Tang Mingyi walked into the door with the little maid, bypassing the shadow wall to the rather spacious outer courtyard, just as someone had set up a table, on which were piled with pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other things, and even a somewhat dazzling wine jar.

The person in charge pressed one hand on the mouth of the altar, and was chatting with a few people in front of him, and when he said that he was happy, he lifted the wine jar and drank a good wine, but his mouth and hands were quite busy, and he didn't squint, and he didn't notice that there were new people coming in here.

The little guy who led the way first asked Tang Mingyi to stand still and wait for a while, and then stepped forward to hand over the roster, and at the same time replied to the man: "Mr. Hua, a guest has arrived." ”

"Sober all day long, in the end will look forward and backward, not happy enough, only good drinkers can see the beauty of the world." Hua Jizheng said that he was on the head, but he only glanced at the roster, and he didn't look at anyone, so he just said to the little guy, "Let him come forward, I'll take a look at him." ”

The little guy got the order, so he reflexively went to invite Tang Mingyi.

Tang Mingyi had already seen "Raspberry Difficult to Photo" at the crossroads, and naturally he had heard of Hua Ji's reputation, even though others said that this was just a fortune but a mediocre goods, he was not gullible. At this time, when I heard the little guy call him "Mr. Hua", I had a distinction in my heart, and when I saw him behaving like this, I didn't feel a lot of anger, so I just stepped forward with the little guy.

When he got closer, Hua Ji talked as usual, but ignored him at all, and Tang Mingyi didn't say a word, just stood aside and listened.

Hua Ji's words were reversed, obviously drunk, and there was nothing to praise about, the five or six people who were talking with him in front of him only cared about talking to him, only one of them was quite disdainful, and looked at the rest of the people coldly.

Tang Mingyi didn't show any impatience, and glanced at the disdainful person a few more times, probably leaving an impression.

Hua Ji finally finished speaking, and drew a few more strokes on the roster in front of him, so he asked the two or three little guys waiting next to him to follow the roster, and led these people to other places respectively, and they scattered without mentioning it.

At this time, I finally remembered that there was such a person as Tang Mingyi, so I looked at him.

"Have you ever read a book?" The drunkard was quite rude, and he didn't ask his name or surname, but praised him directly.

"Reads some." Tang Mingyi replied politely.

Hua Ji frowned and looked at him from top to bottom: "Is there a great talent in the chest and abdomen?" ”

This question was even more strange, Tang Mingyi had no choice but to reply: "I don't dare to call ...... talent"

"Do you dare to discern the situation in the world with me?" Hua Ji interrupted him and said again.

This is too unbeknownst to the sky, and whoever dares to talk to him is nothing more than listening to him and praising him like the rest of the people.

Tang Mingyi only said: "The situation in the world, it is possible to distinguish it here?" ”

Hua Ji smiled when he heard this, lifted the wine jar and poured a big sip, and only said to the little guy who led the way: "Don't be happy, you can't come to me." ”

After saying a word, he ignored him, led the little guy to understand, took back the roster, and led Tang Mingyi to another place.

Before leaving, Tang Mingyi was watching the guards lined up behind him being led in by the little guy at the door again, exchanging glances with each other, skipping them.

On the left and right sides of the outer courtyard, in addition to the two courtyard gates, one large and one small, there are also several wings, and the guide guide led him to the smaller courtyard gate on the west side, near the left, and before the closed wing, he asked him to stand still, and he stepped forward at the door and replied: "Master Li, a guest has arrived." ”

After a while, a white-shirted scholar opened the door and looked at Tang Mingyi generously, but he was much more polite: "Please come with me." ”

The guide boy handed over the roster to the scholar, and he stood outside the door without any intention of entering, so Tang Mingyi had to step forward by himself and be led into the wing room by the scholar.

Tang Mingyi bypassed the screen, only to see that the room was full of strange things, some rough wood and stone tools, and even some delicate models of bows and crossbows and wooden mantle bridges that had not yet been assembled.

One of them sat on the floor, polishing a rather large piece of rough stone in his hand. When Tang Mingyi saw his demeanor, he knew that it was Li Xun Li who heard it at the intersection today.

"It's inconvenient for me, you can sit if you want, and you can stand if you want." Li Xun was busy in his hands, and he didn't get up, and said to Tang Mingyi.

Tang Mingyi didn't say anything, and only reached out to take the bow and crossbow on one side. Li Xun glanced at him, and then said, "You look good, what are you doing badly, follow them to drill into here." ”

"Does Master Li prefer to judge people by their appearance?" Tang Mingyi replied.

Li Xun laughed, ignored his words, and only asked, "Will you do it?" ”

Tang Mingyi knew that he was asking if he would be able to do the work of craftsmanship, so he simply replied: "I will only use it." ”

Li Xun knocked on the original stone in his hand again: "Is there jade in here?" ”

"I've only seen good jade, but I won't break it." Tang Mingyi put down his bow and crossbow, lowered his body again, and went to see the model of the Hao Bridge.

"Would a carpenter be the same?" Li Xun asked again.

"I haven't learned." Tang Mingyi replied simply.

"Then you're not from me, go to the little lady to sell your face." After Li Xun finished speaking, the scholar standing next to him stepped forward to lead him away.

Tang Mingyi also happened to have a general look at the things in the room, and regardless of whether Li Xun was polite or not, he followed the scholar out of the room again.

When he arrived outside the wing, the scholar handed over to the guide boy, who led Tang Mingyi out of the small courtyard gate on the side, behind the courtyard gate was a narrow courtyard, which had no chic meaning, only a rockery slightly embellished. After a few steps into the small hall at the back, I walked through and entered a corridor.

After about a cup of tea, Tang Mingyi also took a look at both sides of the corridor, each of which had a courtyard, in addition to servants and maids shuttling, there were many obviously guards scattered and standing.

On the inside, you can even see a row of grass targets and some empty weapon shelves, which is clearly a place like a school field, but there is no trace of military training. Even the bulky utensils seemed a little disorganized, as if they had been moved temporarily.

Tang Mingyi didn't say anything in his heart, and continued to move forward with the guide guy, and the corridor was interspersed through the middle before it came to an end, and after passing an inner wall, his vision suddenly widened.

The "school yard" was much larger and more neatly arranged, with about twenty people scattered in one place, and a little farther away there were some people who seemed to be injured sitting on the ground resting. Tang Mingyi saw at a glance that the six people who came in earlier than him were all here, and he knew that this was probably the place where the martial arts of the school were examined.

Seeing that someone was coming again, the guards who were originally standing on the side stepped forward and saluted Tang Mingyi politely. Tang Mingyi naturally returned the salute, and the guard took the roster from the guide boy and led him to the crowd.
