After the beginning of autumn, the morning in Jiangnan is really a little cold, mainly because there is always a bit of humidity in the air.

Nowadays, people who live in the Gangnam area know that they should not leave their ankles bare when they sleep, because the consequence of this is that they will inevitably suffer from rheumatism, arthritis and other diseases when they are older.

But as the second dog who had just arrived in Jiangnan, he didn't know that he only wore a pair of pants early in the morning, and the head was lying on the bed on all fours.

That's not all, a young man of Ergou's age with a strong blood and strength is inevitably a little overenergy, which makes the little girl Chen Xici, who brought him in with washing water for Ergou, blushed as soon as she entered the door and hurriedly retreated.

"Phew, no shame. ”

She quietly broke her mouth and then went back with the basin of water, and the second dog still fell asleep without knowing anything.

When Ergou finally woke up, it was already half an hour later, this is still Ergou got up early, since he went out of Beijing, he barely developed the habit of getting up early to practice knives, otherwise, he would not get up if he didn't sleep until the third pole of the day.

In the yard, Ergou took the Kunwu knife and played a set of knife techniques seriously, and the main reason why he was serious was not because he wanted to practice knife skills, but because there was a big-eyed cute girl who looked at him with some admiration next to the yard.

A total of seventy-seven forty-nine moves, two dogs after a set of knife skills to put away the knife and stand, and do not forget to put himself in a posture that he thinks is very handsome.

And Chen Xici also has the potential to become a little fan girl, not to mention the cheerful applause, but also enthusiastically handed over her handkerchief.

"Brother Ergou, when I went to bring you washing water this morning, I saw that you were still sleeping naked, this is not good, there is enough rain in this place in Jiangnan, so the humidity will be very heavy, if you sleep like this for a long time, you will get old cold legs in the future, just like my grandfather, when it comes to the rainy weather, he will cry out in pain. ”

In the end, the little girl let out a laugh like a silver bell, as if she had seen her grandfather lying on the bed and lamenting again.

"It's okay, I'm a martial arts practitioner anyway, and I won't get this kind of disease in the future, but I do have a question for you. ”

"Brother Ergou, you say. ”

The little girl looked at Jiang Ergou innocently.

"This must be the first time we've met!Why do I always feel like you're familiar with me, like we've known each other for a long time?"

Ergou was wiping his sweat with the handkerchief handed over by Xi Ci, and there was a fragrance in the handkerchief, which seemed to be used by the little girl herself.

And when it came to this, the little girl Chen Xici deliberately showed a sad face.

"It's not because of Uncle Wang, every time he comes here, it's you who talks the most, I hear that my ears are calloused, and he doesn't stop, in the end, Brother Ergou, you have become the man I am most familiar with." ”

"Hmm...!"

Ergou was surprised, but when any other normal man heard the woman say that you were the man he was most familiar with, he would be amazed!

"And ......"

"And what?"

Xi Ci said that he wanted to say something and stopped, and Ergou kept asking.

"Moreover, Uncle Wang always likes to joke with me, saying that when I grow up, I will be his apprentice daughter-in-law. ”

After saying that, the little girl blushed completely, and her face was red from her face to the base of her neck.

"Ah...... Ha ha... That dead old man just loves to laugh! I don't know how to fix this stinky problem. ”

Ergou was stunned for a moment with a handkerchief, not knowing what to do.

Then wiping the sweat doesn't seem to be good, and giving her back the handkerchief is even worse. In the end, he had to ask embarrassedly.

"I've been practicing the knife all morning, and my stomach is hungry, when can we start eating!"

"Brother Ergou is hungry! I'm going to cook!"

The little girl snatched the handkerchief from Ergou's hand and ran away, looking at her panicked appearance, it was estimated that there was a deer in her heart.

Looking at Xici's back, Ergou muttered to himself:

"This old man also arranged a marriage for me, then you didn't say it earlier, if I meet Miss Qin again in the future, what should I do!"

The more he spoke, the tighter Ergou's brows wrinkled, but then, he put the hand that took the hand of the other girl's hand under his nose and sniffed it, and then, his brows relaxed.

"Hehe, it smells good. ”

......

After lunch, the two old men kicked the two young people out of the courtyard on the grounds that they had something to say, and let them know each other in the name of letting them know each other, and by the way, they also let Chen Xici take the two dogs to visit this Gusu City.

If you want to say that this Gusu City, it is indeed as beautiful as a painting, and the most on the street are a pair of talented and beautiful people, and there are two businesses in this Gusu City that are the most prosperous.

One is to sell rouge, and the other is to sell jewelry. Both of these are inseparable from girls, but they are actually very related to men.

After all, it is a girl's job to apply rouge and wear jewelry, but you still have to pay for such things as paying out of pocket.

The market in Gusu City opened early, and when Xici came with Ergou, it was already crowded, but this could not hide the happiness in the heart of the little girl Chen Xici, who looked east and west along the way, and was full of curiosity about everything. It feels like the first person who came to the Gusu City Market was her and not Ergou.

In front of an old grandmother's jewelry stall, Chen Xici took a fancy to a butterfly-shaped hairpin, which was not precious, at most it was more exquisitely made, but she held it in her hand and watched it repeatedly.

"If you like it, you can buy it!"

Ergou looked at the little girl's expression on the side, although he liked it tightly, but Xici hesitated for a while but shook his head, and then reluctantly put the hairpin back.

"Although grandpa opened a school in the city, but in order to allow more children to go to school, grandpa's fees are barely enough for me to live with him. ”

Looking at this sensible girl Chen Xici, Ergou felt a little distressed, he thought that it should be very simple for a giant like Chen Mu to make some money, but he didn't expect that their life would be so poor.

