On the official road in the west of the city, an old man, a young man, and a soldier all rode donkeys.
It was the three of them.
Under the introduction of the old fox, Ma Ping became the master of the Purple Mountain Temple, where his family had been in contact for generations, and this time he went to their house to escape the summer; Liu Shusheng did not doubt this, because the Dao Law of the world was manifested, and it was common for rich families to worship the Taoist Temple for a long time.
Take the current Purple Mountain View as an example, the Wang family and the Zhao family in Pingyang City are all enshrined on time. It's just that this matter was not told to Ma Ping, and the two members directly handed it over to the people below.
Gossip is not over, let's just say that the three of them arrived at the Huangfu Manor in the mouth of the old fox on the second day.
When the three of them got close on donkeys, they saw that:
Black tiles and white walls, shaded by trees;
The courtyard is open and there are groups of child servants.
What a big estate!
The manor is surrounded by dense trees, all of which are extremely tall trees, the messy branches and leaves are neatly trimmed, the shrubs are cleared, and only the fallen leaves are left on the ground, and the forest is quiet and peaceful.
A shallow, clear stream gurgled out and bent around the manor gate.
Suddenly seeing such a scene, Liu Shusheng became a little nervous again, and said solemnly:
"It's magnificent!"
The old fox didn't dare to be proud, there was a bright-eyed person next to him, and he said busily:
"Where, where, the humble house can enter the eyes of the public, and the old decay will be relieved!"
Although Liu Shusheng was restrained, he still did not change his nerdy nature, shook his head and retorted:
"What did the staff say? Such a mansion is not owned by a few in the entire Pingyang City, right?!"
Ma Ping on the side couldn't bear their nonsense, and it was just a little illusion in front of him, so he said:
"Scholar, Mencius can't be lewd if you're rich, you can't move if you're poor, you can't bend your might, this is a big husband!"
"It's just a squire's manor, why can't you hold on to yourself?"
Liu Shusheng was stunned when he heard this, and then bowed to Ma Ping and said:
"Thank you for waking up! Xiaosheng almost went astray!"
"Hmm" nodded slightly, Ma Ping turned his head to look at the old fox and said:
"Then let's go in!"
"Yes! Yes, enter the garden!" the old fox wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and instructed the boy servant to take down the donkeys and salutes of several people, and then stretched out his hand:
"Dao Chief, please! Liu Xianggong, please!"
Ma Ping didn't give in, and walked straight inside, and the old fox and Liu Shusheng hurriedly followed.
When I arrived at the main hall, the food and wine had been prepared.
A few people sat down, and the old fox was afraid that Ma Ping would misunderstand, so he pointed to the dishes on the table and said:
"Dao Chief, these dishes are all sent by the Zhang Ji Hotel in the city, please use them!"
How could Ma Ping not be able to distinguish between illusion and reality?
When the old fox saw it, he was also happy to know that he had done it right, and then turned to Liu Shusheng and greeted:
"Yoo Xianggong, please!"
Liu Shusheng thanked him:
"Thank you!"
The three of them began to eat, and there were maidservants on the side who were busy presenting soup and setting up dishes;
"Outside, I don't know how old Ling Lang Ling Ai is, where are you now?"
The old fox smiled and said:
"Don't worry~ Don't worry! After the meal is finished, the old man will let them come over to meet the father-in-law"
Liu Shusheng nodded when he heard this, thinking that he would have to take a good test at that time, so that he could teach students according to their aptitude and live up to such a warm hospitality from the emperor!
After finishing the meal, the emperor ordered his subordinates to remove the leftovers, and then a servant girl brought tea, and the three of them rinsed their mouths and spit the tea in their mouths into the copper pot held by the servant girl.
Then there was a few small words, and a servant girl came up and said:
"Master, Childe and Miss are awake"
The emperor commanded:
"Let them come in and meet the Taoist and Mister!"
"Yes, sir!" said the maidservant.
Not long after, two teenagers and girls of fifteen or sixteen walked in hand in hand.
They were all wearing high-end clothes with no visible material, and they looked radiant.
The young man looked like Pan An, looking forward to the brilliance, with a red forehead on his head and a jewel embedded in it. The girl was bright and bright, with a graceful figure, and wore a long skirt of lake green.
The two of them walked to the middle and saluted as if they were courteous:
"Father, I'm well~"
"Hmm" Huangfu nodded slightly, and then introduced Ma Ping first:
"This is the Purple Mountain View Chongming Dao Chief, you will come and see it first!"
Ma Ping looked at the two little foxes with a smile on the corner of his mouth, oh, young girl, when he saw them, he immediately saluted respectfully:
"Huangfu Ming (Huangfu Jiaona) has seen the Taoist, may the Taoist Immortal Immortal Blessing be enjoyed forever, and the longevity will be with Tianqi!"
"Huh?" It was easy to hold back a mouthful of water without squirting out, and greeted Sect Master Hong in his heart, Ma Ping put down the cup and said lightly:
"Get up!" added in his heart:
"Since your father has invited Mr. Liu, you have to study hard, you know!?"
The two little foxes knew Ma Ping's identity, and they had not yet departed from the nature of animals, and they were sincerely afraid of the breath on Ma Ping's body, so they responded respectfully when they heard the words:
"Yes, I'll do as I was told!"
Huangfu waited again, and when he saw that Ma Ping was not saying much, he pointed to Liu Shusheng and said:
"This is your husband, why don't you see him!?"
The two little foxes bowed again:
"I've seen sir!"
Liu Shusheng saw the two villains saluting respectfully, and he was satisfied, the emperor's family is so rich, but the children's tutoring is not simple!
Although he was satisfied in his heart, he didn't show anything on his face, put up the shelf of the division commander, and said:
"Well, let me ask you, what books have you read?"
Then the young man, whose name was Huang Fuming, came out and answered:
"Mr. Hui, Ming has learned three hundred thousand, and is currently preparing to learn "Kindergarten Qionglin"
Seeing that the young man was already fifteen or sixteen years old, Liu Shusheng frowned slightly, and said:
"After reading "Kindergarten Learning", you will be able to read, this book can let you understand astronomy and geography, rules and regulations, customs and etiquette, etc., you should memorize it with your heart"
Huang Fuming replied:
"Yes, sir!"
"Hmm" Liu Shusheng nodded slightly, and looked at the girl again, the emperor said that it was taught by children together, so we also have to see how her progress is:
"Where have you learned?"
Huangfu Jing first bowed respectfully, and then replied:
"Mr. Hui, the slave family studied with his brother, and now he has just learned "Kindergarten Qionglin"
Liu Shusheng has a lot of debts, and the two of them have the same progress, which is also convenient for him to teach later, so he nodded slightly and said:
"Then you also have to remember well, "Kindergarten Qionglin" is the basis of reading"
"Yes, sir!"
Because it is not an apprenticeship, but just a banquet for the west, there is no need to do the set of serving tea, and everyone has decided like this.
In this way, more than ten days passed.
On this day, there is thunder in the summer rain!
It's time for the emperor to cross the catastrophe!
