"Xiang Lu used to be a teacher of Confucius, and Jing Gong sneered at Zizhan. The first person is humble and good, and the knowledge is boundless. "It's a young man's voice coming from inside the private school.

Huzi smiled when he heard this, knocked lightly on the door twice, and without waiting for the people inside to answer, he raised his feet and went in. He greeted the gentleman who was teaching inside: "Mr. Lang, you don't teach, but you talk about books instead?" Whether you are a storyteller or a gentleman, you earn more than you teach. ”

This poem is a set poem, from the "Warning World", "Wang Anshi's Three Difficulties Su Bachelor", legend has it that Wang Anshi wrote to Su Dongpo, satirizing his arrogance. This poem Huzi often heard in the library, so he said Lang Yunshu, this is not teaching, but talking about books.

Lang Yunshu turned his head, and saw Huzi smiled bitterly and made a gesture: "Xiao Engong, you are laughing, but it is just to teach the schoolchildren that they should be modest and cautious, and don't be complacent if they have a little achievement." I don't know why Xiao Engong came today? ”

Huzi spread out the fox skin in his hand and said, "My uncle put a few clips in the back mountain, caught two foxes, and stripped them off. My master read that Liu Lao has rheumatism in his legs and feet, and now that he is about to have spring again, he can't stand it after a few rains, so he sent me a piece over. ”

"Okay, little Engong, please come back to the court." Lang Yunshu stretched out his hand, and Huzi didn't say anything polite to him, and went straight to the back hall past him. It's just that when I passed by, I glanced at the place where the dog used to sit. Now sitting there is a **-year-old child, so shabby and dilapidated tables and chairs.

Entering the back hall, it is a small tea room. Liu Lao was making tea on the side, and An Xien was holding a book and flipping through it. Huzi pouted with his teeth, before he came, he had thought about seeing Miss An, and he really took a look, but he was still panicked.

The matter has come to this point, so I can only step forward and salute: "Huzi has seen Liu Lao, I have seen Miss An, and the two are auspicious." ”

"Yo! What kind of wind blew Mr. Xiao Peng here? Liu Lao smiled when he saw Huzi, "What a rare guest!" I'm not teaching now, and your master doesn't want to come to see me, so you have to talk to him more when you go back this time. ”

Huzi arched his hand: "Old Liu, my master is really entangled in mundane affairs, and he can't come anywhere." But he thinks of you, old man. No, ask me to send you a piece of skin, just to make a pair of leggings, so that you will not suffer from the cold. ”

"Good, good!" Liu Lao was busy and took the skin, "Brother Peng has a heart!" You thank him on my behalf. It just so happened that my tea was ready, and Xiaohuzi came to sit down and drank this cup of tea with me. ”

"It's been a while," Ann put down her book, "what have you been up to lately?" I went to the mountains to look for you, but I didn't find anyone. ”

Hu Zixin said: You still went up the mountain to find me? It's a shame that I didn't let you find it, otherwise I wouldn't have to be annoyed to death. Of course, he couldn't talk like this in front of others, so he said: "It's just some ghosts and gods, these jobs are done by those of us who have a thin life, and Miss An's daughter should still respect ghosts and gods and stay away." ”

An Xien was a little unhappy when she heard this, and slammed the book on the table slightly, turning her head away from looking at Huzi. Huzi looked down at this book and laughed out loud - "Night Rain and Autumn Lantern Record"! This book was written by a literati named Xuanding, which is similar to "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", and it tells the stories of some mountain spirits and ghosts. It seems that this Miss An is so restless, she knows that there are ghosts and elves in this world, so she just grabs this stubble and doesn't let go.

Huzi laughed dryly, took the tea soup handed by Liu Lao, and was just about to drink it, when someone came in from outside.

Dressed in a mink smock coat, wearing a fur coat, carrying a small food box in his hand, and greeting with a smile on his face: "Old Liu, Sister An, what do you two see I brought today?" ”

Huzi was stunned when he saw this person, and this person's eyes were also condensed when he saw Huzi. Who? Nalan Lang, the prince of the small country!

"How are you?" Ignoring Liu Lao and getting up to greet him, Nalan Lang put down the food box and pointed at Huzi and asked.

Huzi is not afraid of him: "It's me!" I also want to ask why you? ”

"Xiao Lang, do you know each other?" An Jien was a little puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized, "On the Sun Mountain that day, you also took a face-to-face photo. Xiao Lang, his name is Huzi, he is a little Mr. Yin and Yang, and he has a good relationship with me, don't embarrass him. ”

Nalan Lang laughed twice and took off his robe: "Sister An, don't worry, I'm not one of those gentlemen, and I won't be embarrassed by a child." Elder Liu, the tea cooked today is so fragrant, can I drink a cup? ”

"Where?" Liu Lao said with a smile, "Xiao Guogong doesn't dislike my coarse tea, it's already my blessing, please sit down!" ”

Nalan Lang opened the food box, which contained some preserved fruits and jujube cakes. He put the small plate on the table and said, "Liu Lao, come and taste it, these fruits have just been sent from Fengtian, and the jujube cake is made by the cook in the house to turn the dried dates, and it is rare at this time." ”

Liu Lao handed over the tea: "Xiao Guogong is distressed, it's not me a bad old man, I ran here two times in three days, and I still got Miss An's light." ”

An Xien's face was red, but Nalan Lang handed the preserved fruit to her mouth, and she didn't refuse. Huzi shuddered and said in his heart: Are these two people so unavoidable?

