Finest Servant

"Wow, hahaha-" He laughed three times, sorted out his thoughts, and just listening to this sentence, he knew who the chick on the opposite side was. I can meet outside the broken temple, I don't know if it's luck or a bit of a back. He laughed a few times before saying: "This lady, we don't know each other, it's not suitable to say such words, I can't open my mouth, you should find someone who is destined to talk about it. There is still an urgent matter at hand, it is inconvenient. Stay for a long time, say goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and wiped away his cold sweat, and hurriedly walked out, not willing to stay for a second longer.

Then Miss Xu sighed: "It's the same as saying it or not. I didn't want to do some boring things, but I didn't expect that the person who talked to me so frivolously was actually someone from the Jinling Xiao family, which really disappointed me. ."

Khan, this time I have smeared the Xiao family, this is really fucking evil. He stopped, turned to look at Miss Xu, and giggled: "Do you really want to say it? Well then - catch up with you, and then dump you, this is my goal!"

Young Master Ye's face changed, and he shouted: "Bold, you are so rude, you dare to blaspheme Miss Xu like this, it's damned."

Lin Wanrong spread her hands and said innocently, "You heard me, this young man. It's not what I wanted to say. It was Miss Xu who asked me to repeat it. I just did it. What's wrong?"

The young master surnamed Ye couldn't make a sound, and Miss Xu smiled slightly: "It's a bit quick-witted! It's not too bad to get home! Excuse me, the third son, is Miss Xiao's family in Beijing now? Mrs. Meng Xiao took care of me when I was young. I heard my father mentioned the name of the eldest young miss, but I have never had the chance to meet her. If she is in Beijing, I would really like to meet her." She named the third son, and she admitted that she said yesterday that she was hiding in the Reclining Buddha Temple. The woman of the rain is her.

For this reason, Lin Wanrong, who is barefoot, is not afraid of wearing shoes, and nodded: "Thank you, Miss Xu, for your concern. The two young ladies in my family have already arrived in Beijing, and I will definitely pass on Miss Xu's wishes. But I don't know if Miss Xu Lingzun is—"

"My father is just an ordinary scholar, I don't want to mention it." Miss Xu said indifferently: "Speaking of which, when Mrs. Xiao left the capital, I was still a child who was ignorant of world affairs. , I wonder if her old man is okay?"

old man? Such a young and beautiful Mrs. Xiao actually became an old man in the mouth of Miss Xu. She really deserved a fight. Lin Wanrong glanced at Miss Xu.

He only paid attention to Miss Xu's face before, but now he will pay attention to her dress.

Seeing that she was wearing a light blue dress that was very decent, with a graceful figure and a calm face, the bun on her head was already high, and she was casually tied up with a hosta, which was simple and generous.

Is this Miss Xu already married? Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, remembering that she was asked outside the temple yesterday if she was married, but she didn't say anything. Today, when she saw the bun, she was even more puzzled. However, this woman was so generous, and listening to what she said, it seemed that two decades had passed, and it was not surprising that they were married.

The only thing that is puzzling is that this Young Master Ye is surrounded by a married woman all day, isn't he afraid of gossip? Judging from what Miss Xu said yesterday, she still values ​​her reputation very much. "Catch up with you, then dump you", remembering the rhetoric he said yesterday, Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly, it's not good to be a teacher!

"Mrs. is as beautiful as before, and she lived a very happy life. Miss Xie cared." Lin Wanrong suppressed the doubts in her heart and replied.

Miss Xu nodded and took a few steps forward with Young Master Ye. As if she suddenly remembered something, she turned her head and asked, "This Third Young Master, you are a member of the Xiao family. When you were enjoying the lanterns on the 15th day of the first lunar month, in the cloud Could it be you who came to Wonderland to watch the lanterns and guess the riddle?"

"Guessing the lanterns? Oh, what do you think of him? His surname is Lin. He is handsome and talented. He is ten times more handsome than this Young Master Ye!" Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

Miss Xu smiled and said: "My few lantern riddles were simple, I originally thought that I would let everyone in the academy guess it, and I was able to calm their complaints, but I didn't expect that the Xiao family's family took the lead, which is a bit surprising. already."

Simple? Are you mad at me on purpose, little girl? What is the origin of this girl surnamed Xu, who holds an improved serial crossbow, is familiar with Luo Ning, and knows Mrs. Xiao, what does she do?

Young Master Ye said with a smile: "I was there when you wrote those riddles, and I was still wondering why the riddles for Miss this year were so simple, but I didn't expect that it was to take care of the brothers and sisters in the academy. Miss is very thoughtful. , Ye Mou can't admit it to himself."

