Chapter 59: The Gift
"Haha, of course it's a gift for the old pedant."
Zhou Li directly threw Tang Guan, who looked desperate, to the chair on the side, and said with a smile: "This is something you have been thinking about for a long time, why don't you like it?" β
"I like ancient books, articles and good students, but I don't like women, let alone this kind of cardamom woman!"
The old scholar waved his hand and said angrily: "Say, what is the purpose of your kid to come to Taixue at the risk of being pressed to the ground by me?" β
After speaking, he glanced at the people behind Zhou Li. When the old scholar saw the thin monkey-like Hou Jue, a hint of realization flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to interrupt Zhou Li, who wanted to say something, and said slowly:
"Evil, and it's about zombies, right?"
"I can't hide it from you."
Zhou Li nodded and said in admiration: "You still know these evil crooked ways." β
"Stinky boy, you're still poor with me."
The old scholar waved his hand, and then he looked at the few people behind Zhou Li, and said, "Everyone, please sit down, the hut is simple, only coarse tea, and I hope you Haihan." β
"It's my honor to have tea from everyone."
Guo Lingyun hurriedly saluted, and he could see that the old man's waist was tied with a plain gold belt that could only be worn by four-grade officials, which proved that this old man was the sacrificial wine of Taixue in Beiliang, and it was also the "Academy Unification" of Taixue. And the person who can receive the order to sacrifice wine is definitely a party.
Hou Jue didn't understand this, he only knew that this old man gave him an unfathomable feeling, and the instinct he had cultivated over the years reminded him that he must not be cheap at this time, and honestly pretending to be dead is the only way to live.
And Li Kuan sat on the second seat on the side with ease, as an official of the imperial court, Li Kuan didn't care at all that the position he sat in was not as good as Zhou Li, even if the other party had no official status.
Joke, I'm also a waste if I have an official body.
Qianhu sat beside Guo Lingyun obediently and curiously glanced at the furnishings in the house. He found that the room was not as elegant as ordinary literati, but had an inexplicable sense of slaughter.
"You don't have to be restrained, I am the Northern Liang Taixue sacrificial wine, from the four products."
The old man was the first to break the silence, he looked at everyone, and said calmly and indifferently: "You can just call me an old scholar like Zhou Li, and if the name is useless, I won't report it." β
Names are useless...
Guo Lingyun put these four words in his heart and didn't think about it. He took the lead in saluting and said, "Under the top is Shangjing Jinyi Wei Baihu, Guo Lingyun." β
"Boy of the Guo family, I've heard of your reputation, flying sniper, right?"
Looking at the index finger of Guo Lingyun's right hand, the old scholar shook his head and sighed:
"Good archer, it's a pity that the operation of your Lingqi is messed up, and your index finger and thumb can't close the Lingqi at the first time. Start practicing the three-finger arrow today and get rid of this habit. β
Guo Lingyun was stunned at first, and then doubts appeared in her heart.
How can an old pedant still study bows?
But he didn't show it on the surface, but arched his hand, and said respectfully: "Boy, keep it in mind." β
"You'd better be."
After pointing out Guo Lingyun, the old pedant's eyes fell on Hou Jue, and he was stunned for a moment.
Although this Hou Jue looks like a middle-aged person, he is thin and pale, but he has a feeling of being a sour literati, as if he is a character who came out of the poem.
The bamboo pole has thin monkey legs, and the reason is long
Hou Jue, who didn't know what the old scholar was thinking, stood up, made a somewhat awkward etiquette, and said respectfully:
"Go to Jingjin Yiwei in front of Xia Nai, Hou Jue."
Hearing this, the old pedant who came back to his senses nodded and asked:
"And now?"
"Now it's the former Jingjin Yiwei."
Hou Jue replied.
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then continued to ask, "Then you were before..." β
"Shangjing Jinyiwei!"
The old scholar looked at Zhou Li blankly, and his simple eyes revealed simple words.
What's this kid like?
Zhou Li replied with a negative look, shook his head, and responded to the old scholar with his eyes:
"There is a disease in the lower body."
The old pedant suddenly realized that when the eunuch was more or less perverted in his heart, it seemed that this Hou Jue was the same. Thinking of this, the old pedant's eyes couldn't help but have a little more kindness and pity, and he said:
"I'm sorry."
"Well, careless."
Hou Jue sighed, he thought that the old scholar was comforting himself because he had encountered a zombie.
"Old pedant, aren't you curious about this one?"
At this moment, Zhou Li, who was on the side, suddenly spoke, and said such a sentence to the old scholar with a faint smile.
The old scholar looked at Tang Guan beside Zhou Li, the girl was delicate and cute, her appearance was beautiful, and her white hair also looked extraordinarily fairy. The old pedant nodded, and asked kindly:
"Girl, can you tell the old man your name?"
"The little girl Tang Guan, a disciple of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, see the old pedant."
Some legs stood up softly, Tang Guan performed a no-nonsense etiquette at the old pedant, respectful, and his crisp and delicate words were also very pleasant.
"Karamon..."
The moment he heard these two words, a look of nostalgia flashed in the old pedant's eyes. He let out a long sigh and said slowly:
"I once had a student, also a member of the Tang Sect, named Tang Cen, who was not heard from during a trip home. I also inquired with the Tang Sect, but I didn't get any news. It's a pity, that Tang Cen is also a malleable talent, and he is also a student I think is very promising, alas..."
Looking at the old man with a somewhat depressed expression, a faint pathos appeared on Tang Guan's face, as if he was empathizing with the other party.
Zhou Li stood behind Tang Guan, calmly looking at the white little hands that were clenched tightly in fists, as if he saw Tang Guan's heart of opening champagne in the middle of the day. Then, he laughed.
Just when the old man was about to encourage this little girl, he suddenly saw the meaningful smile on Zhou Li's face behind Tang Guan. He knew that Zhou Li would never be untargeted, and what he said would always have its purpose.
Suddenly, the old pedant's mind exploded, he looked at Tang Guan, and then at Zhou Li, and what Zhou Li said at the beginning appeared in his mind.
"This is something you've been dreaming about, why don't you like it?"
Morning thoughtsΒ·Β·Β·
"Fighting with others again? Tang Cen, where are your parents?! β
Suddenly, the old pedant shouted violently. And Tang Guan suddenly stood up straight and subconsciously shouted:
"Beiliang is everywhere, Zhou Taoyao."
Silent.
There was a long silence.
The three of Qianhu didn't know what was going on, because they didn't know Tang Guan's true identity. Li Kuan didn't know what was going on, because he had already stunned himself.
What about Tang Guan?
"Don't worry."
Turning her head and smiling, the girl said softly:
"I'm not going to let you go."
"Okay."
Zhou Li also looked at the other party gently, "Early death and early transcendence." β
"Let's do it together."
The old pedant stroked his beard and said happily:
"It's a real day..."
"Double happiness is coming."
