An hour has passed, and today's class is over. The students in the piano house stood up and saluted Mr., and Su Lianrong bowed her head and returned the salute. Then the students began to disperse one after another, and Su Lianrong walked at the end as usual, packing up her musical instruments and books. Today, for some reason, Wen Li didn't come outside the window to listen, so soon only Su Lianrong and Pei Yu were left in the piano house.

Pei Yu took a few steps forward, his attitude was much more casual, and said, "Everyone Su, I went to visit Mr. Li yesterday. ”

Su Lianrong glanced up at him, "Which Mr. Li?"

Pei Yu said: "Of course it's Mr. Qingping." ”

Su Lianrong remained silent, "Then have you seen Miss Qin?"

"Unfortunately, no. Pei Yu sighed, "When I went, I only saw Mr. Li alone. ”

Su Lianrong lowered her head again and said coldly: "I don't have a deep friendship with Mr. Li, it's just a one-sided relationship, I heard that Hoshino Lake and the stargazing platform were destroyed, and that Mr. Li also contributed a lot." ”

Pei Yu heard the cold and alienated meaning in Su Lianrong's words, and sighed again, "The people in the Dao Sect are really domineering. ”

Su Lianrong asked indifferently, "Master Pei, is there anything else?"

"No more. Pei Yu turned and left.

Leaving the piano house, Pei Yu returned to his residence, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that an old man was sitting behind his bookcase, reading the "Taiping Guangji" given to him by Li Xuandu. Pei Yu's heart tightened, and he didn't rush to speak, just stood in place, looking at this person silently.

He always felt as if he had seen the old man somewhere, but he couldn't remember. However, Pei Yu could be sure that he had never seen this person in the Vientiane Academy, and that was somewhere else, either the imperial capital or Qizhou.

The old man sitting behind the bookcase waved his hand, signaling Pei Yu not to be nervous, and said, "Pei Gongzi, please take a seat." ”

Pei Yu hesitated, took a few steps forward, and sat silently on the chair opposite the old man, with a bookcase between the two. Pei Yu's expression was quite calm, but his mind turned a few times, and he guessed in his heart who this person was.

The old man saw what he was thinking at a glance, and said in a calm tone, "You can call me Mr. Bailu, one of the seven hermits of Confucianism. ”

Pei Yu was really shocked, and immediately stood up, saluted respectfully, and said, "The kid has seen Mr. Bailu." ”

Mr. Bailu accepted the salute calmly and asked, "Do you know me?"

Pei Yu had already prepared, when he went to see Wen Ren before, he took the opportunity to ask Wen Ren in reply, after all, there are still many things for Pei Yu to do in the future, in a sense, Pei Yu is also a relatively important figure in Confucianism, so Wen Ren slightly mentioned to Pei Yu about the seven hermits of Confucianism.

Pei Yu pretended to hesitate and said, "Wen Da Sacrificial Wine once mentioned the hermits to me. ”

"Wen Ren. Mr. Bailu seemed to have expected it, laughed, and couldn't hear the joy and anger, and then he looked at Pei Yu again, and said slowly: "No need to be polite, please take a seat." ”

Pei Yu had already put aside other thoughts in his mind at this moment, and only regarded himself as an ordinary Confucian disciple, and his mood was naturally not as calm as when he came in, and after sitting down, his face showed excitement, apprehension, nervousness, etc., and asked, "I don't know if Mr. is here, what advice do you have?"

Mr. Bailu looked at him and did not answer directly, but asked, "How is Mr. Pei doing?"

"Mr. knows the ancestor?" Pei Yu was stunned, "There is Mr. Lao."

Care, my grandfather is doing well recently, he is in good health, and he is studying and visiting friends on weekdays, which is a little better than when he was an official. ”

"That's fine. Mr. Bailu is still very peaceful: "I remember that Mr. Pei Lao has a disciple named Zhou Tingchao, when Tianbao was six years old, he was convicted of words and died at the hands of Qingluanwei. Zhou Tingchao also has an orphan girl named Zhou Shuning, who was taken in by the Xuannu Sect. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Pei Yu's surprise this time was sincere, "Grandfather and his old man have never mentioned this matter to me, and I didn't know that there was such a relationship between the two families. ”

Mr. Bailu said: "The reason why Ling Zu was dismissed from office is also related to Zhou Tingchao's book. ”

Pei Yu let out an "ah", "I see." ”

Mr. Bailu smiled, "Seriously, your two families are still world friends, and that girl from the Zhou family wants to call you world brother." ”

Pei Yu suddenly became a little vigilant, Li Xuandu has a close relationship with Zhou Shuning, Li Xuan is Pei Yu's benefactor, these two things are not a secret, at this time, this Confucian hermit suddenly mentioned his relationship with Zhou Shuning, what is his intention?

Mr. Bailu saw that his eyes were empty, and then said: "I can't hide it, I am also from Qizhou, and I also have an old friendship with Lingzu, I heard that the son of the Pei family came to study in Vientiane Academy, so I want to come and see you." ”

Pei Yu didn't know what to say for a while.

Mr. Bailu still said unhurriedly: "I heard that you haven't married a wife yet? It just so happens that the girl of the Zhou family is not married, you are of the same age, and you are world friends, if you don't mind, the old man can be this matchmaker." ”

Pei Yu was shocked and said, "I—I've never seen that Miss Zhou...... And ......"

"And what?" Mr. Bailu's gaze looked at Pei Yu, as if he wanted to see through what he was thinking.

