Zhong Wen smiled and handed the second half of "Three Hundred High School Chinese Reading Comprehension" to Ning Jie.
"This...this is?" Ning Jie flipped through the books in her hands, the excitement on her face could not be suppressed, ""The Art of Reading Ancient Divine Texts"?"
"Yes, I only copied the first half of the book before." Zhong Wen nodded and said, "When I came this time, I also completed the second half of the book. I think it will be helpful to my sister."
"What, how can this be so embarrassing?" Ning Jie's face turned red, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, she said no, but her fingers kept flipping through the second half of the "Art of Reading Ancient Divine Texts" for a long time.
Then he raised his head and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Brother Zhong, the classics in the academy library are not allowed to be taken out, but there are also many private collections in my small courtyard. Which ones do you like?"
, just take it."
"What did my sister say? I came all the way to see you, how could I come home empty-handed?" Zhong Wen said with a smile, "It's just a manuscript. It's not a precious thing. If my sister can like it, then how can I do it?"
It couldn't be better."
Ning Jie was even more happy when she heard this. Her big bright and delicate eyes were bent into slits, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her pink cheeks were as lustrous as jade, as if the whole world's brilliance was focused on this woman, shining brightly.
Zhong Wen's eyes lit up and his mind wandered slightly.
I'm going to die. It turns out that this girl Xiaojie has such a beautiful smile that even a woman like me is tempted!
Ran Sujuan only felt that she had never seen Ning Jie smile as often as she did today. The naturally beautiful Mrs. Ning showed off her face and smiled. She really had the charm of being charming and captivating people. For
She couldn't help but think about her relationship with Zhong Wen.
"Brother Zhong, I have benefited a lot from the previous half of "The Art of Reading Ancient Divine Texts", but there are some contents in it that I still don't understand clearly." Ning Jie said, opening a book and pointing to the words.
He said, "It's rare for you to come here once. I wonder if you can help me clear up my doubts?"
Looking at Ning Jie's beautiful eyes full of expectation, Zhong Wen sighed secretly, recalling this woman's passion and persistence for divine literature, and knew that if he didn't "communicate" with her properly, he would not be able to get through. He smiled.
He nodded: "I just wanted to discuss it with my sister."
"This 'used-ism' statement is obscure and difficult to pronounce. There are many parts that I can't quite understand. For example, the word 'too unmodern' here has unclear meaning even if it is inferred by combining the words before and after it..." Ning Jie's white and tender left hand gently
He stroked his hair on the left side, pointed at the article in the book with his right hand, opened his red lips, and soon entered an academic state.
It turns out to be the masterpiece of Brother Shuren. Not to mention you, even I, a university graduate in the 21st century, didn’t know much about it back then.
While Zhong Wen was complaining in his mind, he cheered up and started "discussing" with her. The two of them soon became animated and threw Ran Sujuan aside, completely forgetting about it.
His attainments in theological literature have reached this level!
The more Ran Sujuan listened, the more surprised she became. Most of the so-called "discussions" were explained by Zhong Wen. Ning Jie, known as the first person in theological literature of the younger generation, turned out to be like a student, nodding and listening frequently, only occasionally interjecting a few words.
.
At first she could understand a few sentences, but later she was in a fog. Looking at the man and woman who were concentrating in front of her, she felt that they were completely different from her. She couldn't help stretching her arms and covering her lips with her bare hands.
Jiao Sheng yawned.
"I'm just here to discuss knowledge, but I'm neglecting Sister Ran." Zhong Wen suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "Sister Ning, I don't know if your small courtyard has a kitchen. I'm going to make some food."
"Yes, there are, but there are not many materials available inside." Ning Jie blushed when she heard this, "Besides, you are a guest from afar, how can I let you be the cook?"
She usually concentrates on studying knowledge and is not very concerned about housework. She usually receives a lot of care from Master Ning. Recently, her grandfather is not in the academy, and the ingredients in the kitchen have not been updated for a long time.
"Sister, it's not like you don't know my cooking skills." Zhong Wen laughed nonchalantly and said, "I wouldn't be able to get used to it if someone else did it!"
After saying that, he stood up and patted his clothes.
Seeing his persistence, Ning Jie had no choice but to take him to the kitchen. The several rooms she passed along the way were all open, and the things in them were arranged messily and willfully. When passing by one of them, Zhong Wen glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw some women clinging to their bodies.
Clothes were scattered haphazardly on the floor.
Ning Jie also noticed the scene in the room and couldn't help but blush. She stretched out her hand to grab Zhong Wen's sleeve and dragged him past the door in a hurry.
Is this... the sloppy king's house?
Looking at the messy kitchen with pots in the east and bowls in the west, Zhong Wen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, and glanced at Ning Jie beside him with a vague look in his eyes.
"On weekdays, grandpa is responsible for taking care of the kitchen." Ning Jie fiddled with the hair on her cheek, showing a look of shame, "Grandpa is not around these days, I, I haven't done much..."
"It's okay, leave this place to me." Zhong Wen pushed her out the door with a smile, "Sister Ning, just go back and chat with Sister Ran. You'll be fine soon."
After all, he was asking for help, and Zhong Wen was extremely attentive. He planned to use the method of separation and detachment while cooking to clean up the messy kitchen.
