Xiao Yu suddenly sat up, and saw A Ping who was trying to bite his fat feet, and all the panic disappeared immediately, and he laughed: "A Ping, what are you doing? Are stinky feet delicious? "He separated Aping's hands and feet.

A Ping looked at him with a silly grin, showing his pink gums, with saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth, which made his heart melt.Xiao Yu picked up the little guy and couldn't help kissing him on the forehead: "Ah Ping is so good today, he didn't disturb me when he woke up."

At this time, the door was knocked twice, and Pei Linzhi's voice sounded outside the door: "Is your husband awake?"

Only then did Xiao Yu remember the business, and said, "I woke up. What's going on? Where did the thief come from, what did he steal? Are you going to be sent to the official?" What kind of thieves don't have eyes, and they stole to their village. They don't know Baisha Village. A man is more ferocious than a thief.

Pei Linzhi opened the door and came in, saw Xiao Yu brushing his hair roughly, so he closed the door casually, took the comb from Xiao Yu's hand, and combed his hair for him.

Xiao Yu was deeply troubled by his thick hair. In Yazhou, where three quarters of the year is summer, it is a torment to have such long hair. It is like putting a stove on top of the head, and washing and combing hair is extremely time-consuming. It took a lot of effort, he wanted to cut it off countless times, but he still didn't dare to act impulsively.

The only consolation for having more hair volume is probably that you don’t have to worry about balding after middle age.

Xiao Yu said, "You haven't told me what kind of thief it is."

Pei Linzhi said: "It's in the courtyard outside, and you will find out after a while when you go and have a look."

"What did you steal?" Xiao Yu asked.

Pei Linzhi said blankly, "I beat you up before I could steal it."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Then how do you know they are thieves, how many are there?"

"Sneaky, it's not a good thing at first sight, let's beat him up first."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "This is not like your style."

Pei Linzhi tied Xiao Yu's hair into a whip, wrapped it around his head and pinned it with a wooden hairpin: "Lang Jun, go and see for yourself."

Xiao Yu said, "What about Ah Ping?"

Pei Linzhi looked back and saw that the little guy was playing on the bed bored and was about to get out of bed. Pei Linzhi went over and picked him up with one hand: "Take him."

Xiao Yu wanted to say that this is not good, but Pei Linzhi had already opened the door and went out.He had no choice but to follow, and went out the door, and saw three embarrassed people standing in the yard, one of them was a familiar face, it was Lai Pingchuan who had been here during the Chinese New Year.

When Lai Pingchuan saw Xiao Yu, he knelt down with a thud: "Young Master, spare me!"

Seeing him kneeling down, his companion quickly knelt down too: "Young Master, spare me!"

When Xiao Yu saw Lai Pingchuan, he understood what was going on, and he said to Pei Linzhi: "It really is time to fight!"

Lai Pingchuan took a few steps on his knees, and said: "It's my idea to calm down, Eldest Young Master. Last time Eldest Young Master rejected us directly, but my lord still decided to send the young master here. I'm afraid that the eldest son will refuse, That's why I made this bad plan. It's none of their business, if the Eldest Young Master wants to punish you, just punish me."

A Ping in Pei Lin's arms was very excited to see Lai Pingchuan, and stretched out his arms towards him, as if he wanted to hug him.

Hearing A Ping's voice, Lai Pingchuan quietly raised his head and glanced at him, and found that Xiao Shizi was healthy and lively, he was secretly relieved, and he was really well taken care of.

Xiao Yu glanced at Lai Pingchuan coldly, and said to Pei Linzhi: "Rinzhi, since the person who threw the child has come, return the child to them and take it away quickly."

Lai Pingchuan was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed: "Eldest son, calm down! The villain is wrong, and the villain should not appear here again. Since the little master has been delivered, our mission has been completed, and we are worthy of the master's kindness. Please The eldest son treats the young master kindly, if one day the eldest son sees our lord again, please tell him, fortunately we will not disgrace."

