"Shui Yan really returned to the village?"

"Yes! It's true, it's all spread in the village! A lot of people have gone over to see it! ”

"Hey, let's go, let's see!"

In the water village, with the news of Bai Yan's return, it gradually spread in the village, and more and more villagers walked towards Yan's father's house together with the mood of watching the excitement.

At Yan's father's house, the villagers who came early were already talking in the courtyard.

For the returning Shui Yan, all the villagers are very curious, what Shui Yan has become now after leaving for so many years, is it the same as the previous fog said, has mixed up with the person, and it can be regarded as a success.

And when they really saw Shui Yan's appearance, all the villagers breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

It seems to be a little different from the 'breath' they imagined, and Shui Yan, who is wearing cloth clothes, is not much better than them.

It seems that the fog is not really......

Inside the house.

The women in the village, such as Yu and Hao, looked at Bai Yan's appearance, chatting with the Xiao family, and secretly glanced at each other in private, full of smiles, but soon, when they 'inadvertently' heard that Yan had apprenticed to the teacher and learned carving, the smiles on the faces of these women were instantly stunned.

After that, although he came back to his senses, his smile was still the same, but it was obviously much stiffer.

"Engraving? Hey, Yan, that old man is your teacher? ”

"Yanxue carving! No wonder, haha! ”

In the laughter, compared with the previous excitement, it was obviously too quiet, but Xiao Shi, who was originally busy serving tea and pouring water, noticed this cold scene, not only smiled in his heart, but also laughed uncontrollably on his face.

In the eyes of the Xiao family, now that the second son has a future, she wants to see who dares to laugh at Yan'er for being unproductive and unable to marry a wife.

"Yes! I don't know how to carve these, after all, people like me who live in the village can't afford it, let alone see it, and I can get Yan'er a wooden table to eat in the future, and I will be satisfied! ”

Xiao's words were self-deprecating, but his eyes swept over the villagers in the courtyard who were watching the excitement, and the smile on his face was particularly dazzling in the eyes of all the villagers.

After all, they are all adults, who can't hear what Xiao means, what is called her, a person who lives in the village, and which one in the courtyard is not a person who lives in the village.

This is obviously a show, that is, the things carved by Yan'er in the future will be sent to the city for the use of dignitaries.

"Haha, it's a good time! Good things, good things! ”

The few adult men, like elders, smiled at each other and complimented each other.

And the women in the courtyard, looking at the taciturn Wei Lao in the distance at this time, their eyes couldn't help but become hot, Yan'er was learning carving from him.

So can your own children do it?

Thinking of this, one by one the women looked at Wei Lao's gaze, which was called a scorching heat, and Fang Cai judged the two of them, and in the next conversation, from time to time, coaxed the child, let the child go to play by himself, and the direction in which the child walked was completely Wei Lao.

"Uncle, can you really take Shu'er to see General Bai Yan in the future?"

Xiao Shu'er was held in Bai Yan's arms, sat on Bai Yan's arm, and said in a milky voice.

Xu is a blood relative in his bones, Xu is a natural closeness, anyway, Xiao Shu'er is very close to Bai Yan, not to mention Xiao's family, Yan's father, and Shui Shou, even Yun Han, they are all stunned, why did the little uncle just go home, looking at the appearance of the uncle and nephew, how do you feel closer than her, the mother of the child.

"Go! A few days later, my uncle will take Shu'er to see General Bai Yan! When the time comes, let Shu'er ride a real war horse, okay? ”

Bai Yan looked at his nephew's immature face, full of yearning, and said with a smile.

"Uh-huh-hmm......"

Inside the yard.

Hearing Shui Yan and Shu'er's words, looking at Shu'er with an excited face, if in the past, there were so many villagers in the yard, they would have to mock Shui Yan a few words, but when they learned that Shui Yan's apprentice had learned carving, although the villagers laughed in their hearts, at least their mouths should be much quieter, at least they would not laugh at Shui Yan in person.

