Chapter 31: Parting
Chang Qing brought the frightened Xiao Lingran back to the room, Nian Xin refused to go back to the room, crying and clamoring to sleep with Xiao Lingran, it may be that today she showed off her skills and captured the heart of the little fan girl...... But Xiao Lingran was a little difficult, I don't know if he was shocked by his own ability, or if those few words about the charred corpse were too scary...... Even when she lay on the bed, it was pitch black around her, and she couldn't sleep, looking at the top of her head with her eyes open, and she couldn't sleep all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Tu Ye was very enthusiastic, and ran to Xiao Lingran's door with a big bowl of three fresh noodles.
"Knock knock~" Tu Ye held a big bowl in one hand and knocked on the door with one hand.
"Come in......" Xiao Lingran spread out on the bed with a somewhat listless look.
Tu Ye opened the door, put his face on the square table next to Xiao Lingran's bed, and looked at Xiao Lingran with a smile, almost not scared to death by her appearance.
"Why are you so pale, and your two dark circles are so heavy...... I thought you were some kind of female ghost who sucks people's yang energy! It scares me so much! β
"Hey......" Xiao Lingran sighed, the usual appearance of Sahuan no longer existed, only a sullen bitter gourd face remained.
"What's wrong with you?" Tu Ye asked.
"I actually set such a big fire yesterday......" Xiao Ling said weakly.
"yes, what's wrong? It's already very powerful for you to be able to wield such a big flame at your age, and if you can do it during the audition, I guarantee that you will be able to pass the level smoothly! Tu Ye patted her on the shoulder and praised her.
"It's not...... I mean, those people ......" Xiao Lingran thought of the four people who had been scorched by himself again.
Tu Ye suddenly realized, comforted her and said: "This world is the survival of the strong, if you hadn't used a spell at that time, the people who died now would be you and Nianxin, they wouldn't be so kind to you to let you go......" After speaking, Xiao Lingran seemed to have improved a little.
"Oh, don't think about these things, even if you don't do it today, in the future, when you enter the fairy gate, you will often catch monsters and kill monsters, in this world, no one has clean hands......" Tu Ye said, his tone became more and more serious.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, look at the noodles I brought you today, but I waited in a long line to buy them, and if I don't eat noodles, I will have to pay for them!" Tu Ye urged, brought the noodles over again, and handed the chopsticks to Xiao Lingran.
"It's so fragrant......" Xiao Lingran held the chopsticks, staring at this bowl of noodles with rich side dishes with bright eyes, sure enough, it is definitely not Xiao Lingran's style to put food and not eat it.
After all, the world is big, and eating is the biggest......
Just when Xiao Lingran was still lying in bed, Chang Qing was invited to go home by Fu Yuan early, and Bai Ci also told him that there was something at home, so he took the first step and left Xiao Lingran and them to rest in the inn. Xiao Lingran finished eating the noodles with satisfaction, his heart was very comfortable, and his body felt a little tired, so he covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep......
In the University Scholar's Mansion -
When you enter the door, you will be shocked by the scene in front of you, this is really too big, the naked eye can see the house to the house, the yard to the yard, there is a garden and a pool, just a study is the size of Xiao Lingran's house, worthy of being a university scholar, really rich...... When Chang Qing came in, he was also shocked, after all, in his heart, Fu Yuan should be the kind of resourceful person who is money as dung, and should have the loftiness and pride of some literati and scholars, but Fu Yuan is just the opposite...... He has a very heroic temperament, and he doesn't say some awkward and esoteric things when communicating with people, but he is much easier to get along with directly.
"You don't need to be inhibited, just treat it as your own home!" Fu Yuan and Chang Qing sat on their knees face to face, and Chang Qing lowered his head and was a little nervous.
"Yes......" Changqing replied.
"Harm...... You're a man! It's really like those weak scholars, hahahaha! Fu Yuan quipped and poured him another cup of tea. In the past, I wanted to talk to my friends, and I always liked to drink, but I knew that you definitely couldn't drink, so I just drank tea with you! β
"Scholar Fu Yuan is really a man of temperament." Chang Qing said, picking up the teacup and saluting Fu Yuan.
"By the way, I saw you seem to be very familiar with medicinal herbs before, I wonder how you can distinguish these things?" Fu Yuan asked.
Chang Qing replied: "I have studied with my master since I was a child, my master is proficient in medical skills, and he is naturally familiar with medicinal materials, so I have also learned a lot from my master, but if I really learn more than this aspect...... It's got to be my little sister who is even better. β
Fu Yuan laughed, "I know, it's the little girl who came with you, I see her eccentric appearance, it's very pleasing." After hearing this, Chang Qing also smiled slightly.
"You are so knowledgeable, what ambitions do you have?" Fu Yuan looked at Chang Qing, waiting for his answer.
"I've always admired you, so I want to be like you." Chang Qing also looked at Fu Yuan, his eyes were very resolute.
