Today is Chung Yeung Festival.

There is a strong festive atmosphere in Qianjiazhuang.

Qian Liangdong ordered the steward of the Qian Mansion to prepare a gift for all the elderly farmers in the village.

The steward Qian Dongyang stood in the study and said to Qian Liangdong: "Master, the gifts have been arranged to be sent by manpower." By noon tomorrow, every household will be able to report a list of guards who will watch over the village every day. According to your orders, the people on the list will be in charge of Ah Hu. ”

Qian Liangdong put down the brush in his hand and said, "Okay, in the days to come, we can't be as slack as before." Every month, after the village is busy with farm work, they have to go to the school to practice martial arts. On weekdays, if there is any face in the field, you must keep an eye on me and report to me at any time. In case I'm not there, you'll let Ah Hu deal with it. Since they can all find out about Old Master Shi's mansion, it won't be far from us. ”

Qian Dongyang said: "Understood, master, what about our tea business with Shifu...... Would you like to hold off for a moment? ”

Qian Liangdong thought for a moment and said: "The business dealings on tea are still the same. If we suddenly stop doing business with them, we will be suspicious. ”

Qian Dongyang said: "Yes! Or the old man is thoughtful. ”

……

Xu Yikou was reprimanded by Qian Liangdong the day before the exam.

Because the day before yesterday, the town's doctor Ma Dadai saw Hu Jingtong.

The blue ash in Hu Jingtong's eyes surprised Dr. Ma.

Doctor Ma immediately asked, "Miss Xu didn't sleep well at night?" ”

Hu Jingtong shook his head and said, "I can actually sleep, but there are too few hours to sleep well." ”

Doctor Ma said: "It's very inappropriate to sleep badly, so I'll prescribe a prescription for Miss Xu to regulate her body, and Miss Xu must remember to rest well." ”

Hu Jingtong said: "Okay. Thank you, Doctor! ”

After Dr. Ma informed Qian Liangdong of the results of the consultation, Qian Liangdong took the prescription prescribed by Dr. Ma and rushed to the tea room at the entrance of the village to yell at Xu Yikao fiercely.

Xu Yikao was also afraid that the little lord would be ill, so he immediately took the prescription and went to the village pharmacy to grab the medicine.

The small pharmacy in the village can't get that much medicine.

Xu Yikao rode his horse to Changnan Town again to grab medicine.

In this way, the medicine is complete.

Qian Liangdong saw that his pharmacy still had missing medicines, so he immediately asked the steward to arrange the replenishment and stockpiling of the pharmacy.

Hu Jingtong now has to study the art of war at home in addition to the courses in the private school every day.

After the art of war class is over, she will be dragged by Xu Yikao to the school field in the back mountain to practice martial arts.

Anyway, her martial arts and military skills have not grown at all, and the dark circles under her eyes are getting better and better.

Xu Yikao saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but he told himself that he couldn't be soft-hearted, he had to be strict with the little master, the so-called "strict teacher makes a high apprentice".

Therefore, even if Hu Jingtong was so tired that her face turned yellow and her eyes turned gray day by day, Xu Yikao was still very strict with her.

According to Hu Jingtong's character, of course, she can't "sit still".

She went from "stomach trouble" and "headache" at the beginning to "lying down directly" and even "running away from home".

The ancient ecosystem is too good.

There are often fierce beasts in the wilderness around Qianjiazhuang, so although Hu Jingtong made a scene of running away from home, she didn't dare to run too far in the end.

Xu Yikao can always easily catch her home and sneak her to the mountains to practice martial arts.

So, in the last few nights, when she was practicing martial arts in the school grounds, she fainted for no reason for various reasons, and then she "shamelessly" lay in the center of the school field and fell asleep.

At the same time, she had "unfriendly consultations" with Xu Yikao almost every day on the issue of her course arrangement.

From the moment he got "Lingshuang" and "Huaqing", Hu Jingtong vaguely found that Xu Qiuliang's identity seemed to be a little different.

She is an ordinary village girl on the surface, and her grandfather works as a small foreman in the tea room of the Qian family at the entrance of the village.

But her true identity should be very simple, and even her status may be extremely respectable.

Otherwise, who can't think of an ancient patriarch would force his granddaughter to learn the art of war and practice martial arts every day?

In ancient times, it was most normal for ordinary female dolls to learn female red.

In addition, Hu Jingtong has been in this era for some days.

Through "tireless" exploration, she found that Xu Yikao had deceived her.

Because......

First, since the new emperor ascended the throne (the empress dowager listened to the government), the saint advocated equality between men and women. Women can indeed go to public schools to study, and they can indeed register for the imperial examination. However, when the new policy is actually implemented at the local level, it is three words: "no way".

Second, although the new emperor (empress dowager) advocates equality between men and women, the actual situation is that men and women cannot be equal at all. A man can still have three wives and four concubines. There is still no qualitative change in the state of women's existence.

Third, that is, there is no Wang Cai from the next village who wants to accept her as a concubine.

It is true that Xu Yikao's starting point for lying is good, and he wants to motivate Hu Jingtong to study hard and make progress every day.

But when Hu Jingtong learned about these actual situations, he suddenly became a little discouraged.

She sat on the edge of the dining table in her kitchen and sighed softly, her thoughts in her head were like a bunch of tangled and disorganized wires, how to solve them or mess up.

Hu Jingtong said: What should I do to make a fortune?

Xu Yikao took a bowl of Chinese medicine and put it in front of Hu Jingtong and said, "Girl, drink this medicine." Grandpa is not good, these days are tired of you, right? ”

Hu Jingtong took a sip of the Chinese medicine and frowned, and said, "I know that grandpa is also looking forward to me being able to make a living." It's that I'm not good enough to work hard. Grandpa, can I just learn the art of war first? Martial arts...... I really don't like it. ”

Xu Yikao glanced at Hu Jingtong, his heart was full of pity, and he said in his heart: This girl's appearance is indeed a lot haggard! I'm such an old fool.

He said, "All right! Then it is up to you, for three months from today, you will only learn the art of war, not martial arts. The matter of practicing martial arts, I will talk about it when your body is better. ”

"Thank you, grandpa!"

Hu Jingtong happily hugged Xu Yikao.

"My dear grandson! Thanks what! ”

Xu Yikao was so excited that he burst into tears.

I'm sorry for you! O my little lord!

How nice it would be if you were really my own granddaughter!

I can help you find a good family to marry you, so that you can have something to rely on for the rest of your life.

We can live our lives as ordinarily as we do every day.

How nice that would be!

Late at night.

Changnan Town.

Outside the side door of the Stone Mansion.

After a man in black looked left and right, he knocked on the side door of the stone mansion.

It was a night curfew, and the servants on duty did not open the door.

The servant whispered through the door, "Which one is the audacity to knock on the door of our stone mansion? The curfew hasn't passed yet! ”

"I'm Lu Ning." The man in black looked around vigilantly and replied in a low voice, "I want to see you Master Shi." ”

"Lu Ning? Want to see Master Shi in the middle of the night? The servant had never heard the name "Lu Ning", so he said coldly, "Hmph! Wait outside until dawn. ”

The servant whispered to the other servant on duty, "Go and find a few of the guards on duty tonight." ”