After he finished speaking, he jumped up suddenly, and slammed his head hard against the wooden pillar in front of the corridor, which was actually determined to die.

Xiao Yu was startled: "What are you doing?!" Could it be that he wanted to seek death in his own home?

Ji Hai, who had been standing beside those people, moved faster, and kicked Lai Pingchuan to the ground with a flying body.

Pei Linzhi yelled impatiently: "Enough! You want to dirty our yard and scare your little master, right?"

Lai Pingchuan quickly turned over and curled up on the ground, trembling all over: "Eldest, eldest son, Mr. Pei, the villain knows his mistake, we don't want to dirty this place, let's find a place to kill ourselves."

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes: "Okay, you're a man who is going to die at every turn, who told you to die? Don't you just want to leave this kid to me?"

Lai Pingchuan kowtowed like garlic: "The villain does not want to cause trouble to the eldest son, but also to protect the safety of the little master."

Xiao Yu sneered: "Aren't you talking nonsense? If you send him to me, it's already a big trouble. I'm also in danger. I can't guarantee the safety of your little master. You want him to be safe. You should take him to a deep mountain and old forest that no one knows to live a life of incognito, instead of sending him to me to take risks."

Lai Pingchuan lay on the ground: "The villain dare not disobey the order of the lord. The lord sent the young master to the eldest son with his own deep meaning. I beg the eldest son to take in the young master for the sake of my master. "

Xiao Yu asked, "When did the third child go to Xirong?"

Lai Pingchuan said: "I set off on the eighth day of last month, and I must have arrived in Chang'an by this time." Chang'an is the capital of Xirong.

"Only the three of you escorted here?" Xiao Yu asked.

"There was also a nursing mother who had an emergency on board and died before she got ashore." Lai Pingchuan said, "Fortunately, the little master is safe and sound."

"What are your plans next?"

Lai Pingchuan still lay on the ground, picked up the bag that fell on the ground, and held it up with both hands: "We are here today to return the little master's things. Make sure the little master is safe, and we will leave now."

Xiao Yu didn't accept the burden: "I'm asking where you plan to go after you leave, and won't you return to your master's side?"

Lai Pingchuan lowered his head and said: "The three of us are now the little master's bodyguards. Since the little master already has the best home, we will find a place to kill ourselves and not reveal the whereabouts of the little master."

Xiao Yu couldn't stand this kind of dead-headed thinking: "I won't tell you all, even if you are dead, it's useless. Even if you don't reveal his whereabouts, he is not absolutely safe. My place is not a safe place. You guys Since you choose to send him here, you should accept this fact."

"The villain understands." Lai Pingchuan said.

Xiao Yu asked: "Let me ask you, who knows your identities?" He knew that the King of Yue sent these people here to see off his son, and he definitely chose people with reliable identities.

Sure enough, Lai Pingchuan said: "No one knows except my lord, we are the lord's hidden guards."

Pei Linzhi said: "Then, your skills should be good?"

Lai Pingchuan lowered his head: "I dare not compete with Mr. Pei."

Xiao Yu asked, "Have you ever read a book?"

Lai Pingchuan said, "I know a few words."

Xiao Yu said impatiently: "Don't babble with me, tell the truth, what books have you read?"

Lai Pingchuan said: "I have only read four books."

"Did they both read it?"

The one on the far left said: "I have read four books."

The one in the middle said hesitantly, "I haven't finished reading the four books."

Xiao Yu said: "Okay, I understand. You don't plan to go back to your master, right? I'm short of manpower here, so you can stay here."

Pei Linzhi frowned: "Mr. Lang!" He extremely disapproved of these people staying. The origins of these three people depended on themselves, and no one knew whether it was true or not.

He was not afraid that Ah Ping's identity was fake, after all, he was just a harmless baby.But these people are different, all of them have extraordinary skills, if the purpose is not pure, he will not be able to protect His Highness at all.What's more, His Highness still has secrets that cannot be seen. If they are the prince's people and catch His Highness's handle, will there be a way out?

