Chapter 57: The One-Year Covenant

The carriage stopped outside Tianfu Temple, and Zhang Xiangwen, who had just jumped out of the carriage, was attracted by the horse tied in front of the temple gate, "Big brother, come and see, what a beautiful horse."

Tang Que got out of the car, and saw that the horse was really beautiful, not to mention the tall and majestic head, the hair lines on his body were like copper coins, forming a small inner rotation and arranged together in a fine and neat manner, and from a distance, it looked like a layer of armor was draped on the horse, which was very good-looking.

"This is a purebred five-flowered horse, you see how fine and neat this hair whirl, I don't know when there was such a good horse in our county, I don't know ......", Zhang Xiangwen was still muttering in his mouth, but he was pulled towards the temple gate by Tang Que, who was worried about time.

It's still the small courtyard last time, but the old monk didn't play the piano today, when Tang Que walked into the simply decorated abbot, he was surprised to find that Liu Suifeng, who had just tried in the county school, was standing inside, holding an unfolded picture scroll in his hand.

Liu Suifeng didn't expect to see Tang Que here, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and the words of the old monk Chengning next to him sounded softly, "Learn to paint all the way, and the later stage is naturally focused on hard work, but in the early stage, you need solid water grinding kung fu, you are smart, but you can't mistake yourself because of your cleverness."

Liu Suifeng nodded and had already put away the scroll, as if he was afraid of being seen by Tang Que.

Seeing this, it is very clear that this Liu Suifeng, like himself, is also learning to paint with the old monk Chengning.

"Well, you go first", Cheng Ning raised his hand slightly to Liu Suifeng, and then turned his gaze to Tang Que.

With Liu standing on the side with the wind, Tang Que's apology was a little unspeakable, but fortunately, this person was also interested, and he went out without delay after receiving the scroll.

Seeing this, Tang Que breathed a sigh of relief, and then told him about the busy situation in recent days, and finally naturally apologized sincerely to the old monk.

After the old monk Chengning listened, he was not as angry as Tang Que expected, and the expression and tone on his face were still light, "Since the poor monk has received the handwritten "Diamond Sutra" from Old Master Yan, you as a disciple can't help but teach." Whether you are learning the piano or painting, the first thing is to calm your mind, you have a lot of things to do now, but you don't have to force it for a while, and it doesn't hurt to come back when you have time. As for what can be achieved in the end, it is all up to personal fate."

After saying this, the old monk raised his hand slightly as he did just now, "Since you have something to do in the afternoon, let's go!" ”。

Seeing that the old monk's attitude towards people is pure and natural, this makes Tang Que, who was ashamed in his heart, feel relaxed, and he can't help but have a little more good impression of Chengning, and walked out of the abbot to the small courtyard, Zhang Xiangwen, who was waiting here, grabbed his arm, "I just saw Liu Suifeng coming out of it, why is he here?" ”。

"He is also learning to paint with Elder Chengning", Tang Que smiled, "It's not early, don't hurry back to eat."

When the two of them followed each other to the mountain gate, the first thing they saw was Liu Suifeng, who was dressed in white and was standing next to the majestic five-flowered and money-rich horse.

"Hell", Zhang Xiangwen muttered in a low voice, Liu Suifeng had already led the horse over at this time, and said directly to Tang Que: "You and I are learning the second skill of qin painting with Elder Chengning, and we are just getting started, since this is the case, it will take about a year, and today a year later, we will use the piano to paint a shorter and longer."

Liu Suifeng led the horse over, and there were clearly two people standing in front of him, but Zhang Xiangwen was like air in his eyes, and he didn't even glance at the corner of his eye, how could Young Master Zhang not be annoyed? Before Liu Suifeng finished speaking, Zhang Xiangwen had already sneered and said: "The general of the defeated army still dares to speak bravely, let alone a year, even if you have practiced for ten or twenty years, you will still lose."

Liu Suifeng didn't pay attention to Zhang Xiangwen's provocation at all, and after he finished speaking, he nodded to Tang Que, then turned over and got on the horse, and when Zhang Xiangwen finished speaking, he was already ten steps away, and from beginning to end, he didn't look at Young Master Zhang at all.

