When the first rays of sunlight in the morning fell on the small courtyard, Zhong Ling was already cleaning the yard, sweeping away the yellow sand that had accumulated in the yard overnight, wiping the dust off the stone tables and stone benches in the yard, and Zhong Ling, who was holding his sleeves, began to cook on the fire again, preparing food for the yellow sorghum.

Because it is approaching the end of autumn, the summer vegetables have been lost, and the prices of all kinds of vegetables in the market are soaring, and the Huang family can not see green in their meals these days. However, Huangliang and Zhongshan have a slu, and some of the two of them are buds and wheat, and they will not be without food, but the seasonal vegetables are gone.

When the sorghum was up, the yard had been thoroughly cleaned, the floating sand on the windowsill had been wiped clean, the corn paste and paste had been placed on the stone table, a plate of pickled cucumbers, and no other vegetables and vegetables.

Huang Liang squeaked and chewed cucumber strips, while asking Zhong Ling about the movements of the neighborhood in the past two days, whether the Admiral's Mansion had recruited villagers for training, and had not started to repair the city wall, and whether the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain had come down the mountain to cheat money......

"Brother, you are talking nonsense, the Taoist of Longhu Mountain is a good person with high morality, helping everyone to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and doing a lot of good things, how can it be a fraud money. ”

Zhong Ling drank the gruel, pursed his lips and said, two small dimples flew up on his cheeks, and while stuffing the pasted cake into Huang Liang's hand, he chattered Huang Liang Don't talk nonsense, the Taoist will get angry when he hears it.

"There are no demons or monsters in this world. ”

Huang Liang corrected Zhong Ling's words, there are magical literary talents in this world, there are high and high martial arts, and there are tigers who can lead, but there are no demons and monsters. The old Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain is, tiger demon and wolf demon every time, what is it if he is not a liar. The last time he caught the tiger spirit, the old Taoist priest himself admitted that he was martial arts, not Taoist talismans.

Zhong Ling frowned when he heard this, my brother knows a lot of things, and what he said will not be wrong, but the Taoist chief of Longhu Mountain will not be wrong, the neighbor Hu sister-in-law said that the evil in his family is that the Taoist chief does magic to drive away the evil demons, and this will be good.

"The Taoist shouldn't be able to deceive people, right?"

Zhong Ling said with some uncertainty, people have intimacy, involving intimacy and distance, Zhong Ling did not hesitate to believe that Huang Liang would not lie to himself, and although the Taoist chief of Longhu Mountain has prestige, he is not as good as his eldest brother after all.

"Mr. Xiao Huang, Zhao came to apprentice with his daughter. ”

Outside the wooden fence door, Zhao Tuiguan bowed solemnly and shouted to Huang Liang through the door.

Behind Zhao Tuiguan, a bright black carriage stood quietly, there were two servants driving on the left and right, a little girl was sitting on the wheel, looking at everything in the yard curiously, on the top of the carriage, a little girl with pink and jade braids, her nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not looking at Huangliang.

Huang Liang hurriedly got up, opened the wooden fence door, and invited Zhao Tuiguan to come in.

"The adults came here so early, and they were scared late. ”

Zhao Tuiguan came in with a smile, and ordered the servants behind him to bring the young lady in, and then sat down on the chair that Zhong Ling had moved, and said to Huang Liang across the table.

"Don't be surprised by Mr. Xiao Huang, Zhao is anxious, he has been an official for so many years, and this anxious problem has not changed. Mulan came over and saw Mr. Huang. ”

When Zhao Tuiguan said this, he stretched out his hand and beckoned the little girl with braids to come over, with a kind smile on her face.

Dragged off the roof of the carriage by two servants, the little girl was obviously a little unhappy, but she didn't dare to disobey her father, so she obediently blessed Huangliang and said it crisply.

"Mulan has seen Mr. Huang, I heard the third sister say Mr. Huang, the poems you wrote are good, the poems are good, can you let me be admitted to the Tongsheng Examination?"