Speechless! These two are working together to attack me. Miss Xu continued to move forward, and when she passed by Lin Wanrong, she suddenly said lightly: "Third Young Master, it is good to be confident, but don't be too frivolous, like yesterday's words and deeds, the little girl hopes that you will never hear it again!" She walked briskly and floated past him.

Lin Wanrong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked with a smile, "Miss Xu, are you married?"

As if Miss Xu didn't hear him, she had already walked into the door, and Young Master Ye suddenly turned her head and said, "You shouldn't ask, so don't ask."

Lin Wanrong laughed a few times, facing Miss Xu's back, and said loudly: "Miss Xu, what I said yesterday is still valid."

Miss Xu stopped for a while, shook her head helplessly, and sighed: "There is nothing in the world, and no one bothers you!"

She didn't care about the madness of the third son, and was about to enter the classroom, but saw a 16-year-old boy rushing out of it and said: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, it's not good, it's a natural vision!"

"Mr. Cheng, what's the matter? What is the natural phenomenon?" Miss Xu asked in surprise.

"Mr. Xu, look -" Cheng Dawei led Miss Xu and Young Master Ye to the courtyard, and saw countless ants crowded together, forming a big "天" on the ground. Although these ants are constantly crawling, they all move along the route of the sky. Cheng Dawei rolled his eyes and said, "The ants form a group, a natural phenomenon! Mr. Xu, how should this be explained?"

After Cheng Dawei, all the students who were studying the skills rushed out, looking at the situation where the ants gathered in front of them, tsk tsk amazed.

Lin Wanrong was about to leave, but when he heard the shouts in the yard, he couldn't help but turn back, carefully observing the route of the ants crawling, and then looking at the ghostly kid named Cheng Dawei, Lin Wanrong couldn't help laughing, this kid , there is a set!

Young Master Ye looked at the situation in front of him, frowned and said, "How can these ants automatically swarm, is it really a strange sign?"

Miss Xu shook her head and said, "There is no rootless water in the world, and everything has a law. There must be a special reason for this ant colony to gather together. It is better to investigate it carefully rather than calling it a strange sign."

Miss Xu stretched out her long skirt, squatted down slowly, and carefully observed the ants' progress, with a focused and beautiful expression on her face.

Lin Wanrong was secretly amazed when she heard it. It was amazing for a weak woman to have such knowledge and ability.

Miss Xu observed it, and then stretched out her green slender jade fingers, wrapped a piece of jade handkerchief, and stroked the ground a few times. A few ants climbed up her handkerchief, her body trembled slightly, and her face also showed a bit of tension. The woman is naturally afraid of rat ants, and it's no wonder her, she bit her silver teeth, and a touch of red appeared on her face. She carefully avoided the ants and continued to wipe the ground with a handkerchief.

After wiping it a few times, a surprise suddenly appeared on her face, she put away the handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Today, which classmate brought honey over here?"

A student said, "I saw that Mr. Cheng brought honey, but I don't know what to do."

Miss Xu smiled and said to Dawei Cheng, "Bring me the honey."

Cheng Dawei smiled embarrassedly, took out a small sealed jar, and Miss Xu wrapped a wooden stick with the handkerchief just now, dipped it in some honey, and then wrote the word "天" on the ground! Strange to say, for a moment, Miss Xu's newly written word was black and white, and the strange omens reappeared.

Everyone was surprised, Miss Xu nodded and smiled: "Mr. Cheng, this must be a good thing you did, right?"

Cheng Dawei lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Mr. Xu, you said it, let us observe the surrounding things carefully, and if we have new discoveries, we will share them with everyone. Last time you taught the kind of seeds that germinate and overthrow Dashi. I have personally verified the example, and it turns out that it can really be done.”

Miss Xu smiled slightly and said, "I also heard the story of seed germination. In the city of Hangzhou, the White Lotus Sect used this trick to deceive the common people, and was later exposed by a foreigner, so that the common people could be spared. All things have their own physics. As long as everyone observes a lot and ponders them carefully, they can always find out the rules. Just like this honey ant poly ant, if it is not for Cheng Dawei's careful observation, everyone will not be able to learn this. So Said that the principle of all things and the method of arithmetic are not useless learning, on the contrary, it is closely related to us, and like poetry and poetry, it is a treasure of my Dahua, and it is indispensable."

The students of academic mathematics are all really interested. After listening to Miss Xu's words, they immediately cheered. Lin Wanrong hid behind the crowd, looking at the excited red face of the second young lady in the crowd, and suddenly there was a faint feeling in her heart move. Appreciating lantern riddles that day, I have seen the talent of Miss Xu, and today I have seen her even more extraordinary side. If nothing else, just based on these words, this Miss Xu is worthy of the word "strange woman".

Miss Xu waited until everyone was quiet, and said with a smile, "Dawei Cheng's move today has allowed us to learn new knowledge, but it has also delayed the time to teach everyone, so I need to punish you a little. , don't you really like that abacus technique?"

