Although Zhang Teng went to the Yunjing Martial Arts Academy to register, their new disciples have not officially started school.

After all, they come from all over the world, the road is far away, and some areas of Yunxia are in war, and accidents are frequent, which leads to some people not adapting to the water and soil, some people are delayed, some people have something to do, and so on.

In terms of the martial arts academy, the new disciples are given a seven-day adaptation period as much as possible, so that they can familiarize themselves with the environment as much as possible, report on time, finish their personal affairs, and concentrate on their studies.

On the morning of the second day when Zhang Teng came to Yunjing, he had just finished breakfast with Zining and the others, and a wide luxury carriage stopped outside the inn.

It was a very common carriage in Yunjing, a vermilion moire carriage, pulled by two sturdy scimitar-horned demon horses, comfortable and stable, and generally ridden by wealthy people with little wealth.

Of course, many of Yunjing's high-level magnates do not ride in this kind of carriage on weekdays.

Because they like to pay attention to pomp and circumstance, like Xuanyao, and show their uniqueness.

Therefore, these people either ride directly on exotic beasts and rare birds, or ride in the cars they pull, or ride on various rare puppet machines made by famous craftsmen and driven by spirit crystals, and even more directly use the servants above the Linghu realm as sedan chair drivers to carry them around.

The coachman was an old man in his fifties and sixties, and he walked into the inn, found Zhang Teng's room directly, and told Zhang Teng that he was sent by his master to take him to meet him.

Zhang Teng asked curiously, "Uncle, I don't know who your master is?"

The old man replied with a smile: "The old slave's surname is Mo, my young lady's surname is Nie, before leaving, she also instructed you to bring all your luggage, and the old slave will go to Nie's Mansion together, and she will arrange accommodation for you." That's right, here's the credentials. ”

He took out a blank envelope from his arms and handed it to Zhang Teng, who took it and opened it, and pulled out a piece of stationery from it.

There are only a few words on the letter: Now that you have arrived in Yunjing, come and see you soon. The signature is a "Nie" character. The handwriting is neat, beautiful and atmospheric, elegant and sharp, very familiar, and it is Nie Qingniang's handwritten letter.

Zhang Teng nodded and said, "Well, thank you, please wait a while, Uncle Mo, let's pack up our things." ”

So, he informed Zining and Huang Ying, and the three of them left the room, took their luggage and got into the carriage sent by Nie Qingniang.

Nie Qingniang's residence was far away, and the carriage walked for more than an hour to get there.

Zhang Teng and the three of them lifted the curtain, and what came into view of them was a rich and gorgeous mansion, on which was hung a plaque with a relief of "Nie Mansion", the vermilion gate was closed, and there was a majestic statue of a beast on both sides of the gate, and there were two burly and sturdy middle-aged sergeants guarding the door.

They were stubborn, expressionless, their eyes were cold, and they exuded a terrifying momentum all over their bodies, and they couldn't see that they were cultivators, at least they were masters above the Spirit Flow Realm.

As the carriage slowed down a little, Uncle Mo told Zhang Teng that the mansion in front of him was Nie Qingniang's residence.

However, the carriage did not stop in front of the vermilion gate, but went directly around the back door.

"Huh-" Uncle Mo stopped the carriage and turned back to Zhang Teng in the carriage, "Zhang Gongzi, we have arrived, please get off." ”

Seeing this scene, Zhang Teng couldn't help frowning slightly, Zi Ning and the others were also quite angry, and there was a little more anger on their pretty faces.

Yunxia is very similar to ancient China, and it is also quite particular about etiquette, and in terms of etiquette, there are many places where Yunxia and ancient China are almost the same.

Generally speaking, in ancient China, there were side doors next to the doors of slightly powerful people's homes, and the middle gate was the main gate in the middle.

In ancient times, the hierarchy was strict, and there were rules on who walked through what door, such as slaves and subordinates could only go through the back door, for example, concubines could only go through the side door, and when marrying a wife or welcoming VIPs, they must go through the middle door, as we usually say that the middle door is wide open to express solemnity and respect.

If a distinguished guest arrives and you only let him go through the side door, it is an insult.

Now Nie Qingniang invited him to come, but let him enter through the back door, obviously looking down on him, when he was a slave.

This is obviously not in accordance with etiquette and common sense.

Zhang Teng, as a guest, should be extremely angry when he is so humiliated.

In this situation, either politely ask the other party to open the door and invite them to enter the main door, or scold the owner and reprimand him for being rude, and then refuse the invitation and go straight away.

Of course, if he is more sensible, he can ask the other party tactfully, see what the other party's attitude is, whether he opens the main door, and finally decide whether to stay or go.

In addition to this, he also has a choice, that is, in order to please the other party, in order not to offend people, he chooses to follow the arrangement and enter through the back door.

In the carriage, Zhang Teng's expression was calm, and he took the initiative to reach out and pat Zining Huangying's shoulder to comfort the two and let them calm down.

So, the three of them got out of the carriage with their luggage.

