothing I can do.”

Zhou Xiao snorted: "Brother Shang is the most boring in talking and doing things. Don't you know how to comfort people?"

Wan Niang said at this time: "My mother said that harsh truths are more useful than false promises. If Shang Geer said he couldn't do it, not only would I not be angry, but I would be grateful to him. I

I also know that returning to Dashi is more like a dream to me."

Zhou Jun was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, watching the three children talking there from a distance. He did not choose to walk over, but turned back to the inner garden.

In the small courtyard on the side, Xiao Qingchan, who was talking to her younger sister Xiao Yingluo, suddenly heard her maid say that Zhou Jun was here, and she quickly stood up and faced the courtyard door.

Zhou Jun entered the courtyard gate and saw a woman following Xiao Qingchan, and couldn't help but pause.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingchan pulled Xiao Yingluo out and introduced her: "Erlang, you haven't seen her for a long time. I'm afraid you have forgotten that this is my sister Xiao Yingluo."

Zhou Jun remembered at this time that Xiao Yingluo became a musician because of the confiscation of the Xiao family. Later, she got rid of her lowly status and married Luo Anyuan.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jun asked Xiao Yingluo: "Anyuan went to Weiwei Temple a few days ago and moved to Shaoqing. What's going on now?"

Xiao Yingluo bowed to Zhou Jun and said: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, everything is fine with my husband. It's just that the affairs of Weiwei Temple are not heavy and he is a little leisurely. He still misses the days when he served in the palace."

Zhou Jun looked Xiao Yingluo up and down. In his impression, Xiao Qingchan's sister was lively and agile. After a few years, she became much calmer.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jun asked Xiao Yingluo: "I heard that you and Anyuan have a daughter. How old is she now?"

Xiao Yingluo was stunned for a moment, but she still said straightly: "The name of my daughter-in-law is Ai Qing, and she just turned six years old last month."

Zhou Jun nodded and said: "At the age of six, she has already entered elementary school. It is a good time to attend private school. You can send your daughter to the mansion and study with Xiaoer and the others."

When Xiao Yingluo heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then she looked happy and responded quickly: "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Xiao Qingchan also congratulated her sister.

After Xiao Yingluo walked away, Zhou Jun said to Xiao Qingchan: "Wan Niang is alone in the house and has no peers to keep her company. After the Luo family's young lady comes, you can help her and let them get along more. This way

It’s good to have a friend.”

When Xiao Qingchan heard this, she understood Zhou Jun's good intentions and nodded in agreement.
