After school, Tang Ning went to Zhou Huai's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Shi grinning and holding a big stone that was bigger than himself.

"Come on, little stone." Tang Ning said with a smile when he passed by, and walked straight to the main hall.

As a disciple of Zhou Huai, the Zhou family naturally knew about the existence of such a person. And Zhou Huai and his wife specially ordered, so when Tang Ning came, it was no different from going back to his own home.

Except that the servants here will respectfully call him Tang Gongzi, and the maids will sweetly call Tang Young Master.

This point is naturally incomparable to her own family, Aunt Niu regards Tang Ning as a junior, and Tang Ning also regards Aunt Niu as an elder. Wang Po is more autistic and doesn't like to talk, but Liu Yier always likes to ignore and say that the young master is back and it's over.

When I entered the main hall, I saw Zhou Huai teaching Li Zi to read, and when he saw Tang Ning, Li Zi ran over with his hands outstretched.

Tang Ning picked up the plum for a while, put it on the ground again, and arched his hand at Zhou Huai: "Master." ”

Zhou Huai smiled and said, "You kid came to eat today?" ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's that the disciple encountered something in the academy today." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Huai raised his eyebrows and motioned for Tang Ning to sit on the chair next to him: "You can still encounter things in the academy?" Didn't you make Mr. Takeliu a mess? ”

As soon as Tang Ning sat down, Li Zi jumped up and sat on his lap. Zhou Huai frowned when he saw this, there is a difference between men and women, Li Zi is already twelve years old, she is a big girl, and in another three or five years, she will be at the age of marriage.

Tang Ning is so used to plums, it's not a good phenomenon, maybe something will happen in the future.

However, Tang Ning didn't care very much, holding the plum that had never seen his head, and told him about today's events in the academy. Then Xiaoshi saw Tang Ning running out of the main hall in a panic, chasing Zhou Huai who was carrying a wooden stick.

"If you don't learn anything, forget it, and steal other people's things. Not only that, but I am also proud of myself, seeing that the old man will not beat you to death today! ”

"No, Master, isn't it just a limerick poem? Why are you and Mr. Takeyanagi so angry? ”

Although it is a limerick poem that cannot be elegant, it is also the crystallization of other people's wisdom. If you want to make it yourself, can you do it?

The old man doesn't care whether you study or not, the academy is a place to educate people, and the sound of Lang Lang can dissolve the anger in your heart.

But if you plagiarize the poetry and knowledge made by your ancestors, and occupy the magpie's nest, the old man will not tolerate it. This is a corruption of character, and it is the old man who failed to educate you well.

Come over and let the old man beat you with thirty sticks, otherwise it won't be as simple as thirty sticks if the old man catches you. ”

Tang Ning looked at the wooden stick with the thickness of an adult's arm in Zhou Huai's hand and shook his head firmly.

Zhou Huai rolled his eyes and almost fainted, he had never seen such an apprentice, could it be difficult for him to beat him to death?

"Small battles are suffered, big battles are gone. The disciple and the master did not learn anything else, but this point was kept in mind. ”

"You just remember something you don't need!" Zhou Huai roared and then threw the stick aside, sighed and walked back with his hands behind his back.

The small stone held the big stone and made a rattling sound, Lao Wu frowned when he heard it, picked up a stone the size of his head from the ground and put it on it, and the little stone immediately stopped laughing.

Tang Ning's thick-skinned skin was very unattainable, and he made Zhou Huai angry like this, and followed Zhou Huai into the main hall. sat next to Zhou Huai and took a sip of tea, looking like he was fine.

Zhou Huai was happy, he pointed at Tang Ning and said, "I see that your thick-skinned person is about to catch up with the city wall, Senior Brother Xu probably planned to train you to be an official from the beginning."

If Ouyang Xiu had a thick skin like you, he wouldn't have to be infamous for something he hadn't done. ”

If there are too many lies, it will come true, at least Tang Ning now feels that his Master Xu is real.

Hearing Zhou Huai say this, he grinned and said, "However, the disciple is not willing to become an official." ”

"When the time comes, it's up to you."

After that, he stayed at Zhou Huai's house for dinner, and then returned home with plums and small stones.

As soon as it was dark, Tang Ning went out and walked straight towards the Shen Mansion. Liu Yi'er stood at the door and watched for a while, and when she saw Tang Ning enter Mengxi Garden, she shook her head and went back to the house.

