After a friendly exchange with Xiahou's housekeeper, the two newcomers to the General's Mansion left with a spring breeze on their faces, and Gao Zhiming at this time already admired Li Mingyuan.

At this time, Li Mingyuan also knew a little about Gao Zhiming, it turned out that Gao Zhiming's father was a personal soldier under Xiahou Yong, and he also made military exploits when he was young, and later Gao Zhiming's son took over his father's position and also joined the army.

After a simple exchange, the two went their separate ways, but this friendship was formed.

As soon as he returned to his small courtyard, Li Mingyuan saw a pretty maid standing at the door, with a slight shyness on her blushing baby face, and her crimson little face still couldn't hide her delicate skin.

"Aha, brother just came, a beautiful woman took the initiative to find us, it seems that my charm is still quite good!" Whether it is in the past life or in this life, there are only a handful of the opposite sex around Li Mingyuan, and today there is a beautiful woman who took the initiative to find him, hehe, he is really a little excited.

Li Mingyuan smoothed his hair and straightened his clothes, and then strode towards the girl with steady steps.

After the little girl who was already flushed saw Li Mingyuan walking towards her with an evil smile, she became even more shy, and her chin was so low that she was about to touch her chest.

"Little girl, who are you looking for?" Li Mingyuan thought that he couldn't surprise the beauty, so he looked serious when he spoke.

Probably because there are few opportunities for men, the little girl hung her head shyly and said nervously, "I am the old lady's maid, and the old lady asked me to find the new Li Mingyuan!" ”

"Feelings are not for beautiful women to take the initiative to find me!" Li Mingyuan was instantly lost. But such a cute little girl, if you don't flirt with it, you'll be so sorry for yourself.

"Ah, are you looking for Li Mingyuan? Is it the wanderer who resounded through the Jade Gate Pass? Li Mingyuan said shamelessly.

"I, I don't know what to do!" Hearing the ridicule in Li Mingyuan's words, the little maid was about to cry.

"Eh, beauty, don't cry, I am Li Mingyuan, who is loved by everyone, flowers bloom, beauty and wisdom coexist, hero and chivalrous incarnation!" Li Mingyuan couldn't see the girl crying the most, so he hurriedly showed his identity.

The little girl who was about to shed tears was interrupted by Li Mingyuan, and she couldn't cry or laugh, and after glaring at her fiercely, she said angrily, "The old lady has something to say to you, come with me quickly!" ”

The little maid lowered her head and led the way in front, and Li Mingyuan followed behind with a big grin, not to mention, the girl in this year is Shui Ling, unlike in her previous life, she wore heavy makeup and light makeup, and she was not pure at all.

The old lady lives in a small courtyard to the east of the back house, which seems very quiet compared to the bustle and noise of the front house. Withered vines, old trees, flowing water, it looks a bit depressed.

"Let's go in, the old lady is waiting for you inside!" The maid walked to the door and stopped, signaling Li Mingyuan to go in alone.

"Pretty little sister, won't you go in with me?" Li Mingyuan said scoundrel-style.

"The old lady only let you in alone!" The little maid heard others praise her beauty, and she was still quite beautiful in her heart, but she seemed to be afraid of the old lady, so she explained in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll go in first, you're waiting for me here!" When Li Mingyuan saw the pink little face, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch it, startling the little girl, and when he reacted, Li Mingyuan had already turned around and entered the house.

Compared with the small courtyard where Li Mingyuan lived, Lao Taijun's house was slightly larger, with a lot of various furniture, and the room was also filled with a faint fragrance, which was very similar to the smell of believers in the temple giving incense to the Buddha.

Li Mingyuan walked to the main hall and found that the old lady was kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva and reciting the Diamond Sutra, looking very pious. Li Mingyuan also stood aside with interest.

I don't know how long it took, the old lady finally stopped chanting, opened her eyes, and wanted to get up. Li Mingyuan, who was on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to help.

After the old lady got up with Li Mingyuan's support, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Eh, old man, it's useless, you still need someone to help you get up."

"What is the old lady talking about, you are so young and in good health, if I want you to recite the Diamond Sutra for so long, I guess it is not as good as you!" Li Mingyuan was shamelessly patted on the back.

The old lady was originally just a casual emotion, but it didn't make Li Mingyuan say quite gratifying, no one doesn't want to be healthy, not to mention that she has a grandson, she still wants to watch her grandson marry a wife and have children.

"Mingyuan, sit down!" After the old lady sat down on the throne, he spoke.

"In front of the old lady, how can I sit as a junior, besides, we young people stand more, it's good for the body!" Li Mingyuan became more and more respectful.

Seeing his resolute attitude, the old lady did not force it, but she was more satisfied with this young man in her heart.

"Listen to Yong'er, are you alone now?" The old lady began to get to the point.

"Yes, old lady, Mingyuan originally had three older brothers, but they all sacrificed their lives for the country, and their parents were also hit hard and passed away one after another!" Li Mingyuan was a little uncomfortable, although this body was not his own, but people have feelings.

Although he had already known Li Mingyuan's life experience in advance, when he heard him say it in person at this moment, the old lady still sighed for a while.

"Mingyuan, the hatred of the country and the family can't be forgotten!" The old lady is obviously also a loyal person.

"Mingyuan remembers the teachings of the old lady!" Li Mingyuan said unswervingly.

Looking at Li Mingyuan, who was a talent, the old lady loved it very much, "Listen to Yong'er, you still have a talent and fame?" ”

"Yes, old lady!"

"Have you ever thought about taking the township test?"

"I didn't think about it!"

"Why not? Once you pass the township exam, you are a lifter! is also half an official master, not much better than being a rough man who dances a knife and a gun! ”

"Doesn't the old lady hear that he is useless and is a scholar? Chivalry is mostly from the slaughter of dogs, and the negative heart is often a reader? What's more, now that I am embattled in Dahua, how can I read these useless broken books again, abandon my pen and follow Rong, and protecting the territory and the people is Mingyuan's pursuit! Li Mingyuan's words were high-sounding and righteous, which made the old lady nod again and again.

The old lady was very satisfied, but she still said with a serious face, "Mingyuan, it's good that you have this heart, but you must not read the book, so let's do it, if you don't have my instructions in the future, you don't want to do anything else, just concentrate on reading for me and preparing for the township exam." If you get in, I'll be rewarded, and if you can't pass the exam, I'll lock you up in the house until the next time you get in! ”

"Ah, no, old lady, I don't want to take the exam!" Li Mingyuan was dumbfounded instantly, this is not in line with the plot, shouldn't the old lady at this time be confused by himself and then entrust himself with a heavy responsibility? Why don't you want me to work and want me to study?
