Li Bao** had accumulated a lot of words, but when she saw Chen Ping'an and every word came to her lips, they all fell back to her stomach.
Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and made a gesture on Li Bao's forehead, "You have grown a lot taller."
Li Bao** jumped a little, and said with a sad face: "Little uncle, why are you growing faster than me? You can't catch up."
Chen Pingan helped the little girl wipe the tears from her face, but Li Bao suddenly fell into his arms. Chen Pingan was a little caught off guard, so he had to hug the little girl gently and smiled knowingly. It seemed that she had not grown up much.
The old master surnamed Liang looked at this scene. How should I put it, it was like admiring the freshest and warmest picture in the world, with the spring breeze against the willows and the green mountains against the green water.
There is a well-written poem: the golden wind and jade dew meet each other and win countless things in the world.
So the old master was also very happy and cheerful.
The children, one large and one young, greeted the old master and entered the academy.
Li Bao** was like a little oriole, chattering non-stop, introducing Chen Ping'an to the situation in the academy.
When the two came to the guest house, Chen Ping'an saw a tall old man standing at the door with Pei Qian. Pei Qian quietly opened his mouth wide without making a sound, making a "mao" mouth shape.
After walking around a lot, Chen Ping'an subconsciously wanted to clasp his fists, but he quickly put them away and followed the example of the Confucian scholar in bowing to the deputy master of the Cliff Academy.
Mao Xiaodong nodded in greeting and stepped forward, "Chen Pingan, let's talk."
Twelve-year-old Li Bao** and eleven-year-old Pei Qian were left at the door of the guest house.
A red skirt and a small black charcoal skirt.
Li Bao** looked at Pei Qian. Pei Qian didn't know how to position his hands and feet. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her.
Li Bao** walked around Pei Qian, and finally stood back and asked, "Are you Pei Qian? My junior uncle said that you were his founding disciple, and we walked a long way together?"
Pei Qian drooped his head and nodded.
Li Bao** asked: "My uncle said that you are very talented in martial arts, and you are very smart. You can endure hardships like I did back then. He also said that your biggest dream is to ride a little donkey and travel around the world?"
Pei Qian raised his head, glanced at Li Bao**, then lowered his head and nodded.
Li Bao** thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll give you two things as a meeting gift. Come with me."
Pei Qian swallowed and did not dare to move. Although Pei Qian knew that this young lady who liked to wear red clothes was definitely not a bad person, she was just afraid of walking into that dark alley. As soon as Li Bao** turned around, he gave her a
I put a sack on myself and threw it into a corner of the Sui capital outside the academy.
Li Bao** had already turned around and ran out a few steps. When he turned around and saw Pei Qian standing there like a wooden figure, he said considerately: "My junior uncle has said a lot about you, saying that you are timid, okay?
Put the yellow paper talisman on your forehead and follow me."
Pei Qian quickly took out a pagoda demon-suppressing talisman and slapped it on his forehead. Only then did he gain some courage and slowly walked forward.
Li Bao's steps were fast, just to take care of Pei Qian's walking speed, so he had to take very small steps, his arms were like swings, and ran backwards to Pei Qian, "Pei Qian, you are the pioneer of my junior uncle.
Disciple, even if you are unfamiliar with the place and are afraid of meeting strangers in the academy, you still have to pretend to be brave. Besides, as long as I am here, no one will dare to bully you, so don't worry."
Pei Qian forced a smile on his face, took out a lamp-raising charm, and handed it to Mr. Li Bao. As expected, he just acted according to the wind and thought of trying to please Mr. Li Bao first. As for his original ambitions, what?
The struggle with Mr. Li Bao has been forgotten for a long time.
But as soon as he took out his hand, Pei Qian felt a little regretful, feeling that he would be looked down upon by Mr. Li Bao. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li Bao directly took his hand, dipped it in his saliva, slapped it hard on his forehead, and laughed.
Pei Qian also laughed.
