In the evening, the sky has cleared up, and the setting sun is shining slantingly. Its light afterglow is like a veil, dyeing the white snow with a layer of yellowish color.

Ning Wuque walked out of the house, and by chance, when he looked up, he saw the girl who had fallen in the snow in the morning sitting on a stone bench under the plum tree, Qian Qiansu holding a book of poems in her hand.

The beautiful woman under the plum blossoms, with the setting sun shining down, outlined a beautiful outline, which made Ning Wuque feel a little crazy.

"Smelly scholar, what are you looking at?"

A very inappropriate shout sounded in Ning Wuque's ears, which frightened him to quickly look away and look to the side. The maid in the floral dress from the morning was glaring at Ning Wuque with a vigilant look on her face.

"Smelly scholar, I'm warning you, don't take advantage of my young lady."

Waving her fists, the little maid glanced at Ning Wuque, who was staring at her. She couldn't help but blush, and ran towards her mother in a few steps.

Ning Wuque touched his nose, he is not a bad person, why are you running?

"Miss, is your waist healed?" Ning Wuque looked at her and smiled softly.

"Xiao Tao, you are talking nonsense again." The girl who was studying came back to her senses, scolded the little maid, glared at Ning Wuque, and turned away angrily.

"It's so abominable that I made this young lady so embarrassed."

Thinking of how embarrassingly he fell in front of outsiders in the morning, Luo Ying was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a crack in the ground to get in. What was even more disgusting was that the smelly scholar could obviously help him, but he actually avoided it and watched him fall.

A dog eats shit.

Aren’t they all said to be modest and gentlemen, so what kind of heroes can save the beautiful? Are you not beautiful enough?

Angry is something that the more she thinks about it, the angrier it gets. Now that she sees Ning Wuque again, Luo Ying has the urge to strangle Ning Wuque. You said you are a grown man, so fair and handsome, what do you do, do you want all the women?

My compatriots are alive? They are still smiling, smiling so charmingly, uh, no, smiling so meanly, shamelessly and despicably.

Naturally, Ning Wuque didn't know what his mother was thinking. When he saw that she was ignoring him, he thought he was still angry. After thinking about it, he left the courtyard and walked towards the Taoist kitchen. He hadn't had dinner yet. In the past, it was always a breeze and the bright moon brought him.

Come, I don’t know why today, I still haven’t come in the evening.

"Miss, miss, he's gone..." Seeing that her master was still struggling there, the little maid couldn't help but say.

"Ah? Gone?" Luo Ying raised his head and looked around, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he was occupied by anger. He said angrily: "Dead scholar, stinky scholar, curse you to slip when walking, choke when eating, drink water

Choking..."

"Miss, how can a man be so beautiful?" the little maid said infatuatedly.

"Who knows, being a pretty boy..."

After getting some food in the Taoist temple's kitchen, Ning Wuque went straight to the Taoist library. Ning Wuque could still read some ordinary books here, and the library was well lit, so he could read at night.

"Books are like medicine. If you read them well, you can cure stupidity."

Ning Wuque is determined to be a well-educated scholar. His family is poor and he has read almost all the books in the school. If he doesn't take this opportunity to read more, he will be struck by lightning.

Time flew by in a blink of an eye, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

After Zhang Qing stayed in the Taoist temple for three days, he took his servant to the county. He was the examiner of the county examination, so naturally he could not stay in the Taoist temple all the time. The girl who had been Ning Wuque's neighbor for three days also followed Zhang Qing.

He left, still angry when he left, leaving Zhang Qing feeling baffled and confused.

Ning Wuque learned from Qingfeng that her mother's name was Luoying, she was the daughter of Zhang Qing, and she was favored by Zhang Qing. Her mother's surname was Sui, she was eighteen years old, and she was a famous beauty in Qingzhou. Many young masters from aristocratic families had passed through

At the threshold of the Zhang family, she wanted to ask for marriage, but Luo Ying refused.

When introducing Ning Wuque, Qingfeng said seriously: "If the young master can marry a good wife, his future will be bright."

Ning Wuque shook his head for a while. Qingfeng didn't know that he had offended someone so much that he was still angry when he left. Besides, so many young men from aristocratic families didn't like him, so he would like a poor scholar like himself?

I am not one of Ning Caichen's ilk, who can make Xiaoqian lose her heart. Without that beautiful blessing, don't think so much.

In Ning Wuque's view, Zhang Qing and Luo Ying were just passers-by on the road of life to him, and how could he be the same to them?

In the house, Ning Wuque put on his old and patched white gown, walked out of the backyard, and walked towards the place where Taoist Baiyun practiced meditation.

Today is already February 21st. He has lived in Baiyun Temple for thirty-six days. In more than ten days, it will be time for the county examination. Ning Wuque has thought for a long time and wants to take this opportunity to leave Baiyun Temple.

"You want to leave?"

Taoist Baiyun saw Ning Wuque's intention at a glance, thought about it, and said: "Forget it, your injury has healed, and the county examination is approaching, so it's time to let you go back. In a few days, we will go out and travel around."

, this time we say goodbye, you and I are destined to be together, this little thing can express our feelings."

Ning Wuque was slightly surprised, Taoist Baiyun is leaving? Thinking about it, it seems normal. For a Taoist, heaven and earth are home. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Taoism is natural, and you have to go to heaven and earth to understand it.

, how can you just stay in a Taoist temple?

After exchanging pleasantries with Taoist Baiyun, Ning Wuque came out with a blue baggage in his hand.

They talked to Qingfeng and Mingyue again, and the two of them knew that their fate was here. Together they gave Ning Wuque a book case, and then said goodbye to the Taoist priests in the temple one by one. Near noon, Ning Wuque carried the book case on his back and carried it in his arms.

With a few steamed buns, I turned back three times, waved my hands, and started on my way back down the mountain to go home.

Baiyun Temple is located deep in the mountains. The road down the mountain is rugged and winding, hidden among the snowy mountains.

Along the way, Ning Wuque ate steamed buns and hummed a little tune, like a bird that had escaped from its cage, walking happily. He knew that Taoist Baiyun was still following behind, but the old Taoist was still worried.

After walking five miles, when he saw Ning Wuque, Taoist Baiyun stopped and sighed.

"It's just that I was too persistent and misunderstood him."

In a flash, Taoist Baiyun turned around and returned to Baiyun Temple. Ning Wuque guessed that Taoist Baiyun would follow, but he didn't know when Taoist Baiyun left. When he was in body, he could only sense movement within a hundred meters, and with Taoist Baiyun's

If you cultivate yourself deliberately, even if you are around him, he may not be able to notice it.

After crossing the small bridge outside Ningjia Village, I saw two large bare willow trees. Below, several children with red faces were happily making snowmen. There was also a tall figure with disheveled hair mixed in among the children, laughing.

The look in his eyes is as pure as a child's.
