In the evening, Cai Yong wore a Confucian robe, holding a shovel in his hand to take care of the flowers and plants in the flower garden in the backyard, and Ma Yue followed behind with a bucket and a clay pot and nodded his head.

"Hey, hey, hey." Ma Yue looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and every time Cai Yong turned around, he smirked twice, and finally, Cai Yong became impatient.

"San Lang, forget about your alcohol, you don't listen to you if you want to rest, you have to follow the old man, just follow it, why do you keep smirking?" Cai Yong's angry beard flew up, threw the shovel into the bucket, patted the dirt on his hand and asked, "Before that thing is done, don't want the old man to marry Yan'er to you!" ”

"Hehe, sir, don't worry, it's not like I don't know how to say it, it's not Yan'er's business." Ma Yue stood with low eyebrows, he was really not good at talking about Gan Ning's apprenticeship, he peeked at it, and saw that Cai Yong's expression eased slightly, Ma Yue said: "The kid wants to ask you to accept another apprentice." ”

After that, Ma Yue hurriedly bent down to brush the dirt on the hem of Cai Yong's robe, and when he raised his head, he saw Cai Yong looking at him with a smile and a smile.

"Feelings, are you begging the old man to accept apprentices? Just this matter, you can bring someone another day to teach the old man to see if you are here. Cai Yong didn't think it was a big deal at all, except for Cai Yan, as long as Ma Yue said anything in Cai Yong's opinion, it was negotiable, Cai Yong took out a small shovel from the bucket again, and drove to Ma Yue and said: "Go and go, you go to Yuan Si or Yan'er to play, what's the matter with following the old man, don't disturb the old man, the weeds in this flower garden have grown so tall." ”

"Don't, don't." Ma Yue hurriedly stopped Cai Yong and said, "Sir, you still don't know who I want to recommend." ”

Cai Yonghu glanced at Ma Yue suspiciously, and said with a smile: "Who else can you recommend, maybe it's the young talent I met in Wu County in the past two days." ”

"Sir, the friend I want to recommend is named Gan Ning."

"What!" Hearing this name, Cai Yong's smile froze on his face, and the shovel was thrown to the ground, "Presumptuous, San Lang, what are you doing here as an old man?" No matter how low the threshold for accepting apprentices is, it can't tolerate such murderous bandits! ”

After that, Cai Yong brushed his sleeves and left.

"Sir, wait, wait." Ma Yue hurriedly put down the bucket, and ran to Cai Yong without caring about the decency and said, "Sir, don't worry, listen to my explanation!" ”

Ma Yue guessed that Cai Yong's reaction would be very big, but he didn't expect Cai Yong's reaction to be so big, only to see Cai Yong's well-defined white beard in front of him trembling, and his flushed face was so black and purple that the ink print on his face was black and purple.

Ma Yue stretched out his palm to face the pavilion and said to Cai Yong: "Sir, don't worry, let's go over and sit and talk slowly, it doesn't matter if you don't accept him, don't be angry with your body, if you are angry, it is a big sin for San Lang." ”

Although Ma Yue said this, Cai Yong still felt that it was a great insult for Ma Yue to propose such a thing that damaged his reputation, and followed Ma Yue into the pavilion with a cold look on his face.

"Sir, do you know that I have great guilt for Yan Hu in my heart, he sincerely intersected with me, but Yan Yu died at my hands, but why can't I interrupt my mind and want to kill Yan Dalang to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, have you ever thought about it?" Ma Yue first bowed to Cai Yong, and then said: "Yes, maybe you think that Ma Sanlang has done murder and revenge, and the light chivalrous character of pleasure and revenge has not changed, but you should also know that I am not the kind of person who is extremely vicious, why do I kill a Yan Erlang and bite a Yan Dalang?" ”

"My Ma Yue does have the temperament of revenge, but if you don't bite off a piece of meat from me, it won't be revenge, and I can still be afraid of him if I run back to Luoyang?" Ma Yue saw that Cai Yong's expression was no longer so cold, and then said: "You also said that I am not the right virtuous son-in-law in your mind, but even if I, Ma Sanlang, did not do your Cai's son-in-law's life, can I not worry about Yan'er and your safety?" It's easy for me to go back to Luoyang, but if I leave, if Yan Hu takes revenge, who will he find? Whether he will set his sights on you, Yan'er or even Yuan Si, none of us knows. But I know in your hearts that if Yan Hu is ruthless, no one in this huge Gu Mansion will be able to stop it. ”

When asked about Cai Yong, the old man could only nod. In the final analysis, scholars and scholars like the Gu family and Cai Yong rely on prestige, if they fight with swords, where will they be the opponents of the ruffians and hooligans?

"You also know about Ying'er, because I let go of an enemy because of a moment of soft-heartedness, but after a few years, it was Ying'er and her brother who paid the price on my behalf. I won't ever experience that second time in my life. If I'm going to stop the enemy from taking revenge, I'm going to cut down the roots, no matter what I do. If I don't kill Yan Hu, I can spare hundreds of lives of the guests in his house, so I don't have to feel so guilty. But you must know that this is not such a simple matter of forgiveness and guilt, if he may hurt you and Yan'er, I don't remember to forgive, and no matter what guilt, I will not hesitate to kill everyone in Wucheng. ”

"The old man doesn't care about you!" Cai Yong stiffened his neck, and the old man could show his stubbornness from his hair to beard: "You can rest assured and boldly go back to Luoyang, if Yan Hu finds the old man's head, then the old man and Yan'er should be like this, don't blame you!" ”

"I knew you'd say that." Ma Yue glanced at Cai Yong helplessly and shrugged his shoulders, "After saying this, I'll tell you about Gan Ning, more than ten days ago in Taihu Lake, I saw Gan Ning for the first time, he said that he was looking for a teacher who was willing to accept him, he went to many places, and no one was willing to accept him." ”

"Now that he came to Wu County and found me, I asked him if he wanted to rely on your fame to become a famous disciple, or if he really wanted to learn something and familiarize himself with Zhuzi. He felt that I was insulting him, and I asked him if there was only one futon, and going out could not be said to be your disciple if he was willing, he was willing. ”

Cai Yong didn't have any expression on his face, he had heard too much news about Jiang Ling'er, although it had been a lot less in the past two years, he just felt that Gan Ning had gone elsewhere to do evil, and he didn't have a good face for such a bandit.

"Gan Ning has courage, but the student is definitely not telling you this to find you a guard, there are more masters of martial arts, but the student has more important ideas for recommending him to you."

"Sir, please forgive Saburo for being rude in advance, you know, if there was no teacher and the teachings of many fathers, there would be no Ma Yue today, maybe I am more lucky now that I have a few hundred soldiers and horses in Liangzhou and my brothers to be bandits, and I may not know how to bury them there." Ma Yue licked his dry lips, "Sir, the student thinks that Gan Xingba was indeed evil in the past and did a lot of killing. But now he has the heart to learn, and in the past two years, he has gone to various places to find famous teachers, he can do good, I think...... If a famous teacher like you were to teach him, maybe he would be able to correct his mind, and maybe he would become a completely new person. He didn't know anything when he was young, and now that he has grown up and wants to learn something, why can't you give him a second chance? ”

Cai Yong was moved by Ma Yue, he had tried to teach too many naturally intelligent and pure students, but he had never taught an evil disciple like Gan Ning to be good.

Moving his lips, Cai Yong didn't agree, just got up and pointed to the futon sitting down and dropped a sentence.

"You move this under the tree in the front hall, the old man is not afraid of multiple students listening to the class."
