The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

There are not many female students in the school. Including Li Lizhi, there are only five in total.

Li Fu looked at the students in the school and sighed slightly.

At present, there are still not many families who send their children to school, especially the families of girls. They all think that their daughters do not need to study, and it is enough to find a good family to marry in the future.

There are about 40 students in the school now.

Obviously, if the number of students continues to increase, such a large classroom will not be enough.

Even this school was newly built last year. The old school on the village was in the village. It was a shabby house that could only accommodate a dozen students at most...

In the past, Liu Niang's children studied in the village school. Later, after moving into the Jingyang Palace, they changed to the school in Chang'an City.

This year, it has to be expanded.

Build another one, or even two such schools...

Later, the Enlightenment School and other ordinary schools will be separated, instead of being mixed together like now, which will delay the teaching progress.

In addition, the children from the village who come to the school to study must study Enlightenment.

Otherwise, what books can they study if they don’t even know the characters?

Li Fu stood at the door, watching Li Chengqian and the other four stand up from their seats and introduce themselves to the classmates around them.

Although they changed into ordinary coarse linen clothes, the temperament of the four children was always different from that of the children around them. As soon as they stood up and opened their mouths, they could see that they must not be children raised by ordinary farmers.

They have a calm temperament, with confidence between their eyebrows, calm and generous.

The teacher can naturally see that he has come into contact with so many children, and these four children brought by King Jingyang are different.

But it is also true, after all, they are brought by King Jingyang, can they be ordinary children?

The Master was also guessing in his heart, could this be the disciple of King Jingyang?

After all, Li Fu had lived in the manor for so many years, and everyone in the manor knew that for so many years, the master's family had never married, and there was no mistress or heirs in the family, so it was absolutely impossible for four children to suddenly appear.

Maybe they were newly accepted disciples, or children of relatives, who came to live in the manor for a few days temporarily.

King Jingyang was a member of the royal family, so his relatives were also nobles, weren't they?

In just a few moments, the Master's mind was clear.

The identities of these four children were not ordinary, and he had to take teaching more seriously than before.

If he couldn't even teach four children, his reputation would be ruined.

Li Fu stood outside the door for a quarter of an hour, and seeing that the children had entered the state of class, he turned around and left. After walking to the door, he began to instruct Wu Liangye.

"The two guards in the palace have been guarding in the dark. You stay behind too. From now on, you will be responsible for protecting the four of them during class. Try not to appear in the children's sight. Protect them in secret. Do you understand?" Li Fu reminded.

"Yes, my lord, don't worry. I understand." Wu Liangye bowed and responded.

He didn't let his guards appear in the open because he was worried about affecting the atmosphere of the school.

After all, his lord wanted the four little princes to integrate into this environment, so that they can see more things and understand more affairs.

If people always see that the four of them are living in protection, it will definitely be different.

"I'll go back by myself." Li Fu said, "Everyone is familiar with the manor. It's okay. It's safer here than Chang'an. After all, this is our territory."

After Li Fu finished speaking, he walked home with his hands behind his back.

When he returned to the house, Yan Lide and Jiang Que had already taken people out to work.

On the first day of work, both the housekeeper and the chief secretary Ma Zhou were busy. If Li Fu had anything to say at the house, Xiao Tao would have to convey it.

Shitou also came back. He had to be responsible for Li Fu's contact with Chang'an. Now Shitou was no longer a guard, but a runner, so he didn't need to hang a long sword around his waist to bluff.

However, Shitou still liked it this way. Moreover, after he became rich, he changed to a more gorgeous long sword, and was proud of it and complacent.

A good sword, if you take it out, it is a face. No matter who you are, you have to give some face to the other party for the sake of the sword.

After all, people who can afford a sword at home are not from a poor family, not to mention the guards of a wealthy family who carry swords with them. This is a symbol of status.

Things outside the house, Shitou ranXiao Tao went to instruct the housekeeper Lao Zhou on the trivial matters in the house, so that the housekeeper Lao Zhou could better help Yan Lide and others to sort out the things in the manor. Moreover, the things in Lao Zhou's hands were to be handed over to Ma Zhou, which was particularly important in the next two days.

Li Fu also sat in the study. He simply asked someone to put a small table and a recliner in the corridor of the front hall and lay there.

The sun was good during the day. If there was no ground heating in the house, it would be warmer outside than in the house.

Li Fu lay on the recliner, covered with a thick blanket, reading a book and thinking about some things.

Xiao Tao was waiting in the house, ready to serve tea and water to Li Fu at any time. Shitou sat on the steps under the corridor, dazed from time to time, and occasionally wiped his sword with a clean white cloth.

Li Fu caught a glimpse of Shitou wiping his precious long sword there.

"Where did you get this knife?" Li Fu asked, "Why don't I remember having this thing in the storeroom of our house?"

Shitou smiled and said, "My dear, I saved up money to buy this. I just got it back a few days ago."

"Huh? How could I buy this?" Li Fu was curious.

"I asked Guard Wu to help me buy it." Shitou said, "Guard Wu said that this thing must be made by a blacksmith. When Guard Wu didn't come to our house, he still had some connections outside. It was not difficult to ask someone to make a knife like this. My knife is better than those used by government officials."

Therefore, Shitou treasured his precious knife very much. If he got married and had children in the future, he would pass it on to his children when he was old. Maybe it could be a family heirloom.

Guard Wu was a member of the palace at the time. How could he get it bad if he asked someone to make it?

"Tsk." Li Fu was amazed.

"Okay, good, take good care of it. If I have a chance to get a better sword in the future, I will reward you with one." Li Fu smiled and promised Shitou.

"Okay, then I will wait for your reward." Shitou sat on the steps and grinned.
