Mu Bai was full of confidence at the beginning, but at the end he frowned and looked solemn.
Xie Nanning looked at the battle situation on the scene and looked at Jiang Buwan with admiration. She really found the wrong person. This person not only has the art of river management, but also is very good at military tactics. If she can help him, great things can be accomplished.
Thinking of this, Xie Nanning looked at Jiang Buwan with a somewhat eager look. If possible, he could not wait to bring the person to Beijing right now.
Mu Bai let out a long sigh, put down the chess piece in his hand, and said, "I lost."
Although Mu Bai seems to be carefree and like a playboy, this guy is actually the type to admit defeat, and he will always stick to the people and things he believes in, and he will not move away from his money.
The most loyal thing.
Jiang Buwan: "Then I am your master now."
Mu Bai raised his neck and said, "I always tell the truth and I won't rely on you."
After he finished speaking, he stood up from his seat and bowed to Jiang Buwan, "Master is here, please bow to me as a disciple."
Jiang Buwan helped Mubai up, and then looked at Xie Nanning with a smile. Xie Nanning immediately reacted and bowed to Jiang Buwan as a disciple.
After she finished doing this, she asked them to find a place to live nearby. If there was no place to live, they could live in Hongmeng Academy first.
When Hongmeng Academy was still Lao Zhang's teahouse, Lao Zhang's family lived here. When she later renovated it, she also left several rooms for people to live in.
After Cui Jing's lesson last time, she no longer dares to let others live in their own home.
Unexpectedly, Xie Nanning asked, "But Senior Brother Yang let us stay in his room."
"What?"
"Senior Brother Yang said that he will leave soon and asked us to stay in their room then. The wing of his room will be just for tonight. Now our luggage is probably brought back to Mr.'s house from the inn."
Jiang Buwan:. . . If she hadn't known that this boy wanted to find another apprentice to help them cook, she would have suspected that Yang Ce knew something and deliberately found someone to watch her and Xiang Zhihan.
She forced a smile and said, "I see, then you can stay in Yang Ce's room from now on."
She didn't care, but it was pity that Xiang Zhihan had to sleep on the soft bed again.
After the scholars in Qingshui Town learned that Jiang Buwan had accepted two disciples, they all came forward to ask Jiang Buwan to accept them without giving up.
But Jiang Buwan never met these people. Later, for some reason, there were far fewer scholars coming to see him, and they would even take a detour when they saw her, as if they were threatened by someone.
Jiang Buwan thought about it and didn't care about it.
Anyway, the scholars were not injured, and she no longer had to be harassed by the scholars. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
Yang Ce left quietly at night. He did not say goodbye to everyone. He only left a letter with only one short sentence. When the river is safe in the future, he will raise a glass to the bright moon.
Qingruo looked at the words on the letter and said sadly, "Brother Yang, why didn't you even say goodbye?"
During these days, the relationship between Xiao Qingruo and Yang Ce was very good. Although they were so different in age, they were able to play together.
"He probably doesn't want to see the scene of separation."
In fact, it was not without warning. The night before he left, he cooked a big meal and drank wine.
She realized at that time that Yang Ce might be leaving.
It's just that this guy has been holding back and not saying anything.
Qingruo kept her head down and said nothing. Jiang Buwan thought Qingruo was sad and was thinking about how to comfort her. However, Qingruo raised her head and asked, "Brother Yang is not here, what should we do for dinner today?"
Jiang Buwan:. . . Good guy, it turned out that I was thinking about something to eat.
Jiang Buwan scratched his head. Although Yang Ce said that Qingruo could cook now, he still felt that it was too sinful to let a child cook.
Forget it, let’s go to Lai Fu Lou to eat in the future.
At least, his elbow tastes pretty good.
At this time, Xie Nanning and Mu Bai came side by side, Jiang Buwan's eyes lit up, yes, these are not two young apprentices who were picked up for free.
"Hi, Mu Bai, Nanning, you two come over here."
"Master, what's the matter?"
"Can you cook?" Jiang Buwan asked expectantly.
The two of them were stunned. You looked at me, and I looked at you.
Xie Nanning has been a noble person since he was a child. How can he go to the kitchen and cook? She didn't even look at it.
Mu Bai scratched his head and said, "I know a little bit."
He has been marching and fighting with his father and brother since he was a child. He often has to eat and sleep in the open and find food by himself, so he still knows how to cook a little bit. .
Before he finished speaking, his good master, Jiang Buwan, patted him on the shoulder, "Great, then I'll leave the cooking to you."
He responded vaguely, but he realized that Jiang Buwan was already far away.
But he can only cook barbecue.
In the evening, Mu Bai brought out a golden roast chicken from the kitchen. The outside of the roast chicken was sizzling with oil, and it looked delicious.
"Wow, Mu Bai, your skills are great." Jiang Buwan was the first to praise, "What's wrong with this? You are obviously a great chef."
Mu Bai scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "There's still room in the kitchen."
As he spoke, roast rabbit, roast duck, roast fish, and roast potatoes were brought out from the kitchen one after another.
Jiang Buwan didn't notice anything was wrong at this time, but kept praising him.
Xiang Zhihan didn't need to eat at all. He only took a few bites of greasy food like this and then stopped talking after making a show of it.
Jiang Buwan was not greedy when eating, so she didn't eat too much. If we talk about this meal, who had the happiest meal, Qingruo and Mubai himself.
Jiang Buwan fell into silence after eating grilled food for three consecutive days.
Even Qing Ruoye, who ate the most on the first day, couldn't eat anymore.
She asked: "Mubai, do you like barbecue?"
Mu Bai smiled brightly and replied, "That's not true, I only know how to cook barbecue."
Jiang Buwan took a bite of the crispy grilled pork ribs and said silently, "Let's go to Lai Fu Lou to eat tomorrow."
Although Mu Bai initially worshiped Jiang Buwan as his teacher, he did not initially think about learning anything from Jiang Buwan. In his eyes, Jiang Buwan was just a weak scholar and could teach him nothing.
Jiang Buwan did not force him at first. Instead, he would tell some short stories about the melee between various countries in class. Among them were many famous generals and counselors. They competed with each other and fought with each other. Mu Bai was fascinated by the stories.
She couldn't help but want to know if those powerful generals were real, as well as those strategists with uncanny calculations.
Jiang Buwan didn't hide anything from him. When he asked, he told him carefully. Unfortunately, Jiang Buwan only told him for an hour every day, and the hour was over. No matter how much he asked, Jiang Buwan would always tell him. He also refused to say anything.
He was so anxious that he scratched his head, scratched his heart and lungs. He later learned many strategies from the story, and finally understood that Jiang Buwan's victory over him in the competition was not an accident.
