Xiaojiu blinked for a long time, then suddenly bowed down and said: "Master, what is your name? Can I become your teacher?" Just now he was just talking, but now he came back to his senses. How could he encounter such a person?
The opportunity to become a master is so rare. Just the flick of the opponent's fingers reveals his magical power.
The man in Ge Yi chuckled, turned slightly to help Xiao Jiu up and said, "You have your own fate, you don't need to worship me as your teacher." Xiao Jiu's eyes just showed disappointment, and then he heard the other person continue, "
But since you and I are destined to meet each other in the future, I may be able to answer your questions."
Being able to answer questions and ask questions to the other person if you want to know anything, what is the difference between this and apprenticeship? When thinking of this, Xiaojiu couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Then when can I see you again, or go
Where can I find you?"
The man in Geyi replied: "If you see white hair growing on an ox's ears, come here the next day and you will see me."
Xiaojiu asked in confusion: "What does it mean when a cow's ears grow white hair?"
The man in Ge Yi waved his hand: "You will understand after you go back."
Xiaojiu: "I wonder how to call you sir in the future?"
Man in Ge Yi: "You don't have to know my name, just call me husband... It's getting late today, you should go down the mountain and go home."
Seeing that the other party was about to send him away, Xiaojiu wanted to seize the opportunity to get closer to him, and asked eagerly: "Sir, since you are willing to help me solve my doubts and give me advice, what else can I do for you?"
Or what else do you want me to do? I heard that when an expert accepts a disciple, he must test him again and again..."
Xiao Jiu is very smart and thinks quickly. He remembered many legends and stories he had heard. When he met an expert in the world, he didn't just want to become a disciple. I heard that many experts had to go through various examinations before accepting disciples.
Their qualifications and conduct mainly depend on their own temperament and whether they meet the requirements of inheritance.
The master in front of him did not let him become a disciple, but he was willing to find an opportunity to answer his questions. He clearly wanted to test him. Xiaojiu wanted to pass the test eagerly. But he was smart. He was still just a child after all, and he should have kept these things in mind.
It was enough to count, but he said it.
The man in Ge Yi looked at him with great interest and said: "You are very smart. Smart people tend to think too much. I don't need you to deliberately do anything for me. If it is a test, it is also a test for you in the world. It depends on you.
How do you do your own thing?" After saying that, Xiaojiu felt the breeze blowing on her face, and in the blink of an eye, the man in Ge Yi had disappeared.
Xiaojiu bowed again to the open space and went home happily. He bypassed a village and his own farm, and as soon as he reached the intersection leading to the other courtyard, he was stopped by two people in a panic.
The reporter grabbed him and said: "Sir, I finally found you. Just hope you are fine!"
These are the two child servants at home. Xiaojiu wondered: "Isn't it just a trip out to play? I often come back later than today, and I haven't seen you so panicked. Did something happen at home?"
The boy servant replied: "The chief of the Pinglu tribe came to you with a group of people to settle a score. It is said that you injured his grandson. Uncle Tailuo blocked the people outside the courtyard gate and asked us to come out from the back door to find him.
You. He was afraid that you were also injured and something happened."
After meeting the mysterious master, Xiaojiu had long forgotten about beating Neng Ping. Unexpectedly, the old one came after beating the younger one. Xiaojiu took off the jade pendant from his waist and held it in his hand and said
: "Let's go take a look. It's getting late. It's time to have dinner after we finish."
The boy servant quickly advised: "Let's talk about it later, those people are very vicious and they are just looking for you."
Xiaojiu snorted and said: "Since it's me who is looking for me, of course I have to go! So what if it's fierce? I can always hide outside and not go home? Besides, Uncle Tailuo should send the person away quickly.
I can't let them leave like this."
Before they could reach the gate of the courtyard, they heard the steward Tailuo shouting loudly: "Ping Lu Da Huai, your direct grandson can be a commoner and rob the precious weapons of the Baoming Kingdom. It is a crime of disrespect in violation of Chinese etiquette. You brought him again?"
People surrounded the courtyard of the Prince of Baoming Kingdom, and spoke rudely and offensively! Handling this matter has exceeded the authority of the local officials, and Lord Bojun should personally convict him..."
The leader of the Pinglu tribe came with a fierce attack. His favorite grandson was beaten with blood on his face, and it looked like he was seriously injured. The assailant was Xiaojiu, a man from a low-income family in the eyes of the nobles in the neighborhood. He was a very unpopular person.
A young master from a remote country. He was angry and went to find him. He wanted the other party to apologize and compensate, or at least give him an explanation. Xiaojiu and Tailuo, the young master and old servant, didn't dare to do anything.
