With a small tea tray, Nalan walked into the study with low eyebrows and served a cup of tea to the two guests sitting in the study.

As the old saying goes, the ox has the power of a thousand catties, and the man has the method of guiding the ox; The generals can't listen to the waves, the Confucian scholars can't listen to the scriptures, and it is estimated that these old sayings are talking about a character like Shui Momei who is dedicated to learning.

Even if she knew that Nan Muen's character was not good, when she thought of the few ancient books in Nan Muen's hand, Shui Momei was able to put down the shelf of a scholar and deal with Nan Muen with dignity.

knew that his apprentice was the daughter of the head of Huozhengmen, but when he saw the fragment of the beast picture presented by Han Liangpin's hands, Shui Momei was able to let Han Liangpin into his study!

Raising her eyes and looking at Nalan who had sent the tea into the study, Shui Momei frowned slightly, but immediately lowered her head, and only took the clean dust that had just arrived and gently swept away the slight dust on the fragment of the alien beast map, and then took a Western magnifying glass and carefully looked at the fragment of the alien beast picture brought by Han Liangpin.

Different from the two fragments of the Alien Beast Diagram that have been in hand for a long time, the fragment of the Alien Beast Diagram in Han Liangpin's hand is obviously the fragment of the middle part of the original whole Alien Beast Diagram, the pattern left on it is fragmented, and the text is also a gourd and a scoop, either the remaining words at the end of a sentence, or the words at the beginning of another sentence. There are even some words that even Ink Plum can't distinguish at all.

Sighing slightly, Shui Momei gently put down the Western magnifying glass in her hand, and bowed to Nan Muen and Han Liangpin, who were sitting in front of the bookcase: "Shu Shui is shallow in knowledge and old eyes, and it is really difficult to distinguish the ancient handwriting on this strange beast map for a while!" If the two of you can trust Shui, can you leave this fragment of the beast diagram somewhere in the water, and let the water carefully refer to it for some time. Can you get a little bit of money? ”

Holding the gaiwan tea, Nan Muen pinched the lid of the bowl with an orchid finger and gently stirred the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl, and responded to Shui Momei's words in a dumb voice: "Brother Tiecao's proposal is indispensable, you and I have been intersecting for several generations, and it is already a good family, and it is not a problem to have only fragments of ancient books!" However, this thing is not owned by Shuisan. If Brother Tiecao wants to leave this ancient book fragment for reference, then he has to"

Squinting his eyes, Nan Muen looked obliquely at Han Liangpin, who was sitting beside him: "Brother Liangpin, you brought this fragment of ancient books, do you have an idea for yourself?" ”

Although he was sitting on a chair, Han Liangpin, who was sturdy, was like a vicious wolf squatting on a boulder to take a nap, and his whole body was full of strength, which did not look like ordinary people sitting in the study at all, but like the sword and axe hand hidden behind the tent of the Hongmen banquet that was ready to break out and hurt people at any time.

Listening to Nan Muen's words. Han Liangpin hugged his fist towards Shui Momei with some anger: "Mr. Shui, you are a person who asks questions in college, and you can afford to look down on the things in the hands of us who run the rivers and lakes, that is to reward our face!" Since you have opened this mouth, then I Han Liangpin has nothing to say, this thing is left here for you, when have you seen enough, when will we discuss everything on the side anyway. Won't we all be able to discuss it? ”

From the corner of his eye, he looked at Han Liangpin, who looked very bold, and Nalan who was standing aside with a small tea tray in his hand, did not wait for Shui Momei to speak. I couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Do you still have to discuss it?" If you have anything else to say, you have to say it first! Leave it aside like this, you don't say it happily, we don't understand it when we listen to it, do you? ”

Raising her bald eyebrows, Nan Muen looked at Nalan who was standing aside, and tentatively asked at Shui Momei, "This is?"