In fact, if you think about it, it is naturally impossible for a scholar like Chen Mu to accept help from others, but they will not do anything other than teaching, and the average big family has its own teacher who invites a teacher, so naturally most of the children who come to the school are ordinary people's children, how can they charge more according to Chen Mu's temperament? At most, they can earn some rice and flour money from their grandparents.

"This goes out shopping, there is a reason for girls to pay out of their own pockets, if you like it, I will give it to you!"

Ergou was afraid that she would refuse, so he immediately took out the silver and handed it to the old woman, which made the Xici girl, who was still about to say something, have to shut up obediently.

"Hehehe, Miss Chen, I haven't come to see you for many days, I didn't expect to meet in the bazaar, if there is anything eye-catching, just choose, everything will be settled by Lu. ”

As soon as Ergou finished paying the bill, an abrupt voice sounded beside him, which startled him.

The person who came was a handsome man with a height of more than seven feet, dressed in a white robe and a folding fan, followed by a follower dressed as a scholar, a typical family boy going out in a suit.

"Lu Gongzi's kindness, the little woman understands it, but it is useless, and Xi Ci is ashamed. ”

The man smiled gently.

"Why don't you dare to be, as long as Miss Chen can accept me as an apprentice in front of Mr. Chen......"

Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xi Ci.

"Lu Gongzi doesn't need to say much, my grandfather said that if you want to study, the school is located in the east of the city, but it is impossible to accept apprentices. ”

After finishing speaking, Xi Ci pulled the second dog and left, leaving the man standing in place with a bitter face.

"Who is that man just now?"

After walking a distance, Xici shyly let go of Jiang Ergou's hand, but Ergou didn't pay much attention to these.

"The cultivator family in Gusu City, Lu Dongshu, the eldest son of the Lu family. ”

"Cultivating and reading a family? It sounds very powerful, so why does he have to worship Uncle Chen Mu as a teacher!"

Speaking of which, even the always cheerful little girl Chen Xici is really helpless.

"Of course, the cultivator and reading family is powerful, but their family is the cultivator and scholar family of the previous dynasty, although the law of Da Chu says that they will not be treated differently from other scholars, but do you think Da Chu really will not treat them differently?"

"And among the scholars in the previous dynasty, the one who can make Da Chu still miss is my grandfather, so Lu Dongshu wants to worship my grandfather in every possible way, because only in this way can a family like theirs have a little possibility of gaining fame. ”

"Then how can you say that, isn't that even if that person reads the book and blossoms, he can't take the imperial examination?"

"It's not that it can't, but it certainly won't be lifted. ”

"It's miserable. ”

For this, Ergou is also very sympathetic, he doesn't understand why those scholars have to be officials, but it is very miserable to be deprived of the right to be an official.

"Don't talk about him, Brother Ergou, let's go to Hanshan Temple to take a look, you must not have been there yet, the master inside is very accurate!"

"Okay, then let's go to Hanshan Temple and have a look. ”

Talking and laughing, the two turned around and walked out of the city, Chen Xici was very happy today, and the smile on her face almost never disappeared.

When they arrived at Hanshan Temple, they met that Lu Dongshu at the door again, remembering the direction he came in just now, wasn't it the direction of going out of the city, so it was not surprising that he appeared at the door of this Hanshan Temple.

"Miss Chen, I really can't believe that we will meet again just after we separated. ”

"Stop, stop! Lu Gongzi, can we not mention that topic today. ”

Looking at Chen Xici, who was holding his hands on Xiaoman's waist and looking unhappy, Lu Dongshu glanced at Jiang Ergou with great scheming.

"In this way, then Lu will not bother. ”

After that, he planned to take his scholar into the temple.

And looking at Lu Dongshu's lonely back gradually moving away, Ergou ran in front of him all of a sudden.

"Lu Dongshu?"

Brother Gongzi surnamed Lu didn't wonder why the man in front of him knew his name at all, he looked at the strange man in front of him calmly.

"Didn't ask?"

The corners of Ergou's mouth grinned.

"The name doesn't matter, but I'm going to teach you a lesson. ”

"Listen to me. ”

He held a fan in both hands and saluted respectfully to Ergou, it seems that he is a reader who really understands etiquette.

"If you want to be an official, then you have to fight for it yourself, and you always think about relying on others, how can you do this? They all say that you scholars read a lot, so haven't you read a sentence that it is better to ask for others than to seek yourself?"

Lu Dongshu's face was full of bitterness, but he reluctantly forced a smile and said:

"Childe can say what I think in my heart, then I must also know the situation my Lu family is in now, that is, there is no place to fight if you want to!"

After hearing this, Ergou laughed hehehe.

"I don't know the fancy intestines in the hearts of you readers, but I always feel that if you don't try it yourself, how do you know that this way doesn't work?

Ergou paused at this point, and then continued.

"Besides, even if there is no road, can't you dig one for yourself? Do you have to wait for someone else to dig it for you before you go? That's too easy, although Da Chu is showing that he is not using you, but in the end, you have not read enough books, and you still know too little truth, you look at Mr. Chen Mu, who is also an official of the previous dynasty like you, but why is he more popular than you?"

After listening, Lu Dongshu's brows tightened and he couldn't stretch, and when he came to his senses, he actually made a disciple salute to Jiang Ergou.

"Thanks to the grace of Gongzi's teaching, I think I know how to go in the future. ”

He didn't plan to go into the temple again, but was going to take the scholar back, but before leaving, he glanced back at Jiang Ergou and Chen Xici, and finally, he stopped his eyes on Ergou.

"Childe's vision is good!"

After finishing speaking, the folding fan in his hand opened with a 'snap' and then turned away, and his back did not have the previous feeling of loneliness, as if a mountain had been unloaded.
