Xiao Jinrong pushed the tea cup in front of her to Lin Ye, who leaned over and thanked her.
"I have heard that the general is young and promising, and I know you are young. Only when I met you this time did I realize how young you are."
He only said he was young but not promising. It seemed that this old gentleman really didn't like General Lin very much.
Lin Ye didn't care. After all, he came here to ask for advice. Since he was asking for advice, he should act like he was asking for advice.
"The old dean is really old. I heard that he was old before I met him. Only when I met him did I realize how old he is."
This young man has such a good attitude.
Xiao Jinrong's face was indeed more difficult to look at, but he was not going to fall out.
"Of course I know I'm old, otherwise I wouldn't have come back to my hometown from Geling. Even though I'm old, I still have some strength. I grow some vegetables at home. If a child with a yellow mouth comes to steal it, I'll take it. Bones can still drive him away."
Lin Ye said: "It's okay to steal vegetables, but I'm afraid some people will deliberately harm you instead of stealing them and eat them. They won't take any of them away and the whole garden will be stripped bare for you. That would be disgusting."
Xiao Jinrong frowned.
"General, what do you think of my dish?"
"I think it's very good. It has strong roots and green leaves, and it looks fresh and fresh, so it's the most memorable."
Speaking of this, Lin Ye looked at the top of Xiao Jinrong's head and stared at it for a while, which made Xiao Jinrong hate him even more. How could a young man be so rude.
Aren't you just bald?
Lin Ye said: "The old dean just spoke to me, so there's no need to be subtle. I'm young and have low knowledge, and I'm reckless and rude. I always like to speak directly, and I'm not good at gossiping."
He smiled and said, "Master Dean, do you think I'm here to steal vegetables or to cause harm to your garden?"
Xiao Jinrong said: "Then it depends on the general himself."
Lin Ye smiled, stood up and said, "Farewell."
These words made Xiao Jinrong slightly stunned. Lin Ye came inexplicably, said something inexplicably, and then suddenly left.
Although he was not familiar with Lin Ye, in recent years, there were several young people in Dayu who could overshadow Lin Ye's limelight.
So even though she was not familiar with Lin Ye's name, Xiao Jinrong's ears almost got calluses when she heard it.
The first time he met Lin Ye, he was really unhappy. He felt that this young man had the character of being a villain everywhere.
Just when he felt that Lin Ye should be driven away, Lin Ye wanted to leave.
"General, since I just said that I prefer to speak more straightforwardly, I might as well explain my purpose before leaving."
Xiao Jinrong stood up after Lin Ye.
Lin Ye said: "I have no intention of coming. Seeing that the vegetables in the garden have not been picked up, it shows that the dean knows how to protect his own things. Even if a child with a yellow mouth comes to steal the vegetable seedlings, the old man can still stand up and drive him away..."
When Lin Ye said this, he turned around and looked at Xiao Jinrong and asked, "What about the reputation of the dean? It's almost gone."
He pointed at the top of Xiao Jinrong's head even more rudely: "When the dean is worried, he plucks his own hair so hard. Have you never thought about not letting others destroy your garden?"
Xiao Jinrong said angrily: "The reason why I have so little hair is because I have worked hard for the country, and..."
It stopped abruptly.
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Send off guests."
Lin Ye clasped his fists and leaned over: "Thank you for the hospitality, Mr. Dean. Before I leave, I want to say a few words. If those people who came just now are really asking for advice with an open mind, they will definitely come tomorrow. If not, I am afraid they will not come tomorrow. ”
Xiao Jinrong said: "The general will not come tomorrow. No one can harm the vegetables in my garden."
Lin Ye nodded with a smile, turned around and left.
Back at the entrance of the village, Captain Pang Haiyang stepped forward and asked: "General, how are you doing? Is the old man in high spirits?"
Lin Ye kicked over.
Pang Panghai chuckled: "It is said that this old gentleman is the tallest person in Dayu. He has taught nearly a hundred people in the martial arts academy for decades and has become famous. Looking at Dayu for two hundred years, no one can match him."
Lin Ye said: "If you shoot flattery where people can't hear it, it means you didn't shoot it."
Pang Dahai: "What I mean is that such a naughty old man has poor self-cultivation."
Lin Ye: "How do you know that the old man is not well-behaved?"
Pang Panghai: "With good self-cultivation, you cannot drive out the general."
Lin Ye kicked him again.
Pang Panghai asked: "The general didn't even have a cup of tea from the time he entered to the time he came out. I guess the old man didn't listen to what the general said and felt that the general was not a good person."
Lin Ye said: "That's half wrong."
Pang Dahai: "Which half?"
Lin Ye said: "He listened to my words, and he listened very deeply."
Pang Panghai nodded, and then said: "Didn't my subordinate guess half of it right just now..."
Not a good person.
Lin Ye asked: "Where did those people who came out of the village just go?"
Pang Panghai pointed: "To the north, I see that the attire is from Dongbo. He must have been rejected and returned to Dongbo."
Lin Ye said: "If it is the Dongbo people, they will come tomorrow. The Dongbo people are not afraid of being rejected now. As long as it can make Dongbo stronger, they can do it even if they are closed."
Pang Panghai thought for a while and felt disgusted.
Xiang behind closed doors?
Do you have to pay for it yourself?
Lin Ye continued: "If they don't come tomorrow... there may be some problems."
Pang Panghai's eyes lit up: "Since there may be problems, we just gave the general's order and we took all the people."
Lin Ye said: "No need."
After saying this, he thought for a while, vaguely feeling that he might not have thought through something thoroughly enough.
But there is really nothing to think about in depth. Who would have thought that Emperor Loufan would come to Dayu.
