"Wahhahaha—" He laughed three times, gathered his thoughts, and after hearing this sentence, he knew who the chick opposite was. To meet each other outside the ruined temple, I don't know if it's luck or a bit of regret. He laughed a few times before saying: "Miss, we are strangers to each other. It's not appropriate to say such things. I can't open my mouth. You should talk to someone you are destined to talk about. I still have urgent matters, so it's inconvenient." Stay for a long time, say goodbye."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and wiped off his cold sweat, and hurried to the layman, unwilling to stay for a second.
Miss Xu sighed and said: "It's the same as not talking. I didn't want to do something boring, but I didn't expect that the person who talked to me so frivolously was from the Xiao family in Jinling. It really disappointed me." .”
Khan, I have smeared the Xiao family this time, and this matter is really fucking evil. He stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Ms. Xu, and said with a grin: "Are you really going to say it? Well then—to catch up with you, and then dump you, that's my goal!"
Ye Gongzi's face changed, and he shouted: "Bold, you are so rude, you dare to insult Miss Xu like this, you really deserve to die."
Lin Wanrong spread his hands and said innocently: "Young master, you heard it too. I didn't want to say it. It was Ms. Xu who asked me to repeat it. I just did it. Is there anything wrong?"
The young master surnamed Ye was silent, and Miss Xu smiled slightly: "Some quick-witted! It's not too bad to be home! May I ask this third young master, is Miss Xiao's family now in Beijing? I was taken care of by Mrs. Xiao when I was young. I also heard that my father mentioned the name of the eldest lady, but I have never met her. If she is in Beijing, I would really like to meet her." She pointed out the third son, and she admitted that she took shelter from the rain in the Reclining Buddha Temple yesterday The woman is her.
It's all here. Lin Wanrong was not afraid of wearing shoes even with bare feet, and nodded, "Thank you Miss Xu for your concern. My two young ladies have already arrived in Beijing. I will definitely convey Miss Xu's wishes. But I don't know if Miss Xu's father-"
"My father is just an ordinary scholar, so don't mention it." Miss Xu said indifferently: "Speaking of which, when Mrs. Xiao left the capital, I was still a child who didn't know much about the world. I didn't expect that twenty years had passed in the blink of an eye. I don't know if her old man is okay?"
old man? Such a young and beautiful Mrs. Xiao turned out to be an old man in Miss Xu's mouth, she really deserves to be beaten. Lin Wanrong glanced at Miss Xu.
Before, he only paid attention to Miss Xu's face, now he pays more attention to her dress. Seeing that she was dressed in a very decent light blue dress, with a graceful figure and a calm face, but the bun on her head was tied up high, and she was casually tied up with a hosta, simple and generous.
Is this Miss Xu already married? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, remembering that she was asked outside the temple yesterday if she was married, she didn't speak, but saw this bun today. I was even more puzzled. However, this woman is graceful, and from what she said, it seems that it has been more than twenty years, and it is not surprising that they are married.
The only puzzling thing is that Mr. Ye is not afraid of gossip when he surrounds a married woman all day long? Judging from the words and deeds of this Miss Xu yesterday. She still takes her reputation very seriously. "Catch up with you, and dump you again", recalling the rhetoric of yesterday. Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly, it was a bad start!
"Madam is as beautiful as before. She lived happily, and Miss Xie took care of her." Lin Wanrong suppressed the doubts in her heart and replied.
Miss Xu nodded, and took a few steps forward with Young Master Ye. Suddenly she remembered something, and she turned around and asked, "This third young master, since you are from the Xiao family, when you were viewing lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when you were on the cloud Could it be you who came to Fairyland to watch lanterns and guess riddles?"
"Lantern watching riddles? Oh, you say him, his surname is Lin, he is handsome and talented, ten times more handsome than this Mr. Ye!" Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
Ms. Xu smiled and said: "The riddles I solved were simple. I thought they could be guessed by everyone in the academy, so as to calm down their complaints, but I didn't expect that the Xiao family's family took the lead. It's a bit surprising. gone."
Simple? You little girl is trying to annoy me, aren't you? What is the origin of this girl surnamed Xu? She has a modified serial slave in her hand, is familiar with Luo Ning, and knows Mrs. Xiao. What exactly does she do
Young Master Ye smiled and said, "I was there when you wrote those riddles, and I was still wondering why the riddles I made for Miss this year were so simple, but I didn't expect that they were meant to take care of the brothers and sisters in the academy. Miss has a delicate mind. , Ye thinks he can’t do it.”
Speechless! These two are working together to attack me. Miss Xu continued to move forward, and when she passed by Lin Wanrong, she suddenly said calmly: "Third Young Master, it is good to be confident, but don't be too frivolous, like yesterday's words and deeds, I hope I will never hear it again!" She With brisk steps, he floated past him.
