Li Didiuu pushed open the courtyard door and came in, and at a glance he saw that the master was stepping on a small stool to clean the window, wiping it so carefully that even the corner of the window lattice was cleaned with a small wooden stick and a cloth.

"Master."

Li Didiu came in with such a big backpack, and the long-eyebrow Taoist glanced back, and the corners of his eyebrows were rising.

"Buying so many things and spending money indiscriminately."

"Not all of them were bought, but there were also New Year's goods sent by the shopkeeper Sun of Yunzhai Teahouse."

Changmei smiled and nodded: "Did you say thank you to others?" ”

Li Diudiu said: "Master, how old I am, I don't know how to say thank you." ”

Master smiled and said, "I just asked casually...... Since everyone has given New Year's goods, what else do you buy, can you return it? ”

Li Diudiu: "......"

The long-eyebrow Daoist looks very good, much better than yesterday, much better than when he was just out of the front county, and he was still humming a little song when he cleaned the window.

Li Diudiu heard it when he just entered the door, he hadn't heard this little song before, most of the songs he sang in Yunzhai Teahouse were originally taught by the master, and some of them were taught by Mr. Yan, and the rest were the tunes of the words that Li Diudiu thought of himself.

I had never heard Master hum this little tune, and it was not a folk tune, let alone an opera from all over the world, so Li Diudiu immediately thought that this little song was learned by Master from somewhere.

He laughed and said, "Say, what a beautiful sound this is!" ”

Master's face turned red all of a sudden, and he glanced at Li Diu and said, "Understand a fart, this is a fishing song sung by the people by the river." ”

Li Diudiu asked: "If I ask you what Jiang, do you dare to answer?" ”

Master's face turned even redder, and the old face looked a little younger because of this redness, and he looked at Li Diudiu and said as if he was stubbornly resisting: "Why don't you dare?" Isn't the Spring River a river? ”

Li Diudiu said: "Yes, yes, what Master said is right." ”

He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to work together, but the master hurriedly stopped him.

The master looked at Li Diudiu and said, "You are a scholar now, how can a scholar do rough work?" ”

Li Diudiu said: "What's the matter, are you saying I'm not rough enough?" ”

Changmei Daoren: "Where did you learn the words of the tiger and wolf!" ”

Li Diudiu said: "Then Master, what kind of tiger and wolf words did you just say about the Spring River Flower and Moon Night. ”

The master glared at him and said, "Go back to the house and rest, if you don't want to rest, just read a book for a while, if you can't read it, you will sleep, and if you have annual leave, it is the right thing to rest, you don't need to interfere in this kind of thing." ”

Li Diudiu snorted: "The old man is becoming more and more disobedient now. ”

He found a rag and followed the master to clean the window, and the master asked him to go back to the house one by one, and said cold for a while and said that scholars can't do these things, until Li Diudiu said that you talked nonsense again and pulled out your beard, and the old man smiled and shut up.

"I bought back meat, eggs, and vegetables, and I also bought rice and flour oil."

Li Diudian said while working: "But there is still half a month before the New Year, it is estimated that I will not be able to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will buy some again before the New Year, we have not spent the New Year extravagantly and wastefully, we have to do a lot of things, we have to spend money, we have to be extravagant." ”

The long-eyebrow Taoist reversed the normalcy of the buckle and said loudly: "Yes, this year has to be good, and it has to be extravagant and wasteful!" ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and Li Diu said that there were not many people who knew that he and his master lived here, could it be that Xiahou Zhuo was here?

He jumped down from the stool, trotted all the way to the courtyard gate, and asked, "Who?" ”

The person outside the door seemed to reply with a slight twist.

"Me."

"Mr. Yan?"

Li Diudian was stunned, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door, and then he was even more confused...... Mr. Yan outside the door actually came with a wheelbarrow with rice, flour, oil, meat, quilts, and bookcases......

This stunned Li Diudian for a moment.

"Sir, this is?"

Li Didiu asked.

"That...... It's nothing, it's just ......."

Mr. Yan felt that he might be a little ungenerous like this, so he stood up straight and said: "Every year the Chinese New Year is spent alone in the academy, this year I think that you and your master have just arrived in Jizhou for the first year, and I, as your teacher, should come over to help." ”

Li Diudiu laughed: "Rub the rice and say it directly." ”

Mr. Yan's face flushed slightly.

Li Didiu hurriedly took the wheelbarrow, pushed the cart into the courtyard and moved things such as quilts and pillows to the house, this yard is not small, there are five main rooms, and there are three side rooms on the left and right, not to mention adding one person to live, even if there are ten or eight more people who can live.

"I'm cleaning, I'm here to help."

Mr. Yan rolled up his sleeves and was about to work, how could the old Taoist let the guests work, and after splashing all the water in the bucket, he said: "It's done, Mr. Yan come into the house quickly, and I'll make you tea." ”

Yan Qingzhi was a little embarrassed, but he didn't know what was wrong, he was used to living alone in the past, and the Chinese New Year was no different from usual, except for occasionally going to Dean Gao's house for a meal, he was alone the rest of the time, and he liked to be alone.

On such a winter day, he likes to sit alone on the recliner by the window and read a book, and when he is tired of reading, he will sleep on the recliner for a while.

However, these days are not boring, and I always feel that I have made the New Year very boring.

I happened to know that Li Qi had returned, so I simply found a wheelbarrow from the academy and came out with my things.

"I'm mostly ......"

