Now, it's even more different. I wonder if the master would have felt this way when he walked into the Cliff Academy? He must have dragged them to do those things on the academy lake that Pei Qian found particularly fun at the time. Was it because the master had

Have you thought about today? Because growing up seems to be fun and pleasant, but it is actually a particularly unpleasant thing?

Pei Qian scratched her head, stamped her feet, and was very annoyed. She was now the third shopkeeper of two shops, so why didn't she remember anything? She took out two bunches of candied haws wrapped in oil paper from her sleeves, and forgot to give them to Sister Aquarius.

!

She sighed, put back a bunch of candied haws on her sleeve, left one bunch, and started to nibble on it. It tasted really good. As for the money to buy the candied haws, it was Shi Rou's money, and she really was just doing it in a New Year's shop.

Inside, I muttered a few more words about candied haws on a stick, and asked Shi Rou a few more questions, whether she heard the sound of hawkers walking around the streets selling candied haws on a stick. After going back and forth, Shi Rou took the initiative to give her a handful of copper coins and asked her to treat her.

There was no need to pay back for food. This was so embarrassing. She, Pei Qian, was not the kind of greedy child, so she stared hard at the copper coins in Shi Rou's palm, then shook her head and waved her hands, saying no, no, no, no, no, but in the end she still accepted it.

Sorry, it's hard to refuse such kindness.

After eating the candied haws, I just kept the bunch in my sleeve. After all, Shi Rou came up with the money. Go back and give it to her. As for Sister Aquarius’ share, she will pay for it herself tomorrow.

Jianghu people act so boldly.

Pei Qian waved his walking stick and caught a glimpse of the native dog hiding from a distance. As soon as he glared, the native dog immediately ran to her side with its tail between its legs and lay down next to her.

Pei Qian squatted down, grabbed its mouth, and said angrily: "Little brother, what's the matter with you? You are so short, are you a short winter melon? Isn't it embarrassing? Huh? Speak up!"

It had received a great blessing inexplicably, but in fact it had already become a spirit. It was supposed to be running around in the mountains to the west of Longquan County, motionless like a native dog chasing the mountains, with its eyes full of grievance and sorrow.

It is now enlightened and psychic, and its backer is the Longquan Sword Sect. Among the mountains to the west, it can be regarded as a landscape spirit that no one can mess with. However, it is still far from being able to speak human words and transform into a human form.

Pei Qian tightened her grip on the native dog's mouth and refused to let go. Her eyes widened, "If you don't speak, you are not convinced? Who gave you the guts?!"

It didn't dare to move.

Pei Qian twisted his wrist, and the dog's head twisted. The native dog immediately began to whimper. Pei Qian shouted angrily: "Tell me, are you carrying me behind your back to bully the big white goose in the town again? Otherwise, why would I just take you with me every time?"

, they run away when they see it? Do you know, what does it mean to have a strong fist but not to use it?! I am so angry that you have been following me for so long and you have not learned at all."

That native dog probably wanted to die.

Who was riding a big white goose running around in the alleys back then?

Pei Qian finally let go of the local dog, let go of her hand, stood up, and clapped her hands. Suddenly she blinked hard and stretched out her hand to rub it.

The last time she ate the beads handed over by her master in Qilong Lane, she had been like this all the time. Her eyes were sore, but it didn't hurt, but she was a little upset. When she was copying books several times, the strokes would become skewed in the blink of an eye.

If you write neatly, you have to rewrite it. This is one of the few rules of the master. She has always followed it, even though no one cares about her copying now.

And she occasionally looked at the paper full of words, and she always felt that some words were moving. But when she looked at it carefully, it was normal, and the words were lying neatly on the paper one by one.

Pei Qian planned to take the opportunity of taking Sister Baoping to Luoluo Mountain to ask the old cook Zhu who was idle in the mountain all day long. Anyway, he knew everything. If he couldn't do it, he would ask the mountain god Wei Bo. If he couldn't do it, alas,

She could only go to the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den on the second floor of the Bamboo House to ask the old man who would teach her boxing techniques if she disagreed. Wasn't it just that the old man was older and had more strength than the master by a few kilograms or a few liang. What boxing techniques did the old man know?

Can her master understand this? The old man knows nothing!

