At the end of the first day, Ling Yun led Yang Ergou towards the location given by Li Chengyou. Because he was not familiar with the place, he asked many questions along the way before arriving at the final destination.
When he arrived at the designated place, he signaled Yang Ergou to come forward and knock on the door.
"Who?"
There was a knock on the door, and a voice came from the house. When the door opened, Yang Ergou retreated behind Ling Yun, and then Ling Yun stepped forward to reveal his identity.
The person who opened the door was quite old, perhaps in his forties. Ling Yun saluted him and said in a very respectful manner, "This old man, I am Ling Yun, came here to pay homage to the master."
When he heard him announcing his name, the old man was particularly surprised. He was stunned for three seconds, and then looked him up and down.
Ling Yun maintained his original posture and faced him with a smile until the old man stopped, looked at him and exclaimed, "Are you Ling Yun?"
Ling Yun nodded slightly and affirmed, "This is Ling Yun."
The old man confirmed again and again that it was correct. He bent down and exchanged a few warm greetings. Then he made a gesture of invitation and said, "Master Yun, please come in quickly. I have been thinking about Master Yun for a long time. I have been asking about you these days.
There is no news of Master Yun's arrival! I miss you so much."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Ling Yun was slightly startled and looked at the old man with his peripheral vision, trying to tell from his face how close this statement was to the truth.
In his impression, the letters Li Chengyou sent to him never revealed a single bit of his thoughts about him. The letters were filled with complaints or complaints about his dissatisfaction.
Of course, most of the content is about current affairs or things happening around him. The most important thing is to examine his skills, and also to advise him not to forget to review and lose his enterprising spirit.
Now that I heard what the old man said, I was really shocked, but the expression on the old man's face remained unchanged, so that he couldn't see any trace of it. Seeing this, he had to retract his eyes angrily and return without success.
I followed the old man along and looked around at Li Chengyou's residence. The mansion was quite spacious, but there were very few maids and Xiaosi, and the decoration in the mansion was quite monotonous.
It seems that the residence of this cheap master is not as luxurious as he imagined. With this style, it looks extremely simple. It can be seen that Li Chengyou is an upright person and has a leisurely and indifferent temperament.
When he arrived at the front hall, the old man poured him a cup of tea and asked him to wait for a while, then turned around and left. He thought he should go to find his cheap master.
Not long after, the old man left and returned, but as he expected, Li Chengyou did not arrive, and the old man was the only one.
Thinking about it carefully, I can't help but wonder. Did it happen that Li Chengyou was not at home? Otherwise, he wouldn't have avoided it, right?
Of course, as soon as he came to Kyoto, the first thing he did was to visit him at his door. Although he didn't bring any expensive gifts, he was sincere, so he couldn't refuse to see him, right?
The fact was not what he thought. The old man told him that Li Chengyou was in the study and could not leave for a while, so he asked him to go to the study to meet him.
Although I feel depressed in my heart, it seems that this situation can only be like this.
Following the old man to the door of the study, the old man stopped, made a gesture of invitation to him, motioned for him to come forward, and then stepped back on his own.
Seeing this, he first shrugged, straightened his clothes and appearance, so as not to cause Li Chengyou to complain, and did everything well before going up to the door and knocking on the door, and whispered, "Disciple Ling Yun, please see the teacher."
"Come in."
A dull echo came from the room. This voice was familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, which made him a little nervous, making him appear awkward and timid.
I took a deep breath, swallowed, and calmed down my nervousness. Then I opened the door and walked in. I looked up and saw that Li Chengyou was sitting at the desk, writing something nonstop with a brush in his hand.
He continued to take two or three steps forward until he reached the steps of the desk, then he bowed and saluted respectfully, "Student Ling Yun, I have met the teacher."
Hearing his words, Li Chengyou didn't even raise his head and replied tepidly, "Well! Are you here?"
Ling Yun will be even more depressed now, feeling that he is being exposed and doesn't understand what it means. Didn't the old man say that Li Chengyou misses him a lot?
This look, as cold as a stranger's, made him doubt the old man's words again.
Perhaps noticing that he was frozen in place, Li Chengyou raised his head, looked him over, and whispered, "What are you doing there? Why don't you come over quickly?"
"Forehead…"
"teacher…"
Although the letters were not broken, I had not seen him for many years. When I stood next to Li Chengyou again, I suddenly felt at a loss. It was like the uneasy feeling of a primary school student who suddenly meets his class teacher whom he has not seen for many years after graduating from elementary school for many years.
So much so that he stood aside obediently, not daring to make the slightest move, for fear that his actions would make the people next to him dissatisfied.
Finding that he didn't speak or sit down, Li Chengyou stopped what he was doing, looked up at him again, and said thoughtfully, "What are you doing standing there? Have nothing to do?"
How would he answer this...this?
He wanted to answer in his heart that something was wrong. He was too busy. It was simply a major event in his life. He was in a hurry to find a wife, so he just came here first.
Besides, this is not his home. What can happen if he comes to visit?
You can't see him idle, just think it's an eyesore, right?
This reason is too far-fetched.
Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Li Chengyou suddenly stood up. Ling Yun was startled and involuntarily took two or three steps back, lowering his head and waiting for his reprimand.
Unexpectedly, when Li Chengyou saw the embarrassed person, a faint smile appeared on his lips, but Ling Yun lowered his head and did not see it. Then Li Chengyou said in an interesting tone, "Since you have nothing to do, come and sit down."
Ling Yun didn't think about it, the master let him pass, and he walked over decisively.
At this time, Li Chengyou pointed to the place where he had just sat, smiled and said, "Sit."
Ling Yun was stunned and raised his head slightly to look at him, full of doubts.
Without any extra explanation, Li Chengyou continued to motion for him to sit down. Although he was confused, he still sat down obediently.
Only after he sat down did he realize that he had boarded the pirate ship and started the journey of being tortured.
Just when he was feeling uneasy, Li Chengyou turned his back to him by some mistake, and turned over and over on the bookshelf next to him.
Suddenly, when he was distracted, Li Chengyou took down a stack of test papers from the bookshelf, placed them directly in front of him, looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "Since there is nothing to do, let's practice my skills."
Ling Yun looked at him in astonishment, his pupils widened, his face full of disbelief. He looked back at the test questions on the desk, which were as thick as a thumb, wondering if he was serious?
areyoukidding?
Ten thousand reasons slowly floated through my mind, wondering if this was some kind of prank.
It's just that Li Chengyou looked solemn at this time, and there was no hint of a joke. Should he really be asked to take these test questions again?
