Lanke Chess Edge

After a while, an old scholar with gray hair wearing a Confucian robe knocked on the door twice.

Seer Yin Zhao hugged the book and handed him over, and stretched out his hand to invite him into the school.

"Master Zhou! Come in quickly!"

"Master Yin!"

Master Zhou also bowed his hands in return, then came in and stood beside Yin Zhaoxian, looking at the sixty or seventy students in the classroom, which was quite a considerable number.

"This one is Master Zhou in the county. After Yin leaves, he will temporarily take the post of Master Zhou in the days to come. Come, everyone will salute to Master Zhou."

When the students in the school heard the words, they stood up one after another, bowed to Master Zhou together, and said hello in unison.

"Hello, Master Zhou!"

Old Master Zhou stroked his beard and nodded, having a good initial impression of these students.

When it was time for the school to end, the students were going back one after another. Yin Zhaoxian stood in the courtyard of the school and handed over the letters belonging to the students to them in person. He also gave some personal advice.

The kind of friendship between teachers and students makes Old Master Zhou feel emotional. He has taught private schools for many years, and how many students have deep feelings for him.

In the evening, Yin Zhaoxian and Yin Qing and their son went home together. Yin Qing did not speak until he was walking on the alley of Tianniufang and could see Ju'an Pavilion in the distance. Yin Qing said a word.

"Dad, the jujube fruit is ripe!"

Looking up, the jujubes in the courtyard of Ju'an Pavilion are already full of branches, and they are almost ripe.

"Yes, this year is fruitful and ripe!"

Yin Zhaoxian smiled.

"It's strange, since Mr. Ji left, the jujube tree has not bloomed and no fruit for two years, but it bears fruit again this year."

Yin Qing smiled.

"Perhaps I know that my father is going to take the exam, and I have the results this year! Anyway, we have a good time!"

"You child!"

The father and son walked forward, talking and laughing, passing by the Ju'an Pavilion, looking at the attractive jujubes on the branches, and there was a faint fragrance of fruit flowing out.

Perhaps it was because Yin Qing's words reminded Yin Zhaoxian, or perhaps it was because the father and son became interested.

After returning home, they hurriedly finished the dinner that Mother Yin had prepared, and the father and son took the keys of the Ju'an Pavilion and went to pick jujubes to eat.

In the evening, Hongxia was hanging in the sky. In front of the small pavilion, Yin Zhaoxian used the key to open the copper lock and slowly opened the courtyard door.

"Squeak~~"

The sound of the door pivoting sounded, and the two father and son were stunned before they entered the door, because there was actually someone in the courtyard!

Naturally, this person wasn't scheming, but an elderly man wearing a round-neck tunic and a blouse with a straight front. He was looking up at the jujube tree. When the courtyard door opened, he turned to look at the master of the Yin family.

"Who is the old gentleman? Why is he in the courtyard of Ju'an Pavilion?"

Yin Zhaoxian frowned and asked, subconsciously looking at the small pavilion's wall, this height is not a height that an old man can climb in, is it a Jianghu guest?

The old man smiled when he saw the master of the Yin family just thinking for a moment.

"You must be Mr. Ji's friend in the county, right? Dare to ask Mr. Master's name?"

"Do you know Mr. Ji?"

Yin Qingxian's father asked in surprise, but Yin Zhaoxian didn't dare to neglect when he heard that the other party knew Jiyuan, and answered with a bow.

"Under Yin Zhaoxian, this is the child Yin Qing. I don't know the old gentleman's name, and I don't know where he met Mr. Ji?"

The old man looked at Yin Zhaoxian for a while, and bowed his hand back to him.

"The old surname is Ying Hong, I once met Mr. Ji in the rain in the neighboring county, and he is also Mr. Ji's friend!"

Seeing that the old man's demeanor was calm and his appearance did not look like a thief, and the other party said that he was a friend of Mr. Ji, the master of the Yin family walked into the garden a little excited.

"It turned out to be Mr. Ji's friend. Unfortunately, Mr. Ji has been away for a long time, so I won't be able to see him here."

Yin Zhaoxian explained with a smile.

"Well, the old man knows..."

The old man continued to look at the jujube tree while laughing.

"I've been here for the past two years, and the jujube tree has not yielded any fruit. This year, it can be considered the end! At the beginning, Mr. Ji only gave me two jujubes, which is really not enough to eat!"

"what?"

Yin Zhaoxian was a little puzzled, has this person been here in the past two years? No impression, do you sneak in like this every time, and leave after seeing no result?

But it is also very understandable to hear that the old man is greedy for fresh jujubes. Whoever has eaten these jujubes will never forget them.

So Yin Zhaoxian laughed and said:

"It must be because Mr. Ji didn't bring many jujubes when he went out. This time, the old man came at a good time. You can eat all the jujubes in this courtyard!"

This jujube plan originally entrusted Yin Zhaoxian to share the fruit, and there is a friend who comes from afar, so it's okay if you want to eat more.

The old gentleman who was looking at the jujube tree across from him lit up when he heard the words, and the jujube branches in the courtyard actually had a trembling feeling at this moment, as if a gust of wind happened to blow.

"Hehehehe... Master Yin is joking. If you are not full, it is not convenient to eat openly! Let's just take one bite. I wonder if Master Yin agrees?"

"One bite?"