Lin Wanrong froze for a moment, then suddenly asked with a smile: "Miss Xu, are you married?"
Miss Xu didn't seem to hear what he said, she had already walked in the door, Mr. Ye suddenly turned his head and said: "You shouldn't ask, so don't ask."
Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, facing Miss Xu's back, and said loudly: "Miss Xu, what I said yesterday is still valid."
Miss Xu stopped in her footsteps, shook her head helplessly, and sighed: "There is nothing in the world, let me be troubled by mediocrity!"
She didn't care about the third son's crazy words, and was about to enter the classroom, but saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy rushing out of it and said, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, it's not good, I was born with a vision!"
"Master Cheng, what happened? What kind of natural phenomenon?" Miss Xu asked in surprise.
"Mr. Xu, look—" Cheng Dawei led Ms. Xu and Mr. Ye into the courtyard, and saw countless ants crowded densely, forming a big "sky" on the ground. Although these ants are constantly crawling, they all move along the Tianzi route. Dawei Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "The ants form a group, which is a natural phenomenon! Mr. Xu, how should this be explained?"
After Cheng Dawei, the students who learned the art of arithmetic rushed out, looking at the ants gathering in front of them. Be amazed.
Lin Wanrong was about to leave, but when she heard shouts in the yard, she couldn't help turning back. After carefully observing the crawling route of the ant, and seeing that kid named Cheng Dawei acting like a ghost, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but smile, this kid has a trick!
Ye Gongzi looked at the situation in front of him, frowned and said: "How can these ants swarm automatically? Could it be a sign from heaven?"
Ms. Xu shook her head and said: "There is no rootless water in the world. Everything has a reason. This colony of ants is gathered together. There must be a special reason. It is not so much a vision from the sky. It is better to search carefully."
Ms. Xu held the long skirt in her hands, and slowly squatted down, watching the progress of the ants carefully, with a focused and beautiful expression on her face.
Lin Wanrong was secretly amazed when she heard this, it's really amazing for a weak woman to have such insight.
Miss Xu observed it for a while, then stretched out her slender green fingers, wrapped in a jade handkerchief. Touched the ground a few times. A few ants crawled up her veil, her body trembled slightly, and a little nervousness appeared on her face. Women are naturally afraid of rats and ants, so it's no wonder that she gritted her silver teeth, and a blush appeared on her face. Carefully avoiding the ants, continue to wipe the ground with a handkerchief.
After wiping it a few times, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on her face. Putting away the handkerchief, he said with a smile, "Today, which classmate brought honey?"
A student said: "I saw Mr. Cheng brought honey, but I don't know what to do."
Ms. Xu smiled and said to Cheng Dawei: "Bring me to have a look at Fanmi Tang."
Mr. Cheng smiled embarrassedly, took out a small sealed jar, and Ms. Xu wrapped a wooden stick with the handkerchief just now, dipped some honey on it, and then wrote the word "Heaven" on the ground! Strange to say, after a while, the new word written by Ms. Xu was also filled with darkness, and the strange omen reappeared.
Everyone was surprised, Miss Xu nodded and smiled and said, "Master Cheng, this must be a good thing you did, right?"
Mr. Cheng lowered his head, giggled embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Xu, it was you who said, let us observe the surroundings carefully, and share with everyone if we have new discoveries. Last time you taught that the seeds germinated and overthrew the big stone." example, I have personally verified it, and it turns out that it can really be done.”
Ms. Xu smiled slightly and said: "I also heard the story of the germination of the seeds. In the city of Hangzhou, the White Lotus Sect once used this trick to deceive the people, but it was exposed by a stranger, and the people were saved. All things have their own physics. As long as you observe more and ponder carefully, you can always find out the laws. Just like the honey polyants this time, if Mr. Cheng did not observe carefully, everyone would not be able to learn this point. So It is said that the principles of all things and the method of calculation are not useless learning, on the contrary, they are closely related to us, and like poems and poems, they are all treasures of my Dahua, and both are indispensable."
The academic students all came here out of interest. After hearing Miss Xu's words, they immediately cheered. Lin Wanrong hid behind the crowd, looking at the excited flushed face of the second lady in the crowd, and suddenly felt a faint feeling in her heart. move. Watching the lantern riddles that day, I had already seen Miss Xu's extraordinary talent, and today I saw her even more extraordinary side. Not to mention anything else, just based on these words, this Ms. Xu is worthy of the word "extraordinary woman".
