However, as soon as Meng Dongting's nine words came out, a big stone in Lu Mingui's heart had fallen to the ground, and he knew that if he followed this book, he would be safe and worry-free, and his mood immediately improved.

Lu Mingui looked Meng Dongting up and down carefully this time, and saw that although he was dressed simply, he had a long body, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was quite generous in his gestures, and his heart was already happy.

At the moment, he grinned and teased Wu Fengzhao: "Brother Xian, this is your mistake! I accepted a good apprentice of such intelligence, but asked him to pretend to be a scholar in front of me, and I was afraid that I would rob you of your beloved apprentice?"

But how did he know that Wu Fengzhao's surprise in his heart at this time was even better than his own.

Wu Fengzhao hurriedly said: "Brother Lu made fun of it, this kid is my new guest, and now he is indeed taking care of all affairs in my study temporarily." ”

Lu Mingui showed a look of disgust, and said angrily: "You are a brother at a loss, obviously this child is extremely intelligent, how can he be a scholar, am I really blind when I am a foolish brother?"

Wu Fengzhao was helpless, but he still explained vigorously.

Lu Mingui didn't believe it when he was killed, as Wu Fengzhao said, he was just a scholar who held books and served the grind, how could he be so talented?

The more Wu Fengzhao explained, the more Lu Mingui seemed to cover up the fact that Meng Dongting was his new apprentice.

Lu Mingui didn't want to force Wu Fengzhao to admit anymore, so he smiled and said, "Forget it, don't say whether this kid is your apprentice or not, after all, he helped me solve this problem." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to Meng Dongting and said, "Kid, come closer." ”

Meng Dongting didn't dare to slack off, and bowed close and said, "Please command!"

Lu Mingui said with a smile on his face: "You have done me a great favor, I owe you a great favor." I'm most afraid of owing favors, so tell me what you need, and I'll definitely want to reward you. ”

Meng Dongting hesitated for a while, but he didn't expect Lord Lu to reward himself, so he quickly shook his head and said: "It's just my luck, and I helped the adult solve this problem in a daze, how can I be punished without merit." ”

Lu Mingui saw that he didn't take credit at all, but he had a lot of bearing, so he didn't look like a scholar. I am afraid that it is a hundred times stronger than my uncompetitive son, and the joy in my heart has increased by two points.

Seeing that Meng Dongting insisted on not accepting it, he had no choice but to say to Wu Fengzhao: "Brother Xian, you have an idea, I should reward this kid with something." I really admit his affection. ”

Wu Fengzhao nodded and smiled: "Brother Lu, don't worry!"

After that, his eyes looked at Meng Dongting, but there were many questions in his eyes.

Lu Mingui stood up, patted Meng Dongting on the shoulder with laughter, and said, "This time it's thanks to this kid, otherwise my Fu Yin would have done it." I'll go to the court tomorrow and see what he has to say! Haha, haha. As he spoke, he took the two family members and said goodbye and went out.

Wu Fengzhao saw that Lu Mingui was full of joy, and he also laughed with him, so he got up and sent it to the door.

When he walked to Meng Dongting's side, he ordered in a low voice: "You stay for a while, and I will ask you a few words later." There was a lot of seriousness in the words.

Meng Dongting couldn't help but be frightened, and said secretly: "This time it's miserable, I'm arrogant, Master Wu must be angry in his heart, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do the work of a guest clerk for a long time." ”

After a while, Wu Fengzhao sent Lu Mingui away, hurriedly walked back to the study, and sat down behind the desk.

Meng Dongting saw that his face was not good, and he was even more afraid in his heart, and he didn't dare to move a little under his feet.

Wu Fengzhao looked at Meng Dongting again with a scrutinizing gaze, and after a while, he suddenly said: "You said that your name is Meng Dongting, but this is your real name?"

Meng Dongting was quite surprised in his heart, nodded and said: "The eldest husband was born in heaven and earth, and he will not change his name or surname if he sits, and the villain's surname is Meng Dongting, and he will never dare to deceive adults." ”

Wu Fengzhao didn't feel happy or angry when he heard this, he only closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about some problem.

Meng Dongting saw Wu Fengzhao closing his eyes and pondering, not knowing whether he was happy or angry, his mood was tense for a while, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

After a while, Wu Fengzhao opened his eyes and asked, "Have you participated in the scientific expedition in the past?"

Meng Dongting's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, I like to read since I was a child, but my family is poor, and I don't have any extra money for me to gain fame. ”

Wu Fengzhao saw that he was firm, so he sighed and said: "In the future, as a guest of my martial arts, you must be humble and cautious, and you must not show off for no reason." You know what?"

But he thought about it in his heart: "Although this person is a person entrusted by the old man to stay in my house to recuperate, but we must not ignore his origin, we must pay a good visit in private, and we must not cause more trouble." ”

"I see that he seems to have some skills, you might as well try him again tomorrow and see how many pounds and taels he has. ”

With his mind already decided, he commanded: "It's not too early, you go down and rest, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!"

On the second day, Meng Dongting still came to the study early as usual, and after wiping and cleaning, he meditated and cultivated his true qi. Although it is still difficult to say that the true qi runs freely, he feels refreshed every time he practices, and he has already generated a lot of discomfort after not practicing for a day.

After meditating and cultivating for nearly half an hour, he suddenly heard footsteps coming in the distance, knowing that it was Wu Fengzhao coming, he hurriedly put away his body, opened the door to greet Shi Li, and said, "Morning, master!"

Wu Fengzhao walked into the study, sat down behind the desk, and saw him with a serious expression, picked up the pen, and wrote a few words on the paper.

Meng Dongting looked at it, and saw the words "On the rise and fall of the Han and Tang Dynasties" written on the paper. He couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, and thought: "Master Wu, is this going to write a book or a biography, this topic is so big." Just talking about the rise and fall of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the cause and effect in it are very complex, and it is by no means a few words that can be analyzed clearly. ”

After Wu Fengzhao finished writing the title, he suddenly got up and said to Meng Dongting: "Xiao Meng, you come here and sit down." ”

Meng Dongting couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, he didn't know what Wu Fengzhao's intention was, so he had to sit obediently at the desk.

But I heard Wu Fengzhao say: "Today I wrote this question with the intention of testing you, this question is broad and difficult, you have to think carefully before writing." ”

Meng Dongting was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Master...... I...... I can't do it. ”

Wu Fengzhao smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You just write, write wherever you want, I aim to read your literary thoughts and sentences, don't panic." ”

Meng Dongting paused for a moment, and the unyielding energy in his heart surged up again, thinking: "Since Master Wu asked me to write, I just wrote, so why be afraid!"

Follow him with the pen and the idea in his head. After a while, he wrote hard and began to write.

Wu Fengzhao only watched from the sidelines, and after a while, he gently exited the study and left.

About an hour and a half, Wu Fengzhao saw that the time was almost the same, and then walked back to the study, only to see Meng Dongting still sitting on the Taishi chair behind the table, looking out of the window in a daze.

He said in his heart: "I think most of them are not from a serious Confucian background, and what they have learned is limited after all, and it will take less than an hour and a half, and I am afraid that Jiang Lang is already exhausted, and it will be difficult to write." ”

Wu Fengzhao asked, "Xiao Meng, why do you just sit in a daze, but you don't write?"

Meng Dongting came back to his senses, got up and bowed to the end and said, "Master, I have finished writing the villain, just wait for the master's guidance." ”
