When I got home, I saw strange carriages and horses parked inside the door, and a visitor who was serving tea in the front hall accompanied by a mysterious creature, but it was a certain manager from the Dragon Bird Garden.

The thank-you gift from Taiwei Lu's family came sooner than I imagined, and a large cart was loaded, with five-color brocade cloth, gold, silver, enamel, and amber utensils, three pairs of jade, as well as a grange's title deed and delivery document, as well as a blank body with complete badges.

Some of them are small pieces of fun, according to my family, one big, three small, four women have their own share, it seems that the other party has a very clear idea, and naturally there is a secret hope that I will be cautious and have a cover money. It's just that when the specific things are distributed, this also makes Cui Juanting's face turn pale.

In addition, the old servant who came with me also privately handed me a private letter in the personal name of Miss Sun Lu Ni, which contained several large money tickets, which seemed a little less respectful.

But when I read the contents of the letter, I understood that the handwriting represented a presumptuous request that I should transfer the largest amount of money to someone who was not convenient to meet for the time being.

I thought about it, but it happened to be with this leader, I called the coachman and followed, and according to the address provided in the private message, I came to the Liede District outside the right city. Because the address of that Xin Jiaxuan also points here.

Although it was harassed and plundered by the rebels, it was relatively less damaged due to other reasons, so it was quickly restored. Compared with other urban areas full of fireworks, the most common thing here is the bookstore, paper shop, stationery and other shops on the street, and the smell of books and ink can be smelled in the air from afar.

Because it is also known as the school city, the three large-scale schools in Guangfu, Nanhai University, the Maritime Academy, the Sailor School and many primary and secondary schools are all gathered in this urban area.

Nanhai University Hall, or Maritime Academy and Sailor School, were all founded by Liang Gongyao before the establishment of the Nanhai Governor's Office, plus some of the two schools and three attachments in Kyoto that later moved south: Jingshi University Hall, Wubei University Hall, Baigong School, Martial Arts School and Officials School, as well as Guozijian, constitute the main source of many schools in Guangfu today.

In addition, there are many wealthy families in Lingnan, so the products of various persuasion and school running habits have risen over the past dynasties, and at the peak of Guangfugi, including engineering, private schools and mobile training centers, there were thousands of teaching places of various names, and more than half of them still continue to exist under various names.

And this Liede City District, which is close to the seaside hilly area, accounts for more than one-third of the most important of them, including the Wudong Hall, one of the three martial arts schools in Jinnai, where Xin Jiaxuan is in charge.

It's not easy to find this place from a large number of gates and signboards with different names, even if there are local people who are responsible for leading the way for outsiders and temporary guides, but there are not many people who can remember this remote area.

After I walked out of the streets and roads, along all kinds of small vegetable furrows and ridges, walked for a while, I found that the campus was hidden in the shade and the pale color, there was already a bit of history and old taste, the courtyard wall was full of moss and overgrown weeds, and the iron-clad gate was also in the sea breeze and humidity, rusty, only the white copper nameplate, which seemed to be often polished and wiped, and presented a different kind of shiny.

After knocking on the door and ringing the bell, a somewhat scary face suddenly appeared on the door, and then slowly walked out of the small door on the side, and I realized that

It was an old soldier, his face had been heavily cut, only one eye was good, and the missing part of his calf was supported by a wooden stick, and this kind of place was also the place where the disabled veterans who had no family in the army retreated and resettled.

After I showed my identity and informed me of the request, he slowly went in again on his legs. Through the open side door,

Faintly you can see inside, on the coarsely mowed huge lawn, sparsely pulled students who are exercising or exercising equipment, how much makes the surroundings show a kind of vitality and vitality that is different from the silence.

It didn't take long for me to see an emaciated figure, he was wearing a tight cyan uniform, except that he had no armor and no logo, he was no different from the local defense army in Guangfu, which was also the common uniform color of the leaders in the martial arts system, because they occasionally had to serve in the defense army for a period of time.

"It turned out to be Brother Luo......"

He seemed a little surprised to see me, he didn't expect me to find this place.

"I have been entrusted by a friend we all know to visit you......"

I'm straight to the point

"Is she okay?"

Immediately, Xin Jiaxuan said with some hesitation.

"It's okay, it's just that because of the change the day before yesterday, I couldn't get out of the ......."

"So I can only entrust it to you and bring you something......"

I handed over the rewrapped letter,

After reading the letter I brought and the money ticket, he was a little happy mixed with melancholy and complicated feelings, but he sighed heavily, and then said

"It's not good to entertain guests in the cold and ugly, can you please ask Brother Luo to stay for a while?

"It's okay ......"

I smiled slightly, then found a bench in our room and sat down, watching the activities of the students through the missing window.

Although their numbers are a little small, and their bodies are a little uneven, they are still quite serious in their practice, which is in sharp contrast to the obviously old and simple facilities around them.

And the walls are painted with "Tianxingjian, the gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement" and incomplete". Although it is far away, it will be punished", which confirms the current situation of this martial arts school, which is not valued, lacks investment, and has insufficient students.

