Ren Pingsheng's words are indeed somewhat decisive. From a personal perspective, in order to ensure that there is no obstacle to his future career, he should separate his relationship with Lu Qingci early, lest the latter really demand his own life to repay him for a little kindness. Selfishly, Lu Qingci was indeed kind to him, but it was only for the sake of his talent and learning. In Ren Pingsheng's view, Lu Qingci was a person who could make the best use of him, and people could benefit from him. If he relied on him to enter the academy, he would be in trouble afterwards. He must make all kinds of demands on himself and show off his grand plans. He must let go of unnecessary affection as much as possible. If Lu Qingci really asks him for something in the future, he can respond in a measured and appropriate manner.
Zhang Ling, who was sitting in the front driving the car, did not look at him, but seemed to have foreseen the red letters written by the scholar in the car. However, he was still rational, and I was sure that he would not repay kindness with hatred, or write something that would harm the living beings. , otherwise even with Zhang Ling's unwillingness to meddle in other people's business, he would be killed early.
When they arrived at the gate of Yu Mansion, they saw the old man playing with a big sword in the courtyard. Although his sword skills were not excellent, they were all honed on the battlefield. They were real killing skills. The old man was completely immersed in the process of sword training, or maybe it was Missing the past, it wasn't until Zhang Ling called him that he walked out in a somewhat old and shameful manner, and said with a smile: "As people get older, they can no longer wield a knife. Zhang Ling, don't laugh at me!"
At this time, Ren Pingsheng also got out of the car. The old man looked at him and asked, "Who is this?"
Zhang Ling smiled and said: "My friend, Ren Pingsheng, is going to take the imperial examination this year, and he came to see Captain Yu to recommend him. Senior Hou, you take Pingsheng to see Captain Yu, and I'll park the carriage."
The old man put away his sword and waved to Ren Pingsheng with a smile. The two of them walked into the Yu Mansion one after another. When they turned a corner, they could only hear vague voices. Zhang Ling unloaded the carriage and drove the strong horses into the room. In the stable of the horse, Zhang Ling grabbed a handful of grass seeds and fed them. Zhang Ling returned to the guest room. He hurried to Mingyue Tower before. He had just broken through and had not had time to straighten out his energy. The most important thing for every breakthrough is to lay the foundation. , when Zhang Ling came out of the room and was about to go find Ping Sheng, he saw two familiar figures in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Ling looked at the woman in red walking towards him slowly and said with a smile: "Ms. Mingyue has come in person to collect debts. Just say something and I will ask Song Linjie to send it to you. If it's a penny less, you can just kill him." .”
The woman in red smiled lightly and said: "No matter where I am in Jinyu City, I can come whenever I want. There is no place I can't go."
Zhang Ling threw the key to Song Linjie and said, "Go get it yourself."
The three of them walked separately, two went to the warehouse to get money, and the other walked towards Yu Chang's study.
In addition to a water pavilion by the pond in Yu Mansion, only Yu Chang's study occupies a slightly larger area. A leisure pavilion was built outside. At this time, a young man, a middle-aged man and an old man were sitting on the carved carvings. In front of the finely carved stone table, the old man's face was full of smiles. It was not that he had a cheerful personality, but that he was always happy for the young people he was optimistic about when he saw them succeed.
When Zhang Ling arrived, the two of them had already finished their discussion. Judging from their expressions and news, it was obvious that they had reached an agreement. Yu Chang thought that the imperial court was doing things for the sake of the world. However, as a warrior, he could defend the country, but he wanted to live happily for the world. He has to rely on those scholars. Whether it is to support talented juniors or to become the pillars of a country, he is happy to see success.
Zhang Ling bowed to the two elders. Yu Chang asked him to sit down and smiled sincerely: "Zhang Ling, you brought this to me, no, you brought a piece of beautiful jade to the imperial court. I also studied it just now." , I will send him a letter of recommendation when he gets back."
Ren Pingsheng and Zhang Ling thanked each other at the same time. The old man added a cup and poured tea for Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling took a sip and asked: "Senior, you are treating me as a cash cow. You only get 20 taels of Sophora japonica from Yuezhi Shop for one penny. Do you all dare to buy it?”
The old man didn't take it seriously and snorted: "Why are you so stingy? You don't lack this little money."
After the four people discussed it, they knew that it was time to say goodbye. The two elders had come from the battlefield, and they had long been indifferent to the farewell of relatives and friends. However, the old man said that no matter whether someone came home in the past, or tomorrow When a battle is about to begin, they will secretly drink two bowls of wax wine behind the corps leader's back. Sometimes they are caught, and the worst thing they can do is eat a meal. Some people who have a good relationship with the people below will drink a few sips and get beaten together afterwards. , Yu Chang decided to hold a banquet.
Zhang Ling and Ren Pingsheng walked out from Yu Chang's side. When passing by a corridor, they saw Mingyue carrying Yu Wanqing to the roof. Zhang Ling asked Ren Pingsheng to go do it by himself, jumped up to the roof and said, "Miss Mingyue, I've taken the money too. , why are you still here?"
Mingyue looked disdainful: "What does it have to do with you?"
Yu Wanqing sat carefully on the eaves and explained: "I happened to see Song Linjie and Miss Mingyue in the warehouse, so I asked her to stay and talk to me. I just didn't expect that a woman as stunning as Miss Mingyue can also do martial arts."
At the dawn of majesty, two women were picked up by their green hair. This scene was unparalleled. Zhang Ling sat down two feet away from them, smiled at the bright moon and said: "Qin Yi had no one around him before, so he didn't know how lonely he was. He just took advantage of it." Come in, Miss Mingyue, don’t you want to go take a look?”
Mingyue flicked her red sleeves, and a red ribbon was drawn out by the sharp blade. Zhang Ling turned over and dodged, getting further away from the two of them. Mingyue chuckled and said: "You don't have to worry about my affairs. If you want me to leave, unless I want to." .”
Yu Wanqing, who was obviously at a loss for words, pulled the corner of the woman in red's clothes and asked her to put her down.
Mingyue looked at her leaving Qianying and said calmly: "She likes you. What do you think?"
Zhang Ling looked indifferent and said: "Where is the pure love between men and women? Don't you treat Qin Yi the same way? And you also know my current situation. If I am not careful, I estimate that my life will be involved. How can I Do you want to talk about love casually?"
Mingyue took a careful look at him and moved the corners of her mouth slightly: "You are sick!"
Zhang Ling said dissatisfied: "Is there anyone who chats like this?"
The woman in red stood up and said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with liking that person. It's just that you haven't met such a person yet. Maybe it's just like what you said just now, you are attracted by talent and beauty, but so what, love won't last forever." Think about the causes and not the consequences.”
She floated to the ground, like a young girl walking away in love.
At the dinner, it was actually just a few people gathered together, drinking and chatting. Among them, Yu Chang also hinted at Zhang Ling with lotus seed soup, but Zhang Ling just deliberately dropped a peanut and poked it open with a chopstick.
The words are self-evident, they naturally parted ways, it was just a chance encounter that didn't matter.
The woman sitting next to her father remained silent and put down her black silk hand.