Ning Jie was driven out of the kitchen by him and passed by the room she just passed by. She hurriedly went in and put away the scattered underwear on the floor. She looked around until she confirmed that nothing was missing, then hurried back to the room where Ran Sujuan was, her face still expressionless.
Flushing, heartbeat not stopping.
"Xiaojie, who is Zhong Wen?" Ran Sujuan stared at Ning Jie's blushing face for a long time and finally couldn't help but ask.
"He comes from a training sect called 'Piaohua Palace' in the Daqian Empire." Ning Jie has a close relationship with Ran Sujuan and knows everything.
"You never leave the front door or step forward, how can you recognize people from secular sects?" Ran Sujuan asked puzzledly.
"A few days ago, didn't I go to Bingji Island to attend a seminar on divine literature? I accidentally got separated from my grandfather..." Ning Jie recounted how she got to know Zhong Wen, with a hint of emotion in her voice.
With a touch of tenderness and a touch of confusion.
"This boy is quite capable." Ran Sujuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, feeling that the plot was bizarre, like a novel. "During the day, he even passed the test of the stone tablet in front of the mountain gate, the bells in the academy, and...
It was just for him that I heard Old Master Liu say that he had to cultivate to the spiritual level to completely pass the level, and I don’t know how he did it."
"Brother Zhong's knowledge is profound and unfathomable. It's impossible to defeat him even if you think about it." Ning Jie's eyes sparkled, and she took Zhong Wen's feat as a matter of course.
Girl, you are going to perish!
Seeing the proud expression on Ning Jie's face, Ran Sujuan sighed inwardly.
Suddenly, the aroma of food wafted from the distance. Ran Sujuan, who was already hungry, suddenly felt a "gurgling" sound in her stomach and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Two sisters, try my craftsmanship."
After a while, Zhong Wen's voice came from the door, "The materials are limited, so I can only make some vegetarian dishes. Please don't blame me."
"It's hard for you to prepare so many dishes." Ning Jie looked surprised when she saw the four dishes and one soup in front of her.
She rummaged in the kitchen for a long time in the morning, but found nothing except a few green vegetables. Looking at the various red and green dishes in front of her, she couldn't imagine where Zhong Wen got the ingredients.
"I won't be polite to you anymore." Ran Sujuan picked up a slightly browned potato with her right hand, held it underneath with her left hand and put it into her mouth, chewing it carefully. Even though she was extremely hungry, her posture was still elegant.
tasty!
The potato pieces in your mouth are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the alluring aroma instantly spreads across your lips and teeth. It seems to be mixed with the smell of sesame and a little bit of "Sai Shen Xian". After one bite, the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth, and you will have endless aftertaste.
Ran Sujuan's eyes lit up, and she no longer cared about the beauty's reserve. Her hand speed at the Heavenly Wheel level exploded, and her chopsticks and spoons danced in the air, creating phantoms, exuding an astonishing momentum like a whirlwind of wind and lingering clouds.
Ning Jie had already known Zhong Wen's methods, and although she was stunning, she could still manage to maintain her eating style.
"I have never tasted such delicious food since I was a child." After clearing all the plates on the table, Ran Sujuan seemed to have experienced supreme happiness. Her whole body slumped weakly on the armchair, and her eyes narrowed into thin slits.
, put on a lazy and charming demeanor of "carefully dressed and with combed temples", "Zhong Wen, my sister has agreed to the matter between you and Xiaojie, just let it go and pursue it boldly."
Ning Jie's cheeks were dizzy and she said angrily: "Sister Juan, don't talk nonsense. Brother Zhong and I are just friends."
"This boy is very capable and good-looking. He traveled thousands of miles to see you and even cooked for you." Ran Sujuan stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, rolling her eyes and saying, "Such a good man.
, if you don’t want it, then give it to my sister.”
"I, I won't talk to you anymore." Ning Jielian stomped her feet lightly and turned away in shame, not daring to look at Zhong Wen again.
"Speaking of which, besides visiting Master Ning and my sister, I came to the Academy for another purpose." Zhong Wen looked at how late it was and finally revealed his intention, "I just hope to meet the saint."
"What are you doing with the saint?" Ran Sujuan also stopped being a little lazy when she saw that he had entered the topic.
"I have something to ask for." Zhong Wen did not elaborate.
"Then I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Seeing that he refused to talk, Ran Sujuan did not force it. "The saint has not received any foreigners for more than ten years."
"Is there any way?" Zhong Wen looked bitter, "This is such a serious matter, I have to find a way to see him no matter what."
"Let me ask for you." Ning Jie suddenly said, "Anyway, I have to listen to the saint's lectures every day."
"Xiaojie, the power of the saint is unpredictable. If you ask about personal matters, I'm afraid it will make him unhappy." Ran Sujuan said worriedly.
"I'm just asking, why is it worth it?" Ning Jie said indifferently, "But I can't guarantee whether it will succeed."
"Thank you, sister!" Zhong Wen's face straightened. He knew that things were not as easy as Ning Jie said, so he couldn't help but feel grateful and gave her a heavy salute.
"It doesn't matter." Ning Jie smiled brightly, as beautiful as a flower, "I can't accept your "Art of Reading Ancient Divine Texts" in vain."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the air was filled with warmth and charm.
Ran Sujuan felt the ambiguous atmosphere around her and sighed. Suddenly she felt very bright, very bright...