Pei Yu was about to tell Zhou Shuning and Shen Changsheng just now, but at the last moment, he suddenly remembered that this matter was something he didn't know in the eyes of others. After all, he is a disciple of Confucianism, and he has no obvious relationship with the Jianghu sect, so it is impossible to know too much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Before that, Li Feiyan saw him in an extremely hidden situation.

Fortunately, Pei Yu was also a little anxious, and immediately said: "I heard that the disciples of the Xuannu Sect cannot marry. ”

This is common sense, just like a monk in Jing Zen Buddhism can't marry a wife, enough light to grow up.

When Mr. Bailu heard this answer, he smiled faintly, "It turns out that you are worried about this, in fact, the rules of the Xuannu Sect are not absolute, it's just that women who leave the pavilion can't inherit the position of the sect master, and not all women can't get married." ”

Pei Yu showed a hesitant expression, "After all, it still ruins other people's future." ”

Mr. Bailu showed an elder's smile, "Anyway, it's better to see each other." I heard that this Zhou girl will be coming to Longmen Mansion soon. ”

"Just see you like this?" Pei Yu was embarrassed, "Men and women are very defensive, and the Xuannu Sect is all women, and I am a man who rashly came to visit, but I am afraid that it will be inappropriate." ”

Mr. Bailu said: "I heard that Mr. Qingping has a life-saving grace for you. ”

Pei Yu glanced at Mr. Bailu in amazement, and said worriedly: "Yes, this matter is known to the big sacrificial wines." ”

"Don't be nervous. Mr. Bailu was still like an elder, and his tone was gentle, "I'm not blaming you for anything, Qingluanwei went against the grain and chased Ling Zu and your sisters and brothers, it was really a bad rule, they died in the hands of Li Xuandu, and there is nothing to say." Actually, let's talk about it

Come, this Mr. Qingping also has a great relationship with our Confucianism, Zhang Suqing is his teacher, he has saved Zhou Tingchao, saved Lingzu, and he also has a relationship with Sikong Da Sacrificial Wine and Ning Da Sacrificial Wine. It's just a pity ......"

Speaking of this, Mr. Bailu sighed, and seemed to be extremely sorry, "It's a pity that he finally embarked on another path, if Zhang Suqing is still here, I'm afraid it will be a different scene, at least he won't marry the Qin family." Forget it, I won't say these words, in short, I have no ill will towards that Mr. Qingping, and you don't shy away from anything, you can use the excuse of visiting him to meet that Miss Zhou. ”

Pei Yu quickly thought about it in his mind, judging what Mr. Bailu's intentions were, he could be entrusted with important tasks by Li Feiyan and Li Xuan, and naturally he had outstanding features, especially in terms of improvisation, which Shen Changsheng and Zhou Shuning did not have. Of course, he didn't believe that Mr. Bailu had no malicious intentions, he was more inclined to this was a temptation, both to test Pei Yu and Li Xuandu, a strategy to kill two birds with one stone.

Pei Yu hesitated: "Do you want to tell the Great Sacrifice Wine about this?"

Mr. Bailu's expression suddenly turned cold, "Is this necessary?"

Pei Yu lowered his head as a gesture of difficulty.

At this moment, only one voice was heard, "Of course this is necessary!" and then I saw the Great Sacrifice Wine Wen Ren striding in.

Pei Yu hurriedly saluted Wen Ren respectfully.

Wen Ren glanced at him and showed an appreciative look, "Pei Yu, you are very good, you know the truth of respecting teachers, and you know that when you encounter this kind of thing, you have to ask your teacher for advice, instead of listening to the instigation of others." ”

Pei Yu glanced at Mr. Bailu cautiously, bowed his head and made a respectful gesture, "The big sacrificial wine has been awarded, and the kid is ashamed." ”

Wen Ren, as the three major sacrificial wines of the Vientiane School Palace, it is not difficult to find the traces of the hermit in the School Palace, and it just so happened that he also came to Pei Yu for something, and just happened to bump into Mr. Bailu. He already harbored a lot of dissatisfaction with the hermits, and the hermitists' proposal of the Jade Void Sword Fighting without consultation made several of the great priests angry. Pei Yu has been regarded by Wen Ren as his own person, and Mr. Bailu bypassing Wen Ren to see Pei Yu is undoubtedly another transgression, which makes Wen Ren not angry, but Pei Yu's answer is to make Wen Ren invisibly recognize him and trust him more.

The appearance of Wen Ren also disrupted Mr. Bailu's deployment, because of the inertial thinking of Confucian infighting for many years, his thoughts had a small deviation, he no longer doubted the relationship between Pei Yu and Li Xuandu, but subconsciously classified Pei Yu into the faction of the Great Sacrifice Wine, the same enemy, one is an external enemy, the other is an internal enemy, there are still some differences.

Mr. Bailu stood up gently, "Wen Da Sacrificial Wine, I just care about the juniors, not some instigation, please pay attention to your words." ”

Wen Ren sneered: "Pei Yu's marriage is decided by his elders, and it is not the turn of outsiders to make irresponsible remarks. ”

Mr. Bailu looked at Pei Yu, "I have no ill intentions. ”

With that, he walked straight out.

Because Pei Yu was present, Wen Ren didn't entangle with Mr. Bailu too much, and after Mr. Bailu left, Wen Ren said to Pei Yu: "Pei Yu." ”

Pei Yu hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Wen Ren said: "You find an opportunity to visit Li Xuandu again, tell him what happened today, and see how he reacts." ”

Pei Yu knew that this was provoking the hermit faction and the Great Sacrifice Wine faction, which had already achieved initial results, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was respectful, "Yes." ”
