Miao Yuting was recuperating in the house, lying on the bed reading a book. Suddenly he heard someone knocking on the door. He hurriedly pulled up his shoes and stood by the window and looked out. He saw Li Lanqiu coming down from the horse. He was overjoyed and quickly put on his clothes.

, arranged his clothes and shoes, ran out of the house and opened the door. He smiled as he ran and said: "Oh, it turns out that Brother Yin is here! I'm sorry for being so far away, I apologize! Brother Yin is really awesome when he comes.

It’s so radiant!”

Yin Ruonan stood outside the gate and said with a smile: "I have been thinking about your injury these past two days, but I have been busy with some mundane things these past two days, so I postponed it until today! Brother Miao is feeling well?"

Miao Yuting opened the door, cupped his hands and said: "Come in quickly! Thank you Brother Yin for your concern. The medicine that Brother Yin gave me is indeed good medicine. Yu Chengyue, the butcher in my village, looked at my injury and said that without this medicine,

I have to stay in bed for at least two months!" Miao Yuting lowered his head, saw the little fat man, and said happily: "Liu Dazhuhu, why are you here? Have you done your homework for the past two days?"

The little fat man smiled and said: "Mr. Miao, it was your friend who asked me for directions, and I brought them to you." The little fat man laughed again, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "

Mr. Miao, you also know that I am not as diligent in reading as I am in practicing martial arts! In the future, I just need to be a martial artist who knows a few words and is not blind. If I want to study to the extent of being as knowledgeable as Mr. Miao, that is

It’s impossible!”

Sun Zongcheng laughed, "Oh, you are amazing, you know a lot of things! Mr. Miao really didn't teach you in vain!"

Miao Yuting apologized: "Don't stand at the door talking, come in quickly, come in quickly!" He let everyone in, and saw Li Lanqiu and Sikong Jing carrying two old hens and cakes, fruits and other things, and hurriedly laughed with them.

He said: "Oh, look, you just came here, why did you bring something with you? This makes me so embarrassed!" After all, he and Yin Ruonan met by chance, and he was surprised and surprised that the other party came to see him.

Very touched.

Yin Ruonan smiled and said: "I don't know what Brother Miao likes to eat. I came here in a hurry and only brought these things. Brother Miao doesn't mind being polite!"

Miao Yuting laughed and said: "Oh my God, Brother Yin is so polite! I am very grateful that you can come to see me. You also come with these gifts. I am really scared and uneasy, and it is difficult for Brother Yin."

I'm thinking of my little brother, and I'm very flattered! Please, please, please come to the house quickly!" After saying this, they let everyone into the living room, and Li Lanqiu and Sikong Jing handed the gifts to Miao Yuting to collect.

Yin Ruonan sat down at the Eight Immortals table, and Miao Yuting quickly boiled water and made tea, and then said with a smile: "I live alone, so it is inevitable that the house will be a little messy, which will make a few people laugh!"

Li Lanqiu came over to help him boil water and make tea, "Mr. Miao, let me do it! I have always been very familiar with these things!"

How could Miao Yuting let Li Lanqiu do this? He kept saying: "Brother Li, you can't do it! You are guests from afar, how can I let you do these menial tasks? Otherwise, Brother Yin will scold me when he goes back!"

Li Lanqiu smiled and said: "No, my young master has always been tolerant. Besides, I am used to doing these things at home. You are a patient, how can I let you make tea? Go sit down quickly and let me

Come and do it!" With that, he pushed Miao Yuting to the Eight Immortals table and sat with Yin Ruonan.

When the princess met her guests, Sikong Jing and Sun Zongcheng stood next to Yin Ruonan like pillars. Pretending that they wanted to see the little fat man's sword skills, they took him out to the yard outside.

Yin Ruonan looked around the living room of Miao Yuting's house. There was a painting hanging in the middle, which was a picture of spring mountains and streams. Next to it hung a couplet that read: Good friends come like the moon, and good books are worth reading.

Hua Yin Ruonan couldn't help but smile and asked: "Brother Miao, do you live here by yourself? Neither your father-in-law nor your sister-in-law are here?"

Miao Yuting said with a smile: "Brother Yin, I haven't gotten married yet!" He added: "I lost my mother when I was seven years old, and my father when I was ten years old. Later, I grew up in my uncle's house, and this house was empty.

It took a few years, but last spring I came back to live here by myself, teaching a few students, making a living, planting some vegetables, raising some flowers, playing the piano and reading books in my free time, and I was enjoying myself!"

Yin Ruonan was so happy that she couldn't help but blurt out, "It turns out that Brother Miao hasn't gotten married yet, that's great!" The little maid Li Lanqiu was making tea when she heard the words and burst into laughter. Yin Ruonan knew that he had made a mistake and was ashamed.

Blushing, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Miao Yuting had the Chinese character "Meng" written all over his face. He didn't know what the master and servant meant, so he had no choice but to laugh along.

Yin Ruonan said hurriedly: "Brother Miao is very similar to my younger brother. My younger brother's parents also died when he was young. We are both children without a father and a mother. We share the same fate! You are lucky, and you still have your uncle to take care of you. I am miserable, almost.

We didn’t let the stepmother who was fighting for the family property get killed. It was our housekeeper who led people overnight to save our brothers and sisters! Oh, it’s really hard to describe!”

Miao Yuting sighed: "So, we really share the same destiny! My uncle is better than your stepmother. Although he also seeks my family wealth, he has no intention of harming my life. It's just that my father saved a lot of money during his years as a county magistrate.