Carving, no one knows whether Shui Yan, who they look down on in the future, will have the opportunity to carve wooden tables and the like for the nobles in the city.

After this day, if their children want to find a way and which mansion they want to enter as a servant, they may need Shui Yan's help.

"That's right, Yan! Did your mother tell you that Ling Shi came to you before! ”

The woman thought of something and asked Bai Yan.

Compared with those who ridiculed Bai Yan at the beginning, these women seem to have forgotten all of them, just like looking at Bai Yan at this time, seeing that Xiao Shi didn't seem to say anything, the woman told Bai Yan what happened in the past.

The other women on the side also chimed in, constantly adding what had happened that day.

Even the old man in the village who was talking with Yan's father in the distance, looked at the honest Yan's father, and when he heard about Ling Shi, he also turned his head to look at Bai Yan, and as a respected village elder, he instructed Bai Yan that if he had money in the future, he would bring more good wine and meat to Ling Shi to visit whenever he was on a festival.

"Ling Shi said it himself?"

Bai Yan hugged Xiao Shu'er, and when he heard the words of the villagers, he was a little surprised that Ling Shi came here in the past and said to his parents.

Bai Yan still has some vague impressions of Ling Shi in Linzi City, before he left Qi State, when he was a corpse collector, he encountered some big cases, and he was also in the crowd, and he had seen Ling Shi once or twice from a distance.

Ling Shi appreciates him very much? Bai Yan couldn't cry or laugh a little, and he knew with his eyes closed that Ling Shi didn't know him at all.

"Yan! I'll invite Ling Shi later! Remember to entertain Ling Shi well, take out more or less half of the family's money, and give it to Lord Ling Shi, or go buy some good wine! ”

Old Xun was also standing beside the other old men at this time, and suddenly said to Bai Yan with a serious face, and then looked at the woman's Xiao Shi and the Yan father beside him.

When Xiao and Yan's father heard this, they were a little hesitant, after all, they both planned to take their family savings to find a family affair for Yan'er.

But when I think about it, that's Ling Shi!

Officials in Linzi City.

"Hey, okay, when Ling Shi comes, Yan'er, you will secretly bring it to Ling Shi, and by the way, send Ling Shi back to Linzi to buy two pots of good wine!"

Xiao Shi and Yan Father glanced at each other, and when they saw that it was the eldest son, they also looked anxious, and finally relented, turned their heads to the second son, and said.

Now that Yan'er has learned to carve and touch her mouth, she has a chance to fool girls from other villages, but if she is reluctant to give up money and get close to Ling Shi, she can't ask for it, so she must cherish it.

"Mother!"

When Bai Yan heard his mother's words, he couldn't cry or laugh, not to mention half of his savings, that is, since he was a child, he had never seen his father drink twice, and he only heard it once, and he learned it from his mother when he was a child.

When the uncle married his aunt, he brought back a pot from Linzi City, and once, the uncle and uncle only gave the father a small cup to drink, which was this small cup, and the father was not less regarded by the family.

And Bai Yan can remember that whenever there is some money in the family, his father will buy clothes and rice millet for the family, although there are times when he is hungry and cold, but his father is alone, and he supports a family strongly, and he is reluctant to send him and his brother to the city to be slaves for rich families from beginning to end.

Hearing that his mother wanted to buy two pots of wine for Ling Shi, Bai Yan sighed, not mentioning the money, it was those two pots of wine, put them in Linzi City, not to mention Ling Shi, even a small businessman couldn't look down on it.

"Obedient, this opportunity is rare, Ling Shi appreciates you, you will visit Ling Shi more in the future, and be close to him!"

Xiao Shi instructed categorically, and when he spoke, he didn't seem to be able to see the appearance of distressed money at all, which was completely different from the usual appearance of picking and searching.