Miss Xu waited for everyone to calm down, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Cheng's actions today have allowed us to learn new knowledge, but they have also delayed the time to give lectures to everyone. We need to punish you a little bit. Madam Cheng, you Don't you like that abacus technique?"
Dawei Cheng nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, do you want me to learn this?"
Ms. Xu smiled and said: "Not only do you need to learn, but you also need to sum up some simple and easy-to-remember formulas, so that you can learn them together, so that you can learn well. You observe subtlety and have an open mind. I believe you will be able to Made it."
A look of gratitude flashed in the eyes of this young man named Cheng Dawei, and he said loudly, "Mr. Xu, thank you for trusting me."
Miss Xu smiled and nodded, seeing a young and beautiful woman among the students, she was surprised and said, "Aren't you the second young lady of the Xiao family?"
Yushuang shyly said: "Mr. Xu, I am Xiao Yushuang."
Miss Xu happily held her hand and said, "My good sister, you are finally here, let's go in and talk."
The academic student entered the room cheerfully, only Mr. Cheng was still thinking hard. Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, what are you thinking?"
Master Cheng was taken aback. When he looked up, he was a stranger. He suddenly asked strangely, "Who are you? Do I know you?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "You don't know me, but you will definitely remember me. I can't understand some strange words. Can you explain to me."
Mr. Cheng was puzzled, so he heard the stranger in front of him read: "One time, five goes to four, two times, five goes to three... eight back one back five to three, nine back one back five to four! How about it, remember? "
Mr. Cheng was taken aback when he heard it for a moment, and then he understood something. His voice trembling with surprise, said: "This, this is the abacus formula? No, no. Nine times go one way and one goes into one, how can it be ten?"
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "I don't know what this is either. I'll read it again, you remember, go back and study it carefully, maybe you can complete the task that Miss Xu told you!"
Dawei Cheng didn't dare to speak anymore, and heard Lin Wanrong read it again, not daring to let go of a word. Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Xiao Cheng, work hard, you will be successful."
Seeing that Mr. Cheng was still reciting formulas in a daze, Lin Wanrong didn't care about him anymore. Wiped the sweat and walked out of the yard. Memorizing this table of abacus formulas was something I did when I was in elementary school, and now I have forgotten several sentences, but with the cleverness of Mr. Cheng, it is not difficult to deduce a few sentences.
Anyway, he did a good deed today, he felt happy, humming a little song and walked outside the gate of Jinghua College. From a distance, I saw two people coming from the opposite side, and they both knew each other.
The two of them were also taken aback when they saw him, and one of them rushed forward like a whirlwind. He said happily: "General Lin, General Lin. You're here."
Surprised, Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xu Zhen, why are you here? Oh, young master Li Wuling, we have met again." It turned out that the person who walked with Xu Zhen turned out to be the 15th day of the first lunar month. That night in the city, the kid named Li Wuling was fishing for lanterns by the river.
Li Wuling wondered: "Lin San, why are you here? Did someone bully you, and you came here to find me? Why, didn't you report me the name of Li Wuling?"
Lin Wanrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Xu Zhen said excitedly, "General Lin, not only me, but also Li Sheng, Brother Du, and Brother Hu are all here. It was Marshal Xu who recommended us to study here."
study? Immediately remembered that Jinghua College also had a subject of military theory, Xu Wei sent these people to study, it seemed that he valued them a lot.
These are all soldiers led by Lao Tzu. A burst of pride rose in his heart. He looked Xu Zhen up and down with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, you have grown taller and stronger. Go to the battlefield this year to kill the Hulu, It seems that you are indispensable."
Xu Zhen raised his chest and said, "That's natural. I, Xu Zhen, will die on the battlefield. General Lin, Brother Hu, we are looking forward to your coming every day. In a month or so, we will go to kill the Hu people. With you With leadership, we all have the backbone, and we can fight this battle comfortably.”
Damn, this kid will say something that moves me. Thinking of those years in the army, Lin Wanrong was very nostalgic. Fighting Bailian is internal friction. No matter how good the battle is, there is nothing to be proud of. Killing barbarians is the bounden duty of soldiers. But if you really want to go to the battlefield to fight against the Hulu, is this what I, Lin San, did? What's more, there is Qingxuan here! He was extremely contradictory for a moment.
Xu Zhen didn't know his mood, so he pulled Li Wuling and said, "Wuling, this is the General Lin who I told you about, the invincible General Lin who led my right army in the campaign to wipe out the White Lotus Sect."
After listening to the two of them talking, Li Wuling also understood a little bit, after hearing Xu Zhen's introduction, he looked him up and down, and said in disbelief: "You are Lin San, the general Lin who has made extraordinary achievements? "
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "It's not like, is it? In fact, this is my true nature. I've always been very low-key."
