The next morning, it was three o'clock in the morning. Pan Xiaoxian stretched himself and finally woke up.
This sleep was very comfortable, the most comfortable sleep he had ever had.
"Uncle is awake."
Pan Xiaoxian just walked downstairs and saw Master Li, who was busy in the kitchen with a short bun on his bun, and a childhood fantasy came up again.
I was still very young at that time, watching Li Shishi marry his eldest brother, and imagining that it would be great if Li Shishi could marry him.
My thoughts at the time were very simple. I just thought Master Li was so beautiful, like a fairy.
Pan Xiaoxian had another childhood fantasy today. The fantasy was the same, but the thoughts were different.
People grow up.
Many ideas will be different from those when I was a child.
Master Li shook off the water stains on his jade hands, brushed his hair, and took out the brush and salt: "The things for brushing your teeth are ready. After uncle brushes his teeth, the meal will be ready."
Pan Xiaoxian looked at the brushes prepared by his sister-in-law and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that my sister-in-law would still remember my habits when I was a child."
When Pan Xiaoxian was a child, he disliked the willow branches being too hard, so he bought a brush to brush his teeth.
Master Li smiled softly and said, "You have a sweet mouth. Go and brush your teeth quickly. After you brush your teeth, come over and eat."
Pan Xiaoxian walked out of the door with a brush dipped in salt and a bowl of water, squatting at the door to brush his teeth.
There were many people coming and going at the door. They were not surprised when they saw a man appear at the door of Master Li's house. They all greeted Pan Xiaoxian enthusiastically.
After the introduction last night, the neighbors in the alley and even people in several nearby alleys knew that Li Shishi's brother-in-law was here.
A young official of the ninth rank who serves as an official in the Imperial College.
The women in several alleys were all thinking. I have never seen so many women passing by the door of Master Li's house. There were many women passing by today.
There is only one purpose.
Find a way to take Pan Xiaoxian to his home and introduce his daughter or the daughter of a relative to him.
After being reminded by Liu Rushi, Pan Xiaoxian knew that the more official he was in front of the people, the more people would rush to fawn over him.
If you are approachable, you will be looked down upon by the common people.
Pan Xiaoxian met women who greeted each other enthusiastically, and just nodded without any other response.
Pan Xiaoxian put on the airs of an official, and the smile on the woman's face became even more enthusiastic. She wished she could carry him home directly.
After Pan Xiaoxian had eaten, he was just about to go out when some officials came to visit.
These officials were all county government officials in the Jiming Temple area. They heard that a ninth-grade assistant teacher from Jinling Imperial College had come back to visit Master Li, so they came here with the intention of building a relationship.
They are both officials, and there is a big difference between Beijing officials and local officials.
The Imperial College where Pan Xiaoxian was working was the Imperial College in Jinling, not the Imperial College in the northern capital. For county government officials, it was also a Imperial College.
The capital is also the capital.
What's more, as the largest gold-selling cave in the world, Jinling is more valued by the Queen Mother than the capital.
Most of the tax revenue from the national treasury depends on Jinling.
Pan Xiaoxian didn't understand official communication at first, but he had seen the world at Liu Rushi's house last time. Even if he didn't understand it, he could still learn from it.
Liu Rushi's guests at the banquet were all the top rich men and young men in Jinling. The content of these people's conversations and a few casual words were enough to scare the county government officials into confusion.
The county government officials just chatted for a few words, were respectful, and secretly happy that this trip was the right one.
"Assistant Pan, don't worry. Master Li is a chaste and martyr woman commended by the imperial court. The county cares more about Master Li's safety than you do."
"The county has already increased police patrols nearby. After all, Master Li is now the face of the county."
"Whenever there is any problem with Mr. Li, everyone from the county magistrate to the police below will inevitably be questioned by the court."
Pan Xiaoxian was relieved. His sister-in-law Li Shishi was so beautiful that any man who had seen Li Shishi would be seduced.
No one can guarantee whether any man will take the risk and break into Master Li's home secretly.
Pan Xiaoxian learned about the safety situation nearby through county officials, and was completely relieved that he no longer had to worry about Li Shishi's safety.
I don't know what happened, but Master Li was guarded too tightly, and Pan Xiaoxian was still a little disappointed.
Pan Xiaoxian declined the invitation from the county government officials to have lunch together, saying that he still had official duties to attend to and would wait until evening.
Pan Xiaoxian left the busy city at the foot of the mountain and went to Jiming Temple, where he found the female students who were going to visit Jiming Temple.
Female students are not the daughters of ordinary families. They obey everything their parents say. Each one is more independent than the other and has her own ideas.
The female students refused to take a few nuns to take them to see the scenery. They did not follow a fixed route and walked in. Sometimes they went east and sometimes west, with no certainty.
No one could persuade them, so they were left alone.
Liu Rushi said: "The Go competition in the Imperial College is about to begin. We must find a way to win first place this time and let the Queen Mother see our educational achievements."
At the mention of the Queen Mother, Pan Xiaoxian's mood instantly became tense, and he paid extremely close attention to every word Liu Rushi said.
Zhang Fengyi was worried: "Women are not as good as men in Go, not to mention that the students at the Imperial College are all the elites among the elites. Unless we invite the most talented woman in Jinling to teach us the secrets, there is some hope, otherwise we will only be embarrassed in the Go competition." "
The most talented woman in Jinling?
Pan Xiaoxian was looking forward to it. He had heard of the name of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling for a long time, but he had never seen her. He even knew very little about her identity.
All I know is that the most talented girl in Jinling is the only female minor country player. Even the daughters trained by the most famous scholarly families in the capital are not as good as her in Go.
As the admirer of Jinling's countless rich ladies, Liu Rushi also expressed admiration when he mentioned the most talented woman in Jinling.
Liu Rushi's eyes were bright: "Back then, the most talented woman in Jinling killed all the junior national warriors in the two Imperial Colleges in the north and south. She gave us women great prestige."
Zhang Fengyi also had light in her eyes: "The contemporary chess master even said that Jinling's most talented woman is likely to become the first female national player. If she does become a female national player, she will make history."
Pan Xiaoxian said hurriedly: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite this female junior national player here so that the Queen Mother can see our results."
The light in Liu Rushi's eyes dimmed and he sighed: "It's easy to say, but too difficult to do. The most talented woman in Jinling is not someone who likes to be in the limelight. If she really becomes a female national player, she will definitely be pushed to the forefront, even It’s a natural target for men to attack.”
Zhang Fengyi said coldly: "If I could invite him, I would have invited him long ago because of Liu Rushi's reputation, and I would have waited until now."
Pan Xiaoxian was speechless. That's nonsense. If you don't want to be invited, stop talking.
Especially Zhang Fengyi's attitude. She has one attitude towards Liu Rushi and another towards him. She is really a two-faced person.
Pan Xiaoxian also knew in his heart that Zhang Fengyi was not targeting him. She was born to hate men and was targeting all men.
Pan Xiaoxian hoped to make some achievements in the Go Conference: "How about we give it a try? If we try, maybe we can invite her. If we don't try, we will definitely not be able to invite this most talented girl in Jinling."
