The old man and the black man fell into silence, and after a while, the black man grabbed the ink eyebrows, stood up, and slowly walked out the door. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The old man ignored him, not even looking up. When Heixia walked to the door, he stopped, didn't look back, and said in a low voice: "I have already accepted the son Dan of Yan Kingdom, with his talent, I think there will be a lot of interesting things to happen in the future." ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored the old man in Zhongyin, walked straight out of the door, and disappeared into the courtyard in a flash.

The old man poured himself another cup of tea, pecked lightly, and whispered to himself: "I didn't expect you to choose such a good sword grinding stone for Zheng'er." Hehe, it's hard work for you. With a wave of his hand, the door of the room was slammed shut.

……

Today's Zhao Zheng is honest, his mood is quite complicated, with the nervousness and joy of formal apprenticeship, as well as the sadness and reluctance to leave his mother. Maybe it's because he's been with Zhao Ji for a long time, or maybe it's because he's used to acting as a child, Zhao Zheng, who is in this matter, unnaturally burst into tears when he thinks of parting with Zhao Ji. At this moment, he finally realized how sad and reluctant his mother's never-ending nagging words contained every time he left his hometown to go out to study in his previous life. The mother of the child is worried that she has not been with her mother in her previous life to honor her, but in this life she has to live up to another mother who loves her. At that moment, Zhao Zheng almost had the idea of giving up his studies.

"Squeak!" Zhao Zheng returned to his home listlessly, sitting on the mat in the main house, maybe Zhao Ji went to sell female celebrities again, and was not at home.

Zhao Zheng grabbed the kettle on the table, poured himself a large bowl of water, and poured it down. The water overflowed along the corners of Zhao Zheng's mouth, wetting Zhao Zheng's collar, and Zhao Zheng didn't care, and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve casually.

Just as Zhao Zheng was still thinking about how to explain the three conditions ordered by the old man Zhongyin to Zhao Ji, the dilapidated door was opened again.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji was carrying a bamboo basket, in which some embroidered cloth could be vaguely seen.

Zhao Ji was slightly surprised when she saw Zhao Zheng sitting in the main room, and then saw the water bowl and soaked collar that Zhao Zheng was still holding, and the corners of Zhao Ji's eyes were not a little wet.

Zhao Ji walked into the main room, put down the basket she was carrying, gently stroked Zhao Zheng's head, and said lovingly: "Zheng'er, next time you are hungry, tell your mother that you can't drink enough water." ”

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then thought that he hadn't eaten breakfast, and it was almost noon when he looked like he was now, and his mother must have thought he was hungry.

The life of Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng is not easy, and under normal circumstances, they will only eat morning food and evening food, that is, breakfast and dinner. Although the amount of these two meals is far larger than the breakfast and dinner of later generations, it still can't stand the amount of activity in ancient times, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Zheng often screams with hunger.

Zhao Zheng hurriedly shook his hand and said to Zhao Ji: "Mother, I'm not hungry, I drink water because I ......" Before Zhao Zheng finished speaking, a grunting sound sounded in his stomach.

Zhao Ji listened, just thought that Zhao Zheng was filial and didn't want to worry about herself, so she comforted: "Zheng'er don't worry, you didn't eat the morning food today, the rice mother still stays, and the mother will give you a hot one." ”

After listening to Zhao Ji's words, Zhao Zheng felt sour in his heart for no reason. Zhao Zheng really didn't know if this woman who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside would collapse after he left. You must know that she is the only person she can rely on and trust after Zhao Yiren and Lu Buwei leave.

In such a muddy nightmare, Zhao Zheng finished his "lunch". When Zhao Zheng was having lunch, Zhao Ji looked at him quietly, and from time to time took another pair of chopsticks and gave Zhao Zheng a few pieces of leftover mutton from yesterday.

After Zhao Zheng had eaten, Zhao Ji packed up the dishes and chopsticks, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Zhao Zheng and waited for Zhao Zheng to say something.

Zhao Zheng's gaze dodged left and right several times, and in the end, he still had to look at Zhao Ji's smiling face. Zhao Zheng asked helplessly: "Mother, how do you know that I have something to say to you?" ”

"Little guy, you were born for your mother and raised for your mother, how can you not know that you are absent-minded when you just eat?" Zhao Ji said with a smile.

"Mother, I ......" Zhao Zheng hesitated.

