Chapter 284: Strange Woman
"Wha-" He laughed three times, sorted out his thoughts, and just listened to this sentence, he knew who the chick on the other side was. I can meet outside the broken temple, and I don't know if it's luck or back. He laughed a few times before saying: "This young lady, we don't know each other, it's not appropriate to say this kind of thing, I can't open my mouth, alas, you better find someone who is destined to go." There are still urgent matters in the body, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will say goodbye. β
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and wiped a cold sweat, and hurried out to the outside, refusing to stay for a second.
Miss Xu sighed and said, "It's no different from saying it or not saying it." I didn't want to do something boring, but I didn't expect that it was someone from the Xiao family in Jinling who was talking to me so frivolously, which really disappointed me. β
Khan, Lao Tzu has smeared the Xiao family this time, this thing is really evil. He stopped, turned to look at Miss Xu, and grinned, "Do you really want to say it?" Oh well - catch up with you and dump you, that's my goal! β
Ye Gongzi's face changed, and he shouted: "Bold, you are so rude, you dare to blaspheme Miss Xu like this, you really deserve to die." β
Lin Wanrong spread her hands and said innocently: "This son, you also heard it, it's not what I want to say, it's Miss Xu who asked me to repeat it, and I just did it." What's wrong? β
The son surnamed Ye couldn't make a sound, and Miss Xu smiled slightly: "A little anxious!" It's not too bad to get home! May I ask this third son, is Miss Xiao also in Beijing now? When I was young, Mrs. Mong Xiao took care of me, and I heard my father mention the name of the eldest lady, but I never had the opportunity to see him. If she were in Beijing, I would love to meet her. She pointed out the third son, that is, she thought that the woman who took shelter from the rain in the Reclining Buddha Temple yesterday was her.
That's it. Lin Wanrong was barefoot and was not afraid to wear shoes, and nodded: "Miss Xie Xu cares." The two young ladies of my family have already arrived in Beijing, and I will definitely convey Miss Xu's wishes. But I don't know that Miss Xu Lingzun is-"
"My father is just an ordinary reader, so don't mention it." Miss Xu said indifferently: "Speaking of which, when Mrs. Xiao left the capital, I was still a child who did not understand the world, but I didn't expect that twenty years had passed in a blink of an eye, and I wonder if her old man was okay?" β
Elderly? So young and beautiful, Mrs. Xiao has become an old man in Miss Xu's mouth, and she really deserves to be beaten. Lin Wanrong glanced at Miss Xu.
Before, he only paid attention to Miss Xu's face, and then paid attention to her dress. Seeing that she was dressed in light blue clothes and was very decent, her figure was graceful, her face was calm, but the bun on her head was already coiled high, and she used a hosta hairpin to pull it up at will, simple and generous.
Is this Miss Xu already married? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, remembering that she was asked outside the temple yesterday if she was married, she didn't speak, and she saw this bun today. I was even more puzzled. However, this woman is generous, listening to what she said, it seems that she has passed her twentieth decade, and it is not strange that she is married.
The only thing that is puzzling is that this Ye Gongzi is surrounded by a married woman all day long, isn't he afraid of gossip? Judging from the words and deeds of this Miss Xu yesterday. She still values her reputation. "Catch up with you, and dump you again", remembering yesterday's rhetoric. Lin Wanrong shook her head helplessly, it is not good to be a teacher!
"Madame's beauty is as beautiful as it was back then. It's also very happy to pass the ground, and Miss Xie cares. Lin Wanrong suppressed the doubts in her heart and replied.
Miss Xu nodded, walked a few steps forward with Ye Gongzi, and suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "This third prince, you are a member of the Xiao family." When you enjoy the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you are the one who watches the lanterns and guesses the riddles in the 'Cloud Coming Wonderland'? β
"Watching the lanterns and guessing the riddle? Oh, you said him, his surname is Lin, he is handsome and chic, talented, ten times more handsome than this Ye Gongzi! Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
Miss Xu smiled and said: "The simplicity of my riddles was originally intended to be guessed by everyone in the academy, and it was okay to calm their complaints, but I didn't expect to be taken the lead by the Xiao family's family, which is a bit surprising." β
Simple? You chick is deliberately angry with me, aren't you? What is the origin of this girl surnamed Xu, she holds an improved land chain in her hand, she is familiar with Luo Ning, and she also knows Mrs. Xiao, what does she do?
Ye Gongzi smiled and said: "When you wrote those riddles, I was also present, and I was still wondering why the riddle for Miss Wei this year was so simple, but I didn't expect that it was to take care of the brothers and sisters in the academy." Miss is exquisite, Ye can't admit it. β
Speechless! These two are working together to fight me. Miss Xu continued to move forward, and when she passed by Lin Wanrong's side, she suddenly said lightly: "Third son, it's good to be confident, but don't be too frivolous, like yesterday's words and deeds, the little woman hopes never to hear it again!" She walked briskly past him.
Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Miss Xu, are you married?" β
As if Miss Xu hadn't heard his words, she had already walked in the door, and Ye Gongzi suddenly turned her head and said, "You shouldn't ask, you don't ask." β
Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, looked at Miss Xu's back, and said loudly: "Miss Xu, what I said yesterday is still valid." β
Miss Xu's footsteps stopped, shook her head helplessly, and sighed: "There is nothing in the world, mediocrity disturbs itself!" β
She didn't care about the crazy words of the third son, and was about to enter the classroom, but saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy rushing out of it and said, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, it's not good, I was born with a vision!" β
"Cheng Dawei, what's wrong? What natural vision? Miss Xu said in surprise.
"Mr. Xu, look-" Cheng Dawei led Miss Xu and Ye Gongzi to the courtyard, only to see countless ants crowded densely, forming a big "sky" character on the ground. Although these ants are constantly crawling, they all move along the route of the sky. Cheng Dawei rolled his eyes and said, "Ants are in a clump, born with a vision!" Mr. Xu, how should this be explained? β
After Cheng Dawei, the students who were learning the number of mathematics had already rushed out, looking at the situation of ants gathering in front of them. Amazing.
Lin Wanrong was about to leave, but when she heard the shouts in the courtyard, she couldn't help but turn back again. Carefully observing the route of the ant crawling, and then looking at the ghost of the kid named Cheng Dawei, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but smile, this kid has a set!
Ye Gongzi looked at the situation in front of him, frowned, and said, "How can this ant automatically gather in a swarm, could it be really a sign from the sky?" β
Miss Xu shook her head and said: "There is no rootless water in the world, everything makes sense, and this ant colony gathers." There must be a special reason, not so much a vision from above. It's better to look closely. β
Miss Xu pulled her long skirt in her hand, slowly squatted down, and carefully observed the movement of the ants, with a focused and beautiful expression on her face.
Lin Wanrong secretly said to herself that she was surprised when she heard this, it was really amazing that a weak woman could have such insight and ability.
Miss Xu observed, and then stretched out her slender jade finger like a green onion, wrapping a piece of jade handkerchief. A few strokes on the ground. A few ants climbed up her kerchief, her body trembling slightly, and her face showed a little nervousness. The woman was naturally afraid of rats and ants, and it was no wonder that she bit her silver teeth, and a touch of red appeared on her face. Carefully dodging the ants, he continued to wipe the ground with a handkerchief.
After wiping it a few times, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on her face. He put the veil away and said with a smile, "Today." Did any of your classmates bring honey? β
A student said, "I saw Cheng Dawei bring honey, and I don't know what to do." β
Miss Xu smiled and said to Cheng Dawei: "Bring me the anti-honey candy." β
Cheng Dawei smiled embarrassedly, took out a small sealed jar, Miss Xu wrapped a wooden stick with a handkerchief, dipped it in some honey, and then wrote the word "heaven" on the ground! It's strange to say, after a while, the word newly written by Miss Xu is also black, and the omen has reappeared.
Everyone was surprised, Miss Xu nodded and smiled: "Cheng Dawei, this must be a good thing for you to do, right?" β
Cheng Dawei lowered his head and grinned embarrassedly: "Mr. Xu, you said that let's take a closer look at the things around us, and if we have new discoveries, we will share them with everyone." The last time you taught the example of the sub-germination overthrowing the boulder, I also personally verified it, and it turns out that it can really be done. β
Miss Xu smiled slightly: "I have also heard the story of the germination of seeds. In the city of Hangzhou, the White Lotus Sect used this trick to deceive the people, and was later exposed by a stranger, so that the people could be spared. All things are born with their own physics, as long as everyone observes and ponders carefully, they can always find out the law. Just like the honey agglomerate ant this time, if it weren't for Cheng Dawei's careful observation, everyone would not have learned this. Therefore, the principle of all things and the method of arithmetic are not useless learning, on the contrary, it is closely related to us, and like poetry, it is the treasure of my Dahua, and it is indispensable. β
Academic students, all of them really came out of interest, listening to Miss Xu's words, they immediately cheered, Lin Wanrong hid behind everyone, looking at the second miss in the crowd with excited red face, and suddenly there was a faint feeling of emotion in her heart. Enjoying the lantern riddles that day, I have seen Miss Xu's outstanding talent, and today I have seen her even more extraordinary. If nothing else, just by virtue of these words, this Miss Xu is worthy of the word "strange woman".