Xiao Yu knew Pei Linzhi's concerns, if any of these three people deliberately planted eyeliners around him, they could kill him at any time.But what he thought was that even if these people were real eyeliners, rather than letting these people secretly collect information, it would be better to keep them under his nose.

After all, he has only one Pei Linzhi to rely on, and Pei Linzhi is not a god who can see all directions and listen to all directions, so he can't guard against all stabs in the back.I don't have a golden bell cover, and my whole body is covered with doors. Instead of defending against thieves, it is better to take the attack head-on.

Lai Pingchuan looked up at Xiao Yu in disbelief, then knocked down heavily: "Thank you, Eldest Young Master, for taking me in!"

Xiao Yu said: "Get up. You don't need to call me Eldest Young Master from now on. Just like everyone else, you will call me Xiao Langjun. I don't care what your little master's name was. He is called Aping now. You all remember Well, no special treatment for him, he is as ordinary as all the adopted children here, without any privileges. Your original names can no longer be used, please change them."

Surprised and delighted, Lai Pingchuan raised his head and said, "Please give me your name, Mr. Lang."

"Your surname is Lai, and you are the eldest among the three of them. Or should you be called Da Lai?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but play tricks.

Lai Pingchuan didn't dare to protest, he lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lang, for giving me the name."

"Just kidding." Xiao Yu glanced around, looked at the bees gathering honey on a potted flower, and said, "Let's call it Lai Feng, the peak of the mountain. It's just the opposite of your original name."

This time Lai Pingchuan thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Lang, for giving me the name."

Xiao Yu asked again: "What about you two? What's your last name?"

The one on the far left who had finished reading the Four Books said: "Back to Mr. Lang, the villain's surname is Xiang, and the direction of Xiang is nameless. He is numbered Thirteen in the Dark Guard, and his name is Xiang Thirteen."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Xiang Shisan sounds nice, but it's not suitable as a name. Let's call it Xiangyang. All life is born facing the sun. I won't be a secret guard in the future, so I can live under the sun in a fair and honest manner."

When Xiang Shisan heard this, his nose became sore for no reason, and he kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Mr. Lang, for giving me your name."

"What about you?" Xiao Yu asked the one who hadn't finished the four books.

The remaining one said: "Back to my lord, the villain's surname is Guan, he is the ninth in line, and his name is Guan Jiu."

Xiao Yu said: "Guan Jiu sounds good too, but it can't be used anymore. Let's call it Guan Shan, it's simple and easy to remember."

After Guan Jiu thanked him, Xiao Yu said, "I don't have any idle food in my family, except for this." He pointed to the little fat man, A Ping, "Everyone has to work, and you all have hands and feet, it seems that you are still very good." Ability. So starting today, Lai Feng and Xiang Yang will be my masters, and Guan Shan will follow Lin Zhi to be my instructor, teaching everyone how to practice martial arts."

Xiao Yu hugged A Ping and said, "Okay, the matter is over, what should you do?"

The three newcomers were a little confused, obviously they hadn't figured out their position yet.

Pei Linzhi said: "You three, wash your face, clean up yourselves, and follow Ji Hai to practice."

Ji Hai led the three of them out, before leaving, Lai Feng respectfully handed over the bundle in his hand to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu knew that it belonged to A Ping, so he took it, and it was unexpectedly heavy. There should be a lot of gold and silver.This is almost the same, how could the dignified king of Yue let his son be penniless.

When those people had left, Xiao Yu saw that Pei Linzhi hadn't left yet, so he asked, "Why didn't you go?"

Pei Linzhi looked at his Highness with a smile, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Why is he so courageous? He is more and more admired: "Isn't the training handed over to Guan Shan? What else should I do?"

Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing out loud: "You have to explain to others, and you have to say hello to the big guy, otherwise he is a newcomer, who will obey him?"

Pei Linzhi snorted: "Of course I obey his fist."

Xiao Yu said: "Just now I saw that they were quite embarrassed, did you fight back when you beat them?"