Pinglu Dahuai is not an aristocrat, but he thinks he is very powerful, at least compared to his opponent. If he roars in the three villages of the Pinglu tribe, he can bring out hundreds of strong men, and he can even scare the opponent to death.
Of course he didn't bring a hundred people, but a dozen big men were enough to scare people.
Tai Luo, the old steward, stopped them outside the gate of the other courtyard. After hearing their purpose, he tried to persuade them again and again. It was just a fight between children. Since both sides had started fighting, there were no serious consequences. Adults, please stop.
After thinking about it, Tailuo sent out all the people around him while trying to persuade him. Two boy servants went to find Xiao Jiu, and another boy servant and the maid Xiao Xia went to inquire about the situation.
While the commotion was going on, Xiao Xia had inquired about the situation clearly and came back to whisper a few words. When Tai Luo saw Ping Lu Da Huai, he still refused to let him go and insisted that he call Xiao Jiu out, otherwise he would rush into the other courtyard. His expression changed.
He sternly scolded Pinglu Dahuai for conniving his descendants to commit crimes. He surrounded the prince of Baoming and robbed him of the important weapons inherited from the country.
This was a serious crime. I didn’t expect that Tailuo, who had always been very low-key and courteous, would suddenly become so violent. The leader of the Luping clan was startled, took a few steps back and waved his hands: "You old slave, don't do this."
You're just kidding me, kids are just fighting and playing, who are you trying to scare with such a big charge? Even if you accuse Mr. Bojun, Mr. Bojun won't be so confused!"
Tailuo was indeed trying to scare him, but it was just children fighting and playing around. How could they bring it to Bojun's place? Wouldn't it annoy Bojun to death? He and Xiaojiu had an awkward status here and were not welcomed by others.
, it is better to do less than to do more. But now that someone is coming to your door, it is not possible without scaring him. In short, we cannot let the young master be humiliated.
At this moment, a child's voice suddenly came and said: "Pinglu Dahuai, you publicly announced that Mr. Bojun is stupid, so many people heard it." Following the voice, Xiaojiu walked through the crowd and walked over.
Standing in front of his house.
Pinglu Dahuai was startled again, pointed at Xiao Jiu and said: "You kid, don't talk nonsense. How could I say that Lord Bojun is confused? I only said that Lord Bojun is not that confused!"
Xiao Jiu raised the jade pendant and said eloquently: "This is a weapon given by the monarch, which represents the status of the son of Lu Zebu stationed in Baoming Kingdom. Your grandson Neng Ping was greedy for treasures, led the crowd to plunder, and also tried to murder me and kill me."
"
Ping Lu Dahuai's fingers trembled and said: "What are you talking about? How can Ping Lu kill someone and silence them? Why did he murder you?"
Xiaojiu: "He forced me to jump off a high cliff in an attempt to take my life. Seventeen people present witnessed it with their own eyes!...You just clearly said that if Mr. Bojun abides by Chinese etiquette and the five punishments, you will be punished.
, it’s just confusion. Isn’t that what it means?”
There were already a lot of people watching the fun outside the courtyard gate. Pinglu Dahuai felt a little scared and gritted his teeth and said: "Why are you so cruel at such a young age? It's just a child's play, that's all. I won't argue with you anymore!"
Bi waved his hand and wanted to lead people away.
Xiaojiu shouted: "Stop! Are you going to leave just now? As you said, the child's heart can't be so vicious. It's clearly the elders in the family who are instigating it. When I see you and others trying to break into my other courtyard, I know that this is indeed the case.
! This is not something you don’t care about. I want to care about it. At noon tomorrow, I will go to the city wall to report to Lord Bojun."
Hearing this, Pinglu Dahuai really stopped and said harshly: "What do you want?" A dozen of his men also surrounded him again.
Xiao Jiu pointed around and said: "With so many people witnessing it, everyone can hear clearly what crime you have committed. If you really dare to do something to me, it will be adding crime to crime, and it will probably bring disaster to the whole family. I can give you
I will spare you this opportunity. Before noon tomorrow, bring a gift to my house to apologize, and publicize the incident to all the neighbors. If noon does not come, I will sue Mr. Bojun!"
After saying that, he waved his hands and entered the courtyard gate, and at the same time ordered: "Tailao, close the door!" After he appeared, he only said a few words, and even before Ping Lu Dahuai could react, he seemed very neat and tidy. Everyone went in, and the courtyard door also closed.
After closing the door, Pinglu Dahuai blushed and was stunned for a long time. Finally, he took the people away, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.
