The next morning, Yan Ning once again invited Lin Xu to Ruhai Academy to see if Mr. Huang Shi had returned.
Lin Xu felt that Yan Ning was a little too hasty. Xu Younian had already said that day that Mr. Huangshi would be back in as little as one or two days and as many as four or five days. So wouldn't it be wrong to go after four or five days?
More secure?
It's not an important matter, so why be in such a hurry?
However, since he had already agreed to this matter and saw that Yan Ning was so interested, let her go!
Anyway, Zhenghai Academy is not far away. The round trip on horseback only takes more than half an hour at most, even if it is just a walk.
Just like last time, Lin Xu, Yan Ning, Xia Dahai and Xiaoying went together.
As Lin Xu expected, when he arrived at Ruhai Academy and asked, Mr. Huang Shi hadn't come back yet.
"Sir, the weather is sunny and sunny today, and the autumn air is crisp. Such good weather is especially suitable for outings. Why don't we go to Jingyuan Temple? I heard that the abbot of Jingyuan Temple, the great monk Jue Yuan, is an eminent monk who has achieved Taoism.
With your heavenly eyes open, you can see a person's luck, misfortunes and blessings!"
Yan Ning's interest continued and he was ready to change places to play.
"With your eyes open, can you tell a person's luck and fortune? Is it true?"
Lin Xu has always been skeptical about such mysterious and mysterious things.
"I also heard it from others. As for whether it is true or not, we will find out after we go there and take a look!"
"this......"
Lin Xu hesitated for a moment and said apologetically: "As you know, the price war between us and the Song family has reached a fever pitch, so I have to go back to the store to work, and I can't stay outside for too long."
In fact, what he said was just an excuse to refuse. The price war between them and the Song family had indeed reached a fever pitch. However, he had already arranged everything that should be done, and there was no need for him to go into battle personally.
Even if you just go to Jingyuan Temple, you won't miss anything.
However, firstly, he was not very interested in this kind of occult matters. Secondly, although he temporarily took Yan Ning under his command, deep down in his heart, he still did not want to get too close to this young lady of unknown origin.
So I deliberately shied away from it.
"Oh well......"
Yan Ning couldn't help but feel sad after being rejected by Lin Xu, but Lin Xu's reason was indeed blameless, and she couldn't say anything else.
The group of people returned the same way.
When passing by a tree-lined avenue, they saw a dark-faced man wearing a linen shirt taking a rest. There were several baskets of peaches on the cart next to them, which looked quite fresh.
However, Lin Xu frowned slightly.
When they came over just now, they had not seen the peach vendor yet. Logically speaking, this person should have come from behind.
However, this road leads directly to Ruhai Academy. It is surrounded by fields and not even a decent village. Is this person trying to take the peach to Ruhai Academy to sell it?
In addition, this black-faced man is dressed just like an ordinary farmer, but his face is not as simple as a farmer is accustomed to, but looks quite capable!
In fact, these are details that most people don't care about, but perhaps because they are in a price war with the Song family, and the Song family is despicable and prone to using dirty tricks, Lin Xu is a little more careful.
"Gentlemen, these are freshly picked peaches. They are very fresh and very sweet. If they are not delicious, there is no charge! Do you want some?"
The black-faced man said to Lin Xu and the others with a smile.
"Sir, these peaches look really good! Should we buy some and take them back for everyone to try?"
Yan Ning herself doesn't like eating peaches very much, but she just feels fresh in everything she sees.
"Haha, then buy some!"
Although he didn't want to deal with this hawker, he had just rejected Yan Ning once, and this time he was really embarrassed to say no.
Several people got off their horses and gathered around the cart. This chapter has been completed!
