It was not long before Zhao Deyan came to Chang'an. Even if he was superior, he could not have rectified Feinusi so quickly, right? So when Li Xiu heard that the other party was leaving Chang'an for Gaochang, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"The rectification of Feinusi cannot be completed overnight. During this period, I have found several large borers from the borer. However, General Ma left Feinusi for too long, and there must be more small borers in the local Feinusi, which will take time. However, during this period, Your Majesty is eager to turn his attention to the Western Regions. Our Feinusi must now make some achievements, so I decided to go to the Western Regions in person, but it won't be too long, and I will come back in at most half a year." Zhao Deyan explained at this time.

"This time I have worked hard, Deyan, and I will take over Feinusi again. Although Your Majesty has no big demands on me, I also want to make some achievements in a short period of time. The Western Regions is the best opportunity, so he wants to go to the Western Regions in person and arrange the matters there before coming back." Mr. Ma also said with emotion at this time. Sometimes it is impossible for people to not accept it. Now he can still grasp the general direction of Feinusi, but most of the specific things are done by Zhao Deyan.

"So that's the case. Since Brother Deyan, you are going to Gaochang, I will write a letter to Su Dingfang and ask him to provide you with some convenience!" Li Xiu nodded when he heard this, and then said again that Gaochang is now Su Dingfang has the final say. With his help, Zhao Deyan will do things more smoothly.

"Haha~, what I'm waiting for is the words of the prince-consort, but before I leave Chang'an, there is something else I want to ask the prince-consort to do a favor!" Zhao Deyan laughed when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then spoke again.

"You are so polite to me. Just say anything if you have anything!" Li Xiu saw Zhao Deyan so polite, and immediately smiled. Although he had not seen Zhao Deyan for many years, his friendship was deeper than ordinary friends, so as long as Zhao Deyan had something to do, he would definitely help.

"This..." Zhao Deyan hesitated for a moment, and then said embarrassedly, "Actually it's not a big deal. But you know that I have a pair of children. The oldest is seven years old and the youngest is over three years old. They are all the age to study. Although my family has hired a gentleman for them, I always feel uneasy. When it comes to educating children, I'm afraid no one can compare with the son-in-law, so I want to ask the son-in-law to accept my two children as disciples!"

"Hahahahaha~, what else do I think? It turns out that I just wanted to send students to me. No problem. I have always wanted to meet your children. Unfortunately, you are too busy during this period and can't see people all day long, and I can't let you take them there." Li Xiu also laughed loudly. He really wanted to meet Zhao Deyan's children, because in the past, Zhao Deyan often used large texts to introduce his children's affairs. From this we can see that he had a deep relationship with his children.

Seeing Li Xiu agreeing, Zhao Deyan couldn't help but show a happy expression and said, "Thank you, my son-in-law. In fact, I have always wanted to bring my children to the mansion. However, there is no time for this period of time. Secondly, my wife and grandmother have not seen each other for many years, and I have been there for a while. Sometimes I can't see the children at night."

When talking about his children, Zhao Deyan was also in high spirits. He talked about his children with Li Xiu. Now Ma Ye has all his grandchildren, and the older ones are also studying at Li Xiu. Li Xiu naturally would not refuse this.

The next morning, Zhao Deyan brought his wife and children to the door in person, and prepared a ceremony to apprenticeship. The Yang family was naturally entertained by Princess Pingyang and others, while Zhao Deyan brought his children to the hall to prepare to pay a ceremony to apprenticeship to Li Xiu.

However, before the apprenticeship ceremony began, Zhao Deyan's eldest daughter Zhu Niang suddenly said to Li Xiu: "Uncle Li, I heard that my father often mentions you and praised you as the world's number one smart person. Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Don't mess around with each other!" Zhao Deyan was shocked when he heard his daughter's words and scolded him quickly. However, he suddenly remembered that on the way he came, Zhu Niang said that she would take the exam for Li Xiu. If Li Xiu could not meet her requirements, she would not become a disciple. He originally thought that this was just a joke from his daughter and did not take it seriously, but he did not expect that she would actually take the exam for Li Xiu at this time.

"Haha~, Brother Deyan doesn't need to stop it. It is actually a good thing for the child to have his own questions. This shows that she likes to think. We should also encourage children who like to think!" Li Xiu laughed at this time, then turned his head and said to Zhu Niang, "Zhu Niang, please ask if you have any questions, but I can't guarantee that I can answer them."

Seeing Li Xiu's attitude so kind, Zhu Niang's resistance to Li Xiu was much smaller. After looking at her father, she finally said, "Uncle, Zhu Niang was studying "The Women's Commandments" some time ago, but the more she learned, the more she felt something was wrong. Why do women in the female commandments let women be in the lower position and men in the upper position? Is it said that women are born inferior to men?"

"Nonsense, how could you have such a ruthless idea at a young age!" As soon as Zhu Niang finished speaking, Zhao Deyan angrily rebuked again, because Zhu Niang's problem had touched the most basic ethics and morals of this society, even if it was from the mouth of a girl, it could not be tolerated by the world.

However, when Li Xiu heard Zhu Niang's words, he couldn't help but look surprised. He didn't expect a little girl to have such an idea. However, it's not surprising to think about it carefully, because it is because Zhu Niang is young and has little influence on secular ethics, and she is smart, so she feels that the social rules of men being superior to women being inferior are abnormal and unfair.

"Brother Deyan should not scold Zhu Niang. Being able to have such an idea is enough to show that Zhu Niang is extremely intelligent. And since you want to send her to me to study, I will also talk about it first. Zhu Niang will not only learn some common sense from me, but may also develop a personality different from ordinary women. You must also be mentally prepared for these!" Li Xiu said at the end, a solemn expression also appeared on his face.

Li Xiu's thoughts are incompatible with this era. Even though he carefully disguised himself, he seemed at ease in this era, but he had never changed inside. The students he taught were naturally different from others due to his influence, especially girls, such as Qi Niang, Hen'er, Wan Niang, Mingkong, etc., each of them is not a traditional woman. This must be explained clearly with Zhao Deyan first.
