Wang Hu was speechless when asked by Zhang Shumo, and after a long time, he stumbled and asked, "Then why do you want my father to fight a dagger?" ”

Zhang Shumo suddenly put away his smile: "I want you to understand that your father will not hesitate to let you study, even if he breaks the law!" And you? Just for his own vanity, but he will do whatever it takes to force your father to fight a knife, if my father had broken your leg earlier, he would have let you study!? ”

Wang Hu was frightened by Zhang Shumo's momentum, and was stunned in place at a loss. Zhang Shumo sighed: "Okay, your first class is to think about it, think about whether your vanity is important, or your father is important!" ”

Zhang Shumo returned to the house after speaking, leaving Wang Hu alone to face the wall and think. Lou Zaiying glanced at Wang Hu who was alone in the courtyard, and couldn't help but ask Zhang Shumo: "He is an eight-year-old child, can he understand if you tell him this?" You might as well teach her to read and write. ”

Zhang Shumo sighed: "It's his business whether he can understand or not, but I have to explain it to him." I also wanted to save some trouble and teach him to read directly, but I just remembered that we were in a hurry and didn't bring any books. ”

When Lou Zaiying heard this, she pushed Zhang Shumo away: "You didn't bring a book to let a child think about it in the yard?" Why did you call him over without a book? Can't you start again tomorrow? After speaking, Lou Zaiying walked towards Wang Hu and led him back to the blacksmith shop.

Zhang Shumo covered the place where he was pushed and rubbed it while talking to himself: "I just can't get used to his behavior of lying to his father, pull him over to be reasonable, do you need to make a fuss?" ”

After speaking, Zhang Shumo couldn't help but think of Zhang Lu, why is someone else's father so good?

Early the next morning, Hu Kun sent Zhang Shumo and Lou Zaiying out, and just happened to bump into the blacksmith Wang Tu. As soon as Wang Tu saw Zhang Shumo, he greeted him: "I was scared to death last night, I thought that Huzi was returned by you on the first day." ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "It's all my fault, I forgot to bring the book, I will go to the street to buy it today." ”

Wang Tu hurriedly lowered his head: "Let Mr. break the bank." By the way, this is half a catty of pork, which I went to the butcher's house to cut this morning. Don't shirk, we don't have any money, so let's talk about the apprenticeship. ”

Zhang Shumo did not shirk, let Hu Kun accept the gift and went to the General's Mansion with Lou Zaiying.

When they arrived at the General's Mansion, the two performed their respective duties. Since today is the day when Zhang Lu leaves, there is nothing to do in the Cao Courtyard, and everyone rests and chats.

Zhang Shumo took the opportunity to ask Qin Sheng where there was a bookstore in Xu Liangcheng, Qin Sheng quietly told Zhang Shumo an address, and told him that as long as Chen Lin's name was mentioned, there would be a discount.

Without waiting for Zhang Shumo to ask what was going on, the housekeeper of the General's Mansion found him and said that the general had something to do with him. Zhang Shumo hurriedly followed the housekeeper and left, and as soon as Zhang Shumo left, everyone in the Cao Yuan discussed why General Su attached great importance to Zhang Shumo.

followed the housekeeper Zhang Shumo to the general's study, and the housekeeper motioned for Zhang Shumo to go in, but he left.

Pushing the door in, Zhang Shumo found that in addition to Su Han, Zhang Lu was also present. Su Han saw Zhang Shumo come in and smiled at him: "Okay, since Shumo is here, I won't disturb your father and son here, you talk slowly, no one will come to disturb you!" After saying that, Su Han left the study.

Zhang Shumo didn't expect that Su Han actually knew his relationship with Zhang Lu for a long time, and it seemed that his relationship with Zhang Lu was also extraordinary.

The two were silent for a long time, and Zhang Lu took the lead in speaking: "I'm leaving today, I want to see you for the last time before leaving!" ”

"Is there anything else you want to explain? You've said enough that day. Zhang Shumo said faintly.

Zhang Lu smiled: "I don't have anything to say, I just want to meet you." Farewell today, I'm worried that we will never see each other again in this life. ”

After speaking, the two fell silent again, and after a while, Zhang Shumo suddenly asked, "Why did you ask Su Han to bring Lou Zaiying and me to the General's Mansion?" Is it just to see me? ”

Zhang Lu nodded: "It means this, and at the same time, it is also to find a backer for you, with the support of the Northwest Army, no one should dare to touch you in the future." ”

"Can't you be our backer? Why let the Northwest Army be our backer? Is it to dissociate yourself from me? ”

"I didn't mean that, there are some things I can't tell you yet, but you'll understand in the future!" Speaking of this, Zhang Lu sighed helplessly: "Alas, you go back, you can live a good life in the future!" ”

Zhang Shumo was a little baffled by Zhang Lu's brainless words, he silently withdrew from the study, and looked at the door for a long time, as Zhang Lu said, this may be the last time the two will meet in their lives.

In the afternoon, Zhang Lu left Xu Liangcheng with his people, and all the officials in the city saw him off. Under the organization of the government, the people in the city also sent farewell. The officials went all the way to the city gates, and then watched Zhang Lu disappear into the horizon before leaving.

After sending Zhang Lu, there was nothing important today, and Zhang Shumo took the opportunity to buy books on the street. According to Qin Sheng's prompt, Zhang Shumo came to a bookstore and met acquaintances as soon as he entered the door.

"Zhang Gongzi, are you here to buy books?" Liang Qi greeted Zhang Shumo warmly when he saw him.

Without waiting for Zhang Shumo to speak, Chen Yi, who was standing beside Liang Qi, took the lead and said, "You are Zhang Shumo?" Yang Xue's master? ”

Zhang Shumo couldn't help laughing: "Yang Xue is a joke, why should Brother Chen take it seriously?" ”

Liang Qi looked at the two of them with some puzzlement: "The two of you know each other?" ”

"I remember Brother Chen, I'm afraid Brother Chen can't remember me! Liang Gongzi, I am fortunate to be happy. Zhang Shumo arched his hand towards Liang Qi.

Chen Yi sneered behind his hands: "Brother Liang is too worried, how can I know an unknown junior like him, I just happened to hear his name." ”

Liang Qi felt Chen Yi's hostility, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xian, this is wrong, how can Zhang Gongzi be an unknown junior, he is now the councilor of the General's Mansion, and he is a colleague with your father!" ”

Chen Yi's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this: "He? Yicao? Brother Liang, I'm afraid you're not mistaken, right? He doesn't look as old as me, how can he be a councilor? My father was a staff member for three years before he became a member of the council, he is a nobody, how can he be a councilor? ”

After hearing Chen Yi's words, Liang Qi hurriedly winked at him: "Brother Xian, since you don't know Zhang Gongzi, how can you talk nonsense?" Zhang Gongzi is a person who is appreciated by Xiangye, isn't it more than enough to be a discussion? After speaking, Liang Qi hurriedly said to Zhang Shumo: "Master Zhang, Brother Chen doesn't know you, so he is offended, don't take it to heart." By the way, Chen Lin is the father of his brother, and everyone is their own person. ”

Zhang Shumo suddenly remembered that Qin Sheng said that Chen Lin could get a discount when he bought books, and couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, I'm just here to buy books." ”

Chen Yi on the side still looked at Zhang Shumo with a look of disbelief, in his impression, Zhang Shumo should be just a market gangster fighting crickets in a border town, how could he turn into a councilor of the General's Mansion, and he was on an equal footing with his father, this promotion is too fast!