You can pull Lin Ye's ears for this kind of thing. . . . . . No, even if you pull the emperor's ears and say it, the emperor won't believe it.
Even though Lin Ye and Tianzi are the two people in the world who are the best at guessing people's hearts.
"Let's go."
Lin Ye pulled Zhaoye Qilin and looked at the horse. The horse seemed a little uncomfortable. Although it was a good horse, no one could ride it with such enthusiasm when it was in the hands of the emperor.
At this time, the young man who was not very polite to Lin Ye ran out and bowed to Lin Ye: "General, please stay. My master said that the general has come from afar to work hard, so let me The general has left, which is not the way my master treats guests, so I would like to invite the general to have a meal before leaving, and I hope the general will not refuse."
Lin Ye asked: "The dean only has some vegetables at home. I like to eat meat, so I won't go back. I appreciate his kindness."
After saying that, he got on his horse.
The young man had no choice but to run back to ask for instructions. When he came back, he saw that Lin Ye and the others had already walked away, leaving only a puff of smoke.
The young man named Jinyu went back with an annoyed look on his face, and kept scolding Lin Ye for being such a rude guy.
In the past few decades, our dean has taught many generals and officials. Even though you, Lin Ye, are in the limelight now, how dare you act so presumptuously in front of our dean.
After returning, Xiao Jinrong guessed that Lin Ye had left when she saw him pouting.
"Young people... are indeed different from the older ones like us. The older ones pay attention to personal feelings and sophistication. Even if they are not here to beg you, they will regard seniority and status as important and always ask for guests. You’re welcome.”
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, looking very worried.
Goldfish said: "If you ask me, the dean should not pay attention to him. He left as soon as he left, and even went to invite him twice. It's really a good face to stick to the cold butt."
Xiao Jinrong said: "Your qualifications are suitable for accompanying me back to grow vegetables."
The goldfish was even more upset.
Xiao Jinrong ordered: "Go and pack my clothes, and then go and tell the local officials to borrow a carriage and three or five followers to escort me. I want to go back to Geling."
The goldfish were shocked.
It has been four years. The dean has not had any dealings with local officials in the four years since he came back. They have come countless times, but the dean has not given him a cent of face.
He suddenly said that he wanted to go back to Geling, which was even more outrageous.
Jinyu still remembers what the dean said, that he will probably never return to Geling in this life.
He also said at the time that maybe the dean couldn't bear the coldness of the house and missed the prosperity of Geling. Maybe he would go back one day when he got excited.
The dean said that there is no prosperity in Geling City. The prosperity is all an illusion of water and fire, deep water and hot water.
"Go ahead, what are you waiting for?"
Xiao Jinrong said: "I have already made it clear when I came here. My two precious disciples have now become a serious threat to the imperial court. The new king wants to take action, but he does not want to waste money, food and materials, let alone lose too many lives."
Goldfish then suddenly realized: "What the dean means is that the new king wants to ask the dean to go back and make suggestions?"
"please?"
Xiao Jinrong said: "Just treat it as an invitation... If Liu Tingsheng and Guo Geming really turn against each other, do you think I can continue to grow vegetables like this?"
The goldfish's expression changed greatly.
"But...but the dean has been retired for four years. Even if those two people do something outrageous, they have nothing to do with the dean."
"Stop kidding yourself."
Xiao Jinrong said: "Liu Tingsheng and Guo Geming both came to see me before taking office, and I gave them two countermeasures respectively. Now that the two of them have become big, can it be said that it has nothing to do with my ideas?"
The goldfish said: "Then...will it be...dangerous after we go back?"
Xiao Jinrong said: "The danger is not in Geling City. The new king must be seen as lenient and generous."
He didn't continue because the goldfish couldn't understand. He spoke more clearly, which frightened the goldfish.
If the new king really doesn't want to be judged by fighting, then the best way is to let the respected old dean personally go and persuade the two proud disciples.
If they can be persuaded, then the two of them might be able to have a happy death, resign from their official positions, hand over their real power, and find a place to grow vegetables, which would be great.
If persuasion doesn't work, just start killing again.
But at that time, Xiao Jinrong also contributed to the judgment, so he could still return to this small village.
No effort. . . . . .
The garden is bald for you.
Originally, Xiao Jinrong planned to leave the next morning, but she changed her mind for some reason and asked Jinyu to pick up the carriage quickly. The family packed their things, but Xiao Jinrong did not intend to take them with her. She only took Jinyu with her to serve as a personal servant. That’s it.
After borrowing the carriage, Xiao Jinrong set off with simple luggage.
By leaving, he happened to avoid a bloody disaster.
After walking for about two hours, they arrived at a place to rest. When Xiao Jinrong got off the car, he saw Lin Ye's people setting up a big pot and cooking something on the roadside, smelling the aroma from a distance.
Xiao Jinrong straightened her clothes and walked towards Lin Ye's team.
Lin Ye looked back and looked at the pot again, thinking that the dean's speed was indeed unexpected.
If you could predict it, what would you do if you stole a pig from the pig pen outside the courtyard wall? . . . . .
Xiao Jinrong stepped forward, smiled and said: "It seems that today's dinner will disturb the general."
Lin Ye said quickly: "Where is it? Thank you, Mr. Dean, for your hospitality."
Xiao Jinrong said: "The general already thanked me for the hospitality when he went to my home. Now, it's my turn to thank the general for the hospitality."
Lin Ye said: "No, I haven't left this county yet, and the dean is treating me!"
Seeing Lin Ye being so polite, Xiao Jinrong thought to herself that she had indeed maintained her identity before, and Lin Ye didn't look that annoying.
Lin Ye looked at Xiao Jinrong's face and responded in his heart. . . . . . I'm very pleased that you think so.