Pei Qian began to walk toward the town with a swagger. He raised his head and did not look at the road. He held his chest high and said loudly: "Walking arrogantly will make the enemy panic! If you are a friend, kill the local dog and I will eat the meat and you will drink the soup!"

The native dog, with its tail between its legs, followed obediently behind Heroine Pei.

The town became more and more lively because of the arrival of many students from Sui Academy who spoke the elegant dialect of Yizhou.

Li Huai took Liu Guan and Ma Lian to his house. It was in dilapidated condition. Liu Guan was okay. He was born in a poor family, but Ma Lian was dumbfounded. He had seen poor people, but never seen such a poor family. Li Huai

But he didn't care, took out the key, opened the door, and took them to fetch water to clean the house. Naturally, there was more than just Tiesuo Well in the town, there was one nearby, but it was not as sweet as the water from Tiesuo Well. Li Huainiang

When something good happened to someone at home, or when he heard something bad happened to someone else, he would take a long way to fetch water there, with Granny Ma from Xinghua Lane and Widow Gu from Mu Ping Lane.

Mother-in-law, let’s learn from each other.

Liu Guan was a lazy man and didn't want to move. He said he would light the fire and cook. Li Huai took Ma Lian to fetch water. As a result, Ma Lian's thin-skinned and tender shoulders were miserable.

The woman laughed endlessly, and the handsome Ma Lian blushed.

When Li Baoping arrived in the small town, he returned home first. His mother's tears never stopped, and Li Baoping couldn't hold back either.

Li Baoping left Fulu Street and went to Qilong Lane, which he was very familiar with. The two shops that are now his uncle's were originally the ancestral property of the croissant braid. Li Baoping went there often when he was a child.

, not to mention that Li Baoping walked from small to large in and out of the town, walking down the streets and alleys with his eyes closed. But this time he walked slowly, no longer in a hurry. Sure enough, he saw him sitting on a bench at the New Year's shop.

After waiting hard for his Pei Qian, Li Baoping quickened his pace. After staying in the shop for a while, he and Pei Qian went to Mu Ping Alley. They found that the ancestral house of his junior uncle was clean and there was no need to clean it. Li Baoping

Take Pei Qian back to Fulu Street.

Pei Qian squatted next to the small pool, stared at the stones, and looked at the golden crucian carp that was said to have been kept in it for many years, which was given to her by her junior uncle back then, and a golden small carp that had been kept there for many years.

Sister Aquarius caught the crab herself. In fact, the truth of the matter, to be precise, was that the little girl in the red cotton jacket pinched her fingers for it, ran home with tears all the way, and opened the crab's claws for her elder brother Li Xisheng.

Pei Qian looked at them for a long time. The two little guys didn't show much respect and hid themselves away from people.

The small pool was built by Li Baoping when she was very young. She personally picked the stones from the stream. She only picked colorful and beautiful ones. The ants moved them again and again, and it took a lot of effort to pile them up first.

At the corner of the wall, there was a hill, which later became the pool. Nowadays, most of the stones that were the "founding merits of the country" have faded, losing their luster and vision, but there are still many stones of different sizes that are still there.

Crystal clear, under the sunlight, the brilliance flows and is full of aura.

Lin Shouyi went there

The kiln superintendent built the government office and visited his old place again. He often played here when he was a child.

The Lin family is a wealthy family in the town, but it is not among the four major surnames and the ten major families. Moreover, the Lin family is not well-known and does not like to interact with neighbors. Just like Lin Shouyi's father, he only supervises the government office and has a low reputation.

He was just an official. When he was serving as the only yamen in the town at that time, before he moved away from Lizhu Dongtian, he had assisted three kiln supervisors, but no one seemed to want to promote him.

The Lin family moved to Dali Capital, but the old house is still there and has not been sold, but only a few old servants are left.

Lin Shouyi has never thought much about his family since he was sensible.

The family seemed to treat him the same way.

The two look disgusted with each other.

Even though Lin Shouyi's deeds in the academy have been gradually reported to Dali, the family still seems to be indifferent.

Lin Shouyi didn't think it was strange. His father had always been like this. As long as it was something that his father believed in, and other people's words and deeds, as long as they didn't agree with him, they were wrong. And between father and son, mother would always stand by her husband.

