Chapter 347: Supporting the Ninth Princess

Qu Fufeng: ...

Finished.

My grandfather is a great scholar of our time. He has read more books than he has eaten salt. How can he fool him?

"Why do you keep silent?" Qu Hongde stared at his grandson suspiciously.

It can be said that he has read all the classic books in the world and knows all the famous writers.

But he had never heard of Zhou Shuren before.

"Grandfather, where did you hear about this person?" Qu Fufeng had a guess in his mind, but still wanted to confirm it.

After all, he only told Meng Shanchuan about the Zhou Shuren incident.

Qu Hongde said, "It was General Meng Shanchuan who told me. He asked around for this famous person and praised him highly. I was also a little curious. But he said he knew it from you."

Qu Fufeng: ...It is indeed Meng Shanchuan!

He shouldn't have shown off so recklessly on a whim. Now he has to cover up the lie he told.

"Grandfather, do you still remember how I was stupid and dull before, but suddenly one day I became enlightened?" Qu Fufeng began to make up stories.

"Of course I remember." Qu Hongde nodded.

This little grandson had always been called stupid before, but he was just a little slower in learning than others. He had no problem eating and reading. He was sure that his grandson would be a great bloomer later in life.

As expected, Sun Zi has now become the most famous person in the dynasty.

"I only gained enlightenment after reading these books in my dreams." Qu Fufeng made an excuse for himself.

After all, we have nine years of compulsory education, and everyone has learned Lu Xun's articles, so he is not lying.

"So that's why. No wonder I've never heard of this person." Qu Hongru suddenly realized.

"What other books did you read in your dream?" Qu Hongde asked impatiently.

"I don't remember much, mostly some scattered poems." Qu Fufeng spoke carefully.

"For example?" Qu Hongde wanted to know.

How different are I from the literati in my dreams?

Why did his grandson become enlightened after reading those books, but he remained stupid and dull when he was enlightened himself?

"When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let your golden cup face the moon in vain. I was born with talents that will be useful, and even if I spend all my money, I will get it back."

"A bamboo stick and straw sandals are lighter than a horse, so who is afraid? A raincoat and a raincoat will protect you in your life."

Qu Fufeng casually recited a few lines of poetry that left a deep impression on him.

Qu Hongde opened his eyes wide, looked at him in disbelief, and then grabbed his arm.

"What a nice poem! If you have anything else, write it down quickly so that Grandfather can study it carefully."

Qu Fufeng suddenly collapsed.

A fear of being dominated by the Chinese teacher at school arose spontaneously.

He had to work for the emperor and recite poems for his grandfather. How could he have time to fall in love and have children?

"Grandfather, I don't remember the complete poem, just one or two lines. Please don't torture me, you should first study how to complete these lines. I'm going to get busy now, the emperor has a lot of things waiting for me."

After Qu Fufeng finished speaking, he immediately ran away.

"Stop right there, you little brat!" Qu Hongde wanted to chase after him, but he was too old and frail to be compared to Qu Fufeng who was young and strong, so he had to stop angrily.

"I was born with a talent that will be useful. Even if I lose all my money, I will get it back. It's really well written!"

He muttered the few lines of poetry that Qu Fufeng had just left, walked quickly to the study, picked up a pen and wrote it down, and began to study how to complete these poems.

Fortunately, in the following time, Qu Hongde focused on how to write lyrics and poems, and did not pester Qu Fufeng with questions.

This made Qu Fufeng breathe a sigh of relief.

He decided that if his grandfather ever bothered him about these things in the future, he would just send him off with an eternally difficult couplet or a poem and let the old man figure it out on his own.

…

Time goes back to one month ago.

Xichang Suyang City.

The streets were completely blocked.

People flocked over to watch the excitement.

The legendary foreigners have finally arrived!

"Wow, there really are foreigners here. The emperor didn't lie to us."

"Do they eat people?"

"They are so white, are they powdered? How can a grown man powder himself?"

Andrei and Nicholas could not understand what the people were talking about.

They have been kept in the prison van for public viewing for nearly two months.

At first, they were terrified and scared to death, thinking that these people would kill them.

Later we found out that they didn't beat them or take their lives, they just imprisoned them in this small car and gave them food.

They gradually put their minds at ease.

The language barrier prevented them from communicating with the Daxia people, which made them a little disappointed.

During this time they only learned two phrases in Daxia dialect, one was "time to eat" and the other was "hurry up".

I was eager to learn after eating, and I learned it after being tortured several times.

When they arrived at the resting place, these people pulled them out of the car and told them to pull fast.

But they didn't understand what "pull quickly" meant, so the other party directly pulled their pants, which scared them and they shouted "Het (No!)"

Later, when they found that they couldn't understand, they took off their pants to demonstrate to them.

Now they finally understood what the phrase "hurry up" meant.

These people are afraid that they will poop in the car, so they take them out to defecate at a certain time, just like training dogs.

They both felt very ashamed but could do nothing.

"Andrei, what do you think they want to do?" Nicholas leaned on the pillar of the prison car and waved his hands at the people of Daxia in boredom.

"I don't know." Andre shook his head.

He couldn't see through these people.

They are not like good people, but they are not like bad people either.

"Fortunately, we were arrested together, otherwise I would be alone and I wouldn't know what to do." Nicholas couldn't help but sigh.

Andre also nodded thankfully.

Without his companions, he would not be able to survive alone as he would not be able to speak the language, nor be used to the food.

But their celebration ended today.

The Daxia soldiers opened the car door and separated them.

"Andre!"

"Nicholas!"

Suddenly they were separated and both were terrified.

"Where are you taking us?"

"Holy Father, bless me, I don't want to die yet."

They were so panicked that tears came out of their eyes.

"What are these foreigners saying? I can't understand what they are saying." One of the guards muttered.

"Who cares what they say? Just don't kill him." Another guard replied nonchalantly.

They each captured a foreigner and took them into two steam carriages.

The driver of one of the cars was Wang Zhengzhi.

He is still a little dazed now.

It turned out that the person he had been carrying all the way was not the emperor, but a substitute chosen by the emperor.

The gentleman said that the emperor would be returning to Beijing soon, so he had to return too.

So they had to hurry and separate the two foreigners. One would stay in Xichang, where they had not yet finished their tour, and continue to the next place for the people to see. The other would be brought back to the capital.

After all, the Ninth Princess' third birthday was approaching, and he had to bring the foreigners back quickly to support the Ninth Princess.

It’s Her Royal Highness the Princess’ birthday, so this kind of rare thing must not be absent.

At the same time, not only Chujiu was leading foreigners to the capital, but Lu Jing was too.