Li Wuling clapped his hands and said: "Very good, very good, you are a victorious general, everyone praises you, I will compete with you today to see if I am the best or you are the best! Go, go—"
Others are small ghosts, so they will move forward if they hold Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong was in a cold sweat from shock, why does this brat want to compete with others every now and then? Last time he said he wanted to find his grandfather, but this time he wants to find me again? If he wins a martial arts competition with this kid, he will say that he is bullying the younger, but if he loses, he will definitely be degraded as being unable to beat a kid again.
Lin Wanrong glanced at Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen smiled wryly and shook his head, apparently he had nothing to do with Li Wuling. Lin Wanrong said helplessly: "Young Master Li. Well, I'm not good at embroidering fists and legs. What I want is a real knife and a real gun. Even if I get hurt by your knife, I have no complaints. Now, if you are hurt by my knife, don't complain."
What kind of kid is this Li Wuling? Why does he like fighting so much? He said to Xu Zhen: "Which family is this young master?"
Xu Zhen's face was serious: "This little brother Li Wuling is the only grandson of the old general Li Tai."
"Li Tai? Who is Li Tai?" Lin Wanrong said softly.
As soon as this statement came out. Not only Xu Zhen's eyes widened, but even Li Wuling who had been pestering him stopped making trouble. The two looked at him together, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Xu Zhen swallowed his saliva and said, "General Lin, no way, you haven't heard of old General Li Tai's reputation?"
Lin Wanrong smiled awkwardly and said: "I grew up in a remote village, and I have never heard of it. Is this old general Li Tai famous? Well, just hearing this name is extraordinary enough. Of course, the name of the young master Li Wuling is also very famous. Not bad. Sure enough, Lord Tiger has no dogs and grandchildren!"
Li Wuling clapped his hands and laughed: "Great, great, finally there is a person who doesn't know the name of grandpa. In case he bullies me in the future, he will say, I, Li Tai, have been loyal and good for generations, guarding the border, and have a great reputation. Who is in the world?" People don't know, you can't even clean up your little things?"
Xu Zhen no longer knew what to say, not even the number one general of the Great Hua Dynasty. How did General Lin get into the army, and how did he win the battle? It's incredible.
I can't bear to be so embarrassing for my top peak and idol. Xu Zhen smiled dryly and said: "General Lin doesn't know something. This old general Li Tai has been in the army for generations since his ancestors, guarding the border. In the tent of the National People's Congress, beheading the enemy's commander-in-chief can be described as prestigious, and the barbarians are frightened when they hear the news. General Li is highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in the art of war. He is the number one general in my Dahua land. , defending the country with iron and blood, the eldest son of General Li—”
Speaking of this, Xu Zhen took a sneak look at Li Wuling, and continued: "The eldest son is the general guarding the border. On the day his wife gave birth, he fought fiercely with the barbarians for seven days and seven nights. He died heroically, leaving only orphans and widows!"
Li Wuling gritted his teeth, with tears in his eyes, he waved his fist and said: "What are you talking about? If you die, you will die. If you go to battle to kill the enemy, there is no one who does not sacrifice. He is dead, and I am! I am dead, and I am dead." There is my son. My Li family can't beat and kill all the people, but if the barbarians are gone, my Li family will not fall!"
Lin Wanrong understood, this was about Li Wuling, no wonder this kid was so competitive, he patted Li Wuling on the shoulder, but couldn't say a word.
Xu Zhen continued: "The old general's second son, as a general guarding the border, was ambushed by the barbarians eight years ago and died among thousands of arrows! Poor him who has been guarding the border for many years, but he has never even seen his fiancée's face— "Speaking of this, Xu Zhen was already a little choked up: "General Li's family, defending the country and defending the Lord, loyal and good for generations, and their reputation spread all over the world. They are the idols of my Dahua soldiers."
Lin Wanrong nodded heavily, what else can I say, this is God of War! Only with such a backbone can Dahua not be bullied by foreigners and stand firm!
He himself was a little ashamed, for such a loyal minister and good general, he didn't even know him, he was really ignorant and ignorant. Seeing Li Wuling's sad and indignant expression, his small fists were about to be crushed, Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Li Wuling, don't you want to compete with me on horseback, so what are you waiting for?"
Li Wuling looked up at him in surprise: "Lin San—General Lin, what you said is true?"
Lin Wanrong nodded and laughed loudly: "Are there any jokes in the army? Li Wuling, for the loyalty of the Li family for generations, no matter who you face, you can't lose, understand?"
"Understood! General Lin, I want to defeat you!" Li Wuling roared, threw himself in front of Lin Wanrong, and threw his fist at his chest