Bian, the way she looks at her son, has always been cold and indifferent, like looking at someone who just helps her stay in the Lin family. He is not an outsider, nor a relative. Anyway, it is not like a mother treating her own flesh and blood.

Politeness hides alienation.

Lin Shouyi recognized his father's colleagues in the government office and took the initiative to visit them. We didn't talk much, there was really nothing to talk about, and warm and pleasant exchanges with people had never been Lin Shouyi's strong point.

It is said that Mr. Cao went out for a walk today. According to the subordinates of the government office, there is no doubt that Mr. Cao went out to drink.

Lin Shouyi could not help but feel a little strange. It seemed that no matter whether officials or subordinates, when talking about the supervisor who they should be careful about his words, each one smiled more sincerely than the other and spoke casually.

It happened that Yu Lu took Xie Xie to the ancestral house of the Cao family. After their respective identities were revealed, Yu Lu and Xie Xie were both brought here, together with the handsome young man named Cui Ci, the national master who gave the young man his appearance.

Cui Chan became a slave.

The direct grandson of the Cao family of the Shangzhu Kingdom of Dali, who is now Cao Duzao of Longquan County, lives here now.

He got drunk today, so Mr. Cao simply didn't go to the government office, where he was the most senior official and ordered a lot of shit. Carrying an empty wine bottle, smelling of alcohol, he staggered back to his ancestral home, intending to take a nap.

, I met people on the road, I greeted and addressed them well, no matter men, women, old or young, they were familiar with each other. When I saw a little kid wearing crotchless pants, I even kicked him lightly. Children are not afraid of him as a high official.

He chased him and spat wildly. Mr. Cao ran and hid. The women on the street were not surprised and looked at the young official with smiles on their faces.

Mr. Cao finally got rid of that little bastard's entanglement, and happened to meet Yu Lu and Xie halfway. I don't know whether he recognized or guessed their identities. The suave and drunk Mr. Cao asked Yu Lu if he had a drink.

Yu Lu said he could drink a little. Master Cao shook the empty wine bottle, threw the key to Yu Lu, turned around and ran to the wine shop. Yu Lu was helpless, thanked him and asked: "This kind of person really belongs to the Cao family.

Future head of the family?"

Yu Lu smiled and said: "That's how it works, right?"

Thank you for snorting.

Compared to Magistrate Yuan, who was gentle and diligent in government affairs, Cao Duzao was a well-known romantic man. He only visited all the major dragon kilns once and never visited them again.

On the contrary, when I am in a small town or a county, I often travel between places. I like to buy wine, invite people to drink, and even more like to chat with people. Almost every time I show up, I have a wine pot in my hand. The only difference is that the wine in the pot is

Just drink or not. Men in small towns like to drink and chat with this official from the capital. Every time Master Cao shows up, a large group of idle men who love to drink will immediately gather around and listen to Master Cao talking about the things in the capital.

Who cares about the interesting things on the side, whether they are true or false, they are just for fun. Besides, as long as you are drunk, Mr. Cao will often say, I will pay for the drinks today!

Women and young ladies all liked this young official with a charming smile.

His popularity among women in small towns is no less than that of the young Taoist priest who ran a fortune-telling stall.

On Piyun Mountain.

Mao Xiaodong spoke and said hello to Linlu Academy. The masters from the Sui Dynasty finally met the prince Gao Xuan who was studying here.

Otherwise, no one would dare to say this. They are not afraid of getting into trouble. Who can become a teacher at Cliff Academy? Who doesn’t have such a sense of responsibility and scholarly spirit? They are worried that they will implicate Gao Xuan, who is in a foreign country.

A descendant of Geyang from the Great Sui Dynasty who he requested to replace his elder brother and serve as a hostage here!

Mao Xiaodong left after the two parties met.

The ancestor of the Geyang Gao family in the eleventh realm did not appear.

Gao Xuan looked at the most learned old scholars of the Sui Dynasty who bowed to him one by one and burst into tears. The young people who originally didn't feel that they were so wronged by coming here also had tears in their eyes.

Gao Xuan showed respect to those gray-haired scholars of the Sui Dynasty. As a junior Confucian scholar, Gao Xuan bowed respectfully to his predecessors.

The old masters all straightened their clothes and stood solemnly to receive this gift.