Nalan Lang glanced at Huzi and pushed the small plate containing the preserved fruit towards him: "What? You don't taste it? Not poisoned. ”

Huzi smiled: "Since the small country is gracious, the small one is disrespectful." ”

Seeing Huzi grab a handful and stuff it into his mouth one by one, Nalan Lang frowned. He said in his heart: This kid is a mischievous character, and he is also shameless, when will I be embarrassed?

An Jien smiled when she saw Huzi's appearance: "Xiao Lang, don't blame him, this kid is a scoundrel, but he also has a bit of a true temperament." You and I are both descendants of officials, but he doesn't bend his waist for the powerful, such a backbone is very rare. ”

Huzi listens to the music. There is a saying that "a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses", why don't you bend your waist for the powerful, you don't even want your life for those two points of integrity, Huzi admires it very much, but he can't do it. He's not hard-tempered, he's fearless.

Nalan Lang is a revolutionary party, and this thing let him know, that is, the small country has a handle in his hands, and he is really not afraid of what the small country will do to him. To mobilize his father's soldiers and horses, he is a person who has no official position, and he will never be able to do it. If it was those people who sent the regiment, Huzi felt that he couldn't beat him, and there were Lao Maozi and a large number of Japanese garrisons in Changtu Mansion, and the regiment would not dare to act rashly.

Therefore, Huzi is not afraid of Nalan Lang, and it should be said that he still admires him a little. But it's best that the well water doesn't interfere with the river water, as I said that day, it is best not to get along with each other from now on.

There was a knock at the door, and Lang Yunshu came in from the front hall. Liu Lao saw him and asked, "Why are you here?" What about the kids? ”

Lang Yunshu snorted: "I asked them to endorse it themselves, and I will take the test in two quarters of an hour." ”

Liu Lao nodded: "Okay, let's sit down and have a cup of tea together." ”

"You're telling the kids to memorize the useless stuff again." An Xien was a little displeased, "The things in that book are obscure, what is the use of you just asking the children to memorize by rote and not explaining to them?" ”

"Miss An, you can't say that!" Lang Yunshu furrowed his brows, "This...... This is the lesson of the saints, children, who do not yet understand the meaning. The so-called 'read a book a hundred times and its meaning will appear by itself', first of all, they must be proficient in recitation, and when they become adults, they will naturally understand the truth in the book. Besides, among these children, there will be those who will take the test in the future, so what is the use if they don't memorize it well? ”

An Jien snorted coldly: "Sure enough, he is a pedantic and poor talent, and he can't hold anything in his head." You are useless to study, there is no hope, there is no future. ”

Lang Yunshu seemed to have been greatly insulted, his face turned pale, and he stood up: "Nong...... How can Nong talk like that! I'm going to test people in the future! Waiting for the title of my gold list, I want to enter the office, and I want to set the country and the country! You say it's useless for me to read, so ...... So what's the use of Nong reading? A girl's family, even if you are a young lady, Nanon...... You can't be an official. Even if you are rich and full of wealth, don't you want to teach your husband and children? After staying in the ocean and coming back, isn't there still no growth? I don't see you having a fame. Now it's not Wu Cong's perverse Great Zhou, Nong talks about me like this, or about yourself? ”

This Lang Yunshu was in a hurry, and he didn't speak official anymore, and there were a lot of dialects in his hometown mixed in one paragraph, which made Huzi's head bigger. This An Xien is a delicate character, she has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she must be angry when she is robbed by Lang Yunshu. Huzi thought to himself, but don't let the fire at the city gate affect the pond fish, he still slipped away as soon as possible.

"Everyone!" Huzi stood up and bowed his hands to a few people one by one, "I also delivered the skin, I also drank the tea, and the small ones have to take a step in advance." A few of you have a slow chat. ”

After saying that, he got up to leave, but An Xien called him: "Huzi, you wait." ”

"Miss An, you command." Huzi responded.

"After a few days, I'll go to the mountains to look for you to play, but don't miss you again." Ann said.

She said this without a trace of pyrotechnics, and it didn't look like she was still arguing with others. Huzi's mind didn't turn this corner, but he also replied: "You can come at any time, but the kid is a child of a poor family, and he still has to make a living, so he can't be on the mountain, so if you want to come and send us a message in advance, it's okay." Let me be prepared. ”

"Come on," Ann nodded, "Then you go, I'm going to go one day and arrange for someone to deliver a letter to you." ”

Huzi is far away from the private school, and Lang Yunshu is still blowing his beard and glaring at An Xien. An Jien glanced at him coldly, shook her head and sighed, "Rotten wood can't be carved. ”

Lang Yunshu became even more angry: "Nong, tell your innocence!" What do you mean! ”

An Xien ignored him, and arched her hand at Liu Laoyi: "Liu Lao, I'm in a bad mood today, and I've caused you trouble." I won't teach foreign language in the afternoon, so you can make another arrangement. "There is such a thing, Liu Lao can't say anything else except nodding.

Nalan Lang put on an overcoat for Ann and escorted her out the door. Halfway through, Nalan Lang turned back again, looked Lang Yunshu up and down, and said, "I heard from the students that you were still courteous to Sister An?" Oh, summer insects can't talk about ice. ”

After that, he left the private school without looking back.

Liu Lao changed the water there and boiled a pot of tea. Lang Yunshu stood in place, his face changed a lot, and suddenly slammed the door and came to the front hall, and the originally chaotic classroom was silent for a moment.

"Are you familiar with what you were told to memorize just now? I took the test one by one, but I didn't memorize it...... I'll kill you! ”
