On the second day, Xu Xian prepared gifts, accompanied by his brother-in-law Li Gongfu, and took a carriage to Muyang Academy to thank Zhang Jingming.

Normally, when a student starts to take the children's exam, it means that the husband has basically passed on what he has learned to the student, and the student has "graduated".

At this time, students need to prepare gifts to thank Mr. for his great kindness.

The time is basically the day after the prefectural exam, before the prefectural exam results are announced.

Although, for Xu Xian and Zhang Jingming, the teacher-student teaching between them is far from over, but they must also follow the etiquette.

Arriving at Muyang Academy, Xu Xian took Li Gongfu into the courtyard where Zhang Jingming lived with gifts in both hands.

In the courtyard, Zhang Jingming accepted Xu Xian's kneeling and thank-you gift, and Li Gongfu, as a parent, expressed his gratitude to Zhang Jingming and gave the prepared gifts.

After the thank-you ceremony, Zhang Jingming didn't ask Xu Xian how he did in the county test, and said in a normal tone: "After the county test is released, stay for two days at most, and you will come back to class." ”

"Yes, Teacher." Xu Xian replied respectfully.

Coming out of Zhang Jingming's courtyard, Li Gongfu went to find Vice President Zhao Wenyuan to donate money to Muyang Academy.

Donating money to the academy is said to be looking for the dean, but Zhang Jingming has always ignored the mundane affairs of the college, so he had to find Zhao Wenyuan.

Xu Xian didn't follow, he turned around and walked towards the dormitory.

I haven't seen Tang Wanrong for seven or eight days, and he suddenly wants to see her.

He walked to the front of the dormitory and found that the door was open, and Tang Wanrong was sitting inside.

"Xu Xian." Tang Wanrong greeted him, her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Xian's face, and she shouted softly.

Xu Xian had a smile on his face, and as he walked into the dormitory, he smiled and said, "Are you waiting for me?" I haven't seen you for a few days, are you okay? ”

"Of course, it's okay to live in one room alone, how quiet." Tang Wanrong smiled and said, "How did you do in the exam?" Do you have the confidence to take the county test? ”

Xu Xian smiled, spread his hands and said: "Whoever takes the head of the case is the meaning of the county master, and it is not my turn to decide." ”

"That's just as well." Tang Wanrong nodded.

Xu Xian smiled: "Tang Rong, I came back from the exam so hard, is there any reward?" How about playing a song for me? ”

"As you wish."

Tang Wanrong generously agreed, took off her guqin, and then sat down at the desk to play.

Xu Xian sat down in a chair and listened, thinking it was a cheerful and festive tune, but he didn't expect the tune to be gloomy and sad, which made him frown.

Then, Tang Wanrong sang softly with the melancholy tune:

"Morning Glory, Bright River Han Girl.

Slender hands, zaza lanes.

All day long, sobbing is like rain;

The river is clear and shallow, a little different!

Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent. ”

Hearing Tang Wanrong singing the Qixi poem he "composed" last year, Xu Xian was immediately relieved, presumably Tang Wanrong had recently made up a tune for this poem, and it happened to play it to him.

It's just that when he looked at Tang Wanrong Meiyu, he felt a lingering depression in his eyes, which was thick and uncivilized, and it was revealed on her pretty face and integrated into the sound of the piano and singing.

However, then he thought that this Qixi poem was originally a sad and sad poem, and Tang Wanrong played and sang this poem, of course, he had to integrate his emotions into it in order to move people's heartstrings.

Last year's Qixi Festival, after Tang Wanrong hid in the dormitory and cried, Tang Wanrong began to deliberately keep a distance from him, and their relationship did not grow closer and closer with time, but always maintained the status of ordinary good friends.

Although Xu Xian secretly regretted in his heart, he was also secretly relieved.

Therefore, after maintaining the status of an ordinary good friend for such a long time, Xu Xian basically had no illusions about Tang Wanrong.

Finally, the singing and piano stopped, and the tears rolling in Tang Wanrong's beautiful eyes were immediately put away.

"How? I've made up a good tune, right? Tang Wanrong smiled and asked proudly, the resentful and sad mood just now was swept away, making Xu Xian think that he had seen it wrong.

Xu Xian clapped his hands and applauded.

The two laughed at each other for a while, and Tang Wanrong suddenly said, "I'm going home tomorrow." ”

"Oh, what's wrong with your family?" Xu Xian said, "Pay attention to safety on the road. ”

Tang Wanrong laughed a little reluctantly and said, "It's a bit of a problem." ”

Then the two sat silently for a while, Tang Wanrong looked at Xu Xian twice, waiting for Xu Xian to speak, but Xu Xian didn't notice.

