Chapter 514: Scenery Along the Way



"This is normal. We can't expect all our children and grandchildren to be geniuses."

Zhao Jun laughed awkwardly.

Zhao Fang and Zhao Xin did not have good academic performance, but they were able to enter the school through connections.

Zhao Fang has been doing a little better in recent years. He has been taught by his father since he was a child. Although his grades are not outstanding, he works hard and is now finally ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the class. He can barely be considered a top student.

Zhao Xin is amazing. When he was in elementary school, he was ranked in the top 20 in his class. But after entering junior high school, he has always been the last one, and the gap between him and the second to last one is huge.

In contrast, Zhao Tan, whom Zhao Jun had hardly taught, was admitted to the affiliated junior high school of Bianliang High School with the second best result in Bianliang.

After entering, he was very dissatisfied with Lu Dian, who ranked first in Bianliang in the joint examination, so he competed fiercely with him and often defeated Lu Dian to take first place.

You should know that Lu Dian is Lu You's grandfather, who was the fifth in the first class of the Jinshi exam in history.

In other words, with Zhao Tan's intelligence and talent, even if he took the imperial examination, he would only be at the level of a first-class Jinshi, which was a world of difference from the two brothers Zhao Fang and Zhao Xin.

Unfortunately, because Zhao Jun was busy with work, he did not educate Zhao Tan much. Instead, he would teach Zhao Fang for more than an hour every day during the lunch break in the early years, and later Zhao Xin also joined in.

As a result, the son who was not taught well got the first place in the imperial examination in Bianliang, but the two princes who were taught patiently performed quite poorly.

Doesn’t this mean that his teaching level is not very good?

If Zhao Zhen were to pursue the matter, Zhao Jun would really feel guilty.

"well."

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen didn't think about it. He sighed and walked into the train station.

The train station is blocked today.

The Minister of Railways, along with several attendants, as well as the stationmaster of the West Station and some employees, lined the streets outside the station to welcome them.

There was also a banner hanging above that read "Welcome Your Majesty, the Minister is here to provide guidance."

This was the first time that Zhao Zhen encountered such a scene, but arrangements had been made in advance and everyone applauded along the way.

Zhao Zhen walked over with Queen Cao. They were not wearing robes, just ordinary youth clothes. They went up to shake hands with the employees and nodded to express their affirmation of their work.

The station staff, regardless of gender, age or status, were extremely excited and had excited expressions on their faces. Among them was a station cleaner who nervously wiped his body several times before shaking hands with Zhao Zhen, with an expression of shame on his face.

Zhao Zhen said nothing until they were on the train. Then he said to Zhao Jun, "That cleaner wiped himself for a long time before shaking hands with me. But I saw that his hands were clean, just a little rough. This means he washed them a long time before coming here."

"The working people are simple and honest, but the emperors of feudal society never paid any attention to them. However, throughout history, only the emperor was willing to stand with them, which surpassed all other emperors."

Zhao Jun seemed to be answering a question that was not relevant to the question, but this sentence was actually the answer.

Compared with the ancient powerful class who treated the lower class people as grass, Zhao Zhen not only clearly put himself in the right position, but also had some insights. This understanding was enough.

Zhao Zhen nodded.

Led by the conductor, the group arrived at the first carriage at the back of the middle section of the train.

This is the safest carriage on the entire train. Now the entire carriage has been converted into Zhao Zhen's temporary residence. The entire carriage is occupied by Zhao Zhen and his wife, accompanied by several palace maids.

The second carriage was for Zhao Jun and his wife. They did not bring any servants, so Zhao Zhen assigned two palace maids to serve them.

The train was filled with the noise of children.

Zhao Qingwu and Zhao Qingfu were the children of Concubine Zhou and Concubine Dong Shu. One was five years old, and the other was six years old. They were not old enough to go to primary school. It was the time for them to play, and they ran around in the carriage.

"Slow down, don't fall."

"Don't lean on the windows, don't open them."

"Do you still have any rules?"

The task of taking care of the baby was given to Queen Cao. At first she was a little patient, but later she gradually became irritable.

I really didn't expect these two kids to be so naughty.

Perhaps it is because although Empress Cao is the mistress of the harem, she does not interfere in the management of the concubines. She is relatively selfless, that is, she does not care about things but is not afraid of things either.

"Take them to the next car."

Zhao Zhen picked up the teacup and took a sip. Seeing that the two children were making a fuss, he felt a little unhappy.

Zhao Jun winked at Cao Miaoxin, who then took the two children's hands and said, "Come on, come on, play over there with auntie. I have candy."

When the two children heard that there was candy, they immediately followed Cao Miaoxin.

Empress Cao also tactfully went to the next carriage with several palace maids, and soon only Zhao Zhen and Zhao Jun were left in the carriage.

“Boom!”

“Woo woo woo!”

"Beep, beep, beep!"

Just then, the train started moving.

As the wheels slowly roll, you can feel the car moving even from inside the car.

However, after the speed increased, it quickly disappeared, as if it was sitting on flat ground.

Zhao Zhen originally wanted to chat with Zhao Jun for a while, but when the car started, he sat by the window, staring out the window intently.

The carriages were separated by a curtain in the middle. The back was the bedroom of Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao, with a bed and clothes rack, while the front was a living room-like area with a table, chairs and a stove.

Zhao Zhen and Zhao Jun sat on the edge of the chairs, watching the train moving outside the window. At first, they could see the wall of the train station, but soon it slowly drove out of the station. They could see the high-rise buildings on both sides and the green grass on the slope surrounded by iron fences.

The track is not high, so you can't see much scenery. But once the speed increases and you drive out of the city in just a few minutes, you will see a completely different scene.
