After a good night's sleep, both of them woke up refreshed.

Jiang Ning needed to go to the Yan family to check on the condition of the Yan family's aunt and grandmother, so he hastily had breakfast and left, as for Xiao Sheng, he was naturally reading at the inn as he did yesterday.

As he was looking, he suddenly heard the door being unceremoniously pushed open, twisted his eyebrows and turned his head to see the old scoundrel leaning against the threshold with a wine gourd yesterday, yawning without any image, and then walked in directly.

Xiao Sheng frowned unhappily, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to drive people away, the book in his hand was taken away by the old man in front of him.

Then, Xiao Sheng watched the old man pout with disgust, threw the book aside, and stretched out his hand directly to him: "Two taels of silver." ”

Xiao Sheng: "......"

"Old man, you are ......"

"Bring me two taels of silver, and I'll teach you to read."

Xiao Sheng: "??? ”

Does this old man know what he's talking about?

However, this old man was obviously not a good man, and when he saw that he had not moved, he frowned unhappily and said, "What's the matter, you don't even have two taels of silver?" ”

"Old man, I ......"

"Forget it, it's normal to see that you look poor and sour and don't have any money." The old man glanced at him with disdain, then found a place to sit down, cocked Erlang's legs, pouted and said, "Last year, the imperial court took the water conservancy test, and this year it will not be examined. ”

The old man's tone when he said this was still a little disdainful, but the content of these words made Xiao Sheng shocked, and he looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

"Old man, you ......"

"Tsk, after all that, I don't see you writing it down, why are you so good at it?"

"I ...... Student ......"

"Okay, do you like to remember it, anyway, I only say some things once, you like to listen to it, if you don't like to listen to it, just let it go as a fart, but you still have to give the two taels of silver for drinking, don't rely on it!"

Afterwards, the old man babbled with Xiao Sheng about many things that he had never heard of, from shock at the beginning to calm down to habitual, and even argued with him in the end.

The old man still looked like he was dragging wildly, taking a sip of wine and saying a few words, looking drunk, but his words were clear.

From day to dusk, it does not stop until the wine in the wine gourd is gone.

"It's done, yesterday the old man accepted the love of your husband and wife, and today it can be regarded as repaid, and now it's time for you to give the silver."

Xiao Sheng glanced at him unsatisfactorily, but he still took out a silver ingot from his waist and handed it over respectfully: "Old man, it is a student who has eyes and no beads and mistakes pearls for fish eyes, if you want, this inn ......"

"Don't, although the old man likes to take advantage of others, he doesn't want to eat just one family."

After speaking, the old man glanced at the silver he took out, looked at him with appreciation, and then put the silver into his arms, weighed the empty wine gourd and said: "Go back and wait for your daughter-in-law to come back and sue her, and remember to give grandpa another pot of pear blossom brew next time, it tastes strong." ”

After saying that, the old man turned around and left without any nostalgia.

Until the old man's back disappeared from sight for a long time, Xiao Sheng was in a bit of a trance......

I thought it was an old beggar, but I didn't expect it to be an old scholar who read poetry and books, and it only took one day to benefit him a lot.

Xiao Sheng was very emotional in his heart, but he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly fiddled with the pen and paper to record all the arguments he had talked about before.

Because he was so serious, he didn't even notice it when Jiang Ning came back.

"Xiao Sheng?"

Today, Jiang Ning specially came back early, for fear that the old scoundrel who followed them yesterday would torture Xiao Sheng, but he never thought to come back and see the scene of him struggling to write.

She stood behind him for a long time, and when she saw what he wrote, her brows frowned slightly, the words were the content, and the content was also easy to understand, but she didn't understand what the meaning was.

It's really hard to understand and obscure, and Jiang Ning didn't bother to watch it anymore and had to bother.

Almost at the moment when the voice sounded, Xiao Sheng also stopped his pen, paused slightly, and when he turned around, he saw that Jiang Ning was still showing a touch of surprise, until he looked at the sky outside the window lattice, and then he found that the sunset was slanting in the west.

"Ning'er, you're back, I'm really sorry I didn't pick you up today."

Jiang Ning naturally wouldn't be angry with him because of such a trivial matter, waved his hand indifferently, then looked at him and asked, "Aren't you reading books on weekdays, why are you in such a good mood today?" ”

Seeing that she asked about Xiao Sheng, he naturally wouldn't hide it, and briefly said what the old man said to him today.

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in a little surprise: "So we can be regarded as picking up a treasure?" ”

Xiao Sheng pursed his lips and nodded reservedly: "The old gentleman is quite knowledgeable, I am not as good as one ten-thousandth, I am really sorry for myself, and many views are sharp and very insightful, I think the identity should be unusual." ”

This is the result of Xiao Sheng's conservatism, in his opinion, the old gentleman should be a high-ranking official in the current dynasty, otherwise it is impossible for ordinary scholars to come into contact with these things.

When Jiang Ning heard this, he was quite happy for him.

"So it seems that there is still a reward for doing good deeds."

"yes."

Subsequently, Xiao Sheng said some interesting things with the old man, which caused Jiang Ning to laugh frequently, and in the end, he was even more happy to hear the old man's words before leaving.

"If we can see each other again one day, don't say it's a pot of pear blossom brew, it's a jar, no, three jars, how much he drinks......" Jiang Ning waved very magnificently, as if he was going to give him all the pear blossom brew in the world in the next second.

Xiao Sheng couldn't help but rise the corners of his lips when he heard this, and said helplessly: "Ning'er, there is no need to be so exaggerated, for the old gentleman, this move is just a courtesy." ”

Of course, there is no need to tell her that the old man had finally left and that he had given ten taels of silver.

Jiang Ning shook his head disagreefully: "Xiao Sheng, this gift is still about human exchanges, and the things given to the other party are almost the same as those received, but now we are the ones who take advantage, and no matter whether what this old gentleman said is useful or not, what he said on this day alone is enough to be worthy of a one-day teacher, since it is a teacher, no matter how exaggerated......"

The most important thing is that Jiang Ning's intuition told her that she would definitely see that scoundrel old man again in the future, but she would definitely not be the beggar this time!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh, Fucheng is a Fucheng in the end, and the characters he encounters casually are all amazing, and he is glad that he didn't drive people away yesterday, otherwise where would these good things come from?