Yin Zhaoxian was astonished, and at the same time, he was also a little suspicious in his heart. Is it possible that Mr. Ji's friend is also extraordinary?

"Yes, just one bite! Does Master Yin agree?"

The old man stroked his beard and nodded, as if I would only taste it.

"Hehe, what is there to disagree with? Yin is just taking care of the jujube fruit for Mr. Ji. Since he is Mr. Ji's friend, the old gentleman can eat as much as he wants! Qing'er, we will pick the fruit for the old gentleman."

"Okay, pick the fruit!"

Yin Qing couldn't bear it any longer. He finally heard that he could pick jujubes, but before he could move, the old gentleman spoke again.

"No, no, no trouble!"

Speaking of this, the old man raised his head again, the corners of his mouth widened, and he also imitated Yin Qing's tone.

"Hahahaha...Eat the jujubes~~~ Ang ro~~~~"

woohoo~~~ hoo~~~

In the inaudible sound of the dragon's roar, the gust of wind suddenly rose in the courtyard, the whole jujube tree swayed, and countless jujubes were swept off the branches by the gust of wind, and together with the gust of wind, they were swept into the mouth of the old man's open universe.

Yin Zhaoxian and Yin Qing stood unsteadily and raised their hands to stand in front of them, shocked and scared.

In the past few breaths, the short-lived gust of wind stopped, and the two father and son were shocked to find that at least half of the fruit on the jujube tree in the courtyard had gone, but the branches and leaves had not been damaged much.

It's just that the posture of the jujube tree swaying in the wind is a bit weird.

"Squeak... squeak..."

There was a sound of chewing from the mouth of the old man beside him, and the fresh aroma of the jujube also overflowed.

"It's not bad, it tastes very good, it tastes very good!"

Master Yin's heart is still beating so fast now, even if he has a little mental preparation, it is too different from what he imagined.

"Master Yin, this old man can only take one bite and never break his promise. You can't make a false accusation against Mr. Ji about today's affairs, hahahaha..."

Although Yin Zhaoxian's heart twitched, he still tried his best to calm down and handed over to the old man.

"Yin Mou has eyes and does not know the real person. The old man promises to do what he says. He really only took one bite, but it scared Yin and his son. If there is another time, I hope the old man will remind him first. !"

Ying Hong has been watching Yin Zhaoxian carefully since he met Swallowing Dates just now, and he is also very upright and extraordinary. At this moment, when he hears the words of the person who is still free and easy despite the lingering fears in his heart, he smiled and nodded.

"As expected of Mr. Ji's only friend in the county, it's the old man who scared Master Yin, so don't be surprised!"

"Don't dare!"

After going back and forth, although there were lingering fears, the atmosphere became harmonious. They took off a plate of dates, sat down at the stone table and chatted with each other, mainly talking about how to strengthen their fate and how to become friends.

When the father and son of the Yin family complemented each other and talked about the story of Ji Yuan who rescued the red fox and released it together with Yin Qing, the old man was also smiling.

Although the old man obviously concealed some things in his words, Yin Zhaoxian didn't ask about it, let alone ask the old man who was obviously not a mortal person. He just listened and talked.

The two chatted very happily, and the old man named Ying Hong seemed to suddenly think of something, clapping his head and screaming.

"Almost forgot!"

During the conversation, he usually took out a thin-necked porcelain jug and two porcelain cups from behind and placed them on the stone table.

"The old man owes Mr. Ji a drink, but unfortunately Mr. Ji is amazing and can't be counted if he can't find it. I'm here to see if the jujube is ripe~www.NovelMTL.com~ and also to see if he's back. Since I met Master Yin at first sight, please ask Master, how about tasting this wine for Mr. Ji?"

"Why not!"

Yin Zhaoxian is also free and easy. Although he rarely drinks alcohol, he thought that he shouldn't be ashamed of Mr. Ji, why don't he just have a drink!

The old man smiled without saying a word, and poured a cup for him and himself.

"Master Yin, please!"

"At the request of the old gentleman!"

The two of them raised their glasses and drank the wine. Yin Zhaoxian could only feel the sweet, pure and thick taste of the wine, and a wave of heat flowed through his body, causing his cheeks to blush.

"Good... wine..."

Before he finished speaking, he lay on the stone table and did not move.

Yin Qing, who was just eating dates, panicked. He looked at the old man and his father. Knowing that the old man would not hurt him to pay, Yin Qing was still worried.

"Sir, this... my father... is he all right?"

"Hahahaha... It doesn't matter, Master Yin is invincible and drunk!"

The old man raised his glass and drank the wine in his glass, and laughed happily!

"Go home and get a blanket to cover your father, and let him sleep in the courtyard tonight! Go, go!"

Yin Qing swallowed her saliva and nodded, but she didn't dare to go against the old gentleman's wishes, and hurried out of the yard to run home.

After Yin Qing left, the old man smiled slightly, poured another glass of wine, and stood up with the glass in hand.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the jujube tree in the courtyard.

"Haha, I'll buy you a drink too!"

After saying that, he raised his glass and poured it to the root of the tree, but the soil didn't even get wet when the wine was in it.

When Yin Qing hurriedly took the blanket and came back with the worried mother Yin, there was no one else in the courtyard except Yin Zhaoxian, who was sleeping on the table.