"I said the Bad Family! It's not necessary, I think Ling Shi will say that at will, if Ling Shi appreciated Yan at the beginning, why did Yan leave Linzi, isn't it! ”

"That's right! I think it's the same, didn't I say last time, that Ling Shi asked Yan about some things, besides, he didn't say that he wanted to take Yan to Linzi! Just whispered! ”

In the courtyard, there were always some people who laughed at Bai Yan very excessively, but now that Bai Yan is doing better than them, they feel very uncomfortable, and when they are depressed, they can't help but say to others 'casually', as if they want to be recognized by others.

Soon, more and more people nodded, although many people did not nod in agreement, but they all looked at Xiao Shi, as if they were a little jealous and did not speak, and the look on his face obviously agreed with these words.

The woman's face was even more exciting, seeing the discolored appearance of the Xiao family, she glanced at each other, and some straight women smiled one after another.

"That's what Ling Shi said himself, you people, don't you still hear it?"

Xiao Shi saw that there were still people in the village who slandered his son, this couldn't help it, the second son was not profitable at the beginning, but now the second son is promising, better than these villagers, you are red-eyed.

Where could the Xiao family endure it, and asked directly loudly, scanning the people in the courtyard, looking over one by one, to see who dared to deny it.

"Whether you really appreciate it depends on the future! If it's appreciation, why leave Linzi in the first place......"

Outside the courtyard, the faint sound made Xiao's face pale, but those middle-aged villagers walked outside the courtyard after speaking, so angry that Xiao's couldn't say anything.

"Shu'er, come down and take a walk by yourself!"

Bai Yan ignored the arguments between his mother and the villagers, it was like this in the village, and Bai Yan had long been used to it.

After letting his nephew down, Bai Yan walked to the wooden plate placed by his mother on the side, picked up a simple wooden cup, poured water, held it in both hands, and came to a one-eyed old man step by step under the gaze of other villagers.

"Yan, please drink water!"

Bai Yan looked at the one-eyed old man in front of him, and after watching the old man take the wooden cup with both hands, he nodded gratefully, Bai Yan also took a step back and bowed to the old man.

This scene naturally puzzled other villagers, and some people even talked about it vaguely, saying that Shui Yan was stinking and conspicuous, not a scholar, but pretending to be a scholar, and giving a salute, really thinking it was his cousin, uncle, and uncle!

No matter how small the voice is, it is easy to be heard, not to mention those women, even the confused Xiao family, everyone knows that after today, Yan'er will inevitably be sneered at by the villagers behind their backs.

But at the moment.

Xiao Shi was even more puzzled that the one-eyed old man who was withdrawn by nature would actually come here.

Not only her, but also the other villagers in the courtyard were also whispering when they saw the old man.

"In the future, if the old gentleman has a need, he will talk to Yan!"

Bai Yan watched the blind old man drink water, took back the wooden cup, and said to the blind old man.

Fellene.

A once famous swordsman.

Bai Yan's mentor also mentioned the name Fei Ling, although only once or twice, but it is enough to prove that Fei Ling was famous among the swordsmen of all countries in the past.

Seeing Fei Ling bow his hand, Bai Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Now Tian Feiyan is already his Bai Yan's wife, presumably Fei Ling also knew about it and came over.

"Yan'er, why don't you let the old gentleman sit down?"

Xiao Shi came to Bai Yan's side with some puzzlement, looked at the old man who turned around and left alone, and looked at Bai Yan with doubts.

In the village, not to mention other people, even the Xiao family, they all think that this old man is strange by nature, never likes to talk to people, and is a loner every day, never talking to anyone.

Today was the first time she had seen the blind old man take the initiative to come here.

"It should be a lot of people!"

Bai Yan said with a smile at his mother.

……………………………………

Linzi City Gate.

Ling Shizheng was about to leave Linzi City with a few small officials, but he never thought that under the city gate, he suddenly saw dozens of Qi cavalry guards, escorting a carriage over.

"It's Childe !!"

"Childe is back! I don't know if the old man who wrote the book was invited by Gongzisheng! ”

Under the busy Linzi City Gate, many scholars and people knew Gongzisheng's carriage, so they exclaimed one after another, and even looked excited.