Huang Liang smiled helplessly, "I can't teach you anything if you want to be admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, if you want to learn poetry well, you can come to me." ”

Xiao Mulan bit her fingers, frowned and thought for a while, "Then the poems you wrote have a water tune song head, okay?" The third sister said that Huang Liang's water tune song head is the best. ”

"Isn't it Mr. Huangliang in front of you, Mulan, don't make trouble, hurry up and apprentice. ”

Zhao Tuiguan scolded his daughter and urged Mulan to bow to Huangliang.

The little girl kowtowed to Huang Liang unhappily when she heard this: "Mulan has seen Mr. Huang, please Mr. Huang, you can teach me well, so that I can write good poems, so that the third sister does not have to marry someone she doesn't like, and the eldest sister and the second sister don't have to suffer at her mother-in-law's house." ”

Huang Liang looked at Zhao Mulan strangely, Zhao Tuiguan's two daughters, the eldest Zhao Mulan was eight years old, how could she have three sisters above her.

Zhao Tuiguan saw Huang Liang's doubts, and explained with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Huang smiled, the third sister that the little girl said was the third daughter of General Feng. A little apprenticeship, I hope that Mr. will smile and accept, if Mulan can be admitted to the child's school, Zhao will have another reciprocation. ”

While speaking, Zhao Tuiguan commanded the servant to take a package and put it down, and the package was placed on the table, making a muffled sound, it seemed that the package was filled with silver, and Zhong Ling's delicate eyes next to him flashed with light.

Huang Liang did not refuse, these silver may not be nothing to Zhao Tuiguan, but it is a big expense for himself, he can have an extra dish for every meal at home, Zhong Ling does not have to be so careful every day, and he has tried his best to eat two more meat dishes for himself and Zhong Shan.

Zhao Tuiguan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Huang Liang did not refuse this apprenticeship, this time Mulan's apprenticeship would be completed. In order to make a breakthrough in Mulan's literary style, he took Mulan to worship many teachers, and even gave up his old face, begged his mentor Han to sacrifice wine, and let Mulan enter the country to study.

But the results are not satisfactory, Mulan's literary progress is very slow, according to Gao Gao Yuanjiaoxi's statement, if it continues to this extent, Mulan has no hope of passing the county examination in the second half of the year and taking the Tongsheng literary degree.

A few days ago, he had a wine and banquet with the Han Festival, and he praised Mulan for her poetic talent, and she could try to improve her score in the county exam by learning poetry and get a child's degree. For this reason, Zhao Tuiguan was hearted, a few days ago, Huang Liang sang a water-tune song, which shocked the four seats, attracting the praise of almost all Yanzhou scribes, and this opportunity must be seized.

Huang Liang didn't expect Zhao Tuiguan to think so much, he had already told Zhao Tuiguan that he could teach Mulan poetry, but it couldn't guarantee that he would be a child, and Zhao Tuiguan also approved it, so what else was there to worry about.

Mulan blinked her big black eyes, looking at her father and Huang Liang strangely, she didn't understand why her father respected Huang Liang so much, but she understood one thing, she had another gentleman.

Zhao Tuiguan was about to speak, when the chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded on the street, and Luo Zhutou's thick voice sounded outside the door.

"Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao, Lord Tuiguan, there is an urgent military situation. “

Zhao Tuiguan turned around and strode out, and said in a calm voice: "Luo Zhutou, this official is here, what happened? ”

Luo Zhutou stood at the door awkwardly, panting, and several small catchers quickly followed behind Luo Zhutou, with the same nervous face. When the surrounding neighbors heard the sound, they also gathered around, wanting to see the excitement.

Huang Liang walked to the door, opened the wooden fence gate, invited Luo Zhutou and a few catchers to come in, and then drank away to see the lively neighborhood. Looking at Luo Zhutou's appearance, it seems that this military situation is quite serious, the herald behind him is stained with blood, and the official document in his hand is stained with blood, it seems that the official document sent from the battlefield is bloody, and the neighbors can't hear the rumors, otherwise it will spread out, and Yanzhou City will be in chaos first.