Frowning slightly. Shui Momei gently put the Western magnifying glass she was holding in her hand on the bookcase: "This is the inferior Nalan, the entry time is still shallow, and the rules of etiquette have been lost in front of the distinguished guests, Mr. Shuisan, bear with me!" ”

He looked Nalan up and down with some unscrupulousness. Han Liangpin gave a thumbs up to Nalan: "The daughter of the Ninth Master's family really understands the rules of the rivers and lakes!" But then again, Na Jiu Ye slammed the flag of the fire main gate in Sijiu City, but he didn't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, right? ”

Suddenly, his face turned red, and Nalan responded to Han Liangpin in a loud voice with some disregard: "This is my master's study, and it is not the turn of anyone to break the rules of the rivers and lakes here!" Otherwise, when you just reported your name, I would have been in the main gate for a long time, how could there be such a number one person as you? ”

With a sneer, Han Liangpin reached out and pulled out a beast tooth talisman tied with a red silk rope from his neck, and shook it towards Nalan who was standing aside: "The beast tooth talisman in the main gate of the fire, you definitely don't have it on you, but you should have seen it with your father Na Jiuye, right?!" Let me tell you clearly, my master is the second master Qiu in the main gate of the fire! If it's really about seniority, even your father and the ninth master have to call me a master brother! ”

Pouting slightly, Nalan snorted disdainfully: "Yo, you're still too old in your life?!" I almost know about my father's uncle, why don't I know that there is such a person as your master?!

Looking at the obvious look of disbelief on Nalan's face, Han Liangpin stood up suddenly, pinched the beast tooth talisman hanging from his neck and shouted, "How old are you?" How many roads and stories can you know in the main gate of the fire?! I don't understand, go home and ask your father, adults are talking here, and it's not your turn to interject."

Coughing heavily, Shui Momei unceremoniously interrupted Han Liangpin's words: "Mr. Han, this is a study in Shui, not a Jianghu Dao, if you have to talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes, then Shu Shui will send the guests first." The inferior Nalan is rude, Shui will discipline himself, there is no need for your guests to worry, Shui has other important things to do, you two look at ......"

Seeing that Shui Momei's face was not good, and the meaning of her words was obviously heavy, Han Liangpin hugged her fist at Shui Momei with interest: "It's that I don't know the severity, Mr. Shui forgives me!" But since someone has already made it clear, then I won't hide it in front of Mr. Shui! If there is half a month of effort, I, Han Liangpin, will also stamp the banner of the fire main gate in Sijiu City, and I also want to ask Mr. Shui to appreciate his face, and I should be enshrined under the banner of the fire main gate! If Mr. Water agrees to this fragment of the Alien Beast Diagram, you will stay with Mr. Water from now on! If I get a fragment of this beast in the future. That can also be sent to Mr. Water's study! ”

As if to make amusement, as soon as Han Liangpin finished speaking, Nan Muen, who was sitting on the side, immediately picked up the conversation, and smiled at Shui Momei with a bit of flattery: "I have heard that Mr. Tie Calyx already has this fragment of the beast diagram in his study, if you get this fragment again, wouldn't it be a good thing for Mr. Tie Calyx to pick up and fill in the gaps in the unique ancient books?" Spread it out in the future. It's also a gentleman's thing."

Lowering her eyebrows, Shui Momei pondered for a moment, then looked up at Han Liangpin, who was full of determination, and said, "The matter is big, can you allow Shui to consider one or two?!" ”

Squinted at Nalan who was flushed with anger, Han Liangpin hugged his fist towards Shui Momei with a big grin: "This is naturally up to Mr. Shui!" Before the eighth day of the next month, Mr. Shui will give me a letter of approval! ”

Stretching out her hand and pointing to the strange beast picture placed on her bookcase, Shui Momei looked at Han Liangpin tentatively: "Then the fragment of this strange beast picture"

Slyly smiled at Shui Momei, and Han Liangpin's words suddenly had a little more treacherous meaning: "I have to ask Mr. Shui to bear with me!" Speaking of the head, this fragment of the beast picture is the treasure of the housekeeper in the main gate of the fire. If you accept to be the worship at the entrance of my fire main gate, then you will naturally collect this fragment of the beast map! But if you haven't made up your mind about it, I'll have to take it back until you've got your mind right! ”

Stretching out two slaps in a panic, Shui Momei waved her hand at Han Liangpin, who was about to take back the fragment of the Alien Beast Diagram: "Don't be in a hurry, your fragment of the Alien Beast Diagram is not well preserved, there are already a lot of damages!" And Rong Shui will dispose of it slightly, so as not to have other injuries and regrets? ! ”

Han Liangpin was not allowed to speak, Shui Momei had already whispered to Nalan who was standing aside: "What are you still standing aside?" Susu will take the things that the teacher uses when appreciating ancient books. Good students are waiting by the side! ”

Looking at Shui Momei's appearance of not recognizing her six relatives except for ancient books, Nalan was so angry that tears rolled in his eyes. But still according to Shui Momei's instructions, he took some of the objects that Shui Momei used to maintain the ancient books and orphans on weekdays, and gently put them on the bookcase.