She still hasn't figured out what the fortune has to do with the Shen family, and now she hasn't sent a penny of silver to her family.

After Shen San welcomed Tang Ning into the Shen family, the two of them acted against the wall like thieves. I don't know how long I walked, but I saw several masked men in black with knives pinned to their waists.

Tang Ning was startled, and arched his hand: "A few brothers on that road?" The owner of this house is not a thing, and I have been dissatisfied with him for a long time, brother.

Don't hurt me, there are debtors and owners, I'm just a passerby. ”

The man in black at the head took off his mask, and Tang Ning looked at it, and it was Shen Kuo. At this time, looking at Tang Ning's eyes, how resentful and resentful he was, Tang Ning didn't care, and said with a smile: "How is it, Lao Shen, what I said just now seems to be the truth, right?" ”

Shen Kuo naturally knew that Tang Ning was thick-skinned, and it was impossible to make this kid admit that he had just said that. So he didn't take it seriously in these places, but stretched his clothes and said, "How about it, is this body okay?" ”

"Yes, no problem. But are your servants ready? And let me look at your knife, don't take a real knife, it's not good if you accidentally hurt someone. As he spoke, Tang Ning pulled out the knife on Shen Kuo's waist and put it in front of him to take a look.

For some reason, there was a faint smell of sugar. Tang Ning reached out and broke the tip of the knife in confusion, but this time he broke the tip of the knife directly.

"The quality of this is too bad, it's none of my business, don't lie to me." Downing thrust the knife back.

Shen Kuo sneered, snatched the tip of the knife in Tang Ning's hand and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it and said, "It's time to wake up after almost a stick of incense, Shen San, you take him to the side compartment, and the old man will transport the lady over in a while." ”

Shen Boyi was one of the three black-clothed people, and after listening to Shen Kuo's words, he was still a little worried: "Dad, isn't it good for us to do this." What if my aunt does it really and is scared? ”

Shen Qingzhi said on the side: "Isn't it just that you have to be scared?" Brother Tang has said that this disease is not too scared to be cured.

Besides, big brother, don't you think this kind of thing is interesting? ”

Shen Boyi scratched his head and said, "I'm just worried that something will happen." ”

Shen Kuo sighed, stretched out his hand and said, "Alas, since it has been decided, we have to go down this road." Mrs. has been ill for many years, and the family is also plagued by this disease, and if she is not cured, the family will not be at peace for a day.

Look at your father's beard, which has been plucked out by your mother. Bo Yi also suffered deeply, my eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter were not allowed to enter the door, and my second daughter-in-law was often scolded for no reason.

Countless methods have been used but there is no effect, and this time, it can only be used as a dead horse doctor. ”

Tang Ning tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Old Shen, I can listen." ”

Shen Kuo turned a deaf ear and continued: "It's come to this, don't worry too much, just follow the plan and let it go, children!" ”

After speaking, Shen Boyi and Shen Qingzhi both responded, and the three of them were enthusiastic and rushed to the backyard together.

Soon a person was left behind, Shen Kuo held his waist with one hand, used a knife as a crutch in the other, and gasped: "You can't run, you can't run...... Old, old, old......"

Tang Ning was taken by Shen San to the side compartment, the room was very simple, a wooden bed, a Buddha statue with gold lacquer, a futon, and some tribute fruits on it, an incense burner, burning three incense sticks.

Tang Ning pointed to the Buddha statue and said curiously: "This thing was made according to my request?" ”

Shen San nodded and said, "Childe will know when he goes up." ”

With that, he lifted Tang Ning to the offering table.

The statue sits cross-legged, but it is also more than two meters tall. Tang Ning went around to the back and saw that there were several protruding parts behind the Buddha statue, like steps, so he stepped on the steps and climbed the back of the Buddha statue.

Then he took off the head of the Buddha statue and got through the hole in his neck.

Shen San tiptoed to help put the head of the Buddha statue in place, and Tang Ning said: "Your family is really rich, you can make such things." ”

The voice inside the Buddha statue is a little muffled, but it sounds quite majestic.

Shen San said with a smile: "In order to treat his wife, the master has sold a lot of things.

Childe, can this method be successful? ”

"This, I don't dare to guarantee it, it depends on how religious your wife is."
