Song Mu looked downstairs and saw only one or two officials walking out of the city gate, and behind them, a figure in red robes appeared.
He was a stout man with a big head, a stocky body and dark skin. He was holding a book in his hand and recording something.
However, just after passing the city gate, the other party suddenly stopped, then suddenly raised his head and looked towards Song Mu.
Only then did Song Mu see the other person's face clearly. His facial features were straight and somewhat honest, but his piercing eyes showed his extraordinary level.
But at this time, the other party had already shown a somewhat surprised smile. He quickly put away the things in his hands, said a few words to the two officials next to him, then lifted up his official robe and ran towards the teahouse.
Song Mu and Dai Mingde also stood up quickly. At this moment, they could only hear the clanging sound on the stairs, and the next moment they heard a somewhat surprising voice outside the private room.
"Lan Xian, when did you come to Lin'an?"
As he said this, he saw a red figure pushing open the door of the private room and walking towards him with a smile on his face. But the shape really surprised both Song Mu and Dai Mingde.
Shen Tiancai was only seen at this moment. He had an official robe pinned to his waist and the white underpants underneath were exposed. In his hands, he was still holding two muddy boots.
With this image, if it weren't for the bright red clothes proving that he was an official, he would look like a farmer who had just returned from the wild.
Song Mu and Dai Mingde were both a little stunned at this moment, while Shen Tiancai apologized twice to the waiter who had just caught up behind him to help carry things, handed the boots to him, and hurriedly immersed himself in the hot water basin handed by the waiter. After washing his hands, he put down his robe and solemnly raised his hands towards Tao Fengming.
"Brother Lan Xian, we haven't seen you for a long time. How are you now?"
Tao Feng had already stood up early in the morning, with a smile on his face. He stepped forward directly, held his hands in front of each other, and said in a deep voice.
"Thanks to Brother Changyun's good fortune, he is still in good health now. But Brother Changyun, on the other hand, is living a rather simple life now."
Shen Tiancai laughed immediately, but he was also led to the table by Song Mu and Dai Mingde. Shen Tiancai glanced at Song Mu and Dai Mingde, and then spoke.
"I heard from He Shilin that you have now taken on a disciple, but..."
Song Mu hurriedly stepped forward and introduced him. Shen Tiancai also looked at Song Mu. He nodded involuntarily and said a few words of praise.
"However, he is indeed a heroic boy. He is already in such a state at his age."
As Shen Tiancai said this, Dai Mingde, who was next to him, also hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, but was about to leave. Although several people tried to persuade him, the other party still insisted on leaving.
Shen Tiancai smiled and said a few words to the other party and encouraged him, and then Song Mu escorted Dai Mingde out of the private room.
After returning, Song Mu was pulled to one side by Shen Tiancai. He was a bit flattered. After all, the amiable man in front of him was a powerful Hanlin scholar.
However, the situation on the court was a bit unexpected. Shen Tiancai seemed to be very familiar with Tao Fengming. When they met, it seemed as if they were talking to each other for a while.
"Farewell to Chang'an. I thought I would never see you again in this life, especially after hearing what happened next to you."
After drinking half a cup of tea, Shen Tiancai's expression changed slightly at this moment, and he said with some emotion, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.
"Lan Xian, let me tell you, you are the best now. It is a good thing to travel around here and have an apprentice to take care of you."
Saying this, Shen Tiancai immediately looked at Song Mu sitting next to him.
Song Mu had just replenished tea for the two of them, and when he met Shen Tiancai's eyes, he immediately grinned.
Shen Tiancai's eyes flickered when he looked at Song Mu, and then he said with a smile.
"Jing Zhao, you are now a Jie Yuan. I heard that you are quite knowledgeable now? What do you think? Are you sure about the next exam?"
When Shen Tiancai asked like this, Song Mu could only hand over his hand.
"Most of my talents are limited, but I obey the teacher's arrangements in everything. As long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely work hard."
After hearing this, Shen Tiancai smiled and shook his head. He looked up at Tao Fengming next to him and said with a smile.
"As an apprentice, you have a very different personality from your master."
Song Mu was dumbfounded and glanced at Tao Fengming. Shen Tiancai smiled cheerfully and said with a smile.
"I think back then, your master was the best. Although he was only second in the list, he was still standing on the top of the mountain. I stood below and looked at it. This guy's nostrils were so high!"
When Shen Tiancai talked about this, he seemed to be a little nostalgic. At this moment, he picked up the tea cup, touched it with Tao Fengming, and drank it in one gulp, before continuing with Song Mu.
"I think this humility is your nature, but having said that, now you have promoted people, and you have improved people's hearts. The so-called humility, but you always have three points in your heart. This is inappropriate, inappropriate."
When Shen Tiancai said this, the expression on his face became a little more determined, but Song Mu was stunned when he heard this.
A Hanlin teacher taught him this way, and his words made quite a lot of sense.
Tao Fengming next to him sighed slightly at this moment, but looked at Song Mu and said.
"It's not a good thing to be sharp. Everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force it."
Shen Tiancai just shrugged, but his eyes turned a bit, and then he said with a smile.
"Although you say that, most people in the world today know Song Mu, and even I, a student from Lin'an, respect him a lot."
As Shen Tiancai said this, he immediately mentioned Dai Mingde just now.
But in the end, it was mostly to encourage Song Mu. Seeing the two people hesitating to speak, Song Mu got up and left with an excuse.
When Song Mu left the private room, the smile on Shen Tiancai's face suddenly disappeared. At this moment, he looked at Tao Fengming again and asked with concern on his face.
"What happened to you at that time? Why do I feel that the aura in your body is so chaotic now?"
Tao Fengming looked at the concerned look on his old friend's face and lowered his eyes slightly. He just took a sip of tea and explained slowly.
After listening to Tao Fengming's explanation, the expression on Shen Tiancai's face was even more sad. He even hit the table with his hand. He was not at all as kind as before.
"It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this."
"Lan Xian, I heard that His Majesty wants to re-enable you, but it's just a matter of bowing his head. Your illness may still be cured."
"I know how my body is, and I have good luck. Don't try to persuade me about this matter."
Tao Fengming shook his head firmly at this moment, staring at the other party with lonely eyes.
"The rift between His Majesty and I is nothing at all. There is not much I can do in my life. It's just that the things at home make me indignant. The monster is still arrogant, which makes it difficult for me to feel at ease."
After hearing this, Shen Tiancai looked at Tao Fengming with a puzzled expression on his face, but he heard Tao Fengming speak slowly.
"Now, I put everything on Jing Zhao."
"He is different from me. This son is not only benevolent and loyal, but also has the world in mind. This time, I am telling you something."
Shen Tiancai looked stunned when he saw Tao Fengming standing up, but then he saw Tao Fengming bowing respectfully and said in a deep voice.
"If Jing Zhao is in trouble someday, please ask Brother Chang Yun to help."