Pei Linzhi said: "Of course I didn't fight back. The hostage is in my hands. If they dare to fight back, they will crush the hostage to death, right, hostage?" He stretched out his hand and pinched the hostage's little face.

The little hostage thought that Pei Linzhi was teasing him, so he laughed, his little feet couldn't help shaking.

Xiao Yu felt strangely heavy holding the fat baby, so he walked to the stone bench and sat down, and threw the bundle in his hand on the stone table.

Pei Linzhi followed, and suddenly sighed: "Your Majesty, are you sure you can keep them by your side? If you want me to say, you should kill them all."

Xiao Yu squinted at him: "Like the emperor, would you rather kill a thousand by mistake than miss one?"

Pei Linzhi was speechless, and after a long time, he sighed: "Mr. Lang is so benevolent, sometimes I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."

Xiao Yu smiled: "Life is too precious, I will not easily and arbitrarily decide on a person's life."

Pei Linzhi said: "But sometimes, in order to survive, we have to do something hard."

Xiao Yu nodded: "I know, it's like some wars must be fought, and some villains must be killed. In this world, human life is as light as grass, but when we have the power to decide their life and death, we must keep our original intentions and be kind. .Power is a good thing, but it cannot be used as a tool to satisfy selfish desires."

Pei Linzhi looked at Xiao Yu, the sky was bright at this time, the morning glow reflected the sky, and the soft light fell on his face, making him look a little holy, Pei Linzhi was stunned.

Xiao Yu didn't hear a response, so he turned his head to look at Pei Linzhi, and accidentally met a pair of affectionate eyes, he lowered his eyes in embarrassment: "Ah, I forgot to pee for Aping."

Pei Linzhi came back to his senses and said, "There shouldn't be any peeing, I've already done it for him when I got up."

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and picked up the bag, which contained some children's clothes, and some yellow and white gold and silver: "Ah Ping's clothes are out of fashion, you can't wear them, put them away. Let's count the money, and use it when you are short of money." Yes, you can borrow it for emergency."

Pei Linzhi knew that His Highness liked to make money, but he never spared money. He never blinked when it was time to spend, so it was normal for him to be so calm towards this pile of gold and silver.

Pei Linzhi still asked what he was most worried about: "Isn't Mr. Lang afraid of those who have other purposes? It's still too dangerous to stay by your side."

Xiao Yu said: "Based on their abilities, if they really want to do something, we can't prevent it. So it's better to let them do something for us and put it under our noses, it's safer instead."

Pei Linzhi nodded: "From now on, Mr. Lang won't have to go to class by himself."

Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm still willing to go to class, people have to find something to do. I was thinking, there are so many children in the surrounding villages who don't go to class, why not just set up a formal school and let the surrounding The kids are coming to school."

Pei Linzhi was surprised again: "All the people from the surrounding villages come to class?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "Yesterday I heard some women discussing in the kitchen that two children in Thang Long Bay fell to their death in the back mountain. The children had nothing to do and were left alone. They didn't know the seriousness and had no sense of danger. It needs to be taught well."

"However, a child of a few years old can already help the family with work. If he comes to school, he will lose this labor. I am afraid that many people will not send their children." Pei Linzhi said.

Xiao Yu said: "We run the school for free, and they come when they want, and we don't force them if they don't come. The awareness of reading and literacy needs to be conveyed slowly. Only when some people have tasted the sweetness, will they attach importance to reading in the future."

The road to education is a long way to go. Even in the era of compulsory education for all, there are still many poor and remote areas that cannot popularize it, let alone the current era when there is no food to eat.

Xiao Yu looked at the gold and silver in the bag, and suddenly said: "Now that you have money, why don't you just build another school."

Pei Linzhi looked at Xiao Yu, and touched his forehead helplessly: "Your Excellency, you are not too tired."

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "What's so tiring, one must have a goal to strive for, otherwise life will be too mediocre."