Stretching out two fingers, Shui Momei gently picked up a piece of pure dust that Nalan had just given her, and gently rotated it along the edge of the fragment of the alien beast picture on the bookcase, carefully sucking some broken picture crumbs and dust into the clean dust. But without looking back, he whispered to Nalan, "Take that three-inch tweezers!" ”

Just listening to Shui Momei's words, Nalan couldn't help but be stunned!

Although it is still a shallow time to study with Shui Momei, Nalan has also roughly heard Shui Momei talk about some techniques and rules for maintaining ancient books, and even fought for Shui Momei a few times by Shui Momei's side.

In the rules for maintaining the unique books of ancient books that Shui Momei said, if you want to turn the pages of those unique ancient books. It must be gently turned with bamboo tweezers wrapped in a soft cloth, so as not to hurt the pages of ancient books.

But the three-inch tweezers were made of iron, and could only come in handy when they were used to extract the rusted and rotten iron wires from the old ancient books. How can the fragments of this strange beast picture that are being maintained in front of you be able to use these three-inch iron tweezers?

Seeming to be very dissatisfied with Nalan's hesitation, Shui Momei snorted, turned her head and glared at Nalan fiercely: "Quickly take three inches of tweezers!" ”

Pretending to be scared, Nalan hurriedly agreed, but he took a pair of tweezers wrapped in a soft cloth from one of the objects and stood beside Shui Momei, gently picking up a corner of the fragment of the strange beast picture.

Glancing at Nalan without a trace, pinching the pure dust in his hand, Ink Mei silently followed the fragment of the alien beast picture back and forth slowly. In some places that seem to have some blurred handwriting or patterns, Ink Plum is even more pinching the dust back and forth, and I can't wait to use the dust in my hand to return the blurred handwriting to the original appearance!

Looking at Shui Momei's serious maintenance of the fragments of the Alien Beast Diagram, neither Nan Muen nor Han Liangpin dared to speak, so they could only sit quietly on the chair and wait for Shui Momei to finish the work at hand, not even daring to take a breath.

After half an hour, when Shui Momei finally let go of the clean dust that she had been pinching in her hand, Nan Muen and Han Liangpin breathed a sigh of relief

Gently putting the dust in her hand aside, Shui Momei closed her eyes slightly for a moment, and then opened her eyes and nodded to Nan Muen and Han Liangpin and said, "Take care of this fragment of the Alien Beast Diagram today." It's too much to consume, forgive the two of you for being rude! ”

Seeing that Shui Momei closed her eyes again and posed as a guest, Nan Muen and Han Liangpin looked at each other and stood up together.

Seeing Han Liangpin pick up the strange beast diagram on the table, Nan Muen arched his hand towards Shui Momei, who had his eyes slightly closed: "There is Mr. Lao Tiecao, Shui San will retire first." Another day"

Without waiting for Nan Muen to finish speaking, Shui Momei, who had closed her eyes slightly, had already said coldly: "Shui is busy, Shu Shui doesn't dare to understand Mr. Shui's three concerns!" Please do your own thing! ”

glaring fiercely at Han Liangpin, who had taken the fragment of the alien beast diagram into his arms, Nalan turned his body stubbornly, but rushed his back to Han Liangpin, who still wanted to say something to himself.

Seeing the demeanor of Shui Momei, and then looking at the low eyebrows and pleasing appearance of Feng Shi, who was already standing at the door of the study waiting to see off the guests, Nan Muen and Han Liangpin had to walk silently towards the courtyard gate!

As soon as she heard the movement of the courtyard door closing again, Shui Momei, who was still closing her eyes and recuperating her mind, suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head and shouted to Nalan who was standing beside her, "Have you been"

Grabbing the pen and paper with a quick hand. Nalan didn't wait for Shui Momei to finish speaking, he had already grabbed Shui Momei's bookcase and wrote on a blank piece of paper.

Just like Nan Muen and Han Liangpin, Shui Momei didn't dare to take a sip, but stared at the movement of the pen in Nalan's hand with a nervous expression, and his heart was almost extremely nervous! Especially when Nalan stopped his pen and frowned and thought about it, Shui Momei gritted her teeth tightly and clenched her fists, looking like she was in a hurry when she couldn't do it!