After a while, when some kind of bell rang, the students stopped and dispersed one by one, some of them looking in my direction, as if the visitors here were relatively rare, and made them quite guess

Then, Xin Jiaxuan walked over, but he had already changed into a regular clothes, but it obviously had traces of grinding and curling on the cuffs below the elbows after wearing them for a long time.

A moment later, in a tea shop, there were many friends, and all kinds of voices were boiling, because Xin Jiaxuan's colleagues were also drinking here, so I was invited in, and it became some kind of same event.

Although they only drank a large pot of tea and cheap drinks soaked in licorice and orange peel, and simple cakes and fruits were just preserved, these people still tried their best to drink a kind of banquet atmosphere, and it seemed that these companions of Xin Jiaxuan usually lived a lot of tight and bitter lives.

I looked at them with a smile, talking to Xin Jiaxuan, but it was very familiar.

Seeing Xin Jiaxuan's somewhat helpless and apologetic look, I comforted with a smile.

"There's no need to mind my ......"

"When I was studying in Los Angeles, I did the same......

"Chunming Street, when the season comes, it is full of indulgent scholars......"

"Brother Luo has been to Luodu......"

His eyes lit up, revealing a certain sense of fascination.

"Yes, in the early years, the family had some origins, and I specially admired it to study......"

"I don't know if it's Jingda or Wuda......"

A voice next to him said

"All of them"

"Can you tell us about the situation......?"

With this topic, it was not so boring, and soon I joined them in the lively conversation, all kinds of interesting stories about school life, the same year and the teacher of the water chestnut, and a variety of association activities.

"Brother Luo was also the head of Kodansha......

I unintentionally talked about the affairs of Tansha, and then they set off another wave of enthusiasm, but it was all kinds of envy, jealousy, hatred, and so on, and then a little eagerly looked up.

I also took the opportunity to understand the background of most of them, including Xin Jiaxuan.

Xin Jiaxuan's ancestors are also northerners, from the Yiwei Rebellion a large number of famous families and wealthy dignitaries who fled to the south, compared to Liang Xia, who fled thousands of miles away, to the territory of the Nanhai Governor's Mansion, naturally there is convenience on land and water), to the northern expedition of the Jiayou Army, after Emperor Taiding broke Xijing, captured the descendants of the Xijing people sent to the south,

There are at least hundreds of thousands to millions of people who have bred in the mountains so far, covering all levels of society, in order to distinguish them from those who have been in the south one after another, so they are also called "old northerners".

And Xin Jiaxuan himself, currently only as a preparatory department of the Martial Arts Academy, a teacher in the Jinai Martial Arts Academy, is only better than the lowest teaching assistant, with a fixed salary of 20 yuan and allowances and subsidies, no need to live in a single public house, has his own small mansion and a servant, an old horse-drawn caravan, is most of his net worth.

There are at least seven or eight steps left before the superintendent and the hall who have the title of from the sixth grade, and there are really no career successes, and they can only be regarded as a solid family if they die. The so-called death of both parents and a car and a house may be a good match for some women, but for the young lady of the Taiwei family, it is a bit unpresentable

He likes to make friends with all kinds of characters, he has no money to spare, no overnight food or anything, which is the best portrayal of his daily life, and he doesn't know how to hook up with Miss Sun, who should be at a different social level and pampered by the Taiwei family. Well, all I can say is that I wish them a good outcome.

It is said that he wanted to join the army in his early years, but he repeatedly failed to do so, but he liked to use the conditions of the martial arts academy to do all kinds of filing and planning, and then submit books to the upper echelons of the two schools.

You must know that earlier, he was still from the military academy, one of the top talents with excellent grades, stayed in school as a teaching assistant, and was also a member of the student corps, but because he defended the disbanded Youth Army Society, he was involved in the Northern Expedition controversy in the previous years, and was denounced by the upper echelons for being uneasy about his duties and talking about military affairs in disguise.

At this point, there are some people who have a normal historical time and space, who have never met under the suppression of the Lord and the faction all their lives, shouting "Wang Shi Beiding Central Plains Day, and the family sacrifice does not forget to tell Naiweng" The depressed life trajectory ended.

Well, another potential historical figure, who has reached a friendly level or above, has a difficult life, is not satisfied with the status quo, likes a woman who is cross-class, has the motivation and motivation to urgently change his status, and lacks opportunities, well, the preconditions for digging the foot of the wall, have appeared.

It's just the first time we meet, and it's too deliberate to solicit directly, so you can continue to make deep friends and cultivate familiarity, and then I add such an article to my schedule

As for his fellow faculty members, it can only be regarded as a side gain, and there are some marginalized radicals who advocate the Northern Expedition, but they need to be further understood.

I thought about it for a while, and added that based on the experience of Kodansha in the old days, and based on the current situation of Wu Dongtang, I could hire them as part-time workers to do some extra work, so as to further draw them closer and examine their character and behavior.
