In the following days, Song You often taught Sanhua Empress how to read in the room with the door closed.
Of course it's not about studying all day and staying up late, that would be too tiring.
Song You usually only taught her in the afternoon. After dinner, he would take a nap and let her practice.
I only teach her a dozen words every day.
Every time you teach her a word, you have to marvel, praise, be incredulous or doubt that she will work hard secretly. In short, it will not be the same every day. When you have taught her three or four words, stop in time and tell her what ordinary people do every day.
Energy and intelligence are both limited. Although Empress Sanhua is extremely talented, her energy and intelligence are not inexhaustible. Then at her strong request, I will teach her some more.
After teaching, I didn't forget to advise her not to study secretly, and then pretended not to know that she was studying secretly.
The shop sign at the door has not been removed. If someone knocks on the door and asks them to exorcise evil spirits and catch mice, they will go there. If the visitor sees that the door is closed and stops coming, it is not because he cannot help.
I feel guilty when seeing others, I just feel that there is no fate between the two parties, and I am happy to have another day of leisure.
Gradually spring ends and summer begins.
The sunshine is increasing, thunderstorms are becoming more frequent, and the leaves on the willow branches are becoming more and more lush. The sun outside the window every day makes it difficult to open one's eyes. People's clothes on the street are getting shorter and shorter, and some even do hard work in the city.
Wearing a shirt with a strip of cloth around the waist holding the ribs, I often sweat profusely.
It already feels like summer.
During these days, Wu Nuxia still leaves early and comes home late.
After finishing elm money, I picked locust flowers again.
Sometimes I cut two kilograms of meat, and I would come to ask him to process it and join me. Sometimes on the way back, I would see something that smelled good, so I would buy some and share it with them. Sometimes I would be in a good mood, and I would come to see them and invite them to go or stay nearby.
Or it would be fun to have some snacks somewhere far away.
This heroine was sometimes tired, sometimes relaxed, and sometimes a little evil and bloody. Song You didn't bother much. Just like what he said at the beginning, they got along with each other easily.
The most I could ask her was why she invited them to dinner again.
Wu Nuxia grinned and told him——
Once you enter the Jianghu, you are a person with bad luck.
Right now, she was trying to survive in Changjing, with her head stuck in her waistband. She was tired and dangerous. She went out every day and wondered if she would come back. But she came back successfully, but she couldn't find anything else to do. It was really boring.
When it comes to interests and hobbies, she is also very lacking.
She didn't eat much good food when she was a child, and she didn't have much knowledge when she grew up. She didn't understand poetry and songs, couldn't listen to music, and couldn't enjoy tea. Eating was her biggest hobby in her life. However, when she was young, she didn't have much knowledge.
I didn’t have the money to afford it, so I couldn’t afford it, and I couldn’t travel far. Now that I can afford it, I can’t travel far, and I’ve found that it’s really hard to eat some food alone.
If you order too much, you won’t be able to finish it; if you order too little, you won’t be able to finish it.
Nothing more, nothing less, and not very interesting.
When others see you alone, they always like to look at you.
I used to have no friends or old friends in Changjing. I came back every day, filled my stomach casually, curled up on the bed on the second floor, stared at the dark night with my eyes open for a while, and woke up the next morning. Now there are more
As a friend with whom I get along quite well, I naturally want to invite my friends to have a good meal together.
When I first came here, I loved eating it.
Secondly, to comfort myself for the hard work, to reward myself for living one more day, and to celebrate that I am one step closer to the goal I set when I came to Changjing.
In any case, after a tiring and dangerous day, she could find a good friend who she could talk to and who didn't ask questions and have a good meal together without any burden. Even when she was depressed, she kept her head down.
She concentrated on eating without saying a word, and he didn't ask too many questions. She felt it was really a comfortable thing.
Good.
Song You is also very satisfied with this kind of life and contact.
It's wonderful to be able to see it without getting deeply involved in it, and to experience it without feeling tired.
I am also satisfied with this kind of friendship.
It's gradually coming to May.
…
The plums are left with sour teeth, and the bananas are divided into green and window screens.
The day is long and I wake up without thoughts, watching children catching willow flowers.
The Taoist put away his brush and looked at a line of words on the paper.
The window on the second floor was still open, and the breeze blew the willow branches and came in through the window, bringing a little coolness and blowing the fragrance of ink in front of me.
The little girl grabbed the edge of the desk with both hands and stretched her neck to look.
Then he raised his head and looked at the Taoist with doubts in his eyes.
"What did you write?"
"What does Sanhua Empress know?"
"Day, long, son, son, child."
The little girl stood on tiptoes and pointed at the writing on the paper one by one. Because the ink was not dry yet, she did not dare to poke it down, and read each word one by one.
Finally, he pointed to the words in the lower left corner:
"flower!"
"Miss Sanhua is amazing."
"Why don't I recognize so many words?" The little girl raised her head and stared at the Taoist, her eyes rolling around wildly, and she felt a little suspicious.
"Because Sanhua Empress hasn't learned yet."
"You won't teach me."
"There are too many words in the world. Even if Empress Sanhua is extremely talented, she still has to learn each word slowly and not in a hurry." Song You said patiently.
"I am very smart."
"That's natural." Song You pursed his lips and said calmly, "Now Empress Sanhua can already write a lot of words, but she has always used willow branches and sand tables, and has never used pen and ink. How about
How about trying to write on paper with a brush today?"
