After eating, Steward Qin ordered a pot of hot tea to come over.

"It's a finch tongue. While pouring tea for Shen Yun, he explained, "Xiandu people like to drink a pot of thickly soaked finch tongue after dinner, which is good for oiliness. I'm not from Xiandu, and when I first came, I was a little unaccustomed to drinking such strong tea. After drinking it a few times, I can't do without it. If you don't drink a pot after a meal, it feels like eating vegetables without salt. I wonder if Steward Shen is used to drinking?"

Shen Yun took the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”

Steward Qin made another gesture of please: "Is it because your hometown also has the habit of drinking strong tea after dinner? I have had dinner with Elder Jin a few times. It seems that their masters and apprentices also have the habit of drinking strong tea after meals. ”

Hearing this, Shen Yun finally understood the reason for this meal. He pretended not to know: "I also drink tea in my hometown." Generally, cloud tea is drunk in winter, flower tea is drunk in spring and autumn, and herbal tea is drunk in summer. I also drank the tongue for the first time in my life after I arrived in Xiandu. Personally, I really like its strong fragrance. Does Elder Jin like to drink tea?" Speaking of this, he deliberately leaned towards Steward Qin, "Is it a finch tongue?"

Steward Qin's eyes fluttered: "Don't you know?"

Shen Yun scratched his head: "How do I know?" I haven't seen Elder Jin again. ”

"However, that day, Fu Lei was Elder Jin's apprentice, and he treated you very affectionately. We all thought you were fellow countrymen. Steward Qin looked surprised.

Shen Yun waved his hand: "Misunderstanding." I was recommended to Elder Jin by Lord Ning Duwei. Lord Ning Duwei is a friend of a master surnamed Qian in our martial arts hall. I wanted to come to Xiandu to study, and I found out that Qian Shizun had a strong relationship with a friend in Xiandu, so I spent five hundred taels of silver and asked Qian Shizun to write a letter of recommendation to Lord Ning Duwei. I didn't expect that Lord Ning Duwei would be so righteous and find me an errand so quickly. Well, Brother Fu, as well as Steward Qin, are also good people. Take care of me. As he spoke, he picked up the bowl with both hands, "I'm very grateful." Here, I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, replaced wine with tea, and paid tribute to Qin stewards. ”

What kind of words are the most deceptive? Of course, this kind of conflation of truth and falsehood. Shen Yun didn't know why Steward Qin was so interested in his relationship with Master Jin's apprentice, but he knew very well that Elder Jin was a fake identity that the Pavilion Master had taken great pains to hide. Of course, he couldn't pull the hall master's hind legs. Whoever asked, he had to help weave it.

"It should. Steward Qin happily also picked up the tea bowl.

When I left the dining room, I stepped out of the private room next door.

Steward Qin's popularity is good. Seeing him, one of the tall and thin men immediately invited him enthusiastically: "Old Qin, we are about to look for you." My brother has a new sword, and you can help him palm his eyes to see which craftsman it came from. ”

"But I'm ......" Steward Qin looked at Shen Yun and introduced to them, "Oh, this is the new Steward Shen from our Library Pavilion. ”

Those stewards all hugged their fists at Shen Yun: "Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." ”

The tall and thin man asked again: "My name is Liu Kui, and I am from the Internal Affairs Bureau." I don't know if Steward Shen is free, if you are willing to go to my place with Steward Qin to sit for a while. ”

Shen Yun waved his hand and declined: "I don't know how to sword, thank you." After that, he hugged his fist to Steward Qin again, "Thank you Steward Qin for your hospitality." If you have something to do, just go and get busy. I'll go back to the library first. ”

"You're welcome. Steward Qin cupped his fists and saluted back.

Because of his outstanding hearing, Shen Yun walked far away, and he could still hear their deliberate low-pitched conversations:

"The new guy has a lot of eyesight. ”

"It seems that even the reputation of a junior martial artist is not there. ”

"Isn't he afraid of being slapped on the ground by some naughty disciple?"

"Haven't you heard, there are people above ...... people"

However, until they walked away, the sound of the conversation could no longer be heard, and Shen Yun did not hear Steward Qin speak.

At noon the next day, he went out to eat at the dining room. This time, Steward Zhang trotted up from behind: "Steward Shen, go to dinner?"

Shen Yun responded: "Hmm." ”

"Are you Elder Jin's little fellow countryman?" asked Steward Zhang, with sparkling eyes.

Shen Yun made a stunned look and pointed at the tip of his nose: "I, Elder Jin's little fellow countryman, who is talking nonsense?"

"No?" Steward Zhang hehe, "That, maybe I heard it wrong." Uh, I remember, I still have some things to do, and I won't be able to go to the dining hall in a while. Steward Shen, you go first. See you later. With that, he ran down the other road.

In the afternoon, Steward Qin came to him with a guilty face: "I'm sorry, Steward Shen." I didn't expect those guys' mouths to be so broken. Last night, across the wall, they overheard our chat, and it got out so quickly. ”

Shen Yun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "You mean, the rumor that I am Elder Jin's little countryman was spread by them? I thought I had heard the rumors. However, last night, what I clearly said was that I didn't know Elder Jin. ”

"They must have listened. Steward Qin clenched his fists and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." If it weren't for my simple plan, I would have invited you to eat in the dining hall, and I wouldn't have made these rumors. If I wait for Elder Jin to come back and hear these rumors, I don't know what I will think. It's all my negligence, which has caused trouble for Steward Shen. ”

"Nothing. When Elder Jin comes back, I'll explain it to him. Lord Ning Duwei is a very good talker, and Elder Jin is his friend, so he is the same person. As long as I say please Chu, I don't think Elder Jin will blame him. Shen Yun comforted.

Steward Qin was still very guilty: "This matter is all because of me." At that time, I will go with Steward Shen. ”

"Okay. Shen Yun responded with a full mouth.

Two days later, Steward Qin came over to Shen Yun again: "I heard that Elder Jin is back. I'm afraid he'll hear those rumors. ”

Shen Yun understood, and took the initiative to say, "Without further ado." We will now go and ask Elder King to explain to him what is being said. lest Elder Jin listen from elsewhere and have unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

"That's very good. ”

So, the two went to Dongyang Courtyard together to meet Elder Jin.

After the porter went in to pass the word, he quickly came out: "Elder Jin has something, so I told you to wait here." I'll pass you in later. ”

However, nearly half an hour passed, and the "stay for a while" did not arrive.

Toyoin is no better than the library pavilion. This is one of the centers of the Tiger Leap Hall, and the stewards come and go. The two of them stood at the foot of the steps, and met the strange eyes of the stewards, so they were not embarrassed.

But it's not over yet.

After another quarter of an hour, a steward came out of the room. He stood on the porch and said loudly, "Elder Jin said, he knows what you want to say. Go back, remember, don't be an example. ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Yun felt that everyone's eyes had gathered.

Beside him, Steward Qin was even more red-faced, ashamed.

The two returned to the library in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, it's me who has been involved with Steward Shen. You were attacked in public by Elder Jin. Steward Qin apologized again.

Shen Yun waved his hand: "This is a good thing." Elder Jin had a seizure this time, and this matter was over. With his status, he will no longer embarrass us because of rumors. ”

"Makes sense. Although Steward Shen is young, he is very transparent in terms of human feelings. Steward Qin praised.

"There are no two penalties. Shouldn't it be like this?" Shen Yun's eyes widened and he looked at him puzzled.

Steward Qin was slightly stunned, and then said in a continuous voice: "Yes, yes, yes, that's the case." ”