All the money was collected by my greedy aunt. Fortunately, they were willing to let me study. I am grateful to them. Doesn't this also show that I am a scholar? Alas, in the final analysis, money is an external thing, as long as a person has the ability

, you can survive anywhere!”

Li Lanqiu boiled the tea and served it. Yin Ruonan picked up the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Brother Miao is right! A man has ambitions in all directions! I wish Brother Miao can be named on the gold list as soon as possible and become famous!"

Miao Yuting smiled and said: "Thank you very much. I'd like to lend you Brother Yin's kind words! By the way, Brother Yin, how expensive are you this year?"

Yin Ruonan joked: "My little brother is fifteen years old this year. I wonder how old Brother Miao is this year?"

Miao Yuting couldn't help laughing when he heard him ask her "age", "Brother Yin is indeed an interesting person! Brother Yu is two years older than you this year, he is seventeen years old! If brother Yin doesn't mind, from now on

From today on, I will call you younger brother Yin Xian! How about that?"

Yin Ruonan laughed and said: "Excellent, excellent! Originally, I was two years younger, so it's good to recognize you as my brother! There is an eldest brother in my family who is three years older than you, and he is twenty years old this year!"

Miao Yuting asked with a smile: "I guess your brother is also a scholar?"

Yin Ruonan nodded and said: "My eldest brother is also studying, but he has a business to take care of at home, so he did not get the honors. He inherited his father's business and became a big shopkeeper!"

Miao Yuting sighed: "That's a pity! If a scholar doesn't get the honors, it will be difficult for him to find an official position, serve the people, and serve the court! I also despised the honors. Now look at it, not

It’s still not possible to obtain academic honors, so I have to study hard, otherwise I won’t even have a platform to show off!”

Yin Ruonan extended his thumb and praised: "Brother Miao's words make sense, just have a sip of tea!" The two laughed and raised their glasses, each taking a sip of tea.

At this time, someone knocked on the door again and shouted: "Brother Miao, are you at home?"

Hearing the sound, Miao Yuting stood up and walked to the window. He opened the window and took a look. He laughed and said, "It turns out that Brother Mo Cheng and Brother Lu Yan are here!" He turned around and smiled at Yin Ruonan: "They are two students from the school.

Friends are here! Come on, let’s go out and welcome them in!”

Yin Ruonan heard that two more scholars had arrived, and was interested, so he followed Miao Yuting out to greet them. The scholar whose surname was Mo was Mo Cheng, with a square face and a dark complexion. He wore a gray gown and a square scarf, and the scholar whose surname was Lu was Lu Yan.

With a pig-belly face, a purple face, and a blue gown, his appearance is unattractive. It makes Miao Yu's graceful figure stand out against the wind.

Mo Cheng was holding a big carp, and Lu Yan was holding some cakes, and they laughed together and said, "Oh, brother Yuting, I heard that you were injured, let's come and see you!"

Miao Yuting hurriedly bowed and saluted, "You two gentlemen are so polite! How can I care about being sick? Come on, let me introduce you. This is Brother Yin, my new friend. Brother Yin is a scholar from Yong'an. This is

The two of them are Brother Mo Cheng and Brother Lu Yan, both of whom are talented people from Songshan County!" The three of them held hands with each other and said goodbye to each other. It was nothing more than a casual conversation, and Miao Yuting hurriedly stepped in.

At this time, Yin Ruonan discovered that Sun Zongcheng and Sikong Jing had gone somewhere, and even the little fat man Liu Dazhuzi was no longer there. He quietly asked Li Lanqiu, and Li Lanqiu said that the three of them went to the house of Yu Chengyue, the butcher in the village, and Yin Ruonan didn't care. The three scholars

Together with Yin Ruonan, a fake scholar, the four of them drank tea and talked and laughed in the room. Li Lanqiu got busy in the kitchen, cooking.

Here, the little fat man Liu Dazhuzi, with a wooden knife in his waist, led Sun Zongcheng and Sikong Jing to the middle of the village. The three of them walked and talked, and soon came to a three-thatched mud house. Liu Dazhuzhu used his hand

Pointing one finger, "Uncle Sun, Uncle Si, and Uncle Yu who taught me swordsmanship live here. My Uncle Yu used to be a soldier. After returning home, he didn't like to talk to people much and only made a living by killing pigs!"

"

Sun Zongcheng nodded and said nothing. The little fat man opened the door and walked into the courtyard. He turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle Yu sells pork here, so the courtyard door is unlocked during the day. You all can come in!"

Sikong Jing and Sun Zongcheng looked at each other, nodded each, and entered the yard one after the other. Four feet away from the front of the house was a pigsty made of bricks. It was also clean, and there were about ten fat pigs in it.

Fat pig.

Under the eaves of the thatched hut, there sat a shirtless, muscular man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, holding a butcher's knife in his hand, cutting meat on a large chopping board. Hearing the sound of the door, he raised his head and saw Liu Dazhuzi walking in.

The shirtless man grinned. When he saw there were two people behind him, he thought they were here to buy pork, but he didn't care.

The little fat man Liu Dazhuzi came to the pig butcher Yu Chengyue and said with a smile: "Uncle Yu, these two are my new friends and friends of Mr. Miao. They said they wanted to come to see you, so I brought them here.

!”

The pig-butcher Yu Chengyue then raised his head and looked squarely at the two people in front of him. He looked left and right, and he seemed to look familiar to Sun Zongcheng. After looking at him carefully for a while, he suddenly became excited and asked, "Your surname is Sun?"

Sun Zongcheng took two steps forward and shouted, "Fuck you, Lao Yu! Damn you! Have you been hiding here to kill pigs all these years? You're so damn easy to find!"