As he spoke, he handed the brush to the little girl.
As expected, the little girl's attention was diverted. She glanced at the pen and paper. She couldn't see the thoughts on her face, but she didn't reach out to pick it up. Instead, she said abruptly:
“Paper costs money!”
"It doesn't matter." The Taoist touched the girl's head, "Maybe it will become more precious because of the words written by Empress Sanhua."
"Can't understand."
"Try it."
"oh……"
The little girl took the brush hesitantly.
Following the Taoist's instructions, she held the pen holder, looked down at the paper on the table, dipped ink on the inkstone like the Taoist did, scraped it carefully, and carefully wrote down.
Four big words fell on the paper——
Sanhua Empress.
It's not pretty, but it's neat, with more than a dozen ink dots, large and small, splattered out.
After she finished writing, she quickly put away the pen and did not dare to write more.
"Very good! Empress Sanhua is still young. She has just started to learn, and she already has the style of everyone when she writes for the first time. What can she do if it takes time?"
"!"
The little girl did not speak and had no expression. Her inner thoughts could not be seen from her face.
But if there is a tail, I'm afraid it's already raised.
The Taoist let the ink dry and carefully put away the paper.
In fact, not only did the paper cost money, the ink was also the fragrant ink from Yidu, which was very expensive. After using it, he rarely used it, and he took it out again today.
But no matter how expensive paper and ink are, they are also carriers of words. How can they compare to the first line of words written by Empress Sanhua?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door below.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
The Taoist went downstairs with the girl. When he opened the door, he saw a young servant standing at the door.
As soon as the servant saw him, he quickly saluted him.
"Sir, you are so polite."
"You don't need to be polite when you step down." Song You also bowed back, and saw beads of sweat on his face, "I don't know why I came down to look for you?"
"Sir, can you exorcise evil spirits?"
"nature."
Song You pointed at the shop sign on the door.
"My master also heard about your master's abilities from others, so he came here to invite you." The servant said, "I wonder if it would be convenient for you, sir, to come with me. My master will be very grateful."
"I don't know where the master I'm talking about lives?"
"The junction of East City and West City, not far away."
"What's going on?"
"My master has been feeling restless recently. He wakes up in the middle of the night as if he is being spied on. He went to Tianhai Temple to ask for a consecrated magic weapon, but it was of no use." The servant looked embarrassed, "Master wants to be strong, but I can't say more about it."
, Sir, if it is convenient, please go over and have a look."
"That's fine."
Song You looked up at the scorching sun above his head. Although he didn't want to go out, he agreed.
Then he turned around and said to the little girl behind him: "It's sunny and hot outside, and there's no one at home, so I'd like to ask Empress Sanhua to guard the house. Don't let anyone get in and steal anything. Please Sanhua too."
Empress, please pay attention to the balance between work and rest, and practice calligraphy appropriately. With Empress Sanhua’s talent, she can write very well without having to practice twice as much.”
"knew!"
The little girl secretly looked at the Taoist, and she promised well, but in her heart she had decided to study secretly.
How could you not practice harder?
The so-called extraordinary talent is all the result of her secretly practicing. The Taoist priest didn't know, so he said that she was extremely talented. If he stopped practicing one day, wouldn't he feel that his talent suddenly became worse?
How can that be done!
Naturally, the Taoist didn't know about this, so he only said softly to the servant: "Please lead the way forward."
"Don't dare, please."
The servant walked forward respectfully.
Along the way, he told Song You something related to his master, keeping his voice low as if he was afraid of being heard by passers-by on the street.
His master is the military attaché of the capital, responsible for the defense of the capital, and is in his prime.
Being able to serve as a military attache must be a person with strong martial arts skills. Logically speaking, such a military attache should be difficult to approach and immune to all evil spirits. However, lately, I have been feeling restless. I always feel like someone is watching me after I fall asleep.
The military attache guarding the capital was worried that his house was haunted and his body was possessed by evil spirits. He was afraid of being laughed at if he told the truth, so he did not dare to invite famous experts. Just recently, I heard by chance that there was a man in Xicheng who had just arrived in Changjing.
The young gentleman seemed to have some skills but was not well-known, so he thought of inviting him over to have a look.
Song You followed him all the way into the mansion.
The house is not big and the location is average.
It is indeed difficult to live in Changjing.
Song You stepped into the courtyard gate and looked around, but he didn't notice any evil aura.
Immediately the host came out to greet him.
As expected, he is a strong military attache! He was taking a bath at home in the summer. He was dressed casually. His thin clothes could not block the outline of his muscles at all. He was also at an age when his vitality was strong. For such a warrior, ordinary ghosts might come before him.
You can't get close to him. As for ordinary evil spirits, even if they won't be killed by his sword, they won't dare to easily become his enemy!
This is indeed the case——
Song You squinted his eyes and took a look, but didn't notice anything strange about his master.
Until he entered the master's bedroom.
I saw a painting hanging on the wall——
The man in the painting is neatly dressed, tall, riding a horse, holding a spear, and is lifelike. When he looks at him, he feels more agile. In a daze, he even feels that he is about to rush out of the painting, using the momentum of the charge.
Pierce the person in front of him, then nail him directly to the door behind him.
The man in the painting is the military attache in front of him.