"Let me arrange it." Pei Linzhi said, "After the warehouse is built, let the masters continue to build the school."

Xiao Yu said: "Discuss with Li Zheng first, choose a good place, the school is not our private property, it is everyone's property."

Pei Linzhi said: "I hope everyone can understand your painstaking efforts."

After dinner, Xiao Yu said to Lai Feng and Xiang Yang: "You two follow me to the class in the morning, first familiarize yourself with the environment and process, and then study the teaching content."

The children found that there were three more adults in today's class, and they sat behind with benches and listened to the teacher's lecture.Guan Shan also came, because the drill was over in the morning, he didn't know what to do, so he had to run with Boss Lai.

Xiao Yu didn't say anything when he saw it, anyway, to run a school, three or four teachers are certainly not enough, naturally the more the better.There is a school that detains these three people, so they probably don't have much time and energy to run around.

It's not that the three of Lai Feng have never seen private schools, but they are all learned from noble families, and ordinary people have no chance to study.For example, the three of them were secretly adopted by the royal family since they were young. Of course, they are not included in the unified study of literature and martial arts. They study to serve the children of the royal family.

So when the three of them saw Xiao Yu's class, they were very surprised, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. After all, even if Xiao Yu was demoted to a commoner, his blood was still there, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, not to mention that he is almost the same now. own master.The master is doing things, and the people below should not bother.

Xiao Yu finished class, came out with A Ping on his back, and called Lai Feng and the other three: "How do you feel after class? I only teach arithmetic, and Mr. Meng Hong and Meng are in charge of teaching. The children in this class are divided into two groups. Now there are no extra classrooms, so they will be mixed together to teach, and when the new school is built, they will be separated, the three of you can see what you are good at, and teach what you are good at."

Guan Shan hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Xiao Langjun, do I want to teach too?"

Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at him: "Teach. When we run a school in the future, there will be more students, and we will be divided into several classes. We are too busy, so you can help. Anyway, except for morning exercises, you have nothing to do. There are things to do, those who can do more work. And after the school, there will be martial arts classes, and you can also take the children to martial arts classes."

Both Lai Feng and Xiang Yang looked at their companions sympathetically with suppressed smiles, while Guan Shan blushed and did not speak.

Xiao Yu said again: "The children's class is only for half a day. I haven't thought of arranging what to do for you in the afternoon. You can find something to do on your own. You have to go to class in the evening for the young people in the village. Now it is in the yard. Once the school is established, it will be concentrated in the school.”

The three of Lai Feng nodded after listening, and they never objected.

Xiao Yu said: "You may find it strange why I want to teach them to read and write. After all, it seems that such a remote place can't use it. The purpose of learning knowledge is to use it one day. For example, the three of you, after reading, today Then you can be a respected teacher here, otherwise I can only send you to dig mud. These children will grow up in the future, and when they go to the city, they can find a proper job. And reading is not only for the sake of Literacy and numeracy is to cultivate the ability to learn, which may change their future destiny."

Lai Feng clenched his fists: "Your Majesty is righteous."

The three followed Xiao Yu to observe for several days, and finally officially took up the post. First, they taught young people in the evening class. The three new masters were in a variety of situations.

Lai Feng was the oldest, more experienced person, had the most contact with the outside world, and his condition was the least.

Xiang Yang and Guan Shan don't have any foreign assignments on weekdays, they have few contacts, they are not good at words, and they stutter.Only then did they realize that it turned out that being a master was not so easy.

After the first class, the three found that they could barely speak, and were hit hard.

Xiao Yu went to comfort them: "No one is born to be eloquent, they all come through study and practice. You speak well, but the content is not wrong. Compared with the group of people sitting below, you know much more The key now is to tell them what you know."

Under Xiao Yu's comfort, these people bit the bullet and gave a few more lectures. After several times of tempering, they finally became thick-skinned, and they no longer blushed and stammered.

Xiao Yu, Pei Linzhi and Meng Hong were finally liberated from the evening class, and someone taught them for them.