Tang Que originally wanted to say a few sentences that Zhang Xiangwen shouldn't take this matter for himself, but seeing his purple face because of anger, he couldn't say anything in his mouth, so he simply didn't say anything and pulled him into the carriage.

Zhang Xiangwen has also been spoiled since he was a child, where has he been despised and aggrieved? After getting into the car, his face was purple and sulky, Tang Que persuaded a few words to no avail, and after the carriage drove away from Tianfu Temple, he saw him squeeze Tang Que's arm violently, and said hatefully: "Big brother, you have to win him in next year's competition no matter what, otherwise brother, I will resent you for a lifetime."

Tang Que's mentality has long been not interested in this kind of battle of wills, there is no benefit of winning without a penny, and if you lose, you don't lose half of the meat, since there is no benefit in winning or losing, then what is there to fight for? However, in front of Zhang Xiangwen, who was puffing up in front of him, he couldn't say such a thought, and he could only respond: "I'll do my best, try my best!" ”。

After going home for dinner, Tang Que continued to work in the county office, and then seized the time to read and practice words again at night, the wind and rain came at night, Tang Que looked at the lamps swaying slightly in the night breeze through the window, and it was inevitable that he sighed a few words of bad life, it is said that the pace of life in ancient times was slow, and life should be much easier, but after his turn to cross back, he was even busier than in the later life, hey! Bitter life!

In the following days, Tang Que maintained a life of three points and one line every day, and the county school, residence, and county government were busy back and forth. If there is any change, it is that he has almost made up the homework of the "Four Books", and there are notes from other classmates that can be borrowed, and it is much faster to take the essence of them than to blindly study on his own.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that after a competition with Liu Suifeng that day, the originally very low-key Tang Que really became famous as Zhang Xiangwen said, thanks to Liu Suifeng's high attention, he defeated the "all-round scholar" Ming Jing science student actually became a well-known figure in the county school.

Because of the relationship of mentality, Tang Que didn't have the heart to make any limelight in the county school, and under his consistent low-key, the enthusiasm of the county school students to pay attention to him slowly cooled down, but it was also thanks to his low profile, which was in great contrast with Liu Suifeng, Tang Que unintentionally planted flowers and got a "gentle and generous, subtle and courteous" style comment, when he heard this eight-character public comment, Tang Que was really dumbfounded.

Actually, I just don't want to compete with a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old kids, which is too high!

Spring is fleeting, in a blink of an eye it is April day, the jacket under the regimental shirt can no longer be worn, and the weather is getting hot day by day, at noon this day, Tang Que came back from the county school, and after entering the courtyard for the first time, he saw a carriage parked in the courtyard, and the lady of the Gao family who was in charge of the stove was busy in the kitchen with her daughter.

Seeing this scene, Tang Que immediately knew that it was time for the poisonous widow to arrive in the county seat.

After entering the courtyard of Erjin, sure enough, I saw the poisonous widow looking around in the study, presumably she had just arrived, and Sister Lan was explaining something to her one by one. There are two girls standing next to them, they look good, but they look a little chaotic between their eyebrows and eyes, and their hands and feet are slightly bigger, which should be the maids that the poisonous widow bought from the mountains after the blue grass left.

The two girls didn't know Tang Que, but at this time, they saw a young man walking in the inner courtyard, and immediately shouted "ah".

"What's the fuss, there are no rules......", the poisonous widow who was looking at Tang Que's study with great interest turned her head and saw Tang Que standing at the door of the study with a smile, but the words behind her could no longer be said.

"You two follow me to the front yard stove room to see if there is anything you need to help", Sister Lan glanced at Tang Que with a smile in her eyes, and then walked out of the courtyard with two ignorant girls, with the sound of "squeak" closing the door, the poisonous widow stared at Tang Que's eyes and suddenly swayed a layer of glittering waves.

"You're here?" , Maybe it's because I haven't seen each other for a few months, and the atmosphere in the study is a little raw.

Hearing Tang Que's tone a little hard, the poisonous widow's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she took two steps forward and snuggled into the man's arms, "You...... Are you still blaming me? ”。
