.................
Xiao Diyuan went to say goodbye to Xiao Hong and Liu after finishing the morning court in the morning.
He made an appointment with his mysterious teacher, Jingwu, to meet him in Yicheng, and he had asked Xiao Hong three days before about it, and Xiao Hong agreed.
In the past few years, Jingwu has asked to teach Xiao Diyuan in cities or towns outside the capital. At first, Xiao Hong was very puzzled and felt that Jingwu's request was too much, but after thinking about it carefully, it was clear that there was no one other than Jingwu who could be Xiao Diyuan's teacher, so he had to agree to Jingwu's request.
When Xiao Di was still young, Jingwu personally came to the palace to teach him, and after teaching for a few years, he asked Xiao Diyuan to go outside the palace to listen to his lectures, and then transferred to outside the capital.
Xiao Hong couldn't help but think - in a few years, would he ask Xiao Diyuan to go abroad to listen to his class?
It was hard for him to guess what was going on in Shizugo's mind, but with his limited knowledge of Shizugo, he thought it was really possible that Shizugo would do it one day.
This person, who has never shown his true face in front of him and Xiao Diyuan, is indeed worthy of the name of 'mysterious teacher'.
As for why he refused to show his true face, Shizugo explained on the first day of meeting them - it was because his face had been burned by a fire, and in order not to frighten others, he had been wearing a low-brimmed hat to hide his face.
Because he did have a few burn marks on his good neck and neck, they all believed it. Because they believed it, they didn't force Shizugo to show his true face in all these years, after all, they also knew very well - as long as Shizugo was unwilling, there must be enough reasons and ways to prevent them from seeing his face. In that case, it is better not to dwell on such details, besides, he is already an old man in his seventies, and it doesn't matter to them what he looks like.
It takes three days and three nights to walk on horseback from the capital to Yicheng.
Xiao Diyuan was accompanied by his personal father-in-law Ding Cong and two retinues with strong martial arts. Xiao Diyuan was dressed as a scholar, and he looked much more intimate than when he was in the palace.
A sixteen-year-old boy is between innocence and semi-maturity, and there is a kind of beauty in his body that makes people yearn for it. Ding Cong and the two entourages looked at Xiao Diyuan, who was galloping in front of them and wearing fluttering robes, although they were also men, they were inevitably a little inexplicably moved.
Such a person with peerless elegance and superb talent, I don't know how tasteful he will be when he grows up.
They couldn't help but sigh - if any woman gets his love, it must make many people envious and jealous.
On the day they arrived in Yicheng, it rained in the sky, but in order to arrive as promised, they did not take shelter from the rain, but no one bought a bamboo leaf hat with a wide rim and continued to move on, and finally arrived at the appointed place at the appointed time.
It is a small inn built in the middle of the mountains, and there are no facilities around it except for almost no farmhouse, so they feel very relaxed.
Shizugo was already waiting in a private room in the inn, with only a young scholar beside him. Sandalwood burns on the incense burner on the tabletop, and the fragrance of it wafts all over the room, making people feel inexplicably quiet when they smell it.
Xiao Diyuan came in, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt down towards Jingwu and said, "The student has seen the teacher." ”
Shizugo was still wearing the low-brimmed hat, but this time it was wearing a dark purple robe, which was a little warmer than his usual black and white robes.
"Here you are, get up and sit down. Shizugo said loudly.
He was happy in his voice.
However, in Xiao Diyuan's impression, he didn't seem to be worried. It is no wonder that people like him, who have experienced ups and downs, traveled to so many places, seen so many people, and are higher than ordinary people, will no longer be swayed by sorrow and joy.
Xiao Diyuan got up, sat down on the chair about three feet away from Jingwu opposite Jingwu, and said, "Counting, we haven't seen each other for nearly a year. ”
Originally, the two made an appointment to meet once a quarter, but this year, due to Jingwu's ill health in the first half of the year, the lecture time was postponed again and again, but this time Jingwu will make up for all the courses that have been missed in these quarters, so Xiao Diyuan will stay here for nearly a month this time.
"Yes, Third Highness. Jingwu smiled and said, "The Third Highness has grown much taller and stronger than last year. ”
Xiao Diyuan was very surprised-since he was wearing such a low-brimmed hat and did not raise his head very high, how could he see that Xiao Diyuan had grown taller and stronger?
"Yes. Xiao Diyuan smiled and nodded.
After all, now is the time for him to grow his body, and the natural changes in his body will be more obvious.
Then Xiao Diyuan asked, "Is the teacher's health better?"
"Well, it's all right. ”
"What was the disease before?" Xiao Diyuan asked again.
He knew a lot of famous doctors, and maybe some of them could be helpful to Shizugo.
"It's just some geriatric syndrome, it's not a big deal. Shizugo replied.
"Have you invited a doctor to come and see you?"
"Yes. ”
Xiao Diyuan was relieved, and Ding Cong came in with a gift.
He carefully prepared several gifts for Shizugo.