"Tell me, did the gentleman ask for something? You don't need to be embarrassed, your uncle has prepared a lot of goods for you, and in two days, my mother will bring someone to visit Mr. with you, and send the teacher by the way. Zhao Ji smiled and comforted.

Zhao Zheng shook his head and did not speak.

"Isn't it?" This time it was Zhao Ji's turn to be surprised, Zhao Ji thought for a while, and connected to the strange personality of the old man in the middle and Zhao Zheng's appearance that he wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak, Zhao Ji guessed that it might not be just a teacher.

Zhao Ji took out a silk scarf from his cuffs and gently wiped the meat stains left by the mutton at the corner of his mouth for Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng stared at Zhao Ji for a while, gently patted Zhao Ji's hand away, straightened up, and said, "Mother, the teacher doesn't want my academic qualifications, but he made three requests for me. ”

Hearing Zhao Zheng call the old man Zhongyin a teacher, Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as long as Zhao Zheng could successfully apprentice, some other difficulties would be bearable for her.

Zhao Zheng didn't care about Zhao Ji's expression, and continued: "The teacher said that I am not allowed to bring any servants, and everything needs to be done by myself. I've already agreed on behalf of my mother. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, didn't say anything, looked at Zhao Zheng, and motioned for him to continue.

"The second condition is to be separated from my mother and eat and live with my teacher."

"Hmm. This is a good thing, I think this is not only for you to sharpen you, but also to share the pressure for our family. Zhao Ji said softly.

So, the child thought about it for a while and agreed to the teacher. Zhao Zheng said in a low voice.

"Then let's talk about the third condition that puts my smart and lovely Zheng'er in danger." Zhao Ji said with a smile.

Zhao Zheng took a deep breath and said, "The third condition that the teacher said is that Zheng'er can only come back once a month, and each time it will only take three days. ”

This time Zhao Ji was silent, lowered her head and thought for a while, sighed, and said, "Zheng'er, my mother knows, you are worried that your mother will not be willing to give you up." But you also have to remember that there is nothing in this world that you should not choose. Since the gentleman no longer wants our scholarship, it is also appropriate to take some other things from us. ”

"This is different, mother!" Zhao Zheng said excitedly that after experiencing two mothers, Zhao Zheng can clearly understand the preciousness and pricelessness of family affection. Therefore, Zhao Zheng also couldn't accept the so-called way of exchanging his mother's thoughts for his son for academic qualifications.

Zhao Ji smiled with some relief and continued: "My mother said that this is not just a matter of academic qualifications, but more importantly, if my mother often goes to see you, can you still follow Mr. to study hard?" ”

Zhao Zheng stopped talking, he knew that if Zhao Ji really went to the place where Mr. lived every now and then to find him. Not to mention adding trouble to Mr., at least after Zhao Ji came, it was impossible for him to learn much that day. If there are too many times in a month, then the month will basically be in vain. After two contacts with Mr., Zhao Zheng understood that although Mr. did not care very much about some side matters, he was a very strict person, and the reason was very simple, the bookcase was full of all kinds of bamboo slips, but it was spotless to explain everything. Zhao Zheng was also worried that if he failed the teacher's teaching, the teacher would drive him away.

"Since Sir wants you to eat and clothe with him, he must want you to learn from his life. This is a way of teaching by word and deed, but few people can do it. Studying with Mr. will definitely benefit you a lot. Zhao Ji continued in a gentle voice.

This time it was Zhao Zheng's turn not to speak, not because he was unwilling, but because Zhao Zheng didn't know how to refute Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji saw that he was about to convince Zhao Zheng, but he didn't say anything anymore, he knew that Zhao Zheng was in intense thinking. Seeing that his son was already so smart and filial at a young age, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.

After a while, Zhao Zheng's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. Zhao Zheng straightened up again, looked at the silk handkerchief in Zhao Ji's hand and said, "Mother, I figured it out, now I am not qualified to choose, I can only choose." Mother, don't worry, Zheng'er will definitely study hard, and one day, Zheng'er will definitely take you to take a good look at the scenery of the world! ”

Zhao Ji was slightly stunned, although she wanted to tell Zhao Zheng such a truth, but she was afraid of hitting Zhao Zheng, so she had been a little hesitant just now. Now, Zhao Zheng actually figured it out by herself and took the initiative to accept it, which made her feel relieved at the same time, but also a little distressed.

Zhao Zhengteng stood up, ran towards the door, and shouted: "Mother, I'll go first, give the teacher a reply!" ”