Fu Yuan smiled and asked, "Oh, if you want to be a person like me, what kind of person do you think I am?" β
Chang Qing thought for a moment and replied, "I thought that you would be a very noble and withdrawn scholar, like other literati...... But I didn't expect you to have such a straightforward personality and be very approachable, which made me admire ......"
"Hahaha, my other friends often say that I don't look like a scholar at all, but like a country man who only begs for wine!"
But Chang Qing knew that the scholar was an upright man, and he always looked at the suffering of the people in his eyes, unlike other people...... So, in the next long time, I want to be like you. Chang Qing said.
Fu Yuan took a sip of tea and said to him meaningfully: "I thought that what would you say is to have a clean breeze on your sleeves, not to be greedy for fame and fortune, but to use your own articles and poems to attack the sins of those people!" β
Chang Qing immediately shook his head, "These thoughts were only available to me when I was a teenager, and now I think about it a little immature." β
Fu Yuan nodded and looked at him with a smile, but he was happy to hear what he had to say. Chang Qing continued: "The literati and Moshi used poetry to express their emotions and avenge the people, and I want to do something more useful...... Just as you often advise the emperor to make the right choice, I will also be an honest and honest official, loyal to the people and the emperor. β
"Hahahaha, good! I really didn't misunderstand you, although your temperament is very similar to those weak scholars, but your heart is different from theirs! You have ambitions and ambitions, and these are not for yourself, and I appreciate you. Fu Yuan seemed to be very happy, and Chang Qing saluted.
"My life has been bitter and sweet, although there is no shortage of friends around me, but I always feel lonely...... The stinky girl in my family looks quiet and knowledgeable, but in fact, she has the same temperament as your sister behind her back, which really annoys me a lot. Fu Yuan said, "It's better to ...... Would you like to be my protΓ©gΓ©? β
Chang Qing couldn't believe his ears, Fu Yuan patted him: "Look at you like this, hahaha, what, don't you want to?" β
"No, it's not! I ......" Chang Qing pursed his lips: "I am just flattered in Xia, and I am a student who can be a university scholar, and I am dreaming of it!" Chang Qing hurriedly explained.
Fu Yuan looked at his tangled appearance, and laughed again: "You are here with me, it just so happens that the girl in my family has been very bored recently, you can also be her playmate." β
"Stay here, ......?" Chang Qing hesitated.
"That's right, you are studying in my house, and if you have any doubts, you can come and ask me in time...... Of course, sometimes when I go out to work, you can also follow, just practice, after all, you are also a person who wants to be an official, if some customs and rules are not clear, it is difficult to gain a foothold in officialdom......" Fu Yuan looked at Chang Qing with a tangled face, and added:
"After all, when you soar one day, you can make them live a good life...... I know you can't rest assured at home, why don't you go back and talk to them first? β
Chang Qing nodded, agreeing with his opinion: "Okay...... Then I'll go back first. β
Fu Yuan nodded: "Go ahead......"
It was already afternoon, Xiao Lingran and Yao Lao had already returned to the Medicine King Pavilion, and they were still thinking about when Chang Qing would come back, but they said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would arrive......
"I'm ......," Chang Qing stood there dumbfounded.
Yao Lao heard the sound and searched: "Chang Qing is back, come in, what are you doing standing there." Nianxin also ran over, holding Changqing's hand and walking in, but Changqing was unmoved, Nianxin looked at Changqing suspiciously, and muttered: "Brother, let's go......"
"Brother Changqing, what do you want, come in?" Xiao Lingran also noticed that something was wrong, holding the bow newly bought by Banxia in his hand, and spoke.
"I'm here...... Scholar Fu Yuan said that he wanted to accept me as an apprentice. "Evergreen doesn't know how to organize language anymore,
"Isn't that a good thing, I thought something was wrong." Banxia said with a smile, still grabbing the bow with Xiao Lingran in his hand.
"I ...... I may not be able to stay with everyone anymore. β
Yao Lao stopped and asked, "What do you mean by that?" β
"I may have to stay with the scholars to study, so I can't ...... with you" Chang Qing was a little entangled.
Banxia and Xiao Lingran both stopped what they were doing, a little at a loss. Yao Lao smiled and comforted: "I thought it was a big deal, go ahead!" You're so old, you should work hard for your life...... Didn't you want to learn from him since you were a child, and you have to take advantage of the opportunity. β
Chang Qing nodded gratefully, and Yao Lao asked again, "When are you going to leave?" β
"Just today."
"Oh...... Then I won't keep you any longer, don't let the teacher wait, you ...... Go for it. Yao Lao said with his hands behind his back.
Nianxin seemed to understand, grabbed his hand and cried and didn't let him go, Xiao Lingran hugged Nianxin over.
"Master, Banxia, Xing'er, you ...... Take extra care. Chang Qing choked up a little, "Xing'er, we have to work together." β
Xiao Lingran nodded, Banxia's eyes were a little moist, but he still smiled, Yao Lao was a little reluctant but still drove him out. The road down the mountain is very narrow, the road home is very wide, and in the quiet mountain, only the cry of Nianxin can be heard, because only children can simply express their true feelings, and adults choose to be silent......