Cheng Dawei nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, do you want me to learn this?"

Miss Xu smiled and said, "It's not just for you to learn, but also for you to sum up some simple and easy-to-remember formulas, which can be taught to everyone, so that you can learn well. If you are observant and open-minded, I believe you will be able to learn. did it."

This young man named Cheng Dawei flashed a hint of gratitude in his eyes, and said loudly: "Mr. Xu, thank you for believing in me."

Miss Xu smiled and nodded. Seeing that there was a young beautiful woman among the students, she suddenly said in surprise, "Are you the second young lady of the Xiao family?"

Yushuang said shyly, "Mr. Xu, I'm Xiao Yushuang."

Miss Xu took her hand happily and said, "Good sister, you are finally here, let's go in and talk."

The academic student entered the room happily, only that Cheng Dawei was still thinking hard. Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, what are you thinking?"

Cheng Dawei was startled, but when he looked up it was a stranger, and suddenly said strangely: "Who are you? Do I know you?"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "You don't know me, but you will definitely remember me. I have a few strange words that I don't understand. Can you explain it to me?"

Cheng Dawei was inexplicable, and he heard the stranger in front of him read: "Five to four, two to five to three... Eight refunds, one, five, three, nine refunds, one, five, four! How about it, remember? ?"

Cheng Dawei was stunned when he heard it at first, and then he understood something, and his voice trembled with surprise: "This, this is the abacus? No, no, nine to one, one to one, how can it be ten?"

Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "I don't know what this is. I'll read it again. Remember, go back and study it carefully. Maybe you can complete the task that Miss Xu explained!"

Cheng Dawei didn't dare to speak, and after listening to Lin Wanrong read it again, he didn't dare to let go of a word. Lin Wanrong smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Cheng, do it well, you will have a good future."

Seeing that Cheng Dawei was still in a daze and reciting formulas, Lin Wanrong didn't care about him, wiped his sweat and walked out of the yard. Memorizing this abacus formula table was a thing in elementary school, and now I have forgotten a few sentences, but with Cheng Dawei's cleverness, it is not difficult to deduce a few sentences.

Anyway, today said that he had done a good deed, and he was happy in his heart, humming a little song and walked outside the gate of Jinghua College, when he saw two people walking across from a distance, they actually knew each other.

The two of them were stunned when they saw him. One of them rushed forward like a whirlwind and said with joy, "General Lin, General Lin, you are here."

Lin Wanrong was greatly surprised, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xu Zhen, why are you here? Oh, young master Li Wuling, we have met again." It turned out that the one who walked with Xu Zhen turned out to be the fifteenth person in the first lunar month. That night in the city, the child named Li Wuling was fishing for lanterns by the river.

Li Wuling asked curiously: "Lin San, why are you here? Did someone bully you, and you came here to find me? Why, didn't you tell me Li Wuling's name?"

Lin Wanrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Xu Zhen said excitedly: "General Lin, not only me, but also Li Sheng, Brother Du, and Brother Hu are all here. It was Shuai Xu who recommended us to come here to study."

study? Immediately remembering that there is a military theory department in Jinghua College, Xu Wei sent these people to study, and it seems that he values ​​them a lot. These are all soldiers led by Lao Tzu. A burst of pride rose in his heart. He looked up and down at Xu Zhen with a smile and said, "Yes, yes, your kid has grown taller and stronger. You went to the battlefield to kill Hulu this year. It seems that you are indispensable."

Xu Zhen raised his chest and said, "That's natural. I, Xu Zhen, will die on the battlefield. General Lin, Brother Hu, we look forward to your coming every day. After more than a month, we will kill the Hu people. With you Leading, all of us will have the backbone, and we will be comfortable in this battle."

Damn, this kid will say something that moves me. Thinking of those years in the army, Lin Wanrong misses it immensely. Fighting the white lotus is an internal struggle. No matter how well the battle is fought, there is nothing to be proud of. It is the duty of a soldier to kill Hu talents. But really want to go to the battlefield to fight the Hulu, is this what I, Lin San, did? Besides, Qingxuan is here! There was a moment of conflict in his heart.

Xu Zhen didn't know his mood, so he pulled Li Wuling and said, "Wuling, this is the general Lin I told you, who led my right army to be invincible in the campaign to destroy the White Lotus Sect."

After hearing Xu Zhen's introduction, Li Wuling looked at him up and down, and said in disbelief, "You are Lin San, and the general Lin who has made extraordinary achievements? "

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "It's not like, is it? In fact, this is my true nature. I have always been very low-key."