At this time, someone had already opened the back door, it was a middle-aged woman in her thirties, who still had charm, she glanced at Zhang Teng and the others, her eyes were a little surprised, but she didn't say much, and left directly.

Zhang Teng looked at the open back door, thoughtful.

You must know that Mother-in-law Duoli attaches great importance to etiquette, and Nie Qingniang, who was brought up by her, naturally knows that it is very rude to do so.

However, knowing that it is rude, even humiliating, the other party still does this, there must be some reason.

Zhang Teng is familiar with Nie Qingniang, and naturally knows her very well, she has always been polite to others, even ordinary people, and she has never been rude.

Not to mention that he is Nie Qingniang, they have a real nameless student, and they are extremely close to the two, even if it is an ordinary guest, she shouldn't let Zhang Teng come in through the back door, this is really abnormal.

No matter what, Zhang Teng believed that Nie Qingniang had traveled thousands of miles to recommend martial arts orders to him, and she had bothered to arrange for Mo Bo to invite him, definitely not to humiliate him, but to have other grievances.

However, understanding is one thing, acceptance is another.

Zhang Teng is from modern China, and there is a clear saying in the West of China: life is precious, love is more expensive, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown.

Even if Nie Qingniang had life-saving kindness to him, he would not be willing to be a slave of his subordinates, driven by him, and be a cow and a horse.

So, Zhang Teng didn't enter the door, he came to the left side of the back door, turned back to Zi Ning and said, "You two come here, close to both sides of me, one on one side." ”

Zining and Huang Ying glanced at each other, they didn't know why, but they didn't ask much, according to what Zhang Teng said, they stepped forward and stood on both sides of him.

Zhang Teng suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged the slender waists of the two, and the two of them exclaimed, and the two pretty faces suddenly turned red.

"You guys get it, we're going in. ”

He smiled slightly, and as he spoke, he jumped straight over the high fence and into the courtyard.

Uncle Mo in the back has been standing at Zhang Teng's back door, silently observing his every move, seeing him over the wall, he couldn't help but smile, a pair of cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, full of anticipation.

Seeing Zhang Teng inside, he got back into the carriage and drove the carriage in another direction.

Zhang Teng landed gently, and the two of them did not have a trace of tremor and discomfort.

At this time, although the two of them said that they should praise their son-in-law or express their feelings, they both knew that Zhang Teng was quiet, he liked to do things and didn't like to talk about things, and he didn't usually like to listen to others' nagging or praise.

Therefore, the two of them, who had experienced a feeling of soaring clouds and fog, looked back at the wall behind them, and then looked at Zhang Teng, smiled in unison, and did not speak.

At this time, in front of the three of them stood the middle-aged woman who opened the door before, she glanced at Zhang Teng, and there was a smile on her extremely well-maintained white face.

The middle-aged woman didn't seem surprised, saluted Zhang Teng respectfully, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "The concubine has seen Zhang Gongzi and the two girls, and the young lady has been waiting for a long time, so please go with the concubine to see the young lady." ”

Seeing this scene, Zhang Teng was slightly surprised, the other party's attitude was so strange, it seemed that he had expected Zhang Teng to climb over the wall.

He let go of his hands around Zining Huang Ying's waist, clasped his fists and saluted the other party back, saying, "Well, then it's troublesome sister." ”

Hearing Zhang Teng call her "sister", the middle-aged woman's smile suddenly brightened, and the whole person seemed to be a lot younger.

She covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Childe is polite, no wonder Miss is obsessed, and she specially instructed the Luo Hu who sent the letter, please!"

The middle-aged woman said, leading the three of them inside.

Zhang Teng asked curiously while following up, "Luo Huzi, is my sister talking about Brother Luo Chengluo?"

"Exactly. ”

"Oh, I see. By the way, I don't know what to call my sister?"

The middle-aged woman turned around and smiled at Zhang Teng and said, "The concubine's surname is Chen, if the son doesn't dislike it, just call me Sister Chen." ”

"Well, then I'll call you Sister Chen in the future. Zhang Teng nodded and said, "By the way, Sister Chen, I want to ask, where is Mother-in-law Duoli now, and how is her physical condition?"

Speaking of Mother-in-law Doli, Sister Chen sighed softly and said:

"Mother-in-law Doli is on the side of the West Courtyard, her physical condition has not improved, and she has been in a coma with a fever some time ago. Now thanks to the diagnosis and treatment of doctors in the palace, his condition has been stabilized temporarily, but he has been groggy and has not been awake much. Every time she woke up, she either read Madame or Mademoiselle, and of course your name. At this moment, she ate some porridge and water, and just fell asleep, afraid that she would not wake up until the evening. ”

Zhang Teng listened to Mo Ran, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "After meeting Sister Nie, I want to see her." ”

Sister Chen nodded lightly and said, "Yes, the concubine also learned about her son from Mother-in-law Duoli." After my mother-in-law returned to Yunjing, she kept thinking about you, she said that when you came to Yunjing, she would definitely teach you all the ancient rites, and there would be no regrets at that time. ”