In the past, the two-hour teaching time had passed earlier. Even Feng Shi quietly walked to the door of the study and looked at it several times, but Shui Momei and Nalan were unaware. It wasn't until Nalan gently put down the brush in his hand. Shui Momei, who was standing next to the bookcase, exhaled a long breath together with Nalan.

With a slightly tired look, Nalan carefully looked at the words and patterns he had just written silently, and then whispered to Shui Momei standing beside him: "Master, these words and paintings should not be wrong!" ”

As if she hadn't heard Nalan's words, Shui Momei stared at the words and patterns that Nalan had just written silently and muttered for a long time. Fang Cai nodded heavily: "Good boy is really a good boy!" Thank you! ”

With a slightly nervous look, Nalan quietly stared at Shui Momei's face, and asked tentatively: "Then with this fragment of the strange beast picture that I silently wrote down, you won't be their Nalaoshzi to worship, right?" ”

Slightly stunned, Shui Momei suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha, I made you worry about this child!" Although I am obsessed with learning. But it's not that people are not sophisticated, and they still have a little bit of knowledge! Look at Han Liangpin's demeanor, and there are a lot of tricks between his words, what kind of person am I, how can I communicate with him? Not to mention collusion? ”

Very relieved, Nalan stretched out his hand and patted his heart gently: "As a master, you really want to be a Nalaoshzi for the fragment of the strange beast picture, but it scares me."

Looking at Nalan who suddenly chuckled out in surprise, Shui Momei asked Nalan a little inexplicably, "Why are you laughing for no reason?" ”

Rolling his eyes, Nalan smiled at Shui Momei with a little sly and said, "Look at your serious appearance on weekdays, master, I am still a very old-fashioned person when I am a master, and I can't turn around anything!" But today, when the master asked me to take the three-inch tweezers, I wondered that the master would also calculate people? Relying on my little memory, I secretly memorized the things on the fragment of the strange beast picture? Master, are you doing this badly? ”

The old face suddenly turned purple, and Shui Momei almost pointed at Nalan incoherently and shouted: "You girl, this is stealing books, this is a matter for readers!" Stealing books is not for stealing, stealing books is an elegant thief and there are book clouds, and the gentleman is solid and the poor master is cloudy."

Through the window glass, Mrs. Shui and Feng Shi, who were standing at the foot of the kang and waiting, listened to Nalan's laughter faintly coming from the study, as well as Shui Momei's shouting with a bit of embarrassment, and glanced at each other, but they both laughed softly.

Holding her fingers to tease the milk cat that was almost stuck in her palm, the old lady sighed softly: "Alas, this is how it should be in this house!" Adults are noisy and children laugh, which makes the family feel alive and mental! ”

Nodding slightly, Feng Shi gently responded to the old lady in a harmonious voice: "The old lady is right! Why don't you let Miss Nalan eat at home at noon today? It's also rare to be lively? ”

Nodding her head slightly, the old lady stretched out her arm towards Feng: "Okay!" Help me up, and I'll walk outside the house to take a breath! ”

Carefully supporting the old lady Shui slowly out of the house, the old lady Shui first stood at the door for a while, so that her eyes adjusted to the light of the sky, and then she was supported by Feng Shi and slowly walked towards the door of the Ink Plum study.

Seeing the old lady Shui walking towards the door of the study, Nalan exclaimed in a low voice, and had already rushed towards the outside of the study, calling softly in his mouth: "My ancestor, why did you come out like this?" ”

Lovingly allowing Nalan to rush forward and hold his other arm, the old lady nodded at Nalan with a smile and smiled: "You are still a capable girl!" Since your master led us into this small courtyard, how many years have we not heard such a festive movement? Not only can you coax my old lady to be happy, but you can also make your master shout and relax if I have a granddaughter like you, I will be really content in this life! ”

Quickly glanced at Shui Momei, who had already greeted Mrs. Shui at the door of the study, Nalan smiled sweetly and grabbed Mrs. Shui's arm: "Then I really call you grandma?" I just don't know if my master will agree? ”

Seeing that the old lady Shui was in a much better spirit, and when she looked at Xiang Nalan, she was full of doting on her face, Shui Momei rarely showed a smile on her face, and nodded at the old lady Shui, who was looking at her, and smiled: "This matter is naturally up to the mother!"
