"Wang Ba Wang Baoyu!" The little servant was obviously stunned, but he didn't dare to accept Wang Baoyu's copper coin, turned around and walked inside, and said at the same time: "Wait a minute!" I'm going to go to Mr. Tongyu. ”

The contrast between before and after is too great! Wang Baoyu couldn't figure it out for a while, but Huoya saw the clue and explained: "You are dressed no different from me now, so he naturally doesn't recognize you." ”

It turned out that it was because of the dress of this little guy that he was not taken seriously, and it seems that when he came here before, he also had a good outfit, and he was dressed like Zhuge Liang.

The sound of the piano in the courtyard stopped abruptly, and a few minutes later, a thin and withered old man came out in the company of the servant, his robe was loose and loose on his body, the old man's eyes were not big, but he was extraordinarily attentive, his two eyebrows were short and thick, but there was a bit of momentum, his beard was not long, and his chin was a little pointed.

"This is Mr. Water Mirror." Huo Ya reminded in a low voice.

"Hello Mr. Shuijing!" Wang Baoyu hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Baoyu, don't come to harm, why are you dressed like this?" Mr. Shui Jing looked confused.

"I encountered robbers on the road and was robbed of my clothes." Wang Baoyu lied.

"Alas, when will the troubled times end, just wait for the thunder on the ground." Mr. Shui Jing sighed.

Follow Mr. Shuijing all the way into the courtyard, there are bamboo forests everywhere, there are clusters of flowers and plants, the corridor is paved with smooth stone slabs, the door side of the two-story building, there is a stone table, on which there is a rather old guqin, it seems that the old gentleman is here to play the qin to relieve boredom.

When he came to the door, Mr. Shui Jing instructed the little servant to lead the fire girl to eat and rest, but he took Wang Baoyu into the small building.

The hall is unusually spacious, there are hundreds of square meters, horizontal rows, vertical columns, there are a lot of desk wooden benches, there is a slightly higher platform in front of it, there is a very wide wooden table on it, the bamboo slips and books on it are piled up in a big pile, and on the high wall opposite, there are four big characters hanging: Wen to govern the country!

This should be the school where Mr. Shuijing teaches, and the four big characters of "governing the country with literature" show that Mr. Shuijing's Sima Hui, under the seemingly modest and calm appearance, hides huge political ambitions.

Facts have proved that Wang Baoyu's judgment was not wrong, and many of Sima Hui's students played an indispensable role in the later Three Kingdoms disputes, including Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, as well as Pang Tong, who was commensurate with Mr. Shuijing's brothers.

Mr. Shuijing sat down on it, beckoned Wang Baoyu to sit down as well, and after the little servant settled the fire, he ran in again and served two cups of tea.

"Baoyu, your father Wang Lian also studied under me, and his talent is immeasurable, but I don't know where I am today, it's a pity." Mr. Shui Jing took a sip of tea and spoke.

Of course, Wang Baoyu understood that this was Mr. Shuijing's politeness, but in his memory, he didn't remember any record of his father Wang Lian in history, so he humbly arched his hand and said: "Mr. praised it falsely, the talent of my father is less than one-twelfth of Mr. ”

I can't help but say that the power of praise is strong, and Mr. Shui Jing's face also showed a smug look, and he asked, "How is Mr. Kong Ming doing?" ”

"I am still diligently studying the words of the saints every day, just waiting for the day to rise in the wind." Wang Baoyu said crepe.

"Good! Among my students, Kong Mingzhi's talent far surpasses others, but it is a pity that he is hesitant to do things, and his wife has a domineering temperament. Mr. Shui Jing made a judgment on Zhuge Liang, which did not sound optimistic about Zhuge Liang's meaning.

Wang Baoyu had the heart to protect Huang Yueying, and said: "Mrs. is smart and hardworking, and it is rare among women. ”

"A woman's lack of talent is virtue, and it is her duty to run a family." Mr. Shui Jing said disapprehantly.

Wang Baoyu sighed secretly, in ancient times, even if women were talented, most of them were useless, which was not comparable to the modern society where men and women are equal.

It can only be said that Huang Yueying was born at the wrong time, of course Wang Baoyu remembered the purpose of this trip, got up and stepped forward, and handed Zhuge Liang's letter and the piece of silver.

"Sir, I came this time because I was entrusted by Mr. Kong Ming, Mr. Kong Ming remembered Mr. Kong's birthday, and sent me to send a congratulatory gift."

"Good! Kong Ming knows etiquette very well, and it will be of great use. Mr. Shui Jing praised it, spread out the letter written on the white cloth and looked at it, and kept nodding his head in appreciation: "This calligraphy is getting better and better." ”

But when he squinted at the piece of silver, his face showed a slight look of disappointment, and he didn't say anything, but waved his hand to let the servant standing on the side put it away.

The money fan is obviously disgusted, and Wang Baoyu secretly despises it. But it is also understandable, Mr. Shui Jing has so many gorgeous and rich disciples, and there are countless dignitaries and nobles who admire him, and there is no shortage of gold and silver in the family.

It's not too early to look outside, but Wang Baoyu is wondering in his heart, why hasn't Liu Bei come yet, it can't be that the little boy has collected the money and doesn't do anything, there is a variable in the middle!

If that's the case, this plan will be completely disrupted, compared to Zhuge Liang, Mr. Shui Jing is equivalent to Bole, without his recommendation, Zhuge Liang is useless even if he is a thousand miles.

Wang Baoyu didn't know that Liu Bei, who almost lost his life, walked away for a while, and due to the hot weather, most of his clothes were dry, so he urged Lu Ma under his crotch to walk forward quickly.

The little boy came to the place Wang Baoyu said and waited for a while, but he didn't see Liu Bei, so he guessed that Liu Bei must have left this place.

I can't help but say that Wang Baoyu is still lucky, although the little boy is greedy for money, but in the end he was trained by Mr. Shuijing, and he is very trustworthy, so he rode a crazy ox and chased ten miles to the north before finally catching up with Liu Bei.

The boy rode the ox up a slope and sped up to get ahead of Liu Bei, and then the ox jumped down from a high place and "coincidentally" appeared in front of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was stunned, and sighed that there was such a sacred cow in the world, so he knew that the child was extraordinary, and the child followed what Wang Baoyu taught, and after saying those words, Liu Bei really had a strong interest in Mr. Shuijing.

Besides, Wang Baoyu, there is no sentence to talk to Mr. Shuijing, after Mr. Shuijing received the money, his attitude was not very enthusiastic, just a kind of coping, occasionally yawning, in exchange for a general acquaintance, it should be said that Mr. is tired, leave or retire by himself.

But Wang Baoyu was worried about Liu Bei's visit, so he made up his mind to gamble that Liu Bei would definitely come, so he opened his mouth and said to Mr. Shui Jing: "Sir, I see that the yellow light on your forehead is lingering, and there will be a distinguished guest visiting tonight." ”

Mr. Shui Jing was slightly stunned, a character like him, naturally read a lot of books, knew that Wang Baoyu was showing him a look, and asked suspiciously: "How do you know the way of this warlock?" ”
