Time flies, and since the mountain chief has been released from prison, he has shouldered the duties of a strict teacher.

After all, the township test is imminent, Huang Tinghui is his protégé, and the mountain chief doesn't want to see Huang Tinghui look like he is wasting time all day long.

For ordinary scholars, there is nothing more important at the moment than the upcoming township examination.

Therefore, under the personal supervision and teaching of the mountain chief, Huang Tinghui once again entered a state of learning that forgot to sleep and eat.

However, Tang Ruocheng is an official of the Ministry of Officials after all, and this time he came to the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Prefecture to inspect the officials.

Therefore, Tang Ruocheng did not stay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for too long, and had to return to Beijing to report on his work.

However, for Huang Tinghui's academic attention, Tang Ruocheng did not fall behind because of his departure.

He and Huang Tinghui pointed out a place called "Huaguang Temple", and there was a Taoist temple in that place.

There is a Taoist priest in this Taoist temple, and this Taoist priest is not an ordinary person.

This person was born in the top three jinshi, and was ranked among the flowers in the imperial examination that year.

This guy was born in a wealthy family when he was young, and he can be described as a high-spirited and well-dressed person.

However, because his father angered the emperor, the entire mansion was raided, and a brilliant and wealthy family collapsed.

Later, although this person was admitted to the top three jinshi, he returned his grandmother's wish.

But in the process of going to the exam, his mother and mother died of serious illness one after another.

As for the child, he also died prematurely.

Disheartened, this person who saw through the red dust chose this Taoist temple and became a Taoist priest who did not ask about the red dust and the world.

The reason why Tang Ruocheng talked to Huang Tinghui about this was to ask Huang Tinghui to find this person.

Of course, I didn't want Huang Tinghui to follow that person's example to see through the red dust and become a Taoist monk like him.

In fact, although this person is not famous, his talent is a first-class existence.

If Huang Tinghui wants to make a splash in the upcoming township test, it is wonderful to be able to get this person's advice.

"The surname is Huang, why are you pulling us so far?"

"You really want to exhaust all of us to death?"

"In addition to the mountains and trees, there are also a few mountain springs, what can there be?"

Shen Rou followed Huang Tinghui, the little girl and Lu Qiaosi to the mountain, and kept complaining as she walked.

"I didn't let you come along, did I?"

"You insisted on coming up, and now you know you're tired!" Huang Tinghui said to Shen Rou angrily.

Obviously, I was going to find the Taoist priest to study, and by the way, I found a quieter place to prepare for the upcoming township test.

Who knew that Shen Rou, this woman, would actually come over to play with her.

Just follow along!

is still complaining here now, so Huang Tinghui will say this to her angrily now.

"How do I know ......?"

"If I knew, I would never follow ......" Shen Rou also regretted it a little at this moment, you must know that Huang Tinghui came to this kind of place, and Shen Rou, who loves to join in the fun, will never come with him.

Stay in Hangzhou to eat and drink, can you go out for a walk.

It's much, much better than where the bird doesn't.

However, Shen Rou was not willing to show weakness, she said to Huang Tinghui, "I came with Sister Lian'er!" ”

"I'm here for...... It's because I'm afraid of Lian'er's sister...... Lonesome...... Yes, I'm afraid that Lian'er's sister will be lonely, and I won't ...... to talk to someone."

Shen Rou lied while talking to Huang Tinghui.

The eldest lady of the Zhang family, who was walking on the side, covered her mouth and smiled lightly, unlike Shen Rou, the young lady of the Zhang family, who naturally dislikes restraint and advocates freedom, loves the mountain and water in front of her very much.

If it weren't for Zhang Derong's special care for Miss Zhang's family, how could Miss Zhang's family be so willful to appear here with Huang Tinghui and the little girl?

"Sister Shen, you can say a few words!"

"If we go back now, not only will we not have a guide, but the journey back will be longer than the next one!"

"I'm afraid I'm going to be even more tired by then!"

"Besides, there are many fierce animals such as big insects and jackals in this mountain forest, and they are full of dangers!" Miss Zhang reminded Shen Rou as she walked.

And at this time, the little girl also took over the conversation.

"yes, yes!"

"Sister Shen, there are a lot of big insects and a lot of jackals in the mountains!"

"Not long after Lian'er and her husband got married, Lian'er met a group of hungry jackals!"

"If it weren't for the husband's timely appearance, Lian'er would definitely be torn apart by those jackals!"

"Sister Shen, it's not far from the location of that Taoist temple, Sister Shen, just hold on for a little longer!!"

I remember being surrounded by wolves and almost losing my life in the mouth of the wolves.

The little girl immediately reminded.

"With your husband's physique, he's still waiting among the wolves to save you?"

Shen Rou expressed her doubts about what had happened.

Huang Tinghui just smiled and didn't say anything.

I walked several miles of mountain roads again, and was in a relatively flat clearing.

Huang Tinghui clearly saw that there was a Taoist temple in this open space.

"It's almost there, just ahead!" Huang Tinghui said to the girls.

"Arrived?"

"So soon, almost there?"

Shen Rou, who was still complaining to Huang Tinghui just now, immediately came to her senses, she patted her chest, and said excitedly, "I'll just say it, I'm not afraid of hardship or tiredness!" ”

"Isn't this temple here now?"

Under Huang Tinghui's extremely disdainful gaze, Shen Rou stepped on cheerful small steps and walked in the direction of the Taoist temple.

"Miss, miss, wait for me, wait for me!"

"Miss, slow down, slow down!" Shen Rou's little maid Juan'er looked at her young lady like a wild horse that had taken off the leash, running in the direction of the dilapidated Taoist temple.

She was also busy lifting her skirt and following in the footsteps of her young lady.

This scene made the little girl cover her mouth and laugh.

"Husband, husband......"

"Let's go over too......" the little girl said to Huang Tinghui.

Huang Tinghui looked around, he had thought that the Taoist temple must be very dilapidated, but he didn't expect it to be so dilapidated.

I don't know if these daughters can stay here during this time.

Sighing softly, Huang Tinghui patted the little girl's right hand and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

While speaking, Huang Tinghui and his daughters came to the periphery of this slightly dilapidated Taoist temple.

Compared to the temples where the incense burns endlessly, this one looks like it's off the beaten track.

Probably the Taoist masters in this temple originally had the idea of living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

and the monk who takes the initiative to devote himself to the red dust are fundamentally different things.
