Chapter 86 Who are you like (first update added for leader Uriel 123)
After the morning ritual, Jiang Wang went out to buy breakfast as usual.
The fried cakes next to Qingmu Avenue and the tofu cakes opposite Du Dewang were Jiang Anan's favorites during this period.
When I opened the courtyard door, I saw an unexpected person.
This man had a simple face, a strong body, and was carrying a big burden. When he saw Jiang Wang, he started to bow: "Mr. Jiang!"
It was the policeman Tang Dun whom he had met in Tangshe Town. His simplicity and honesty at that time left a deep impression on Jiang Wang.
It's just that the bow was done in a nondescript manner, and the title was also awkward.
Jiang Wang remembered that Tang Dun had been taught by a traveling Confucian disciple when he was a child. Probably for him, "sir" was the highest title to express respect.
"Captain Tang, you came to Maplewood City for the Taoist Academy's outer sect examination?" Jiang Wang asked doubtfully, "Isn't it too early to come here now?"
March every year is the day for the Taoist outer sect's assessment. It is now the winter month, and there is still another year to go.
"I'm no longer a police officer, I'm quitting." Tang Dun smiled and said: "It's not too early. It's so difficult to take the Taoist entrance exam, why don't you prepare in advance? I've thought about it, this time I'm going to use a broken ax to smash the boat, I will definitely do it.
It’s done!”
"……burn one's boats?"
"Yes, yes! That's it! Otherwise, Mr. Jiang is very advanced!" Tang Dun flattered him happily, then rubbed his hands and said stiffly: "Among the people I know, Mr. Jiang is the only one with this ability.
Gao. I just wanted to ask Mr. Jiang to give me some guidance for a while..."
"If you don't teach in vain, you don't teach in vain!" As he said this, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and peeled off the three layers inside and outside, revealing a shining silver ingot, about ten taels.
He looked at Jiang Wang with wide eyes: "Sir..."
Maybe he wanted to show sincerity, but it looked more like a police officer watching some criminal thief.
"There are still a few months until the Taoist examination. Have you found a place to live?" Jiang Wang asked.
For this kind of thing, you either agree directly or refuse decisively. Hesitation is the most embarrassing thing.
"Not yet, not yet. As soon as I entered the city, I asked people everywhere to find you. You are famous in the city!" Tang Dun gave a thumbs up, said a few words happily, and then said: "I'll go right away.
Find it now!"
He handed the money to Jiang Wang: "You can accept it first."
Jiang Wang patiently helped him cover the layers of cloth back up: "Keep it for yourself, renting a house in Maplewood City is not cheap. It just so happens that starting from today, I will teach my sister how to practice martial arts. You can just come and listen. It won't take much effort.
."
He closed the courtyard door casually, "I'm going to buy breakfast now, shall we? By the way, I'll also ask the neighbors nearby if there is any suitable accommodation."
"Okay!" Tang Dun carried the big package on his back and followed excitedly.
This man is honest and down-to-earth, and he also has some cunningness that is unique to honest people, but he is not annoying. Jiang Wang has a good impression of him. Of course, it may be partly because of the little girl who he only saw the bones and paintings.
.
In fact, there are vacant rooms in the yard, so it's not that Tang Dun can't live there. But firstly, their relationship is not that good, and secondly, this home does not belong to Jiang Wang alone, and An'an's feelings are also very important. He couldn't have done it without asking.
If you feel comfortable with it, just let another person live in it.
This has nothing to do with his moral character, but only the feeling of "home" that Jiang Wang carefully maintained.
…
Wangyue Tower.
The best wine and food were laid out, and even several singers supported by Fang Ze's generous wealth were singing and dancing in front.
Fang Heling hosted a banquet for Shen Nanqi today. Why was it so grand?
Fang Heling smiled brightly and toasted frequently, but Shen Nanqi always looked like he was awake.
"Come on, Senior Brother Shen! I offer you this glass of wine. I wish you to rise higher and further, and to become the top three in this city as soon as possible!"
"No more drinking." Shen Nanqi stretched out her hand to hold down Fang Heling's wine glass, and said with a half-smile, "It's almost time."
Fang Heling was stunned for a moment, then realized what Shen Nanqi was referring to, and smiled: "That's natural! With Senior Brother Shen's talent, how can there be any reason to be unhappy?"
"Zhu Wei, I'm going to the National Academy of Education soon. Wei Yan has killed so many heretics recently, so he should be promoted." Shen Nanqi twirled his wine glass, squinted his eyes and said, "I'm about to go soon, right?" ?”
This is not easy to say.
"If you ask me, even now, senior brother, you have the strength of the top three in the Taoist Academy!"
Fang Heling's expression was sincere: "No one else has seen your majesty in killing ferocious beasts in Sanshan City, but I have seen it with my own eyes. If you ask me, Senior Brother Shen, you are too low-key, otherwise in the five years of Sancheng Luntao, Besides Senior Brother Zhang Linchuan, it should be you!
You didn't play, what was the result? Lin Zhengren didn't even take action, and the senior brother who played was defeated by Fu Baosong. Tell me, what is this?"
"Junior brother He Ling, if you have any questions, just tell me." Shen Nanqi looked at Fang Heling with a smile: "If you keep praising him like this, senior brother, I can't stand it anymore."
"I really have nothing to ask of you, senior brother." Fang Heling sat closer and said seriously: "I speak from the bottom of my heart. I invite senior brother here today because I simply respect him and thank him for taking care of me in Sanshan City. "
"That time in Sanshan City, I received the benefits. I have nothing to thank you for." Shen Nanqi raised her eyelids slightly: "You are suddenly so attentive and have nothing to ask for from me. Do you want to make friends with me?"
"If senior brother likes it, it will be He Ling's honor!" Fang Heling was very surprised: "Although He Ling is not talented, the Fang family is one of the three major surnames in Maplewood City, so they are able to support Shen. Senior brother practices!"
Shen Nanqi smiled: "He Ling, if you speak directly, I will speak directly."
He leaned back in his chair and said, "I definitely wouldn't bother making friends with you before."
Fang Heling nodded and smiled: "I was really ignorant before."
"But what about you now..." Shen Nanqi said: "I don't dare to make friends with you."
Fang Heling's smile froze,
Shen Nanqi asked: "Do you know that you look like the same person now?"
"who?"
"To be precise, you are just trying your best to imitate some external things." Shen Nanqi stood up and patted his shoulder, "Fang Pengju."
After saying that, he walked straight out. "Forget it's friends. You can still come to me for transactions."
At the beginning, Shen Nanqi was one of the senior brothers who was more optimistic about Fang Pengju in the outer sect. This was also the reason why the Fang family was able to get in touch with him.
"Senior Brother Shen, walk slowly!" Fang Heling faced his back and still managed to smile.
Boom, boom, boom.
The sound of people going downstairs became distant.
The singing and dancing stopped at some point.
The expression on Fang Heling's face slowly disappeared, and he stood up suddenly, overturning the entire table!
Some of the shadows hanging over his head he thought had been torn away long ago.
He put in countless efforts and tore off layer after layer.