Although none of them had read the widely circulated book, it did not prevent them from knowing that if they could invite the old man who wrote the book to serve in the Qi State, the Qi State would inevitably not be able to strengthen the country and fight with the Qin State.

This is something that has almost been recognized in their scholar circle, and it also makes all of them look forward to the news of the old man's arrival in Linzi.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, the attendant who was driving the carriage saw Ling Shi, who had retreated to the side to make way under the city gate, and hurriedly exclaimed.

Under the gaze of countless people, as the carriage slowly stopped, the atmosphere fell silent, and there were only a few excited chatters.

"Childe, it's Ling Shi!"

After asking the groom to stop the carriage, he turned back to the carriage and said.

And just as Hu Cong's words fell, the delicate small wooden door of the carriage opened, and Gongzisheng's figure stepped down from the carriage.

"Meet the eldest son!"

When Ling Shi saw Gongzi Sheng, he hurriedly bowed his hand.

"Have you found Tian Jin's tomb?"

On Gongzisheng's young face, he was a little tired because of running all the way, but under the tightly locked eyebrows, his expression was full of eagerness.

And in the middle of the words, Tian Jin, not to mention Ling Shi, even the nearby scholars heard this, and they all immediately understood that Gongzisheng was thinking about Bai Yan's affairs and wanted to know Bai Yan's situation.

Now the entire Linzi City has spread all over the city, Qin General Bai Yan, and Qin Wulie Jun are Tian Jin's disciples.

Countless people suddenly realized, no wonder Bai Yan has always been reluctant to return to Qi to serve, no wonder Gongzi Sheng and Tian Ding personally came forward, not hesitating to be suspected, they went all the way to the battlefield to see Bai Yan, Bai Yan was unwilling to return to Qi State.

Countless people feel that they all blame Tian Ding, Bai Yan said it himself, and he didn't resent Tian Ding, they all felt that it was a lie before, how could Bai Yan not blame Tian Ding, and now they feel that what Bai Yan said may be true, and the reason why he didn't go back to Qi to serve his mother country was because of his mentor Tian Jin.

"Go back to Gongzi!"

Ling Shi heard Gongzisheng's inquiry and knew that Gongzisheng longed for Bai Yan to return to Qi, so he hurriedly told Gongzisheng everything about what had happened.

Seeing that Gongzi Shengdang learned that the person who buried Tian Jin in the past had already left Qi State, and his face was full of worry, Ling Shi hurriedly told Gongzi Sheng the good news, and someone from the village said that the person who had buried Tian Jin had returned to the village.

"Please also ask Ling Shi to find Tian Jin's bones! On his day, Gongzi Sheng personally moved Tian Jin's tomb into the mausoleum! ”

When Gongzisheng heard Ling Shi's words, his tired and worried face finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after looking back at the carriage, Gongzi Sheng could only entrust this matter to Ling Shi for now, worried that Qin Guo's fine work would assassinate him, and now he had to immediately send the old man in the carriage to the palace.

As for Tian Jin's bones, two days later, Gongzi Sheng will personally go to Tian Jin's tomb to kowtow to Tian Jin's tomb and place him in the tomb.

When I learned that Bai Yan was Tian Jin's disciple yesterday, Gongzi's promotion was full of complications, Tian Jin! There are few loyal ministers in the Qi country, but it is a pity that his father was deceived by the villain, and it did not prevent Tian Jin from being framed by the villain.

Bai Yan is Tian Jin's disciple!

Every time he thought of this, Gongzi Sheng couldn't wait to see Bai Yan immediately.

"Don't worry, Childe! Beichen will definitely not lose hope! ”

Ling Shi hurriedly bowed his hand to Gongzisheng, watched Gongzisheng hesitate, looked back at the carriage's move, and quickly thought of something, and his heart was shocked.

"There is labor!"

Gongzi raised his hand and saluted Ling Shi, and then turned around and returned to the carriage, not daring to delay more.

Ling Shi stood in place, watching the carriage gallop away, full of emotion, the prince of Qi has been promoted, which is really a blessing for Qi country.
