Shen Yun took out the golden pheasant and other game from another Qiankun bag, set up a table full of them, and asked Hong Tianbao: "Is it enough to give these as gifts to Ning Duwei?"

"Add two more jars of good wine, and it should be about the same. Hong Tianbao turned his head and asked Qi Bo, "Is there any wine left from the last time?"

"There are five altars left. Zieber replied.

Hong Tianbao nodded: "Take two altars out." Stay for a while, and I'll give you the address of Lord Ning Duwei's mansion. Tomorrow morning, I will send it with these. ”

Qi Bo replied: "Yes." ”

The gift is done. Shen Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, early in the morning, after Shen Yun cleaned up, he went to the hall of the main house for breakfast - Hong Tianbao really took Qi Bo and them as a family. If there were no outsiders, usually, they would eat together in the hall of Hong Tianbao's main house.

"Master Shen, morning. Aunt Luo happened to come in with a pot of corn porridge, saw his face, and exclaimed, "Your face is ......."

Not only the face, but the whole person, has darkened a lot. Did something happen last night?

At this time, Qi Bo and the others also noticed it, and they gathered around with concern, and asked one after another: "Shen Ye, where are you uncomfortable?"

"Why did it suddenly turn black?"

"It's okay to look at the spirit, do you want to invite a Lang Zhong?"

Shen Yun touched his face a little embarrassed: "Hmm, it's okay." He can't say that he heard Hong Tianbao say yesterday that there are people in Xiandu who specialize in robbing men, and he thinks that he looks good, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he deliberately smeared a layer of powder on his face, pretending to be black and ugly.

Hong Tianbao was washing inside, and when he heard the movement outside, he wiped his face indiscriminately, and walked out quickly: "What's wrong?" Seeing that Shen Yun had turned into a black boy overnight, his handsome eyes suddenly lost a lot, and he immediately realized it, and laughed repeatedly, "If you want it, you have to get it, so it won't be conspicuous." ”

was broken by him, and everyone understood.

Qi Bo shook his head again and again: "What kind of world is this?" ”

"Be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years. Lao Luo touched his beard.

Next to her, Aunt Luo was "fluttering": "Even if you don't have a beard, you won't be robbed." People only rob young offspring who have not married. ”

"You have to look good! Don't be too fat. Sister Ah Hua made up for it.

Hong Tianbao stroked his forehead: "Sister Hua, in the past two days, I haven't grabbed braised pork with you to eat." ”

The topic of "hahaha......haha" was successfully diverted, and no one mentioned Shen Yun's blackening anymore.

However, when he went out and got into the carriage, Hong Tianbao stepped forward with a thief's eyes and stared at his face with a gossip on his face: "Will this water fade?"

Shen Yun's face darkened even more: "No." It can be washed off with a potion. ”

"Give me a little bit of that, too. Hong Tianbao touched his round bun face, "In these days, a man is too good-looking to live in peace." ”

Shen Yun almost laughed: Just your fat body...... Don't know where confidence comes from?

However, he still responded: "When I go back, I will write the recipe to you." ”

Ning Duwei lives in an ordinary alley in Dongcheng District.

Because Qi Bo hired someone to send the gift over early in the morning, after Shen Yun and the others arrived, they immediately got a warm response after explaining their identity and intention to the half-eldest son who was guarding the door.

"My lord is waiting for the two masters. The little guy hurriedly invited them inside.

It's a small yard to enter. In the palm-sized courtyard, there is a large clay pot in the middle. In the northeast corner, there is a plum plant. At this time, the pale yellow plum blossoms are full of branches, and the fragrance is all over the courtyard.

Shen Yun and the two of them were led under the porch of the main house by the little servant.

"Master, Master Hong and Master Shen have arrived. The little servant went into the house to preach.

Soon, a strong male voice in the room responded, "Please come in." ”

"Yes. The little guy stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "Two masters, please." ”

On the porch was a pair of black satin and white-soled official boots. Shen Yun and Hong Tianbao also followed the customs, took off their shoes on the porch, wore only socks, stood under the wooden lattice door covered with white window paper, and saluted together with their fists: "Wait to see Lord Duwei in the evening." ”

"Whoa", the wooden lattice door was pushed open.

A tall middle-aged man appeared at the door. He looked to be in his early forties, with a thick black beard that was more than half a foot long, wearing a half-worn round-necked, narrow-sleeved moon-white brocade robe, and also wearing socks.

"It's cold outside, come in, don't stand at the door and talk. He was saluted and greeted heartily.

The living room was not as big as the inside of his east wing, and the small room was covered with wooden floors and polished. Facing the door, a half-old mahogany chest of drawers sits next to the wall. In the center is a white woollen mattress with a boxy mahogany table on top. There was no burning dragon, but a pot of copper charcoal burning was placed next to the small table.

Ning Duwei beckoned the two of them to sit down at the table and instructed the little servant: "Serve tea." ”

"Yes. The little servant closed the lattice door and ran down the porch.

"Who of you is Shen Yun?" Ning Duwei asked directly.

Shen Yun hurriedly stood up and reported with his fists clenched: "Wait for Shen Yun later." ”

Ning Duwei was surprised: "You have already condensed your true qi?" said, "Zi" inhaled, "It's not right." Brother Qian specifically mentioned in the letter that you haven't tested your fame yet. Could it be a clerical error?"

Of course it can't be a clerical error. That's a euphemism. He suspected that Shen Yun in front of him was a fake—he condensed his true qi, went to participate in the martial arts exam, and easily passed the senior martial arts exam. If you are willing to go out, you will start with seven products. If you are willing to spend money, you can buy it from Wupin. People in the world practice martial arts, mostly for fame and fortune. He has lived for decades, and he rarely sees the ability of a high-level martial artist, but he hasn't even taken the junior martial arts test.

Shen Yun replied: "I will concentrate on martial arts in the evening, and I will not have the heart to seek fame for the time being. ”

"I see. Ning Duwei smiled, "No wonder Brother Qian values you so much, and wrote a letter of recommendation for you for the first time." After that, he pointed to a small notebook on the table, "After reading Brother Qian's letter, the old man thought that you were here for the martial artist." Therefore, a few martial arts halls were selected in advance. Now, though, it seems that none of them are quite suitable. ”

"It's bothering the adults. Shen Yun responded.

Ning Duwei waved his hand and looked at Hong Tianbao again: "Are you also Brother Qian's disciple?" Those martial arts halls are suitable for this one.

Hong Tianbao got up: "Wait for Hong Tianbao late." He is also a disciple of the Hongyun Martial Arts Pavilion. I have been studying in Xiandu for more than three years, and I will return to my hometown soon. ”

The implication is that he and Shen Yun are from the same school, but he has not studied martial arts with Qian Shizun, and he has no intention of learning art in the Xiandu Pavilion.

Ning Duwei bowed slightly: "The old man has heard that the Hongyun Martial Arts Pavilion encourages his disciples to go out to study for a period of three years. I also agree with this move. ”

As soon as the conversation changed, he continued to talk to Shen Yun about the study tour in the hall, "With your current ability, it is okay to be a martial artist in the martial arts hall of Xiandu. If you are a traveling disciple, you are too condescending, and you can't learn anything, so there is no need to waste time. It's just that you don't have the reputation of a martial artist, and you can't be a martial artist. Why don't you go and take a meritorious test? Now you can still sign up for the martial arts exam. The old man vouched for you and recommended you to directly participate in the junior martial arts exam. For you, it will be easy for you to pass the junior martial artist first and then take the intermediate martial artist exam in the coming year. ”