Pei Qian could even see through the magical power of the abbot of the ancestors of Taiping Mountain, so she could actually see the ups and downs of some people's hearts. Some people were like ink, with dark hearts and minds, and some people were like a mess, confused and without any idea.
For example, the female ghost Shirou is facing the wind and rain, with only a golden seed that is not easy to see. It has just sprouted and has a little bit of green. Another example is Zhu Lian, who is particularly scary, with bloody winds, thunder and lightning.
, but there is a vaguely beautiful attic, which is rich and noble.
But some people... are as pure as glass, just like this young lady in red, so Pei Qian feels particularly ashamed of himself.
Seeing that she was still not walking fast, Li Bao gave up his plan to rush back to his guest house, and walked with Pei Qian on a tortoise, and asked casually: "I heard from my junior uncle that you met Cui Dongshan, he has
Bullying you?"
Pei Qian didn't dare to tell the truth, he just said it was okay.
Li Bao** grabbed something with one hand, put it to his mouth and breathed, "This guy just needs to be dealt with. When he returns to the academy, I will vent his anger on you."
Pei Qian turned around and took a peek at Li Bao**, and was immediately impressed with his admiration.
Except for Master, from the four of them, Old Wei Xiaobai, to Sister Shi Rou, and even that ox monster, who is not afraid of Cui Dongshan? Pei Qian is even more afraid.
There seems to be a huge dark deep pool in Cui Dongshan's heart, but it is not the kind of lifeless stagnant water. There are shadows and shadows. The so-called dragon that Pei Qian saw from books and hanging portraits has a shadow outline, swimming slowly.
Every time the dragon's body approached the water, it would cause chilling ripples. Fortunately, there were piles of gold and silver books next to the water pool, which made it look less eerie. Otherwise, how could Pei Qian dare to follow Cui Dongshan?
get along.
The tall old man, with the ruler hanging on his waist, is the real backbone of Shanya Academy, Mao Xiaodong.
Mao Xiaodong led Chen Pingan all the way to his study room, and there was almost no polite exchange with Chen Pingan on the way.
After the two sat down, Mao Xiaodong, who had always had a straight face, suddenly smiled, stood up, and bowed to Chen Pingan.
Chen Ping'an quickly moved out of the way, thinking that he was definitely not worthy of this sudden Confucian gift.
After Mao Xiaodong stood up, he said with a smile: "If you hadn't been the protector of our Cliff Academy, most of its cultural heritage would have been lost."
Chen Ping'an didn't know how to answer.
Mao Xiaodong explained: "I was outside just now and there were so many eyes and ears that it was inconvenient to speak my own language. Junior brother, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Chen Pingan smiled bitterly and was about to say something.
Mao Xiaodong waved his hand and said, "As long as you know what's going on, it's fine."
Chen Pingan sat down helplessly.
Mao Xiaodong looked at Chen Ping'an with a smile and stretched out his hand, "Junior brother, show me your customs clearance document so that I can learn more."
Chen Pingan stood up again and handed over the customs clearance document with both hands.
After Mao Xiaodong took it, he smiled and said: "I have to thank my junior brother for subduing this little bastard Cui Dongshan. If this guy wasn't worried about you visiting the academy one day, he would probably turn Xiao Dongshan and the Great Sui Capital City upside down. "
Chen Pingan said: "Actually, Cui Dongshan is still afraid of Mr. Wen Sheng and has little to do with me."
Mao Xiaodong stretched out his hand and nodded Chen Ping'an, "Junior brother's behavior is really similar to that of our husband. He did great feats in the past, but in the face of us disciples, he spoke more modestly, no matter how small it is. The credit is not big or big, it’s just words. You guys, stop flattering me. It’s as if your husband has done a great thing that will be praised by the people. The person I won the argument with, sir, is not the Taoist Buddha. You are so excited. What's the action? Why, did you think from the beginning that you, sir, can't win? You will be surprised when you win. You, Mao Xiaodong, smiled the most ridiculously. Go out and go to the yard with Zuo Zuo to read for punishment. Well, remember to remind Zuo Zuo to steal When you climb out of the wall, bring a late-night snack to Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi is growing up now, so remember not to be too greasy. The smell will make you unable to sleep at night..."