Miss Xu waited until everyone quieted down, and said with a smile: "Cheng Dawei's actions today have allowed us to learn the knowledge of Xindi, but it has also delayed the time to give lectures to everyone, so we need a small punishment." Cheng Dawei, don't you like that abacus technique? β
Cheng Dawei nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, do you want me to learn this?" β
Miss Xu smiled and said, "Not only do you want to learn, but you also need to be able to summarize some simple and easy-to-remember formulas, which can be handed over to everyone to learn together, so that you can learn well." You are observant and open-minded, believing that you can do it. β
A trace of gratitude flashed in the eyes of the young man named Cheng Dawei, and he said loudly: "Mr. Xu, thank you for believing in me." β
Miss Xu smiled and nodded, seeing that there was a beautiful woman who was not very old among the students, she suddenly exclaimed: "Are you the second lady of the Xiao family?" β
Yushuang said shyly: "Mr. Xu, I am Xiao Yushuang." β
Miss Xu happily took her hand and said, "Good sister, you are finally here, let's go in and talk quickly." β
The academic student happily entered the room, but only Cheng Dawei was still thinking hard. Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, what do you want?" β
Cheng Dawei was taken aback. When I looked up, it was a stranger, and I suddenly wondered, "Who are you?" Do I know you? β
Lin Wanrong grinned and said, "You don't know me, but you will definitely remember me." There are a few strange words that I don't understand. Can you explain it to me. β
Cheng Dawei was inexplicable, so he heard the stranger in front of him read: "Five goes to four, two goes to three...... Eight back one back five go to three, nine back one back five go to four! How's that, remember? β
Cheng Dawei was stunned when he heard it at first, but immediately understood something, and his surprised voice trembled a little: "This, this is the abacus trick?" No, no. Nine goes to one into one, how can it be counted as ten? β
Lin Wanrong shook her head and said, "I don't know what this is." I'll read it again, you remember, go back and study it carefully, maybe you can complete the task assigned by Miss Xu! β
Cheng Dawei didn't dare to speak, and listened to Lin Wanrong read it again, but he didn't dare to let go of a word. Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Xiao Cheng, do it well, there will be a success." β
Seeing that Cheng Dawei was still demented and reciting the mantra, Lin Wanrong didn't care about him anymore. Wiped the beads of sweat and walked out of the yard. It was a matter of elementary school to memorize this abacus mantra, and now I have forgotten several sentences, but with the cleverness of this Cheng Dawei, it is not difficult to infer a few sentences.
Anyway, he did a good deed today, he was happy, humming a little song and walking outside the gate of Jinghua College. From a distance, I saw two people walking on the opposite side, and they both knew each other.
The two of them were stunned when they saw him, and one of them rushed forward like a whirlwind. He said happily: "General Lin, General Lin." You're here. β
Lin Wanrong was surprised, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xu Zhen, why are you here?" Oh, little boy Li Wuling, we met again. It turned out that the one who walked with Xu Zhen turned out to be the child named Li Wuling who was fishing for lanterns by the river on the night of entering the city on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Li Wuling Qi said: "Lin San, why are you here?" Did someone bully you, and you came here to look for me? Why, didn't you report me the place name of Li Wuling? β
Lin Wanrong couldn't cry or laugh, Xu Zhen said excitedly: "General Lin, not only me, but also Li Sheng, Brother Du, and Brother Hu are all here, and it was Xu Dashuai who recommended us to study here." β
Learn? Immediately remembered that this Jinghua Academy also has a military theory subject, Xu Wei sent these people to study, it seems that he values them a lot.
These are all Lao Tzu leading soldiers, a burst of pride rose in his heart, and he looked Xu Zhen up and down with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, your kid has grown taller and stronger." This year, when you go to the battlefield to kill Hulu, it seems that you are indispensable. β
Xu Zhen straightened his chest and said: "That's natural, I, Xu Zhen, will die on the battlefield if I die." General Lin, Brother Hu, we are looking forward to you coming every day, and in a few months, we will go to kill the Hu people, with your leadership, we will all have the backbone, and this battle will be comfortable. β
Damn, this kid will say something that touches me. Thinking of those years in the army, Lin Wanrong missed it very much. Fighting the White Lotus is internal friction, no matter how well the battle is fought, there is nothing to be proud of, and it is the duty of a soldier to kill Hu talents. But if I really want to go to the battlefield to fight against Hu Lu, is this what Lin San did? What's more, there is Qing Xuan here! He was conflicted for a moment.
Xu Zhen didn't know his mood, so he pulled Li Wuling and said: "Wuling, this is what I told you, in the battle to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, General Lin led my right army to be invincible. β
Li Wuling listened to the two of them talking, and also understood a little, and when he heard Xu Zhendi's introduction, he looked him up and down, and said in disbelief: "You are Lin San, and you are also the general Lin who has made miraculous achievements?" β
Lin Wanrong smiled: "It's not like, isn't it?" Actually, this is my true color, I have always been very low-key. β
Li Wuling clapped his hands and said: "Very good, very good, you are a victorious general, everyone praises you, I will try my kung fu with you today, see if I am good, or you are good!" Let's go, let's goβ"
The others are small and big, and they have to move forward if they hold Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong was shocked into a cold sweat, why does this little ghost want to find someone else to compete at every turn, he said he wanted to find his grandfather last time, but this time he wants to find me? Compete with this kid, win, say it's a big bully, lose, and be demoted to a child who can't even beat a child.
