Chapter 81 081: Junior Brother【Ask for a monthly ticket】
"My lord, this little friend is..."
The sheriff forced an ugly smile.
Although today is different from the past, seeing the former seat lord still couldn't help trembling, dry mouth, flustered and short of breath.
The honored guest known as the "seat master" followed the sheriff's line of sight to look at A Yan, his eyes glide a bit warm, his rough and chapped palm caressed the top of his head, and said warmly: "His nickname is 'A Yan'. "
Hearing the teacher calling him, Ah Yan pulled his attention away from the sandwich pastry, blinked, and looked at the teacher blankly, as if asking why he was calling him. The old man smiled and pointed in the direction of the sheriff, and replied, "I'm not calling you, but you, senior brother, are curious."
A Yan tilted her head, looked at the sheriff, then at the old man, and finally at the sandwich pastry on the plate, frowning lightly.
The old man has lived with Ah Yan for two years, and he has somewhat understood his way of thinking, and said: "Your senior brother doesn't like these desserts, and your teacher doesn't like them either, so these are all yours, so you don't need to divide them."
The sheriff secretly twitched his lips when he heard the address.
Calling the old man "the seat master" is just because he was thinking about his past friendship. He didn't expect this old thing to climb up the pole, and even got him a cheap junior. Speaking of "junior brother", he vaguely felt that this child named "A Yan" was not very smart.
At least, not as clever as ordinary children.
The sheriff showed a proper expression of concern.
"Master, is he here, Junior Brother?"
He pointed to his brain, mentally impaired?
"A Yan is very good!"
Talking about A Yan, the old man's demeanor changed suddenly, and the vicissitudes of his brows could even vaguely see the fierce and aggressive people back then, which made the county guard feel like he was sitting on pins and needles. At the same time, he secretly spurned himself for not living up to expectations, the old guy in front of him is already in decline, what is there to be afraid of?
The so-called fierceness seems to be just his illusion. When the old man looked at Ah Yan, there was infinite pity in his eyes. With a long sigh, he stroked Ah Yan's hair bun: "He just suffered a lot. He has brain disease since he was born in the mother's womb, which makes his mind very different from ordinary children."
Sheriff: "???"
For a moment, he thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Who does the host say is born with a brain disease?
"Yes, this child is not..."
Who has a child with a brain disorder who can gather courage at the age of six and possess natural supernatural powers to cut off a grown man's leg with a long spear?
That unlucky Si Yan is still lying in the servant's courtyard.
The old man knew what he was going to say, and he said in a neutral manner: "Although Ah Yan has a brain disease, he is not stupid. He just has a mental problem. He can learn everything that should be learned, and there is no problem in understanding, plus he has a martial arts foundation. Excellent, it is not surprising to gather courage."
Even because of his mind, he is more focused and hardworking than normal people. As long as it is a cultivation task ordered by the old man, he will never complain or be lazy.
The old man doesn't like others to look at Ah Yan in a different light.
Especially those who had barely had a mentorship with him—for example, the sheriff. Because, this can only prove that his former normal student is not as good as A Yan with brain disease.
The sheriff twitched the corner of his mouth: "..."
He deliberated and picked flattering words, and said: "Is there a difference in mind? I can't tell. The younger brother's talent is the best in the world. However, the world is turbid now. If the younger brother can always maintain this pure heart It’s a blessing in disguise. It’s better than learning all the skills but becoming a power dog.”
The county guard boasted about Ah Yan, and bit the bullet to congratulate the head of his family on his successful apprenticeship. After a brief exchange of greetings, he quietly inquired about the old man's intentions for his visit.
But his little skill was not enough in the eyes of the old man, and seeing the old man's penetrating eyes, the sheriff was heartbroken.
Thinking back then, the old man was also an undeniable figure in the court, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him at that time as calling the wind and calling the rain. The leader of the Kingdom of Xin was able to secure his throne, and once made the Kingdom of Xin stand out among the Northwest countries, the leader also made great efforts.
Regrettably, he had a successful official career all his life, but at the end of the day, he had a disgraceful exit. He had an ugly quarrel with the Lord Xin, and it was ugly to see that all officials in his line were ordered to suppress.
Of course, the sheriff who had already emerged at that time was not included, because he hugged the right thigh and went all the way to the sky.
The old man was so angry that he resigned from office, and it is said that he has lived in seclusion in the countryside.
When the lord of the Kingdom of Xin was suppressed by Zheng Qiao's army, he also spent a lot of effort to find the whereabouts of the old man, but nothing was found until the Kingdom of Xin was destroyed. The sheriff thought he died in the turmoil, but he didn't expect this old guy to have a tough life, and suddenly came to the door today.
It was an eventful autumn, and the county guard was also beating drums in his heart—the owner and his young children were living in desperation, and he hoped that these two were here to fight the autumn wind, and he could use money to spend them. If there are other purposes, the sheriff will have a headache. After all, killing a teacher is not a good reputation.
After some side-talking—
His hanging heart slowly fell to the ground.
It turned out that the old man was hunted down by unknown forces and was desperate. He didn't care, but he couldn't hurt the innocent Ah Yan, so he prepared to find another way out and came all the way to Sibao County.
After listening to the sheriff, his heart became alive.
While listening, he laughed again and again.
The "unknown force" is probably not related to Zheng Qiao. Even if Zheng Qiao doesn't think of this enemy for the time being, Zheng Qiao's dog legs may not be there. , Yushi Zhongcheng, and the other is the outgoing seat lord, who can be called the king of Xin Guo's two mouthpieces.
Censor Zhongcheng scolded people, at least there was a layer of "businesslike" fig leaf, the seat owner directly bombarded Zheng Qiao and Xin Guoguo Shuan together indiscriminately. In front of the Lord Xin, he greeted Zheng Qiao with all kinds of vulgar words, and any random sentence could make the experienced sister blush and snicker. The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were not surprised.
It even feels like it should be.
The elegance and easygoing of a literati cannot be seen in him.
In the early years, the seat owner dared to negotiate with the enemy country on the border. He talked about being able to pick up a low table and smash the head of the envoy to bleed. This also led to the fact that the capital city was filled with protons sent by various forces, and the inner court of the Lord Xin was filled with concubines sent by various small countries.
That Chu Ji from Chu State...
seems to be the last "trophy"?
It is said that the disintegration of the three masters of the Chu Kingdom was also fueled by this person. It can be called a strong record. Yu Wei is still there.
Zheng Qiao didn't think of seeking revenge for the enemy for the time being.
But Zheng Qiao's dog legs may not be so.
The sheriff is naturally one of the dogs.
However, he still didn't dare to take the head of his seat.
He entertained them with delicious food and drinks, treating the two of them as poor relatives who came to fight the autumn wind. After the banquet was over, he ordered his servants to withdraw two hundred taels of gold from the storeroom and send them to the guest house. The old man lifted the red silk, glanced at the plate of gold ingots brought up, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
阍 (hūn) dog: watchdog.
Master: It is similar to the "Tian Shi" and "Zuo Shi" that Qishan called before, but the age is different. It is the respectful title given by students of a certain class to the chief examiner of that class.
PS: I have lived up to expectations. I have had a cold for two days. I woke up early this morning with inflammation of my tonsils and a sore throat. I went to prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs before I had a fever. Otherwise, if you have a fever, you have to do a nucleic acid test|ω｀)
