In the hall of Meng's mansion, Meng Ran sat on the main seat, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and was stunned.

Li Haoran glanced at Meng Ran, and only said, "Let's rest early tonight." ”

After Li Haoran left, only the master Meng Ran, Oiran Seinfeld, and the maid were left in the hall.

Meng Ran raised his eyes slightly, looked at Seinfeld in a red shirt, and asked softly, "Where is Miss Fei'er from?"

Seinfeld was blessed and said, "The concubine is from Muping County, Dengzhou, Henan Province. ”

"Far enough. Meng Ran sighed casually and continued to ask, "Then I don't think Seinfeld is your real name?"

Seinfeld nodded slightly, but never said her real name.

Meng Ran smiled lightly, and instructed Lu Ping, who was standing on the side: "Green screen, wait a minute, you can ask Chunhua to clean up a room for Miss Song, so that you can take care of it." ”

The green bottle looked at Meng Ran with an embarrassed expression, and said in a low voice: "Young master, there is no suitable room in the main courtyard anymore. ”

Meng Ran sighed and said to Seinfeld: "Miss Fei'er, there are already three rough men living in the main courtyard, I'm afraid you are not used to being with us, why don't you live in the front yard, which is convenient and quiet, what do you think?"

Seinfeld thanked him with a salute, "Thank you for your understanding, and the concubine is grateful." ”

Meng Ran waved his hand and said, "Then rest early." ”

Seinfeld couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when the back of Meng Ran's master and servant disappeared into the hall.

After Meng Ran returned to his room, he was not in a hurry to rest, but went to the study, ready to practice calligraphy for a while.

In front of the desk, Meng Ran took the inkstone, first dropped a few drops of water into it, and then picked up the ink strips in the box and gently grinded them.

Before the ink was polished, Green Screen entered the study, took the ink strip casually, and the right hand that grabbed the ink strip slowly circled over the inkstone.

When the ink was just right, Meng Ran took out a piece of fine rice paper, spread it flat on the table, and after placing the paperweight, he took a fine-tailed wolf hair from the pen holder.

After lightly dipping the fine ink into the thick ink, Meng Ran wrote a paragraph on the paper, only to see that the pen on the rice paper was like a sharp knife out of the sheath, and the words were like a generous and strong man, and it was a great murderous aura.

This is the first time Meng Ran has written in this study, and the poems of the great poet Li Taibai of the former dynasty are written on the paper:

Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Hook Shuang Xueming. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star.

Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name.

Idle over the letter tomb drink, take off the sword and kneel forward. will scorch Zhu Hai and persuade Hou Huan.

Three cups of Turannuo, Wuyue is light. After the eyes are dazzled and the ears are hot, the spirit is born.

Save Zhao with a golden hammer, Handan was shocked first. Two strong men in Qianqiu, Xuanhe Liang City.

The bones of the arson are fragrant, and he is not ashamed of the world. Who can write Your Excellency, the white head is too mystical.

After Meng Ran put down his pen, he looked at the maid on the side and asked softly, "Is the matter done?"

Green Screen nodded, "I have explained Chunhua, and she will be responsible for Miss Song's daily life in the future, if there is anything, she will come and tell me." ”

Meng Ran bowed his head slightly, and praised: "It's a good job, Miss Song, if there is anything, I will be the first to know." ”

Green Screen sighed.

......

On August 16, Meng Ran got up early as usual, and first slashed 2,000 knives before the sun rose. When the green screen brought breakfast, the energetic Li Haoran also came to the backyard.

After Meng Ran finished eating, he motioned to the green screen to pack up his things and retreat. When there were only two people left in the backyard, Meng Ran said to Li Haoran: "Senior, is there a famous forging master in the city?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Nature is about making a good knife. ”

Li Haoran rolled his eyes and said disapprerovingly: "You better practice your sword skills with peace of mind, don't think about having an advantage in weapons." ”

Meng Ran snorted, and didn't dwell on this topic anymore, just sat there to rest.

After a while, Li Haoran opened his mouth and asked, "That's how it happened last night?"

Meng Ran shook his head, "They will definitely come back." ”

Li Haoran thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that the next time it will not be these ordinary people, it is very likely that they will be soldiers in armor, or some Jianghu guests who are not low in cultivation." ”

Meng Ran smiled lightly, and said in a dull voice: "If it really comes to that time, I bother you to take Uncle Geng to go first, don't worry about me." ”

Li Haoran sneered, "I didn't expect your kid to have such dedication." ”

Meng Ran pursed his lips.

Li Haoran looked at Meng Ran with a gossipy face, and said with a smile: "The moon of fifteen is sixteen, do you plan to enter the cave room tonight?"

Meng Ran coughed lightly and did not answer.

Li Haoran said leisurely: "That girl looks good and has a good figure, so you are not tempted at all?"

Meng Ran took a deep breath, tried to calm his mood, and said in a clear voice: "I'm not interested in the stakes planted by others. ”

"Yo, how did you see that?" asked Li Haoran with squinted eyes.

"First, she just packed her luggage hastily and almost didn't bring anything; second, she knew that she was going to change the court, but she was still wearing the red shirt in the green building; third, I couldn't trust Zhou Xiaowu, and naturally I couldn't trust the person he arranged. Meng Ran said his analysis again.