After Xiao Jiu walked into the hall, she felt a little weak in her calves. After all, she had been stared at by more than a dozen big men just now. She quickly sat down and took a sip of water handed over by the maid. She patted her chest and stuck out her tongue and said, "Theirs."
He looked so fierce, I was so scared that I broke out in a sweat!"
Tailuo said: "Sir, you can just send the person away, so why make the matter so big? It's just a fight. I think you don't seem to have suffered, so there's no need to care too much."
Xiaojiu shook his head and said: "Uncle Tailuo, maybe I'm still young and ignorant, but there should always be sensible people, right? I didn't want to care about it in the first place. If they didn't come to the door, I would have forgotten about it. But since they
We have to care about it, and if we don’t care about it, it would be wrong. There is no small or big thing, it just depends on whether it should be done or not.
I know you always want to scare them away, but if you want to scare people, you have to be really frightened. You know you are right, why do you still feel guilty? If you really go to Bojun's place to discuss the punishment code, it is just a fight between children, of course
You're asking for trouble, but when the leader of the other clan comes to visit, things change. How can you still say it's just children fighting? You should know the truth better than me."
Tailuo could only nod his head and said: "Young Master is right, but why do you still want them to come and apologize before noon tomorrow?"
Xiao Jiu: "I had an idea! Seeing that they were coming around again and looking scary, I found something to make them think about. As long as I said that, Ping Lu Dahuai would think about whether to come tomorrow or not? He just wanted to say that.
I was thinking about tomorrow, but nothing will happen today, so I quickly closed the door and let him think slowly, and then he would have time to find someone who understands."
Tailuo: "Will they come to apologize tomorrow?"
Xiaojiu: "Whether they come or not is their business."
Tailuo: "If they don't come, do we really have to go to Bojun to complain?"
Xiao Jiu: "Of course, you can't take care of other people's affairs, you have to do your own affairs, right? The words have been spoken out, so many people have heard them, how can you not believe them? If that's the case, who will do it in the future?
Do you take it seriously?"
Tailuo: "Even if we sue Bojun, will Bojun punish them?"
Xiaojiu: "How Bojun handles it is Bojun's business. Even if Bojun is unhappy, as long as he and his subordinates are not completely confused, he will at least reprimand Ping Lu Dahuai and won't do anything to us.
Seeing that there was still worry in Tailuo's eyes, he seemed to comfort him: "You don't have to worry, they will come to apologize before noon tomorrow."
Tailuo: "How dare you be so sure, Master?"
Xiaojiu: "Although I was still young when I was in junior high school, I can already remember it. It's not like I haven't seen this kind of thing before! Then Ping Lu Dahuai is always a sensible adult, and he is also the leader of the clan. The details of the matter are very clear. Find someone who understands
If someone asks, he will know what the consequences will be if he really goes to Bojun.
A mere leader of the Pinglu clan, what he sees as a big scene is just leading a dozen people to block the door. No matter how confident he is, he only thinks that we can be bullied. But when it comes to Bojun, who is he?
, I don’t even have the slightest confidence. In fact, it doesn’t matter how big or small it is, it all depends on how people see it... Just rest, you can still make some money tomorrow.”
Tailuo was startled: "After doing this for a long time, does the young master want to steal a fortune from him?"
Xiao Jiu said with some embarrassment: "I just want to teach them a lesson. I know that we are short of money recently, and you always seem to be planning to buy real estate. This is what they brought to your door, and I can't deal with it."
They have to care about each other, but Pinglu Dahuai has to care about things. They should apologize, and I want to make it known to all the neighbors, otherwise how can we live a peaceful life here? "
Tailuo sighed: "I think all the princes in the country are far inferior to you!"
Xiaojiu smiled bitterly and said, "Why should I compete with them?"
The man in Ge Yi whom Xiao Jiu had just met in the mountains was now standing in mid-air, invisible, seeing everything clearly, and couldn't help but nod and smile bitterly: "This kid is interesting, even a bit evil!
"
Tai Luo arranged dinner for Xiao Jiu, and told the servants and maids that the young master had a fight and was frightened today, so they should serve him carefully. But after Xiao Jiu fell asleep, what he thought about was not this matter, but thinking about it——
What exactly is ox ears and pekoe?
The next day, as Xiaojiu said, Pinglu Dahuai brought people to the door to apologize. Of course, he couldn't do it empty-handed. He also sent a batch of cloth and food. Although Pinglu Dahuai was very reluctant, he still did it. This tone was held in his heart after all.
Feeling uncomfortable, after returning home, he beat his son, Neng Ping's father, again.