Xu Xian was thinking that he had been staying in the dormitory for a while, and Li Gongfu should finish his errands.

"I have to go, I came to the academy with my brother-in-law, and he is probably in a hurry." Xu Xian stood up and said to Tang Wanrong.

Tang Wanrong responded with an "um", then stood up, and then sent Xu Xian to the door.

Walking out of the door, Xu Xian turned around and waved his hand with a smile: "Okay, goodbye." ”

“…… Good bye. Tang Wanrong raised her jade hand, which was as white as frost, and waved it a little mechanically, watching Xu Xian walk away in a dashing manner.

“…… Good bye. She looked at Xu Xian's distant back, and said again in a self-muttering voice, and the two lines of tears finally slipped uncontrollably.

Xu Xian found Li Gongfu, and Li Gongfu had been waiting for him for a while.

"I've kept my brother-in-law waiting." Xu Xian said apologetically.

Li Gongfu smiled unmindfully: "It's okay, let's go home." ”

Next, Xu Xian and Li Gongfu walked out of Muyang Academy and got into a carriage to go home.

Returning home in the carriage, as soon as he got off the carriage, Xu Xian saw two more fast arresters and immediately greeted Li Gongfu.

"Boss, something is wrong!" The two catchers shouted anxiously, and they didn't care about Xu Xian, an outsider, "Last night, Kuyin lost a thousand taels, and the eldest lord ......was angry."

"What? Treasury silver lost?! Li Gongfu couldn't help but scream, his face changed greatly, and he immediately hurried in the direction of the yamen.

.

However, he rushed out a few steps, remembered that his saber was not on, turned around and rushed home to get the saber like a whirlwind, and then rushed towards the yamen with the two catchers.

Xu Xian froze in place for a while, and the incident of the loss of the treasury silver suddenly reminded him of an extremely important matter: the White Lady and Xiaoqing were about to appear.

"My White Lady, you're finally going to show up." Xu Xian exhaled a long breath when he looked up to the sky, his whole body was excited, and he almost screamed with excitement.

"Go to the Mansion of the King of Hatred!" He didn't enter the door of his house either, and immediately walked towards the Qiu Wang's Mansion.

However, after walking more than a dozen steps, he calmed down: "Wait, I went to the Qiu Wangfu so boldly, what if they didn't recognize me and ate me directly?" ”

"Let's just let it be. On March 3, I waited for them to find me at the West Lake Broken Bridge. ”

Thinking of this, Xu Xian suppressed his impulse and turned around to go home.

At this time, Bai Suzhen, who Xu Xian was thinking in her heart, had not yet arrived in Qiantang County, and she was visiting Guanyin Bodhisattva at the golden top of Mount Emei to ask for enlightenment.

Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared on the top of the golden dome, and listened to Bai Suzhen's request to take refuge in the Three Jewels and jump out of the mortal world, so he said: "Good and good, it is rare that you are sincere, but you have not repaid your kindness, how can you transcend and ascend?" ”

Bai Suzhen suddenly remembered what she had been thinking about for thousands of years.

Thousands of years ago, she was still an ordinary white snake, and when she was caught by a snake catcher, and seeing that her life was in danger, a shepherd boy appeared and saved her. After that, she can practice for thousands of years, survive the catastrophe, and be reborn as an adult.

"The disciple also knows the way to repay the favor, but for thousands of years, the vast sea of people, how to repay the kindness?" Bai Suzhen said.

Guanyin Bodhisattva pointed out: "March 3 is Qingming, and it rains a lot during Qingming. If you have a chance to meet thousands of miles away, you must go to the West Lake ......"

As she was talking, she suddenly stopped, lowered her head and pinched her fingers to plot, her eyebrows solemn.

"It's strange, why hasn't Bai Suzhen's benefactor been reincarnated yet?" Guanyin Bodhisattva was puzzled and said secretly, "But Bai Suzhen's ascension is only in the past twenty years, and if you miss the opportunity, you will have to wait for at least another three hundred years." Isn't this seat a disappointing of Lishan's mother's trust? ”

"That's it, Bai Suzhen's going down the mountain to repay her kindness is just a reason to arrange for her to survive the Red Dust Tribulation, and it doesn't matter if she really succeeds in repaying her kindness. I'll just spend more time taking care of her. ”

Thinking of this, she stopped calculating and asked Bai Suzhen, "Do you understand?" ”

"The disciple still doesn't understand." Bai Suzhen was confused.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "The heavenly machine must not be revealed, you can do it yourself." ”

After speaking, her figure flashed and left the golden top of Emei Mountain.