Lin Wanrong glanced at Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, obviously there was no way to take Li Wuling. Lin Wanrong said helplessly: "Little boy Li." This, I'm not good at embroidering legs. What I want is a real knife and a real gun, even if it is injured under your knife, I have no complaints-bah, what is injured under your knife, on the contrary, if you are injured under my knife, you don't complain. β
What kind of child is this Li Wuling, why do you like to fight so much? He said to Xu Zhen: "Which landlord is this?" β
Xu Zhen's face was serious: "This little brother Li Wuling is the only grandson of the old general Li Tai of the current dynasty. β
"Li Tai? Who is Li Tai? Lin Wanrong said softly.
As soon as this statement came out. Not only Xu Zhen's eyes widened, but even Li Wuling, who had been pestering him, stopped making trouble. The two looked at him together, a look of disbelief on their faces.
Xu Zhen swallowed his saliva and said, "General Lin, no, you haven't heard of the prestige of Old General Li Tai?" β
Lin Wanrong smiled embarrassedly and said: "I grew up in a poor country, I really haven't heard of it, is this old general Li Tai very prestigious?" Well, just hearing this name is extraordinary enough, and of course, the name of Li Wuling's little son is not bad. Sure enough, the tiger master has no dog grandson! β
Li Wuling clapped his hands and smiled: "Great, great, there is finally a person who doesn't know Grandpa's name." lest he bully me in the future and say, "I, Li Tai, have been loyal and good for several generations, guarding the border passes, and have a great reputation." Who in the world doesn't know, even your little things can't be cleaned up? β
Xu Zhen didn't know what to say anymore, and he didn't even know the first general of the Dahua Dynasty. How did this General Lin get mixed into the army, and how did he win the battle? It's incredible.
I can't bear to be so embarrassed by my peak and idol. Xu Zhen smiled dryly and said, "General Lin doesn't know anything. This veteran general Li Tai has been in the army for generations since his ancestors, guarding the border passes for thousands of miles. Twenty years ago, General Li Tai personally led 50,000 elite soldiers to take the Hu people's tent and kill the enemy commander. General Li is a strong martial artist and proficient in the art of war, and he is the first military general in my Dahuadi, and his prestige is so high that no one can beat him. Not only that, the Li family has been loyal and good for generations, and the eldest son of General Li-"
Speaking of this, Xu Zhen secretly glanced at Li Wuling and continued: "The eldest son is the generalissimo of the garrison border pass, and on the day his wife gave birth, he fought fiercely with the Hu people for seven days and seven nights, and sacrificed his life heroically, leaving only orphans and widows!" β
Li Wuling gritted his teeth, tears flashed in his eyes, and he waved his fist and said, "What are you talking about?" Death is death, go into battle to kill the enemy, how can there be no sacrifice without sacrifice. He's dead, and I'm still there! I'm dead, and my son. The people of my Li family can't fight, they can't kill endlessly, the Hu people are desperate, and my Li family won't fall! β
Lin Wanrong understood, this is Li Wuling, no wonder this kid is so competitive, he patted Li Wuling on the shoulder, and couldn't say a word.
Xu Zhen continued: "The second son of the old general, as a border general, was also ambushed by the Hu people eight years ago and died in ten thousand arrows!" It's a pity that he has been on the border for many years, but he has never even seen the face of his fiancΓ©e-" Speaking of this, Xu Zhen was already a little choked: "General Li's family, protecting the country and defending the lord, has been loyal and good for generations, and its reputation has spread all over the world, and it is the idol of my Dahua sergeant. β
Lin Wanrong nodded emphatically, what else can he say, this is the God of War! With such a backbone, Dahua can not be bullied by foreigners and stand tall!
He himself is a little embarrassed, such a loyal and good general, he doesn't even know him, he is really lonely and unheard. Seeing Li Wuling's expression of grief and indignation, and his little fist was about to be crushed, Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Li Wuling, don't you want to compete with me on the horse, so what are you waiting for?" β
Li Wuling looked up at him in surprise: "Lin San-General Lin, what you said is true?" β
Lin Wanrong nodded, laughed loudly and said, "How can there be jokes in the army? Li Wuling, for the sake of the Li family's generational loyalty, no matter who you face, you can't lose, understand? β
"Understood! General Lin, I'm going to defeat you! Li Wuling roared, pounced in front of Lin Wanrong, and smashed his fist into his chest......