Mr. Yan said to Changmei Daoren seriously: "Didn't you tell Li Qi before that you want to hold a cram school together?" This New Year's day is also idle, and I can just study with Li Qi how to make up for the class. ”

"Yes, yes, sir."

The long-eyebrow Taoist invited Yan Qingzhi to the house, and turned around to move the things that Yan Qingzhi brought, Li Diudiu came out of the next room with a smile and said to Yan Qingzhi: "Sir, the bed has been made, can you take a look?" ”

Yan Qingzhi hurriedly said: "It's all right, don't be so polite, I was embarrassed to come over rashly......"

Li Diudiu said very seriously: "Sir, this is your fault, this is your shortcomings, you have to study modestly, do you see that I am embarrassed when I go to your house to eat and live...... In my eyes, Mr. is not only a gentleman, but also an elder, and a good friend. ”

Yan Qingzhi was happy because of this mentor and friend.

"It just so happens that I want to go to the academy tomorrow morning to ask Mr. for advice."

Li Didiu ran back to the house, took out a booklet, and said as he walked: "This is one of the books left by Mr. Li, and there are some things I can't figure out. ”

Yan Qingzhi said: "Sit down and watch together." ”

The two of them sat facing each other, talking while reading a book, the Changmei Taoist came in with hot tea, and was stunned when he saw this scene, when he was walking the rivers and lakes outside, he never thought that one day he would see such a scene, at this moment, I don't know why the nose of the Changmei Taoist was sour, and some wanted to cry.

I also feel like I have a lot of lost cows.

The two of them discussed and sank into it, and before they knew it, two hours had passed, and the long-eyebrow Daoist had not been able to bear to disturb, but seeing that the sky had darkened, it was time to prepare dinner.

Thinking that although there are rice, flour, oil, meat and vegetables at home, Mr. Yan is here, it is more grand to go out to eat.

So he came over lightly, lest he scare the two of them, and then asked very carefully: "Can we go out to eat?" Mr. Yan hurriedly got up and said, "No, no, don't you have everything at home?" Let's cook together, I still want to eat some home-cooked meals. ”

He looked at Li Diudiu: "Otherwise, let's make dumplings and eat." ”

Li Didiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay! ”

Two moments later, Mr. Yan looked at the basin in front of him and felt that he had taken care of the noodles in a hasty manner.

"This should be an academic question......

Yan Qingzhi smiled wryly and said: "There is more water to put the noodles, and there is more water to put the noodles, when will it be the end?" ”

Li Didiuu had already chopped the meat filling, and when he looked back, the noodles were about to come out of the basin, like a big white mushroom, and he felt that it would be rude for him to laugh at this time, but ......

Fortunately, the Changmei Taoist is still more experienced among the three, and the noodles are reconciled, and the three of them sit around the small table to make dumplings, talking and laughing quickly, and the dumplings for about eight people are wrapped in a short time.

Yan Qingzhi suddenly felt that he was fortunate to have more noodles, and he had forgotten the amount of food Li Diudian had just now......

Boil the water in the pot, put the dumplings in, and watching the heat rise, the three of them have some uncontrollable pride.

However, when the dumplings came out of the pot, the three of them were dumbfounded.

"It stands to reason that this shouldn't be called dumplings."

Mr. Yan said: "It may be called a piece of soup." ”

Li Diudiu said: "I think it should be called meat porridge......

Changmei Daoist waved his hand: "Whatever, a piece of soup and porridge, it's delicious." ”

Half a moment later, the three of them had already changed their clothes and were on their way to the restaurant.

At the same time, in the restaurant not far away, Tian Zhanyuan, the fifth master of Yanshan Ying, was sitting there eating while listening to his subordinates talk about the news that came in.

He picked up vegetables for his wife sitting next to him, looked sideways, there was a grain of rice on the corner of his wife's mouth, and quickly took a clean handkerchief, reached out to wipe his wife, and his wife subconsciously dodged.

His eyes changed, and his wife immediately leaned back and bowed her head and said thank you.

Tian Zhanyuan looked at his subordinates, and his face became unkind again.

"For half a day, you didn't find any news, these little things can't be done well, what's the use of me keeping you? Did I tell you that those people were not from the Zuo Wuwei camp, they were from the Jizhou army, and they were either from Zeng Ling, the envoy of Jiedu, or from Prince Yu. ”

He frowned and said, "What's so hard about this? ”

The men stood there, one by one afraid to speak.

There was only him and his wife eating this large table full of dishes, and the rest of them all stood aside with their heads bowed.

"Get out of here."

Tian Zhanyuan said: "Don't disturb me to eat, you are allowed to indulge tonight, but you can go to the Qinglou, not the casino, and you are not allowed to make trouble in the Qinglou, whoever spoils my business, I will want someone's head." ”

"Yes!"

A group of people hurriedly responded, and their faces were full of joy.

"Get out."

Tian Zhanyuan waved his hand.

Those people immediately turned around and walked out of the private room, and walked down the stairs hula hula, one by one, as if they were eager to take off, they went downstairs, and Li Diu lost the three of them upstairs.

There are many people going downstairs, Li Diudiu and the three of them are waiting at the staircase, those people are fierce people, and the eyes of people are naturally different from ordinary people, they all stared at Li Diudiu when they went downstairs, obviously they had made way for them, but it seemed that they had offended them.

Changmei pulled behind Li Diudiu's back, signaling not to cause trouble, just hide.

Li Diudiu nodded to indicate that he knew, but at this moment, the bearded man who was the last to go downstairs deliberately stepped on Li Diudiu's feet, and exerted force, and the soles of his feet were crushed back and forth twice.