Mao Xiaodong laughed heartily while telling some old stories about his husband.
Chen Pingan had a headache for a while.
Why do you think it's harder to chat with than Cui Dongshan?
Chen Ping'an asked: "I heard from Mr. Liang at the door earlier that Lin Shouyi is very promising. Don't worry. It's just that Li Huai seems to be not doing well in his studies. Will Li Huai be very tired from studying?"
Mao Xiaodong smiled and said: "With Li Huai's optimistic temper, even if the sky fell, he would be able to lie on the ground and play with his painted puppets and clay figurines. Maybe he would be happy that he didn't have to listen to the lectures from the masters and gentlemen today. Don't worry about Li Huai. He is at the bottom of his class every time, and he doesn't eat or drink less. Didn't his parents and sister come to the academy last time and left him some money, but he didn't spend it randomly. Only one time, the night watch master caught him. At that time, he was taking two classmates from the school, filling bowls with water instead of wine. The three of them were gnawing on big chicken legs. After they went out to stand on the board for punishment, Li Huai was still licking When he was full, Master asked him whether the plank or the chicken drumstick was more delicious. What do you think Li Huai said?"
Chen Pingan suppressed a smile and said: "If you can eat chicken legs after getting slapped, then the dumpling is also delicious. But I guess after saying this, Li Huai will have to eat all-you-can-eat dumplings."
Mao Xiaodong extended his thumb and said, "As expected of the junior brother who escorted them all the way, you really understand this Li Huai best."
Then Mao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Although Li Huai is slow to read, he is not stupid. Many of his peers can only recite. As long as Li Huai gets into it, he really becomes his own thing, so the teachers who teach are actually I have a very good impression of Li Huai, and every time I finish at the bottom, I don’t say anything bad about him.”
Chen Pingan said tentatively: "Li Huai should study more diligently and not be lazy. There is still something to say about these principles."
Mao Xiaodong's eyes were filled with admiration, "That's right. At that time, Li Er had just made a big fuss in the palace, and everyone was frightened. Firstly, the ladies liked Li Huai better, but secondly, they were really worried that Li Er was too protective of his calf. Some For a period of time, I didn’t even dare to say a harsh word, so I gave those teachers a lecture. After that, I got on the right track. I hit when I needed to be punished, and I scolded when I needed to. This is what a teacher and his disciples should do. Some state."
Chen Pingan asked: "After that incident, did children like Li Huai have any sequelae that they couldn't notice?"
Mao Xiaodong smiled and said: "As long as I'm here, and the worst thing is that Cui Dongshan, the bad-tempered person, is watching, nothing happens. This kind of thing is unavoidable, and it can be regarded as a part of studying and learning.
Don’t worry too much.”
Chen Ping'an hummed, "Relax freely and don't go to extremes. It's just that Master Mao Shan has to work harder."
Mao Xiaodong complained with a look on his face: "Is it so difficult to call out Senior Brother Mao? Why, do you think that I, Mao Xiaodong, am too far behind Qi Jingchun, even worse than Cui Cheng and Cui Dongshan, so I don't want to
Call me Senior Brother Mao?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "That's not the case. I beg Master Mao Shan for your understanding."
When it comes to matters involving cultural context, Chen Ping'an cannot tolerate being polite or perfunctory.
Mao Xiaodong seemed a little dissatisfied, but in fact he nodded secretly.
If he is a so-called saint from his own Cliff Academy, he will change his mind whenever he is attentive and sullen.
I am definitely qualified to call myself Senior Brother Mao, but it may not be appropriate to be Mr. Qi Jingchun and the junior disciples around me.