Li Haoran smiled and said, "As far as you scholars have many twists and turns, you are not afraid of knots in your stomach. ”

Meng Ran turned a deaf ear.

Li Haoran sat beside Meng Ran, and asked with a strange look in his eyes: "Since you know that she has a problem, why don't you take this opportunity to sleep with her?"

"Persuasion?"

"That's right, pajamas. ”

"What kind of persuasion method? She is Zhou Xiaowu's person, how can she be convinced by me. Meng Ran spread his hands.

Li Haoran just smiled and ignored Meng Ran, who looked ignorant.

Meng Ran was no longer bored with himself, sat down cross-legged in the pavilion, and cultivated silently.

Li Haoran squinted at Meng Ran for a while, and saw that his breath was long, and the true qi in his body was running in an orderly manner, so he stopped looking at it, and closed his eyes to enjoy the warm sunshine of late autumn.

When the sun moved to the top of the mountains and rivers, Li Haoran slowly opened his eyes, gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, he stood up, stretched his waist, and shouted to Meng Ran, who was sitting in the pavilion with his eyes closed: "Meng boy, it's time to eat." ”

Meng Ran's eyelids moved a few times, but he didn't get up immediately, and after he made a dull dantian action, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Haoran standing in front of him, and asked softly, "Senior, have you also cultivated?"

"Oh, how do you know?" Li Haoran asked curiously.

The corners of Meng Ran's mouth curled slightly, "I guess." ”

Li Haoran rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Let's eat, you talk a lot of nonsense." ”

After the two returned to the main courtyard, the maid immediately waited for the two to wash, and then it was lunch.

After Meng Ran finished eating, he asked the maid standing on the side, "What's the situation with Uncle Geng and Miss Fei'er?"

Green Screen replied: "Everything is fine on Mr. Geng's side, the wound has slowly grown, and he is starting to try to get out of bed and walk; ”

Meng Ran thought for a moment and ordered: "In the afternoon, you ask Lao Han to go to the hospital to find a doctor to come for a follow-up consultation, and take a look at Uncle Geng's injury, so as not to leave any sequelae." ”

The green screen replied softly: "Got it, young master." ”

Meng Ran waved his hand, and the green screen cleaned up the rest of the things and went out quietly.

Li Haoran sat there bored, holding a teacup in his hand, looking like he was not drinking, he was not drinking.

Meng Ran looked amused and asked tentatively, "Senior, do you have something on your mind?"

Li Haoran shook his head and sighed softly: "It's just that the days are too boring, and staying in this square inch all day is really uninteresting." ”

"Then what do you want to do?" Meng Ran asked with a smile.

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Li Haoran asked rhetorically.

"Yes, but we don't have any horses. ”

"Go to the horse market and buy it. ”

Meng Ran was stunned for a moment and asked, "Senior will be Soma?"

Li Haoran replied: "Of course not, as long as you can ride, it doesn't matter what kind of horse it is." ”

Meng Ran held back for a long time before he said slowly: "The senior's idea is very good, but the younger generation can't reach it." ”

Li Haoran glared at him and scolded: "Don't pat yourself on the back, are you going?"

"It's definitely going, but it's a little late today, so why not wait for tomorrow?" Meng Ran said as he discussed.

Li Haoran frowned slightly and asked, "Do you have other plans?"

Meng Ran smiled, "I'm waiting for the guests to come." ”

"Guest?"

"Yes, guest. ”

Li Haoran thought for a moment and asked, "The one surnamed Zhu?"

Meng Ran shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just think there will be guests." ”

Li Haoran smiled lightly and said, "If someone really comes, they will be uncomfortable in the future." ”

"Oh, why?" Meng Ran was a little puzzled.

"Think about it, you are still so young, you are already well versed in those conspiracies and calculations, if you have more experience, I am afraid that few people are your opponents, how can they not be uncomfortable?" Li Haoran said eloquently.

Meng Ran asked with a bitter face, "Are you praising me or scolding me?"

Li Haoran said as a matter of course: "Of course I'm praising you." ”

Meng Ran sighed, turned around and went to the study, took a book casually, and flipped through it there.

Sure enough, after about a pillar of incense, the maid Green Screen came to report, saying that it was a guest from outside the house.

Meng Ran instructed: "Go and invite guests." ”

The green screen agreed and hurried towards the front yard, while Meng Ran walked slowly towards the hall.

As soon as Meng Ran stepped into the hall, he saw Zhou Xiaowu enter the courtyard under the leadership of the green screen, he was not in a hurry to sit down, but stood there and watched the guests walk in step by step.

Zhou Xiaowu's body had not yet entered the hall, and the voice reached Meng Ran's ears.

"Brother Xian, are you okay? I frightened you last night. ”

Meng Ran pulled a qualified smile and said, "Brother Lao cares, and the younger brother is grateful." ”

As he was speaking, Zhou Xiaowu had already entered the hall, and he happened to be standing in front of Meng Ran, looking at him with a sincere face, and asked softly, "Brother Xian, are you injured?"

Meng Ran shook his head.

Zhou Xiaowu patted Meng Ran on the shoulder and said, "That's good, it seems that there are still benefits to learning knives, and I will try to practice another day." ”

Meng Ran smiled noncommittally.