Li Wuling clapped his hands and said, "Very good, very good, you are a victorious general, everyone praises you, I'm going to compete with you today, and see if I'm better or you are better! Go, go—"

Others are big devils, and if they hold Lin Wanrong, they will move forward. Lin Wanrong was so shocked that he was in a cold sweat. Why is this kid always looking for someone else to compete? Last time he said he was looking for his grandfather, but this time he is looking for me? Compete with this child, if you win, if you say that the big bully is bullying the small, if you lose, you will definitely be relegated to the level that even a child can't beat him.

Lin Wanrong glanced at Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen smiled wryly and shook his head, obviously there was nothing he could do about Li Wuling. Lin Wanrong said helplessly: "Li Xiaogong, this, I'm not good at martial arts with fists and legs, you should go to your grandfather."

Li Wuling glared at him and said, "Whoever wants to embroider your legs with you, what I want is a real sword and a real gun, even if I am hurt by your sword, I have no complaints—bah, what is hurt under your sword, it's the other way around. You were hurt by my knife, so don't complain."

Which family's child is this Li Wuling, and why does he like fighting so much? He said to Xu Zhen, "Which son is this?"

Xu Zhen's face was serious: "This little brother Li Wuling is the only grandson of General Li Tai at the time."

"Li Tai? Who is Li Tai?" Lin Wanrong said softly.

As soon as this statement came out, not only did Xu Zhen's eyes widen, but even Li Wuling, who had been pestering him, stopped making trouble. The two looked at him together with disbelief on their faces.

Xu Zhen swallowed his saliva and said, "General Lin, no way, you haven't heard of General Li Tai's reputation?"

Lin Wanrong smiled awkwardly and said: "I grew up in a remote area, and I have never heard of it. Is this old general Li Tai very famous? Well, just hearing this name is extraordinary enough. Of course, the name of Li Wuling's young master is also very famous. Not bad, as expected, Lord Tiger has no dog and grandson!"

Li Wuling clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's great, great, finally there is someone who doesn't know Grandpa's name. Lest he bully me in the future and say, I, Li Tai, have been loyal and good for several generations, guarding the border, with a great reputation, who is in the world? I don't know, you can't even clean up your little things?"

Xu Zhen didn't know what to say for a long time, not even the first general of the Dahua Dynasty, how did General Lin get into the army, and how did he win the battle? Incredible.

Unable to bear the embarrassment of his top and idol, Xu Zhengan smiled and said: "General Lin doesn't know anything. This old General Li Tai has been in the army for generations since his ancestors, guarding the borders of thousands of miles. Twenty years ago, General Li Tai He personally led 50,000 elite soldiers, attacked the Hu people's tents over long distances, and beheaded the enemy commander. He was famous for his reputation, and the Hu people were afraid to hear it. General Li was highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in the art of war. He was the number one general of my Dahua. People can be enemies. Not only that, the Li family has been loyal for generations, defending the country with iron blood, and the eldest son of General Li—"

Having said that, Xu Zhen gave Li Wuling a sneak peek and continued: "The eldest son is the grand marshal of the border garrison. On the day when his wife was about to give birth, he fought fiercely with the Hu people for seven days and seven nights, and died heroically, leaving only the orphans and widowed mothers!"

Li Wuling gritted his teeth, tears flashed in his eyes, and he waved his fist and said: "What do you say? You will die if you die, and if you go into battle to kill the enemy, there is no one who will not sacrifice. He is dead, and me! I am dead, but also I have my son. My Li family can’t be beaten or killed, and if the Hu people are gone, my Li family won’t fall!”

Lin Wanrong understood, this is Li Wuling, no wonder this kid is so competitive, he patted Li Wuling on the shoulder, but couldn't say a word.

Xu Zhen continued: "The second son of the old general, as a general on the frontier, was also ambushed by the Hu people eight years ago and died of arrows! Pity that he has been on the frontier for many years, but he has never even seen the face of his fiancée— —" Having said this, Xu Zhen was already a little choked up: "General Li's family, the guardian of the country, the guardian of the country, loyal and good from generation to generation, and his good name spread all over the world, he is the idol of my Dahua sergeant."

Lin Wanrong nodded heavily, what else could he say, this is the God of War! With such a backbone, Dahua can not be bullied by foreigners, and can stand upright!

He was also a little ashamed, such a loyal minister and good general, he didn't even know him, he was really ignorant. Seeing Li Wuling's expression of grief and indignation, his little fist was about to be crushed, Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Li Wuling, aren't you going to compete with me in horse kung fu, so what are you waiting for?"

Li Wuling looked up at him in surprise: "Lin San—General Lin, is what you said true?"

Lin Wanrong nodded and laughed loudly: "How can there be jokes in the army? Li Wuling, for the sake of the loyalty of the Li family, no matter who you face, you can't lose, understand?"

"Understood! General Lin, I want to defeat you!" Li Wuling roared, threw himself in front of Lin Wanrong, and punched him in the chest...
