Just as Zhao Ting put down the books in his hand and was about to lie down on the rocking chair to rest for a while, Zhao Si hurriedly walked in from under the gray and white stone wall that turned outside the courtyard, and seemed to have a letter in his hand.

"Master, the eldest young master of the Jiang family has sent a letter," Zhao Si walked quickly to the edge of the rocking chair, bowed down and handed the envelope inlaid with gold in his hand to Zhao Ting.

"Oh?" As soon as he heard this, Zhao Ting suddenly became interested, and he didn't feel sleepy, "Did he send a letter?" It seems that the "snow grass" I want has fallen!"

Zhao Si smiled and said, "The villain guesses too." ”

Zhao Ting sat up, quickly opened the envelope, and took out the paper inside to look at it.

......

After a while, he withdrew his gaze from the letter, looked at Zhao Si, and said softly: "Sure enough, there is news from the "Snow Grass......"

"Then the villain congratulates the ......"

"Don't be in a hurry to congratulate you first," Zhao Ting waved his hand and explained: "The news is there, but the "Snow Grass" is still out of reach!"

Jiang Ruhai said in the letter that under the rule of Yanzhou, Nanzhan County, under the jurisdiction of Hengling County, some people said that they had seen traces of "snow grass" on the northern slope of Nanzhan Daxue Mountain. ”

After a pause, Zhao Ting continued: "Jiang Ruhai also said that this Nanzhan Snow Mountain is about two thousand five hundred zhang high, and it is the highest and steepest peak in the three continents in the south of the Dawu Dynasty, and the mountain on the northern slope is even steeper than the southern slope, so even if he promises a lot of money, no one dares to promise him to go to the northern slope of the Nanzhan Snow Mountain to find and pick the "snow grass". ”

"Then ...... of us?" Zhao Si frowned and asked softly,

After all, as Zhao Ting's personal subordinate, he knew how important the "Snow Grass" was to the "Killing Crystal Transplant" operation, and he also knew how eager Zhao Ting was to find the "Snow Grass" again.

Now that he knows the traces of the "Snow Grass", Zhao Ting will definitely not give up.

Sure enough, Zhao Ting thought about it carefully and said in a deep voice: "Since those mortals don't dare to go, then we will go on a trip in person." Snow grass, I'm going to have to find it!"

"Yes. ”

......

......

After a rough plan, the master and servant set a date and route from Qingzhou to Yanzhou.

Departing at the beginning of next month, take the dry road along the official road first, and then turn to the waterway.

After all this was settled, two days passed in a blink of an eye.

The inner courtyard of the Zhao Mansion.

Den.

When the old housekeeper guarding the door saw Zhao Ting walking up from outside the courtyard, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he turned to the inside of the study and said, "The young master is here." ”

Zhao Ting strode over, smiled at the old butler, nodded, and then walked into the study.

In the inner room of the study, Zhao Ziqi, the master of the Zhao Mansion, was wearing a black brocade robe woven of cloud brocade, with his back to the door.

He was holding a purple and gold wolf brush in his hand, staring intently at the calligraphy spread out on the desk, copying it carefully stroke by stroke.

Seeing that he was focused and very serious in writing, Zhao Ting did not bother him, but stood quietly behind him and waited.

Long.

Zhao Ziqi finally made the last stroke and began to carefully look at his works.

......

"Papapa~"

Seeing that Zhao Ziqi still didn't notice him, Zhao Ting couldn't help it, so he had to applaud and praise at the same time, trying to attract Zhao Ziqi's attention.

"Father, this copy of your painting is simply ...... It's amazing!

Well, I wanted to say a few idioms about calligraphy to praise Zhao Ziqi, but obviously, the accumulation of Zhao Ting's idioms did not support him to do so, and he thought hard for a long time and couldn't come up with any good idioms, so he had to use the word "god" to simply and rudely express his appreciation of Zhao Ziqi's copying calligraphy.

Hearing Zhao Ting's voice, Zhao Ziqi turned around, got out of the way, and asked with a smile: "Ting'er, do you also think it's good to copy for your father?"

When he turned to the side, Zhao Ting could see the calligraphy work he had just completed completely.

Font...... Crooked, mostly floating on the surface, loose and weak, even if you let a person who doesn't know calligraphy at all, you will think, what is this writing?

Therefore, Zhao Ting was stunned.

He wanted to say, Dad, give up, you don't have a talent for calligraphy.

But looking at the expression on Zhao Ziqi's face that was extremely eager to praise him, Zhao Ting still opened his lips and spit out two words against his will: "Yes, it's very good." ”

"Hahaha...... Zhao Ziqi raised his head and laughed a few times, crumpled his work casually, and threw it into the paper basket on the side, "Sit down, I asked you to come over because I have something to tell you." ”

Zhao Ting nodded and sat down on the mahogany chair in front of the desk.

"Have you been studying poetry books lately?" Zhao Ziqi took a sip of the hot tea on the table and asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Ting replied respectfully: "The child has been studying and has never slackened in the slightest. ”

"Well," Zhao Ziqi nodded with satisfaction, "Since you are so studious, then, Dad can't delay you." ”

"Although it is possible to learn by yourself, it is always too difficult and slow. The sage once said, "Teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts!" In this way, it is very important to have a good master on the way to study. ”

After a pause, he looked up at Zhao Ting and said, "So, Dad wants you to go to school with Junwei from your uncle's family." Dad heard that two months later is the day when Jiangzhou Datong Academy will open to study, and at that time, Datong Academy will open the mountain gate widely, and there will be no class of teaching, and students from all over the world will be admitted to the hospital. ”

"Hmm...... Dad and your uncle have already sent someone to take care of it, and it won't be a problem to let you and Junwei be admitted to the hospital together. ”

"Uh," Zhao Ting was a little stunned for a moment about Zhao Ziqi's sudden idea of letting him go to Jiangzhou to study, "Dad, will Jiangzhou be too far away? ”

Zhao Ziqi waved his hand and said, "Your mother and I are not yet in the age of confusion, our bodies are tough, and it is not yet time for you to fulfill your filial piety." Besides, a good man has ambitions in all directions, although Jiangzhou is far away, but you can still use letters to communicate, you don't have to let us go so much. It's studying, but it's a major event in your life, and it's an opportunity for you to turn into a dragon. ”

"I think that when your father and I were studying, if I could have been more attentive and enlightened, I would not have become a "businessman" ...... today."

Saying that, he sighed, shook his head and said: "Dad has taken the wrong road, and he is never willing to let you go again, and Dad doesn't want to see you trapped in this small Yanxia County all your life, and finally become a person like Dad." ”

"You are diligent, smart and studious, and you will definitely be able to achieve something in the way of reading......"

Seeing Zhao Ziqi's bitter persuasion, Zhao Ting also fell silent.

After a moment, he opened his mouth to make a final struggle: "Then my mother...... Will she be reluctant to give up on me?"

Zhao Ziqi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and replied without thinking: "How could it be? ”

“......”
